Isabella's POV If anyone had told me that I will come to enjoy Xander's company, then I wouldn't have believed it. But look at me now, sitting in the same room as him, and I do not want to rip his head out of his body. I felt so relaxed being with him now. And I didn't even know why. We were having breakfast in the dining area. I know it seemed kind of strange for me to willingly have breakfast with him, without being forced to, and trust I knew I wouldn't hear the last of it from Mary. But what can I say? Something between us had changed. I do not even know what it was yet, but it just happened. '' Bella,'' Xander called out to me, breaking me out of my invading thought. I looked up from my food, as I locked eyes with him. '' So are we going for shooting practices today, because I want to take you somewhere else,'' Xander asked. '' No, I do not think that I can come, and it is not like I don't want to, but Mia is coming today,'' I answered. '' Oh, that is today, why so soon,''

Isabella's POV Mia pulled me all the way up to my room, and when we were in, she slammed the door shut as she looked at me with anger and also confusion in her eyes. ''Start explaining yourself, what is going on? why is the Draco's cousin talking to you like that,' Mia yelled as she looked at me so intensely. '' Trust me it is nothing,'' I tried to lie, but I should have none better than to lie to Mia. '' Rubbish, I know you so well, there is something going on, so start talking, I need you to explain to me what just happened down there,'' Mia let out. I didn't know how to start explaining all that had been going on with Xavier, but the anger in her eyes coerced me to speak nothing but the truth, so I told Mia everything Xavier had done. '' You can not be serious,'' Mia said in anger. '' I am dead serious,'' he told me this yesterday. I didn't know what to do, so I have been trying my best to avoid him. '' Avoid him? Have you gone mad? You should stand up to him like the strong

Isabella's POVI didn't know why I was so worried, but ever since I heard that Xander was meeting up with Javier, I just couldn't sit still. I was like a woman worried about her husband's safety.'' Stop Isabella, stop worrying yourself over nothing, this is not me, it is the Draco we are talking about here, he can completely take care of himself,'' I said to myself as I tried to force myself not to think about him, but it was just impossible.''Isa, why are you up here alone, when there are a lot of fun things to do right now, '' Mia asked me.'' I am sorry, I will be down soon,'' I said as I turned to hide the worried look on my face.Mia moved to look at me, as she took her seat beside me.'' Isa come on you know you can talk to me, what is going on,'' Mia asked.'' What? nothing is going on,' I answered, as I tried to act oblivious to her question.'' Come on, Isa, I know something is bothering you, it is written all over your face,'' Mia said and I shook my head.'' Okay, do you

Xander's POV '' You want me to teach you?'' I asked, just to be sure. '' Yes, is that a problem?'' Bella let out. '' But why me? You know I can get you one of my best men to teach you all that you need to know?'' I asked, and Bella rolled her eyes. '' I have told you, you are the Draco. You are supposed to be the best and I want to learn from the best,'' she answered. I looked at her for a while, and then I nodded. '' Okay, we will have it your way, but keep in mind that I will not take it easy on you. How I train my men is how I will train you,'' I let out as I made sure she knew what she was getting herself into. '' Good when do we start,'' Bella asked. ' Now,'' I answered. '' What?'' Bella let out, shocked and I smirked at her reaction. '' You wanted me to train, is that not so? Then we will start today. The shooting practice is over,'' I smirked and said. Bella scoffed as she rolled her eyes and walked towards the car. We soon made our way out of the shooting range, and

Isabella's POV I never expected Xander to show up at my door by this time, but here he is wanting to train at that break of dawn. I hated it, it was too early, and I was barely awake, but I guess it was all my fault. Because I asked him to teach me how to fight. Reluctantly, I got ready and followed him to the gym. ''Why are you making me do this at this time? It is way too early. Who trains at this time,'' I asked him and he smirked. '' Well, I do. For me it is the best time,'' Xander answered. '' It is a bad time for me, I need sleep,'' I grumbled, and Xander rolled his eyes. '' you asked for this, so you have to deal with it unless you do not want me to teach you how to fight anymore,'' Xander let out and I grumbled. '' Fine, have it your way,'' I said. We soon started the training and Xander was the worst but also the best coach anyone could ask for. '' Come on, maintain your stance,'' Xander said as he continued to teach me. Hours went by, and the training got even mor
