The next day Isabella didn't see Weston at school. It was lunchtime and she looked for him everywhere. When she didn't find him at the cafeteria, she was worried. What was up with him? Was he unwell? A thousand questions crept into her mind and she was very worried and restless all day.

"Somebody's missing someone," sang Anna Sophia in a sing-song voice.

"I'm not," said Isabella, glaring at her. Anna Sophia laughed.

"Caught you. I didn't mention your name even once. See?" Said Anna Sophia with a chuckle. Isabella's face flushed with color and she looked away. She noticed that Cody and Dave were also missing. Something was up and she was curious to know what. But who could she ask? She was sure Hudson knew everything but he would be suspicious if she asked him.

"C'mon spill, girl. Are you missing Weston?" Whisper asked Anna Sophia.

"Not at all. I'm just concerned since he has a habit of get

She had noticed them looking towards her with interest many times but they never came forward and introduced themselves."We need to meet up after school to discuss how to go about this damn project," said one of them. Isabella nodded."Why don't you'll come over to my house?" Asked another."Let's first introduce ourselves. I'm Melinda and this is Kaylee. We know you're Isabella," said Melinda. Isabella smiled."Glad to know your names," she said with a frie

    Weston waited impatiently for Isabella's call. Two hours had passed by and yet she didn't call him. Unable to wait any longer, he started his motorcycle and rode over to her friend's house. Parking his motorcycle, he walked all the way to the front door and rang the doorbell. The door opened and a young girl of Isabella's age peeped out. Seeing him, she froze, her eyes widening with panic."W-Weston, I haven't d-done anything, I s-swear, " the girl stammered."Hey, chill! I'm just here for Isabella. Mom sent me to fetch her, " he said with a lazy smile. Isabella peeped through the door too and was surprised to see him so soon. She opened the door wider."I'm not going home now, Weston. I had just started to enjoy myself. Why are you here? I didn't call you, " she told him. He caught her hand and pu

    "Here, try this too," said Weston, handing her a pale blue sundress."Is this your favorite color? You're selecting only blue stuff for me, Weston. I don't want an all-blue wardrobe, " protested Isabella.Weston looked at the pile of clothes in her hand with surprise. "So which color is your favorite?" He asked with curiosity."Lavender, burgundy, white and black, " she told him excitedly. So from then on, they selected only those shades along with the blue ones of course. Afterwards, it was already evening by the time they returned with all their stuff."So what have you bought for yourself, Wes?" Asked his mom curiously. He had never bought a single thing for himself. Hudson bought his clothes, Cody bought his hair accessories and Dave bought hi

His lips twitched with a happy smile remembering everything that she had written for him. He had learned the words by heart by now and didn't need to read them anymore. His heart started beating rapidly as he stared piercingly at her. Isabella found his behavior strange but she just briefly glanced at him and walked into the kitchen where their mom was."Good morning, mom," she said, kissing her cheek."Blue suits you so much, sweetie," said her mom, appreciating her clothes.

    "Weston, where are you taking me? Everyone's staring, please," Isabella mumbled, acutely aware of his grasp and Fiona's stare."I don't care. You're coming with me, that's all," said Weston, leading her towards Hudson's car. However, before Isabella could climb onto the passenger seat, Fritz beat her to it.Weston glared at him. "Why are you coming along with us man?" Asked a pissed-off Weston. Fritz grinned as he sat there adjusting his seat belt."I'm so hurt Wes. Aren't we like childhood buddies?" He asked, clutching at his heart, melodramatically. Weston saw with horror that Gordon too was approaching his car. He opened the backseat door and pushed Isabella inside. Then climbing into the driver's seat, he sped off before Gordon could reach him.

    "Isabella, give me your hand," yelled a panic-stricken Gordon. Isabella tried to clutch at everything but the slopes were too steep and she couldn't get a grip. Gordon flung his whole body towards her and caught both her hands. He wound his legs around the trunk of a tree to get a grip and pulled with all his might."Isabella, don't give up. Get a grip with your legs. I've got you," he yelled. Isabella sobbed with fright. She didn't want to die. The steep slopes went all the way down and one look had her panicking more. Gordon pulled her with all the strength he had in him and finally succeeded, both panting hard. He pulled her towards him and wrapped her in his arms, hugging her close. Isabella sobbed in his arms, too frightened to speak. He wiped her tears away, trying to comfort her to the best of his abilities."I'm here for you Isabella. See? You're safe.

