Deprived Love - Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Third person's pov
“I want to take you somewhere tomorrow.” Chris uttered driving the car, they were driving back to Bella's apartment after having dinner.
“Where?” Bella asked confusingly but her chest bubbled with excitement.
“Surprise.” Chris whispered and Bella pouted.
They reached the apartment and opened the door and Chris removed his coat.
“I'll go and take a shower.” Bella uttered before going to the bathroom.
She removed her clothes and got under the shower, the warm water soothed her muscles, she took some amount of shower gel and gently rubbed her body with a loofah.
She got under the shower again. She gasped when she felt a warm breath on her nape and cold hands against her warm waist.
“Chris-” she moaned when he caressed her inner thighs. It had been a long time since they got intimate. Bella missed Chris's touches and him.
Chris left soft kisses on her neck and shoulder, wettening them under the shower.
He turned Bella towards him and pinned her against the wall, and removed the damp blonde locks away from her forehead. “Don't busy yourself too much. I missed you so much darling and you don't even seem to be bothered about it. I wasn't able to breathe properly for two weeks and here you are taking a warm shower all alone.” Bella chuckled.
“Chris-” she was not allowed to complete the sentence as Chris pressed his lips against hers. The kiss conveyed his feelings that words never could. No teeth or tongue involved, it was a sensual soft kiss poured with love. Chris turned off the shower, and made Bella sit on the counter without breaking the kiss. Bella moaned when Chris gently sucked her bottom lip.
“I missed you too, Chris. I'll try to spend more and more time with you. Forgive me this one time, okay?” Bella whispered and Chris nodded. He took a towel and wiped the warm water off Bella and made her wear a bathrobe. And he wore a bathrobe too, removing his wet boxers after and Bella blushed.
Chris lifted Bella in a bridal style and made her lay on the bed kissing her forehead softly, lips lingering for a while, Bella sighed in contentment and then he laid on the other side nuzzling her closer to his chest.
Chris pecked on her lips and Bella pouted.
"More." Chris chuckled and leaned in and captured Bella's lips in a sensual kiss. He licked her bottom lips and Bella opened her mouth letting Chris explore her warm cavern.
Chris hovered over Bella and soon kiss turned into a passionate one.
They withdrew from the kiss to catch breath. Chris immediately nipped Bella's neck and started sucking marking her. Bella tilted her head to give more access.
Chris then captured her lips once more and then shifted beside her making her sleep on his hand. Bella smiled and rested her head on Chris's chest.
His heartbeat was as fast as Bella's was.
“So we'll go in the morning?” Bella asked excitedly after some moment of comfortable silence.
“Excited, are we?” Chris asked.
Bella nodded her head and Chris chuckled.
“We'll go after having breakfast.” Chris said softly.
“It's been half an hour of driving Chris. Why are we taking this long?” Bella asked.
“Patience baby… patience!” Chris whispered.
After some more minutes the car stopped in between a silent highway where no vehicles were seen. Chris unbuckled his seatbelt and took a ribbon from his pocket, he leaned towards Bella who was eying his every moment with furrowed eyebrows.
“You need to be blindfolded.” Chris uttered.
“Why?” Bella questioned.
“Please baby, do you trust me darling?” Bella nodded and Chris blindfolded her.
Bella's heart hammered against her ribcage with excitement. She felt giddy.
“Chris, how long?” Bella whined after some minutes.
“Little bit more darling.” And after some minutes the car stopped.
Bella felt Chris walking out of the car and circling to open her door. He gently helped Bella to get out of the car. He took Bella further and the blonde girl had no idea.
After walking a bit they stopped.
“I am opening the blindfold.” Chris uttered and Bella took a deep breath before nodding.
The blindfold was released, Bella opened her eyes but was met with brightness, she adjusted her vision by rubbing her eyelids and soon things became clear. Her eyes widened as a tennis ball when she saw the place she was standing.
It was the same building they met, precisely the same garden they met.
“Chris?” Bella turned only to find Chris kneeling in front of her with a velvet box in his hands and Bella gasped. It was too much for her to handle.
First she was standing in front of the building where she spent the most beautiful time in her childhood… where she found an escape to her problems, Chris. A wave of nostalgia hit her when she took in the view. It was the same garden they used to play after becoming friends. They made so many promises, so many memories and encountered many feelings. And now the same little raven boy is all grown up and is proposing her.
Chris took a deep breath as he was nervous too.
