The Drenched Truth (Power Series)

*part 10

Driving away, I could not help but feel like I was drifting on a wondrous cloud nine and I could feel my cheeks burning up as a silly smile kept playing on my lips. 

I have never felt like this for a man before and it was the most outlandish feeling to explain ever. My heart overflowed with words that come to mind yet my mouth refuses to speak them, and I found myself tongue-tied by Marzco’s very presence.

In fact, I never really noticed how striking men are before… yet, today it was like my eyes were opened up and I saw a man for what a man was placed here on earth to be....

Handsome and stout... A leader, a being with feelings and emotions too that's able to stir up feelings and emotions inside the very heart of a woman.

I noticed every part of him, from his eyes that pierced through my soul to his broad shoulders and gorgeous tanned body that lies  hidden underneath the shirt that fits him like a glove and I suddenly  wondered how it would feel to be held by him....thinking of such shocked me a little,  and a darker shade of blush crept over my cheeks once more and remained there.

I blinked, speaking up to myself

"How could I wonder such things about a stranger I just met?! But more importantly, why do I feel like we have met before, this strange sense of Deja Vu confuses me but it grew tougher when  he helped me down from the stairs and breathed in recalling his touch which was remarkably  so gentle coming from him, a giant that seems so strong and I almost wished he would never let go of my hand.

I chastised myself in silence, knowing that these feelings cannot be as I made a promise, didn't I?

My mind drifted off to the past, to when I was only ten years old. Growing up with step siblings had its pains and gains, Shaun and Diana lived with us until they both left the house.

Much like me and my own two siblings, Shaun suffered a lot thanks to Diana and he became like my mother’s own son...but Diana was filled with hell since the very day our father married my mother.

Diana was and is, without a doubt, our fathers’ favorite child and he placed her above everyone… even his own wife.

This made Diana a spoiled brat and she got away with many things some very immoral and unthinkable things and she got her way literally with everything and with everyone exclusively men. One such guy is Diana's now husband and what I saw there made my heart deeply fearful for the imminent.

Diana ran from one boy to the next even whilst she had her husband as a boyfriend then. Wrong choices and bad consequences made me realize that I needed God's guidance in my life if I wanted to evade these wicked paths that took place before me therefore I wrote Him a letter and I can still remember each aspect of it.

Dear God.

My name is Isabella... Well I guess you already know that.

I am writing this to you because I want this to be a reminder between you and I.

Lord I have seen many bad things going on here... Especially when it comes to relationships and love and it makes me petrified to find love one day.

But grandma says I got to trust in you and then I don't need to be scared of love anymore.

I don't know if you really planned for momma and dad to be together. Because this house is in hell when it comes to them! Especially when papa screams and mess on her like he does... I can’t think that you will call that love.

Anyways grandmother says when you make bad choices it’s because you didn't trust in God enough to help guide you... So, I want to make the right choice.
