Chapter Three
It was a beautiful Saturday morning,
repeated my usual morning routines.
I stood before the mirror to recheck my dress once more.
My hair is neatly parked into two pony tails, applied some lip gloss and went downstairs for breakfast getting there .
I heard noises and laughter coming from the living room ,I had to turn and check on Getting there I met Rey with my family laughing
Wow such a beautiful moments going on here
Rey u didn't tell me u were coming
Am sorry ,I wanted to use it as a surprise
Oh !Good morning Dad and Mum
Good morning Angel
Why didn't wake me up when u knew I had a visitor
We are really sorry for that,we forgot
Honey, Your food is on the dinning
"Mum informed me"
Ok mum let me quickly go and eat
Alright Mum,
I eat the food to my satisfaction and went downstairs to my family
I had to sit beside Rey because he was the closest seat ,we talk for almost an hour ,then I heard mum saying
Honey, take Rey to your room with you
What do u mean mum,we are comfortable here
Honey ,I know u are comfortable but u need to go and have some private talk
What mum even saying, she's behave strange
Ok mum ,Rey let's go
We entered my room together,he sat on my bed ,while I sat next to him
You have a nice room 'Rey said
Yeah ,I know
There were silence in the room
Mind if we play a game , since u don't wanna talk
Huuun,okay no problem
What about Truth or Dare
Ok then

We were through with game and it was becoming late

I don't need to go home ,this is home already
what do you mean
your parents said I can sleep over
Moreover I told them it was a sleepover night, since tomorrow is Sunday we would have some time move to talk
I was shocked to hear that ,mum and dad didn't even ask for my opinion
What about your parents , aren't they gonna be mad at you
You don't need to worry about that ,I told them I was sleeping over at a friend's place
We went downstairs for our dinner and watched movies till it was late, we are having our sleep over in the living room , my lil sis said she wanna join us
That gonna be great
I went up stairs to get the beds and snack for the sleep over , Rey said we should have a movie night
Okay no problem
I went to the kitchen to pop some popcorn, went back to the living room and gave everyone there share
Rey chooses the movie titled 'After we collided'
Can't u change the movie yunno , because of Risa ,I said
Why is she that young to watch
Nope ,but I don't like the idea
Ok then, choose a movie your self
I choosesd Risa favourite movie
We all began to watch it and fell asleep
Waking up to the voice of Rey, I slowly blink my eyes open to meet the reflection of the sun dimming in my eyes. The rays which made my vision blur for a while.
My gaze hit the widow, and through the splitted curtains, I could see rays of the sun painting the sky with his beautiful orange colour. Oh God! it morning again.
I sprung my head up to meet Rey pair of eyes lurking into mine and his long lashes blinking like that of a puppy
I sprung my head up to meet Rey pair of eyes lurking into mine and his long lashes blinking like that of a puppy
I could feel his lips coming close to mine
What is going on here? I heard Risa voice
I and Rey quickly separated and sat down
Nothing happened ,and when did you wake up and did you see anything
I didn't see anything,but I saw you two almost kissing
Shush! what do you know about kissing,go to your room and take a shower
After she left, it was only I and Rey left in the room,
Bella what happened between us now was out of mistake please an really sorry
it nothing I understand
Then went upstairs together,he went inside the guest room while I went into my room to get ready,repeated my usual morning routines.
And went to downstairs for breakfast,while eating mum started talking with rey, something she has never done with us, always telling us about table manners
Mum,have you forgotten the table manners u taught us, I said and had to Laugh
Oh thanks honey I totally Forgot
Sounds of cutlery was the only noise breaking the silence as We all ate our food quietly
After the meal,we all went to the living room I was weak and tired and had to go to my room t have some rest,while going to my room I met Rey and Risa talking about something I don't know about
Hi guys, what are u discussing
Nothing, they both said
Ok then, I wanna go take a rest in my room, see ya later
Bella wait, Rey stopped me
Mind if I talk to you privately in your room
Yeah, Let go
We both entered the room and dat on my bed, I sat down next to him, then he started the discussion
Am going back home today, and I would like you to go out with me for dinner, u don't need to worry have informed your parents, and they were fine with it
When did you and my parents talk about this
Yesterday , while I was with them in the living room

