As soon as Tristan finished scolding us, I went to look for Isabella. Knowing that I still have to apologize for upsetting her. I hope she's not too angry.

Only to turn around and find her just sitting on the couch.

Her eyes were teary I thought she was crying at first but when I saw her hands covering her mouth, shoulders shaking then I knew she was just trying to muffle her laughs.

I'm glad she's happy even if its at my own expense.

I don't want her uncomfortable with me.

I want her to warm up to me and I think I just messed that up.

Right when she was starting to get comfortable I slip and say that.

When she noticed that I saw her she straightened up and stood up ignoring me, then walked away.

I guess she's mad.

I scratched the back of my head feeling a headache building up. Thinking of what I'm going to say to her I followed her while taking my time and walking slowly.

Looking for her I saw her talking to a woman and start to walk to her and as if sensing my presence she turns and sees me before I even get close. Then finished her chat with the woman and faced me just staring blankly.

"I'm sorry"

was the first thing I immediately said.

She looked so surprised, I guess this was really unexpected for her.

I would be too if I were her. Because I wasn't the type to randomly apologize to just anyone.

I was too prideful for that.

But the thing is she's not just anyone, I care about her.

And I'd be dumb if I let my pride ruin what can be between us.

I will put down my pride if I have to knowing that she didn't like me claiming her like a property as she says, but that was not my intention at all.

Okay maybe it is but she didn't need to know that though

I'd apologize again and again if I had to.

I didn't want her to think badly of me after what I said.

I wanted to make her feel everything but that. Inferior. Never. I would be dead before that happens.

"I'm so sorry I said that and how that would have made you feel like.

That wasn't my intention at all. It just slipped out of my mouth because I let my emotion get the best of me.

I was so accustomed to getting what I want immediately that I didn't think. And that was the only way I knew to get my message across that I like you. And I'm sorry once again if I made you feel inferior"

I said smiling sheepishly.

Hearing what I said made her speechless.

I know that she wasn't expecting this at all and I don't expect her to answer right away. But I am anticipating a positive response. Hopefully she gives me a chance.

"What? You like me? H-how? You don't even know me"

she said incredulously.

What?
