Chapter 4
Bella currently sat at the bar with Drew was watching Stacee and his band rehearse for the nights events.
"I think he likes you"
She heard Drew say. "Who does?" Bella asked him.
"Oh don't play me Hell's, you know exactly who I'm talking about" said Drew gesturing his head to the rock star.
"Stacee?"
"Mm hm"
Bella shrugged, "well of course he's my boss" she said.
"No I mean he like like's you" said Drew with a smug grin.
Bella frowned for a moment wondering what he was talking about when it suddenly occurred to her what Drew was getting at.
"Get the fuck out of here. You must be loosing your mind" she denied.
"Or you're just too blind to see that he's just as much into you as you are him" said Drew wiggling his eyebrows.
Bella pursing her lips patted him on the shoulder in a sympathetic manner. "Dear cousin you are delusional. Stacee Jaxx is not and never will be into me" she said.
"If that's so then how come he keeps looking this way?" asked Drew.
Bella narrowing her gaze from him to Stacee and witnessed for herself that her cousin was right. Every minute or so Stacee would look over in her direction causing Bella to nearly forget how to breathe.
"So what? He looks over here. Big deal. It proves nothing" she argued just about managing to tare her eyes off the rock god.
"How about the jealous expression?" Drew questioned.
This had Bella stumped. "What jealous expression?" she asked.
"Watch" said Drew as he then placed his arm round her shoulder.
Bella spying the enraged look behind Stacee's eyes was taken back with surprise. That's when it hit her.
"Wait. Does he think that...?" Bella trailed off glancing between her cousin and Stacee.
Drew with a smug expression just simply nodded not saying a word.
"Oh. Oh. Ohhhhh! That is just...wrong. That is fucked up. That is..." Bella wandered off from her disgust and thought about what Drew said. "You really think he likes me?" she asked him.
"I don't have doubt in my mind. The sexual tension between you two is just hell fire crazy" Drew commented.
"I've never really given much thought to it before, until now that is. I mean he's Stacee Jaxx for christ sake, lord of rock n roll. And I'm...nobody. He can have any girl he wants. Why would he want to waste his time on me?" Bella questioned.
"Maybe because he sees that you're different, in a special kind of way and wants to take a chance" Drew suggested.
"I doubt that very much" said Bella.
"You're too quick to judge Hell's. Sometimes people can surprise you"
"If only" spoke a dejected Bella.
"Fuck!"
Just then the music cut short as Bella leapt up and approached the stage to see one of the guitarists wires had snapped.
"Not now! Not fucking now!" shouted the man.
"Don't worry there's a spare in the back I'll go get that and fix this" suggested Bella taking the broken guitar out the guys hands before racing off to the back room.
In no time she found the spare instrument but unknown to her she'd been followed as Bella went to regroup with the others, however heard the lock to the door click and spun on the spot to see Stacee himself blocking her exit.
"Mr Jaxx? What are you doing?" she asked feeling her heart hammer against her chest.
"Why do you call me that? It's Stacee. You know that" he corrected her.
Bella cleared her throat, "of course, Stacee. What are you doing back here?" she asked him.
Stacee slowly stalked toward her, "I needed to speak with you" he said.
"Erm, okay. W-what do you err...what do you want to talk about?" Bella stuttered backing up from him.
"You're friend"
"Drew?" Bella questioned receiving a nod.
"Is he you're boyfriend?" asked Stacee drawing closer.
Bella shook her head, "no. He's my cousin" she said.
"Your cousin?" quizzed Stacee with a taken back expression.
"Yeah"
"What about that other guy? Mason?"
Bella felt her jaw tighten at that name. "He's nothing to me. Has been since he betrayed me" she bit. "Why do you want to know these things anyway? Why the sudden interest?" she asked.
"Because, there's something about you that drives me insane" said Stacee.
Bella gasping as she felt her body hit the dress side mirrors accidentally dropped the guitar swallowing back a lump knowing she was trapped.
"W-what do you mean?" she asked him.
Stacee now just inches away from her placed his hand above her heart. "You think I don't notice things but you're wrong. I've seen the way your eyes light up when the music plays. I see the way you move your body ever so gracefully to the beat. I see the way you bite your lip when you're turned on. I see the way your body trembles in my presence. I've seen the way you look at me. I see your want, your need for my touch. For my body to dominate yours, for my lips" he whispered brushing his lips against hers.
