Isabella's POVIf you think I slept after Xander just told me that he is in love with me, then you are very mistaken. Sleep became a stranger to me, and even though I tried my best to close my eyes, begging for the darkness to take me, it was just impossible because all I could hear was Xander's voice saying those words to me.'' Come on Isabella, put yourself together, this might be a drunken mistake. I am sure he didn't mean any of what he was saying,'' I said to myself, but the voices in my head just laughed at me.'' Oh Isabella, stop deserving yourself, you know very well that it is only in a drunken state that a man speaks the truth,'' my subconscious taunted me with its words.'' You know nothing,'' I scolded the voices in my head as I continued to force myself to sleep, but I couldn't, so I stayed awake until the sun rose in the sky.Xander's words still hunted my very being, as I tried to make sense of it all, I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that the most danger

What do you want Manny,'' I asked and he rolled his eyes.'' Wouldn't you allow me inside first? It is bad manners to keep a guest waiting like this,'' Manny let out.''

Isabella's POVManny and I drove in complete silence, so I just drifted my focus to the window as I began to count the trees, houses, and people that passed by.''Okay, are you not going to say a word to me,'' Manny let out after a few minutes.'' I don't do small talk,'' I said, and Manny scoffed.'' Humour me, Just say something because this silence is killing me,'' Manny let out, but I still didn't say a word to him, because honestly, I didn't know what to say.'' Okay, tell me about yourself, Isabella,'' Manny let out as he threw a glance or two in my direction.'

Isabella's POVI froze in shock as it felt like I couldn't breathe because of the sight of him. Xander was in the fighting ring preparing to take on a heavy-bodied man who was much bigger than him, with muscles everywhere I could think of, and also looked so scary. I didn't understand what was going on and I wondered if Manny was seeing what I was seeing as well.'' Manny, are you seeing this, or are my eyes deceiving me,'' I asked.'' Yeah, it is Draco quite alright,'' Manny let out as if he was not surprised to see him there.'' Did you know about this, did you know he was going to be here,'' I asked, as my heart raced out of control and I didn't know why.

Isabella's POVWhen Manny walked up to us, the look in Xander's eyes could definitely kill a horse. I don't know what was going on in Xander's mind but I was eager to know, because he didn't look pleased that Manny was here with me.'' Oh hi Draco, I didn't know that she was with you,'' Manny let out with respect laced in his voice, but Xander didn't respond. He just continued to look at Manny as if he was going to kill him at any moment.Manny shifted his weight nervously from one leg to the other, as his gaze drifted from Xander, then back to me.'' How could you bring her to a place like this,'' Xander let out and Manny looked so confused.'' Don't you know that it is not safe here for her?'' Xander

Right, I am avoiding you," I stated as I squared my shoulders, looking up at him.“ Ouch, that hurts my feelings, but why does it seem like it has anything to do with the fact that you kissed me," Manny said.“ Well, as I recall, you kissed me back, and anyway, that kiss was a drunken mistake, an
