Isabella's POV When we got back home it was already late in the night, and when the car stopped at the front of the house, Xander came down and helped me out of the car as always. '' Thank you,'' I let out as we walked into the house. The house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. I was about to walk up to my room when Xander stopped me. '' Bella,'' He called out to me, so I turned around and walked back to him. '' Here,'' He said, handing me the box with the gun inside. '' Keep it, it is yourself anyways,'' Xander said and I nodded. '' Are you going to continue teaching me,'' I asked, and Xander nodded. '' Of course, we can practise whenever you want,'' Xander answered and I smiled. I know I was adamant at first about learning how to shoot, but I was beginning to like it. '' Sleep well Bella, good night,'' Xander said as he turned around about to walk away. '' Thank you for today,'' I let out, stopping him in his tracks. '' You do not need to thank you, I did what
Isabella POV I woke up with a smile on my face. I was so excited about going to my next shooting practice, Xander said that we could practice anytime and I was prepared to take him up on that offer. ''I never knew that I would enjoy learning how to shoot this much,'' I smiled to myself. '' Or you enjoy the person teaching you how to shoot,'' the voices in my head screamed at me. '' No that is not it,'' I said to myself, as I didn't even know why I was trying to defend myself from the voice in my head. '' We are just friends,'' I said to the voices in my head again, and they laughed, taunting me with their words. '' You heard him very well, Isabella, he doesn't want to be your friend, he wants to be much more,'' the voice continued to taunt me. '' Well tough luck, I am with Manny,'' I said to myself, dismissing the voices in my head, as I stood up to take a shower. ''I will not allow the voice in my head to ruin my excitement,'' I said to myself again, as I walked out of the ba
Isabella's POVI didn't know how long I was on the floor. I wanted to stand up but my legs just wouldn't let me.But soon I felt a hand grip me as it helped me up to my feet. I turned around and it was Xander staring back at me.'' Are you okay? What happened? Why were you on the floor?'' Xander asked as he looked at me with concern in his eyes.I didn't know what to tell him, as I didn't even know if I should be worried by Xavier's words, but that look in Xavier's eyes reeked of nothing but danger.'' Bella, talk to me, you look distraught, what happened, and were you crying,'' Xander moved closer to me, asking.'' No I am fine,'' I lied as I tried to compose myself.'' But your eyes, it doesn't look like you are okay,'' Xander let out.'' Trust me, I am fine,'' I said as I cleaned the tears away from my eyes.'' Then why were you on the floor,'' Xander asked me.'' I was coming to meet you, we were supposed to go to the shooting range for my lesson, when I fell,'' I lied again and I
Isabella's POVI didn't know where Xander was driving me to, he just kept on driving.'' Where are you taking me to,'' I asked, and Xander chuckled.'' Trust me, you will love where I am taking you,'' Xander answered as he glanced at me with a hint of amusement in his eyes.'' Trust him? Okay, I will,'' I said to myself as I relaxed back into the car.'The car ride continued for several minutes until Xander stopped at an uncompleted building.'' Where are we,'' I asked.'' Where are you going to eat the best food possible,'' Xander answered.'' But this is an uncompleted building, and it looks deserted. How can anyone sell food in here,'' I said, and Xander laughed.'' Trust me,'' He let out as he took hold of my hand, and walked me inside.And when I got inside, I froze, as I wondered if it was the same building I saw outside.The inside was beautifully decorated, with so many lights and paintings and soon a man walked up to Xander with a smile on his face.'' Xander, Amigo,'' The ma
Isabella's POV'' What,'' I asked as I noticed Xander staring at me.'' Nothing,'' He answered, as he drifted his gaze down at his phone, but then his gaze came back on me again.'' You are making me nervous, Draco,'' I said as my gaze didn't drift my eyes away from my food.'' It is just strange that you want to know so much about me,'' Xander let out.'' I was just curious, I didn't picture you as a person that could have friends,'' I said.'' Why? is it because I look scary, or is it because I am feared by everything and everyone in this city, or is it because I am called the most dangerous man in this city, which one is it?'' Xander asked, and that was when I dared to look up at him.'' Don't blame me, you have earned your name as the Draco of this city by instilling fear in so many, and by killing people, so don't let who you are, get you mad. I am just speaking the truth,'' I said.'' It doesn't get me mad, I know who I am, and I do not want to change, I am the devil and I love
Isabella's POV If anyone had told me that I will come to enjoy Xander's company, then I wouldn't have believed it. But look at me now, sitting in the same room as him, and I do not want to rip his head out of his body. I felt so relaxed being with him now. And I didn't even know why. We were having breakfast in the dining area. I know it seemed kind of strange for me to willingly have breakfast with him, without being forced to, and trust I knew I wouldn't hear the last of it from Mary. But what can I say? Something between us had changed. I do not even know what it was yet, but it just happened. '' Bella,'' Xander called out to me, breaking me out of my invading thought. I looked up from my food, as I locked eyes with him. '' So are we going for shooting practices today, because I want to take you somewhere else,'' Xander asked. '' No, I do not think that I can come, and it is not like I don't want to, but Mia is coming today,'' I answered. '' Oh, that is today, why so soon,''
Isabella POV ''Hey you must be Mia,'' Xander let out. '' Yes I am, I am sure you know me already,'' Mia asked, but she couldn't hide the fact that she was nervous. '' Yeah, I think I do. I saw you at Bella's apartment right,'' Xander let out and Mia nodded quickly. '' It is good to see you again, Draco, Thank you for having me,'' Mia said softly. '' Do not mention it, Bella wanted you here, so you are here,'' Xander let out. '' And I am sure Bella will show you around and take good care of us. You can stay here as long as you want,'' Xander said. '' I will love to stay, but I have to work at the club,'' Mia let out. '' What club do you work at,'' Xander asked. '' Club paradise,'' Mia answered quickly. '' You are a dancer there as well,' Xander asked. '' Yes I am,'' Mia answered. '' Okay then, do not worry, I will have a talk with Dan, so you can stay here for as long as Bella wants you here.'' Xander smiled and said, as he glanced at me and soon he walked out. '' Oh wow, I
Isabella's POV Mia pulled me all the way up to my room, and when we were in, she slammed the door shut as she looked at me with anger and also confusion in her eyes. ''Start explaining yourself, what is going on? why is the Draco's cousin talking to you like that,' Mia yelled as she looked at me so intensely. '' Trust me it is nothing,'' I tried to lie, but I should have none better than to lie to Mia. '' Rubbish, I know you so well, there is something going on, so start talking, I need you to explain to me what just happened down there,'' Mia let out. I didn't know how to start explaining all that had been going on with Xavier, but the anger in her eyes coerced me to speak nothing but the truth, so I told Mia everything Xavier had done. '' You can not be serious,'' Mia said in anger. '' I am dead serious,'' he told me this yesterday. I didn't know what to do, so I have been trying my best to avoid him. '' Avoid him? Have you gone mad? You should stand up to him like the strong
