Impress [Nate]

[ISABELLA MARIANA DIAS]

Just because you were with one person didn’t mean that your feelings for others stopped. Isabella only vaguely recalled this Vanessa woman that Nate spoke of but she knew that she was attractive, had a decent personality to her, and she and Nate had always had a good time together. It was simply human nature for those memories to resurface when you were around some of your old flames. She wasn’t the least bit upset that Nate was just being human. Him having feelings for another woman wasn’t anything that she was thrilled about but it was normal and Isabella took it graciously. Even if the two of them were active with one another the chances of those previous feelings for Vanessa would have likely come up. You could just forget about the people in your past, at least not the ones that had made a big impact on your life, be it good or bad. ”I never saw much sense in regretting things that couldn’t be changed. The mistakes we make are part of who we are, I feel its cause for certain appreciation even if the experiences you had impacted you negatively.”

She didn’t comment on his rekindled feelings for Vanessa. As long as Nate did act on them and his affections didn’t shift to the other woman there was little that Isabella could get angry over. She couldn’t really expect him to disregard his feelings that wasn’t how they worked. You could hide your feelings, repress them, but you couldn’t not have them at all. There had been a mild jealousy flare inside of her but rationality tried to over rule it and pushed it back and away from the surface. His playful scolding only made her want to laugh more. Isabella was interested to see where exactly he was going with his last statement, though she figured something along the lines of him ‘punishing’ her was in mind.

The reappearance of his mother and the violent blush on his cheeks had Isabella reaching for her water to busy herself. Taking a sip of the refreshingly cool beverage her gaze was fixated on Mrs. Grey waiting for her reaction. She was playing coy, probably having heard everything that Nate had said. With that wink that Isabella received it was confirmation of the suspicion. Replacing the glass and avoiding eye contact for a few seconds Isabella was shocked at what his mother was suggesting. Not only was she breaking the no females allowed rule but she was basically giving them permission to have sex in her home. Isabella’s lips were parted, shocked at the woman, but she recovered in seconds and smiled politely. ”That’s kind of you to offer, Mrs. Grey.” Whether she stayed or not though would be up to Nate.

[nate]

Nate just couldn't help but to feel guilty over still having feelings for Vanessa, since he has only been with Isabella for a few days and he has loved her for two years but he still has feelings for someone that he had a little fling with that didn't even last for very long. What is going to happen when he comes face to face with his other previous flings, is he going to have feelings for them all. Or is Vanessa different because she is the one he regrets leaving and not entering a proper relationshiop with her and by the time he was planning to they had drifted apart and hadn't seen her for a while until the other day by what point he is with Isabella. "If you don't regret anything then I don't see why I should since all I did with Vanessa was talk to her and have a catch up but I do feel guilty for having some feelings for someone who isn't you." Nate said ashamed.

Nate noticed that Isabella didn't bother to comment about his rekindled feelings for Venessa but the thing he couldn't figure out was why she was remaining so calm when he is freaking out about it. Nate was having more and more fun with Isabella as he playfully scolded her for being a bad school student and if his mother hadn't came back when she did then he would of added on 'punish you.' But would Isabella actually agree to doing some dress up sex with her in a school girl's uniform and him as a priest or something like a school teacher.

Nate noticed Isabella take her glass of water to make herself look busy and took a sip as she looks at his mother. His eyes widened when he heard what his mother was suggesting, since she was the one who made the rule of having no lovers to sleep in the same bed but it didn't mean that they couldn't make love with each other in his bed but sleep in different beds in the house. "Me and Isabella sort of made plans..." Nate said as he rubbed the back of his head slightly nervous. "...for the night before the fundraiser." Nate said not sure if Isabella would want to stay at his home or not.

