Braxton-This was the time to ask her if I was going to do so. For the past thirty minutes, I have been trying to figure out a way to ask in a way that she wouldn’t reject me. I thought about waiting until we were on the plane, but right now at this moment, I felt confident enough that I didn’t think she would refuse.Now that I was put on the spot, my brain acted as if it were in shutdown mode. Every thought or idea I had of how I was going to ask her, completely disappeared. Who would have thought that given the opportunity to ask her my brain would become fried in an instant?“What were you going to ask me?” Izariah pressed when I still hadn’t said anything.Knowing that the only way I was going to get the question out was to just get it out there and stop thinking about it so much. “I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend.”The look on her face as she stopped walking made me realize that I had asked too soon. Her eyes were wide, and her mouth was parted slightly. Then there was
Izariah-“She had an appointment this morning and I just gave her the green light to be able to get on the plane to return home. Is something wrong?” The doctor asked instead of me.I wasn’t sure how to respond to him. He looked as if he was ready to burst. The veins in his neck were protruding and his face was red with a hint of purple. The sound out of his mouth also sounded more as if he was a beast and not a man.“Then we are getting on the plane in one hour. Let’s go!” He demanded.Before I could stop him, he lunged forward and grabbed my wrist, and jerked it toward him. I struggled for a second until I realized that it was pointless. My arms hurt as he pulled on it as we left the hospital, but I had to just bear with it.I did my best to keep up with how long his legs were and how fast he was walking, but I had to jog to keep up with him. I wasn’t sure what was going on with him unless it had to do with me telling him that I wouldn’t date him. I had a challenging time believing
Izariah-“Careful!” I warned her when she wrapped her arms around me and squeezed tightly.“Oh right. I heard about what happened. You are the talk of the school right now. They have an ongoing bet on whether you are going to return. A lot of them don’t think you will but their reason is that they don’t think you belong here.” Millie said with sadness in her eyes.“Don’t worry, I am going to prove them all wrong. Who says someone like me can’t get the education they get?” I smiled at her.I really have missed her, and wished we were able to spend more time together. Yet right now, I couldn’t because I need to get ready for work. Grabbing my bags, from where the driver placed them, with Millie carrying one, we went to our room.“Tell me all about your trip.” Millie rushed out in one breath before the door shut behind her.“I will tell you about it later, I need to get ready for work.”“Can I join? I have a little experience with work. My family believes that I needed to learn how to wo
Braxton-“She is back.” Sebastian said as soon as they walked into the clubhouse.For the last few hours since returning, I have been sitting here going stir-crazy. I wasn’t sure what to do and I was afraid to leave the clubhouse with the chance of running into Izariah. I can’t seem to get her out of my head, no matter what I try.“What do you mean she is back?” I asked, looking from him to Jace who looked as if he had just seen a ghost.“Who do you think?” Lex said, joining in as he came in the door from behind them.My first thought went to Izariah because I was sure it was about time for her to get off work. That and she was the only female I had on my mind right now. I didn’t understand why Jace would look as if he saw a ghost if it was Izariah though.“Jace’s love interest.” Lex laughed, shoving Jace in the arm playfully.My lips curved into a smile at the idea of having Rachel back. As long as she was back then Jace would leave Izariah alone and then Izariah could see that she h
Izariah-When I arrived at the party the next day, I felt completely out of place. I hadn’t seen Jace yet and I kept getting stares from everyone else. The only reason I even decided to come here was that I was told that Jace wanted me to come.“Why is she here?” I heard someone ask, but I didn’t look to see who said it.“Maybe she is here as the maid or to serve us. That is the only thing that would make sense.” Another person said with a snicker.I wanted to turn around and leave, only because I had been under the impression that this would only be a small gathering. It wasn’t like he specified, so it was my fault for not thinking that a party to them was nothing compared to the parties I have been to. There had to be at least three hundred or more.The house was flooded and so was the front and back yard. That was saying a lot since this house was humongous. I could fit my entire pack inside this house and still have room for the neighboring pack.“I didn’t think you would make it.
Izariah-“I think this will look beautiful on you.” Rachel held up a light blue dress with a glittery mesh overlay. “It will bring out your eyes more.”I wasn’t sure if it was something I should wear, only because it looked like it cost thousands of dollars. In all my years, I have never owned anything or worn anything remotely that expensive. I was worried that if I did wear it that I would end up ruining it.On the verge of turning down the dress, I was given no chance to do so when she shoved the dress into my hands and started shoving me to the bathroom. Knowing I didn’t have a chance of getting out of this, I put the dress on. Stepping out of the bathroom when I was done, I felt awkward in the dress.“See! Just as I suspected, you look stunning.” Rachel spoke with a level of excitement that made me feel a little better.Walking over to the mirror hanging from the back of the bedroom door, I looked over myself. I looked like a completely different person. Rachel did have a point a
Braxton-When the door opened, I lazily looked up to see who entered. It was just Rachel, so I looked back at the pool table, where it was my turn to shoot the ball. I had already figured out which ball I was going to try to get in the pocket, so all I had to do was line up my shot.Leaning over more, I steadied the hand that I was using to guide the stick. Bringing my eye level down, I took my aim. Just as I was about to hit the ball Lex let out a slow whistle, I once again glanced up.What I saw shocked me, and I ended up jerking my hand that was holding the base of the stick. Rachel had stepped aside, and Izariah was standing in the doorway, looking gorgeous. If I had known she was capable of looking this good, I would have done things differently.A single word raced through my mind on repeat, and I couldn’t ignore it. Mine. It wasn’t even my voice that I was hearing, it sounded more like a wolf, if wolves could talk. I wouldn’t even say the word had been spoken, it was more like
Izariah-I was surprised that Braxton didn’t return, although I was a little curious as to why. This was his party, and it was clear that he had intended to make me suffer again today. For him to disappear and not return with Rachel was a little unsettling.I tried not to let it bother me as I hung out with Rachel, Jace, Lex, and Sebastian. The more I spend just talking and joking around, I found out that they all had their own unique personality. It was what made them who they were.Sebastian was the serious and quiet type, while Lex was the outgoing and flirtatious type. Jace was a little more difficult to figure out, but I did know he had a big heart, but he was also very guarded. It was like nothing could get to him, at least not that he allowed others to see.Rachel on the other hand was very sociable, smart, kind, and seemed like she was always happy. An hour had passed since she returned to the room with us, without Braxton, and in that time, I found a new friend. Not in the, w
