Chapter 107: I Cheated on Him!!!
Without even waiting for Alex to respond, James just bumped past him and walked towards Isabella. Meanwhile, Isabella stood there dumbfounded. Not because she could not remember anything, but because two men were actually dragging for her. And no matter how she tried to say it in a positive way, James was still hotter, finer, and sexier than Alex could ever be. It felt like she always drooled anytime she met James. Even though she did not see James more than four times since she could remember anything, she still always thought about it and always fantasized about him. It seemed like a normal routine for her, something she usually did, which confused her even more.
As she stood there, James slowly walked towards her and placed his hands on her cheek gently. As she shut her eyes, trying to feel the intensity that his warm palm gave to her cheek, she instantly smiled before opening her eyes. Even James could feel it that she was still the Isabella that he had always known. Because of the way he touched her and the way she reacted to it, even anyone close to them who was giving them close attention would clearly see the difference.
“How are you doing?” he muttered to her, and it felt like her heart began to flutter. It tickled deep within her, and she couldn't even control herself as she held her hands tightly in a grip, trying her best to control the emotions she was feeling just from him asking about her.
“I am fine.” She muttered, still trying her best to control herself.
“I missed you so much, and you know that everything you said that night was all a misunderstanding and you did not mean any of it, and I will forgive you for it. I just can't wait for your memories to come back so things can go back to the way it was.” James muttered to her, but none of the words even mattered to Isabella. All that mattered to her was her trying to understand how he could have such an effect on her. How could James's light touch on her make her so vibrant? Even Alex hugging her compassionately and how he had always acted with her, it never made her feel the way she was feeling at the moment.
She just stood there, enjoying the warmth of James's hand. And instantly, he removed his hand, and she looked at him with a puppy's face.
“Your hand is so warm.” She said, unable to control herself, as James smiled.
“You always loved the way it felt on your cheek. I guess you have never changed.” He said to her and then placed it back again as Alex rushed towards them and held onto Isabella, trying to pull her away, but Isabella did not even budge.
“What is going on exactly? Alex, why are you always pushing him away? Why don't you let me talk to him for once? What if he's not the kind of bad person you are labeling him to be? I know for sure that he's not a bad person, and you are just labeling him that way. Can you stop it? He is actually very nice.” Isabella said, unable to control herself as she spoke.
“I just want to talk to him, okay? I want to talk to him one on one. He has always been trying to talk to me, but you are not letting him.” Isabella said again, still unable to control herself just because of the little emotion she was feeling with James. She was unable to even pick which person she was supposed to be and who was the right person for her. Everything was just so conflicting and confusing in her mind as she stood there still dumbfounded. Alex was surprised.
“What did you just say? Right now you want to have a conversation with him? With James of all people? Do you know what he tried to do to you? If you knew what he tried to do to you, if you knew how he tried to molest you, then you would not act this way and try to say you want to be with him by all means. He literally is not the one for you. He can never be the one for you. Trust me, I am the one. You are just misunderstanding him because James is trying to act all soft and nice to you.” Alex yelled, but Isabella had gotten to the very edge ever since she had opened her eyes and recalled things that were going on.
“Can't you already stop telling me what to do? Stop telling me what I should do. I want to talk to him. At least give him the chance. If I had acted this way and not allowed you to talk to me, would you have gotten to explain to me that you are my fiancé? Would I have believed you?” Isabella insisted, and then Alex stepped back.
“But Isabella, let's go now. I am beginning to think that what James said is true. If it ever for once is true, I would never forgive you.” Alex said and stepped back.
But Isabella was too emotional as she just hissed and quickly excused herself from them, went straight to the girl's bathroom, and stood in front of the mirror, staring at herself.
“What is wrong with me? Why am I being so confused? Am I just being confused or being foolish? Because everything is pointing out that Alex is the one for me, but yet any single touch from James frustrates me to the very core.” She muttered to herself. She shut her eyes, trying to pray for her memories to come back again.
When it came to her gloomily, she remembered secret intercourses between her and James. As she opened her eyes, it came to her even more clearly. She and James kissing each other. He held onto her closely. Even standing there in front of the mirror, she could still feel it urging in her body as she instantly stepped back. She covered her mouth as a tear dripped down her eyes.
“I cheated. I cheated on him. Alex is not a bad person. I am the bad one.” Lily knew what she was saying. She continued to murmur to herself, unable to believe everything.
