🌀🌀LINCOLN POV

Surprised wasn’t enough to express how I felt when i saw her. I was stunned!!

The white top and yellow skirt she wore were now dusty and her hair looks so messy and muddy same with her cloth.

She had a little mark on her cheek though there wasn’t any wound but a bloodstain was there making me wonder how the blood arrived there.

“Belle??”.I called when I finally found my voice,I couldn’t believe I was staring at her.

I couldn’t believe she came back…safe and sound. But how? What happened? How did she escape??

“Nice guy…please let me in…it’s da..rk outside”.She said with her usual soft tone as she gently took her eyes to the floor as always.

“Come in,side,yeah come in”.I ushered her in,cleaning my w-t cheeks with my fingers. I hope she didn’t notice the tears, I really don’t want her to know I cried for her.

“Thanks”.She smiled and sat on a sofa,taking in a deep breath.

She looked tired and famished.That made me realize they was no food at home for us especially her to eat.

I watched her for some minutes,checking if there were any wounds in her body but I didn’t find anything. It didn’t look like if she was beaten,there were no red marks on her skin.

“You should go bath and wash your hair Belle, I will make dinner immediately”.I said and she smiled,rubbing her l-ips to remove the mud on it.

“Thanks”.She said lowly and walked to the guest room.

I sighed as I watched her go.I was confused.

How did she escape from the T boys? How is that even possible??

I sighed again more heavily and watched to the kitchen,I made coffee and added some milk and cream in it before walking back to the living room.

I switched on the TV and began watching a movie from my favorite channel but I wasn’t concentrating on it.I was lost in thought, I was thinking of Belle.

Soon,Belle joined me in the living room.She sat besides me on the same sofa and I smiled a bit seeing the water that dropped from her hair to her neck. Her hair was w-t and i loves the way it shines, i haven’t seen her hair w-t before and now that is w-t it looks longer in a strange way.

“So,can you tell me how you escaped?”.I asked,in a soft and silent voice but she kind of look confused.

“Escaped? How??”.She asked,in a way that made me frowned.

“Escaped from the boys that kidnapped you,Belle.How did you escaped from them?”.I asked,trying not to rise my voice as I took a sip of my coffee.

“Oh! They were asleep and I took that opportunity to run”.She said and I nodded,taking more sips of the coffee.

“Those bastards….how did you meet them? Why didn’t you scre-m when they tried to kidnapped you?”.There was anger in my voice as I spoke and it was taking me all my might not to slam the glassy table in front of me.

Darn it! I should perhaps take more of the coffee,it may help to calm me down.

“Trust me,i did but not until one of them told me you were in danger and they needed my help”.She said,grabbing her cup of coffee and taking all of it into her mouth in one gulp.

“They needed your help,why? Besides,I wasn’t in danger,they lied to you”.I said,feeling like hitting the T boys and the memory of me beating Tripp made me beam.

“Unfortunately, I believed them and we all headed back to the restaurant you walked in.They told me you had an accident and that you were in a hospital so we took a different route which was unfamiliar to me.Before I knew it,I was blindfolded and tied,then i was taken to a building but luckily,I escaped”.She said,a small frown on her face and I scoffed.

Sons of bitches!!

“It’s okay,Belle”.I said and she sniffed.

“I was so scared,I thought you really had an accident,I couldn’t stop myself from following them. Am sorry I put you through so much,I know you must had searched for me.Am sorry!”.She said,tears welling in her eyes.

“It is okay,please don’t cry”.I said,patting her back and she faked a smile.

“Your hair is still w-t,I should help you dry it.Come on! Let’s go to my room”.I said and walked to my room while she followed me from behind.

****
We both got to my room and she sat on my bed since they wasn’t any chairs in my room.

I connected the plug to the socket before turning on the hair dryer,I walked closer to her and placed the hair dryer on her hair moving it to different direction.

She smiled widely feeling the wind on her hair as the hair flew about but unfortunately,her hair became dried and I removed the plug from the socket.

“That was…wow!”.She squeaked and I smiled.

“Come on! Do that again,please”.She said,joining her hands together but I refused.

“No,that’s enough”.I said and she rolled her eyes disappointedly.

“Don’t you think you should cut your hair,it’s too long and it’s growing rapidly”.I said but her mood changed suddenly.

