An Italian’s Escort Lover

Niccolo Point of View

“Nick, please stop. F**king stop acting like a foolish.” I heard a familiar voice first pleading me and then yelling at me.

I’m too tired to open my eyes and look at the person speaking to me. My eyes feel heavy and so does my body. But do I care?

No!

I don’t care who is it and why he is speaking to me in such rude tone.

“Nick, Nick you need to get back into your senses.” I heard the familiar voice say to me in urgency but why don’t people understand that I am not interested.

I don’t care what they say. Preachers can say whatever they like because they don’t understand the pain I am in right now. He cannot understand me and my situation.

Gathering up final thread of my energy, I opened my eyes slowly and closed away when light hit sharp on my vision. Groaning, I again tried to open my eyes but the surroundings were just blurry. I can see my friend’s figure but I couldn’t see it clearly.

“She took them with her, Vald.” I slurred in melancholy. “My Bella, she took all my senses away with her.” I said trying look at his clear picture.

I stretched out my hand and felt a heavy bottle of magic liquid. Immediately I took a huge gulp from the bottle directly and groaned when the expected bitter taste didn’t hit.

“Stop drinking, you f**king fool. You cannot just go about and drink like you are planning to kill yourself.” I heard him scold me and pull the bottle from my hands.

Planning to kill myself?

Nah, I will not die before see my Bella for one last time. Though I’m dying every second internally, I will not let death approach me before I could see her beautiful smile for once more.

That was worth my death; looking at the beautiful smile and eyes brightened with love.

“She doesn’t like it – when I drink too much. I’m w-waiting for my Bella to –” I coughed out feeling a restrained feeling in my throat. “- I am waiting for her to come, snatch away the alcohol and scold me for being careless.” I smiled to myself when my beautiful Bella came to me with a scowl and looked at me like a mother who caught her son doing something mischievous.

I laughed looking at my Bella and laughed again to see her in jumpsuit she likes so much. “There – Vald, there she is, My Bella.” I announced and stretched my hand to feel her touch and know that she is for real.

“Nick – ” I heard him say but I cut him off with a loud grunt. “Ssh, stop talking or else she will leave.” I reprimanded harshly before turning my head to my beautiful Bella and smiled at her affectionately.

“Bella, come here to me.” I stretched both my arms to envelop her close to my chest and never let her go. “I knew you would come, Bella. Come to me please. I want to feel you.” I hiccupped but still smiled at her furious looking face. Vald was shaking my shoulder speaking to me some gibberish but I can only hear the soft breathing of her.

“Vald was telling me that you went away from me and would never come back. Rick told me the same, Bella. But I told them that my Bella would come back to me because she loves me so much and she knows I love her a lot too.” I grinned and tried to get the blurry vision clear. I want to look at my Bella clearly. I want to see her that she is here for me in blood and flesh.

My Bella…

“Nick, please –” I heard Vald choke his words but I don’t care. Bella is in front of me, just meters away from me and I cannot waste my time on him. “She’s not here, Nick. Goodness, what happened to you, my friend. What has gotten you like this?” He shook my shoulders again.

I didn’t look back at him because my whole attention was to my Bella only. What if I take my eyes off her and she leaves me again.

No, Never. She I will not let her out of my grasp again.

“Are you blind? She is just here in front of us, Vald. You – you get out, I want to spend some alone time with my Bella.” I scolded him gruffly and smiled softly at my Bella.

“Why are you still standing there, Bella. Come here, chocolate. I – I punched Leo for humiliating you and talking rudely with you. I punched him hard. Now no one will ever say a word against you.” I stopped assuring her when fresh tears started rolling down cheeks. “I missed you so much, Bella. Please come close to me.” I pleaded.

Bella did not move from her place and kept looking at me. I must’ve angered her a lot by drinking so much. She already told me once that drinking more than few glasses can be unhealthy for me but I did wrong by not listening to her.

“Vald, my friend, can you please – ” I gasped for air to enter my lungs. It has been difficult to breathe these days. “- throw away alcohol bottles from this room. Bella doesn’t –” I gasped for air again “- like when I drink. Take them away. Look, she is displeased with me. Take them away, amigo. I will explain why I drank so much to my Bella. She will listen to me and will console me for getting hurt. She always does that. Whenever I’m hurt, she hugs my head to her heart and comforts me.” I chuckled when I remembered her doing it to me several times.

She is great at comforting me. Hell, what is she not good at? She is just so perfect that sometimes I think I’m not worth her.

I heard Vald curse loudly to which I scowled at him. Bella doesn’t like to curse. She has always been cursed at without her damn mistake. How dare he curse in front of her?

“Stop cursing Vald, Bella get sad when someone curses.” I gritted.

I expected him to get away from me and from this room but I felt a sting of pain on my jaw. He has his hand fisted and eyes looking raw with anger and vulnerability.

I fell down to my side and hissed in pain when his fist touched my jaw again. “SHE IS NOT HERE, NICCOLO. SHE ISN’T. IT IS BETTER TO GET BACK TO YOU SENSES AND GO ON ABOUT WITH YOUR LIFE.” I heard him yell at me but guess what Amigo, I don’t care.

You are wrong, she is here for me. I looked at the spot where Bella was but found her not there anymore. Hurriedly, I tried to stand up and looked around my room only to find Vald and several bottles of beer and Whiskey tumbled on the floor.

No, No. she was just here. Where did she go now?

No, she came to be back but Vald, that bastard had sent her away from me. I will not let him go with this. I will kill him.

“You bastard, where is my Bella. She was just here. Where did you send her?” I stumbled on my foot and fell down on the floor with a harsh thud. My eyes got blurry again and I felt giddy. I felt as if the ground beneath me is shaking and slipping down my feet.

My hands scattered around the floor to find something to get me steady. My hands could only touch the empty bottles of whisky I had, god knows when. Rubbing my eyes to clear my vision, I found a rectangular frame with a photograph of Bella with me on the horse.

Bella…

My Bella… there you are.

“There you are chocolate. I was searching for you from such a long time. I missed you so much.” I cried hugging the photo frame and immediately was enveloped by the warmth of my chocolate.

Finally, I can feel her a little.

I’m feeling faint and dim and the world around me is spinning but I hugged Bella tightly so she doesn’t leave me again. The photo frame is the only one I can feel the warmth from. Her eyes brightened with love for me in the picture and loved it so much.

“Nick –” I heard the faint voice coming somewhere around from me but my head is already muffled and hazy to open my eyes and look for the source.

Now I can sleep after looking at her picture…

Before slipping into cold darkness again, I heard a loud irritating voice yell at someone, “I don’t care what and how you will do it, Parker but I want Phoebe Smith to be found as immediately as possible. If I find my friend dead before you get me her details, I will kill you ruthlessly and painfully, Parker. Heed my warning.”

Phoebe Smith?

That’s my Bella’s name.

My Chocolate… come to me back. I cannot even breathe properly without you. I need you, Bella.

I love you…

Come – come back, Bella.
