"Devon, there is no need to do that. I'll just stay here and maybe do some cleaning while you two are gone." I said trying to persuade him. "Nonsense. Sophie and I would love it if you would join us." Answered Devon with a reassuring smile. Just like that, my afternoon had been planned. "That is sorted then, I'll see you two for lunch." Said Devon already climbing up the stairs. "So, how about we go watch a movie, Soph?" I asked Soph. The next couple of hours flew by quickly with Sophie and I tickling each other, watching two movies, playing tea party, and dress up. At 12:00, I picked a new outfit for Sophie that included a white short-sleeve shirt, and some short black tights that will be hidden very well under the nice pleated, black-and-white skirt I had her wear. I brushed her hair and left it down to complete her look before we sat down for a good game of twenty questions, which is what were currently playing. "Okay, umm favourite colour?" I asked Sophie. "White." I heard
After lunch, Devon took us to the spa as promised and we had a great time, much to my dismay he paid for everything as usual. We got home at '17:30' and by then, I was beat and Sophie had also fallen asleep in the car on the way back. When we got home, Devon put Sophie in bed and received a call right after, which he said was from work. He left soon after claiming that it was something important that couldn’t be postponed. "When is Daddy coming home?" Sophie asked. "I'm not sure, Baby, but I'm sure he'll be home soon." I said trying to reassure her while giving her a hug. It was already '21:13' and Devon was still not back, which I didn’t expect to happen. When he left, I thought it would take about an hour or two for him to solve whatever he needed to solve at work, but now I’m worried that I even called my mom about an hour ago to tell her about the situation and that I would be home late. "How about you tell me about yourself, Miss Sophie? “I asked her as we sat in the living
Isabella's POV I woke up at 05:30 and quickly changed into the clothes I originally wore yesterday. I then quickly looked for a pen and paper which I luckily found downstairs in the living room. I sat down and started writing a short note. Dear Mr Black By the time you read this, I'll probably be at home. Thank you for everything you did for me yesterday and I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this in person because I left so early. Well, I gotta go or I'll miss my train, see you tomorrow and sorry for leaving so suddenly. Have a great day. Yours sincerely Isabella Putting the note on the table, I stood up and rushed to the door before speed-walking to the subway station. 1 Hour later I was sneaking into my house in fear of waking someone. I forgot to tell my parents that I would not be coming home last night so they must have been worried sick, so, I'm most certainly in deep trouble. To both my luck and relief, I successfully got to my room, took a quick shower, and changed into
Megan's POV "Okay, Sister Dearest time to start shopping." I happily chirped already pulling Isabella into the first shop. "Miss Isabell!" We heard someone yell and it sounded like it belonged to a little girl. Isabella and I turned around in unison to confirm my suspicions. A cute little girl was running toward us excitedly. I had never seen her before, but if Isa’s face is anything to go by, she clearly knew her. It must be the little girl she babysits. “Hey, Soph," Isabella sweetly greeted the little torpedo as it crashed against her legs and happily hugged her. Isabella instantly leaned down to the girl's height and returned the awkward, but overly adorable embrace. The little girl took a curious peek at me before shyly hiding behind Bella." It's okay, Soph,” Bella gently reassured the cute little one,” This is my sister, Megan." She introduced me. "Hey!" I enthusiastically greeted," It's nice to meet you." I smiled, but before she could respond, a panicked, chastising male vo
Isabella's POV Waking up in the morning I dreaded seeing Devon today, but unfortunately, I had to face him whether I wanted to or not. So, with a soft sigh, I forced myself to get off my comfy bed at the same time Megan got in. She walked over to me and gave me a hug out of nowhere, completely taking me off guard before pressing a kiss on my cheek. The next three words that left her mouth left me feeling many mixed emotions, namely, shock and confusion beyond measure," It was fate." She sent me a smile before leaving my bedroom with me standing there still trying to register what she meant by what she said. The woman can be creepy sometimes. I hastily did my business so I wouldn’t run late before jumping into the car with Dad who dropped me off at Devon’s house as usual. But unlike on other days, the house looked daunting and intimidating today. Standing outside of that gate filled me with many emotions, it was nerve-wracking, but I found the courage in me to swallow my nerves and
Isabella's POV Hearing him say that made my heart dance with joy and made my mind freeze in shock. How could he say he's falling for me when I've only known him for less than a week? Is it even possible for someone to feel this strongly for another in such a short period of time? As much as I'm happy to hear him say he might be falling for me, the more sensible part of me is saying that he is only saying this because he's vulnerable. This is not how he actually feels, his emotions are all over the place due to his grief. They are practically clouded by grief and he's trying to find a way to deal with it. The realisation that he is only asking me on a date as a distraction from his grief hurts like salt on a fresh wound. "You don't have to say anything back. I just wanted you to know." He gently said while taking my hands into his and giving them a gentle squeeze. What does one say to that? I don’t know what to say. My mind and heart were in so much turmoil it burned turmoil but l
Waking up on Sunday morning...let's just say I was a happy camper. I'm sure my family thought I was sick because they know I am not a morning person at all. My mind kept on relieving the moments from my date with Devon and I still can't believe I had my first kiss on Saturday! It was delicate, sweet, sensual, and passionate. He kissed me as if I was made from China -as if I was the most fragile thing in the world. I felt on top of the world. It's been a week since our date and everything has been amazing. He's always so gentle with me and the way he holds me makes me melt in contentment. Not to forget how he calls me 'Baby', it just makes me swoon...well internally at least. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, I'm over the moon. It’s been blissful. He is everything I thought and more. He's also everything I've wanted in a man and more, he makes me feel giddy and happy at the same time. It’s euphoric, I can barely focus on anything else. My thoughts are occupied by him day and nig
Isabella's POV Megan and I have talked about this for the past two days. She and Dominic actually chat, and they are getting along quite well, she even says that she could love him already which wouldn't be odd thanks to something called a ‘mate bond’, whatever that is. "Bella, someone would like to talk to you." Smiled Megan as she put my phone against my ear. I threw her a quirked eyebrow but shrugged and sighed as I held it against my ear. "Hello." I greeted. "Hey Baby." Greeted a familiar voice- a voice I happened to love. "Hey, how are you?" I cheerfully asked as I put my phone on speaker and sat it on my vanity table so I could continue fixing my hair. "I'm surviving," He sighed, “I miss you, but I respect your wishes to have more time to think." He gently assured. "Thanks, Dev, It really means a lot." I smiled at the phone in gratitude even though I knew he couldn't see me. I swiftly pulled my hair into a messy, low bun to complete my look. "Anything for you,” He respon
