‘Beautiful Bella. I would love nothing more than to come inside with you right now. I would love nothing more than to take you to bed. I am not sure I could control myself though. I want you too much.’
‘Then don’t control yourself’. The words fall out of my mouth before I had a chance to think. They came from my heart. Now I sound like an eager beaver.
‘No Bella. Not yet. Soon, very soon.’ With that he kissed me and pushed the front door open and gently pushed me inside.
‘Goodnight beautiful Bella.’
‘Goodnight’. I can’t hide the sulkiness in my voice, and close the door before I totally embarrass myself and beg.
As I walk upstairs into my room Ash, who I think is asleep runs into my room with a sleepy grin on her face.
‘I want all the details. In fact I demand them!’
I laugh and show her the picture of us up the Eiffel tower and she did exactly what I have wanted to do all night. She jumps up and down squealing, with her squiffy bed hair and her onsie on..... which I have only just noticed.
‘Ash, you have a friggin onsie on. Are you making a fashion statement? ‘Tears are rolling down my face, as its taken me a few minutes to realise Ash in her onsie. Its got bears all over it and pom poms.
She joins in with my laughter and announces
‘Well, Bells.... I bought you one to! I thought we could have matching jim jams and what the hell they might as well be a onsie. Its all the rage’.
‘Only in your head! Thanks for the urmmmm unusual gift’
We fall about laughing. Then I fill her in on all the details.
‘Oh Bells.... he is so in love with you.’
‘Get out of it!’
‘Okay... how many of our mates have been flown to Paris on a private jet for tea? He has basically told you anyway. And... I think its sweet that he doesn’t want to pounce on you yet’
‘What if he’s not attracted to me’
‘Simple.... there is no way he is not attracted to you. Stop analysing it.’
‘Well do you think for my first night of passion with Robert I should wear my new onsie then?’
At this she squeezes her legs together in fits of laughter and announces
‘Ohhhhh I need a wee. Gonna wee myself laughing otherwise. Love you... night’
‘Love you to. Night.’
With that she quickly kisses me on my cheek and runs off to the loo. My phone vibrates and it’s an email on my blackberry from Robert.

I lie on my bed giggling to myself. I’m not sure what battle I think I have won, but I feel like I have won some kind of battle. About time I showed him that I won’t be told what to do. I feel somewhat empowered now. With that I go to the bathroom and have a quick shower and take my makeup off. Instead of putting on Ash’s odd gift of a onsie on, I opt for my nightie. Its warm tonight, or maybe I am just flustered. Who knows....then I heard the doorbell. No..... no way can it be him. But who else would come here at this time?
CHAPTER 10
I run downstairs and open the door and he is leaning in the doorway.
‘Robert!’
‘Bella. I did say don’t test me.’ He pushed me back and against the wall and pressed his body against mine. Kissing me passionately, I wrapped my arms around him.
‘I have to say Robert, maybe I should test you more’
He shook his head slowly and muttered ‘What are you doing to me Bella Stone’
‘I haven’t even started yet Robert’ My inner goddess is swinging her feather boah around at this.
‘Bella, you shouldn’t open the door before checking who it is.You should put the chain on or look through the peep hole.’
‘I haven’t got a chain or a peep hole’
‘I will have to see to that. You must stay safe Bella.’ with that he has his hands in mine and has me pinned to the wall. His mouth moves down my neck and I arc my neck so there is more for him to devour. I can feel his erection through his trousers. We are getting to the point of no return, when he steps back letting go of my hands and placing them above and either side of me on the wall. He takes two deep breaths and slaps the wall.
‘Shit. Bella, I can’t, I’m running late as it is.’
‘Running late for what?’ I can’t hide the annoyance in my voice.
‘I have 15 minutes to get to the airport. I have to fly out somewhere for business. What I have planned for you will take alot longer than 15 minutes.’
Its my turn to take a deep breath.
‘Well, you better go then Robert.’
‘I’m sorry Bella’ he departs again with a kiss.
I skulk and go off to bed, and fall asleep relatively quickly considering.........
When I got home I notice that there is a chain on our door as well as a peep hole and several bolts. On looking at it, its actually a brand new door. I look at Ash and she gasps....
‘Well a guy came round with a door. Said that Robert had sent him, and this door was more secure.’
‘It sure looks secure, how strange’
I explained about Robert returning, and how he wasn’t happy that I opened the door so quickly.
‘Oh Bells. He is so thoughtful and obviously worried about your safety’.
‘Yeah your probably right, I’m probably reading too much into it. Its a sweet and thoughtful thing for him to do’

Subject: Fort Knox
Hi Robert.
How has your business trip gone? I just wanted to say thank you for the new door that has now made my home into Fort Knox. A tad extreme, but I appreciate your concern.

To: Bella Stone
From: Robert Costa
Subject: Concern
Bella, concern doesn’t even come close to it. Your safety is my primary concern and I do not want you opening the door before looking through the peephole and keeping the door on the chain to check. Make sure Ash does the same. My business trip has not gone according to plan. But that shall be resolved very shortly, and I can’t wait to come back to you.

Subject: Peep holes
Robert, I have never in my life checked through the peephole before opening the door. You worry too much.
I am sorry that your business trip has not gone very well so far but I am sure you will fix that. When do you think you will be back?
Bella x

To: Bella Stone
From: Robert Costa
Subject: DO AS YOUR TOLD
You must start doing that. Just humour me, ok! If you don’t know who is at the door then don’t open it. Two women on their own should be more wary.
As for the business trip, your right..... I will fix that and I am eager to do so, so I can be back with you. I am not sure when I will be back, but I am hoping for it to be by the end of the week.
Robert x
------------------------------------------------
End of the week! I was hoping he was going to say earlier than that. Well... looks like I am going to have to entertain myself until then. It will probably do me good to have a few days away from him. Get some rest and try and get my head around him. I also need to meet up for dinner with one of my friends.
*Hiya Smythe, you up for dinner tomorrow night? Have a catch up?x*
*Hi Stone. Dinner tomorrow night sounds super. Lets meet at Romanas at 6:30pm x*
*Super, see you then x*

Will get you nowhere Mister! But I will try and get in the habit just to please you. I hope you fix everything soon so you can be back here... soon. I have just organised dinner with a friend tomorrow night. I forgot to tell you..... as we were a little distracted last night. Ash came in my room last night before you turned up for the second time. She was dressed in a onsie with bears on it, and she has bought me a matching one! haha (If your not sure what it is then google it.)

Subject: Distracted again....a onsie?
Oh dear I googled it...... they are different! I hope your going to model it for me? Who is this friend you are going out with? Where are you going?
Robert x
p.s has your onsie got bears on it to?
p.p.s I am not shouting..... well I was a bit. I just want you to be careful.

Subject: Modelling a onsie
Careful Robert, or I will buy you one as well ! I am meeting Sarah, been friends for years. We are going to an Italian in town.
Bella x
p.s your onsie will have bears on it too
p.p.s I will be careful. Stop worrying.
p.p.p.s I am off for a shower. Speak later x
--------------------------------------------
He makes me giggle. I skip off to the shower and have to admit to myself that I quite like him being jealous and wondering where I am off to. It will keep him on his toes to know that I am not sitting in waiting for him.