“No! I shouldn’t cut my hair,I can’t do that”.She shook her head and I chuckled.

“Okay,Bel”.I said but gasped,realizing I called her Bel.

Chapter Sixteen📚

🌀🌀LINCOLN POV

I woke up the next day feeling so sleepy,i wanted to sleep back but the thought of going late to work made my eyes snap open. But thanks fully,i also remembered today was my off day and I smiled.Yep,i won’t go to work today.

I removed the blanket off my body and went to the bathroom.I brushed,bath and wore a green shirt and Jean short with a rabbit shaped slipper before going to the kitchen.

But surprisedly, i saw Belle in the kitchen moping the floor and my smile grew w¡der.How hærdworking!

“Good morning,Bel”.I said and she turned to me,noticing my presence.

“Oh! Good morning nice guy. How was your night?”.She asked,dropping the mopping stick into the bucket filled with brownish – soapy water.

“It was fine, as always”.I said and she smiled before carrying the bucket and mopping stick out of the kitchen.She was done mopping,I guess.

I sighed and turned on the gas cooker before placing a pot on the flame from the gas cooker and then Belle arrived in the kitchen watching me closely.

“What will you prepare?”.She asked,and I stared at her.

“I don’t know but I think Noddles will do since that is the only food in the house right now”.I said and she nodded,biting her lower l-ips shyly.

“Can…you…tea..ch me how to cook,please?”.She said,dropping her to the floor looking so embarrassed.

“Why?”.I gasped,surprised.

No one have ever asked me for this and i definitely wasn’t expecting it from Belle.

“Um,well about what you said earlier….I don’t what my husband to starve just because I can’t cook,I really want to learn how to cook because I think cooking is actually fun you know”.She rub her palms together in a way that says ‘please’ and I nodded slowly.

“Fine.Just watch me”.

I poured some litres of water into the pot before taking five Noddles from its carton.I opened the packages and put them in the pot of boiling water.

Belle watched me focus fully as I began slicing the pepper,tomato,onion,carrot and so on though i blended some but I wanted to cut the rest.

“I should help you with the onion,nice guy”.Belle offered to help but i stopped her.

“No Bel,am not sure if you can cut”.I said and poured everything i cut into the pot.

“Really?”.She scoffed,sounding offended but I didn’t reply her.I didn’t want to…

“Why don’t i cook some Noddles for you this afternoon? Am very sure you would like to be disappointed”.She crossed her hands on her chest glaring at me.

“Whatever,Bel…but still am sure you can’t cut”.I chuckled and she frowned.

****
It was afternoon already,I was taking a nap when Belle barged into my room interrupting my sleep.I quickly sat on the bed glaring at her.Geez! I can’t believe she woke me up.

“It is afternoon,nice guy”.She squeaked and I rolled my eyes.

“So…??”.I asked annoyed and the smile on her face dropped.

“What do you mean by so,huh? Am going to make Noddles so you should watch me,okay?”.She said and i sighed.

“Alright,just give me twenty seconds”.I said and she nodded,walking out of my room.

I stretched and stood from the bed,I headed to the bathroom and washed away the signs of sleep from my face before going the kitchen.

There,I met Belle putting some Noddles in the pot with already has some water boiling in it and I smiled,seeing she was doing it well.

She turned to me after hearing my footsteps and a smirk plastered on her l-ips.

“You will see nice guy,I do cook well”.She boasted and turned back to the pot while I just watched her.

She was cooking it so perfectly and I felt proud of her but till,she got to the cutting part.

“Wow,nice guy.I can’t wait to disappoint you”.She smirked and began cutting but suddenly the knife slide through her fingers making her receive a cut there.

She yelped and threw the knife away holding her bleeding fingers in pain.I immediately rush to her trying to clean out the blood coming from the wound but the unexpected happened.

The wound closed up!!

What the heck!! What just happened??

“Who the d*ckens are you,Belle??”.I yelled,surprise evident in my voice.

To even say I was surprised was an understatement….I was more than surprised,angry,curious just name them.

“Am…am..sorry..I..did..n’t…”.Her voice cracked as some sort of glistening tears rolled out of her eyes.

“Christ!!”.I gasped,taking some steps backwards.I was too afraid to speak.

“Am..a..prin…cess”.She stammered,wiping her tears away but more kept rolling down.

“Am a princess…. with powers”.
