--Isabella--
We reached the airport in exactly half an hour and the plane was ready. It is just unbelievable how I would be travelling to Philadelphia with Dave. Alone! This is unbelievable. I have never done this before. A private jet. Another city. This is so new.
By this time, I already know that I have a huge crush on him. I know I shouldn't feel this way and I promised to not love anyone. Ever. Love ultimately means heartbreak.
But this is Dave we are talking about. It is not that easy. We arrived and checked in. The security did their work of checking us before boarding the plane. When we reached near the plane, I realized that it has been 8 years since I traveled out of New York.
I don't know how this journey is going to turn out. Especially with Dave. We went inside and I gasped looking at the interiors. It was fucking beautiful. I looked around curiously as if I was a 10 year old kid. Dave being the rich ass person, went and sat comfortably. I sat in front of him and adjusted myself. He frowned before changing his seat and came sit beside me. He didn't like that seat, I guess.
I raised my eyebrows and he smirked "The view from here is better."
Oh.
The announcement for taking off was made and my heart started beating faster with every passing minute. I closed my eyes shut and held on to Dave's wrist. He noticed the abnormal rise and fall of my chest as I breathed. This is harder than I thought.
He turned towards me and asked, "Never been on a flight before?"
"I have. Just been too long. I- I will be f-fine." I kept my answer short and focused on my breathing.
All of a sudden, Dave held my chin and turned my upper body towards him. He leaned towards me and brought his face impossibly close to me. I widened my eyes not able to believe out what he was going to do. Our nose touched and I inhaled his sweet-but-sexy scent. He tilted his face towards the right and tilted mine in the opposite direction.
Oh my god! He was going to kiss me? Shall I kiss him or shall I not? Just one wouldn't harm me, would it? He brought his second hand and placed it on my cheek. He caressed my cheeks and as a reflex, I closed my eyes. The hand which was holding my chin went back and traced my spine. The shiver which it sent down my spine made my lean my chest forward.
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!
He rubbed his thumb over my lips and just when I thought he was going to kiss me, he removed his hand from my face.
Oh...
I slowly opened my eyes trying to figure out what just happened. He was smirking. I looked at him in confusion. He looked outside and then back at me. I immediately looked outside and saw the clouds. They were beautiful.
He immediately took a pillow from the empty seat in front of us and placed it on his lap. I wonder why.
I looked at Dave again and smiled. "You tricked me? Damn, you are such a player!"
"Of course, I did. Did you see your face when you were scared? It looked like you were going to pee in your pants. I just helped you."
I hit his arm and rolled my eyes "I wasn't that scared. Gosh I thought-" I trailed off realizing that I would have said something which would make the moment awkward.
"I wouldn't want our first one to be this way. I am a big fan of mile high club. I would love it if you are a member of that too but I wanted you to be different from the others." I heard him say and I blushed. I am pretty sure he didn't mean it. And what the hell was wrong with me just now?
Now he must be thinking I have feelings for him. Well no doubt, I do but I can't let him know. I am not his type. What if he plays with my heart and leaves it broken in the end. I am quite good in not showing my feelings so not letting him know wouldn't be a problem. But if he keeps getting close to me, then I don't think I will be able to hide my feeling for long.
If he ever gets to know, I am pretty sure he would just laugh at my face and break our friendship. I don't want to let that happen. I would prefer Dave as my friend and not let him know about my feelings rather than letting him know and losing him forever. His not so innocent eyes, his smile, his double meaning jokes, etc. always makes my day. I think keeping your crush a secret is the best decision a girl can make. Especially, when you know that he can never be yours. It's better that I preserve the relationship we share now. Friendship.
From the past 8 years, he is the best thing that ever happened to me. He is the only one who tries to make me smile. Even now, he refuses to leave me alone. He took up the responsibility of making me smile without me asking for it. Since the death of my parents, other than Mrs. Doris, if anyone has looked after me so much, it is him.
Yup! It's definitely him. No second thoughts.
We soon landed and once again while landing Dave distracted me. No, not the same way. Unfortunately. He just cracked jokes and held my hand. Well that was enough to forget about my surroundings. I am never aware of anything around me when I am with him.
Is that a bad thing? It definitely is.
Do I care? No!
We landed on Philadelphia around noon. We departed from the airport and as soon as I stepped foot on the land of a new city, I saw a sleek black Mercedes Benz waiting for us. Geez! This man has everything planned. Perks of being rich you know.
We got into the car and drove off.
"Dave, what is this?" I asked. If it was about distracting me, then we could have gone anywhere. He must be having some attachment to Philadelphia.
