BLACK ROSE

ISABELLA'S SMILE

The next day, Isabella dressed gracefully as usual the only difference is that her slightly curled hair was stretched and now it looked longer and straight, she drove to the department of Music, Rose and Greg's department, Rose and Greg left class in the evening after tutorials, their classes in the end of their second year, became hectic and long, so Rose has to quit working at the restaurant so she would have more time for lectures. Rose and Greg came out of their lecture room busy discussing, then they sighted Isabella

"She is here for you Rose, go to her" Greg said and Rose left with a smile, she rushed down to Isabella.

Meanwhile when Rose left some other girls that crushed Greg and George unique looks rushed over to Greg when they saw that he was alone they went to him and ogled and giggled, and blushed, Greg got fed up of them he didn't smile to them this time around, he frowned at them in confusion, he didn't want to hurt them by brushing past them.

On the other side, Isabella saw what was going on and frowned

"Rose looks like Greg is in need of your help"

"Uhn?" Rose looked back and saw the horde of young girls overing round Greg, she sighed

"I don't know what to do anymore, those girls just never listen, one wants him to be his model, one wants him to be his tutor and partner for a presentation or so, but between the both of us, they just want him to ask them out, he used to enjoy it, but i think he is tired now, I mean look at his expression" Rose laughed

"I know Williams go through the same, but his expression looks somewhat cute" Isabella said still sounding calm, she walked past Rose while fixing her hair, then she stopped when she heard Rose questions

"You came to see him right?"

"I .. I, " sigh, "yes, it's about something important, its not what you think"

"Okay if you say so, tell him I already left." Rose said and hopped on her black Scooter and left, She used half of her savings a year ago and half of the year now to buy a Scooter, Greg and George did the same, although the money used was sent to them by their relatives.

Greg shouted at them, "let me go" he sounded frustrated, but his voice sounded like music to the stubborn girls who kept on talking and taking pictures of his face, they wanted him to be their partner for a drama presentation, but he already picked one of his male colleagues, still these girls would not listen.

"Oh he should just be my model, please be my partner for the presentation", "he should just be my boyfriend" another one says, "I love your voice Gregor, please sing for me", this one said she probably heard him and Rose with George singing in the studio during their leisure time. Isabella walked up to them and and found her way to the middle, she grabbed Greg's hands and faced the girls, she was taller than most of them, her looks made the girls feel intimidated, silence reigned when she faced them

"Sorry girls, he is already taken" all the girls gasped including the shocked Greg, his eyes were widened and he looked at Isabella, she turned to face him and smiled cutely, her smile made his already widened eyes wider, he was shocked, "let's go sweetheart" Isabella said and dragged him away from the girls, the girls felt like crying, "he is taken" sniffs, they went away sadly

Isabella dragged Greg to her car, he just followed her like a dummy, then she pushed him to rest at the back of her car,

"Did... did you just smile?" He asked still confused, Isabella wanted to laugh, but she was quick to control it

"Yes, I came to discuss nothing but business" she went straight to the point

"What, you can smile? Sorry what business Miss, oh no, I am taken I should say Sweetheart now, I fear one of those troublesome girls will hear me calling you miss." He looked around still afraid of the girls

"What? Are you afraid of those girls?"

"Yes of course, they are so fragile I fear I will hurt them if I try to push them away, and not only that, how can fragile girls also be very stubborn?" He questioned Isabella with a frown, Isabella could no longer hide her laughter, she bursted into a Soft but long laughter, the type she never thought she could Show Infront of him, the last time she laughed that way was when she was a child, she never laughed that way to Tracy or her friends. Greg stood behind the car amused at the laughing Isabella, he felt warm seeing the cold Isabella Smile and laughter. Isabella face was slightly red, she laughed to the extreme and stopped when she noticed what just happened, she cleared her throat and sniffed,

"Erm, you are a funny type" she went back to being serious

"I love it when you smile and laugh, I love your laughter Isabella" Greg smiled, Isabella felt a ting of emotion in her heart, she felt somewhat alive after laughing

"Hmmm, I ." She couldn't find the right words

"You should laugh more often, it makes you look more beautiful and graceful, and human"

'uhn he thinks I am graceful?' she thought and blushed, she tried not to blush but it kept on coming, her cheeks were slightly pink, Greg felt the urge to touch her cheeks, but he fought the urge away.

"Thanks, but I came here not to be complimented by you, but for business" She retorted trying to change the topic

"What business?" Greg rested on the car and folded his arms

"Yesterday,.. I want you to forget everything I said" she looked at him with a straight face but internally she was nervous

"Even when trying to be cold you look cute.." he said and Isabella brows were raised in shock

"Well, sweetheart, I can't just forget it, why don't you do something that will make me forget it?" He bent to her level and looked into her surprised eyes

"Hmm?"

"How, argh, what do you want me to do? To make you forget it?"

"I don't know, you tell me, do something I like" he said lazily and rested his back on the car

"Why are you making this hard for me Greg" he didn't respond and just closed his eyes, Isabella sighed

"Okay, how about I pay you" Greg opened his eyes and looked at her

"That is the last thing I will ever accept, in fact it's not on my list, I am not as rich as you are, but I am not poor either and I am satisfied. If you don't have any more thing to say I might as well take my leave, because I have many things to do"

Greg was obviously angry, he was about to leave when she stopped him

"Wait, my apologies, I chose the wrong word" she felt bad

"Let's talk about yesterday, I am curious to know why you think that way?"

"I want you to forget it, that is why I am here"

"Okay continue what you planned to do to make me forget "

"Okay, how about, I take you on a date"

"What type of date?" Greg asked a little curious

"Uhn? Date has types?" She was confused

"Of course, elite date, nature date, simple date, online date, party date, name it" he said casually

"You name them right "

"I'll tell you during our date" he winked at her, Isabella felt butterflies in her belly

"It's a business date. And I will give you the honour of picking the date you want"

"Thank you sweet heart, I pick the nature date, I love nature. It will be like a picnic okay? Just incase you don't know" he winked at her and walked to his black bike, he wore his helmet and zoomed off. Isabella stood at that same spot he left her like a statue, she was surprised and tapped her cheeks from curving into a smile. "Why do I care if he remembers or not? Since when does Isabella Hart care about what others thinks of her? Why do I feel happy when I am with him? Did he cast a spell on me?" She asked herself several questions and smiled.
