Nate's POV I was glad that I had friends who were looking out for me, regardless of all of the troubles that I was in.It's good to still have genuine people around me. I do not take them for granted at all.I would do everything possible to protect them, especially Isabella.I continued my work and not long after Damien came in.He gave me the files he got from the office, I had a rough look at them before I asked him to drop them in the study room.I needed to work and I had a lot to cover, also because I would be going to visit my parents. I wanted to face on some work while Andrew, Damien and Jane would handle the rest.I stood up and went out of my room to go to the study room to work.Isabella's POV.Nate's has put me in a very tight corner and I don't know how I am going to behave around everyone in the house.I didn't want any of them to give me any form of preferential treatment because I was with Nate. Also, I thought that they wouldn't be as free with me as they were befor
Isabella's POV Thelma was insinuating that I should go and sleep in Nate's room again. I can't believe that she said that. I can't tell if she was looking for ways to send me out of the room so that she could stay on her own.You joke, Thelma, I'm not going anywhere tonight.I am going to sleep here in the room with you, you know I missed you last night, I said to her and she busted into laughter.“Don't even tell me that.” I'm certain that you didn't remember me the whole of last night. I was stunned and couldn't form words in my mouth to say to her.She looked at me for a bit and continued, you know that I am right, girl. There Is absolutely no reason for you to lie to me or pretend.Also judging from all you narrated to me about last night, there was no way you had me in your head for the slightest second.I had no space to come into your head so wouldn't you stop pulling my legs now?I was totally shocked. How did she know that?Last night, I didn't remember anything or anyon
Isabella's POVI smiled at Thelma as I saw her shrug and surrender to my demands.How do you always know when I am trying to hide something from you, she asked with displeasure on her face.Her reactions made me even more curious as to what she was about to tell me. I waved off all her actions to one side and answered her.Just the same way you seem to always find the right buttons to press on me for me to start talking on your demand.It works both ways, girl, you can do it for me so the same goes for you too.I can also pay you back on your own coin.Now enough of this little chit-chat already and get talking.Make sure you say everything from the very beginning without leaving any information behind, I gave her a stern warning that made her roll her eyes at me.I was unbothered by her reaction towards what I said but I kept on talking.I want to know everything in detail.My ears are itching badly for all of the details girls, so start to spill them out now.She gave a deep sigh and
Isabella's POV Listening to Thelma speaking put me in a good mood.I was happy that she got to stay in the same place with Andrew without any form of disturbance or distraction. It was just the two of them alone.Way to go, Andrew, I made a mental remark as I have been restricted from speaking out loud now. I was filled with excitement but I dare not show it, I wouldn't want to piss Thelma off. It will make her not complete her confession.Now that I am way too invested in this confession, I can't let that happen. Not even a bit.She continued to talk.He had said he wanted to kiss me right there at that moment but he hadn't and I was disappointed.I wished so much in my heart that he had done that but seeing how he stepped back I was too much of a coward to push further.I turned away from him and he moved towards me but not too close this time.Thelma took a deep breath looking straight and deep into my eyes before speaking again.“He confessed”, she spewed from her mouth.I almost
Isabella's POV When she figured that I was pulling her legs and she almost fell for it she stood up abruptly and chased after me.She was ready to get me but I gave in to the chase and surrendered.I sat in the bed and I began to beg her not to hit me, I told her I was only playing and I didn't mean what I had said.When I saw that she had surrendered and she wasn't going to hit me anymore, I then muttered.Though what I said is not a bad thing, it's just an idea. You can give it a thought and probably act on it or not.She gave me a wicked look and I retired from teasing her immediately.She began to speak again.We are still, in the afternoon and I would like for you to think about it too.I looked at her with a questioning look and I asked, Think about what?Think about spending the night in Nate's room of course. You know we can't be sure of when he will be away again and I want you to tell him about what we had discussed earlier.He would be able to render help to you.I'm sure
Isabella's POVI giggled at his expression when I told him to make sure to come downstairs to have dinner later. But I didn't allow him to reply before I left.I was really happy being with Nate and it sets me at peace.I returned back to my room only to find Thelma waiting for me.As soon as I stepped into the room I saw a pacing, I was worried at first thinking something terrible had happened after I left.I walked close to her as she approached me.We both chorused, what happened?Shocked at our same questions, I looked at her and I told her to go first.She then asked me what happened with Nate.She looked at her strangely and it was then I realised that she had been worried before the call I received from Nate.Oh Thelma, were you worried because of the call I got from Nate earlier?Then she nodded her head without saying a word.Oh… the call was nothing after all so you don't need to be worried for any reason, I said to her and I also explained what happened with Nate.It was th
Nate's POV After I pulled her out of the hug, I moved us to the bedside. I made her sit on the bed while I sat beside her too.I have noticed that I want to be beside her. She looked at me with flushed cheeks as I was looking at her closely She was still very shy with me but I wanted her to take her time in be very comfortable around me.I told her that I wanted her to be around me for the next few days because I would be out of town very soon.She looked shocked as I spoke to her but she didn't say anything.I continued talking, I told her I didn't know when I'll be back from my trip or how long the trip was going to take.I caught her almost opening her mouth to say something or to ask me a question but she didn't.It's like she had a rethink about it so she changed her mind about asking.I didn't push it too, I want her to build the courage to speak to me on her own accord.I want to rush her into doing what she is not ready to do.I was going to take things very easy with her.
Nate's POV Hey Isabella, sorry I left. I had to receive the call. It was work-related, I said to her as I approached her.She looked at me and said “Oh…it's okay” she said and she continued watching the show.What are you watching? I asked her.Nothing really, I was just scrolling the channels on TV and I came across this show.It's not something I've seen before I was just watching it as I was waiting for you to get back.I see, I nodded as I replied to her.I sat beside her a bit and I made sure I wasn't too close.All of my senses were back at alert but I could still handle them, at least for now.Isabella, there's something I really want to talk to you about.She raised her head to look at me and I continued.Oh… it's not something too serious, I just wanted your opinion on something.The look on her face was not really clear but I could tell that she was surprised by what I said.She probably thought of something too serious and I needed to clear the air.I have been thinking ab
