Chapter 4

That night Isabelle had finally slept good since a long time. She softly opened her eyes adjusting to the sunlight shining into the room. She blinked this didn't look like her room. She looked at the arm around her belly she removed it sitting up blinking again "How did I get here? " She muttered to her self

"Probably walking" Virgil mumbled "Why are you up so early" he muttered "It's not even coffee time"

Isabelle rolled her eyes and snorted "Well I didn't fly I know that. And you with your coffee. One day you're getting one coffee maker for your birthday from me for in your bedroom. " she grinned then she groaned "Oh no"

"What" Virgil said looking up

"I could have at least worn something more. Like sweatpants" Isabelle face slapped her self "I have to black mail John for the cameras"

Virgil blinked "You walk around in a bathing suit that's less covered and your worried about your long t shirt? "

"Euh hello, I am coming from Your room in a T-shirt. Go figure"

"We'll let them think what they want to think. Now go back to sleep it's too early" Virgil muttered pulling her down.

"or I could sneak back into my room. "

"now, that would be suspicious. They will for sure think something then" Virgil mumbled pulling her close to him like they were lying a moment ago.

"What are you doing Virg? "

"What does it look like. Going back to sleep. duh"

Isabelle rolled her eyes "you're being a pain in the butt. You're teasing a lot these days" She muttered " I am going to get put some more clothes on"

"Stay put" Virgil grumbled nuzzling her neck "And how so I am teasing a lot these days? "

Isabelle's breath hitched "this. " she mumbled "I can't think straight"

"Good now sleep" Virgil mumbled

Isabelle sighed and removed his arm "You go and sleep. I am going to do something. To think straight. She rubbed her face she was so confused. She sat up stretching her back.

"Don't forget your checkup before you go" Virgil said

"Don't worry I'll ask grandma" Isabelle said

"Avoiding me? " Virgil joked

"You got maintenance to do. bye" She said sneaking out of his room and going into hers she put on a tank top and some training leggings she put her hair into a ponytail and grabbed her phone. She walked downstairs made herself a cup of tea a bottle of water and some breakfast. After breakfast she went to the music room. Flexed her muscles and put the music on. She had to crack this project for her exam. Badly Lester chose this darn song. It was a combination with classic, hip and breakdance. They would leave in about four hours so three hours of training should be enough.

One hour later the door of the music room opening revealing Virgil. "Did you even eat? "

"Yes, food is fuel" Isabelle said panting looking at him "Did you have your coffee? " grabbing her water bottle and taking a couple good sips.

"Two already" he said walking up to her Isabelle watched his every move wondering what he was doing. "Play the song again. " he muttered

Isabelle blinked and pressed the button the music started to play again. The classic part Virgil grabbed her hand and danced with her

"You have to feel the music" He said his face close to her ear. "Ore else you won't get it good. "

Again, their bodies moved perfectly like one their eyes locked. After that song the music from the tango started to play and Virgil grinned "Who's teasing who now? " he started to dance again with her

"Not my choice. It's that blasted Lester chose these songs and we have to mix them up. "

"So, someone else gets to dance like this with you? " Virgil murmured

"Hmm" Isabelle mumbled "It's the thing at a music school Virgil. "

"True, so how long will you be gone today"

"Don't know, I have to drop some stuff off. And pick stuff up. Arrange some things. Maybe I'll sent Gordon back to the island and call when I need a pickup. That way I can do some schoolwork. "

Virgil raised his eyebrow "Its summer break Izzy"

"I know. But it might take a while. And don't want to bug Gordon with penny that long"

"He wont mind, I would love to check your health again tonight. Just making sure"

"Virgil I am fine. Let it go" Isabelle sighed stepping to steps backwards so that she wasn't that close to him. Her body was screaming for his closeness. But she needed the distance "I don't need a babysitter"

"It's just looking out. And making sure your back for dinner. You're spending your break here. So, what's the use on staying back at the apartment "

Isabelle crossed her arms. "It's a couple of days. " Isabelle rolled her eyes. " Never mind. I am going to get ready" she walked past him grabbing her phone and water bottle. She walked back but was grabbed by her arm and swirled around.

