Chapter 567 - Five Hundred And Sixty-Seven: We Are Always Together (1/2)

The third point of view:

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief when she finally evaded Anabelle. Well, to be honest, Anabelle was the one who sent her away - which was a big relief. Now, she could have the one-on-one conversation she wanted with Pedro.

Both couples walked side by side without saying a word, just enjoying the silence between them. It was evening and the perfect atmosphere for a date. However, in Isabella's mind, she wanted to do many things with him like having sex - which was impossible.

She had promised Niklaus not to make sex the foundation of their relationship, so now she had to go the old school way. Yeah, good luck with that.

”A-hem!” Isabella intentionally cleared her throat which drew Pedro's attention.

Pedro turned to her asking, ”Is anything the matter? Do you feel any discomfort?” he asked with concern written all over his face.

”Yes,” Isabella said.

”What is it? Where do you get hurt?” His worry grew.

”Here...” she took his hand and intertwined it with hers, ”My hand misses your warmth. Don't you know, women are more prone to feel cold than men. According to research, women have a much more sensitive vascular response to the cold, which means they shut down their blood flow sooner, tighter, and for longer than men. The reason for this is that women are just more sensitive to that peripheral cold stimulus. Hormone oestrogen also contributes to making the blood vessels more sensitive to cold... ” Isabella trailed off when she recognized Pedro was giving her a strange look.

Niklaus had told her to flirt with her partner, that it kept the spark in the relationship alive, but it seems she might have overdone it. Wonderful - note the sarcasm.

”Well....” Isabella tried to do damage control, ”What I'm trying to say is that you should always hold my hand,” she said, looking away as a blush crept up her face.

Shit, she hated this slow-burn romance. It was so much better and fun, throwing him on the bed and riding his d*ck. God, this was an epic failure.

However, she was startled when Pedro burst into laughter.

Isabella facepalmed mentally, as expected Pedro found it funny - it was supposed to be romantic. What had she been expecting? That Pedro would be touched? Oh please. Dirty talks were much better.

”God, you're so funny,” Pedro laughed harder.

”That's enough,” Isabella grew irritated.

Pedro's gaze narrowed at her, ”Are you angry,”

”No,” Yes, she was.

Pedro halted his movement, standing in her way.

”What?” Isabella wondered what he was up to.

However, Pedro simply palmed her cheeks saying, ”You look cute when you talk nerd,”

She frowned, ”I'm not a nerd!”

Pedro raised a dark brow, amused, ”I never said you were one,”

”Yes,” Isabella stood her ground, ”In slang terms, a nerd is an unattractive, socially awkward, annoying, undesirable, or boring person; a dork. Which of that explains me?” she challenged him.

”A nerd is also a person who is intellectual but generally introverted,” Pedro was tempted to argue with her but he knew better than to react to Isabella's incitement.
