automatically seek her out. Each time there was an unidentifiable expression, masking her gorgeous features.
What’s making her look so worried? There’s something in her eyes, something scaring her. What can it possibly be? And how can I bring a true smile to her lips? Racking my brain for possible ideas but I keep coming up empty handed, I might need to enlist Nikki for some help.

When she excuses herself to her room, it’s the perfect time to have her to myself for five minutes. Mumbling to Kyle, I’m going for a lie-down. I head upstairs. Gently knocking her door, not to startle her. My hands are itching to pull her into my chest, and apologize for not being with her last night. As soon as the door swings open and my eyes land on her beautiful body, my nerves get the better of me. Running my hand through my hair, trying to get my words together but failing. I pull in a deep breath and finally release the words, “I want to apologize for not keeping you company last night. I was exhausted from sleeping in the chair and completely zonked out.” I wasn’t expecting her to blow up in my face. Does she really think I only come to her room is to babysit her? How can she not know how much I like her? Frustrated and utterly pissed off with the situation, I turn and make a brisk exit. I can’t be dealing with this crap.
No more than five minutes passes before I hear her bedroom door opening, seconds later it closes. I’m sitting on the window ledge, taking advantage of the tranquil mountains around me. Trying to gain some semblance in my head. How can she possibly not know how I feel? I catch some movement in the corner of my eye, turning my gaze. Isabelle’s climbing into her car. What the fuck, where is she going?
Now I feel even more of a douche, has she left because of me. Did I overreact? This is the exact reason, why I hadn’t wanted anything serious. All the what if’s. Sighing, I get up, deciding I should get the wrath off Kyle over and done with. That’s if he’s even bothered to notice.
Finding everyone, sat around the television, playing COD as usual. I stand in the doorway. Waiting for Kyle to come flying at me, but it doesn't materialize, in fact, he turns towards me and smiles. Offering me his control pad. I gather he didn’t notice I upset her then. Waiting for a new game to start, Kyle, Caleb, and James are discussing what they want to eat. I don’t pay much attention to the conversation, as I get lost in the game.
Looking at the clock, three hours has passed since Isabelle left the house. I find myself, holding back the urge to pace. “What, If something has happened.”
“Chill out man.” James call’s from the other side of the room. “You're going to blow a fuse If you don’t calm the hell down.” I know he’s right but how can I calm down, when she possibly left because of me.
The front door bangs open, Isabelle comes strolling in with a smile plastered on her face. It doesn’t quite meet her eye's though, I know something's wrong. She must feel my stare, her head flips in my direction. The fake smile leaving her features replaced with a genuine one. I pat the seat beside me, in hopes she’ll take the hint. She heads in my direction, stopping directly in front of me. Unable to resist, my hands reach out on their own accord, pulling her onto my lap. She makes a little squealing sound, my god that’s sexy.
We spend the evening laughing and joking. Having a great time but I go and spoil it, by opening my big mouth asking if she feels the chemistry between us. Which she gives me an understandable answer to. I’m lost in her green eyes, when a sudden urge to feel her lips against mine, rules my judgment. Lowering my head, my eyes stay focused on her enticing lips. Swiping my thumb across her lips, freeing them from their hold. I lean in, barely touching my lips to hers. Waiting for some sort of sign that she’s okay for me to carry on. Her body goes rigid in
