Chapter 3
Belle's POV
I feel like I'm floating. My heart is pounding hard. I have never felt this feeling ever before. What is
happening to me?
A wave of heat rushes up my face when I noticed that he's also looking intently towards my direction.
All of a sudden, I feel something's tugging my skirt down. I was snapped from the euphoria when I
realized that a little boy maybe four or five years old is the one tugging my skirt. Where did this kid
come from?
He's mumbling something while yanking my skirt down. I looked up again and glanced at the most
beautiful man in the world while trying to play it cool.
To my utter horror, I felt something cold and wet on my left thigh. When I looked down again, I realized
that the kid is actually licking my thigh like it's a lollipop.

Nikolai's POV
I have to meet with Dimitri and fix the mess that Marki left. That bastard deserved whatever happened
to him. I trusted that piece of shit and this is how he repays me.
"Boss, Dimitri has been waiting for you. "
"Where is he? "
"In the living room."
"Let him wait in my office."
As soon as I stepped out of the car, my eyes locked on the familiar face right across the street. That's
her. My angel. The virgin. She's holding a bouquet of red daisies, the exact favourite of Yelena.
She really is beautiful.
Wait a minute, what the fuck is that tiny fucker doing to her leg?

Belle's POV
The kid's name is Jacob. He is really cute minus the licking part. His mother took him off of my leg after
I kissed him on his cheek.
While I momentarily lost my attention, the most handsome man in the world is still looking at my
direction. Has he been looking at me? Omg. I hope I'm not blushing.
I looked around just to make sure he's actually looking at me. Yup. He's definitely looking at me.
I smiled and waved at him. He smiled and waved back at me as well. What are you doing Belle? Run!
Ahhhh!
Oh wait, I still have one bag of sweets and he's technically my neighbour so--seriously Belle? I just
laugh at my silliness.
Okay. I'll go there and introduce myself just like what a good neighbour would do. Yes? No. I cant do it.
I just can't. But wait, I can do this.
While I was glued to my position and struggling with an internal strife, I saw him closing in on me. Omg!
Shoo! What are you doing? I'm going to freak out.
"Hi." He greeted, his voice low and hoarse. Gahd he's too handsome.
He has a smirk plastered on his face as he looks at me from head to foot which instantly made me feel
uncomfortable.
I glanced around the second time just to be perfectly sure that I am the one he's talking to. Yup. It's me
he's talking to.
I feel like everything around us turned surreal. Electric current run down my spine as I continue to glue
my eyes on him.
Now that he's close enough. I can see that there's a tattoo peeking from his collar and his right wrist
which I must say added to his overwhelming godlike charm.
"Hi." I greeted back. Oh my god he has the sexiest green eyes ever!
"I see that you're quite popular with the boys." He said in a teasing tone. He has this very sexy accent I
could not specifically identify.
"Ha! Very funny." I replied.
"I'm Nikolai. I live there. And you are?" He pointed at the huge apartment building right across the
street while his other hand is in his pocket.
"Hello I'm Belle, I live there." I pointed at my apartment's direction. "I just moved here a few days ago."
Geeez.. too much sharing of personal info Belle, shut up!
"Really? Well, welcome to the neighbourhood Belle."
"Thank you, Nikolai. You have a very nice home." At this point, I don't know how I can still manage to
speak sanely to him.
"Thank you." He replied.
"Oh, by the way, I've got some sweets from back home." I said interrupting the awkward silence that
was about to happen.
"Really? Wow. Thank you Belle."
When he took the bag from my hand our fingers touched and in an instant, volts of electric current run
through my body causing waves of tingles inside my heart and abdomen. What in the world is
happening to me right now?
"Please come inside. Have some tea or coffee maybe?" Nikolai offered still not removing his eyes off of
me.
"Oh, maybe next time? I kinda had a long day today. But thank you for the offer."
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! I feel like I'm running out of breath.
"Okay, next time then."
"I have to go. Nice meeting you Nikolai. Bye."

Amy_Lee143: Sleep it over and don't have sex with my brother. I'm out!
Amy_Lee143 is now offline.
Dammit, that bitch didn't even give me the chance to get back at her. I closed my laptop and tossed it
on my bed.
Amy's right. This feeling will eventually go away. I'm gonna meet with Lily and some of the teachers
from St. Mary's at a club called Blaze. This will be a good distraction.
