BACK TO STRANGERS

ISABELLA As I quickly moved away from Zade, a wave of embarrassment washed over me. I couldn't help but hope that my mom hadn't witnessed the exchange, or worse, that she wasn't jumping to any conclusions. Panic began to set in as I thought about how she'd react - she'd be furious, and I'd have to apologize profusely. My mind was racing with different scenarios, but before I could process any of it, my mom's next words cut through my thoughts."Oh, Bella and Zade, it seems like you guys are getting along quite well," she said, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I realized I must have misread the situation earlier, and I released a breath I didn't even know I was holding. Zade didn't seem fazed by the situation before my mom spoke . I wondered if he thought it was normal to have a romantic relationship with his step-sister. Did he not consider the potential consequences or the unconventional nature of their relationship? Or was he simply c

Awkward Dinner

ISABELLA The dinner was super awkward, and we barely said a word to each other. The only sound was our spoons clinking against the plates, which was kinda weird. But honestly, it was better than trying to make small talk and having an uncomfortable conversation. The whole vibe was just really tense, and I was feeling pretty uneasy. Sam attempted to break the silence, clearly uncomfortable with the quiet atmosphere. “Bella, have you settled in okay?” he asked, and I initially responded with just a nod. But when my mom shot me a warning glance, I knew I needed to play along. “Yes, Sam, thanks for asking,” I said with a hint of sarcasm, almost rolling my eyes in annoyance. Zade remained silent throughout dinner, not even bothering to glance my way. He just kept eating, his expression unreadable. My mom picked up on his unusual mood and tried to break the ice. “Zade, are you enjoying your dinner?” She was clearly proud of the effort she'd put into cooking. But Zade didn't even l

Surprising

ZADE I didn't want to be doing this. The words hung in my mind like a reluctant confession. Whatever "this" was, it felt like a burden, a weight I carried with each passing moment.The reluctance seeped into my bones, making every step feel like a chore. I trudged along, driven by obligation rather than desire. The thought of continuing down this path filled me with a sense of dread, a feeling that I was trapped in a life that wasn't mine.As I stood there, frozen in the moment, my gaze became inexorably drawn to Isabella, her presence radiating an otherworldly aura that seemed to command my attention, and it was her eyes that truly captured me, those beautiful, shimmering orbs of light that sparkled like diamonds in the sunlight, holding me spellbound in their mesmerizing depths, as if the very essence of her being was distilled into those two glittering pools of blue, inviting me to lose myself in their tranquil beauty."My heart heavy with resistance, I felt the weight of duty set

A POETIC DREAM. ( This chapter is just poetic no drama)

ISABELLA I stretched, feeling the warmth of the bed and the softness of the blankets. As I sat up, I noticed a note on the bedside table. It was from her, written in her familiar handwriting."Good morning, sleepyhead," the note read. I smiled, feeling a warmth in my chest. I folded the note and tucked it into my pocket, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. I couldn't wait to see her again and continue where we left off.I sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes, trying to shake off the haze of sleep. As I looked around, I realized I was in my own room, surrounded by familiar walls and furniture. But as I thought back to the previous night, I couldn't quite piece together how I had ended up there.I vaguely remembered watching movies with her, laughing and snuggling on the couch, and then... nothing. My memories seemed to fade away, leaving me with a puzzled expression.I threw off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed, planting my feet firmly on the ground. I stoo
