Is this Love?

“I want you…I want you so bad”. Nathan said, pulling Izzy close to him.  

“I don’t know what you’ve done to me. I can’t get you out of my mind, I can’t stop thinking about you. And in all honestly, I’ve never felt this way for any lady. In fact, coming home with a lady is not something I do, but you captured me from the very first moment. At the bar that day, I was so down and then you came along and brighten my night. I didn’t want to let you go and I didn’t know how to ask you to stay so I decided to come home with you and that had been be the best decision ever. I think I’m falling for you Izzy.”

Some minutes passes and Izzy hasn’t said a word. She’s staring at Nathan and he’s staring right back at her.

“Please say something Izzy. Please.”

“I don’t know what to say to you. This is all a bit strange for me. Nah, I don’t think strange is the word. It’s all very overwhelming for me.”

“Can I kiss you?” Nathan asked with shaky legs.

Izzy stares back at Nathan again for a shorter period this time around and nods her head up and down.

Nathan takes a step forward, slightly pushes her hair backward, holding her by the neck and kisses her gently. Both their eyes are closed.

After a minute or so of such an intimate kiss. Nathan whispers into her ears… “I love you Izzy.”

Izzy is then awaken. “What did you just say?”

I said, “I love you Izzy”.

“I think you should leave. My Mom is around and I don’t want her to find you here. If she does, it’s not going to be any good for both of us. So please. I’ll see you later.

Nathan agrees without any remarks or ounce of doubt as he fully trusted Izzy.

“Okay. I’ll leave now, but please give my feelings for you a thought.”

“Hmmm”

Nathan then turns his back to leave when he felt someone hug him from the back. It was Izzy. He takes in a deep breath and places his hands on her hands that were intertwined on his tummy.

They stay like that for quite a while.

“You better be safe okay?” Izzy says.

Nathan smiles. He didn’t even want to leave anymore. “I could stay like this with you for as long as forever.”

“You’re tripping.” Izzy says smiling.

“It’s true but if you don’t believe me, there’s only one way to find out.”

“Which is?” Izzy is curious to find out.

“Let’s stay like this today”.

“Oh no…. I would maybe love that but Mom’s around and I do have other things to do today so hopefully soon.”

Izzy presses her head on his back and holds him tightly for a second there and let’s him go.

“Gimme your hand.” She says.

Izzy writes her phone number in Nathan’s palm and kisses it.

“That’s my number in case you want to call me.”

Nathan is blushing. “I’m never washing this hand!” He says.

“Get out of here.” Izzy gives him a funny push.

“I’ll call you. I’ll call you Izzy. Nathan whispers in so much joy as he goes down the stairs with all his teeth outside.

Izzy is standing there watching Nathan go down the stairs smiling so wide. As he leaves her sight, she’s still there smiling at the fact that someone so sweet and handsome loves her this much. She swings her hands back and forward as she walks upstairs for her warm up. She touching her cheeks and she says “how come I can’t stop smiling? Aaaahhhhhh this is crazy. ” She runs with full speed up the stairs, almost like she was running from being shy. She does her warm up and returns to the apartment to meet Mom making breakfast already.

“I told you not to worry yourself about breakfast!” Izzy sighs.

“Yeah, but I wanted to so go and freshen up and come eat something.”

“Thanks Mom.”

“When is Bernice coming?”

“I don’t know for sure but probably in the afternoon”.

Okay then.

Izzy walks towards the bathroom door smiling like crazy. She’s touching her hair and spinning like a princess. “I think I need music”. She then goes to the phone and connects it to the Bluetooth and plays ‘imagination’ by Shawn Mendes. Izzy is feeling so loved and sexy at the same time. Mom walks in and stands at the door of the room watching her daughter and she  smiles because she knows her Izzy so well. Without saying a word, she keeps smiling. Izzy is dancing softly to the song on the Bluetooth and suddenly her eyes meets that of her Mom.

“Mom!!! How long have you been standing there?”

“Long enough to know you like someone. So who is it?”

“That’s not it. I’m going to bath.”

“Suit yourself young lady but you seem to have forgotten that I know people and that it’s easy to find out information. I’m just reminding you.”

“Please stay out of this part of my life for once. I don’t want you to know so please, If at all you love me just the tiniest bit, don’t go digging into my business.”

“Your business is my business. Remember that.”

Izzy smiles weirdly. “What was I thinking that this once you would actually listen to me. If you would please excuse me, I need to shower down and get ready.”

“Your breakfast is on the table. You know I’m just looking out for you.”

“Whatever” Izzy whispers as she enters the bathroom.

Izzy was then in the shower when the bell rang.

“I think it’s Bernice. Mom said. I’ll go open the door.”

Mom spaces the couch in order as she walks to open the door.

‘Hi’ he said.

“And who are you and who might you be looking for?” Mom replied.

“I’m sorry. I think I might have missed the apartment.” Having this weird look on his face as he thinks that there’s no way he would have missed the apartment.

“Who might you be looking for?” Mom asked again.

“I’m looking for my friend Izzy.”

“Then you’re in the right place. Please come in.” Mom’s not smiling at all. “Have a seat. She’ll be out soon.”

Izzy is done and she’s out of the bathroom as she shouts.. “Bernice can you come help me out here?”

“It’s not Bernice. Someone’s here to see you.”

Mom and the visitor are both sitted at the dinning room table. Izzy walks to the dinning room just to find……

“Isaac??? What the hell are you doing here?”

“Language! Young lady.” Mom says