Chapter EightIt was finally My Big day,"Happy Birthday Honey", my mom screamed out and scared me the morning of November 18. But it was surprising and nice of her since she wished me before anyone else. It was my eighteen birthday and it was my day. While looking out the big windows in my room, I thought to myself, I will do what satisfies me today, but wasn't quite sure what? I didn’t receive any calls from my friends, or other relatives. Nobody was home either besides my mom with whom I can’t make plans because she got her own work to do. It depressed me because it seemed like this was going to be one boring eighteen birthday.After half an hour of waiting for someone to call and my sister and dad to come home also thinking about what to do. I gave up and went to take a shower. When I came out, my bed was made and my mom called me down for breakfast, which I didn’t feel like having. I just drank a glass of orange juice. My mother went to the porch to sit. After a few seconds I deci

So when are you resuming "Dad asked" "Next two months " Dad decided to schedule a visit for Bowen, and I went with my mother ,dad said he is busy at work . During my visit, I fell in love with the school. It's easy to be star-struck by Bowen, but I was so amazed by the excitement and activity of the university. I found the campus beautiful, was amazed by the diversity, and was pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming friendliness of everyone here. It was on that day that I finally ma
Chapter TenOn the morning after Christmas, the mind drifts back to sweet memories of familial joy, of Aunt Mary who I wasn't able to talk to due to my friends raucous laugh and Uncle Larry’s delightful mirth. Or maybe it’s a day defined more by the fact that Rey and chloe still hasn’t gone home.I secretly long to be at the mall, purging the bad, starting anew, hoping that next year I’ll be a more grateful person. Or get better stuff . Chloe went home already while Rey went to my room to get ready. He came downstairs when he was done the sat beside and decided to break the silence."Issa!" He called my name passionately "Would you like to go on a date with me?, Me, you and food,” He asked. “I’d like that a lot,” i answered . Rey asked: “Lol, the food part?” to which he replied: “The you part. Okay I will"Alright I will pick you up tommorow evening"he said and Gave me a forehead kiss *THE NEXT MORNING* 🌸Isabella POV🌷When I woke up this morning all I can think about is
Chapter ElevenHe leads me to a small table in a quiet restaurant. A late hour for dinner, most of the tables are empty. He pulls out a chair for me. I sits. He sits across from me. The only light is from a few well placed candles. A waiter approaches and, without saying a word, pours us wine and leaves the bottle. No menus. He has ordered for them in advance. There will be no interruptions from wait staff aside from the bringing and clearing of the courses.🌺Rey POV 🌸Iwatched her as she sips the wine. She noticed. And blushed. A shy smile slips out. I loved watching here. A voyeur looking into a secret world. I smiles warmly back as if to comfort here. It does.She began to enjoy his gaze. Soaking it in. Feeling my eyes move over her. From her eyes to her nose, cheeks, lips. The curve of her neck. Slope of her shoulders. Her chest. The tiny bit of cleavage just peeking out from her dress. "Gosh what am I doing?"Again, she blushes. This time. Back to sipping wine.🌷🌺❤️❤️❤️They lo
Chapter FourteenIt was another beautiful morning. I woke up extra early to make sure I could take a shower and not be rushed.My Gown was perfectly ironed and ready to be put on. I planned on leaving soon so I could get to class at least Ten minutes early to ensure I don't bump into Ken or Professor CoxKatie's alarm goes off but she hits the snooze button.

Chapter Thirteen.I got up early in the morning due to an improper sleep during the previous night. It was due to the anxiety to start fresh with my new life. I was determined to be the best in whatever it is that I do, so that I would have something to be proud of in the pages of my life. Due to the fear of reaching late during my first day, I reached one hour earlier than necessary and decided to spend some time at GHS which is located right beside the University. I was hoping that time would move a lot faster because I wanted to find out about what was going to happen next. But it is a common fact that if we are anxiously waiting for something, time would seem to crawl a lot slower. When it was finally the time to head back to the campus, I hoped for everything to go on smoothly, just as how I expected it. I braced myself and went to meet Sofia, who was responsible for the new students, to inquire about my Lecture room. After being instructed on which room to go to, I started walki
Chapter TwelveAfter i drop her at her house I went home, I walked inside and my mom was standing right there.

"Mum,that not necessary ,she just my girlfriend. "Yeah I know I could feel the connection when you two were kissing". "WHAT! were you spying on me again?. "Maybe a little". "How could you?.I'm going to my room". "I'm sorry honey but we are still going to greet them tommorow.""Do whatever you want.
