Chapter 4

They were both lying on the couch and Cruella's head was placed on his chest while Isaac was tenderly stroking her hair. The happiness he felt having her in his arms could never be described with words. Cruella didn't speak. She just looked away deeply lost in her thoughts. She was confused beyond any imagination and she had actually no idea what to do. What shocked Cruella the most though, wasn't the fact that she had slept with Isaac (again), but that they didn't have sex. They had made love. She had slept with many others before, only this time it felt somehow different. It was different. It was passionate and extraordinary. He was gentle and he tried not to hurt her. He took care of her and it was pretty obvious.

"Cru" he whispered her name

"Mmmm.." she murmured easing herself more comfortably on his chest

"Do you want to go out on a date with me?" he asked.

She turned her head around to look at him. A chuckle escaped her lips.

"Even If I wanted to, darling, there's nowhere we can go" "Don't worry about that. I will improvise! All you have to do is say yes..." he sounded desperate. Desperate for an answer.

"Alright! Besides, I have nothing better to do" she replied casually. A huge smile appeared on Isaac's face. She had said yes! She had actually said yes! He didn't want to wait any longer, he immediately started planning everything in his mind. Cruella on the other hand fell asleep allowing him the peace and quiet he needed.


Came next morning, Isaac had left a letter in the kitchen since they had spent that night in different bedrooms. Cruella was about to start making coffee when she noticed a small cup full of the hot freshly-made liquid. Under the cup there was a small paper folded in two. She picked it up and started reading it.

"Good Morning Cru, I needed to take care of some things and run a few errands so I'm off to city. I will be back in a few hours. I made you coffee and there is also a slice of cake in the oven.

Love, Isaac"

She closed the letter and rolled her eyes. What on earth would she do? She was all alone and she was bored to death. She decided to explore the house since she hadn't had the chance to inspect all of it yet. Isaac was roaming the streets of the town to see if he could find a perfect place for their date. He came across a small diner called "Granny's" but he didn't really like it. It had to be something special. Then the thought dawned on him: he didn't need to find the perfect place. He needed to make it! After a couple of hours, Isaac went back home with a mischievous smile on his face. Cruella was sitting in one of the armchairs relishing a glass of gin.

"Looks like somebody's had fun downtown today" she noted.

"I was actually preparing our date..." he replied immediately

"Oh, someone's been a busy boy."

"I want you to be ready at 9" he added Cruella then took another sip of gin trying to hide the faint smile that formed on her face.


Cruella was at her closet trying to figure out what to wear since Isaac had given her no clue as to where he was going to take her. Without putting too much thought on it, she chose a long, sleeveless, side-slid cut-out black dress with a cleavage as revealing as it should be and the faint details gave the dress a little glitz. The white fur and a pair of long gloves fitted just right! The only thing left to do was to give the outfit some sparkle. She look in the small drawer and found only one piece of jewelry that was really perfect for the occasion. The necklace Isaac had given to her. It was discreet but it added some glamour to the outfit. She put on a pair of black high heels and took a look at the clock. It was 9:15. She wanted to keep him waiting a bit. She came out of her room and started walking down the stairs. Isaac was waiting at the bottom of the stairs looking really nervous. As he waited, he turned his head around and noticed Cruella coming down. She looked gorgeous! His eyes grew wide open at the sight of her. She was the most beautiful woman he had seen in his entire life. He struggling so hard to hold his jaw to its place that he just stared at her without being able to utter a single word.

"Oh come on, darling, say something" she encouraged him

"Yo-You look stunning..." was all he managed to say

"Thank you, darling. And you look very handsome" And he was indeed. He was wearing a black suit and on top of his white shirt you could easily distinguish a red tie.

"Shall we?" He asked offering his arm. Cruella took him by the arm and they moved together towards the door. "May I drive my car?" Isaac asked her as he closed the door behind him.

"Why? You know I am a much better driver than you!" Cruella replied bragging about her driving skills. "After all, don't forget you have given it to me, darling."

"Yes but I don't intend to let you know where we're going until we get there" She sighed as Isaac held open the passenger door for her. After he made sure she was ready to go, he got in the car, turned on the engine and started driving.

"Will you give me a clue where are we going?" she sounded annoyed and impatient at the same time.

"We will be there in a couple of minutes." They spend the rest 5 minutes in complete silence until the car stopped in a small clearing in the woods. Isaac got out of the car but by the time he had opened her door, Cruella was already out of the vehicle.

"The woods?" She said ironically.

"Wait and you will see" He took her by the arm and led her to a glade, lit by hundreds of candles. In the middle there was a beautiful table decorated with wildflowers. On it stood a bottle of gin and two glasses. Dishes of all kinds of hot delicacies were carefully settled around the table while the trees did not block the spectacular view of the night sky ornate by millions of stars.

"When did you make all this?" She asked thrilled as she sat on the chair opposite Isaac. He smiled and poured some gin in her glass.

"Do you like it?"

"Even though this is so not my style, it's so much better than I expected." She answered taking a long sip of gin.

It really wasn't really her style but it didn't bother her. She appreciated the fact that he had made such an effort only to impress her. He moved his hand and placed it on hers. Cruella glanced at him leaving her half-empty glass on the table.

"So, where did you get the food?" Cruella inquired trying to find a topic to break the ice.

"I made it." he casually replied. She took a small bite, tasting his cooking skills. "Well, darling, I must admit you are an excellent cook" she exclaimed approvingly and had herself another bite of the delicious food.


After they had finished their dinned, Isaac suggested going for a walk in the woods. Cruella didn't feel like doing that but she decided that a little walking wouldn't harm. They started walking along the river bank while Isaac was showing her the constellations.

"Enough with the constellations!" Cruella complained.

"Why are we talking so much about the stars while we can do more pleasant things?"

"Such as?"

"Kissing." She replied and stuck her mouth to his. She didn't really have control over her actions. She wanted him to stop talking and for her, this was the better way to do it. She knew what Isaac wanted from her and she had no idea why he didn't just say it! After giving it a second thought, she realized that Isaac was afraid of her rejection -He was right though- Interrupting her thoughts and their kiss, Isaac decided to declare his love for her once again. "I love you" he whispered breaking the kiss. Cruella didn't answer, she just gave him another kiss and looked at his hazel brown eyes with an innocent look –quite unusual for her- He moved his hand closer to hers and then gently grabbed it and placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles. He then crossed his fingers between hers and let their hands fall down while they were still holding each other tight. They walked all the way back to the car with their hands still wrapped together and a trace of smile in both of their faces.

"Now, it's my turn to drive!" she exclaimed impatiently, taking her seat on the driver's side.

Isaac nodded even though he didn't completely trust her driving skills. They returned home safe, however. Isaac felt dizzy but he tried to hide it. Again, they slept in separate bedrooms and even though both would much prefer each other's company in the bed, neither of them didn't say a thing.

"Good night" Isaac said approaching her just before she walked into her bedroom. Cruella came really close to him, touched his face and kissed him tenderly.

"Good night to you too, darling" she whispered between her lips and then went to her room leaving him wanting more.
