ISABEL I woke up to the boys singing a birthday song and flying balloons in my room. Mavis stood by the door playing a violin. And soon after, Bennett, Jane, and Amelia entered my room and joined in the singing. I wiped away a tear underneath my eyes. I was so touched by their gesture. "That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me. You guys really know how to make a girl feel special." I looked around the room, taking in the happy faces of my family and friends. I felt so lucky to have such a wonderful group of people in my life. I couldn't imagine what it would be like without them. "Now let's get this party started!" Jessie exclaimed, clapping his hands together. "I have a better plan for today, let's not be in a hurry." Mavis' brief response enlivened me and brought smiles to my face. "Before we disperse and get ready for the main party, let's share a bottle of red wine." He finished and gestured to Jessie. As the boys looked at each other, I could see the excitement
MAVIS Isabel loved to celebrate her birthday at the Beach. We finally agreed to pull a party at a hotel with family and friends and afterward, we headed to the Beach. We would spend some time together at the Beachside and proceed to a comfortable inn that I had already booked. "If you are planning something very special today, please, allow it until some other time," Isabel said. Did she notice anything? I thought, not knowing that I was audible enough for Isabel to hear me. "Not actually but I'm sure of one thing, you got an engagement ring somewhere, don't you?" My heart skipped a beat as I heard Isabel's words. I wasn't sure how she had figured it out. I did my best to play it cool, but I could feel my face flushing with embarrassment. "What makes you say that?" I asked, trying to sound casual. "It's the way you've been acting lately," Isabel said, a knowing smile on her face. "You've been so secretive and distracted lately. Plus, there's the fact that you talked about pro
NARRATION Isabel and Jane stepped through the door, their arms full of shopping bags. They had spent hours exploring the shops and browsing the racks, looking for the perfect outfits. They had been so absorbed in their shopping that they had completely lost track of time. It wasn't until they got home that they realized that everyone else had already left for the party.Isabel's heart sank as she realized that they had missed the start of the party. She looked at Jane, who was equally confused. They both stood there in silence, thinking of what to do first. Isabel turned to Jane. She tried to make her voice steady despite the turmoil she was feeling inside. "Why don't you go and change into your new dress?" She suggested. "I'll meet you outside."Isabel immediately put on her beautiful dress and stood before the mirror, admiring her reflection. The dress she wore was exquisite, elegant, and beautiful. It was the perfect choice for the party Mavis had picked it out, especially for her
NARRATIONIsabel took a deep breath as she stepped out into the night. She tried to ignore the knot of worry in her stomach as she walked towards Mavis's car. She felt terrible about Jason's presence at the party and she wasn't ready to face him, he was her greatest nightmare. He broke her heart and she wasn't ready to cry all over again. The last thing Isabel wanted was to see Jason. He had been the cause of so much pain in her life, and she had finally started to move on. The thought of having to face him again was too much to bear. She knew that if she saw him, she would fall apart. She couldn't let that happen, not here, not now.She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize she was shaking until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She spun around, her heart in her throat."Are you okay?" Estelle asked, looking a bit concerned. "Oh, Estelle. I didn't know you followed me here." She said, blinking off her tears. Estelle took Isabel's hand, her eyes wide with surprise. "
NARRATIONWith a collected composure, Estelle made her way to the table where the guys were drinking. She was determined to achieve her goal, and nothing was going to stand in her way.When Estelle reached the table, she was shocked by what she saw. Mavis was engaged in a physical altercation with Jason, and it looked like the later was getting the worst of it. His face was bruised and bloodied, and Estelle could see that he was in pain."What's going on?" she asked, taking Mavis'hand. "Mavis, what happened?"Mavis turned to her, his eyes filled with rage. "He insulted Isabel," he said in a low but dangerous voice. "I won't stand for it."Jason, his face bruised and bleeding, looked up at Estelle. "He's lying," he said, his voice weak and pained. "I would never say anything to hurt Isabel."Estelle looked back and forth between the two men, trying to make sense of the situation. Something didn't feel right. Mavis seemed too quick to anger, and Jason too quick to defend himself. She nee
NARRATION Mavis drove through the Beachside. He was looking for a place to park his car, but he couldn't help but admire the beauty of the scene before him.He spotted a small parking lot and pulled in. He shut off the engine and turned to Isabel. "Are you okay?" he asked. Isabel forced a smile, trying to hide the turmoil she was feeling. "I'm fine," she said. "Let's just step out and take a walk around."Isabel's words were tinged with sadness and disappointment. "I thought today was going to be a special day," she said. "I thought it would be a day of celebration, but instead, it's been one disaster after another."Mavis reached for her hand. "I know it's been a tough moment," he said. "But it's not over yet. Maybe we can turn it around."Isabel gave him a weak smile. "I don't know how," she said. "I feel like I've lost my spirit.""See the area over there?" Mavis pointed out to the Beach. "I do," She replied."What do you see there?""Umm, wow, what a beautiful Yacht, it should
NARRATION Mavis wrapped his strong arms around Isabel and carried her up the stairs of the yacht, like a prince carrying his princess. Isabel felt weightless in his embrace as if she were floating on air. They reached the top of the stairs and Mavis gently set her down, never breaking their gaze. Mavis' eyes never left Isabel's as he descended the stairs, his fingers holding the zipper of his jeans in place. He reached the bottom of the stairs and dashed to the other side of the room, reaching for a small box that was hidden under a chair. He picked it up and hurried back up the stairs, his heart pounding in his chest. Isabel's eyes followed his every move, her curiosity growing with each passing moment. She couldn't help but wonder what was in the box As Mavis opened the box, Isabel's eyes widened in surprise. Inside were items she would have never expected: a chain, a lock, a rope, and a blindfold. Her heart began to race, her mind spinning with questions. What did all of thes
ISABELThe bed in the room was a sight to behold. It was the center of attention, standing tall and regal with its intricately carved headboard and footboard. The fabric canopy draped down, adding a touch of elegance to the already luxurious bed.I gasped in surprise as Mavis lifted me effortlessly off the ground, his arms wrapped firmly around my waist. He carried me toward the bed like a prize. I felt a sudden desire as he laid me gently on the soft mattress, his eyes filled with an intensity that took my breath away."You are so beautiful," he said in his husky voice. "I've waited so long for this moment."He made toward the box he brought in earlier and began to pick out the items in it. Mavis moved away from the bed, his eyes never leaving my face. He reached for the box that he had brought earlier, and I watched with anticipation as he began to remove items one after another. First came the rope, which he coiled in his hands, running his fingers along the silky length. Then he
