Bella summonds the courage to call James Grayson.
"James Grayson, this is Bella. Tonight I want to invite you to dinner at my home. Are you free?" Bella's eyes are red but she manages to ask.
"Well, I'll manage to find time." James Grayson says in a deep voice.
Bella doesn't say anything and hangs up the phone. She doesn't want to reveal her feelings. The last time when she invited him to dinner is when she wanted to make things clear to him. But this time they still can't go on.
Bella feels angry and helpless. There are some unusual feelings in her body, and she cannot find a way to let that fire out, which is about to burn her.
She tightly holds her cell phone and then throws it on the ground.
Amelia William hears the sound and hurriedly comes out of the room.
Amelia looks at Bella and finds something wrong. She hurriedly moves forward, "Bella, what's the matter? Won't James come here?."
Bella shakes her head and hugs Amelia William. Her voice is trembling, "Promise me that you will always stay happy in the future."
"Okay, I will. Bella, tell me, what's wrong? You are scaring me." Amelia William holds Bella's shoulders and looks into her eyes.
Did James Grayson refuse to come here? She just wants to bear all the pain herself. She knows that if she tells Amelia about all these she will become angry and impulsive.
"Nothing is wrong. I am going out to buy some vegetables. I cannot accompany you here." Bella picks up her mobile phone from the ground and walks towards the door.
Amelia William watches Bella going out. She doesn't know why she feels some loneliness in Bella's attitude she is sure that something big had happened to her.
Bella goes to the supermarket. She remembers that James Grayson cannot eat lobster. She takes a crucian carp, beefsteak, green pepper, eggs, sliced meat, carrot, tofu, and two bottles of red wine.
When she goes to pay the bill, she also takes two boxes of Durex. She pays the money and quickly puts the boxes in the bag.
She comes back home and makes tofu and vegetable soup, fried crucian carp, braised Chinese pork ribs, beef steak with green peppers, carrot slices, and stewed pepper with tomatoes and eggs.
After cooking the meal, she takes a shower and sits at the dinner table.
James Grayson completes all his work as quickly as he can and drives to Bella's home.
He knocks on the door, and Bella opens it.
A strong aroma of cooked meals rushes into his nose, and he feels the feeling of being at home. He smiles and comes in.
As Bella closes the door, he grabs her arm, pulls her in front of him, leans over her and kisses her softly. Bella closes her eyes but doesn't push him away.
She knows that after today, they will become strangers. He will never come back to her. She wants to burn herself with her inner fire. Tonight, she doesn't want to think about right or wrong.
James Grayson feels the hot and humid corners of her mouth and looks at Bella in surprise. "Why are you crying? Have I hurt you?"
She hardly cries until she met him.
For her, tears are just a sign of weakness. She thinks that the tears can only make her enemies more powerful and can make everyone laugh at her. But when she thinks of seperating forever, her tears flow unconsciously and she cannot stop herself from shedding them down.
Bella shakes her head and smiles brightly. "You comes very early."
"But you has prepared the meal." James Grayson wipes her tears and kisses her cheek. He takes her hand and walks towards the dining table.
Bella sits down at the table and pours red wine in two glasses.
James Grayson tastes a piece of Braised Chinese pork ribs.
"How is it?" Bella asks.
"Very delicious." James Grayson praises her and eats another piece.
Bella holds her glass and takes a sip of the red wine and looks at him. When she met him for the first time, she thought he was so lofty, domineering, and arrogant. She doesn't expect that she and he will have such a day.
They are having a good dinner at night just like lovers.
He always forces her to be with him, but she always refuses. But now when she realizes that she cannot be with him, she feels that she is also willing to be with him.
People always miss and cherish the things when they almost lose them!
James Grayson looks at Bella. "Why are you looking at me like this? Why aren't you eating?"
"Because you are so handsome. You have beautiful eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips." Bella says softly.
James Grayson listens to her and smiles. "Fall blindly in love with me?"
Bella takes a sip of red wine and holds it in her mouth for a moment. The wine is bitter and astringent, just like her mood.
She stands up and kisses James Grayson on his lips. James stares at her. Bella looks so different. She is much more responsive than usual.
"You want that?" James Grayson looks at her and asks with his shiny eyes.
"Um." Bella doesn't deny.
James Grayson feels a lot of feelings rush from his brain to his abdomen and beneath. For the first time, she doesn't deny this question..Her answer has destroyed all his sense, forbearance and reserve. All he can see is Bella. All he can think is Bella.
James Grayson pulls her into his arms, presses the back of her head, kisses her lips and puts his tongue into her mouth. Bella puts her arms around his neck and kisses him.
They can feel each other's breath.
For Bella, James Grayson is like the sun, and makes her cold skin feel his warmth. She longs for his sunshine to dispel the cold in her heart.
But she is also worried that if she gets too close to him, she will get burn.
Kiss lasts for a long time, Bella wants to save his aroma forever. She softly sucks his lips and unbuttons his shirt with trembling fingers.
James Grayson picks her up. "Which one is your room?"
"The leaves one. Don't you want to take a bath first?" Bella asks and flushes.
"Together?" James Grayson asks and his voice becomes hoarse.
"I have took a shower. You take now. I puts a bath towel in the bathroom. I have washed it after usingt, so it's clean." Bella says softly.
James Grayson raises the corner of his mouth and puts her on the bed. "I can use what you have used. I don't dislike you."
He goes into the bathroom.
Bella hears the sound of water, and her heartbeat becomes faster.
Bella takes deep breaths. She draws the curtain down, puts the condoms on the table and thinks about a moment. Then she takes off her clothes and puts them on the side table, and getsinto the quilt.
She feels really nervous. She is twenty-four years old, the most sensitive period of a woman's age. But for the last three years, she never does this, her husband is busy cheating on her for lots of times.
She constantly persuades herself that she shouldn't feel guilty or embarrassed.
She thinks that she would die with the manaces of David Wilson, but before that, she wants to live for a day. If she dies without even living for a day, she will not die in peace.
After these thoughts, her calms down a lot.
James Grayson comes out of the bathroom with a bath towel around his waist, revealing his strong abdominal muscles. He comes towards Bella.
Bella dares not to look up at him and buries her face in the quilt.
James Grayson sits beside the bed, pulls the quilt slowly and looks at her face. "Bella, do you really want to do this? If once you give yourself to me, I won't let you step back?" James Grayson asks and looks into her eyes.
