CHAPTER 60
COMING HOME
As Vincent drove back to his house with Isabella seated by his side, her eyes was fixed on the road as she looked from the window, she had never really been this careful around Vincent and the silence was killing her.
His attitude when he had arrived to take her home was not like the Vincent she was used to, she thought hard on how to get things back to how it was before Timothy came back into her life.
As they got close to his house, Vincent gave a frown as he recalled his last discussion with his mother before going to pick up isabella.
He hoped his mother would not take him by surprise like she did that morning because he didn’t want to hear anything about Jessica especially her being pregnant.
“Welcome back,” Vincent said as he watched Isabella walk into the house, he had wanted to do some decorations but has changed his minds because he didn’t want her thinking he was overjoyed to have her back.
But even has Vincent would like to deny his true feelings, he was happy to have Isabella back to the house, though he didn’t know why but it felt right.
“I’m sure you can find your way,” Vincent said as he tried to walk away from Isabella, he needed sometime alone to think about what had happened that morning and the right steps to take as he was sure that was not the end.
He didn’t want to be caught off guard by either his mother nor Jessica as he knew how much trust his mother has for her and he was sure that was what Jessica had used to make his mother come all the way to his house.
“Please Vincent don’t leave me here like this,” Isabella suddenly said as she held back his hands and prevented him from walking away.
“Yes, I know my way around the house and I know you are still angry at me but your attitude towards me is tearing me apart.” Isabella confessed as she looked at Vincent with her eyes filled with guilt.
She knew Vincent latest behavior was all because of what she had done to him and deep down she wish she could turn back the hands of time but it was already too late.
“I am sorry Vincent,” she announced as she held his hands in a very subtle manner as she tried to display her pain and sincerity, she wanted him to know how apologetic she was feeling.
But Vincent didn’t even care to look at her because he knew he would call her charming face and he didn’t want that to happen, “I have told that i am fine,” Vincent replied as he tried to take his hands off Isabella.
“I am really sorry Vincent and i promise to never do anything that would cause you pain again, in fact I would make sure to do whatever that makes you happy!” Isabella asserted as she held back his hands.
She wanted to be sure that he was really okay with her and that he would stop treating her this way,” please say something,” Isabella said as she looked at Vincent.
“You don’t need to promise me anything Isabella, I have told that i am fine and if you are still not comfortable around me, you can take any decisions that is best for you and I would not mind.” Vincent replied.
But deep down he was worried that Isabella might take the wrong meaning to what he had just said, all he meant was for her to be free to do whatever she wanted.
“What I mean is, I do not want it to seem like I always have my ways when it comes to you and I do not want you feeling trapped just because you feel some sort of guilt.” Vincent noted.
But Isabella quickly objected, “No Vincent, it was all my my fault in the first place for not seeing your true intentions in the first place, I know you are a good guy and all I am saying is I am sorry and u want things to go back to normal between us.” she pleaded.
But Vincent only chuckled at her words, the Isabella he knew was always stubborn and never liked how it was before, “Are you really sorry Isabella or you are just saying all this because of guilt?” Vincent questioned.
“I am really sorry for how I acted out and for all my actions cost you,” Isabella noted but she could see that Vincent was not moved by her words and there was nothing she could do about it.
“It’s okay Bella, I just hope things only gets better from now onwards.” Vincent admitted and as he tried to turn to take his leave Isabella quickly pulled him over and kissed him.
Shocked at her action, he wanted to pull her away but Vincent found himself wanting more as he grabbed Isabella close and retaliated her action.
” I-i am sorry Vincent, i- i got distracted it will never happen again.” Isabella stuttered as she quickly broke out from their kiss, she didn’t know what had prompted her to do it but she just could not watch him leave her like that.
“It’s fine Isabella,” Vincent said as he looked at her lips lustfully, he had never wanted to kiss anyone so badly.
“Ok i will just make us dinner,” Isabella announced as she turn to walk towards the kitchen but Vincent quickly stopped her, “You do not have to do that,” he said as he held her back.
“Its fine, i just want to show you that I really meant all that I had just promised you.” Isabella noted but Vincent quickly declined. “You just came back from the hospital and moreover that won’t be necessary.”
“I think I have a better plan, how about we go out for dinner tonight?” Vincent inquired as he looked at Isabella for reply. “I would love that,” Isabella said as she replied with a smile.
“Okay then, I would take you to a fine restaurant down town where they make the best home made meals.” Vincent bragged.
