"Are you okay?" Isabella's trans of thoughts broke as a smooth voice asked.
Isabella looked up to a gorgeous pair of grey eyes looking down at her. He was so close that she could smell his lavender perfume with his minty breath on her face.
She kept staring for him for a couple of moments before she suddenly backed away.
"I didn't mean to scare you, I was just wondering if you are okay?" He asked smoothly.
She was mentally cursing herself for behaving like a stupid teenager. she was sure that he didn't give a reaction because she already looked quite worried but the slight smirk on his face was a clear indication that he had noticed that she was gawking at him.
What the hell was he even doing here and asking if she was okay or not.
He was missing from last 60 hours. he disappeared on the night two days ago and then didn't come back until today.
Dexter McCoy was known for his indifference and ignorance to those around him. He barely ever tried to strike up communication with anyone and whenever talked to replied with only one word, which made her wonder did she look that stressed that he had taken the impossible move of asking her if she was okay.
"Hey!" He said waving his hand in front of her face.
When Isabella looked up she realised that he had maintained some decent distance between the two of them and regretted the choice of being scared and backing away.
"Y.. yes! I ... I .. am fine" she stuttered.
Dexter looked like he was about to comment something with the smirk on his face but maybe the worried expression on her face made him think twice and think against it.
"What has You worried! little one" he asked instead, that pissed Isabella.
She was not little, she was 17 and reached around 5'5.
"I am not little" she replied annoyed standing up and that's what made her realise how annoying yet true his statement was.
Just as she stood up he also got straighter from his bending position. His silky hair tossed up as he stood straighter He was somewhere around 6 feet which made her indeed look like a little one in front of him.
He just smirked as the realisation dawned on her face.
"Whatever" she replied annoyed.
"You ignored my question sweetheart!" He commented making her heart flutter.
"I lost Sante's thanksgiving present" she commented in a low voice.
"Sante is my ..." Before she could continue he Cut her off.
"The twins, your younger siblings right? Sante and Lucas! The Reckless havoc maker and the nerdy boy" he commented.
"He is not nerdy! He's athletic too" Isabella complained stomping her feet.
"And you say you are not a little kid and then you stomp your feet like one" he laughed and it was melody to her ears.
She was mentally cursing herself again. Which 17 year old girl storms her feet and behaves like a kid in front of her crush.
"How do you even know them?" She asked confused and also trying to divert the subject from her. It wasn't like Dexter didn't notice her dual intentions but he let it slide.
"They are nice to talk with unlike the Snoopy elders of this town" he replied clearly annoyed and Isabella let out a fit of laugh.
Dexter watched her with surprise for a few moments before he started smiling himself looking at how beautiful she looked when She laughed.
"You can just Buy her another present" dexter suggested when she stopped her laughing fit. This got her annoyed, It wasn't like Dexter knew everything that was happening in the house so he was not supposed to understand it but somehow all the wrong things that Had happened in the day finally got to her.
"Forget it you wouldn't understand" she said annoyed before she turned out to walk inside her house.
What was she even thinking? talking to him in the middle of the street so that she becomes the next topic of gossip in the entire town.
Her journey towards inside was interrupted when he held her hand touching her for the first time as the sparks flew throughout her entire body and her tummy felt weird with all the butterflies flying around.
He forcefully turned her around pulling her close.
"I wouldn't! Would I? I think I will if you try to explain sweetheart" he said, But the smiling and cheerful aura left his face and everything that was left was darkness and anger in his grey orbs.
Before she could say anything or try to pull her hand away from him his phone rang and he himself left her hand. Picking up his phone he replied with a single word.
"Coming" And then he left.
Isabella waited for next complete year hoping that he would come around. She told Her self every single day that maybe he had just disappeared for a while and was going to come back but he didn't and she couldn't help but blame it on herself and her rudeness that made him drive away from this town. She was not in the cool to talk with kind of group that her younger siblings were in, she was in the Snoopy Elders group.
On the Thanksgiving day she was more depressed than she had ever been in her entire life.
