♡ Isabella's Pov ♡
"What time is he coming?" Kayla asks down the phone.
"4:30" I say nervously, gently biting down on the end of my nails. I glance up at the clock on the wall which currently reads 4:25. "you know, I think you and him would be cute together" she says.

"woah chill, Kayla I've known you guys for about 9 hours, maybe not even that" I laugh. "still won't stop me from thinking you're cute together" She mutters making me crack a little smile. The doorbell rings making me almost jump out of my skin. "Kay, I've got to go" I say quickly. "tell me what happens!" she yells before she cuts off the line. I rush up to the door, straighten my hoodie out and pull my hair to the front. Wow, I never normally care too much about my appearance. I open the door to be greeted by his angelic smile. "hey beautiful" He grins. My heart flutters in my chest taking me by surprise. "hey um- come in" I stutter trying to make it less awkward. I never normally get this nervous either. He steps inside and we head to the living-room. We sit down at the dining table and get out books out to start working.

The more we work, the quicker we lose interest. "So tell me something about yourself" He speaks up, tapping his pencil on the table. The room fills with awkwardness and anticipation. "what do you want to know?" I clear my throat but keep my eyes on my paper.

"your backstory, why you moved here...". Shit, I was really hoping to avoid these questions. I open my mouth to say something but regret washes over me. I look back down. "It's a long story" I laugh awkwardly. "I'm sure I can keep up" He raises his eyebrow. I put my pencil down and look to the side. Of course I'll tell them... eventually. "Look, you don't have to tell me" He places his hand on my arm. I nod and carry on writing.

Once we had done all of our work we decided to watch movies. I make coffee and join him in my the living room.
"So your parents are out?" He asks as he picks up the tv remote. I frown and look down at my legs.
"Yeah, my mum is at work" I lie, convincingly
"And your dad?".
I didn't want to tell him... about my parents, just yet.
"Yeah, him too" I mutter as I chew on some popcorn.
"Do you have siblings?" He asks now facing me.
"Yep, I have an older brother, Jack, he's upstairs with his girlfriend" I smile.
"You'll probably meet him later, so prepare for a shit ton of questions" I add making him laugh.
"Noted" he smiles.
We choose something to watch on Netflix.
Half way through the movie we had chosen, Kayla messages me.

Kayla- how did it go! x
I laugh to myself and shake my head.
Me- great, he's still here x
Kayla- OH- 😉
Me- nooo, it's not like that, we're watching a movie x
Kayla- Can Dre and I join? x

"Would it be okay if Dre and Kayla came over and joined us?" I ask Tony. He nods and smiles down to me.

Me- yeah of course, come over now, the door is unlocked x

I lock my phone and set it down on the side. It wasn't until ten minutes later that I realised my head was resting on Tony's shoulder. I move away quickly and clear my throat trying to hide the fact I was embarrassed as hell.
"Chill angel, it's fine" he laughs shaking his head.
The doorbell rings and I jump up.
I rush to the door.
"Hey little one" Dre pats my head and walks past me.
"Oi, just because I'm 5'2!" I yell after him, making him laugh.
"I did say the door was unlocked" I giggle.
"Yeah but what if we were murderers...would you still want us to just walk in?" Kayla asks.
"Ok- good point" I smirk to myself.
We head back into the living room and pick a new film to watch together.
Kayla and I had fallen asleep on the floor until I felt somebody pick me up. My eyelashes flutter open and my eyes meet Tony's gaze.
"I'm just putting you on the sofa, your back will hurt if you sleep there" he speaks, softly. I nod and rub my eyes. He lays me on the sofa and places a blanket over me.
Darkness eventually takes over me as I fall into a peaceful sleep.
