Isabella's POVI was frozen in shock and fear, as I looked at my spilt food on the floor and then back into the space where Ruby stood. Her dreadful words kept running over and over in my mind, as I didn't know what to think or what to do.'' Next time I will not miss,'' Those words of hers were the ones that stood out in my mind, as I thought to myself what she meant by that.Deep in thought, I didn't know how long I had stood there, but soon I heard Mary and Mia's voices calling out to me.'' Isa, are you okay, what happened?'' Mia asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.'' Yes Isabella, what is going on? Why are all these in front of you?'' Mary asked.'' Uhmmm, Hi Mary... Hi Mia,'' I let out nervously, but that was not what they wanted to hear as they continued to look at me waiting for answers.'' I tripped,'' I lied and Mary nodded but Mia looked at me, maybe knowing that there was more to it.'' Oh my dear, this is my fault. I know you were wondering why I didn't bring food for
Isabella's POV I looked at Mia, wondering why she would say something like that. Then I looked back at Manny shaking my head.'' No forget about it, don't listen to Mia, she is just saying nonsense,'' I let out and Manny nodded with a smile on her face.'' Okay if you say so,'' Manny said as he walked over to me, hugging me.'' Manny, what are you doing here?'' I whispered as I looked up at him, and a frown fell on Manny's face immediately.'' Are you saying, don't you want me here?'' Manny asked softly.'' Don't say that, I want you here, I was just asking,'' I let out, holding him as I tried to assure him of that.'' Prove it with a kiss,'' Manny said, and I could hear Mia scoff in disapproval.'' If it is a kiss you want, a kiss you will get,'' I let out, kissing him softly.'' Kiss me like you mean it, Isabella,'' Manny smirked, saying, and Mia sighed loudly.'' Manny, not here because it looks like Mia has had enough of us already,'' I said and Manny chuckled.'' So tell me, why
Xander's POVI couldn't get any sleep at all after my encounter with Bella last night, as I kept on replaying in my head the part where she said she loved me because that was the only good part of last night.And, of course, her other words of rejection were the ones that give me sleepless nights.But I refused to give up on her now that I knew how she truly felt about me. I had always wanted her to love me, I had always wanted her to see me and now that she does, I was not going to let her confusion ruin that for us.She wants to be with me. It was so clear to see in her eyes, so now all I have to do is remind her of that.Since I couldn't sleep and the sun had already risen in the sky, I decided to get on with work.I had been absent for so long, so absent that I didn't even know how my business was doing and my cousin wasn't keeping me updated. But today all that will change because the Draco is back.I took a shower and got dressed. I was still in pain from my injury, but that did
Isabella's POV I didn't know that I was smiling so effortlessly as my gaze fell on Xander in all of his glory, even when he was not trying. He was still as handsome as ever.He looked at me for a while, and the look in his eyes was blissful, but the expression on his face was unreadable.He then broke eye contact with me, looking at Manny.'' Get dressed. We have things to do,'' Xander let out.'' do I have to go, I am spending time with Isabella here,'' Manny said and Xavier chuckled.'' I am sure Bella wouldn't mind,'' Xander let out as he drifted his gaze to look at me.'' I will be fine, you should go,'' I let out, but Manny still looked at me unsure.'' Are you sure?' Manny asked and I nodded a yes in reply.Smiling Manny kissed me, but my gaze was solely fixed on Xander.'' I will see you soon,'' He smiled, saying, and soon he began to walk away with Xander and Xavier.But before they could disappear out the door, Xander turned back to me, giving me one last glance that sent a
Isabella's POVBreathing out, I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge, and looked for where Mary kept the almond milk.Searching and searching, I couldn't find it, so I had to settle for chocolate milk instead.Putting on the stove, I got a pan and poured the milk into it, placing it on the stove, and allowing it to boil.Lost in thought again, I forgot that I had something on the stove, and when I got myself again, the milk was already boiling excessively.Rushing over to put the stove off, I tried to pour the hot milk into a cup.'' You should really let that cool down,'' I suddenly heard Xander's voice, which startled me, where I stood, making me pour the milk that instantly burnt my skin.'' Ouch,'' I cried out in pain.Xander quickly rushed to my side, trying to see if I was okay.'' Come on let's get this underwater, first, it will help,'' He said as he moved me to the sink, running my hand under the cold water.'' Stay, I will get the first aid kit,'' he said as he walk

Isabella's POVXander looked at me intensely with a smirk on his face as I slowly realized what I had just said.'' Said that again,'' Xander whispered, in a demanding tone, as his lips were only a few inches from mine.Swallowing hard, I knew there was no going back now. I was in the lion's den, so instead of running, I knew it was best for me to be eaten by the lion.'' I want you, Xander, make me yours,'' I let out breathlessly and it was all it took for Xander to claim my lips again. kissing me so fervently.I threw my hands around Xander's neck, pulling much closer to him, giving him more access for his hands to explore my bare back.I wrapped my legs around him, caging him in a tight hold, as I deepened the kiss, even more.'' Oh Bella you are going to be the death of me,'' He whispered in between kisses.I didn't know what ca
Isabella's POV We fell asleep in each other's arms, and it was the most blissful experience I have ever had.I didn't know how long I had slept but I soon woke up, checking the clock, and it was almost the break of dawn.I turned to look down at Xander, and a smile crept onto my face, as I watched him sleep, he looked so handsome that I couldn't take my eyes off him.I wished I could spend more time with him, but I knew I couldn't because I was not ready yet for anyone to see me right here in Xander's room. So I knew I had to leave.I kissed his cheeks softly, and as I stood up wearing my clothes, I slowly made my way out of his room.The house was still quiet, as it looked like no one was awake yet, and I was thankful for that.So I quietly walked up to my room, trying not to make a sound.Walking in, Mia was still sleeping. So I breathed out a sigh of relief because I was not in the mood for any kind of lecture right now.I slowly got into bed, acting like I was there all along as
Isabella's POV'' Do you need backup? I know it would not be easy,'' Mia said.'' No it is something I have to do alone,'' I let out with sadness laced in my voice.'' I know, there is no easy way to end things with anyone,'' Mia said as she hugged me.'' Okay, so away from that sad note, what is next for Isander, because my 5 million followers are eager to know?'' Mia said and I rolled my eyes.'' Mia, don't start please,'' I let out, standing up to my feet.'' What? Don't leave me and my followers hanging, we all want to know what is next in this love story of yours,'' Mia said. I scoffed and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door so she would not follow me in.'' You can not hide from me, Isa,'' Mia screamed from the other end of the door and I laughed.Looking at myself in the mirror. I breathed out heavily, wondering how my life had become this complicated. This was not the plan. I didn't plan to fall for the Draco. I was supposed to keep a low profile and then leave when Ja
