Yayo ~ Isaac Garcia

Chapter 30

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow across the room, I found myself lost in thought. Sitting at my vanity, I absentmindedly brushed through my hair, the rhythmic motion soothing my racing mind.

The events of the day replayed in my mind like a broken record, each moment etched into my memory with startling clarity. From the exhilaration of the theatre club rehearsal to the tender moments shared with Isaac, it had been a whirlwind of emotions.

But amidst the excitement and anticipation, there was a sense of apprehension lingering in the air. The upcoming event honoring Katherine as Vet of the Year loomed large in my mind, a reminder of the responsibilities and expectations that came with being part of the Walter family.

As I continued to brush through my hair, my thoughts drifted to Isaac. The memory of our passionate kiss sent a thrill coursing through me, but it was accompanied by a nagging sense of uncertainty. Could what we shared truly blossom into something more, or was it just a fleeting moment in time?

Lost in my thoughts, I barely noticed Jackie entering the room, her presence pulling me back to reality. With a warm smile, she joined me at the vanity, offering a comforting presence in the midst of my inner turmoil.

As we sat together in companionable silence, the weight of the evening's event hanging heavy in the air. But despite the uncertainty that lay ahead, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of excitement stirring within me. Whatever the night may bring, I knew that I would face it with the unwavering support of my sister by my side.

As Jackie and I descended the stairs, I couldn't help but admire her stunning coral-colored dress, the fabric flowing elegantly around her figure. Her radiant smile lit up the room, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of envy at her effortless beauty.

My own cream-colored dress cascaded lightly around me, its flowy sleeves adding a touch of whimsy to the ensemble. I adjusted the delicate fabric, feeling a sense of anticipation building as we made our way downstairs.

As we reached the bottom of the stairs, I couldn't help but notice Alex's lingering gaze on Jackie, his eyes practically drooling over her. Suppressing a quiet "ew," I quickly made my way over to the rest of the family, eager to escape his unwanted attention.

Approaching Isaac and Lee, who were dressed in their finest attire, I couldn't help but feel a rush of admiration. Isaac looked particularly dashing in his shirt and tie, a hint of mischief dancing in his eyes.

"You look good, Mr. Bond," I remarked with a playful smile, unable to resist teasing him.

"Thanks, bae," Isaac replied with a grin, his arm slipping around my waist in a casual gesture of affection.

But as I leaned in closer, I couldn't help but notice the stinging smell of his cologne, the overpowering scent filling the air around us.

"Damn, did you drop your cologne bottle?" I teased, wrinkling my nose at the overpowering scent.

Lee chuckled beside us, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Nah, Isaac's just Isaacing," he remarked with a smirk, earning a playful shove from his cousin.

Despite the playful banter, I couldn't shake the feeling of excitement bubbling within me. As we prepared to head to the event honoring Katherine, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the company of my family and the warmth of Isaac's embrace. Whatever the night may bring, I knew that I was surrounded by love and laughter, and that was all that mattered.

As we made our way to the event, the anticipation hung thick in the air, mingling with the scent of Isaac's cologne and the gentle hum of conversation. The streets were alive with activity, bathed in the warm glow of streetlights as we navigated our way through the bustling crowds.
