Chapter 18
Belle's POV
After moments of awkward silence. "Nikolai was fine with this?"
I just nodded at Amy.
"Oh my gosh B, I think you're giving me a heart attack." Amy is slapping her chest.
She then shakes her head. "I knew it. I just had this weird feeling. I knew it. I knew it. I just ignored it." Amy said as if she's talking to herself.
"I have failed as your bestfriend. I should have seen this one coming."
"A! Look at me!!" I grabbed Amy's arms and shakes her. I think she's having a panic attack.
"A!" I'm trying to get her attention but she just looks at the floor gazing blankly.
"A! Breathe! Look at me." I then held her cheeks to face me.
"Inhale...Exhale..Inhale... Exhale...That's it. Inhale..Exhale.."
Nikolai, Alexei, and Yuri appeared from the study, while Boris and I.V stood around us.
"No stay away from us. Give us some space please. She just needs to breathe."
Slowly, the circulation of blood on Amy's face went back to normal.
"B, so Nikolai and Alexei are sharing you? Is that it?" Amy doesn't know that my Nikolai and Alexei are on the back and can perfectly hear her.
I then glanced at my future husband and Alexei. The other boys are just standing and looking down the floor when they heard what Amy asked me.
"Yes A."
Amy then quickly hugged me. I then signaled the boys including Nikolai and Alexei to shoo away.
"Are they taking care of you B?"
"Yes A, too much, borderline crazy."
Amy chuckles while still hugging me tight.
"Really? How crazy?"
"Ten times Amy crazy."
"Hmm that's indeed crazy." I chuckled.
"How big are the two?"
"What?"
Amy giggled. I on the other hand felt relieved. She seemed to go back to her usual self.
"A!!"
"What? That's a perfectly valid question."
Amy lets go from my embrace, cups my face and lands a swift kiss on my lips.
THE CHARITY GALA AND AUCTION
"Teacher Belle! Teacher Belle, my tail, it's crooked." Said Justin, one of my kids while pulling my fairy costume.
"Let me see?" I bent over and adjusted the rear of his grasshopper costume. "There." He then looks at it while turning around like a dog that is trying to catch his tail. "Hey buddy, stop turning around." I then carried him and made him sit on a chair right next to the other boys. "Don't move until teacher calls you okay?" He just nods.
The three other boys are surprisingly calm. Dawson is just sitting and biting the legs of his grasshopper costume. Sylvester is just sitting like a statue and staring blankly. And Frankie is drawing something on Sylvester's costume.
"Frankie, hand me the pen please?" He just lets out the sweetest smile to me. My heart just instantly melts. Oh god, I just hope that they behave like this during our presentation.
My three little girls are being handled by my bestfriend. She's making finishing touches to their ladybug costumes. They are playing with the glitters Amy brought.
"Thank you so much A!" I said while hugging her from the back. "What do you want? Prada? Chanel?"
"Do I look like you can just pay me off B?"
"Yes." I answered her teasingly. She just lets out a smile.
"You're spoiling me B!"
"I am. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing. Hahahaha." She laughs like a crazy hyena. The kids look at her in awe. To my surprise, my kids laugh out imitating Amy.
"What's going on here?" It's Dylan. He's wearing a tuxedo, his hair is brushed to the back and he looks dangerously handsome as always.
I quickly went in his direction and hugged him tight.
"Dy! I miss you so much!" Dylan places his hands on the small of my back.
"Belle, your costume suits you." Dylan said while inspecting my white and purple glittery gown which reaches the floor a few more feet when I walk. He then touched my gem-studded headdress that looks like a crown with strands of silver and pearl falling down my hair.
"I know.." I let out a smile at him. His beautiful brown eyes are looking at me while he touches my face with the back of his hand.
"You called the other day. I'm so sorry about Alexei."
"It's okay Belle. I just called because I want to hear your voice. I just miss you."
"You have no idea how much I miss you as well Dy."
"Awww the two of you look soo cute." Said Amy. She then went in our direction and shows us the picture she took. Dylan just lets out a smile.
"Ames told me about Alexei and the Mafia Boss."
I shot a glare in Amy's direction. She quickly looks away and went to my girls. I think I'm turning crimson already as Dylan looks at me expecting my reaction.
"I was right from the beginning, You and Alexei."
"Dy, can we talk about this some other time?"
Dylan lets out a sigh of defeat.
"Okay. Do you need any help?"
"Actually yes, can you watch over the boys for me? I'll be back in a sec."
"Sure."
I then held his hand and introduced him to the boys. I bent over to catch the attention of the four.
"Boys this is Dylan, he's my friend. What do we do if we are introduced to a friend?"
Justin raised his hand enthusiastically.
"Yes Justin?"
"We say hi!"
"Yes, we say hi." I said.
"Hmp! I dont want to!" Said Sylvester. Among the four boys, Sylvester has always been the moody and stubborn one. He is also a very talented kid. He paints very well, in fact, one of his paintings will be auctioned off later.
"Sylvester?"
"He's your boyfriend." Said Sylvester while crossing his arms in front of him and puckering his lips. "Teacher Belle has a boyfriend. Teacher Belle has a boyfriend." Said Dawson while pointing at Dylan. "Let me handle this. Go do your thing." Said Dylan, backing me up.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, my grasshopper buddies here are going to have a man to man talk." Said Dylan winking at me.
"Thanks, Dy!" I kissed him on his cheek. I quickly regretted it because the four boys gasped like they saw a ghost.
I just shook my head and exited backstage.
I then looked for my Nikolai and Alexei among the many guests. Wow, I never thought St. Mary's has this many benefactors. The hall is decorated elegantly. There are round tables in front of the stage. There are small candles and flowers in the middle of the round tables. I then saw my future husband and Alexei right next to the round table in the middle part of the hall. They are standing while holding a glass of liquor in their hands. Yuri, Boris and I.V are surrounding their Bosses. They are both wearing a tuxedo and looking all godlike as always. I suddenly feel so complete by just seeing them both. The men who own my heart, body and soul. My Nikolai and My Alexei.
When they saw me approach their direction my future husband and my Alexei instantly had smiles on their faces. I hugged them both at the same time while squeezing myself in the middle. "Hello fairy godmother." Said Alexei teasingly.
"Don't you like it?"
"I love it princess, in fact we want to drag you out of this place, bring you to the woods and fuck you there."
Nikolai just lets out a chuckle.
"Alexei, behave! Nikolai baby, can you please control Alexei here even just for this night?"
"But, I want to fuck you in the woods baby." Said Nikolai.
I just shook my head. Nikolai then plants a kiss on my lips. His beautiful green eyes are looking at me intensely. Nikolai then pushed me towards Alexei. My Alexei then points my chin to him and kisses me on my lips as well. Geeez. I know my face is already blood red. These two doesn't have any qualms in showing their affection even in public.
"I'll go backstage, my kids are waiting for me. I expect your best behaviour tonight boys."
When I turned around, I feel like my heart is going out of my chest when I saw Artan, Aria, Dardan, and two other men approach our direction. Oh my god!
Artan is holding Aria's right hand. Artan and his men are all wearing tuxedos. Artan has a smirk plastered on his face as he approaches us. Aria is wearing a blue tutu dress. Her long curly hair is half brushed up and tied with a pink ribbon.
The moment Aria saw me, her eyes widened and quickly ran towards me. She then wraps her arms around my waist while looking up and smiling. My heart instantly melted.
