~If I had to chose between breathing and loving you I'll use my last breath to tell you I love you~DeAnna Anderson

Isabel pov

I came out of Lopéz room hating myself. Why exactly did I do that? I shouldn't have gazed that long! I shouldn't have looked at his abs! I can swear with my life I hate him but here I am getting affected by him and I hate the fact that he had to chase me out of his room like I'm one of his desperate girl fans! I'm clearly not and I'll never be!

Ugh he embarrassed me and I hate him for it! I hate myself too.

I stared at the lady who studied the living room like it was a course to be passed, what did she call her name again? Oh yes Rachel!

She wore a very provocative gown that revealed her thighs and boobs, her red lipstick was bold and she looked confident too.

"Hi". She muttered to me again.

"When is your husband coming around? I umm just want to greet him too", she explains adjusting her gown higher.

Oh no don't tell me....

Lopéz joined our conversation. He looked appalled with the unexpected visitor, I'll admit Lopéz looks so fresh and clean- straight from the shower.

Rachel quickly beamed at him, 'Oh wow Lopéz Fernandéz! You look so....I can't believe my eyes!".

I knew it! She's one of those girls urghh

She held out her hand for him, "I'm a very um big fan of yours, I swear!".

He sat on a couch not shaking Rachel's hand,that was funny I almost laughed. She cleared her throat and sat down beside him starring at Lopéz hard.

Okay what's with the stare? Is she not ashamed or something?

"I'm fucking sure I rented this place for privacy, how are you here?". He questioned her with arms folded.

"I bought the apartment across",she chuckles shyly.

Lopéz sighs not impressed. I'm surprised, I thought he was gonna flirt with her since that's the only thing he's good at! But he seems not interested.

"So what do you want now huh? autographs? pictures?".

"You....I want you". She blurted out without thinking.

What?!

"Oh heah

"Are you guys really happy though?",Rachel asked Lopéz and I facing me with a smile that's obviously fake.

"What do you mean?".

"I mean I did heard from a blog your marriage was an arranged one, isn't it?".

I couldn't answer.I sipped the tea nervously in front of me when I noticed all eyes was on me except for Lopez's. He frowned instead.

"Oh my God Is that true Isabel?".

"Whether true or not,it doesn't fucking matter", Lopéz answered with an irritated frown."We're married and that's it".

"Do you both have plans for today?",Mary asked,"We can all go for a swim,I think it will be cool".

"Yeah I agree".

I wanted to tell them I've a huge fear of water and I can't swim but that might spoiled the mood.

"I don't mind". Lopéz agreed with a shrug.

I ate more of my beef enjoying it,I loved the taste of it and Lopéz passed some more on my plate without looking at me.I love the vibe already between the couples and I love how they always involve me in their plans, I'm really liking them already.

We were talking casually with each other before Rachel interrupted."Is it true your father sold you off for money and properties from the Fernandéz?".

I was shocked.She really had me there,what the hell is wrong with her?! She has no right to ask me that!

"Rachel what's wrong with you?".Joe- Samantha's husband snapped at her.

"I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity and it's just a mere question".She defended her question then ask me again,"is it true?".

Lopéz dropped his knife loudly and stared at her,I could see some anger in his eyes,"Are you this nosy?".

"No,umm.... it's just I-",

"You're starting to irritate me",he stood up and left.

Did he just.....defend me?

"Rachel that was so rude! I can't believe you".

"I just wanted to know, Lopéz shouldn't be mad if it's not true you know".

I got angry.How dare she? I badly wanted to reply her but I kept quiet in respect of my new friends.

The mood shouldn't be ruined cause of her.

"So we still going for a swim this afternoon?".I asked them cheerfully.

"We sure are!".

We all laughed except for Rachel.

***********

After they left,I cleared everywhere and arranged the dining table.I was torn whether to go check on Lopéz or just leave him alone. I mean he did defend you....

Why did he though?.... does Lopéz perhaps like me? he frowned when Rachel spoke against me and was obviously uncomfortable....

Does Lopéz really like me???

That would be a rollercoaster! Or is he attracted to me? I simply can't believe it. Lopéz Fernandéz attracted to me?! I find myself getting amused by the thought,I shouldn't be entertaining the idea but I can't control my mind either.

I need to find out on my own whether he likes me or not,I mean I can't keep asking myself with no answer to my question.

I walked to his room and hesitated, what if he asks me why I'm in his room?what if he asks me to leave again? I'm gonna be embarrassed!

No Isabel I'm only going to check up on him.....nah that won't do.

I went to the kitchen and made a cup of hot tea for him,he definitely won't be able to refuse my tea.I took a deep breath before knocking,

There was no reply. I knocked again before deciding to go in myself,he was seated on his chair with his legs crossed;his green eyes shot at me. He looked upset.

"What do you want?".His tone was clipped and hard.

"Umm tea,I made some tea for you".I gently placed the cup of tea on the table for him.

"Why did you leave in the middle of our breakfast?".I asked him.

He looked up at me,his eyes suddenly cold it scared me.

"I just didn't wanna be with you and yet here you are, bothering me again".

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion,"Did I do something wrong?".

"No".

"What's with the attitude then?".

"I don't see why I should be nice to you, anything else?".

I scoff."I was clearly mistaken, I'm sorry I'm a disturbance to you".I walked out of his room in annoyance.

What a fool I am! To even think he likes me? he's attracted to me? I'm such a fool to even think that!

And he's a dick for putting up such attitude!

I'll never ever cross my boundaries with him again!
