I have no idea what was going on on the screen; I spent most of my time fighting off Maddy's advances.
"Maddy cut it out."
"That's not what you usually say, now come on let's fool around everyone else is doing it."
"Not tonight okay."
"Fuck you Drake, it's been weeks, don't tell me you're still hung up on your little sister's pussy..."
"Ssh, will you shut the fuck up about that?"
"What, you don't want our friends to know you fucked your sweet as pie little sister?"
"That's it." I got up to leave, if she was looking for an argument I wasn't going to give her one, there was no way I was going to embarrass Isabella like that.
"Oh sit down already, you're always so serious lately."
I spent the rest of the movie with my mind stuck at home with Isabella, hoping that she knew she could trust me not to touch Maddy tonight.
I was jolted back to the present with Maddy's next announcement.
"I found someone for Bella to date, that way she doesn't have to tag along behind us anymore and be underfoot.
Bitch, I felt my pulse quicken with sickening fear, what the fuck was she up to now?
"What're you talking about?"
"Jason Stewart, our gardener's son, he's perfect for Bella, just a year or so younger than her but he's big for his age, they're both losers so they'd be perfect for each other..."
"Not in this fucking lifetime." I no longer gave a fuck what she did or didn't do, I'd listened to her ridicule Isabella, be smarmy and cutting, I'd even cut her some slack because I felt guilty for wanting Isabella, but the idea that she would try to bring some man into my girl's life, that was a deal breaker.
"What do you care Drake, she's your stepsister not your girlfriend, I'm your girlfriend remember?"
"Not anymore you're not, we're through, I told you what would happen if you fucked with Isabella, well now you've gone too far."
"What, by finding her a date?"
"No by calling her a loser and thinking your gardener's son is good enough for her, she happens to come from the wealthiest family in this fucking state, how fucking dare you. If she wanted to date a janitor, that would be her choice, but the fact that you think she can't do any better is bullshit and you know it."
"She's not from a wealthy family, you are, her mother was nothing but a poor housewife until your dad came along and rescued both of them, she's not one of us."
"Fuck you, stay the hell away from me and Isabella."
"You think I don't know what this is about, you'll regret this."
I left before she could finish her threats I no longer cared.
Chapter 9
The feeling of freedom was overwhelming as I hurried home, I didn't want her spending one more second than necessary hurting because I'd been too chicken shit to call things off with Maddy.
How could I have been so stupid, the more I thought about it the more I realized I'd done Isabella a great disservice, she deserved all of me, especially after she'd given me her innocence and in such an unconventional way, instead of reassurance and happiness I'd left her in doubt and uncertainty.
No more, after tonight there would be no more. The next thing I had to do was break the news to my dad and her mother, they were the only two I really cared about at this point because they had the power to make things difficult. Everyone else could fuck off it no longer mattered to me one way or another. As long as my baby was okay, happy, I was fine with whatever.
The house was almost totally dark when I pulled through the gates I made sure they were locked behind me just in case Maddy decided to follow me home.
Dad and Rachel seemed to have disappeared, one of his cars were missing, good. This way Isabella and I could speak freely without fear of interruption.
I found her in my room of all places, fast asleep on my bed one of my football jerseys being used for pajamas. The tear tracks on her face made me draw in a deep breath. I'm such an asshole.
Toeing off my shoes I got on the bed with her.
"Wake up sleepyhead." Just being this close brought such peace, such heart pounding love, how had I gone this long without recognizing the signs? She's always made me feel whole.
"Hmmm, Drake you're back."
"Yes baby I'm home, I'm sorry, so sorry I left you and went out with her...."
"I understood...."
"You did?"
"Yeah, sorta...."
"Well it won't happen again it's over, I broke things off with her..."
"You did?" She came fully awake then.
"Yes baby I did, I couldn't stand being with her one second more knowing what it was doing to you, from now on you're the only woman I'll be going out on dates with okay!"