[ISABELLA MARIANA DIAS]

He had no real reason to feel guilty or regret his feelings, Isabella wouldn’t argue with him on the matter. To her, he seemed worried still though. If nothing had happened then it wasn’t really necessary for him to be explaining himself either. Just talking to the woman had brought back those feelings and with Nate still talking about it was it because he was afraid that he might slip or was he just worried that Isabella wouldn’t receive it well and get upset with him like some high strung teenage girl? That latter seemed just as likely as a guilty conscience. Isabella was a teenage girl and jealousy was easy to come by in most females. She was trying to trust Nate though and give him the benefit of the doubt. If she let insecurities rear their ugly head every time another female was involved, anywhere near Nate for any reason then she imagined that their relationship would suffer from it. If there was reason for her to get cranky over something then she would but the Vanessa thing seemed a bit pre-mature to Isabella. She simply nodded in acceptance.

Most of the time putting any role-playing effort into her sexual activity wasn’t in the cards. Isabella hadn’t really bothered with it before because the clothes came off too quickly to really enjoy it and typically she wasn’t interested in giving her lovers those sorts of treats. Nate was different though and part of the exploration of their relationship was liable to venture into all sorts of fun to be had in the bedroom. She was amused by the thought of her in some plaid skirt, white button down with her hair in pigtails like she used to when she was a little girl. It would help with the innocence of the role. Her mind was threatening to go off into other tangents of what she’d enjoy doing with Nate but with his mother there she put that aside for later.

The plans that Nate had made with her for the night before didn’t have anything to do with being under the Grey’s roof. If he wanted to change his mind and take up his mother’s offer he wouldn’t hear any complaints from her. Isabella was being pretty laid back when it came to their relationship. His mom had pointed out that she was his first girlfriend but what she hadn’t realized was that Nate was her first real boyfriend too. The other boy before it wasn’t really the kind of relationships that were all that solid like Isabella had been taught it should be so she couldn’t count them as anything more than brief romances. She had been on plenty of dates before but this was different and despite knowing what all the proper procedures were supposed to be Isabella was taking things one step at a time. Isabella wanted this to work and that meant making compromises and being understanding despite sometimes wanting to throw a tantrum. It meant growing up and out of the negative traits that she had gained along the way.

[nate]

Nate was about to continue talking about how bad he still feels but sees that Isabella seems to be getting annoyed about it so he stopped himself from talking. He did have to wonder why he is being so worried about it, it isn't like he tried to do anything with Vanessa so he looks down at his drink as he started to day dream about what his future would look like with Isabella, about how they would raise an family with each other and eventually grow old and have a happy life together. Nate let out a sigh annoyed "Is this what I actually want my life to be like... is Isabella the one I truly want to be with, or do I just want to be with her because she is one of the people I haven't been with in any way before." Nate thought as he bit his lower lip not sure what to make of his thoughts.

The only problem with them doing role playing was that some times there isn't enough point in them doing it since they won't spend much time in them. One of the main reasons that he did liked it was because there was so many possibilities they could do and for some reason he got turned on so bad and quickly when females dress up as things that he knows he would never be able to sleep with in real life. Nate did have to wonder about if Isabella was the sort of female who would be interested in doing role playing or not. Nate did have to admit that it would be very amusing to see Isabella in a plaid skirt, a white buttoned down shirt and her hair in pigtails.

'So Nate, do you want your girlfriend to stay over?' his mother asked.

"It isn't really up to me, mother. What if Isabella's parents have some plans." Nate said.

'You just said that you have plans with her. So why would her parents have plans with Isabella as well?' Nate's mother asked as she raised an eye brow at her son.

Nate bit his lower lip gently before he turns to look at his girlfriend with a slight lust look in his eyes as now he just wants to do Isabella that much sooner. "Do you want to stay over on the night before the fundraiser, and we could change our plans to some other night I suppose." Nate said as he let out a sigh in slightly annoyed as he wasn't really sure when they would be able to sleep with each other now.

[ISABELLA MARIANA DIAS]

Isabella tried not to flinch as Nate slipped up saying something about her parent’s monopolizing her time almost directly after he had told her that he had plans with her. He was such a terrible liar, which she didn’t mind all that much considering if he had been a smoother operator in that area it would have made it more difficult for her to trust him. As it was though Isabella never had to worry about him lying to her about anything. There was always the option of him not saying anything at all so she wouldn’t be able to pick up on any dishonesty but it was Nate so that was highly unlikely. He had a tendency to express his guilt, like he had about that friend of his, Vanessa. She had hoped that she had put him at ease on that one but she wasn’t one hundred percent convinced that was the case.

