Degrees of Desire (gxg, txs)

chapter thirty three

-Diana

How could I possibly sleep after that? "My love"? I don't even think she realized what she had said because very soon after, she was fast asleep.

Did she mean it? Was it just something to say endearingly? Yeah, that's probably it. It was just a form of endearment. She didn't actually love me.

I stayed up for a while watching as she slept. I never knew one could ever be so beautiful while they slept. That was of course until I met Isabella. Her beautiful skin glowed under the moonlight. Her long blonde hair looked just as perfect as it did when she was awake.

I watched as her chest slowly rose and fell. She slept so peacefully and all I could do was watch in completely admiration.

Isabella had become the biggest part of my life recently and I couldn't help but imagine a future for us. I had never felt this way about anyone at all. I could never see myself living with someone for the rest of my life but with Isabella, it was easy.

I could easily imagine a life where we woke up together everyday. I would make her favorite breakfast and she'd do the dishes. We'd spend our day together doing whatever it was she wanted to do. I'd take some time to write while she read.

She wouldn't have to worry about anything. She'd have me and she would have to worry about a single thing.

I wanted to be everything for her. I wanted to be able to give everything to her. I wanted to be the person she could depend on for the rest of her life. I'd do anything and more for her, only if she'd let me.

With all of these thoughts running through my head, I finally decide to get some sleep.

There was a faint noise of someone moving around in the room. I slowly opened my eyes, trying to get used to the bright light that peered through the window.

Isabella was seated at the vanity I had in the corner of my room while Kate was doing her makeup. They both turned and looked at me with wide eyes.

I pull the sheets over my bare body. I was so glad that I had already been covered.

"Oops. I knew we were being too loud." Kate looked at me and laughed softly. "Good morning."

"Good morning." Isabella said softly with a smile.

"Jesus. It's so early what are you two doing." I rolled my eyes reaching on the floor for my shirt.

"I was just doing Bella's makeup since you never let me. We are supposed to be going out for breakfast remember?" Kate answered as she continued to apply mascara onto Isabella's eyes.

I continued squirming around trying to get dressed as Kate wasn't paying attention to me. I could see in the mirror that Isabella couldn't keep her eyes off of me.

"Great. Now you are stealing my girlfriend." I huffed getting out of bed and walking towards the bathroom.

"Hey! It's not my fault I'm so much more cooler and funnier than you." She yelled out from the room so I could still hear her.

I proceeded to get ready for the day. There was no way in hell I could change my sister's mind about going out this morning. It would have been nice to stay in but I already knew that wasn't an option.

It's not so warm outside. Since it's still fall, the weather is cooler and the sun isn't so hot. I loved the fall and winter seasons. It was the only time I could wear the clothes I liked comfortably.

When I finished changing, I walked into the room and found Isabella in a completely new outfit with her hair done.

And she looked gorgeous.
