"Then you smiled over your shoulder. For a minute I was stone cold sober. I pulled you closer to my chest."

The soft voice of singing wakes me up out my sleep. The morning light blinds me and I have to squint my eyes open to see even a little bit. When my eyes finally adjust to the light, a half naked Issac is the first thing I see. His tan colored towel is tied and hang low on his waist, showing off his chiseled chest, 6 pack, and defined v-line. 

Best. Morning. Ever.

And you asked me to stay over, I said I already told ya. I think that you should get some rest." His soft melodic voice sings to our song. I never knew Issac could sing.

"I never knew you could sing." I say, with a terribly groggy voice. I rub my eyes and sit up and hold my weight on my elbows.

"I cannot sing." He says, with a smile on his face as he looks at me. 

"Suurreee" I say, sarcasm obvious in my voice.

"God, I probably look like a troll." I mumble and run my hands through my curly hair, that is a little knotted. I need some moisturizer and detangler ASAP. 

"You look beautiful, even when you drool." He says, with a smirk on his face. He pulls a shirt over his head, covering his exposed torso, much to my dismay.

"I don't droll!" I shriek and wipe the corners of my mouth, feeling paranoid. Issac chuckles and unties his towel. The towel drops and I quickly cover my eyes and taking deep breaths to calm my fast heart beat and butterflies in my stomach.

"Bay, I am not naked down below. " Issac says and I can hear the smirk in his voice. I peak through my hands and he is wearing a grey Calvin Klein briefs. I put my hands to my side and look out at the open balcony, the white curtains swaying with the breeze. 

"Did I leave any of my moisturizer and detangler here?"

"Yeah, on the second shelf. Cantu, right?"

"Yeah." I say and rip the sheets off me and the cold breeze hits me.

"How do you change in this cold?"

"I like the cold." Issac shrugs and sprays some cologne on himself. I walk over to the drawer that has my clothes in it.

"We are going out, so take out something that you could go out with." He says and plants a kiss on my temple and walks out the room. I stand up and walk to Issac's closet and to my section with the other half of my clothes are. I take out a pair of black jeans and a light pink and grey top. I take down my tan colored jacket and place all the clothes on Issac's bed and head straight for the shower.

...

"You girls take forever to get ready!" Issac complains.

"Shut up." I mumble and run the mascara on my eyelashes again. 

"It's true. You already look beautiful without all the makeup."

"Issac, all I am putting on is mascara, lip gloss, and some blush. I will still look like me." I reassure him and cap the mascara. I take out my lip gloss and glide the lip gloss along my lips and it leaves behind a silky, shimmery pink color behind making my lips look plumper.

"I'm done."

"Finally."

"Where are we going?"

"We will be hanging out with friends."

"Are we hanging out with Farris again?" I ask, feeling the dread in the pit of my stomach. I hate Farris. He is a friend of Issac's who often plays basketball with him or lacrosse. Every time Issac turns his back, he is always flirting with me or trying to ask me out or some bullshit. I almost snapped his wrist before when he tried to touch my arm, but he still keeps coming back for more. Issac, being the asshole he is, finds the whole thing quite funny because I always have this disgusted look on my face when Farris licks his lips while looking at me. 

Yeah Issac may have sprained his ankle by hitting him with a lacrosse stick or given him 2 concussions by hitting him with a basketball, but it's like its such a regular occurrence that he is no longer angry or jealous. Farris isn't even my type and Issac knows that. Despite all the beatings Farris has gotten, he still keeps coming back for more.

Issac snorts and starts laughing. 

"This is not funny."

"Then tell him to fuck off." Issac says with a grin on his face.

"I do and I tell him where to put his tic tac dick to and it's not in me." I huff out in annoyance and wrap the pink Burberry scarf that once belonged to Issac's mother around my neck, offering me warmth. Issac comes up behind me and hugs me.

"You are gorgeous" He says and looks at me in the full body length mirror. "I am glad that things aren't awkward between us anymore."

"So am I." I tell him honestly and smile.

"Don't worry about Farris. I spoke to him already and he knows that if he flirts with you again, that I will break his knee and ruin his basketball career, so no need to worry about him. Plus, I am your knight in...what did you call it again. Golden armor? Didn't you say I was your grey knight in golden armor?"

"Yeah, that was hella corny. " I say and snuggle more into his embrace.

"I found it cute." He says and moves the scarf away from my neck and places a soft kiss there, leaving behind tingles in its place. Issac feathers kisses on my neck and my eyes flutter close. I let out a breath, feeling my whole body relax.

Well except the butterflies practically dancing around in my stomach.

"Issac" I breathe out. 

"Hmm" He responds and kisses my collarbone. 

Oh god. He will be the death of me.

"W-we have to stop."

"Your words and body language don't match up." He mumbles and kisses my jaw.

It takes every ounce of self control in my body to push him away and move away from him, putting distance between us knowing the direction we were going, will definitely mean me losing something I may not be ready to give up just yet.

"I-I need a cup of water. Very very cold water." I mumble before running out the room and down the stairs.

Don't get me wrong. I love Issac and I envision myself having a future with him, settling down with him, but I always planned on losing that to my fiance or husband, not my boyfriend  of 2 and a half months and best friend of 6. I feel like I have known Issac for years, but still, I always wanted to lose it to someone who I know will stay with me forever, guaranteed.

I take a bottle of cold water out the fridge and down as much as I can, enough to calm the heat I feel all around my body.

"Be careful, you may choke." A deep, raspy voice belonging to one Issac Evans says. I end up choking on the water anyway and I start coughing wildly and Issac comes behind me and pats my back.

Why do I feel like there was a double meaning behind his words?

Maybe it is just in my head.

"You okay?" He asks.

"Y-yeah. Ready to go?" I ask.

"Yes, but first..." He says and jogs behind the island and takes something out. In his hands, is a beautiful bouquet of peonies.

"Happy Valentines Day Bay." He says with a grin on his face.

"Awww. Thank you Issac." I gush and take the peonies and touch its soft petals. I rest the flowers on the table and walk over to Issac. I lean up and place a kiss on his cheek and then lean back down.

"Your welcome beautiful. We have a lot in store for today."

"Of course we do." I say, sass dripping off every word.

"Is that sass I hear?" He asks with a grin on his face.

"If you have to question it, you're deaf." I retort back and walk past him and out the house.

Hello all my readers!!

This chapter had a little time jump. Not even by a lot. It was probably like 3 weeks, so Issac and Bay have repaired their relationship and gotten past the awkwardness. It is Valentines's Day. The next chapter will show what happens. 

I can't believe TGWNS is almost over. The journey has truly been great, but this book will NOT be the last time you hear about me. I will explain that all later. 

I hope you all liked the chapter.

Vote and comment what you think.

Do you think Issac was too forgiving or overreacted? 

What do you think Issac will be do for their Valentine's Day date?

What do you think will happen to Victoria after her public humiliation and her big secret being revealed? 

Look at that adorable pic of Bay and Issac in the beginning of the chapter. If you guys want any cute pics of Bay and Issac look up Jaylen Barron and Bruce Herberlin- Earle or Zoe and Marcus on Free Rein. This book is not a fanfiction. I just used these two characters because I knew I would be easy to find pics of the two together online and it would make it all so cute since they are shipped by a ton of people already, so they will have a bunch of pictures online. 

SHARE THIS BOOK TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS! POST THIS ON YOUR READING LISTS, ETC.

It all means a lot. Thank you to all of you who have told your friends about my book or put this up on your reading lists. You are all champs.