She recognized that look in his eyes and without Nate having to hint one way or the other verbally, took it that he wanted her to quell his mother on the matter. Her hand slipped back over from her lap to his out of view from his mother and massaged him as subtly as was possible. It was a little cruel, perhaps, to do such a thing where he wasn’t in any position to capitalize on her gesture but Isabella did want to make it unmistakable to Nate that she wanted the same thing that he did. She kept her gaze on him for a few moments, answering. ”I’d much rather keep our plans. I was looking forward to them.” Gliding her hand down his leg a bit and relenting in her teasing Isabella looked to his mother.

”I appreciate the offer Mrs. Grey but I’m afraid I’m going to have to decline. Keeping plans with whom you made them first is, after all, the proper thing to do.” Her wording should have made it indisputable to the woman but she had been unpredictable the entire evening so Isabella couldn’t be sure. ”Perhaps another time though?” To dismiss the idea of her staying over any other time would have been stupid. You didn’t pass up an invitation like that without making sure that it would be extended to you another time, preferably when it would be more beneficial to you. With the rule of not having any females in his bed overnight it could prove bothersome in the future. Isabella wanted to keep the idea open to Mrs. Grey for later use.

She was increasing becoming frisky wanting to get her hands- and various other parts of herself- all over Nate. Her roommate would definitely have to leave for the night unless she wanted to see more than she bargained for. Two weeks was doable but that didn’t mean they couldn’t have other fun in the meantime. Their meals had arrived though and the sooner they finished up the sooner she could get Nate alone.

[nate]

Nate couldn't believe that he has slipped up about not wanting to have Isabella over his home on the night before because of the plans he had made with her while his mother was in the toilet. He knew out of his family, he is the easiest one to tell when he is lying since he will automatically bite his lower lip if he is lying even in the slightest bit. But luckily he is bad at telling lies so that makes people trust him a lot more once they figure out what he does when he is telling a lie.

Nate continued to look at his girlfriend with lust in his eyes as all he wanted was to be with her but instead he is stuck at this dinner. His eyes went wide when he felt that her hand had gone from her lap and was now on his as she massaged him, he soon went back to normal as he turned to look at his mother not wanting to indicate what is happening under the table. Nate soon turned back to the new female in his life as she spoke once again. "I am also looking forward..." Nate said but quickly bit his teeth together tightly when he felt Isabella's hand going down his leg teasing him. "...to our plans." Nate said as calm as he could but he could feel his 'downstairs' becoming hard and stiff.

'That is nice to hear, my dear. The offer is there when you want it but just get Nate to give me and his dad some heads up in advance.' Nate's mother said.

Nate started to eat his food as steady as he could but he knew it will be a next to impossible task since his girlfriend as made him so horny and turned on by going along his leg. Nate couldn't help but to smirk slightly at the thought of one of his family members walking in to his room while him and Isabella are going at it hot and heavy.

'That will be nice to have you over for the night some time.' his mother said. Nate's mother then started to eat her food.

"Are you trying to get me in trouble with my mother?" Nate asked his girlfriend loud enough so only she heard it.

[/size][/blockquote]

[ISABELLA MARIANA DIAS]

Isabella had been playing coy long enough around Mrs. Grey. It was starting to get on her nerves when all she really wanted to do was to have a bit of fun with the handsome man next to her. Keeping her composure around Nate had been hard enough when she hadn’t know that he liked her, all those nights at the club drinking and dancing with her friends and seeing Nate at the bar had allowed her, on more than a few occasions, to have the urge to pull him into her frisky nature. But they were best friends and that wasn’t typical behavior. Isabella had liked being special to him- that he didn’t treat her like just another one of his flings. She was still special to him but in a different way now and those desires had a way of bringing themselves out. To be honest Isabella wasn’t sure that if she started something with him tonight if she would be able to stop ruining that whole two weeks agenda that Nate had. However, Isabella couldn’t really bring herself to care.

