Hi, My Name Is Annabelle Brown but mostly called Belle. I am 24 years old.

My educational status not so cool, I am a highschool dropout. I had 2 brother's one was older than I and the other was younger.

Things smooth not until that bad morning. When Mom told told my dad that she would love to take my younger brother, Daniel , to the mall for shopping dad insisted they wait a bit but mom was persistent, dad had no option but to give her a peck little did he know that was the last time he would see his lovely wife. Mom called George my elder brother but he said he won't follow. She then asked Daniel to go to the car and steam the engine which he did.

Not too long, she joined him... Daddy was reading a Book about the last world war

his favourite

I was with George discussing about his relationship obviously not mine...

Life seemed to be so nice not until the call , the call that changed everything in my home to a shattered one, my daddy shouted thereby calling for our attention on arrival we met him on the ground in tears breaking the news of the accident that took the life of my mom and brother. My elder brother was dead quiet couldn't utter a word, my dad sat on the ground crying, I being the closet to my mom collapesed... " Where am I?"

George : Belle relax you are in the hospital.

" How did I get here? Where is dad? "

" He is fine he was admitted, he collapesed immediately the ashes of mom and Daniel were presented to him".

I then signed knowing fully well that dad is really In a bad condition. So was i, mom is the only one close to me how will I cope, tears ran down my eyes. " Belle, I'd be ryt back." "Okay" was the only word I could mutter. Not too long , I saw a lady in a white dress I guess that should be a nurse, " ma'am how are you feeling?" She asked . " I am fine tnks. How is my dad? Has my mom and brother's body been retrieved"? " Sorry ma'am we could only get their ashes, the accident was a fatal one, no one survived"

" Okay, thanks pls tell my brother I want to be left alone". " I doubt if that would be possible u have a visitor, he said his name is Nate". " Okay let him in, thanks ma'am I appreciate". " You can call me Jane" I smiled, I couldn't surpress the little joy in hearing the arrival of Nate.

No one understood our relationship, some say we are 'just friends' while others say we are 'lovers'. Yes we are the two. Nate has been my childhood friend little by little we grew fond of each other, not until our first kiss which was tagged an ' accidental kiss' he asked me to be his date for our prom that's how it started.

" Belle how are you feeling"? " I am fine". Sorry about your loss I talked with George, Belle, he is losing it we both know how George is when he gets like this". " When will we be discharged, I want to go home I am tired of staying here ".

" I had a word with the doctor and asked him when I should discharge you and Dad he said I can only discharge u, that your dad is ehhmm".

" ehhmm what" " Belle calm down , I need to take u home" " Nate tell me, what happened to my dad "? " Your dad is in a coma, and no one knows when he will wake up". I was weak, shattered is this what my once happy home have become tears ran down my ears. " Please Calm down , I'll take you home George will do all the paperwork and meet us, from time to time you will visit him".

"Why only me? Won't u follow me "? Nate sighs " about that ... Belle please let's not talk about that here ". I wasn't in the mood tho' perherps when we get home I'll have time for that topic.

At last we were home... Memories of my mom and brother still lingered around the house. " Nate please don't leave me". " About that, I am sorry to break such news to you in such critical time... But it won't be nice if you heard it from another"

" Nate you are scaring me , let it out already". " Belle I have been selected among the young men that will go out to fight the war going on in Los Angeles, I know..." " You what? How could you ? What will I do". " Nate please don't leave me" " little miss perfect, I am not leaving you, I'll always be here for you anytime you need me just think of me " " that's a big lie Nate, who will love me and care for me".... After few minutes which seemed like hours Nate broke the silence. " Let's consummate our love... We might not see soon but we will have each other in our hearts". That didn't sound like a bad idea, I am blushing, am I supposed to my mom just died few days ago hmmmn.... " What do you think"? Without me getting a chance to reply I received a heart melting kiss, it was so deep I felt his tongue fighting it's way in, what was I to do I decided to follow him do what ever he did. The kiss lingered then I fight his firm hands on my thigh, caressing every flesh on it then he broke the kiss" Belle do you want this?" Was this the question he stopped to ask me... "? I replied himwith a soft tone yet there were so much meaning to it " yes". Like a lion jumping on it's prey, he unbuttoned my gown, unclipped my bra it was much easier because it's hook was in front... Took my breast in his mouth,,. "Oh my" he sucked it like that was were he got his life from. I felt like he was going to uproot it, unconsciously I felt his hand in between my legs I shivered, he stopped again and asked " should I continue" eagerly "yes" I answered, his hands landed in between my thighs heading for my crotch which my panties covered he shifted it to the side rubbed my clit with his two fingers making me feel hot there when he tried going deep, he realized that der was a barrier their " Belle you are a virgin!" I blushed "I am sorry I should take it easy" that was when I saw his head lowering, I staggered "no, you should not do that" he insisted and placed his mouth on it sucking it, deeping his tongue ... He stood up undid his button, removed his belt, and unzipped." Omo, it's huge at most 7" He laid me down, spread my legs, kissed me then slowly he lowered himself, " aaah" I felt a sharp pain, he was in... My first. He went slow at first before he gave its rhythmic speed, not too long he was close, he pulled out and came on my belly, exhausted he laid by my side, then he slept...

