I walked out from the dressing room to look for Kylian at the backstage. Where could he be? I hope no one sees him.
"Bella." I heard Kylian's voice from the side. He waved his hand while smiling.
I approached him. "What are you doing here at the backstage? And yeah you told me that you were not coming for my fashion show. Did you just lied to me?" I folded my arms.
"Ok, first of all I want to congratulate you for winning and actually that's not the reaction I've expected." He laughed. I stared at at him. "Ok ok. I just wanted to surprise you. I thought if you sees me, you will hug me and said 'oh Kylian I miss you'." He mimicked my voice.
"And you expect me to said that to you now?" I rolled my eyes. "And yes Kylian if you really want to meet me so badly, why backstage? We can meet outside of my college. What if people sees us? What if they sees us and know that we knew each other. What if-" I stopped when I saw Kylian started to laugh.
"Bella, calm down. No one will see us. I came here because I want to ask you to have dinner with us. Let's celebrate this. You and Steph." That's all?? He came all the way to the backstage just to said that.
"That's it?? Okay. But let me change my clothes into comfortable ones. Meet me and Steph outside the college." He nodded as he left.
I made my way to the dressing room as I saw all of my models were ready to leave. "Bella, you're not going home?"
"Urmm no. I have to pack things up." They hugged me and they left. I changed my outfits to a comfortable clothes. I wore a white long sleeve turtleneck shirt with black coat and boot heels. Hmm that's nice.
Bella: You're ready?
Steph: Yup. See you outside.
Bella: Okayy!!
"Hey, let's go. There are outside the college. Is Jose coming too?" I asked Stephanie. He nodded.
"Bonsior (Good evening). Shall we go now?" We met Kylian and the rest at the carpark.
"Yes. Allez-y tous en premier (All of you go ahead first)." I heard Kylian said to Hakimi. I do not understand what is he saying but seem that they are moving and Kylian hold my hand, not moving at all.
"Bella, we'll meet you there ok." Steph said as she hugged me.
"Wait what! I thought we are going to have dinner together."
"He told us to go first." Steph whispered at me. What is going on here? What's wrong with him. He's literally spoiling my mood.
We waved at them as their car drove. "What is wrong with you? Why do we not go with them. You told me that we are going to have dinner." My anger started to boil up.
"Well, it's not wrong if I want to have dinner with you only." Huh?? I'm so confused.
"We are having dinner together? You mean only the both of us? How about the rest? Won't they be mad at us?"
He shook his head. "Not at all. They already knew about it. Except Stephanie and her boyfriend. Now let's go. Our reservation is at 8.30pm." I just nodded my head. I have no idea where are we going. Damian was there too. He picked us up and went to our dinner.
Stephanie POV:
"Hmm.. Je me demande où vont-ils. Savez-vous tous où Kylian amène Bella (Hmm.. I wonder where are they going. Do you all know where Kylian is bringing Bella to)?" I asked Neymar.
He smiled. "Kylian pourrait avoir quelque chose dont il veut parler avec Bella. Ne t'inquiète pas (Kylian might have something that he want to talk with Bella. Don't worry)."
I nodded as we have arrived at Cesar. We ordered some red wines and ordered lots of food.
Bella POV:
"Kylian, we have arrived." I looked out from the window and sees a high building at the side. Is this a hotel? It's at Terass Hotel. Why is he bringing me to the hotel. I looked at Kylian in curiosity.
"Let's go." He went out from the car as I did too. The doorman opened the door for us as I followed Kylian. This place is so fancy. He stopped at the reception counter.
"Bonsior!! J'ai une réservation pour 2 sous mon nom, Kylian Mbappe (I have a reservation for 2 under my name, Kylian Mbappe)." I was clueless. I saw the receptionist was browsing a book full with names. Maybe he had reserved our table.
The receptionist led us to the restaurant. What I was curious about was that Kylian reserved at the rooftop. That's unusual.
The receptionist opened the door and wow!! What is this? "Prendre plaisir. La nourriture sera servie dans peu de temps (Enjoy. The food will be served in a short while)." Kylian thanked the receptionist. He held out his hand for me to hold it and wanted to walk towards the table. I froze.
"Kylian, did you decorate all this? These candles and all. What's all this?"
"Urmm no. Of course not. I think when I reserve this rooftop for dinner, they will usually decorate it like this." He answered looking confused. He then held out his hand again and I held it and walked towards the table. Wow!! Candlelight dinner.
"This flower is for you. Come and sit." He pulled out the chair and let me sit and then he pushed back. He seated opposite me. I looked around the rooftop. It's so beautiful. Full of candles and flowers and the view was amazing. In few seconds time, a waiter approached us and served our food.
"Hmm it's so delicious. I love it." I said to Kylian who was looking at me smiling. "Ermm why do you look at me like that. Don't you want to eat?" I put down my utensils on the plate.