”Of course Mrs. Grey.” Isabella still wanted to be respectful, but, much like Nate’s little friend, it could be hard. She did realize that what she was doing now wasn’t all that respectful but Issy simply couldn’t resist. Who was worse in their desire for one another? Her or Nate? Once the others had begun to eat, primarily Mrs. Grey rather than needed the go-ahead from Nate. As one might expect from the high quality of restaurant the meat was tender and tastefully done. The silence wasn’t to last long though as Nate was speaking quietly to her. Isabella made little notion that she had heard him, until she glanced up at his mother to see she was perfectly clueless and content eating.

A light, impish smile touched her lips. ”If there is going to be punishing later don’t you think I should at least be naughty to deserve it?” Isabella spoke just as quietly making sure that Mrs. Grey wouldn’t be able to hear her. Looking over at Nate her gaze flickered from his lips to his lap licking her lips slowly. ”What mother dearest doesn’t know can’t get you into trouble.” It was undeniable that Isabella wanted more of him right then and there. She wasn’t just hungry for the food in front of her. Isabella let herself appreciate Nate’s features for another moment or so, a low moan sounding in the back of her throat. That did call Mrs. Grey attention though Isabella gestured to her food with the end of her fork. ”Excellent chicken.” She commented, the moan not having been about the food but like she had said, what the woman didn’t know couldn’t get him into trouble. Flashing her a sweet smile Isabella would go back to eating.

[nate]

One thing that Nate was wondering about is just how long can Isabella remain playing coy with his mother so that he doesn't have to but it was mainly just turning him on to much as he didn't have to be on guard about what he has to say to his mother, then there is also the fact that Isabella is teasing him so his mother can't see it, so he has two options either reveal what his girlfriend is doing to him underneath the table or to just go on and let his girlfriend continue with her fun. Nate bit his lower lip hard as he knew that he would most likely not be able to stop himself if he started something with Isabella tonight, maybe he should just punish her tonight and get it over with. But what will Isabella think if he wants to sleep with her tonight instead of doing anything else with her.

Nate couldn't help but to smirk slightly when he noticed that Isabella was sounding respectful to his mother but wasn't being respectful to his mother under the table.

'Then we will have no other problems will we Nate?' his mother asked as she looks at her son. 'Why are you smirking?' his mother asked.

"Nothing..." Nate said as his cheeks became bright red. "...that concerns you mother." Nate said.



Nate's mother went back to eating not really caring about her son blushing.

"You have turned me on so much, Isabelisious so I will have to punish you tonight in your dorm room since you have been a naughty girl... but you are my naughty girl." Nate whispered quietly admitting that he wants to sleep with her tonight now instead of when they had agreed to. "That is until I need to go to the toilet again, what will mean that she will see the result of your tease." Nate said as his eyes signaled his down stairs department. Nate started to giggle when Isabella moaned slightly what made his mother look up at the two of them, but then Isabella made a comment about what made her moan so Nate's mother turned back to her food. "Quick thinking." Nate whispered shaking his head gently.

[ISABELLA MARIANA DIAS]

She shouldn’t have liked seeing him blush over her actions so much but Isabella did. It was nice knowing that she made him feel like that and who didn’t like a good ego stroking from time to time? The situation being inappropriate only made her lust after Nate more though. That very well could have been a very bad thing without a proper outlet to indulge in. Those golden rules she had learned as a child about keeping her hands to herself and minding her manners were being completely ignored this evening. Certain people, in certain situations, brought out that naughty side of her though and the here and now, with Nate, was one of those times. His mother seemed to believe her enough to go about her eating without further inquiry, which Isabella was grateful for.