At dawn I woke up still feeling a little sore, I turned but he wasn't there I stood up went to the shower brushed, and bath. I came out, i got dressed in a pink throuser and white top, brushed my hair sprayed some deodorant. I remembered when Mommy used to spray it on my hair and Chase all around the house, now she is gone. I checked in the guest room he wasn't there... I went to the kitchen, there he was looking so handsome, so this cutie will leave me just like that, I hugged him from behind . He smiled, " How was your night"? " It was fine. How was yours"? " Same, I am making your favorite

cheese and noodles

" " Nate when will you be leaving "? " Belle let's not talk about that now okay "

" I'll be going to the hospital today to see ur dad and brother ". " Ok , I'll come along". " No, you rest I'll do that okay " " Nate I can't stay in this house alone, I am scared". He pecked me, dished my food then turned to me, he leaned on the table , dragged me and kissed me . " Belle you know I won't hurt you so u need to understand that the doctor said you need rest, okay".

I just nodded, looked at the man in my presence. He black hair gave him this strict demeanor, with pointed nose, small eyes but sharp and his lips as pink as a new born babies lip, but with a heart of gold, he is so nice . Staring at him I didn't notice him stare back, he kissed me there by gaining my attention. " Are u listening to me? You will eat and rest is that understood"? " Yes"

He had left , I was done eating I went to the room, took a book from the shelf titled ' Ways to mend a broken heart' That book was given to me by my mom... When I lost my first prom date Lol not too long I got another. I looked at the book , opened it then started reading didn't know when I slept...

" Belle Belle Belle wake up". I stretched and turned " you are back , how's dad? Is his health state improving" He hugged me, wait did I just feel tears, I pushed him " what happened to my dad? Answer me". " Your dad is gone, Belle you need to calm down"

"Calm down how? I lost my parents in a week and you tell me to calm down how do you expect me to keep calm". He looked confused and forcefully held me " take a grip of your self Belle" " you don't understand who do I run to? Where do I start from? What about George"? " George left the hospital the very day we did, Belle it hurts to tell you this but you will have to evacuate the house sell it and give you parents a proper burial" I was shocked how could George do this to me for crying out loud I am his younger sister, were did I ever go wrong "Belle what's your say on this". "Not like I have a choice but where will I rest my head if I see the house" ? " I'll find out a place where you can work and rest at the same time so u'd owe no one any favours". He was right I have to work but selling this house with all our memories in it seemed to take me away from my comfort zone. However, he was right I needed to move on.

" Alright do you have anyone in mind"

" I don't understand",

" selling the house"

" I'll handle that ". I hugged him tight " what would I have done without you" ....

Few days had gone by I sold the house with the help of Nate gave my parents and brother a good burial, saved the remaining money . Nate took me to his Nana's house since the house was evacuated after her demise. We cleaned it, what would I have done without Nate he has been there through thick and thin now he would be leaving soon.

" Sleepy head breakfast is served" ohhh it felt so good, it felt like we were a couple, " Belle come and eat" I hurried took my bath, dressed and joined him. While eating he broke the silence " I have secured a job for you, it's really demanding. You will only come home on your off days". Surprised at the rapid improvement, " when did you do all this"? " It turns out that the Man you will be working for is my friend he needs a maid since the last one ran away, so I suggested he let you work". " What would I do without you? " " Nothing" we both laughed, then he came close and kissed me but stopped " Nate what's the problem?"

" Hope you would keep your self for me while I am away? Don't let anyone close to you, I don't think I will leave if I found out another man has taken what belongs to me" I chuckled and replied " no one will do that, okay". " Let's finish up, so we will go to the mall" this young man made me forget all my pains.

We are done with the dishes on our way to the mall... Here we are just the right place . The mall is big enough for one to get lost and there are a lot of people. Nate grabbed my hands so he doesn't loose me just the exact way my on does. He selected white shirts, black skirts and a flat cover shoe with few clothes gave me to try them. Amazingly they all fit like he knows my size just by looking at me, he makes payment gets the bags and we left but not home to the market, on getting there he picked few things and we headed home. We did some arrangements, had fun and rested... I woke up first went to the kitchen had something fixed for both I and Nate before I was done he woke up and came to the kitchen. " Weldone ma'am " we ate. Nate then started " Belle I will be leaving in three days time so I will be taking you to Williams house, but mind you he isn't friendly and he is hardly home so please be careful, he is known for his frivolous behavior am I understood"? " You are leaving in three days and you thought it wise to tell me today, why? " I ran inside lay flat on the bed crying, I was in for the one hour and he didn't come in to plead with me to take it easy, is he tired of me ? Am I being selfish? I later admitted to my self that I was just not being selfish but also I was being a kid it's time i manup and face my responsibility. I stood up picked my box opened the closet pick out few of my decent wears since I would come back there was absolutely no reason to clear the whole thing, I finally packed my uniforms and my shoes. I was done still yet no sign of Nate, not too bothered feeling even bmore tired I went to the bed and slept... When he came in after two hours of thinking he met me sleeping then he left.

He felt I would need to be strong.
