MasukIsabella’s POVIt feels weird to be in my old room. I’m not that girl anymore. I’m stronger, more independent, and I’m a woman, not a girl.I told my family I was tired from a tough week at school and the flight home, so that I could go to my room. I wanted to text Zander.Isabella: Hey.Zander: Hey, bunny.Isabella: I miss you already, Z.Zander: I miss you, too. I don’t think Niles is going to cuddle with me tonight.Isabella: At least you have someone to cuddle with, but I’m cuddly AF. LolI took a picture of myself in my bunny hoodie and sent it to Zander.Isabella: Thanks for the hoodie, baby.Zander: Fuck, you look so adorable. My cock just sprang up.Isabella: I wish I were on that cock.Zander: You’re not helping, Izzy.Isabella: Oops, sorry.Zander: It’s ok. All I have to do his talk to you and I think about your body, and bam, little Z pops to attention.Isabella: Umm, he’s not little. Tee heeZander: lmao.There’s a knock on my door. Shit.Isabella: Ugh, I gotta go.Zander:
Isabella’s POVI didn’t want to leave. I want to stay with Zander. When the car service came, I cried. Ugly cried on Zander’s shoulder.“I don’t want you to go either, but it’s only two days, bunny,” Zander said, hugging me. “Just two sleeps, then I’ll hold you in my arms again.”“I’ll probably jump you as soon as I get in the door,” I giggled. “You know that, right?”“I sure hope so,” Zander laughed. “Oh, I have a surprise for you.”“What?” I asked.Zander pulled out a big box with a yellow ribbon and a bow.“You can’t open it until you’re on the plane,” Zander grinned. “Promise?”“I promise,” I replied.“I love you, bunny,” Zander stated, kissing me on the lips. “You’d better head downstairs; the car service is waiting.”“OK,” I sniffed. “I love you, Z.” We hugged again, kissed, and then I took the penthouse elevator down to the main floor.I stepped out of the elevator, walked through the lobby, and straight into Bryanna Carlson.“Isabella! What did you do to your hair?” Bryanna gr
Isabella’s POVThis week flew by in the blink of an eye. I don’t know how he pulled it off, but Zander took me to an expensive salon before school on Monday morning. The salon opened just for me. They gave me the most beautiful bob cut and curled my hair. Zander said, I was a sexy little bunny with my new haircut. Zander passed his paper with flying colors and has been having fantastic football practices since I started going to every single one. The players insisted that I join them at the field level. The coach said he might even have me join the team for away games. I won’t be able to go this coming weekend as I'm off to New York to have dinner with my parents and the DeMarco family tomorrow. I leave at 7:00 pm tonight, and Zander leaves at 7:45 pm tonight for his out-of-town game with the football team.There was no practice today, and as I walked out of the rotunda, Zander was leaning up against one of the lamp posts outside.“Hey, Isabella, do you need a ride home?” Zander calle
Isabella’s POVWe took a car service to the field house to pick up Zander’s truck. Zander actually lifted me out of the car and into his truck.“I can walk, you know,” I stated.“Don’t care,” Zander chuckled. “Actually, let me rephrase that. I care too much about you to have you strain yourself after tonight.”“It’s not going to help if I argue, is it?” I asked.“No, not at all. This boy believes in chivalry,” Zander said, smiling.“I actually love it, as much as I complain,” I blushed.“Good, you have to put up with it all your life,” Zander stated.I sighed as he put me in the truck.“What’s wrong, Izzy?” Zander questioned, puzzled.“Don’t promise me something you can’t give me, Zander,” I relayed. “Antonio showed up at the rally.”“I heard,” Zander said angrily.“He said he can’t wait until dinner next Saturday between our families,” I explained. “Antonio also said that I would be his bride by Christmas.”“WHAT?!?” Zander exclaimed. “No, no, no. That is not happening. Over my dead
Zander’s POV“Well, thank you for all the information, Isabella and Zander,” Detective Pierce revealed. “We’ll be on our way now. Here is my card. If you remember anything else, Isabella, give me a call, OK?”Isabella took the card and nodded.“Thank you, Detective Pierce. Officer Connors,” I stated, shaking both of their hands.After they had left the room, I remembered something.“I’ll be right back, Izzy,” I said, running out the door. I looked down the hallway in search of Officer Connors. “Officer Connors!” I called, running towards him.“Zander, did we forget something?” Officer Connors asked.“No, sorry for bothering you,” I replied. “I was just wondering if I could take a picture of the label of Isabella’s jeans.”“Why?” Officer Connors questioned.“They were her favorite pair of jeans,” I stated. “I want to know the size and brand so I can get her another couple of pairs of them.”Detective Pierce and Officer Connors looked at each other and smiled. “Zander, you are making al
Isabella’s POVI had no clue why I was in the hospital. What I did know was that my head was spinning and I felt like I was going to throw up from the dizziness. Gawd, I wish I could remember what happened. The last thing I remember was eating a hot dog. Does Zander even know that I’m here? I look at the bag of personal belongings that is on one of the chairs. I highly doubt my phone is in there, as it was in the locker at the field house.I heard the door open, but I didn’t bother to turn my head. Probably another nurse coming to check my vitals. My left hand was held and then kissed. I’d know those lips anywhere. Zander. I turned my head towards him.We talked for a bit. Zander surprised me by saying, in Italian, "I love you, bunny."A few minutes later, the doctor walked in.“Hi, Isabella, I’m Dr. Matuszewski, Dr. M for short,” she chuckled. “How are you feeling now?”“Dizzy and a little sick to my stomach,” I replied.“That is to be expected, Isabella,” Dr. M said, reaching out an
