CHAPTER 21: Convincing the Devil

BELLA PARKER


It has been one week since I last spoke to Nanny, whenever I tried to talk to her, Liam would catch me and take my phone from my hand. Nanny too called to ask about me but always Liam would make some excuse. Ryan tried to help me and he too lost his phone.


"Mommy, why is our life so boring?" Ryan asked.


Me and Ryan, we were sitting on his bed and watching movie.


"Why are you saying this?" I asked.


"It's the truth. I want to go out."


I started thinking, he is right.


He is always in the house, no friends nothing. This is not what kids do. He is like a prisoner captured in a prison and the jailer is Mr. Devil Parker.


"I think you are right but we can't do anything about it."


"Yes we can." He said in excitement.


I think I know what is this little one thinking.


And my answer to it is a Hell No.


"No baby. We are not doing that what you are thinking."


"Yes we are. Please Mommy just think about it. It would be so much fun."


"Fun? Do you want to see your Mommy dead?"


"Please. Dad wouldn't say anything."


"This is madness Ryan. I am not doing this."


"I don't have anyone to help me."


"No." I said in a stern voice.


Ryan frowned then pouted making puppy eyes. I eyed him suspiciously.


He got up from the bed, standing up he wiped his fake tears and said "I want a new friend. Why is my life like this? Why does no one understand me?"


"Ryan stop. This time you can't fool me."


He again wiped his fake tears "My life is so miserable. I wish I had a friend."


I waved my hand in front of him "Hello! Am I invisible?"


*wiping fake tears* "Dad, I need a new Mommy."


"That's it. Stop."


*wiping fake tears* "No one is there to take care of this poor child."


Poor child? Who? You?


Blackmailing this poor Mommy.


He continued "Sigh."


"Sigh."


"Sigh."


"So many sighs."


"Okay fine. I'll do it." I said.


In seconds his face changed into a happy one, he came running to me and hugged me. Kissing my cheeks he said "I love you Mommy."


I glared at him. "You are the best."


Bella, be ready to die.
------------------------------------------------------------
"AAH!" I screamed in pain.


"LIAM PARKER!!!" I yelled in anger.


As usual I fell down from the couch again. Frustrated, I looked straight to see Liam fixing his tie in front of the mirror. I stood up and marched towards him, holding his arm, I turned him around to face me.


I glared at him. "Fuck with your rules. I am not sleeping on that couch again whether you like it or not. I don't fucking care."


I didn't give him a single chance to say anything and marched towards the washroom, slamming the door.


After taking a good shower and brushing my teeth, I went downstairs to see Liam and Ryan sitting and eating their breakfast.


Both of them look so cute together. Well my Ryan was born cute but Liam too looks cute when he is not Mr. Devil Parker.


"Hello, to my baby" I said Ryan with a big smile. Then turned to Liam, glaring at him I said "and to Mr. Devil Parker too."


Ryan giggled. Liam glared back at me.


I went to Ryan taking a seat beside him, I started eating my breakfast. Ryan poked on my arm, I turned to him. He was signalling me to say it. I started coughing and signalled him back saying 'no'.


He again mouthed 'please'.


I shook my head.


He made puppy eyes.


I shook my head closing my eyes shut.


If I look at him now, I'll surely fall for his cuteness.


"What is it Bella?" came Liam's voice.


I turned to look at him, just to see Liam eating his food, quietly not even looking at me.


I gulped.


"Mommy has something to say Dad." Ryan said.


I glared at him. He again signalled me.


I turned to Liam, he was already looking at me with raised eyebrows "Umm... s-so I-I wanted to talk to you."


"Ya, I heard him. What do you want to talk about?" Liam said.


"Umm... me and Ryan, Ryan and me, like we-"


"Bella stop complicating things and say it."


I sighed and closed my eyes "Will you take me and Ryan out?" I said it quickly, so that he can't understand anything and I wasn't going to repeat it again at all.


I opened my one eyes to see him looking at me complete expressionless.


Slowly I opened my eyes and with a sad face I continued "I-I mean we are always in the house like prisoners, please take us somewhere out. Ryan too deserves to go out and enjoy. I mean watching movies all the time also gets boring then the playroom also gets boring with all the same stuffs everyday. He must also enjoy something different like other kids do, I mean he has the right to experience things. I feel so sad looking at my poor baby always captured in a room with nothing to do except studies. As parents, we can at least do this much for him. To see his happy face, to see my baby smile." I finally completed.


When I looked in front, I saw Liam staring at me with a blank look. I turned to look at Ryan to see he was looking at me with his mouth hung open in... shock? Surprise?


Ryan then closed his mouth and gulped hard.


Umm... did I say a lot?


Yes?


Ryan then gave slow claps with the same expression "Mommy, that speech was so awesome."


I smiled and looked in front to see Liam shaking his head in disbelief.


I pouted making puppy eyes "Please Liam."


He sighed in annoyance getting up from his seat, he fixed his suit "Fine. We'll go tomorrow."


"Really?" Ryan exclaimed in happiness.


Liam looked at him and said "I am not ready to hear another long speech from your Mom so it's better we go."


"WOW! FINALLY!" Ryan shouted then hugged me. "Thank you so much Mommy. I love you so much. You are the best."


I kissed his cheek.


"All love to Mommy, nothing for Daddy." Liam said.


I looked at him and pulled Ryan closer to myself. "Jealous Devil."


"Okay fine, I am the devil right? We are not going anywhere then."


My eyes widened "No. No. No. Sorry. Please no."


I then whispered in Ryan's ear "Go and kiss him."


Ryan got up from his seat and ran to Liam. Liam picked Ryan up in his arm. Ryan kissed Liam's cheek, Liam smiled at him then kissed him in his cheek. " Thanks Dad. I love you." Putting Ryan down Liam kept standing.