On the Thanksgiving day she was more depressed than she had ever been in her entire life.Isabella was sitting in her room cursing herself for being so stupid and naive.One year of loving the guy from afar and now when he was finally there to talk to her she had to be rude and drive him away."Come on honey we are about to open presents!" Mrs Parker knocked at the door asking Isabella to accompany her downstairs."I am coming in a moment, mom" she replied.With the havoc of dexter disappearing after the conversation, Isabella couldn't think of anything else, not even to the point where she would have bought any single normal present for Sante. She just had one present and two siblings waiting downstairs.Just like she had predicted some Snoopy neighbour had gotten hold of her and dexter having a conversation and reported it to her mother and father.Her father had always been pretty uninterested in her business which meant he neither
"Ofcourse" Isabella replied squeezing her palm in assurance."The food is here" Lauren's joyful voice broke the conversation between the two.After handing over burger, fries and a Coke to Isabella and a grilled sandwich to Marissa. Lauren had gotten herself a pizza.Once they started munching on the respective food It was Lauren who broke the silence."So what are you all doing for winter vacations?"They had a revision test scheduled on Monday and the winter vacations were starting from Tuesday.Although Lauren had asked the question to everyone, it was pretty clear that she and Marissa were going to do the same thing so the question was basically directed towards Isabella."Oh me! I am planning to surprise mom, dad, Sante and Lucas by going back home for the vacations" Isabella Replied with a chunk of burger in her mouth."What are you and Marissa doing?" Isabella asked."Obviously our parents want us to come back for
And Isabella herself loved the idea of having the two of them as a roommate but Mrs Parker was not very happy to comply.Mrs Parker was not very happy about whom Isabella was going to live with and she didn't want their company to affect her academics and therefore denied the whole idea.It wasn't Marissa that Mrs Parker had a problem from but Lauren. The first time Lauren met Mrs Parker, Based on her decision of wearing a small crop top with leather pants and jacket and the bold lipstick and her Fiery dyed peacock green hair made her decide that her daughter had chosen the worst possible company and she would never allow the two of them To Stay friends, sharing apartment was a different story.That was the reason Isabella barely mentioned Lauren's name whenever she was having a conversation with her family. her family conversations whenever happened were always talking about her academics and how they were going and whenever she had to mention going out somewhe
"Of course" Amanda exclaimed before she ran off on the opposite direction.Isabella's phone Ping as an indication that Amanda had texted her address so she booked a cab and started her journey towards Amanda's apartment.By the time she finally reached there it was 4 PM which meant that it had taken her approximately one hour to reach here and she just wondered how exhausted Amanda might feel travelling so much every day. This might be the reason that she missed so many classes.These were the thoughts that finally led her to think about how grateful she was for having such great parents. Her parents always provided her with everything she had ever wanted but sometimes she wondered what would it like what would it be like to be free, to make your own decisions and to go when ever wherever you likedbecause even though her parents provided her with everything there was a cost to it and that cost was her freedom. she couldn't make a single decision in her lif
Once done with the Voice Mail Isabella was about to leave when she heard the front door being shut and she predicted it to be the landlord. Not wanting to be alone with whoever had arrived she decided to rush out.She barely knew this place. And maybe the fear of being in a foreign place was finally getting to her because she felt her nerves antsy.She walked out towards the hallway to tell the landlord that she had kept the money and now she was leaving but when she reached the hallway there was no one.She felt chills run all through out her arm when her Side vision made her see a black silhouette.Unfortunately before Isabella could make a move to run or to scream A cloth went right at her nose.She started struggling against the man but he was a very strong she stopped her breath just so the chloroform wouldn't work but she couldn't hold it more than a minute or so before she ended up breathing in the chloroform and fainting right in his arms.
Isabella woke up with the pounding feeling in her head. It took her a couple of minutes before she could finally open her eyes and when she did, bright sun rays hit her in the face so hard that she had to cover her eyes with her palm for a few minutes before she could see.she could finally hear all the voice shouting and someone roughly tucked her by her Arm making her stand-up."Get up! The boss will be here any moment""Leave me! let me go! what the hell are you doing with me?" She shouted but paused when she realised that her was the only voice audible in the room.Rest every other girl was complying stupidly to what ever the men were saying. After her forceful and loud shout it made all the men and the other girls in the room freeze and look at her in shock.Like it's my fault that you are used to being kidnapped. Isabella mocked them all mentally."Shut up and stand straight" the tall lanky guy told her."Like the hell I would"
"The girl in the black Hoodie, stays everyone else LEAVE!" He commanded.Isabella looked all around hoping to see another girl with a black Hoodie on but found none of them as she looked up and saw him looking straight at her.All of them started slowly to filter out of the room except for her Marco and Alex."You are following me!" Marco commanded."No I'm not!" Isabella replied As Alex's face morphed into shock but Marco smirked at her.That smirk reminded her so much of dexter."What" Alex shouted."Are you deaf or anything? I am not following him anywhere! I am not following anyone anywhere for that matter. I have no clue why all these girls are following your commands and agreeing to the point that you own them but you do not own me. I am done behaving like a slave" She answered in a strong voice even though she was shaking from within."The audacity" Alex shouted before ready to charge at her."You can leave Alex"
He finally stopped at the bedroom Throwing her on the bed."LET ME GO" she shouted half scared as the man dragged and shoved her on a bed, she presumed.Obviously she presumed, she had a blindfold on from the moment she was shoved on his shoulder."The sooner you stop fighting the better for you" he replied in a calm voice. His voice did something to her. She held her tongue for a minute, not because she was going to stop fighting HELL NO! But because of what his voice reminded her of!His touch wasn't foreign neither his voice. WEIRD!"Didn't think that would work" he chuckled."IT DIDN'T you idiotic pig" she shouted struggling as he laughed."Glad you are finding my misery funny" she growled."No wonder Alex wanted to feed you off to his Piranhas" he laughed.Her entire body stilled at the thought. They wanted to kill her? but she couldn't hold her tongue now could she?"Then what am I still doing here?" She sas
