JADENMy fingers twitched from side to side as I watched Isabella examine every inch of my house.As much as I loved watching her expression of awe.I felt nervous.The initial high of having someone over had worn off.it'd been  a long time since I let someone over apart from Robert but even longer since I had a woman over.I didn't know why I was so nervous,she seems perfectly at ease shouldn't she be the one feeling anxious?especially after the incident of my brother's room?I'd left the door unlocked so it was really my fault,but my rash actions didn't seem to have bothered her at all.The woman in question pressed her face against the glass wall that overlook the lake and I wanted to tell her not to smudge it but Instead I managed to keep my mouth shut.she moved into the kitchen,trailing a hand across the marble countertops and stopping by the spice rack to inspect the content,I stayed rooted at the spot whether or
