Her Volkovs #Book 3 novel Chapter 14

Belle's POV

"What?" I asked all weirded out by how she looks at me. She's combing my hair sporting a poker face, not saying a single word. "What's going on A?"

"I think I should be the one asking you that question." She finally responded.

"Will you please just go straight to the point."

"Okay. What's going on between you and Artan?"

"What do you mean? There's nothing going on." I replied, as a matter of factly.

"Yah? So why is the Albanian Mob Boss acting like he's your boyfriend now? You know, being territorial, kissing you, holding you like there's no tomorrow?"

"The man got shot because of me. I can't just fight him off, especially when he's still injured."

"Uhuh..." She replied with raised eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes on her and pulled the comb from her hand abruptly. "I'll do it myself. If you're tired of me, why don't you leave me alone A!"

My bestfriend gasped and made an O shape with her mouth in surprise. "Preger hormones making you a bad bitch now B?"

"I'm sorry." I tapped the space on my chair gesturing my bestfriend to sit beside me. I wrapped my arm around her to hug her tight. "I'm sorry A."

Amy hugged me back and removed herself from the embrace. She then palmed my face and inched closer to me.

"I just want you to guard your heart this time. Maybe youre just confused considering your raging pregnant hormones. Maybe youre just seeing Nikolai in Artan. Or perhaps the real reason why youre letting Artan in, is because youre blaming yourself for what's happened. Whatever it is, just make sure you are doing it for the right reason."

"A, youre overthinking again. I'm okay. Don't worry about me. As for falling in love, I don't think that my heart is ready for it."

"Because you're still in love with the Ultra Boss and Extra Boss." She said while running her fingers through my hair.

I blinked a couple of times to prevent myself from tearing up. Yes I'm still madly in love with Nikolai and Alexei despite the countless heartaches they have caused me. I still love them with all my body, heart, and soul and no one can ever replace them. Ever.

"The Extra Boss went to the house last night. He said he came to fetch you. Gosh B, you should have seen his face when I said that youre with Artan last night."

At this point, I don't get surprised of Nikolai and Alexei's temper anymore. Somehow I have accepted the fact that those two have their own intense way of dealing with situations.

"Let's not talk about them A."

"Okay." She replied while placing a few strands of my hair to the back. "You look amazing in this dress B. I think I'm having a girl boner."

I just giggled at her naughtiness. She then leaned forward, tilted her head a little bit and kissed me on my lips. Her tongue glided inside my mouth while her hand is palming the back of my ear.

Removing myself from the kiss, I asked with a smile on my face, "What was that?"

"What? I thought we're making out." She responded with her devilish look.

"Yah I know. But that was too sexy." I answered.

"It's supposed to be sexy." She said leaning forward and inching her lips to mine once again.

"Is it weird if I'm having a girl boner too?"

"Yes it's weird. You two bestfriends are weird. Now cut it out."

Dylan butts in. He is wearing a perfectly tailored black suit, shiny and kinda pointy shoes and his hair is perfectly gelled to the back, he undeniably looks dashing.

"Dy, you look handsome."

"Thank you Belle. I get that a lot." Dylan answered all too arrogantly. His lips are pulled to the side while approaching our direction, walking like a super hot model, that he really was.

"Ewwww." Amy butts in.

Dylan instantly shakes his hand on top of my bestfriend's head effectively ruining A's hair do.

"Hey!!!! Stop big brother! Youre ruining my chance of finding true love tonight!"

Amy is pushing her brother's hand away from her hair but Dylan doesnt seem to care.

"I told you many times that you are not gonna find true love in the mob Ames. Go date Jose, I think he will be good for you. I'm not really sure if youre good for him though. Urgh... that poor guy."

"The neighbour's gardener? Really brother? I sometimes think having a big brother like you is more of a liability than an asset."

The siblings continued with their banter while I just look at them with warmth in my heart. These two have become my family during the darkest days of my life. They never left my side and they have always been there for me whenever I need them.

"I love you both." I blurted out.

They went silent and looked at me, obviously not expecting my emotional state. Gosh...what is happening to me? It's like I'm becoming so emotional and melodramatic as the day passes. If this is a normal part of my pregnancy, I'm starting not to like it already. It's like I'm not in control of my own emotion.

"Awww, B. Come here."

The two held me in a tight embrace until I felt better.

"Are you two ready? The Boss is waiting." Dylan said.

"Yes let's go. I'm soooooo excited! Ah!" Said Amy, acting like a crazy woman. Well she's crazy already. Nobody's arguing wih that.

"Uh, one last thing A."