"This? This is a car. It has four wheels. It's one of the many means of transport. It-"
"Dave. I know what it is. I am not a kid. What I mean to ask is why am-"
"No reason. Philadelphia is my home town and I was planning to visit it for a quite a while. I saw this as a perfect opportunity. Plus, I can show you around the town if we have time. But right now, we are heading to the mansion." He said as he focused on the road.
"Mansion?" I asked. "Yeah. of course. My grandparents lived here. But then they both died in a car accident two years back. Since then, the house has been empty. My dad refused to sell it since it has so many memories. It's pretty gorgeous on the insides so I thought you will like it there and it might just help you in getting distracted from school."
"I don't need expensive things and mansions for getting distracted. I just need someone beside me who cares for me." I said, not with the intentions of letting him hear it but he heard it anyways. He looked at me for a brief second. It seemed like he wanted to say something but I guess he didn't because he had to focus on the road.
The rest of the ride was silent. Not the awkward silent but it was a comfortable silent. Well, anything about Dave is comforting. I can't really complain. I just want to be around him. As much as I can. Instead of thinking of all the 'buts' and 'ifs' which would have rather completed my statement, I thought of enjoying the moment to my fullest.
After a few minutes, we reached the mansion and steal my cupcakes if I say that he is rich. He is loaded, damn it. The mansion was fucking huge.
The Anderson have shit load of money. Not that I am crazy about money but they stood on a whole different level. I don't think they can be compared to anyone in the whole of New York city. As soon as we entered we crossed a beautiful water fountain. The front yard had flowers of vibrant colors and a variety of trees. There were two white benches on one side of the garden and a a swing right next to it.
Dave parked the car in front of the double doors which led to the mansion. After telling me to wait, Dave got down and jogged towards my side to open the gate. As I got out, he placed a hand above my head so that I don't hit my head on the top.
Cute.
A man in his 50's walked towards us from the other side and gave us a a low bow. Dave placed a hand on the small of my back and pulled me closer to him.
"Como estas, Brais?" Dave said. (How are you?)
"Todo bien, mi muchacho. Quien es esta bella dama?" Brias said as he looked at me. I took it as my chance to introduce myself.(All fine, my boy. Who is this pretty lady?)
"I am Isabella." I said as I smiled at him. He returned the smile and gestured us to come inside.
"Por favor, dime que te quedaras con esta" he said.
"Este se quedara por mucho tiempo. Ojala por siempre." Dave said while looking at me. They were surely talking about me and I couldn't help but feel frustrated. Stop hiding behind your languages bitches.
"Mind telling me what you are talking about me?" I said, trying to act not-so-curious.
"Soon, baby girl." Brias went in a different direction which I assumed led to the kitchen. It was then that I realized that Dave still hasn't removed his hand from my back. And by the looks of it, I don't think he is going to remove it anytime soon. Another lady came towards us for taking our school bags and keeping it elsewhere. I didn't give my bag because, let's just say it has a few girly stuffs which I will be needing later on. We passed many areas of the house which were, needless to say, beautiful. I just couldn't help myself from gasping.
"You like it?" Dave asked curiously.
"Like it? I love it. It is so beautiful! I have never seen a mansion more beautiful than this."
"I am glad you liked it." He said, a smile evident on his face. He led me upstairs to one of the rooms. If this was the guest room, I wonder how the master bedroom would be. Gosh! I can't even imagine.
"You must be tired. Rest for some time. I will be back in a few minutes. Okay?" It was only then that he let me go. Its just been a few seconds since he removed his hand and I was already missing his touch.
"Yeah." I said, unsure of whether I should ask him when he will be coming back. With that he left the room for doing whatever business he wanted. I hope he comes back fast. I don't want a big house and butlers running around to serve me. I just want him to be by my side even if it is for a little while.
I laid down on the bed and I swear for a second, I felt like I was floating in air. It was so soft that I immediately felt sleepy. I turned to the side and closed my eyes. This felt so good.
All of a sudden, I felt someone's presence behind me but I didn't need think twice because I knew it was Dave. I couldn't help but smile internally. I let out a deep breath and before I could turn, he wrapped his hand around my waist and brought himself close to me.
"Just let it be. I know you need someone to hold on to you." He said with so much assurance that for a moment I felt like he heard what I was thinking.
My back was against his chest. I knew he just took a bath because of the strong scent coming from his body and wet hair from which the cold water was dripping on to my neck. I would have protested because the unusual feeling in my stomach was too strong for me to handle but I was too tired.
Or maybe I just didn't want to protest and was liking the butterflies in my stomach.