A rush of pleasure ran through her at being called his naughty girl. Usually when people had tried to lay claim on her Isabella would get irritated with them but there was something that she really liked about officially being Nate’s girl. Add onto that the context of the claim and there was no way that she couldn’t feel giddy over it. He was succumbing to his desires to appease her own. Yet again Isabella seemed to be getting what she wanted and her inner brat was preening. Of course it was more than just that. All that curiosity of hers was going to be realized sooner rather than later and it was with someone that she actually cared about. Maybe Isabella should have been nervous over that, anxious that the circumstances surrounding it would be different and the emotional attachment would make it a greater risk than just the physical ones. However, she was nothing but excited.

Isabella couldn’t, in honesty, say that she was all that sorry about teasing him. It had led to something that they would both enjoy and though his mother noticing a tightness in his pants, there were always worse things that they could do to each other. She assumed that his mother had asked that she and Mr. Grey be given the heads up as to when she was staying the night at their place so that they wouldn’t happen upon any personal time between the two lovers. ”Were you expecting less?” Isabella questioned, grinning. She did have a sharp mind in most circumstances. There were exceptions to that of course like if she was fuming, anger and thinking clearly let alone quickly was a major downfall of hers. Isabella tended to slip up and make mistakes when her blood was boiling. Everyone had their weaknesses and when her temper was struck that was typically when hers presented themselves.

[nate]

Nate noticed that it seemed that his girlfriend was enjoying how much her actions are making him feel but he didn't want to do to her because knowing his luck his mother would notice it, but how much longer will he be able to last until he moans in pleasure. He wasn't sure what was worse, the fact that Isabella has become more inappropriate in behavior since they started to date each other or the fact that he prefers this version as it is just wanting him to have her that much quicker and makes him wonder what she will be like once they start sleeping with each other. Nate bit his lower lip once more as he did want to know what has made Isabella forget all of her manners for the evening, since she has been so polite... as hard as that can be with his mother... but now that his mother has given them her blessing, Isabella is like some possessed person.

Nate slyly winked at Isabella when he noticed that she had pleasure in her eyes, when he called her 'his naughty girl.' This brought a huge smile on his face as he knew that Isabella would get irritated when her previous partners laid claim to her but for some reason she took pride in the fact that he had laid claim to her. Nate turned to look at Isabella and noticed that she had changed, and saw the thing that he knew oh so well... she is manipulating him to give her what she wants.

Soon enough he attempted to grab onto his girlfriend's arm as he stood up. "Please excuse me and Isabella, mother but I need to have a word with her." Nate said wanting to get to the bottom of why she is manipulating him when she doesn't need to since he already wants her so bad but wants to take his time with this relationship. Nate soon walked away to the outside of the restaurant hoping that Isabella would follow him so that they could talk about what has been happening in front of his mother.

[/size]

[ISABELLA MARIANA DIAS]

Feeling him grip her arm and tug her up Isabella rose obediently. Nate didn’t seem too pleased about the situation and her behavior toward him. That was just too bad for him though if he was actually upset with her over the mild teasing she had done. Isabella was capable of so much worse but she had just been playing with him a little bit. It wasn’t like she was trying to be too cruel toward him. There was a little bit of manipulation in her actions but only in the tone that Nate had set. He’d been hinting at the progression of their physical relationship since that night at the club when he had asked her out. Isabella was pretty well versed in men and what they wanted but Nate was sending mixed signals to her, encouraging bad behavior and then pulling her away for what she could only guess by the look on his face was to scold her.

”Excuse me, please.” Isabella nodded to his mother giving her an apologetic look for his sudden outburst. She wasn’t an innocent party of course but Mrs. Grey was in the dark about what had brought it on. That was the way that Isabella wanted to keep it too and hoped that Nate would feel the same way and be more inclined to avoid answering any questions she might have later versus trying to lie to her about it. She could tell when he was doing that. Following a few paces behind him having no desire to quicken her strides to match his, she waited a few moments more to collect her coat and shrug into it before stepping out in to the winter’s chill to meet up with Nate.