“Bella, I love you. The fact that you love me… leave it. The fact that you are willing to be with me is itself a miracle to me… love sounds like a dream to me. I was afraid…so afraid the day you confessed to me that you love me… what if it was all a dream... What if I just wake up and everything disappears...what if you disappear… but it took me a while to understand… no… it was not a dream. You are actually beside me.”
He exhaled and then continued, “Bella I am not a kind, selfless person like you. I am not like those sweet male leads who just sacrifice everything for others. I am greedy and selfish. That I want you with me forever… I want to make myself believe that yess… you are actually with me… I wanna have you all by myself forever. So I took you to this place where it all started. To begin a new journey where it all started.”
Bella wiped her tears that were determined not to stop. How can she when she knows she is loved so dearly.
“I wanna accompany you everywhere, I want to stand beside you holding a bouquet for our wedding… I want to sit beside you caressing your pretty blonde hair when you'll have our little baby in your arms… I want to hold your hands and stand in front of the school where our little one will go… I want to stand beside you when we see our child finding her own true love… I want to click a picture of us together when we'll have white hair… and I want to lay beside your coffin… and then I want to accompany you to the afterworld too. This one life doesn't seem enough for me to live with you… I want more lives and I want to fall deeper and deeper every time.”
Bella made Chris stand by holding his shoulder.
“So Ms. Bella Smith.. Would you marry me and are you willing to be Mrs. Bella Christian Wilson?”
Bella nodded desperately, “Yes.. I want to marry you and be yours forever Chris.” Chris's face lit up. “And don't say that , Chris. You don't know you have brought me away from darkness too. You brought colours to my black and white life. You made me believe that love exists and I have a man who loves me like his everything. I wanna always breathe the same air as you. I know you can die for me but I want you to live for me, Chris. And I love you dearly, madly and pathetically. Please don't back away from your words. I too don't want to live in the afterworld without you.”
And their lips met… they didn't know who initiated but their lips met in a sensual kiss and the trees swayed dancing and celebrating their love… a love that will never fade away. A painting on canvas that can never be painted fully. There will always be a place to paint more with their love.
They didn't know for how long they kissed without even exchanging rings. That was the purpose of them being there but that was love… It makes people forget everything.
All they could think of was the little Chris and Bella, making promises about their future when they didn't even know the concept of marriage or how life is lived. Maybe because they pictured each other as their future already without even knowing the meaning of the future itself.
“I'll earn for both of us and you'll prepare dinner for me when I get back home” Bella uttered and Chris pouted.
“But boys don't do that, you are supposed to cook for me.” Chris whined.
“But we would change that!” Bella yelled.
“Okayyh, At least you would marryyy me.” Chris said excitedly.
“Yeah… I would just for you.”
They both chuckled remembering their childhood promises and Bella saw tears in Chris's hazel eyes for the first time. Yes she saw tears when Chris cried for her but this was the first time she saw happy tears in his eyes.
Maybe Chris never got that level of happiness before today that he never had happy tears.
She loved the way Chris looked at her like she was a dream in between nightmares.
Chris gently took Bella's ring finger and slided the diamond ring in her long slender finger and Bella did the same, she slided the ring in Chris's bony finger.
“Little Chris and Little Bella would be happy in a parallel world when they'll know their future selves are fulfilling their wish.” Bella said, wiping Chris's happy tears.
“I bet little Chris would be more happy.” Bella pouted and Chris kissed her pout.
Chris sensually kissed Bella's forehead followed by her eyelids. Then he pecked on her nose and then smooched the corner of her mouth and finally her lips.
Bella sighed in delight and wrapped her arms around Chris's neck arching her back.
If it's carved in destiny nothing can keep them apart. And maybe God wondered a little bit before writing their story because nobody ever wondered that Chris's heart can be melted by Bella without even trying in mere months.
Love can't be forgotten as it is carved in our souls, even if we try to replace it with hatred it never disappears. If it disappears it's not love.
Love can't be replaced by anything… neither by other feelings nor by time. Love just increases with passing time. And Chris was sure that he would keep falling in love more and more with Bella everyday. And Bella was sure that Chris would keep making her heart flutter everyday no matter how many times they would kiss or how many times they made love.
Chris always wondered love was off limits for him as he never got the love he deserved, he was deprived of love by his fate and Bella, the girl never felt loved. She wanted to be loved truly, madly, deeply as she could love. Someone who could match her level of love. But she wondered when her parents who gave birth to her didn't love her properly, why would someone love her. She was deprived of love from her parents due to her own parent's behaviour.
And destiny played its role and gave Chris and Bella their .