Virgil looked straight into her eyes "What are you hiding Lizzy" he said "and don't lie. I know you better than anyone. "

"Nothing, " Isabelle said trying not to show she was lying big time. Virgil stepped closer keeping his eyes locked. Isabelle stepped back trying to get out of his stare she swallowed. And cursed in her head when she bumped against the door "Stop staring" she said

"Stop lying"

"I am not"

"there you go again" Virgil said he was standing so close to her "I will find out Izzy you know that. We don't keep secrets from each other"

"why are you so persistent in finding out what I am according to you, keeping from you. How about what your doing to me. Let's talk about that" Isabelle said changing the subject. He was so close to her breath hitched he needed to stop before they both did something they couldn't stop. "Virg, s..stop" she whispered.

"Stop with what? " Virgil whispered his lips so close almost touching hers He cursed when someone was banging on the door.

"Izzy you ready? We're leaving" Gordon shouted.

Isabelle was panting "A…almost" she shouted quickly parting she looked at him with wide eyes. Was this what they wanted? Her body did want him, her mind to but her common sense was telling her different. "I am coming Gordon. " She grabbed her stuff "I have to go. See you soon promise" She said looking at him

Virgil nodded he rubbed his face almost again this was killing him. He needed coffee. He went to the kitchen muttering things to himself

"Someone has a bad mood" Johns hologram appeared

"Hmpf" Virgil huffed grabbing a cup of coffee

"What's gotten you so grumpy? " John asked. "Gordon just left with izzy something about shopping? A gala at penny's"

The look Virgil gave john said enough

"Your moody because of Izzy? " John asked getting a nod from Virgil. "What's going on? "

"I almost kissed her"

"Oh….." John mumbled.

"and she's up to something. And normally I can get it out of her. But she's persistent this time. ore someone interrupts us before I could continue"

"Did they interrupt the kissing part or interrogation part? " John asked getting slightly confused

" Both"

"oh, so what are we going to do about Izzy? Are you going to interrogate her, or do I have to dig into her personal stuff like phone and mail? "

"I don't know. If you get into her personal stuff shell get really mad. And I don't know if she will ever trust us again"

"That's true, maybe we need a family meeting or give her a couple of days" John shrugged "Maybe she is really stressed out because of the exams. "

"Hmmm" Virgil answered sipping his coffee

"hey John" Scott said walking in grabbing himself a cup of coffee to. "what's up with you? " he said looking at Virgil who was looking like he could explode

"He almost kissed her"

"told you. You two can't resist longer" Scott grinned

Gordon an Isabelle landed a couple hours later. "I am going to grab lunch with penny. You are going to your School? "

"Yep, " Isabelle smiled. "And getting a dress. Shall I call you when I need you. I will see how much work I got. But I am afraid it could take a while. So you can return to the island"

"You sure? Virgil told me you were probably back for dinner"

"Well, I told him I had more things to do. Like exams and stuff" Isabelle said smiling and waving him off as she walked to the metro station. There she stepped into the metro and grabbed her phone. "How long will it take to get the results back? "

"A couple days probably. Are you with them now?"

"Why do you want to know? " Isabelle asked texting back

"Because their watching you. You better delete all the messages and get a different number for our communication. "

"Why can't they know? " Isabelle asked. While she put the bags with hair into an envelope and wrote the address down. She put in the letter with info in it. And sealed the envelope.

"Because they want to keep you for them self"

"Why would they, if they wanted that I would have been living with them and I am not. "

"No that's true, but just wait and see. "

Isabelle sighed and put her phone in her pocket. She got out of the metro and put the envelope in a mailbox. Then she went into Walmart. And got herself another phone with a different number.

She texted mystery with her new number. And deleted all the other messages she put the phone into her pocket and went to her school.
