I quickly ran to the restaurant and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, I wonder how many hours I used back there." Bella looked at her watched and scratched her neck sheepishly. "Maybe I did take a little time, but what's the worst that can happen, she will give me a questioning look, she will bombard me with lots of questions and she will make me sprout out everything once we get to the car." Bella smiled satisfied with her thought and went inside
the restaurant.
"Hope you didn't miss me too much Nan?"
No .. No .. No she didn't, I was here to keep my babe company. Bella eyed Nicholas and mimicked him secretly. I picked up my bag and kept the stone and that was when I felt it. I felt her gaze on me." I wonder how long she has been staring at me?" I looked up and meet her staring at me with a questioning look.
"Nicholas we need to start leaving, I have a meeting in the next two hours so I need to leave, you can continue with the work you came for." Are you sure baby? Yes am very much sure, Dolly let's go.
"Can I at least drip you home?" No worries Nicholas I bought my car. Nancy took Bella's hand and they both left the restaurant. "Is your boyfriend deaf?" What do you mean by is my boyfriend deaf? I mean you told him you were leaving and he was asking if you were sure. He is such a fool. "Bella, don't," Nancy said entering the car so did Bella.
"Ok, if you don't want me to talk then, there is no problem."
"What was that you kept inside your bag?." It's nothing Nancy, it's not more important than your meeting. I have no meetings am attending. I just wanted all my questions answered. "Why don't you like Nicholas, where did you go to and what did you put inside your bag."
Nancy that's three questions in a roll. Bella said.
I want you to answer all of them.
Ok, I will answer all your questions except why I don't like Nicholas. Nancy looked at Bella with a defeated look and Bella shrugged.
"Ok, start talking."
"Hmm, first I went outside to take a stroll and decided to rest then I met a woman who wanted to sell a precious stone in exchange for money which I bought for two hundred dollars."
"What!!! Did you buy a stone for two hundred dollars? Are you crazy or what?" Why are you saying this Nan? You of all people shouldn't complain. You own a lot and yet you are complaining over such a little amount of money.
"Oh! Now I see because I own a lot. But it doesn't make me stupid because I wouldn't even give such to buy a stone. Bella think! Think! Where the hell do they sell stone? Have never heard of such in my life." She said it was precious. And the stone even glows.
"What!! A stone glow? Is it a diamond?" No, it's not, it's a stone Nan. "I want to see the stone." No, I won't show you. You will throw it out of the window. "No I won't throw it out of the window I promise you, so please show me the stone." You already promise and you shouldn't break it. Bella bought out the stone and showed it to Nancy. "Why isn't it glowing?." I don't know, but am sure it glowed when I held it before. You can get a stone here and there and even inside my shoes.
Nancy bent down to take her shoe and brought out the stone inside it. "You see I even have one in my shoe." And how did it get there? "Don't blame me. There are lots of stones around so I can't always avoid it." Whatever let's just leave. Where are we going to? Your house. Why my house? If you come to my house then I know you just want to gossip with my mom. No, I wouldn't do that, I will only tell her how you spent two hundred dollars on a stone, don't stress me we are going to your house. Nancy ignited the car and was about to drive when a woman blocked her view. "What!!" Both Nancy and Bella said looking shocked. "You see Dolly, this is how the accidents happen and they blame the driver. I will sue this woman if she doesn't have anything reasonable to justify what she just did." Hold on. I think I recognize that lady. She was the one who sold the stone to me.
"Now this is what I call killing two birds with one stone, I will sue her and also get her punished for defrauding you with that stupid stone." No .. No .. No Nan, I volunteered to buy the stone myself she didn't force me, let's hear her out first. Bella and Nancy looked at the woman in front of the car panting. They were about to come out of the car but the woman immediately went to the door and knocked on the window. Nancy whined down and gave the woman a questioning look of what do you want?. I want to see that miss, please.
"You mean the one you defrauded?" What!! No ma'am I didn't defraud anybody I only sold the stone to her in exchange for money. Nan, please leave her, I told you she didn't defraud me.
Ma'am, am the one you are looking for. Yes, thank goodness I found you, please can I have a moment of privacy with you? Hold on! She is my friend, say whatever you want today now or else you forget about talking to her.
Nan, please I will explain everything to you later. You know I love you right? Bella opened the door and went out to meet the woman. Don't take your time Bella. Ok, I won't. Bella and the woman walked a little further away from Nancy's ears.
Am sorry for my friend's behavior. She only did that because of the stone.
Do you wish to return it? The woman asked.
"No ... No .. No ma'am I admire it and I will keep it no matter what."
That's why am here to warn you about the dangers of the stone.
"The stone? What dangers are there in the stone." Bella asked.
Like I told you, the stone is very precious than you think. There are lots of people who want that stone, lots of spiritual people. So right now that this stone is in your possession "YOU ARE IN DANGER."
