Under His Protection

“A date??” Isabella asked, with a timid and low voice as she tried to hide the amusement she was feeling inside.

She had always been too busy for any form of fun as Mr white had always been on her tail about work and it had always been just her and her best friend Audrey.

But there was a slight problem, Isabella knew this was not the right time to have fun, especially with the letter she had just received from the white and there was also Jessica, whom she did not want to have any form of face-off with at that moment.

“Vincent I really would have loved to but I would just have to pass,” Isabella replied politely her tone uneven and firm, she knew how stubborn Vincent could be especially when he wanted something and she didn’t want him probing any further.

“Isabella, I know you have been stressed lately, especially from your family and work. but all I am trying to do is help you have a relaxed moment, where you don’t have to think about any of these and I promise that you will not regret it.” Vincent replied in a calm tone as he pleaded with her.

Vincent had it in mind that Isabella would not easily give in to any form of intimacy with him, he had often wondered why Isabela was always so cold towards him especially whenever he wanted her to do something out of their agreement.

“Please just agree to this, just this one time.” Vincent pleaded again, he knew he would have been resilient, especially with how much effort he had put into it.

Moreover, he could see from Isabella’s expression that something was bothering her and all he wanted was to make her relax which he knew she desperately needed not just for her but for the safety of his child.

“I am grateful for your lovely thought but I just want to be left alone!” Isabella ordered her voice shrilled and dismissive, she was already irritated by how Vincent was dogmatic about her choice and just could not keep calm but Vincent didn’t seem to care about that.

“I can’t leave you alone, I am responsible for keeping you safe and I would love to see you happy,” Vincent assured her, he didn’t care if he had to persuade her a million times but he knew he could not just give up on Isabella no matter what.

Hearing these words from Vincent made Isabella suddenly feel guilty for all the unjustified attitude she had been showing him, Vincent had done nothing but make sure she had everything she wanted and had always gone out of his way to make sure she was happy.

Treating Vincent without concern for his feelings was not in any way showing how she appreciated his effort.

“Ok fine, I will go,” Isabella replied nonchalantly, still in her cold demeanor contrary to her reply she wanted to engage in something nice to distract from all that was going on around her, and for some reason, she ha, hadways looked forward to having a real date with a man.

Isabella had always refused a special outing with Timothy as they were never on the same page, she hated any form of intimacy with him and had gone out with his younger brother instead but she had never really gone on a romantic date.

“thank you, for doing this with me.” Vincent acknowledged with a huge smile, that he had looked forward to having some time alone with Isabella just to make sure she was happy.

But most important he had recently noticed, how strange his feeling was blooming towards Isabella, which made him curious to get closer to Isabella.

After a few minutes, Isabella was ready to go on their date and was putting on a nice and simple-looking gown as she didn’t want too much attention but Vincent on the other hand was looking dapper on his beige colour vintage outfit that made him look very classy.

As they set out on their first date, though it was not the first time Vincent and Isabella were using the car together, Vincent was exceptionally filled with happiness as they drove out together.

Vincent could not stop himself from the weird happiness that he was feeling and he certainly could not hide it as Isabella could see him smiling so loudly as they drove off.

“We are here!” Vincent announced enthusiastically as he got down to open the door for Isabella, he had certainly mastered all his gentlemanly duties as he meticulously handed them in every moment of the evening.

As they walked into the Cinema, they went straight to register and get their food, Vincent had already bought the tickets before arrival and it made it fast and easier.

Vincent could tell Isabella was not comfortable as she constantly tried to shield her face with a cap and he tried his best to get them seated before any of his fans caused a scene.

“I am sorry, i didn’t think they would recognise me that much.” Vincent apologized as they walked into the theatre, he had worn dark glasses, just because he didn’t want any form of recognition.

But Vincent being known for his awesome acting skills and popularity was quickly recognized, as they took their seat, Isabella and Vincent got comfortable in the theatre as the light went off and the movie started.

Isabella had taken off the face cap as she was now sure of being safe especially as the theatre was not filled with too many persons.

At first, Isabella wasn’t feeling the movie as she was absent-minded, she thought about how messed up things were getting in her life, especially with the whites, and how all she had worked for was already going to waste.

But something about the movie drew her attention and she decided to live in the moment, though it was a romantic movie Isabella could relate to the female lead and started to engross herself in it.

“Are you okay?” Vincent asked softly, as he tried his best not to get too much attention, he suddenly noticed Isabella’s expression changing and wondered if he had chosen the wrong movie.

“Yeah, I am,” Isabella answered anxiously quickly getting herself back to reality, she had been lost in the movie wondering if she could ever prevail over all the obstacles she was facing just like the female lead did, especially the way she managed to find true love amidst all she was going through.

Vincent knew something was off but he just could not interpret Isabella’s mood because he had never seen Isabella so emotional as this made him wonder if he had ever taken his time to observe her and decided to take a closer look at Isabella.

As he took a tour to look at Isabella, he found himself lost in awe of how she looked up close, though they were mostly together Vincent had never taken his time to check Isabella out, and he was charmed at how beautiful and meticulously pretty she was looking even from the side view.

“What’s wrong?” Isabella asked curiously as she felt the warm breath from Vincent on her neck sending an unusual signal down her spine, she wondered why he was suddenly acting weird.

“N- nothing!” He replied as he tried to hide his emotions but Vincent was still in chaos as he could no longer comprehend his feelings and kept on stealing glances at Isabella, he kept wondering if he was just drawn to her because of the baby or if he was already falling for her.

The movie also played a big role in convincing Vincent to realize his feelings towards Isabella as the male lead was always showing the female lead his affection by caring for her and always wanting to make sure she was happy.

Isabella on the other hand had since noticed Vincent weird behavior and decided to tell him off, as she moved close to turn towards him, she suddenly froze as he was already staring at her.

As their eyes locked on each other, Isabella could feel the steam blowing off her body as she suddenly became hot, she saw

herself gave in to his stare but the gesture from the other participant at the theatre jolted her back to her senses.

Vincent on the other hand was confused by Isabella’s sudden movement as she quickly moved away from him, “What’s wrong?” Vincent asked as he moved closer to Isabella.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nothing really, I just felt we were too close and I needed to concentrate on the movie.” Isabella lied trying her best to convince Vincent and it worked.

They were back to their normal position and their attentions on the movie but it was as if the universe had conspired to make sure their date was romantic as the movie couples took their first kiss.

Vincent suddenly felt drawn to Isabella and decided to give his a try as he leaned in for a kiss.
