"Me and Nicolas is going out tomorrow night and Nick is gonna stay over with you." Isabelle smiled.

"No freaken way." stella said unhappy.

"What? It's saturday tomorrow and I need to get out ." Isabelle giggled

"I know but what the fudge! I don't want Nick to be in our house alone with me." stella said freaked out.

"It's gonna be alright." Isabelle smiled.

"Yeah, I'm off to bed with that book principal Keeble gave me." Stella replied.

Stella kiss Isabelle on the cheek and walk off to her room.

Isabelle laugh silently and shook her head.

"Nicolas Keeble, touchy." She smiled to herself.

The next morning Stella and Isabelle sat around table drinking coffee.

"So, when's this dinner thing?" Stella asked.

"Tonight at six." Isabelle replied.

"Have you got something to wear?" Stella asked.

"Yes I'm gonna wear that white dress Nina gave me." Isabelle smiled.

"No you're not. You're gonna meet his ex wife not his wife." stella said putting her cup down.

"He has no wife." Isabelle said.

"Exactly, that's why you gotta look like you're putting the efford in it all." Stella smiled.

"But..." Isabelle started.

"No but. You're wearing that black, short mini dress you bought me with that Jimmy choose shoes." Stella interrupted like a boss.

Isabelle gave a smile at her daughter and a little laugh.

Dinner...

There was a knock on the door and Stella opened it seeing Nicolas and Nick.

"Come in." she smiled and back out of the way.

"Mom! It's time!" Stella shout which really surprised Nick that her voice didn't fall.

Isabelle came running to them struggling to put her heel on. 

"Oh, you need help?" Nicolas asked speechless.

"Yeah." Isabelle replied putting her hand on his shoulder standing on one feet to put on her other heel. "Thank you." she said when she was done.

She stood up straight and look at Nicolas that was staring at her with lovely eyes.

Her dark hair was tuned up to long curles and she was just as high as Nicolas.

"Ready?" She asked.

"Yeah." He nod.

"Okay you guys don't burn down the house. Bye." Isabelle said and they left.

***

They arrive at the big grand place and sat in the car for a while.

"Thanks for doing this." Nicolas smiled.

"No problem." Isabelle gave the sweetest smile.

They walk side by side into this grand house. It's so big you could almost think this is a celebrity's house.

They knock on the door and look at each other with a smile.

The door swang open and a yellow light fell on them. They both look at the opened door and see a smiling women with ginger hair and a red dress.

"Hi, you must be Isabelle, I'm Lauren, Nicolas' ex-wife." The strange women said shaking Isabelle's hand. "Come on in."

Isabelle gave Nicolas a smile and went in with him behind her.

"Wow this place looks beautiful." Isabelle said looking around. She look up and saw a big golden chandelier who had a sharp bottom pointing to the wooden floors.

"Follow me." Lauren command and walk off to the living room.

Dinner was marvelous and the chatter around the table was wonderful except for the topics. All about Lauren and her new husband's marriage.

"We're so happy. I'm so glad we met." Lauren smiled at her husband.

Isabelle look at Nicolas that looked imberrest. She gave him a smile and look down and back up them with a clever thought on her mind like she had a brilliant idea.

"That's really great, sometimes I wonder what's stopping him from making a move but yet we seemed happier dating then married." Isabelle look at Nicolas widening her eyes to let him know this is a game.

"You two are seeing each other?" Lauren asked.

"Hmmm." Isabelle nod her head slowly with a smile.

"Nicolas? Why haven't you told me?" Lauren asked acting surprised.

"Oh I asked to keep it a secret for a while as you see I'm a teacher at his school which is really wonderful so I decided to tell you tonight just...so that you can know how much I love this man." Isabelle said before Nicolas could say anything. She put her hand on top of his and smile at him as he winked at her with impression.

"That's sweet..." Lauren said giving a sarcastic smile.
