Nava scooped Isabella's hair into a fancy twist and ignored her complaints. "Nava it's just a casual restaurant. I don't need my hair up all fancy!" She said Nava rolled her eyes and tugged a little making Isabella yelp. "Will you cut that out? I'm already suffocating in hairspray. I don't need my scalp torn off as well!"

Nava smirked at Isabella's reflection in the mirror. "Well I'm sorry I actually want you to look good for this date!" She said. Nava had found Isabella lounging around in a torn up hoodie and dirty jeans. When she asked what she was wearing on her date she motioned to her outfit.

Nava had rolled her eyes and dragged a protesting Isabella to her bedroom to find clean jeans and a nice blouse. "I don't need my hair done in some fancy looking up-do!" She said. Nava rolled her eyes for the ump-teenth time. "It's not anything super fancy. It's just a braid." She said admiring her handy work.

Isabella turned her head and examined her hair in the mirror. "Yes, a braid that starts on one side of my head and ends in a messy bun on the other side. Simple." She said grouchily. Nava smiled. "Oh come on. Stop complaining or I'll do your makeup as well."

Isabella cringed then nuged Nava out of the bathroom. "Alright fine. Give me some space." She said. Nava laughed and went to the living room. Dustin looked up from the book he was reading and raised an eyebrow. "Were you helping her get ready for a date or holding a tourture session?" He asked.

Nava pretended to think before grinning wickedly. "Tourture." She said cackling. Dustin chuckled and scooted over so Nava could sit next to him. "Whatcha reading?" She asked. He looked at his book. "Honestly I don't know. It's in german. I was trying to see if I could piece together some words but I've only managed a few." He said.

Nava chuckled. "Are you trying to learn german?" She asked. Dustin but down the book. "No but I remember Isabella saying something about some of the words not being too far off from english so I decided to give it a try." He said

Nava picked up the book. "Let me see." She said. She opened the book up to a random page. "Lets see." She said searching the page for some familiar words. She caught a few but quickly gave up trying to find familiar words.

She sat the book down and turned to Dustin. "I recognized a few but the rest is just letters." She said. Dustin chuckled. "That's exactly what I thought." He said. Nava smiled and turned to look down the hall. "I wonder what is taking Isabella so long." She mused already assuming that she was removing the braid from her hair.

A moment later they heard Isabella's door open and close. Isabella came down the hallway. Nava laughed. She was right. Isabella had indeed removed the braid and thrown her hair into a messy ponytail. However she had also changed from the skinny jeans to a pair of bootcuts but had kept the blouse.

Isabella smiled proudly. "I did my makeup. She said. Nava sighed. "All my hard work on that braid. Wasted." She said putting a hand over her eyes dramatically. Isabella giggled. "Yep." She said walking over to the couch. She grabbed her boots and slid them on.

Nava bit backa grin and put on a playful scowl. "Really boots? Can't you wear high heels just once?" She asked teasingly. Isabella looked at her solemnly. "Nava I will wear heels on the day I die. Why? Because if I wear high heels I will fall, break my neck, and die." She said folding her arms.

Nava chuckled. They went silent as they heard a knock on the door. Dustin and Nava watched Isabella expectantly but she calmly sat there. Nava kicked her shin and she blinked snapping out of a trance she got up and walked to the door.

Nava jumped up and followed close behind. Isabella was grabbing her jacket off the coat rack and Nava waved at Jax. "Hey Nava!" He said He glanced behind her and raised an eyebrow. Dustin walked up and held out a hand. "I'll take it your Jax." He said. Jax nodded and Isabella smacked their hands down.

"Knock it off." She said Dustin smiled innocently and Isabella stuck her tongue out at him. Nava rolled her eyes. "You two have fun." she said. They were turning away as Nava said "But not too much fun." Isabella rolled her eyes.

"Sorry about them. You know how friends can be." She said. Jax chuckled. "Yeah. So who was the guy I shook hands with?" He asked. Isabella grinned. "That was Dustin, Nava's husband." She said. Jax nodded and skipped in front of her quickly opening the car door for her.

"Let me get that for you my lady." He said bowing. Isabella rolled her eyes but played along. "Thank you kind sir." She said. He helped her into the car and closed the door winking.

Jax climbed in and turned on the car. "I'm really glad you agreed to come with me." He said. Isabella glanced out the window. "Me too." She said smiling slightly.
