When It Comes From God It's Different [ Love, Faith & Overcoming ]

Chapter 09

Good morning princess, Luiza said, leaning on the table.

Isabella: Good morning, aunty, I said, sitting.

I sat down at the table. My mother had not gone down for breakfast yet, it seems that she wasn't going to work early, as usual, today, and my father had just left. I had breakfast with the company of Aunt Luh and then went to school.

Isabela: Eduardo is leaving today. I had forgotten," she said, dissatisfied and 

dismayed.

Rafaela: let's say goodbye to him today at the airport at 5:30 pm. Shall we 

girls?

Paula: let's go

Isabella: okay, so you pick me up?

Rafaela: Okay. Last night we met, he had sent me a message and said that he wanted to see me and of course, I went; unfortunately, I couldn't stay too long, but I could enjoy it a little, then when I went back home, I called him, and we kept talking until dawn 

Paula: that so sweet girlfriend. So that's why someone dying face two days ago has come back to life.  She said, and we laughed a lot at her comment.

Rafaela: girls, seriously, he is so cute, loving, and understanding. I'm not lucky 

though, I get a boy like him, and he lives on the other side of the country, aff

-Good morning students, shall we start the class?  The teacher said as he 

entered the room.

[…]

At the end of class, I came back home listening to music at the maximum and singing like crazy, when I arrived, I went straight to lunch, my parents were together at the table, we talked, but they only talk about work. Thus, I isolated myself from the conversation; when I finished, I went up to my bedroom, showered and lay on the bed.

Message On:

Nicolas: what's up?

Isabella: nothing much!

Nicolas: Do you have any plans tonight?

Isabella: as far as I know, I don't; why?

Nicolas: Do you want to go out with me?

Isabella: Yes, yes 

Nicolas: at 19:30 then, okay?

Isabella: Okay. You won't kidnap me, will you?

Nicolas: haha, no, don't worry

Isabella: Where are we going?

Nicolas: A place I usually go to, you will like it, relax.

Isabella: Um, I hope so. You've raised my curiosity. How is this place?

Nicolas: It's a secret snoopy place. I'm not going to tell you anything.

Isabella: Oh, you're mean 

Nicolas: If I tell you it won't be funny, it's a surprise.

Isabella: I love surprises.

Nicolas: even better. I have to take off now, see you at night, okay? Kisses.

Isabella: Okay, kisses.

There was I, all smiling, thinking about a thousand and one things and ways of what this date would be like. After a few minutes, I ended up sleeping, which was not on my plans. , I got startled by the time. When I woke up, I remembered that I was going to meet up the girls at the airport; I looked at the clock and it was already 4:45 pm; I went straight to the bathroom, I took a quick shower, I wore high-waist jeans, a printed tank top, fixed a bun in my hair, I put on eyeliner, put on a black sneaker, grabbed my bag, and ran to the door, the girls were leaning against the car waiting for me.

Rafaela: it was about time, Isabella! She said as she saw me arriving.

Isabella: Calm down darling, I'm here now, don't freak out, please, and we got 

in the car.

We were talking and waiting for Eduardo's flight, and when it arrived, we said 

goodbye to him. He and Rafa had a long goodbye kiss, and soon after, he took 

off.

Paula: are you going to eat, girls 

Isabella: I'm ravenous.

Rafaela: Will you come with us, Marcelo?

Marcelo: No, girls, it won't work; I have to leave.

Isabella: oh, so it's okay, we'll catch up later 

We left the airport and went for a snack, settled down, and placed orders

Isabella: Guys, you don't know, breaking news. Nicolas asked me out tonight, I 

said cheerfully 

Paula: um, you accepted, right?

Isabella: Sure.

Paula: sister, I think he's into you.

Isabella: is he?

Rafaela: since he asked you out, he must be really into you

Isabella: what if he really likes me? What would I do, girls?

Rafaela: Well, what would you do, girl? That's up to you. Enjoy it, for he is 

charming and seems to be worth it

Paula: sister, I guess if you like him back, you have to take the opportunity to 

get to know him better

Rafaela: agreed, let everything happen naturally.

Isabella: What would I be without you two, huh? I said, hugging them.

I got home at 6:00 pm, went up to the bedroom and straight to my closet and picked out some clothes to wear; I picked up a yellow dress, a delicate necklace, and not too high heels, left everything separated on the bed, and trotted with a towel to the bathroom. I decided to let my hair loose, wore makeup with a light shade, and chose a winy lipstick, and there I was, ready for my first date with Nicolas.

Message On:

Isabella: (Future) Dear Doctor Nicolas, I am ready for our first date 

Nicolas: Haha, I'm on my way then.

Five minutes later, I heard the noise of a car honking; I look out the window, and yes, it was him; I opened the door shyly, and he came towards me, he managed to look even prettier.

Nicolas: Good evening girl, did you see Isa around?  He asked, trying to be 

serious and pretending that he didn't recognize me.

