More Than A Maid

Peter’s POV

Since our parents knew that Bella and I were back together again, they left us alone to have our nice time while they spent their own nice time in their room.

Bella and I were preparing for the outing, the time we fixed was in the next an hour.

Bella wasn’t aware that I ordered a very beautiful outfit for her and we were expecting it that morning.

Talk of the devil, we heard a knock on the door and the visitor announced that he was the delivery Man.

“Go get it. The order isn’t for me. ” I gestured to Bella.

“I didn’t place any order too. Probably your parents” She replied.

“No, they didn’t” I smiled. “Just go get it” I told her.

She looked at me suspiciously as she walked to the door to meet the delivery Man.

I came closer to watch the scenero.

“Hello, I think you’ve got the wrong address” Bella said to the delivery Man and I chuckled inaudibly.

“No. I’m at the right place. One Miss Bella Daves placed this order” He said.

“What? I’m Bella” She responded, surprised.

“Oh well then, the package is for you. Have it and sign here” The delivery gave to her the boxed package.

She recieved it from him slowly, she was so confused.

“I was the one who ordered it for you” I told her, so she’ll stop being scared and dramatic.

“Really? What’s it?” She exclaimed, now beaming a smile.

“Get it first and sign” I told her.

She did. Then the delivery Man left

“What’s in here?” She asked again, curiously.

I smiled. “It’s right in your hand, open it” I gestured.

She stared at me for a while and smiled.

“Go ahead” I said as I watched her unbox the package.

“It’s a cloth” she exclaimed as she brought out the neatly folded material. “This is a beautiful dress!!” She excalimed louder. “Oh My God” She jumped into my arms. She gave me tight hug and pecked my lips when she disengaged.

“Oh My God. I didn’t expect that. I thought you were shy. And girls always want guys to make that move first” I smiled, blushed.

“Aww whatever. Thank you so much Peter. I love this dress. It’s.. It’s ..” I interrupted her.

“Very pretty? Very much beautiful right..” I completed the sentence for her.

“I want a better word to explain how gorgeous it is. Beautiful, pretty and even gorgeous is an understatement” She replied, admiring the dress over again.

I giggled. ” We’ll go to the boutique together very soon to buy everything you want, I promise” I told her.

“Oh My God. Really?” She exclaimed. And I nodded. The old Bella might have turned down my sweet offers. I thought she wasn’t gonna accept things from me. By the way, I wasn’t trying to show off my wealth. I just wanted to do what boyfriends does. Buy their girlfriends stuffs and make them happy. Now she is.

“Earlier I was finding it a little bit hard to choose what to wear to the ‘Come Together Outing’ but here it is” She bursted.

“I was gonna tell you to wear this. It will definitely gonna look very good on you” I commented.

“Yes! Yes!”

I glared at my wristwatch. “Oops! We only have few minutes. Francis and Vincent will hate me if I delay them. I’m always late whenever we have meetings. Jeez” I said and she laughed.

“Hurry, go dress up!” I told and she nodded and rushed into her room.

_-_-_

She came out few minutes after. I was so speechless.

Bella was looking extremely beautiful and gorgeous on the mini dress, which stopped right on her kneel.. it made her legs look my s*xy.

She had also restyled her hair and applied make up on her face. I almost didn’t recongize her.

“Close your mouth already” She said.

It was then I realized that my jaw had dropped ever since she came out of the room.

“You look so beautiful Bella” I came closer to her. Placed one hand on her waist and I used the other hand to tuck a fallen strand of her hair to the back of her ear.

“Thank you Peter. Sorry I didn’t tell you earlier, you are not looking bad yourself” She replied with a satisfying compliment too.

“We look like the couple we are, don’t we?” I asked as I intertwined my arms with hers.

“Sure, we do” She smiled.

“So, shall we?”

“Yeah, we shall”

I announced to my parents that we were already leaving. Didn’t wait for their response though.

We left the house. Joe was out there, already waiting for us.

* * * * *

Luckily for us, we got to the venue first. Actually, I already booked the restaurant yesterday.

They had already arranged where we were gonna sit. The seats were decorated beautifully. Yeah I already told them that we were having more like a birthday celebration.

A big oval table and six seats around it. We were six actually. Bella and I, Francis, Francisca, Monica and Vincent. And Oh! Vincent, I hope he’ll come and I hope we are cool now. That last time, he walked away after being mad at me was the last time we spoke. Although, yesternight he responded just fine when I invited him for today.

Bella and I sat next to each other, held hand under the table as we expected everyone to be here.

I was gazing and admiring my babe when Francis arrived. He came together with Francisca. As if we’ve planned to come as couple. They both wore a nice matching outfit.

“Bella!”

“Francisca!” The two friends jumped at eachother.

“Omg! You look so stunning!” Francisca exclaimed.

“You look super stunning right now” Bella had said back and giggled.

“I miss you so much Francisca” Bella told her.

“Me too. But you never even called!” She said.

“Uhnn.. sorry Francisca, I had alot of things going on but Thank God it’s all settled and I’m super happy to see you again” They hugged again.

Meanwhile, Francis and I had already a brief handshake and shoulder to shoulder hug. And we were done and seated, we were waiting for the girls; our babes to round up their long pleasantries.

They chuckled when they were done and they found us, staring at them with our arms folded.

“Aww” Bella said as she returned to where she sat while Francisca sat beside her boyfriend.

“All bills on me you know, order anything you want at all. It’s my little birthday celebration and compensation as I won’t be throwing a party at my place nor celebrating anything tomorrow” Peter spoke.

Francis cleared his throat: “Happy birthday to you in advance even if you don’t want us at your place tomorrow and you didn’t even give us a valid reason”

“There’s no valid reason, no big deal, no issue at all. I just wanna be alone with my family” I told them, placing a hand over Bella’s neck. “Humm, let’s call it a break from the elaborate birthday celebrations I have been having annually” They chuckled.

Then I sighted Vincent, standing at the entrance and watching us from there.

“Vincent” I muttered.

“Where is he?”

They all turned to look at him.

And then, he started walking towards us.
