Isabelle's pov

"I'm so excited about this trip."

"Yeah."

Thats all he says.

"What's up with you? You've been so disconnected."

He tilts his head towards me and scowls... Wow.

"What do you mean 'disconnected'?"

"I don't know?... The other day you went out and didn't inform me, I called and called it kept sending to the voice mail. You didn't even return the calls. I thought you'll be with me and we'll get to experience stuff together, yet you were MIA."

"I didn't know I was supposed to ask your permission before leaving my house."

"Oh wow."

I scoff and look out of the window.

He doesn't say anything, just keeps driving and for the next 30mins we drove in silence.

We pull up to this beautiful Inn, it looks so homely.

He carries my bags and his and walks into the building while I follow behind.

We get the keys to our room and he goes into the ensuite bathroom and shuts the door.

I'm left standing there and just staring.

He exits,

"I'm sorry."

He says simply.

"It's fine."

I nod.

**5:30pm**

"Get dressed we're going to meet up with a friend of mine."

I nod and change into a pair of Jeans and a t-shirt.

We get into the car and drive to a restaurant.

It looks more like a diner, I've never been to one, I'm a city City girl through and through.

So this is all new to me, I'm used to Chinese and ordering takeout,or a good ole Mcdonald hamburger...

Thinking of that just made my mouth water.

Why is Ray so cold tho?

We walk into the diner and walk towards a guy seated in one of the booths, he looks like a typical country boy, he's cute too.

"Heyy Rody."

"Hey man! It's been ages."

"Isa meet my childhood friend and brother Rody."

Isa? Did he just call me isa? Something is definitely wrong.

I wave and put on my best smile.

"Rody meet my fiancée."

"Wow, you're really beautiful... Its so nice to finally meet you. How'dy?"

"Thank you Rody... Its nice to meet you... I'm good and you?"

We make light conversations and I find out Rody is married to a bianca.

I can tell he's in love with her,that makes my heart melt, I can't wait to meet her.

We order, well Ray orders for me as I don't really know what to order.

While waiting for our food, a tall, pretty, blonde lady walks up to our table and I feel Ray freeze, his whole body tenses.

Rody seems nervous too... Okay who is she?

"Hello Sam, How'dy?"

Rody says with a tight smile.

"I'm alright, hey Ray I didn't know you were back in town."

"Wow Sam! Look at you!"

he stands up and hugs her, his hand lingers at the small of her waist while he smiles back at her - in a, I can't really place it.

Seems like there's a bit of history there. His next words bring me out of my thoughts.

"Uhm Sam meet isa, my uhm... Friend."

Wait he called me isa again... Hol' up did he just say friend?

I smile,

"Hello Sam, nice to meet you."

"Likewise... Can I join you guys?"

She sits opposite Ray, with Rody opposite me.

They talk and talk leaving us out of the discussion like they're reminiscing.

I just fill my mouth with my food and look down till I'm done.

I look up and Rody gives me a sympathetic smile.

Something is definitely wrong... My mistake is not letting her know who I really am to him, but I don't want to sound desperate.

Lord help me.

We finish dinner and walk out to the parking lot.

"Rody do you mind taking isa back to the Inn?... I uhm have some errands to run."

"O...kay?"

I shake my head and follow Rody to his pick up truck.
