Silent Flames (Vincent series)

Chapter 49

Ariana's POV.

Sitting on the couch with everyone I saw my husband coming in from the front door.

He looked at me. Tension and worry can be seen all over his face.

He turned towards Dad, "I want to talk to you." Dad nodded standing up.

He buttoned up his blazer button and I saw them going upstairs.

"You guys are having exams, right? Go and study." Mom said and we came to Belle's room.

Sitting on her bed I removed my books.

Looking at the book I was thinking about him.

What he and Dad be talking about right now? I miss him. I wish we were living together in a room.

"Thinking of my brother..." I looked at Belle and smiled.

"No... I'm thinking about my husband." I covered my face with the textbook and laughed.

I learned some characteristics and pros and cons.

Some of the terms were so difficult to remember. I hate dates of happened events. After memorizing some of it I was tired now.

I removed a pair of clothes.

Entering inside the washroom I turned on the shower. It relaxed me a bit. I got dressed up in skinny ankle-length faded ripped jeans with a spaghetti top. It was backless. There were some strings in a zigzag pattern on my back.  There were padded cups attached so there was no need to wear a bra.

I wore it and adjusted it properly on my curves. I looked at myself I was looking hot today. I came out of the closet room.

"Belle." She looked at me and I turned my back towards her and pulled my hair up.

"Please help me." I requested and she came forward, "You're asking the wrong person..." She pulled the string and I held my breath,"  You should ask Brother Ric instead." She teased and tied it up neatly.

I bit my lips at that thought and saw my reflection again. The top hugged my body perfectly. Brushing my hair, I dried it properly and sat with her. She was drawing something.

Bored I stood up and made my way to the window and felt the warm breeze hitting my face. It was bliss.

"Wow! Nice weather. Let's go and sit in the garden." She suggested keeping her pencil and book aside.

We ran downstairs and went to the backyard. There is a lovely garden with beautiful flowers.

"So how's your married life going?"

"Fine...I miss Ric. I miss spending time with him. He's busy in the office and Dad already asked us not to see each other till graduation. It's complicated." I explained unable to understand what I was saying.

She looked at me with sympathy, "Don't worry after graduation you can live with him."

I sucked my lips feeling bad, the green grass beneath me was soft and soothing. It was so good to feel them against my palm.

I was so lost and suddenly I felt something crawling on my back.

I stilled and felt a stinging pain.

My whole back began to itch.

"Belle...is there something on my back?" I asked and she removed my hair and got shocked.

"Ants..."

I immediately stood up shrugging my body a little. She removed all the ants crawling on my back.
