Chapter 62 - Sixty - Two : The New Plaything (1/2)
Maya's POV
”Finally, you decided to return. I thought you were planning on .... ” The rest of her words dies off when she saw the woman beside me.
Izzy's eyes narrowed down suspiciously on the woman and there was an edge to her voice as she asked ” Who is.... ”
But her voice trails off again when her eyes rested on the boy who just emerged from behind his mother.
For the first time ever, I saw Izzy stare at someone for a good five minutes without blinking, not in an intimidating manner but in a shocked, curious way.
To my surprise, Pedro made his way towards Izzy and thrust out his hand for a handshake while introducing himself ” Hi, I'm Pedro and you are? ”
Izzy didn't reply for a few seconds but kept staring at the boy, regarding him intently. Suddenly, she snorted and turned around to leave but after a few meters, turned back again and approached the boy.
”Hi, I'm Isabelle Spencer ” She said and though her face was stoic, her voice was much warmer than usual.
I had to like really wipe my eyes twice with the back of my hand to make sure I was seeing right.
When Izzy had turned away initially, I had thought in my mind ' Game over. Izzy has done it again ' but then when she turned around, I was totally dumbfounded.
Moreover, when did Izzy start introducing herself as ' Isabelle Spencer ' ? Even at class, no one dares call her ' Isabelle ' but 'Izzy '.
Now why ?
Suddenly, my eyes widened. Could it be...?
”Oh my God ” Cecil squealed at my side with adoring eyes ”They look so good together ”
They indeed looked good together. too good together. - What the f*ck! Who are we deceiving here!
Izzy looks like a devil, a lion about to devour its prey while Pedro looks like an innocent lamb, a lamb to the slaughter.
Pedro had blonde hair that was slicked back, the palest of blue eyes I've ever seen with thick brows that framed his face perfectly and he was four or five inches taller than Izzy. Though his chiseled face was still hidden with a bit of baby fat but it was obvious Pedro was going to be drop-dead gorgeous when he grows up.
Yes, the both of them together were aesthetically pleasing to the eyes but then this innocent soul was not meant to be with Izzy, she would taint him beyond redemption .
”Yes, they do ”I replied just to please Cecil but no matter what I was saying , Izzy definitely isn't smitten by this boy.
Suddenly Izzy asks an outrageous question ,
”Is he my new plaything? ”
There was a shocked and awkward silence afterwards while the smile on Cecil's face remained stuck .
”Hahaha ” I laughed nervously just to ease this awkward moment ”I'm sure she means playmate, Izzy here has a weird sense of humour ” I tried my best to remedy this situation while secretly sending warning gazes at Izzy.
I can't tell if she believes me but Cecil laughs along with me and to be sincere, it helped ease the tension.
”It must be a slip of tongue then ” Cecil laughs and thankfully Izzy didn't say anything to aggravate the barely savaged situation.
”I'm Izzy ” Isabelle introduces herself to Cecil but I couldn't help but groan inwardly.
The message was loud and clear making me wonder if Cecil gets its too. Izzy is clearly drawing the line here, her son only is permitted to call her 'Isabelle ”
”Nice to meet you Izzy, I'm Cecil ” She waves and smiles back at Izzy and yes, she did get the message.
”Nice to you meet too ” Izzy acknowledges with less enthusiasm as Cecil had displayed. She then turned and grabbed Pedro's hand saying ” Let's go to my room ”