"I'm full when I see you eating." He laughed.
"No no no. You need to eat. You must be hungry. Here you go. Open your mouth." I held out my hand with a fork filled with spaghetti, trying to feed him and he eats it.
After I was done eating, I was still amazed by the view. Kylian really has a good taste of choosing a place to have dinner. "You want to go to the front to see the view?" He asked me.
"Can I?" I looked at him.
He then laughed. "Of course I can. Go ahead." I stood up from the chair and was walking to the corner of the rooftop. How amazing the view is. I inhale and exhale. It's so calm here.
"Hey!! It's beautiful isn't it?" I heard Kylian's voice from behind as he approaches me. I nodded my head.
"Thank you for bringing me here. Had dinner here. I really love it Kylian." I turned my face to the side as he was standing beside me.
"No problem at all. Err Bella, I have something to said to you. Well urmm I do not how to start eventually." He scratched his head.
I was waiting for him to continue. "Urmm Bella, we have known each other for a month. Well, I think it's time for me to confront you. I.. I love you Bella. I really do. For this one month, we get to know each other, we have a lot in common and ya we really have a good connection. Well, I want to ask you if we can take a step forward. Bella, will you be my girlfriend?" He took out a small box from his pocket. "This ring will symbolize our relationship. With this ring, I promise you that we will be together and I will never leave you at all. In this relationship of ours, I promise that I will not lie to you, cheat on you. I will be with you forever."
I'm speechless. All this while, I have been waiting for him to said it to me. And now, it had happened.
"Kylian, urmm wow err.. before I answer to your question, I just to be clear that if I do accept it, I do not even accept it because I want to overlap your popularity. I do not even care if you are a footballer or what. And I'm not someone who are so desperate to be a popular footballer's girlfriend."
He laughed. "Of course I know Bella. I don't even thought about that when I decided to confess to you." He paused for a while. "So Bella, will you be my girlfriend?"
I exhaled before answering his question. "Yes!!" He was shocked. He smiled at me. He took out the ring and slipped it on my finger. It's gorgeous.
I can felt tears running down my cheeks. "Aww please don't cry." He wiped my tears with his hand. I rest my head on his shoulder, facing the view of Eiffel Tower.
"Do you want to know something Bella, I knew that you do like me."
"Wait a minute, how do you know? I do not told you before." I looked at his face and he smiled.
"Oh really? Then how about when you talked Infront of my face when I'm sleeping at your house." I was shocked.
"You're awake?? No way Kylian. So since that moment, you knew about it?? Oh my god, this is so embarrassing. A girl confess to a guy. Oh no.. it's so embarrassing." I closed my face with both of my hands.
"No it's fine. Besides, at least I know that I'm not one sided." He smiled as he pulled down my hands.
I looked up, facing his face. "When?"
"Hmm.. When the first time I laid my eyes on you. At the cafe." Wow!! Love at first sight. I have no words to respond to him. I just smile.
I then remembered about Neymar and all. "Kylian, did they know about this whole thing?"
He nodded. "Yup. Everyone know about it. Except Stephanie and his boyfriend, Jose. But I'm not sure if any of them have told Steph about it."
Oh hell no man. If Steph knew about it, she will definitely freak out. More worst as compared to when I told her about me seeing Kylian.
After nearly 2 hours there, we decided to head home. I'm tired. Damian was still at the outside of the hotel. We went in the car and was heading to my house.
"How's dinner?" Damian asked.
"It was good. The food was delicious." I answered.
"So urmm Kylian, have you already told her?" I frowned.
"Woah!! You also knew about it?"
"Of course. I'm the one who arranged it. The reservation and the decorations." He chuckled. I kept quiet.
When we have reached, both of us went out from the car. He hugged me. "Thank you."
"Thank you?? I'm supposed thank you for everything. You came for my fashion show even though I know you are busy with your match for France, bringing me to the dinner and of course this ring, and our status. We're officially in a relationship."
"Well, I want to thank you for accepting it. I'm really looking forward of being a boyfriend of Bella Cooper." We both laughed.
"But, there's one thing I'm concerned about. Our relationship. Can we keep it private? I do not want the public to know. Not now. I'm not ready. With all those paparazzi and the public. I really hope you understand."
He cupped my face with his two hands. "It's ok. I understand. We will keep it private until you are ready." Phew thank God.
We hugged each other and said our goodbyes. We are NOT going to kiss. C'mon, we are still getting use to it. Maybe soon.
I entered my house and I was dancing all alone. I was so happy today. Not only I have won the fashion show but also I have a boyfriend. I'm officially someone's girlfriend, after almost 8 years. Finally, my life have filled with an amazing person that I really love.
Welcome to my life, Mr Kylian Mbappe.
