Isabelle.
    I love the way my body responds to Isabelle. I only need to hear the delicate sound of her voice or her sweet laugh and I'm rocking a hard on. I stroll in the direction of the girls but stop short. Not wanting to disturb the serious conversation they seem to be having. I remain nearby to listen yet far enough away, not to get spotted.
    Nikki and I had a conversation several days ago, my need to date Isabelle. It took a lot of convincing, but she finally relented and agreed to help me convince Isabelle to go on a date. However, I did receive the best friend speech, ‘you hurt her and I’ll kick your ass.’ she warned.  Gradually striding towards them. I lean down until my mouth is aligned with Isabelle's ear. I quietly whisper, “what Nikki said is true.” Isabelle's body breaks out in goosebumps. What I would do to have her beneath me. It felt great to hear her admit she feels the same way about me as I do her, yet she needs to trust me. I’m still not entirely sure how to gain her trust, but I’m determined to break down her barriers. To set her free of the blame, she's put upon herself.
    “I have feelings for you, Isabelle. If you’re worried about the baby, I want to be with you every step of the way.”  Seeing the tears in the corner of her eyes, causes a stabbing pain in my chest. I never intended to hurt her. Desperate for her to see how I feel, I ask the ultimate question, “go on a date with me Isabelle?” She looks at me with a baffled expression. Her eyes reveal she's attempting to work out whether I truly asked her. She investigates my eyes before giving me a response. A response I wasn't anticipating. She agreed, she consented to go out on a date. Happiness spreads through my body, setting my nerves ablaze. I pull her into my arms, encasing her in an embrace. “Thank you,” I mumble against the warmth of her neck.
    We settle for having our date the following evening. Nikki wink's, letting me know everything's in order. She then proceeds to persuade Isabelle to go shopping for a new outfit. Giving me the afternoon to set up her surprise. The rest of the afternoon runs smoothly, with Isabelle sat between my legs, in the comfort of my arms.
    Nikki, Caleb, Isabelle and I have been sat watching James make an ass out of himself. The poor lad never seems to have any luck with the ladies, but I have to give him some credit, doesn’t give up. Kyle plops down on the sand beside us before reaching for the cooler and searching its contents. Not that's he's going to find anything,  the cooler Isabelle packed didn’t last long. As soon as kyle mentions the word food, my stomach grumbles making me aware I’m in need of some food as well.  Kyle, Nikki, and Isabelle argue amongst themselves, attempting to decide where to eat. When everybody's in agreeance, we pack up and head towards the cars.
    Nikki, Caleb, and James get into Kyle's car, allowing me at some time with Isabelle. I drop into the passenger's seat and turn my body, to seek Isabelle's green eyes. I'm taken back by what's reflected in them. She looks terrified. Her complexion is ghostly white. In an attempt to ease her worry, I decide to break the deadly silence by asking what she wants to do on our date tomorrow. Not that she has much input. The date has been arranged down to a T. Everything's planned to perfection. I hope I made the right choice.
    She doesn't give me a response, an uncomfortable silence descends on us. Attempting to avoid the awkwardness building between us, I sing along with the radio. Hoping to elicit her beautiful smile. I don't have to wait long until her grin spreads over her face. She's irresistible. It makes me want to do anything to keep her smile firmly in place. It makes me believe in forever. Shit, What the hell has she done to me?
    There's a fifteen-minute wait be seated. A petite, young lady wanders towards us, introducing herself as our server. She's eyes every one of us, however, takes a distinct