She hadn’t seemed in any rush to get to him and seeing him standing there waiting for her she still didn’t seem all that hurried. The sounds of traffic and low music trickling out of a speaker near the entrance were the only sounds around save for a couple giggling as they walked to their car, hand in hand. They didn’t even notice anyone else was around though whispering sweet nothings to one another before slipping into the car and driving off. It was a beautiful night out- the sky clear and the stars bright. Isabella hugged her coat tighter against her as she approached him slowly. Slipping up next to his side Isabella looked up at him expectantly. ”I take it you aren’t in the best of moods at the moment.”

[nate]

Nate smirked slightly when Isabella rose once he tugged on her arm, not too pleased about what she had been doing to him what had taken him a while to realize what was happening. Nate didn't mind that she was teasing him but the thing that got to him the most and hurt him was that his first proper girlfriend was manipulating him to get him to sleep with her that much quicker even though he wants it to be special between them. If he wanted to have a relationship where manipulation was involved then he would of remained single, and manipulated multiple females to sleep with him, what he use to do but stop for the female he is now regretting asking out.

Nate's mother raised an eye brow as she watches the events enfold in front of her wondering what has made her son to want to talk to his girlfriend away from her. 'No problem you two.' Nate's mother simply said as Isabella excused herself from the table. Nate's mother watches as Isabella walks a few paces behind her son with them both not acting like they were when she was talking to the staff when she went to the 'toilet'. This time it seems that her son is pissed of with something that Isabella had either not said, what she whispered or something she did or didn't do, but what is it.

Soon enough, Isabella came out of the restaurant they were having food in but took a while to join him by where he was standing. "Why are you manipulating me Isabella..." Nate said as he moved so that he was standing facing the female. "...you know I want you so bad as I have loved you for two years but now it just seems that you are acting like the way I use to before we started dating each other. So make up your mind on what you want to do Isabella Mariana Dias, do you want to play games and manipulate me into sleeping with you that much sooner what I will do but we won't be dating each other..." Nate said as he looked away from his girlfriend ashamed about what he is about to say. "...or do you just want to stop playing your games as this is not the girl I love." Nate said as as he placed his hands on either side of the female. "I love you and I will always love you but I don't want you to manipulate me since I will sleep with you tonight if you really want me to." Nate said deeply hurt at what he is saying.

[ISABELLA MARIANA DIAS]

She hadn’t meant to make him upset. This was all new to her too and Isabella was just trying to handle things the best way that she knew how. When it came to the sexual aspect of things she was used to playing games that was the way that anything ever got done. It had been instinct to act that way toward Nate too but she hadn’t taken into account that he would be hurt by it. That look on his face didn’t settle at all well with her. A pang of guilt striking at her for the mistakes she was already making. Isabella was already insecure about having a relationship for so many reasons and quite frankly she had never been so scared in her life because she didn’t know what to do or what to expect and matters of the heart weren’t as easy to get over if things went South. Her stomach was twisting into knots over the things he was saying to her.

Gaze dropping to the ground Isabella frowned upset with herself for not having known better. She understood him as her friend but as a lover it was completely new territory for her. Isabella needed to learn the boundaries here, figure out what Nate did and didn’t like and get to know him on this new level that they were at- given she hadn’t completely ruining anything for being so clueless. Nate wasn’t just another boy that she could play with and have her fun. Relationships were supposed to have that element of equality and realizing this –perhaps too late- had Isabella mentally scolding herself for her actions. She should have known that the games weren’t necessary, that whatever she wanted she could have just proposed it to him and saw where Nate stood on the matter. He was being so great about changing his ways but Isabella hadn’t taken too many strides toward changing hers and it wasn’t a one-way street.

As his hands were placed on her Isabella looked up to Nate beseechingly. ”I’m sorry.” She stepped into him wrapping her arms around his waist and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. ”It’s new for me too, Nate. I’m learning all the rules and what it is that you want from me. It’s difficult breaking out of habits and dealing with those boys at school manipulation is needed. I wont do it to you anymore just if I slip don’t be too angry with me. Sometimes I don’t even realize I’m doing it- just let me know its happening so I can stop.” She shook her head at him. ”I’m not going to be a perfect person all the time Nate and I don’t expect you to be either. I suppose I’m asking for a little patience and understanding from you.” It was what she had been extending to him, like when he mentioned his ex-flame, Vanessa, she hadn’t gotten bent out of shape or thought less of him. ”I love you too.” She added giving him a soft smile.

