Well, have you ever heard of a chastity belt?

Xx

----------------------------------------------------------

A chastity belt? From the olden days maybe. What the hell is he going on about? Oh no...... please tell me I haven’t fallen for a kinky fucker who wants anal beads and gimp masks. I am definitely not brave enough for all of that.

To: Robert Costa

From: Bella Stone

Subject: huh?

I’m not sure.... I think so? Tell me more

-----------------------------------------------------------

To: Bella Stone

A female chastity belt is worn obviously by the woman, you. I lock you up and keep the key until we are together again.

Subject: trust?

Do you trust me so little that you would want to go to these extremes?

---------------------------------------------------------------

To: Bella Stone

From: Robert Costa

Subject: I trust you

I really do trust you. But its more than that. Okay its a little kinky, but its good fun. It means by the time we see each other, you are totally hungry for me. It makes the build up for you even the more sweeter. I will send you some information on it. think about it.... it will be fun.... I promise.

Subject: Of course

It is 100% down to you. Sleep well princess, and speak tomorrow. X

p.s Don’t forget to hand your resignation in.

---------------------------------------------------------

Oh he is so bossy. I put the mobile down and turn over. I feel absolutely worn out.

CHAPTER 15

At work I logged onto my bank account. The balance reads £2,001,327.47

I refrain from getting on my desk and doing a Michael Jackson move including grabbing my crotch and screaming into the air. I thought it might cause too much of a stir. So I do it in my head instead.

My boss seems shocked at my resignation and gave me a lecture on the future. How I should always strive for promotion and if I was bored I should have said something. I bit my lip as I was tempted to say that I had enough money, but it seemed too crass. I just agreed with him and made him feel as though he was right. We worked out that with my holidays I could leave in 2 and a half weeks.

I was too excited to go back to my desk and work so I went and mingled around the office and told people. It only took 20 minutes for one of my work buddies to make a leaving do date on my behalf and organise my leaving party. Not sure if its because they are glad for me, or glad I’m going. I hope its not the latter, and I doubt it is. I have worked here for years, and made many good friends. But I was ready for change and ready for excitement.

I text Ash.

*Yo sweet cheeks! I have handed in my notice... scary! I will get wine tonight and the take away is on me x*
 

*Yo Bells. Scary? I think not. You have 2mil and the man of your dreams...well jel. Defo wine tonight and I demand gold cutlery with my take away haha x *

Oh she makes me laugh out loud. She is right as well. Instead of me sitting and fretting about what might go wrong, I should enjoy every second for what it is. Chastity belt..... I had completely forgotten. Mind you, I can’t exactly Google it at work even if I am leaving soon. I don’t want them thinking I am leaving to become a fetish queen. I Google it on my phone instead. My word..... it looks scary.

‘Bella what are you up to?’

‘Urmmm nothing.’ Shit, when did my boss creep up behind me. Just my luck that the first time I Google something kinky I get caught out.

‘Why are you blushing?’ Oh Jesus... just to give the game away even if he hasn’t seen what was on my phone. I might as well have in neon lights above my head flashing ‘DIRTY BITCH’.

‘I’m just really warm’.

‘oh’. He strolls off again and I can not help but fall about laughing. Why should I care? I don’t have to anymore. In fact... I have never felt so care free and as though I am living.

------------------------------------------

To: Robert Costa

From: Bella Stone

Subject: Done it

Well I handed in my notice. The boss gave me a lecture.... but was fine about it. But.... I did Google ‘Chastity belt’, saw some images that have scared and scarred me a little and I didn’t notice my boss was stood behind me. Hope he didn’t see..... I am still blushing! haha.

How are you?

Xx

-----------------------------------------

The day goes too slowly..... way too slowly. There are tonnes to do but I haven’t got the inclination. At 5pm I am out of that door en route to the supermarket to replenish our stock of wine. Sod it... I am going to get us some champagne as well. Why not!

Ash bursts through the door, and claps her hands with joy at the sight of bubbly.
‘Oh I forgot to say Bells.... Mr Lover Lover text me last night.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘He text me to remind me to put the alarm on. He is just too adorable’

‘Oh my god, he is the biggest control freak on the planet more like it. Sorry’

‘Oh don’t be sorry I think its cute. Anyway.... when are we going shopping to get you a new wardrobe ready for your trip to Italy?’

‘Shall we go late night shopping after work, then go for dinner and drinks afterwards?’

‘Ok, lets do it Friday Bells.... that way we can drink more cocktails to celebrate.’

CHAPTER 16

I have that Friday feeling and the Black Eyed Peas on full blast. I told Robert about my night out shopping with Ash and he seemed a little hesitant. But I have made it clear that he has to let me live and he can’t lock me up in a tower. He accepted this, well I hope he did. I also told him that he wasn’t allowed to just show up. I would see him tomorrow and spend the weekend with him. He said he had a surprise for me.... with Robert it could be anything from a diamond bracelet to a chastity belt that he was rattling on about the other day. Hmmm I wonder what it is. Do I tell Ash? No... Ash really likes him. I don’t want her to end up like Sarah. Sarah has made her noncommittal feelings towards Robert quite clear. She keeps asking if I am ok and waiting for the doom in my relationship. I wish she would just feel happy for me.

Ash and I get ready and go off late night shopping. I manage to buy 3 tops, 2 pairs of trousers and 4 dresses. I have bought yet more accessories..... I could actually open my own accessories shop with the amount of necklaces, bracelets and giant earrings that I own.

We go into a Spanish restaurant for tapas and sangria. It takes us less than 2 hours to polish off an incredible amount of food. Its like we haven’t eaten for days. The food does nothing to soak up the alcohol and we make the decision to go to the cocktail bar over the road.

I ordered 2 cocktails, and Ash headed for her 5th wee of the evening. She needs to get checked out... she is like a pee aholic. I look at my phone and there is a text from Robert... I smile and feel relieved that he has respected my privacy.

*Hey baby. Are you and Ash ok? Are you having fun? xx*

*Hey Robert. I am having such a wonderful time with Ash. Bought some new clothes for our time in Sicily. Thank you xxx*

*Thanks for what baby xx?*

*Thanks for being you. Thanks for giving me a new lease of life and thank you for respecting my privacy xx*

*No need for thanks. It’s tough to stay away from you, but I understand. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.xx*

*Me too. Not long now. xx*

I put the phone away and I can see Ash’s face turning to a teasing face straight away.

‘Let me guess Bellaroo..... was that Robert?’ she is giggling and poking my arm.

‘Yes it was.... sorry’

‘What are you saying sorry about? You’re my dearest friend of too many years for us to count anymore. I love you so much and I am just thrilled that you are happy. ‘
