Kate's POV
I watched as Scarlett hurried everyone into their house leaving me alone with Isaac. "What do you mean?" I asked turning to face him once the door closed.
"You said that we aren't dating. I said we could be." Isaac said looking away from me.
"But we haven't even known each other very long. I don't even know your last name." I said panicked. Why are you fighting this Kate you know you like him, that annoying little voice rang on my head.
"Are you saying that you don't want to be with me?" Isaac asked stepping closer to me.
"Yes. No. Hell I don't know anymore." I say massaging my temples. I look up at him as he moves even closer.
"Tell me now. Just tell me when to stop." Isaac said closing what little space between us.
"Wait." I said my voice barely a whisper. Isaac sighed but backed away for a second.
"Kate. I really like you. I believe that we can have something amazing but you have to decide whether or not you are ready." Isaac said huskily.
I stared up at him not saying a word. I know that he's waiting for me to say something but I can't. Not when he's staring down at me like he is right now.
He gave a sad smile before turning to leave. My eyes widened in surprise. Silently I reached out a and grabbed his arm. He paused but didn't turn.
"Isaac." I whispered and he slowly turned to face me. I let go of his arm when all I saw was a blank expression and I knew that I had hurt him.
I took a step closer still staring into his guarded eyes. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down. I pressed my lips to his. I felt his arms wrap around my waist pulling me closer to him.
I moved lips against his. He pulled back a minute later both of us were struggling to breath. I lay my head on his chest and breathed deeply as he rested his cheek against my hair.
"Isaac." I say my voice slightly muffled. "How about we take this slowly?" I asked not willing to move out of his arms.
"I'm fine with that. As long as you are willing to give us a try." Isaac said pulling back to look down at me. I smiled up at him before pulling out of his arms.
I turned to walk away but he grabbed my arm and pulled me into him. Before I had a chance to move he pressed his lips to mine. A second later he pulled back with a smile and let me go.
I stood there dazed for a second then turned to the door. I raised my hand and knocked lightly. It took a few seconds until Scarlett pulled open the door.
"You look a lot better." I say with a smile. She smiled back as she allowed us to come in. "Hey Rachel. Are you happy now? I mean your whole family is back together again. By the way, where is Mr. and Mrs. Hale at now?" I ask confused looking around the room.
"They left to buy clothes for Scarlett. Those are mine that I gave her. I think they should be back in a bit. Kate did you meet Liam?" Rachel asked as Scarlett's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yeah. He seemed like a nice enough guy. How come?" I ask looking between them.
"Because Scarlett won't tell me anything about him." Rachel said with a pout aimed at Scarlett.
"How did you learn his name?" I asked looking her in the eye.
"Scarlett told me. I asked whose phone she used and that's the name she gave me. Now she won't even tell me what he looks like." Rachel said whining.
"He is tall and has done brown eyes. And serious. He seemed very serious." I said as Isaac wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
"Scarlett he seems like the perfect person for you. Please give him a chance." Rachel begged beginning to confuse me.
"Rachel. I'm not going to get into any type of relationship anytime soon. You should understand that. Especially since you were there." Scarlett said absent mindedly scratching her arm.
"Fine. But will you at least take me to meet him?" Rachel asked rubbing her palms on her jeans.
"Rachel why do you want to meet Liam? He's in a complete different says and he has a girlfriend so don't go getting any match making ideas." I said watching as Rachel's smile disappeared in a flash.
"I just want to thank him. He- well his phone- saved my big sisters life. I think he deserves a thank you." Rachel said and I started to feel bad.
"It's okay, Kate. If Rachel wants to meet Liam then I guess I can borrow your car and take her to see him." Scarlett spoke up obviously uncomfortable.
"Scar you don't actually have to do this. You can wait. Get a good night's sleep. I mean how long has it been since you had one of those?" I asked fishing my keys out of my pocket. Then without hesitation she took the keys from me and walked out the front door.
"Let's go Rachel!" Scarlett called over her shoulder. Rachel looked at me surprised.
"You better get going. She's not the type to wait on others." I said pushing Rachel lightly toward the door.