[nate]

Nate noticed that his girlfriend was feeling guilty about him being upset but he did want to get his point across to her. He knew it would be hard for Isabella to change her ways since she is similar to him, but he is trying so hard not to hurt Isabella by acting his normal way and to change into something that Isabella would be proud to have. But times like this when he realizes that he is the one being manipulated instead of him manipulating people does make him wonder how people must of felt after realizing that he had manipulated them. Nate bit his lower lip as he looked at the ground as he started to go through all of the people he has manipulated in the past and how they must of felt after it had happened. "How could I manipulate people to do my own bidding." Nate thought ashamed at how he use to treat people.

Nate looks back up at the female onto to see that her gaze turned to the grown obviously upset about what he has said to her. Nate just wanted to step forward and hug Isabella and to comfort her since it isn't her fault that he isn't being a push over who will let her walk all over him. Then there is also the fact that they haven't been working on how to be a couple and are still sort of treating each other the same way they did when they were friends, so maybe they should take a step back and treat each other as they should be... as lovers. Nate took a step forward and let a sigh out in frustration as even though he is in a mood with Isabella he did just want to comfort Isabella.

"Don't be sorry. We are rushing into things, with out a second thought. We were going to think about the two of us being a couple but we rushed into that..." Nate said, he bit his lower lip gently as he stares at his girlfriend's eyes. "...we want to not blow our chances as lovers but we are rushing into sleeping with each other." Nate said as Isabella wrapped her arms around his waist and gently kissed him. "I know it is new for you Isabella. I also know that it will be hard for you but I will always be here if you need me, you know that. I promise to help you when you are starting to manipulate me." Nate said as a small smile on appeared on his lips. "It took me being mad with you to tell you that I lo..." Nate said but then stopped. "How about we re-start our new romance... as I don't want there to be no hard feelings between us... So Isabella Mariana Dias will you be my girlfriend?" Nate asked as he attempts to rest his forehead on his girlfriend's forehead.

[ISABELLA MARIANA DIAS]

They had hurried into a relationship but they had to because there was a time constraint on Isabella. There was just so much to take into consideration and to worry over that they had leaped into their relationship and desire had found its way into the mix. It would have sooner or later but she guessed in her uncertainty of her circumstances and how best to handle herself and her feelings for Nate she had resorted to what she was used to versus what was right. Nate wasn’t just another guy, he was her guy. It meant that he didn’t need to be treated the same way and further more that he shouldn’t have been. Isabella had messed up and that was on her. Ironic that Nate had been spending so much time trying to change his ways to appease her while she should have been the one shaping up. Nate was already making enough sacrifices just being with her.

It was a bit unfortunate that it took him being mad at her to say that he loved her and now that he was calmed down he couldn’t get the second half of that one word out. It was okay though Isabella wouldn’t push it. Taking a step back in their relationship and taking it slow, getting to know each other as lovers rather than friends- it would be for the best. No matter how much she lusted for him until they were both ready without either side manipulating the other and comfortable as lovers they probably needed to hold off. They kept going back and forth with the issue but that was to be expected, wasn’t it? There were three different things conflicting with one another here, heads, hearts, and hormones.

Re-starting so early into their relationship had Isabella laughing softly. Better to realize their mistakes now and take care of them while it was still fresh than to let things build up and things be unable to be repaired. Working things out felt good and it was a great learning experience for the both of them. So few couples remembered to have an open line of communication in their relationships and that was a primary cause of its downfall. Isabella had always wanted whatever relationship she got into to last and that desire had increased when it came to Nate. He meant so much to her already and now he did even more and in a different way. Isabella rested her head against his closing her eyes for a moment. She liked the closeness, the warmth of his body, and the sense of security that he brought to her. ”Yes, I will.” Looking back at him a smile slowly stretched across her lips and she moved her arms to wrap around his neck.
