It was 11:30 in the night when Isabella reached home. She unloaded her luggage with the cab driver's help and paid him. Turning towards her old home, a wave of nostalgia hit her. Nothing had changed. The house was exactly how it was five years back. Taking a deep breath, she walked up towards the main door and pressed the doorbell, and waited, holding her breath unconsciously. Hudson had just gone into the kitchen to get a bottle of water when the doorbell rang. Thinking it to be Weston, he went to open the door. Cody's dad had a fall and was admitted to the hospital. Weston was with Cody the whole day at the hospital. Hudson had also gone to the hospital to see him but he returned home an hour back.As he opened the door, he blinked with disbelief seeing Isabella standing at the doorstep at nearly midnight. He pinched himself to check whether he was drea

Weston's sleepy body climbed onto her bed like every night and soon dozed off to a deep, uninterrupted slumber. Isabella knew that he had come into her room at night but she didn't disturb him knowing that he was still in his sleepy state. However, in the wee hours of the morning, she felt his arms scoop her up and place her close to himself. "I love you, Isabella, " he mumbled in his sleep, his fingers touching her neck, stroking it as if searching for something. Isabella knew exactly what he was looking for. The pendant. She never took it off so when his fingers found it, he snuggled more into her and slept peacefully with a small smile on his lips. Isabella sighed when he didn't wake up. She wanted him to wake up and face her, she wanted him to kiss her, she wanted to know what was troubling him, she wanted to know why he was avoiding her. She had waited impatiently for him the whole day and whole

The next morning for the first time Isabella woke up to see Weston's face inches away from hers, watching her intently. "Good morning, Isabella, " he whispered in a husky morning voice, dipping his head to kiss her neck. Isabella blushed to see him the first thing in the morning. She had wanted this ever since she had returned home. "Good morning, Weston, " she answered, closing her eyes as a tremor ran down her body when his stubble grazed her neck. "Do you have to go to work?" She asked eagerly, not wanting to let him go. Weston chuckled. "Yes, baby but I'll return early. Will you go out with me?" He asked her tenderly. The soft endearment blew her mind and she smiled happily. "Yes, of course, I will. I thought you'd never ask me out!" She said

After that overwhelming first date, Weston and Isabella kissed and cuddled in each other's arms at night. "What did you do the whole day?" He asked her with curiosity. Isabella smiled, her eyes lost in the thoughts of her second story. "I started writing a sequel to Faded Dreams. It would be the story of our dreams coming true, of finding one another again," she whispered. Weston looked at her with disbelief. "Really? That's wonderful," he appreciated. "And what did you do?" Asked Isabella. Weston smiled at her."Missed you, worked, and then missed you more. I'm bored with this job, I want to do something more challenging, " he confessed. "Then go ahe

As he carried her to the bed, Isabella realized that this was the life she had always craved. She was now his, completely his. The love-making this time was more of an exploration, gentler than before. This was what they had been looking forward to since last night. As they lay side by side, gasping for breath, calming their rapidly beating hearts, Isabella couldn't help but feel a tug at her heartstrings when she turned and saw him staring at her. His electric blue eyes looked incredible in the afternoon light filtering through the curtains, his lips pinker from their kisses. They were the most precious treasures to her now just like he was, completely. A surge of love filled her heart and when he rolled to his side to face her, his gaze hooked to her mouth, his fingers tracing their outline, she was lost again. "I'm not getting enough of you, Isab
