All Chapters of Tolerating the player: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"So this isn't a bad idea after all" Maya finally commented on our little ice cream lunch outside the sun, we were both seating on my car while digging in a cold Ice cream. I was glad I was able to take her down with an ice cream so next it's to tell her about my plan. "You haven't still told me why I'm here" she abruptly spoke up like she had been wanting to say it all these while but kept on forgetting. "Oh about that.." I cleared my throat while scratching the back of my head. I was never nervous about anything but damn this Bella of a girl is driving me nuts. "I'm listening" she sharply interrupted again, I thought I had tamed her down with the ice cream but it was clear I was so far from being able to even sit her down. Fuck the ice cream. "Its about Bella and I just need your help, you're the closest person she has right now and you know everything about her so apparently you're my only hope in

"What?" She panicked as soon as she heard her name, I stood up from the ground and held her closer to me. She had a confused look on her face while I was lost in her beauty. Everything became slow, she was the only person I seemed to see in the room and even her heart didn't race as fast as it was racing. My whole mind had sunk into her and I was surprised she didn't try to run away or release herself from my grip but I was glad she didn't leave. The DJ started to play a slow music and everyone made room for us to dance according to the schools' tradition where the king and queen are given a special moment to dance before the rest starts to dance. While everyone was focused on us, I decided to use the opportunity to apologize to her. "I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you Isabella and I hope you'd give me one last chance to make everything right" I apologized with in the most sincere and genuine way I have ever

*ONE YEAR LATER* ZACH'S POV It's our one year anniversary and everything has been moving so fast between us, even though we fought sometimes she's still the only one I've stuck with throughout the year and I'm lucky to have someone like her. I pulled by the flower store and searched through for her favourite flower, I would be getting her chocolates too and we would go to a restaurant together after I give her the flowers and bribe her money driven boss at work. The man makes me laugh sometimes but then I'm glad I could easily shut his mouth up with money and sneak Isabella away from work. "Uhm excuse me, you don't have a lily?" I asked the girl who had been staring at me since I got in, she seemed to be working here too. She was still staring at me with a smile on her face and I wondered if she couldn't hear me, I walked closer to her and waved my hands in front of her eyes but

ISABELLA'S POV I watched how he kissed me on my forehead but I felt a sting in my chest maybe this was the feeling of knowing someone you love us going far away from you and you can't just walk up to their house. He left after kissing me and I watched him till he left my sight, I couldn't bring myself to leave the spot but I had to leave, I had to stay strong for him so he'll pursue his career. After all I didn't think there was a lot for me to worry about, I trust Zach with my whole heart and I know he would never just leave me alone or forget about me in Brazil. Even when we were still together in Tennessee I knew he loved only me with the way he avoided other women and he's always with me. I let out a heavy sigh before walking out of the airport, it was still really bright and it was just eight am. I should probably go to my work before my boss gets mad at me. Zach isn't here to bribe him with money anymore and I don'

"It was mum" he said and my anger came back.   "Get in!" I ordered and he hopped in immediately.   "You can't see her anymore Joe, stay far away from her" i warned him and he nodded his head.   I started the car with different hateful thoughts in my mind, I had to turn on the radio to distract me from my thoughts before something bad would happen on the road.   "Isabella?" Joe's little voice squealed my name from the back seat and i looked at his face through the rear mirror. It was clear that he wasn't happy and he was almost in tears.   "What's wrong?" I asked like I didn't know why he was probably sad but I hoped it wasn't because of Fiona because she won't have a place in our hearts or lives because she's dead to me and must be dead to Joe too.   "It's about mum..."   "Joe I warned you to stay away from her and I meant it when I said
