Isabella's POV
I think too much. It's exhausting. Usually, I'm consumed with non-stressful thoughts of my life. But there's been a breach. Ever since last night staying over at Carter's, I've analyzed every nook and cranny of why Carter and I didn't have sex. I mean we made out alot, we both had an orgasm but we didn't actually have sex. I should feel good about everything but it's only meant to be sex between us, he said so and I agreed.
But being comfy with him in his penthouse, just watching tv and eating looks dangerously close to a relationship. When I wake, Carter is already up sitting up on his bed beside me reading something on his iPad with his full concentration. It's Sunday, I have dinner with my dad and grandma later so I should finally be going home. Rest a little before I head over to my father's place."Good morning," Carter says droppinCarter's POV I lay next to Isabella listening to the soft sounds of her breathing. She was warm and soft against me and I was gripped by an odd contentment.I do not cuddle or have sleep overs with women. I do not as a matter of fact bring women to my apartment but with Isabella I wanted to do things different and I don't know why.I glanced at her closed eyes, at her tousled hair and the swell of her breast pressed to my side. I had imagined that after spending a whole day with her, fulfilling my initial lust for her, I would gain control of this seeming obsession, that I would be able to settle and treat this as other sexual arrangements I have had with women in the past. If anything, spending more time with Isabella had only sharpened the edge of my arousal for her. I am hungry for more. In no way had fucking her diminished my burning need for he
Isabella’s POVAfter Carter came to my desk earlier, I was bombarded by questions from my co workers.Apparently he has never been to anyone else’s desk, he practically just summons people to his office.“What was that about?” Ryan asks, he sits desk to me.“Nothing, he just wants an update on the program I’m working on.” I say lying.“Okay, I was almost scared for you.” He says.“Why?” I ask.“Thought he was going to fire you, he always looks so so serious.” Ryan explains and I nod okay.By 5pm I go to Carter’s office, he had asked me to wait for him there.His secretary directs me inside, telling me he’s still in his meeting but he said I should wait for him.I sit down then stand up, nervously waiting for him. You would think I wouldn’t be nervous around the man after
Isabella’s POV The next day I’m super nervous and anxious just waiting to be called to Carter’s office so he can officially tell me he knows everything about me, after the paparazzi debacle last night.But I don’t hear from him all day during office hours, I do receive a text message from him though telling me he’ll stop by my apartment after work.So when I got home, I took a quick shower and change into something more comfortable. Shorts and a T-shirt. I tell the doorman downstairs to let Carter up when he arrives, I had just settled in my couch looking for what to watch when he arrived.“Hi.” I say smiling nervously leading him into my apartment. “Do you want something to drink?” I a
Isabella’s POVBy the next day I’ve rattled myself immensely with overthinking. What the hell is going on between Carter and I? Do I want something more and can I even have something more.I don’t see him at work till around lunch, I grab my purse and head into the elevator finding him in when it opens.We both look at each other silently, I wait for him to step out but he doesn’t so I enter standing beside him quietly not saying anything.He doesn’t say anything till we start going down and he abruptly presses the stop sign, halting us.“I’m sorry about yesterday.” He said caging me to the steel wall and burning me with a searing gaze.“I know I can&rs
Carter’s POVIt’s absolutely crazy, I have known Isabella for a month and I’m completely crazy about her. I want her with me always, the idea of her being with other men drove me insane with jealousy. Which was one of the reason I was such an ass to her about going out with Luca Romano, normally I didn’t like the guy but I disliked him more now knowing he wants Isabella.I know she says they’re just friends but I have seen the way he looked at her at the charity event. He looked at her like a man who wanted to tear of her clothes.Isabella and I finally talked, I even apologized for acting like a caveman being jealous and now I’m considering making our little sex relationship a real relationship, that’s how much I want her.“What’s going on?” George my best friend asked joining me in my office.“Nothing is goi
Isabella’s POVI stay over at Carter’s place Friday night, we eat, watch tv then make love in that order on repeat. On Saturday we decide to go out for dinner in a rooftop restaurant in Queens. After dinner we go downstairs to leave and someone who knows Carter stops us, a friend I think.Carter doesn’t introduce me to his friend, making the whole situation awkward even his friend looked awkward at the whole situation.I mean he doesn’t have to introduce me to his friend as anything, this is Isabella could have sufficed but instead he shook hands and talked to his friend while I stood there looking between them.Even when his friend asked who is this Carter? He still didn’t say anything, I had to introduce myself.Hi I’m Isabella. I said with the best fake smile I could muster. The drive from the restaurant back to his apartment was quiet, I almost just asked him to drop me back at
Isabella's POVI leave Carter's apartment early Sunday morning, he drops me off at my place and drives off to Connecticut. I spend the morning playing tennis with my father, it's one of the things we do regularly though I have canceled in the recent weeks since I started working for Carter.My father and I are pretty much close, he loves me alot and I love him alot though treats me like a defenseless little girl hence our differences but other than that we get along well.By Monday morning I was already missing Carter, after spending two whole days with him. We texted constantly when we were apart, I almost can't believe we're now in a relationship I'm literally so happy and filled with excitement.When I head into work on Monday my department is in chaos everyone running around."Hey." I say to Paul dropping my purse on my desk."What's
Isabella’s POV My body tingles with another sip of my bubblegum martini. It’s my third glass and it’s only tasting sweeter on my lips, it’s a week day and I’m not supposed to be drinking but I’m so fucking nervous after the day I’ve had at work. The tips of my fingers always feel the turning point first when I drink. That familiar buzz that makes my body feel a bit heavy and my mind light, I hardly ever get drunk I had a horrible experience in college and I still have ptsd hence the reason I hardly drink. “What’s going on with you today? You’re drinking, alot.” Lydia says into her wineglass looking at me weird. “Yeah what’s going on and it’s a week day.”Alessia adds. “I have news guys.” I say and they all drop their drinks their attention all in me. “We’re listening.” Alessia says almost eager. “I have a boyfriend.” I say a little smile on my face. “You know I knew it,” Lydia says turning to Ales
