A Blind Date Is The Start

Chapter 9

Isabella's POV

I left ellie with sir Jason earlier. He said he had a break from work and asked If she wanted to hang out.

I didn't want to be a third wheel so I left them to have their... Thing...?

The sun is setting and the street lights turn on.

I'm a little scared to walk alone after what happened yesterday...

Ellie said she could have drove me home but I declined.

I want her to have fun with sir Jason.

I pass a few people and they stare at me. That makes me a little uncomfortable but I continue walking.

Is it the fear that someone will try and do something similar to the man that came to my house...?

I'm not sure, I just keep walking. I'm not far from home. A few more minutes.

Mom and dad are at work still.

Mom said that I can order something to eat today,

I don't really have an appetite... Im bored tho... I don't really want to paint or read....

I get home and just lay on the living room couch.

I put a hand on the top of my head

Where sir Gabriel kissed me yesterday...

A light blush flushes on my face at the thought of it.

It's a simple gesture yet... It feels... More than that.

I close my eyes and calm down in silence.

I want to text him... He must be at work or sleeping.

I open my phone on Instagram and post a story of a flower

I write on the side of the picture
'sometimes, you want something and search for it when it's in front of you without you realizing'

I then post the picture.

I keep scrolling through reels and videos, trying to distract myself from the thought of someone attacking me or even worse.

I don't feel sleepy and I have school tomorrow...

My grades have gone better in some subjects, I keep studying when I have time so I do better in tests.

I stand up and lock the door and make sure the windows are closed shut.

I go upstairs to my room and close the door.

I lay on my bed and scroll through my phone to pass the time.

Gabriel's POV

Its 10am,im at my office.

I'm signing some papers while Jason is talking to me about a few things.

Mostly company-related, meetings, new objects etc.

The he said something that caught my eye

"Mr Black, the mafia boss and your 'enemy' wants a meeting, he seems to have a deal. That's what he said over the phone"

My eyes narrow

"a deal?"
When it comes to deals, the Black's aren't the best.

They always have bad intentions.

"you have free time at 6pm later today, should I arrange a meeting in a restaurant?"

"Yes... Do that"

I wanted to ask Isabella out for a date but...

I lean back in my chair and sigh.

Black... What are your intentions?

Author's note

The picture /photo is mine btw, hope you like that too ;)

It's my first time writing a book and I'm not sure if it's going well or not.

If something is similar to another book it's a coincidence, I write everything myself when I have free time!

Anywaysss stay tuned for more chapters!!
