Its not meant to be.

Chapter 16

You let her sleep for a while as you telekinetically clean up the plates and wine, storing them in her basket. You softly played with her hair, mindlessly humming.

'How did my life turned out like this?' You thought smiling, staring at the peaceful face of Isabela, watching her chest moved up and down in a steady rhythm.

"Really, you make me go crazy, my love," you kissed her mole. You're so lost in thought for a while that you didn't notice Isabela fluttering her eyes open, looking at you lovingly.

She sighed in your gentle touch hugging you close as you snapped back to reality.

"Afternoon Mi vida.... sleep well?" You greeted her smiling, as she blushed.

"I did thanks," Isabela said before scrambling off you when she realized she's still naked. With her sexual frustrations gone, embarassment overcame her. Which you stopped by holding her hand.

"I'll help you Isa," You smiled, sitting up, pulling her close gently. Isabela loosens her grip on the blanket as you kissed her forehead.

You then help her in, clasping her bra back and sliding her underwear in....feeling your cheeks heat up. Isabela's looked breathlessly with her tousled hair, swollen lips and... your mark all over her.

"What?" She gave an embarrassed chuckle. "What is it?" Her hazel eyes bore on you as you took her hand. Her dress was now perfectly on her as you pulled her up.

The sun turning orange as you both got out of the tent. "Nothing... but would you give me a pleasure of dancing with you?" You asked her as she nodded.

"Let's be sober and remember it this time," you teased her, leading her near the river as it reflects the sky with purple meeting pink.

"I will," she chuckled, putting her arms on your neck. "Make it last this time," she teased you back.

You laughed, holding her hips. "If that's what you want, Isa...I will give it to you," you smiled moving close to her as your phone played Cristina by Sebastián Yatra.

Isabela's eyes widened noticing the lyrics as you twirled her, and in her lips a small sad smile plastered on it. You both danced to the song, showing your own twist in your steps, alternating in leading the other.

You both gave eachother a loving stare  moving your hips dancing in bachata with a mix of salsa.

Holding her in your arms, you felt the small box digging on your skin. Your mind drifted imaginarily seeing Isabela in white dress... with you next to her at the altar.

You pulled her close as you swayed in circle  changing the steps to waltz which Isabela tripped to, as you catched her, dipping her body before leading her with you.

The sun was starting to set as you made a soft firey sparks glow in the air coating the surroundings with yellow, blue and red glow.

Isabela's breathed hitched, noticing the fairytale like ambiance as you used your telekinesis to unfold the net holding the petals and making them float and fall. She stared at it mesmerized, before her gaze fell on you.

"Artesia this is beautiful," she gasped, while you watched her add her own creations making the river lush with her flowers

"Mi vida... I know that we just technically met over few weeks," you started, holding her hand, as Isabela turned to look at you.

"But seriously, you're making me fall in love with you faster than light," You chuckled as you picked up her basket.

"Will you go along with my selfishness tonight?" You smiled as Isabela looked at you confused, nevertheless nodded her head.

"If it takes for you to be mine...I'll give you everything, Mi Amor," She sweetly says as you blushed feeling your smile grow wider.

You both are walking hand in hand as the sun starting to set, stopping near your house.  You're about to bid goodbye to her when you felt her tug you to the town market first.

"Isa... you need to get ready." You told her as she smiled.

"I know...I just wanted to give you something.... a gift if you may," she then lead you quickly to a jewelry store.

"Isa?" You watched her exchange a few words with the shopkeeper before making a purchase.

"C'mon, Mi Amor," she called you as she made a flower bouquet filled with red ruby roses with pink roses and purple ones.

You both ran with Isabela dragging you back to your home. "I just wanted to give you these before tonight," She breathed smiling. "So that if you see my gift, you'll  know that I accept and treasure your love,"

"Aren't you a sweetheart?" You chuckled as she gave you a nudge.

"Sure Cassanova," she rolled her eyes playfully before pecking your lips.

"Mi vida?!" you said surprised by her bold move.

"See you tonight Mi amor," she then waved you goodbye.

You slowly entered your house, with Mariano on the doorway, startling you.

"Riano!.... did you?" You gasped as your brother sighed heavily.

"Save it Tesia... just go change, Señora Alma would be here in an hour." He waved you off looking crestfallen.

You watch his back as you sighed, going up to your room and change in to something formal. Which was a black lacy puff fairy dress, and pairing  it with red pumps.

Isabela's gift hang on your neck, a floral hazel colored sunflower golden pendant necklace, with a "I" and a small heart.

I 🌼 💛

"Ay you look beautiful Artesia," Señora Alma greeted you as she held your brother.

"I agree, she look glowing... right Mariano?" Mams nodded as your brother eyed you, sighing.

"Yes," Mariano smiled sadly holding his arm to me.

"Thank you everyone," I bowed as I took his side, walking slowly to the Casita Madrigal.

"I'm going to propose," Mariano whispered to you.

"I know but I'll try to give her the choice to choose, If she said yes then I'll back off," you whispered back.