Isabella: Nicolas! I smiled

Nicolas: Oh, here you are, my bad, I almost didn't recognize you with all this 

wonderfulness. I haven't seen you beautifully this way yet; he said smiling, 

extending his hand and kissing on my cheek; Isabella, you're amazing

Isabela: Thank you, you look very nice too

Nicolas: I was trying to keep up with my partner, but I would say that at most, I was able to get being tidy, he said, making me smile, and then he opened the car door for me. You are different. Did you change your hairstyle? He asked in the car.

Isabella: I dyed it; does it look good?

Nicolas: Oh, it's terrific, it suits you even more.

Isabella: Thank you, I said with a smile on my face, getting a little bit cocky  

Nicolas: so, tell me, how was your day?

Isabella: oh, it was pretty average, but it was a good day. What about you?

Nicolas: putting college aside, it was great

After about 17 minutes of driving, we arrived

Nicolas: Okay, we're here, let me grab this guitar already, he said, parking the 

car and picking up the instrument that was in the back seat.

Isabella: Looky looky, you brought a guitar

Nicolas: yes, aren't you going to sing to me? He winked with a smile, Now close your eyes, no peeking, you heard me, young lady, he said, opening. The car door and grabbing my hand.

Isabella: oh, not even a peek?  I asked, smiling with my eyes closed.

Nicolas: None, he said, and I opened an eye quickly just for some fun. I'll cover your eyes now!  he said, putting his hands on my eyes.

Isabella: But what if I stumble?

Nicolas: No, you won't, I won't let you

Isabella: Okay then. But if I stumble and fall, it is on you, I said, smiling while 

walking with my eyes closed.

Nicolas: fully responsible 

We walked a little to the place because the car ended up being a little far 

Nicolas: we're set, he said, taking his hands off my eyes, and I was surprised; it was a green place full of trees, and on each tree, several light bulbs were hanging, and there was a river, you couldn't see much, but the sky, the moon light  was reflecting on the waters making everything look  even magical 

Isabella: How beautiful I gasped, super excited while he put a towel on the lawn under 

a huge tree

Nicolas: yes, he said, already sitting down. I love this place.

Isabella: well, so do I, said, sitting next to him. I Would like to take it home and 

put it in my backyard; I said, smiling

Nicolas: if you could take it, you would certainly see me there, right

Isabella: do you always come here?

Nicolas: always

Isabella: it's so calm and peaceful. I like that.

Nicolas: during the day, it is even more beautiful. God is wonderful, and thankfully in a world full of chaos, there is still a little piece of land that gives you peace.

Isabella: Yeah, thank God, I said looking at him while he was staring at the 

sky. We were silent looking at the starry sky; the moon was perfect

Nicolas: Did you like the surprise?  He said, breaking the silence.

Isabella: I Loved it

Nicolas: here, he handed me the guitar. Now choose a song

Isabella: I thought you were going to serenade me, I said impulsively, and we 

smiled. Can I choose any song?

Nicolas: yes, any song you like

Isabella: then, okay. I'll just say that I love sweet romance music, okay?

Nicolas: typical

I was a little thoughtful about the song I was going to sing; at first, I was super embarrassed, but I took my eyes off him and preferred to imagine that I was alone on the porch or in the bathroom; he just looked at me waiting. I decided to sing an international song, just a little bit of music that brings me a wave of peace. And calamity 

Nicolas: Wow, what a beautiful voice you have, Isa. You sing very well; he commented, gulping and totally surprised

Isabella: thanks, you, I'll give you the guitar now

He started singing a beautiful and totally new song for me, but what impressed me most was not the romantic lyrics; his voice, the way he sang, I admit I was fascinated, I don't know, but I think I even drooled. I was speechless, he sang with so much serenity, looking at me in the eye every once in a while, I didn't even know how to describe what I felt at that moment, but that melody enchanted me.

Isabella: How sweet, what a beautiful voice you have? I said with my mouth 

open, and he smiled a lot

Nicolas:  you are the sweet one. Thank you

Isabella: do you sing a lot? Have you sung in public?

Nicolas: at college events, and sometimes I sing at church, what about you?

Isabella: I never sang in public

Nicolas: you should do it one day.

We lay on the towel on the lawn and stared at the starry moonlit sky.

Isabella: the sky is magnificent, I said while looking up.

Nicolas: it is perfect. In fact, everything that God does is perfect.

We stayed there for a long time, talking about the sky. We asked questions that only God could answer.

Nicolas: what would you like to have for dinner with my lovely company 

Isabella Fercondine tonight?

Isabella: do you like sushi?

Nicolas: I do, a lot, good choice for a romantic date

Isabella: I loved this place so much that I would eat anything here, or do you 

prefer to go to a fancy restaurant?

Nicolas: Oh really? I would bother paying for a costly sushi boat for you in an expensive restaurant, he smiled, But if you prefer, we can stay here and postpone the expensive restaurant for another day

Isabella: I think the expensive restaurant can wait for another day

Nicolas: are you sure?

Isabella: certainly.

Nicolas: I'm going to order a delivery then, and we eat right here.

He ordered a sushi boat, and while the order was on Its way, we talked a little more; the date exceeded my expectations of perfection.
