Chapter 8
I couldn’t go to sleep. All night I was wake, afraid that something bad would happen.
Vincent was awake with me,all night.
“Bella, I promise you,nothing will happen. You go to sleep, I’ll be awake” I shook my head sitting up.
“I can’t Vincent. Ho-”
“Hailey” I heard someone’s voice.
I turned around to look the sofa, in my room to see a girl sat there, with a mini skirt on and a tank top.
“Your boyfriend is a little cute. Do you think I could have him for a night?” She smirked walking close to me.
“Stay away” I shouted and Vincent sat up properly.
“What’s wrong Bella?” He asked looking around the room.
“I’ll be quick” she closed her eyes, before she disappeared and a gold night appeared in her place. It came towards me, and straight into my chest.
“No” I shouted, before I blanked out.
■■■■■■■■
Vincent’s p.o.v
Fuck.
“Bella” I touched her cheek, and her eyes opened, while a smirk graced her soft kissable lips.
No. Don’t think like that. I thought as she sat up properly.
“Are you okay Bella? Where is it?” I looked around the room.
“It’s gone” she smiled at me and I nodded slowly.
“Vincent baby, I’m sorry for everything” she pushed me onto the bed,and climbed on top of me.
Bella, calling me baby?
“Bella, are you okay?” I asked confused, as she trailed kisses down my chest.
“More than okay. I want you to fuck me. Fuck me hard” she whispered into my ear.
Fuck Bella.
“Yes. Fuck me” Bella can’t read minds.
I sat up properly, and pushed her away, carefully. She was still Bella.
“Get out of her body” I growled and she looked at me confused
“Vincent baby, it’s me, Hailey” she crawled towards me slowly.
“Stop it! Get the fuck out!” I shouted and she slumped down.
“Why are you no fun?” She whined.
“Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of Bella’s body. Now” I stated and she sighed, closing her eyes.
In a split second, Bella fell back.
“Bella?” I picked her up and placed her on my lap.
“Bella, wake up” I ran a hand through her hair.
She opened her eyes, and they seemed tired.
“Vincent?” She asked quietly
“Where am I?” She looked up
“Bella” I pulled her up and hugged her tightly.
“Just because I’m not going to reject you, doesn’t mean that you can touch me all the time. Last night was an exception” she was my Bella.
“I love you Bella” I froze,and so did she.
“What?” She pushed me away, still on my lap.
“Nothing. It was a joke” she nodded
“Do you remember anything?” I asked,changing the subject
“A gold light and then me blanking out. Nothing after that. Why what happened?”
“Well you wanted me to fuck you” I smirked as she stood up.
“You didn’t right? I don’t feel any pain. I’m a virgin. Oh shit” she covered her mouth.
“A virgin?” I asked quietly.
“Yep. It’s okay, I know you’re not a virgin. I mean if you were, it would be odd, because you’re so hot. And then you have needs as well. So ye-”
“Don’t you have needs? You think I’m hot?” I smirked as she blushed.
“I do but I’m waiting for the right one.”
“Well-” I grab her hand and pull her towards me, so she’s sat on my lap.
“You’ve found the right one” I whispered into her ear, turning her around, and hoovering over her.
“Vin-” I place my finger over her mouth.
“Shush” I place a kiss on her lips.
“I want you so bad Bella. I want to hold you tightly, not letting go. I want to kiss you every chance I get. But I won’t. I’ll wait till you want me too. Happy late birthday Bella” I whisper in her ear, notcing the shiver that runs down her back.
“You get changed, and I’ll be downstairs. Is that okay?” I asked standing up and pulling her up, so she was standing close to me.
“Is that okay Bella?”
“Why do you call me Bella?“she blurted out, her face heating up from our closeness.
“Because you’re beautiful, Bella" I whispered caressing her cheek, gently.
“Oh” she smiled slightly.
“I’ll get changed” I nodded not moving out of place.
“I know we’re having a moment, and you want this to last forever, but I really need to get changed.” She smirked pushing me back a little.
“I don’t mind waiting Bella. Just in case something happens” she shook her head.
“Nope.” She opened the door and pushed me out.
“Maybe you can give me a ki-” she closed the door.
She’s my Bella.
“Vincent?” I heard Layla’s voice. I turned around to see her walking out of the room.
“Why were you shouting?”
“Nothing. It’s all okay now. Bella trusts me”
“She trusts you, but she doesn’t want to show it. I have a feeling she’s playing hard to get” Layla smirked
“If she runs, I’ll chase” she rolled her eyes, walking back to her room.
Layla is my best friend since birth. She was born a couple of days after me.
We were so close,that people thought we were mates, even our parents thought that we were going to be mates, because we would spend every second together.
And me and Layla thought that, maybe, there’s a possibility that we are mates, so we started dating. Plus Layla did want to date a badboy, which apparently I was. But we never had that special connection, which I have with Bella.
I walked downstairs to the kitchen to see my mom making pancakes.
“Vincent.” She smiled as I sat down.
“A spirit entered Bella’s body” I whispered and she froze.
“What?” I repeated what I said
“Is she okay?” I nodded
“She’s getting changed. Mom,what am I going to do? I can’t even see them, so how am I meant to protect Bella?” I took a deep breath, running a hand through my hair.
“First of all, it’s so cute that you have nickname for Hailey. Bella? So cute. My little boy is all grown up” she gushed,pinching my cheeks.
“Mom” I exclaimed pushing her hands away.
“Okay, okay, I know how it is now
Hailey before me” she mumbled
“Mom,you know I love you, but Bella? I love her a little more. Maybe am inch more?” She smiled brightly.