CHAPTER 61
FALLING
As Isabella watched Vincent took her things upstairs, she could not help but marvel at the kind man he was and was happy that things were going back to the way they were.
Isabella could not stop smiling at herself as she remembered the kiss and they had together it was their first kiss after their first meeting and it was perfect.
But she was majorly happy because Vincent was no longer angry at her, soon after they were on their ways to the restaurant, there was already a huge difference from when they drove home from the hospital.
Because all through their journey Vincent had been interactive with Isabella which made her so happy, immediately they got there he held her hands as they walked together towards their table.
And before the waiter arrived he had made sure to ask her if she was okay and needed anything, Vincent on the other hand could explain why he was happy but there was good feeling that was radiating in his heart at that moment.
After some few minutes after the waiter had taken their orders, he brought in the food for them Vincent had allowed Isabella to order her preferred choice of meal as he didn’t want her to feel like he was imposing his choice on her.
“The food looks nice,” Isabella said as she looked at the food as they were arranged in front of her, she had been craving a particular soup since she was at the hospital and had made sure to ask for it.
“I hope you like it,” Vincent replied as he watched her take her first spoon full of her soup, “Wow, it really taste home made, ” Isabella remarked as she continued with her food.
Hearing this Vincent was happy he had made the right choice of bringing Isabella to his favorite restaurant but as Isabella continue d with her food she suddenly began to feel some irritation down her throat.
She couldn’t tell why and before she could explain to Vincent how she was feeling she had already threw up on herself, “oh my God!” Isabella exclaimed as she looked at herself in shame.
And before she could try to get up from her seat, all eyes were already prying at her as they looked at her mockingly, but to everyone one’s surprise Vincent just quickly got up from his seat and moved to Isabella’s side.
“Are you okay, is it the food, do you want anything?” Vincent questioned as he try to make her comfortable but Isabella was scared of what this might cause seeing the way everyone stared at her.
“I am sorry for embarrassing you this way, I didn’t mean to do this, I think there was something in the soup that I reacted to.” Isabella finally said as she looked at Vincent in shame.
“It’s fine Bella, I am just happy you are okay.” Vincent said as he beckoned on one of the waiters to bring in some napkins, as the waitress rushed towards where they were seated.
She tried to assist Isabella in cleaning her up but Vincent just took the napkins from the waitress and began to clean Isabella up himself,”I can do it myself,” Isabella said as she tried to take the napkins from him.
But Vincent insisted on cleaning her up himself as she watched him do this, Isabella immediately began to wonder why Vincent was doing all this.
She knew she had wanted him to go back to the way things were but she didn’t think he would go this far to showing her care even in public not disputing the fact that he was a very popular celebrity.
Or was he doing all this because she was pregnant with his child, Isabella was confused as to what Vincent true intentions was because he had never asked her for anything in return and had aways been so caring towards her.
“Are you okay?” Vincent asked after he had finished cleaning her up, he wanted to be sure there was no other issues and that they could get something else for her to eat.
“Yes, I am but I do not think I want to continue with the food anymore as I do not want to cause you anymore embarrassment,” Isabella noted.
“Oh that’s fine with me, I would just make you dinner at home,”Vincent affirmed as he signaled one if the waiters after he had finished paying he turned to Isabella and signaled for them to leave.
But as Isabella got up from her seat, Vincent noticed that she wasn’t looking okay but she was trying her best to act normal, she didn’t want to cause another scene but she really dizzy.
“Can I carry instead,” Vincent suddenly asked as he walked close to her, “No! I am fine , I can manage.” Isabella replied as she continued in her struggle but Vincent was not okay with the way she was looking and he knew she was just being scared of what the public would say.
“You don’t have to worry about what they would say,” Vincent said as he carried Isabella in his arms leaving her in shock, she had never thought he would do that in such a place.
“Please bring me down, i can manage Vincent,” Isabella objected as she tried to get down from Vincent but he just ignored her as he carried her towards his car not minding the murmur that were around them.
As he got to his car he gently out her into the seat and then helped her with her seat belt all through this time Isabella could not help but think about all that was happening as a dream, her long most wanted fantasy dream.
“We are home,” Vincent announced as he pinched Isabella back to reality, as they got into the house he quickly fixed up something for her to eat and even drew her a hot bath and after which tucked her up.
But Isabella could not sleep that night as she found herself longing for Vincent, “I can’t fall for him now,” she said as she reprimanded herself.
