Isabelle's POV

I've been thinking about what Sophia said last night. About how Alexander loves me so much. I mean, out of all the girls in the world he could've dated, married, he chose me.

"Good morning!" I say happily. Xander opens his eyes and he yawns.

"Hey babe," he says. "How was your sleep?"

"It was good," I lie. Actually, I couldn't sleep.

"Good, now what should we do today?" He asks.

Well, lets see. We could take a walk, or go to the beach, or go shopping.

"Shopping!" I exclaim.

"Good. But you have to let me pick out an outfit for you, and let me buy it." He says.

"But-" I start.

"No buts." He interrupts.

"Fine." I sigh.

We get out of bed. I slip on a striped orange Abercrombie shirt and some jeans shorts.

"Okay, I'm ready." Xander says.

"Yeah, me too." I agree.

We step out of our amazing guest house. Alex opens the main door and holds it for me.

"Hey, Sharlene!" I say. "Do you mind if we take the car to go out for a bit?"

"Sure honey," she replies. "Can you take Soph with you too?"

"Of course!" I answer.

"Aw, mom!" Xander complains. I slap his arm.

"What was that?" Sophia asks as she emerges from upstairs.

"Your coming shopping with us." He says.

"Yay!" She exclaims. "I'm coming!"

We all walk to the garage and get in the car. Alexander drives and Sophia sits in the back seat.

I turn on the radio and find a One Direction song. One thing!

"Ohmigosh!" Sophia practically screams. Xander winces. "I love this song!"

I turn it up and open all the windows. Sophia and I sing/scream all the words.

"Get out, get out, get out of my head!"

"And fall into my arms instead!"

On and on. Tormenting Xander.

---

Finally, we reach the mall.

"Where should we go?" I ask.

"Hollister!" Alex yells.

"Quiet down!" I scold him.

"C'mon!" Sophia urges.

We run to Hollister.

"Okay, pick me a good one!" I tell Alexander. He nods and runs off.

"Sophia," I say. "You can go pick out a shirt or something. I'll buy it for you."

"Really?" She asks excitedly. "Thanks!"

"No problem!" I say.

She scurries away. I see Xander coming over to me.

"Hey! What did you get for me?" I ask.

"Just go try it on!" He urges.

I walk to the dressing room. I undress and try on what he picked out.

A lace-backed light pink shirt. A red cami. And white short shorts.

I come out and show Xander.

"I love it!" I exclaim.

"Great! Hand it over the door and ill go pay for it while you change." He replies.

I go back in and throw the clothes out to him.

"Hey! That landed on my head!" He shouts. I giggle.

I put on my shirt and shoes and walk out. I don't see Alexander, so I go look for Sophia.

"Did you find something?" I ask after I find her.

She nods, holding up a light blue sweater.

"Ooh! That's cute! Lets go pay!" I say.

"Okay." She replies. We stand in line and pay.

"Xander probably went outside to wait since its so crowded in here." I declare.

We walk outside and look for Alex. I look around and see him with.....

Nicole! What the crap is she doing here? And why is she sitting on his lap?

Xander sees me and gasps. He pushes her off of him.

"Isabelle! Wait! I can explain!" He calls.

I run away, fighting the tears that keep flowing.

"C'mon Sophia. Lets go." I say.

"What about Alexander?" She asks.

"He'll be back sooner or later." I assure her. Hopefully later.

I lead her to the car. Thank God I took the spare key, just in case.

I open the door and motion for Sophia to sit in the front.

"What happened, Isabelle?" She asks. "What really happened?"

I sigh. "Well, I saw Xander with Nicole. They were really close."

Sophia nods. "Oh. That girl. I hate her. She's a- a- butthole!"

I laugh. "Yeah. But-"

"No, Izzy. I don't think you understand. You mean the world to Alexander. He wouldn't do anything to hurt you." She tells me.

"I'm not sure, Soph." I say skeptically.

I know what I saw. And I don't like it