“You love her? That quick?” She squeaked.
My mom can be a child sometimes, especially when dad’s not around.
“Yeah. I loved her since I laid my eyes on her,in class”
“Oh my god! Love at first sight! This is so cute. Your grandma is coming today, and she can’t wait to see Hailey” I nodded just as Bella walked into the kitchen.
“Morning” mom smiled brightly
She was going to scare her away.
Calm down with the smiles, mom. I mindlinked her
“Do you want some breakfast Hailey? Actually yes you do. You haven’t eaten since yesterday” Bella sat down next to me, and nodded at mom.
“Bella, my grandma will be coming today” I said and she looked up at me.
“Where was she?”
“In Paris., Italy, Spain, Portugal, everywhere”
“That’s cool” she smiled staring at her plate.
“Mia,when does school start?” She looked up at mom.
“Oh Hailey. Tyler and I thought that it will best if you were taught at home. Tyler and I can teach you all the subjects and everything you need to know. It’s jus that with the spirits and and all, and we won’t be able to be around you every second” Bella nodded
“Okay” she started eating her pancakes.
Bella is the perfect name for her. She is the most beautiful girl in the world.
“I’ll tell Tyler that you agreed” mom said,walking out of the kitchen.
“Bella, how are you feeling now?”
“I would feel much better if you stopped asking me that” she muttered
“Okay”
“Vincent why do you pretend?” I was confused
“What?” I asked genuinely interested in what she was going to say.
“I mean why? Why do you act like a badboy-type of person, but then you’re so sweet. Sometimes you’re so sweet,other times you’re a pervert. Why? Is all this an act?”
“Are you good at reading people, Bella?” She shrugged turning in her chair, her knees touching mine.
“I don’t know”
“Try to read me” I stated and she nodded staring into my eyes
“You want someone to be there for you, always. You fake most of the things. You pretend to be something you’re not. You want someone to understand you. You want to be with someone, someone who will love you. Someone who won’t judge what you’ve done. You’re looking for that someone” Fuck
“Are you talking about yourself Bella? You look into my eyes and tell me that you aren’t” she sighed, closing her eyes.
“I want someone to take all the pain away Vincent. Every single drop. I wish we never came here, I wish we were back in Carrington,sitting in our house, eating cookies. I wish grandma was with me. I wish I could go back in time and forget everything. I wish I never came here” Shit
“Bella, you don’t really mean that”
“I do Vincent. Every night I wish for the same thing. To go back and forget everything. But I can’t”
“Why?”
“Because you - you’re Vincent” she whispered
“And I don’t want you to leave because you’re Bella. My Bella” I touched her cheek softly and she closed her eyes.
“This feels wrong and right Vincent. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m lost, stuck”
“I’ll help you Bella. I’ll help you move on. I’ll help you forget everything. I’ll help you be happy” I whispered as she looked up at me.
“Will you Vincent?” I nodded
“Mom” I heard mom’s voice behind the kitchen door. They were listening to our conversation.
“Don’t cry Bella. I promise you, I will look after you. Will you promise me something?” I asked standing up and leaning closer to her ear.
“Promise me that you won’t tell anyone about what you found out about me. It’s our little secret” I whispered lowly in her ear and she nodded slowly
“Okay” I stood up straight and walked towards the kitchen door, opening it to see mom and grandma.
“Vincent” Grandma hugged me.
“Grandma. How are you?” I asked as she let me go.
“Good, good” she walked past me towards Bella.
“Hailey, how are you? I’m Emily”
“You’re his grandma? Fuck. You look like his mom” Bella blurted out and I chuckled.
It’s true. Grandma looks like my mom, and my real mom looks like my sister.
“Oh, I get that a lot. I know about the spirts thing. How are you feeling sweetie?” She asked sitting down in my seat.
“I’m okay”
“Honestly?” Bella took a deep breath.
“I can’t sleep, I can’t eat. Rose is sitting there looking at you, it’s freaky” spirit.
I walked towards Bella and held her hand, standing behind her.
“Oh. There’s one in this room?” Bella nodded at grandma.
“Now how does she look, Hailey?”
“She has blond hair and blue eyes. She’s my age, I think” Bella looked at the counter.
This is so odd.
“Okay. And is it a good spirit?” Bella nodded
“Have you had any experience with a bad spirit?” Bella looked at me.
“Yeah” I nodded
“And what did she want?” Grandma asked me.
“She-” I rubbed my neck looking at Bella.
“She wanted to fuck Vincent” Bella whispered and grandma nodded slowly.
“Okay. I’ll be back. I’m just going to go to Alec” Grandma stood up, walking out of the kitchen with mom behind her.
“Alec?” Bella asked and I sat down in my chair.
“My grandad” she nodded
“Vincent, what am I going to do?” She laid her head on the counter.
“What do you want to do?” I asked, touching her knee. She was wearing a dress.
“I don’t know” she pushed my hand away and I smirked.
“Well, we could do something. Something together?” I whispered into her ear.
I love it when she reacts.
“Make something?” She shrugged
“What?” I asked sitting up straight
“I don’t know. I don’t want to. I just want to lay down and go to sleep.”
“But you just woke up?” Oh.
“Did I? Did I really Vincent?” She sat up straight, narrowing his eyes at me.
“I forgot. Let’s go” I stood up, holding her hand.
She nodded, standing up and following me. We walked upstairs to her room, and she went to her bed.
“I don’t need you to be here today Vincent. I just want to be alone”
“Oh” I nodded as she laid in bed.
I nodded, staring at her for a second before walking out.
I need some sleep.