"I am still waiting." Liam said.


"He kissed you. What more do you want from that little kid?" I replied trying to defend my baby and save him from his Devil daddy.


"Well that little kid didn't call me Devil. So, who called me Devil has to pay a price." Liam said.


I looked down and bit my lip.


"I am waiting Bella."


Does he want me too to kiss him?


"Mommy, you have to do it, come on?"


Come on Bels, it's not the first time, you'll be doing that. Be the strong Bels and do it.


Yes, I can do it. It's just a kiss. Right?


Yep.


But why does he want me to kiss him suddenly?


How would I know that? I am your consy not his.


Ya right. Anyways this man can do anything, how can I forget he is a bipolar ass.


"Earth to Bella." I came out of my thoughts when Liam called me.


I got up from my seat and went towards him. I stood in front of him. Leaning my face to his lips I closed my eyes.


Jesus! I can feel monkeys having a disco party in my stomach.


I feel so nervous right now and also excited, this is the first time he is asking for a kiss.


This feels so different.


I was about to kiss him, when I felt him moving away. I opened my eyes to see him, he was standing at a distance, away from me with a confused look and I too gave him the same confused look.


"What are you doing?" He asked.


"You yourself told to kiss you that's what I am doing."


"What?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed.


"Kiss. You asked for that."


I looked at Ryan and saw him slapping his head and when I turned back to Liam, I saw him staring at me in disbelief.


"You really thought that? I was asking you to apologise to me. Clean that brain of yours Bella."


WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!? He wanted me to apologise and me, Bella you are so dumb.


I kinda felt disappointed. Of course, I am disappointed I wanted to kiss him.


"So, Bella am I getting an apology from you?" He asked with an evil smirk.


I don't know why but anger rose inside me and I said "No you are not. You are a devil, this is the truth." With that I went back upstairs to my room.


The whole day I was in my room doing nothing. Ryan came few times to cheer me up and as always he was successful in doing that. You guys can't blame me. That cutie's pouty face is always my weak point.


Me and Ryan, we were sitting in my room, I was just sitting and staring at him with a bored look.


"Mommy, this is so difficult. My intelligent brain hates maths." Ryan said. He trying to solve a problem for 30 minutes now but nothing.


"Baby, this is the reason why Mommy hate maths."


"Wait. I have an idea." I said all excited. Ryan looked at me with all the hope in his eyes. "Let's take a break for sometime then we can try again."


"Yay! Mommy that sounds good."


"I know right I am great. So, let's dance."


"Dance?"


"Ya. That's my way of chilling and let me tell you it's freakin' amazing."


"I haven't tried."


"WHAT? YOU HAVEN'T TRIED DANCING?" I yelled getting up from my bed in shock.


This kid will surely give me a heart attack. Who haven't tried dancing?


Ryan closed his ears with his hands and said "Mommy slow down. My ears!"


"Sorry, but why haven't you tried dancing. Dude are you crazy?"


"No. Dad has never taught me that." Ryan said looking down fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.


"UGH!! Of course the Liam Parker. Anyways, forget Dad, Mommy will teach you everything."


I picked up my phone from the bedside table and played a song. It started and me too. I started dancing with the song while singing.


"Shimmy shimmy yay, shimmy yay, shimmy ya (drank)
Swalla-la-la (drank)
Swalla-la-la (swalla-la-la)
Swalla-la-la
Shimmy shimmy yay, shimmy yay, shimmy ya (drank)
Swalla-la-la (drank)
Swalla-la-la (swalla-la-la)
Swalla-la-la
Freaky, freaky gyal
My freaky, freaky gyal"


Ryan stood up on the bed and asked in a happy voice. "Wow Mommy! Which song is this? This is so good and your dance too."


"I know baby. You too dance and enjoy. Dancing is not hard. Come on."


We were shouting on top of our voices and dancing. We were acting totally like kids. Well he is a kid but I too was acting like one. Dancing is so much fun. I was so lost in the dance that I forgot that I was not in my own old room and I got up on the bed and started doing my moves happily, swaying my hips.


"SWALLA-LA-LA-SWALLA-LA."


"What the hell are you both doing?" came the voice of a person filled with irritation.


Ryan's stopped dancing and shouting and me, *scoffs* I literally froze. I didn't even turn back to see the person because I knew who was it.


The Great Liam Parker.


Embarrassment was killing me.


Why did he have to come now?


"Switch off the music." Liam said in a stern voice. Ryan picked up the phone and switched it off. He then ran to Liam.


"Dad, Mommy and I were dancing. Mommy said she would teach me how to dance."


"On the bed?" Liam asked. I could feel that his gaze was now on me.


Slowly I turned around and saw Liam looking at me.


"W-We w-were just dancing."


"That's called dancing? I thought that's called jumping on the bed." Liam started making his way towards me. I bit my lips. He then stood in front of me with hands in his pockets. He looked at me from top to bottom and sighed, shaking his head.


"Are you planning to stand on the bed for the whole night?"


That made me realize that I was still standing on the bed. I shook my head and quickly got down from the bed. This shit is so embarrassing. He took few steps towards me and said "You know I really wonder sometimes if you are 24 or 5."


I looked down.


"I-It's all y-your fault. You didn't teach Ryan dancing so I had to do it. One of the parent must fulfill their duty." I finally said.


"That's not called dancing."


"That's my style of dancing." I snapped.


He sighed.


Ha! Bella won Liam lost. I am great!


With a victory smile plastered on my face I said "Ryan, baby let's go and have the dinner. Daddy has nothing more to say."


Liam glared at me. I gave a wide smile and ran to Ryan, taking him out of the room.
