Chapter 7 The party

The next day

Bella

I woke up early to get things done because I needed to see my stylist and also get my clothes and jewellery.

I wondered where Lucas had gone to, cause I didn't find him in his room when I knocked.

I made oatmeal for myself and left breakfast for him just in case he returns early.

At the Stylist's place .....

"hey, Derick, it's been a while, how have you been?" I asked my male stylist.

"I've been ok", he replied while hugging me.

" It has been a while you came here, so to what do I owe this visit madame". He said giving me a mocking bow. We both laughed.

Derick has been my stylist for as long as I can remember and our friendship had gone a long way.

"Lucas and I were planning to have a party tomorrow and I thought of getting something nice from you" I replied. And you're invited, hun. I added.

"Awwww, Thanks Bella babe, trust me to get you something that will have their attention glued on u," he said walking to where he kept his pretty gowns.

" HEY people" my best friend Lilly said while coming out from the elevator.

"Hey Lil," we both replied while hugging her

"How have you been Derick? the dress you made for me was so lovely I had all eyes glued to me," Lilly said

"Of course I make dresses for princesses," he said bowing.

"Bella, I'm really happy you and Lucas decided to have this party, it'll be nice having everyone together celebrating your union."

"Yeah, babe, the party is a nice idea and an avenue to show my skills to the world."

"That's all on that, can we go back to picking the dress before Lucas get's back."

" speaking of Lucas, how is he?" Lily asked

"He's ok, although I didn't meet him this morning. He left early" I answered

"I'm glad things are going well between the both of you".

"Look at the design I got for you Bella" Derick interrupted coming out with some nice clothes in his hands.

We both walked over to met him.

Lucas

I woke up this morning feeling exhausted from yesterday's baking, II wondered how Bella managed to pull everything off and still looked refreshed the next day.

I went downstairs to get coffee as I headed out to see my stylist, she would for me.

I got into my car and my driver took off, I immediately remembered how Bella slept in her room this morning.

she looked peaceful and beautiful in her white coloured nightdress. It was hard holding myself from running my hands on her smooth skin and planting a kiss on her soft lips. I made a mental check to get some aspirins for myself cause the thoughts were getting too much.

After getting my cloth, I stopped at a female boutique to get something nice for Bella as I remembered my dad getting things for my mum before every party.

Bella

The party began with guests arriving, our parents, my sister and best friend and also Derick.

Lucas had some of his friends and associates. There were so many people to greet and it was hard keeping the smile on my face. Lucas smiled at me earlier meaning I was doing just fine.

I touched the necklace on my neck and smiled, Aria and Lily were quick to catch me smiling.

" What a nice necklace you have the Bella" my sis commented.

I know we didn't get that yesterday, what's happening babe? " my best friend asked smiling at me sheepishly.

" oh, this morning while getting ready for the party, Lucas snuck into my room and gave me this necklace. He said he didn't want me going there looking like someone else aside from his wife, we both laughed it off" I told them.

"It's nice hun," my sister said.

" Lucas is such a gentleman, you're lucky honeypie. It's just a matter of time for you both to fall helplessly" Lily said forming a fake falling princess.

"You wish idiot," I replied

We all laughed.

Lucas P.O.V

I watched her as she laughed with her sister and friend, I am glad she was having a nice time.

The party is just to bring her closer to her family cause I could sense she missed them a lot.

" I can see you never get tired of staring at your wife, chill bro no one will take her from you, Loverboy" my partner Jake said, I laughed.

" she's honestly beautiful with a warm smile and beautiful personality" another one added.

" enough with the compliments Andrew, you might just end up in his bad book" Jake teased me.

They all laughed. I turned to look at Bella and found her staring at me, we both turned away sharply.

Bella's P.O.V

I watched him turn away and honestly I was shy cause he caught me staring.

Shy! Come on Bella, don't turn weak. I thought

Just then I saw him approaching us. *Damn*

"Hey Ladies", Lucas said standing behind me, brushing my arm in the process, I felt hot. His touch burnt my skin.

"Hey Lucas"

" Hope I'm not disturbing anything, I would grow Bella for a while," he asked doing his best puppy eyes.

Where does this guy learn this thing I thought.

"No problem Lucas, she's all yours, my sister said.

I followed him as he placed my hands in his, we were going to meet his parents and some family friends.

"Hey Bella, How are you? Mr Williams, Lucas father's friend greeted.

"Hi, Mr William," I greeted.

"Meet my wife Mia and our one-year-old baby."

"Hey, Mrs William." I greeted her.

Don't want to judge but ain't they too old for a baby. I mentally face palmed myself.

Just then the baby reached out for me to carry her which I did.

"When should we be expecting babies from the both of you "Mr William asked.

*i froze*

Lucas P.O.V

I watched as Bella carried the baby, it was obvious she would be a good mum.

" When should we be expecting babies from the both of you," Mr Rashford asked

I looked at Bella, she was flushing. I knew she was suddenly shy.

It now dawned on me that aside from getting married, married people were expected to make babies too.

I immediately excused Bella cause I knew she wasn't comfortable.

"I'm sorry about that" I apologised when we got to the balcony.

"It's nothing Lucas I was just caught off-guard." She said and smiled at me.

"Hope you're enjoying the party?" I asked her

"Yeah" she answered. "What about you?" She asked.

Before I could answer, we heard a noise inside, it sounded like people were fighting inside.

When we got there we saw him, looking all brutal and ready to murder someone.
