"Jealous? Why so Isabella?" He asked and she grinned.
"Because...." She stopped and he waited for her answer, "I won't tell you.. y-you sooo bad.." She slurred and his lips curved up in amusement.
"Uh huh. I don't think so."
"You are!" She accused then giggled, "Yo-You don't e..even listen to me... You just bla-aameee." She exaggeratingly spoke and he sighed.
She wriggled out of his hold but her eyes went dizzy and she stumbled back. He caught her in time and she laughed.
"You're my savior!" She stated and continued, "My baby, my love, you're so good! You asked why I was jealous right? It's because...." She stopped again and he wrinkled his nose.
He didn't wait for her answer instead dragged her out of the dance floor and eventually out of the club too. But in no amount of time, he heard a feminine voice shouting for him.
"What the hell? Where are you taking her?" Josephine shouted and her boyfriend Max snatched Isabella from his arms.
He held her by her shoulder and as a brother, he patted her cheeks to wake her up but all Justin saw was a guy touching his Izzy, he fumed in anger and his eyes remained fixed on her.
"I am taking her with me," Justin stated and moved forward to take her in his arms, right where she belonged.
"Stop!" Max warned and took steps behind but Isabella got out of his hold. She moved forward and wrapped her arms around Justin.
"He w-won't do anythin-ng." She spluttered into his chest and he smiled holding her close to him.
"What the fuck Bellie, you're drunk-" Josephine shouted and even Max flinched at her side due to her loud tone.
"No Josie. I said I am going with him."
"Isabella-" Max started.
"He's Justin." She let them know and Josie's eyes widen.
Justin? The same guy on which she is still hung up on? It was like a battery inserted into her and she immediately came in action.
"Babe lets go." She tugged on to Max and dragged him in the opposite direction. He protested but she glared and it was enough to make him shut up.
"Now they won't disturb us." She said and unwrapped her arms around his waist only to snake them around his neck. She stood on her tiptoe and a shudder passed through him as she kissed his neck, "I missed you so much." She murmured almost sober.
"Let's go." He untangled her from himself and made her sit in the car. As he drove he noticed she was fast asleep.
He fell in deep thought. Thinking about her, their relationship, he kept driving and soon the hotel came in view where he was staying for the week.
It was one of his friend's wedding in a few days, he was just here to have some fun but never in his life he imagined coming face to face with the girl he still loved.
With her slightly awake but still asleep, in his arms, he took her with him to his room.
For a moment he thought if he should call anyone ask to pick her up from here but at the same time he didn't want it, he wanted to spend some more time with her.
Placing her on the bed he covered her with the duvet and stared at her. He couldn't control himself and went towards her, slowly kissing her forehead he lovingly stared at her.
"Babe... " She called out in sleep and he stopped. She took a turn on her side and fell back in sleep immediately. He shook his head and got inside the cover with her. Despite his cravings, he kept his distance.
The night passed fast and it was morning once again. Isabella's phone kept vibrating all night with calls and text, it stopped in the morning only when Josie called Robert and explained that Isabella was at her house, sleeping soundly.
"Fuck!" Isabella cursed holding her head and groaned in pain. Her head hurt like hell. She looked around and scrunched her eyebrows at the new room. She sensed a presence beside her and gasped at seeing Justin sleeping like a baby.
Where a part of her heart raced frantically, she adored him just looking at him. But she had to go.
"Justin.." She tried to shake him and he murmured something along his breath.
"Izzy?" He asked his eyes half open. Her heart fluttered at his nickname for her.
"What am I doing here?"
"Ask your drunk ass that question." He snapped and tried to go back inside the blanket when she stopped him.
"J, please."
He narrowed his eyes at her and murmured something along his breath, then spoke, "Fine, you wanna go home right? I'll drop you."
"No." She said and he looked at her, she blushed and spoke further, "I mean I want to go but before... can you tell me why I am here?"
"I am in no mood to talk to you Isabella, just get ready and let me drop you." He got up from the bed and furiously walked towards the shower and slammed the door leaving Isabella in shock.
He never talked to her in that way. Tears filled her eyes and she looked down at her lap.
I deserve it, I deserve everything but dammit it hurts. She cursed and some more tears dropped from her eye.
She remembered how he was flirting with the bartender back in the club. He looked happy when the girl had blushed at his words where with her he seemed so irritated and angry.
He walked out of the shower in a fresh pair of black chinos and she wondered when he took the clothes with him. His upper half remained bare and she gawked at him until he opened his mouth.
"Don't expect me to wait for you to take a shower, just freshen up and take one at your home or wherever you live." He harshly said and she just kept looking at him.
For a moment he looked hurt at the sight of tears in her eyes but he covered up fast. She looked away and bit back a sob.
"Yeah, I-I.. just give me five minutes." She stood up dashed towards the washroom.
While she was inside he sat on the bed with his head in his palms.
Why did I had to be so harsh?
He scolded himself but at the same time all the things came back from the past and left a large amount of hurt in his heart.
She deserves it. She was the one cheating on him. She deserves all his hate and anger. But it didn't felt right, maybe because he was still in love with her.
His brain loathed him for still loving a girl like her but it didn't help at all when it came to moving on.
She came out and as soon as he saw her his anger came back, the sight of her kissing Alex flashed before him and he clenched his jaw.
"Let's go." He started walking and she followed him quietly.
She kept quiet throughout the car drive and in between, she kept stealing glances of him but he not even once looked at her.
And she couldn't help but her heart dropped at the thought that she had lost him completely.
