Isabelle had talked to Randy in a week. Every time she closed her eyes she could see the crazy look in his eyes that night. He'd been calling her nonstop but she wouldn't talk to him. She been so busy she hadn't had the time to tell Willow about it. Isabelle went to Willow's house that night. She'd just finishing telling her what happened.
"Oh my god." Willow said. "Are you ok?"
"It's been a week and I'm still shaken by it." "That look in his eyes." "It was so awful, so evil." "How someone could just fly off the handle like that without any provocation?"
"What are you gonna do?"
"I don't know." "I don't think I can be with him anymore." "He showed me a new side to him that night." "A side I didn't like." "A side I'm terrified of." Her cell phone started to ring. "It's him again." "He keeps calling me." "I don't know what to do."
The next day Isabelle had just arrived at work. Her secretary beeped in on her office line.
"Isabelle Randy is on line one." She said.
"Put him through." She sat down behind her desk and picked up the receiver. "What Randy?"
"You're still mad, I know." "Have dinner with me tonight so we can talk."
"I don't know Randy."
"Please Isabelle."
"Ok."
"I made reservations for where we had our first date at eight tonight."
"Ok." "I have to go." She hung up.
Later that night she met Randy at the restaurant. She wasn't hungry so she didn't order any food.
"I'm sorry." Randy said.
"The way you acted, it was insane."
"I know." "I know I scared you and I'm sorry." "I don't want to lose you over this."
"This is a big deal."
"I promise nothing like this will ever happen again." "You have my word."
"Ok for arguments sake let's say I do take you back." "Let's say our relationship progresses, down the road we get married, have children."
"I want all of that."
"I'm not finished." "Let's say we do all of that then one day you go into one of your moods like at the gas station." "You end up hurting me." "Or worse, one of the kids."
"That would never happen." "I would never hurt you or our future children."
"I'm supposed to believe that?" "I'm sorry Randy." "I don't feel comfortable around you anymore." "I don't feel safe." "I feel afraid."
"Don't be afraid of me Isabelle."
"I can't be with you." "It's over."
"No."
"Goodbye Randy." They both stood up.
"Wait." "I can give you what you want most." He got down on one knee and took a little box out of his pocket. He opened the box. "Marry me Isabelle."
"No." "You're crazy and we're done." She left leaving Randy down on one knee.
