7 Chapter 07

~ Belle's P.O.V ~

Then come Monday morning.

Huh? Who's arm is this? I looked up and saw Rex was sleeping. Beside me!!! I nearly scream but I didn't want to wake him up. He was sleeping so peacefully. Now that I realized he's actually so gorgeous. I mean not those normal gorgeous but REALLY gorgeous, extremely gorgeous and handsome. He has long eyelashes and beautiful eyes. I touched his lips, it's soft. Oh my God! What have I just done? I shouldn't have done that. I quickly jumped out from the bed but Rex grabbed my hand.

"Belle... Don't go..." He whispered. I turned my head around and found out he was actually sleep-talking. I feel like laughing. Wait! Was that a tattoo on his chest? I tried to removed another button of his shirt to see it more clearly.

"Huh? Why?"

"Because last time, master....."

"What? What happened to Rex?" I asked. She beckoned me to follow her after that.

"Master had a lover before. That girl was really kind and master loved her very much." Suddenly, I felt the pains deep down my heart. I didn't know why but I had a feeling that I was jealous. Really jealous. "Master used to be the gang-leader of a really strong gang. Other gangsters don't dared to offend him but Master had many enemies around him. One day, the enemy kidnapped Master's lover, she was killed. Master said 'I failed to save the one I truly love, I don't think I had the right to love any other girl now.' Master actually cried. He was so depressed and he didn't have any appetite to eat. Few weeks later, he came back with the tattoo on his chest. He said the tattoo represents the girl he truly love and will never forget her."

"So that Rex's past?"

"Ya."

"How do you know about it?"

"Master and I used to be good friend."

"Oh... No wonder... I'm Belle, by the way." I smiled.

"I'm Yareli." She returned the same smile.

"Hey Yareli! I need your help here!" Another maid called out for her.

"Oh ok! Coming!" She shouted. "Belle, please help yourself ok? She smiled.

"Oh ok, no problem." I took a bite of the cookies. "Wow, delicious! I whispered.

... ... ... ...

~ Rex's P.O.V ~

Mmmm..." I yawned and opened my eyes. Belle wasn't beside me anymore.

"Belle..? Belle..?!" I opened the door and she was right infront of me. I sighed with relief.

"Yes?" She stared at me.

"N.. Nothing.." I smiled.

"Hey! I really love the cookies! Its really delicious!" She smiled to me. She sounded like a child who loves cookies a lot. She peeped at her watch. "Oh shit! We're gonna be late for school! And I don't any extra clothes!"

"Kacy!" He called out for another maid. "Please bring Kalyn's clothes here."

"Master... But..."

"Just bring it..."

... ... ... ...

~ Belle's P.O.V ~

I wondered who's Kalyn. Is she... Rex'd lover? I stared at him.

"What?"

"Rex... Is it ok... I don't feel ok now... I will just go back first. Bye." I walked out of the room and ran out of the house.

"Hey Belle! What happened? Rex grabbed my hand.

"It's nothing. I just don't feel well now." I shoved his hand away and took a cab. I don't know why my tears were streaming down my face.

"Why am I crying? I whispered and wiped away my tears.

... ... ... ...

I stepped into April's apartment and found out she was not around. I quickly change into a jeans pant and a Polo T-shirt. Suddenly, Rex's letter fall of from my bag.

['To l, Belle..

Hey Belle. Since the first day I saw you, I knew you're the one for me. I couldn't stop thinking about you for the whole night. I wish you were in my arms now. Its like I want to protect you so badly. The great love that I have for you grows everyday. Please be my girl. Please trust me that I really care for you, forever and ever.

Love From Rex.']

"Rex, you love me because you wanted to protect me. This wasn't love. I know the one you truly love is your previous lover. And I will definitely support you." I whispered. I placed the letter on the table and took a cab to school.

... ... ... ...

Oh my god! I am glad I wasn't late at all! I still have fifteen minutes! Phew..!!!

"Wow! Look at that!" I heard someone shouted behind me. I turned my head around to see what's happening. Its Rex. He's driving a silver Lamborghini Gallardo to school. Oh no! He's walking to me. Shit shit shit! What should I do? Run? Yes Run! I quickly run away.

"Belle! Hey Belle! Stop!" He's chasing after me. Shit shit shit!!!

"Stop following me!!! I ran into my clasd and sat down at my desk. I used my book to cover my face so he won't notice me.

Suddenly, someone snatched the book away and throw it on the floor.

"What do you think you're doing? Why are you running away from me when I'm trying to talk to you?" He talked while gasping for air. He looked really furious right now.

"I..." I floundered. "Haha! I wasn't running away from you! I was late for my class." He looked at me and looked at the clock which was hanging on the wall at the back of the class.

"You have fifteen minutes and you thought you'll be late for your class? He glared at me. I realized everyone ran outside because they were so scared of Rex.

"You know what? Actually....." I stood up. I was ready to run away. "You're right!" I quickly ran out of the classroom again.

"Stop right there, Belle!" He was still chasing after me.

"Rex! Stop chasing after me!"

"Ok, I will but stop running!" He yelled.

"No!"

"Stop!"

"No!"

"MaryBelle! I said STOP! You better stop before I get really angry!" I immediately stopped. He walked towards me and look at me. I wasn't looking at him though. He grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

"Wait! Where are you bringing me to?" He brought me to the back door and pushed me towards the wall softly so that I won't get hurt.

"Answer me. WHY are you running away from me?" He put his hands beside my head, against the wall so that I got nowhere to run.

"I..." I choked. "I wasn't running away from you."

"Oh.... Really?" He looked angrier than before.

"Ok ok... I'll tell you. I'll you..." I looked at his beautiful eyes. "I can't tell. I seriously can't tell you! Don't force me to, please?"

"I just wanna know why are you running away from me." His furious look faded away and he looked depressed.

"Ok. I'll just tell you... One of your maid told me about your past and the...." I pointed at his chest." The tattoo on your chest." I looked away.

"Just that?" He asked.

"Ya.." I nodded.

"So, you're jealous huh?" He giggled.

"What? I am not jealous!" I shoved his hand away and walked away.

"Hey Belle. Wait." He pulled me to his arms and kissed me on my lips. I raised my eyebrows in surprised! I quickly pushed him away.

"What..... What are you doing?" I wiped my lips with my hand. I couldn't believe I was actually blushing.

"Just admit you like me."

"I don't!" I yelled.

"Then, I will make you." He gave me an evil smiled.

"You're mean!" I ran away after that.

... ... ... ...

"Hey Belle! You're back! Are you fine now?"

"Yes April. I missed you so much these three days!" I gave her a hug.

"I missed you too! Rex really took good care of you, huh?"

"Ya.." I smiled.

"Ok, class. Please be sitted on your seats. I have an announcements. There's someone in our school who wants to transfer to our class. Rex, come in." Rex walked into our class and smiled at me.

"Oh my gosh! What is he doing here? How can he transfer classes so easily?" I whispered.

"Well, you don't know? He donated lots of money to our school. Of course, the school let him do whatever he wants." April answered.

"Hi, I am Rex." I could feel the excitement in our class because of the girls. Oh god!

"Rafe, can I sit beside Belle?" Rex glared.

"Oh... Oh ok! Sure! It's all yours." He sat beside me and gave me the same evil smile again.

"Oh god! My nightmare has just begun." I whispered.