The love-making this time was more of an exploration, gentler than before. This was what they had been looking forward to since last night. As they lay side by side, gasping for breath, calming their rapidly beating hearts, Isabella couldn't help but feel a tug at her heartstrings when she turned and saw him staring at her.His electric blue eyes looked incredible in the afternoon light filtering through the curtains, his lips pinker from their kisses. They were the most precious treasures to her now just like he was, completely. A surge of love filled her heart and when he rolled to his side to face her, his gaze hooked to her mouth, his fingers tracing their outline, she was lost again."I'm not getting enough of you, Isab

    Before she could protest, he backed her up against the door of the en-suite and cupped her face to press his lips to hers in a hungry kiss. His body was pinned hard against hers and Isabella could feel his muscles rippling with every movement. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip and parted them expertly, gliding his tongue inside over hers. Isabella's brain was turned into mush in anticipation as she clung to him, kissing him back with equal hunger. Would he make love to her here in the shower cubicle?His mouth left hers for a brief second as he pulled the top over her head, discarding it altogether. His smoldering gaze stared hungrily at her breasts covered only in a black bikini top. Bending her neck back, he sunk his teeth into her creamy neck, leaving his mark over her. His fingers unclasped her bikini top and let it fall to the floor. He raised his hooded, hungry eyes to look at the treasure

He asked her with curiosity.Isabella smiled, her eyes lost in the thoughts of her second story. "I started writing a sequel to Faded Dreams. It would be the story of our dreams coming true, of finding one another again," she whispered. Weston looked at her with disbelief."Really? That's wonderful," he appreciated."And what did you do?" Asked Isabella. Weston smiled at her."Missed you, worked, and then missed you more. I'm bored with this job, I want to do something more challenging, " he confessed."Then go ahe

He quickly tied his tie around his neck while Isabella watched him do it to perfection."I'll teach you soon and then you'll be the one to do it for me, " he told her, planting a small kiss on her nose. Isabella nodded."Bye, my little girlfriend," he whispered, planting another peck on her mouth."Bye, Weston, " she said with a sigh."I'll be back in the blink of an eye," he promised, giving her a quick hug. Isabella followed him down the stairs at the same time that Hudson was emerging from his room, all ready for work."Took you long enough to tie a tie?" He teased her.

    The next morning for the first time Isabella woke up to see Weston's face inches away from hers, watching her intently."Good morning, Isabella, " he whispered in a husky morning voice, dipping his head to kiss her neck. Isabella blushed to see him the first thing in the morning. She had wanted this ever since she had returned home."Good morning, Weston, " she answered, closing her eyes as a tremor ran down her body when his stubble grazed her neck. "Do you have to go to work?" She asked eagerly, not wanting to let him go. Weston chuckled."Yes, baby but I'll return early. Will you go out with me?" He asked her tenderly. The soft endearment blew her mind and she smiled happily."Yes, of course, I will. I thought you'd never ask me out!" She said

    Isabella pulled his face closer and latched her lips onto his. Unable to contain himself, Weston immediately took over, his whole body tingling with a flood of heat pooling around his core. Isabella felt burnt by the touch of his heated lips on hers as his arm coiled around her waist while the other tangled into her hair, clasping her tightly to his body.The kiss turned intense, making Isabella throw her arms around his neck, clinging to him, surrendering herself completely.

    Weston's sleepy body climbed onto her bed like every night and soon dozed off to a deep, uninterrupted slumber. Isabella knew that he had come into her room at night but she didn't disturb him knowing that he was still in his sleepy state. However, in the wee hours of the morning, she felt his arms scoop her up and place her close to himself."I love you, Isabella, " he mumbled in his sleep, his fingers touching her neck, stroking it as if searching for something. Isabella knew exactly what he was looking for. The pendant. She never took it off so when his fingers found it, he snuggled more into her and slept peacefully with a small smile on his lips. Isabella sighed when he didn't wake up. She wanted him to wake up and face her, she wanted him to kiss her, she wanted to know what was troubling him, she wanted to know why he was avoiding her. She had waited impatiently for him the whole day and whole