Bella gripping onto the dresser for dear life was facing an insane battle with herself that she was quickly loosing no matter how hard she tried to fight. Stacee's words were driving her to madness, not to mention the fact of having him this close and feeling his lips not even inches from her own.
'Control Bella, control' she told herself.
"Stacee, please. Don't" she mumbled.
"Why not?" he asked her.
"B-because...because I... .I'm afraid of this. I'm afraid of wanting something that will never truly be mine. I've already been hurt once, I can't do it again."
"And what is it you want?" asked Stacee running a hand up her thigh.
Bella unable to control herself looked him dead in the eyes before uttering the next words that fell from her lips like hot candy.
"You. I want you. I-"
'No Bella! Control! Control!'
"I love you"
Stacee thrown for a loop by this looked on with absolute shock.
I Wanna Know What Love Is - The Foreigner
(Stacee)
I gotta take a little time
Stacee staggered backwards turning his back to Bella who sorrowfully cast her gaze to the floor.
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
(Bella)
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Bella turning to face the mirror wrapped her arms around herself silently wishing she hadn't spoken a word about her true feelings.
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
Stacee narrowing his gaze back to the beautiful woman before him felt a sudden change occur inside him as he advanced toward her once more reaching out to gently run his hands down her soft skinned arms.
(Both)
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
Stacee slowly turning Bella round to face him cupped her face with both hands. Bella unable to stand it gripped Stacee's jacket and pushed it off his shoulders letting it fall to the ground as she ran her hands over his bare chest.
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
(Stacee)
I'm gonna take a little time
Stacee now skimming his hands down her body stopped at Bella's waist whilst running his nose over her neck taking in her delectable scent.
A little time to look around me
Pulling back he raised her arms above her head before pulling Bella's crop top off in one swift move running his hands over her sweet breasts placing soft kisses on them.
(Bella)
I've got nowhere left to hide
Moaning at the rock gods touch Bella threw back her head as he trailed kisses from her breasts sinking lower and lower till he reached her pants line.
It looks like love has finally found me
(Stacee)
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Stacee locking eyes with his queen of darkness who was staring back at him with lust filled eyes seductively unzipped her boots using his teeth and pulled them off.
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
He then gripped her pants and stripped them off causing Bella to gasp at her current nakedness.
(Both)
To change this lonely life
As she tried to hide herself Stacee not letting her picked Bella up by the waist wrapping her legs round his front as he pressed her up against a wall.
(Stacee)
Let's talk about love
Feeling Stacee's hardness pressing against her center Bella became increasingly wet by the second as the two of them moved together with Bella keeping a firm hold of Stacee's neck running her tongue along his jaw line to his ear.
I wanna know what love is,
(Bella)
The love that you feel inside
(Stacee)
I want you to show me,
He worked her body.
(Bella)
And I'm feeling so much love
She caressed him.
(Stacee)
I wanna feel what love is, no,
He satisfied her needs.
(Bella)
You just cannot hide
She gave him her all.
(Stacee)
I know you can show me,
Together they were two slowly becoming one.
(Both)
Ooh ooh oooh
Their releases came once more with both heavily panting and sweating from the pleasure.
Bella looking into her rock god's eyes smiled. "I love you. I understand you can't commit but I just want you to know that I love you" she told him through her pants.
"I want to, but..."
"Its okay. You don't have to explain yourself to me. Like I said I understand" said Bella gently her knuckles over his cheek.
Stacee shook his head. "Why are so good to me?" he asked.
"Because you brought me back to life. You and your beautiful music have been the key factors in my life that kept me from falling apart. I tried so hard to keep myself from loving you, but I couldn't and now look where I am" Bella said feeling herself tearing up.
"Do you regret it?" asked Stacee.
Bella shook her head. "No. I know it probably doesn't make sense, but in the two years I've known you Stacee I've come to be close to this strong perplexing funny irritating guy who without realizing it made me care about him without even trying. I never thought I'd be capable of feeling any sort of compassion again after what Mason did to me, but with you I'm myself again" she said.
Stacee searching her eyes saw the true love and fire filled passion she held for him and felt his own heart pound like a drum solo. Cupping her cheek he lent his forehead on hers brushing their noses together.
"You rock my world"
Bella smiled a watery smile. "And you make mine a better place" she said.
The two went to lean in for a kiss but at last minute were stopped by three annoying sounds.
Knock knock knock
"What!?" Bella shouted.
"Err Hell's this may or may not be a bad time, but the police are here to see you."
'Oh shit'
