Promise Or A Mistake

Leo Pattinson hates changes. He despise them. Being a total control freak that he is, he tends to have a life where everything is perfectly organised just like the clothes in his closet that are organised according to their colour or the flies that are lined perfectly in his work table drawer or his books are are lined up according to their alphabets. Yes, that is how well organised he is .

What other thing he hates is surprises and Isla is one of them.

No ,he don't exactly hates her but he hates how he don't know what is going in the little head of that girl.

In his 27 year of life, he had experienced a lot when it comes to girls as well as boys. He can understand them by their body language or the way they speak but he is frustrated that he can't figure out Isla .

The said girl is full of surprises, have I told you he hates surprises?

When he thought that she wound be happy with this marriage and would want nothing but to spend his money, the girl surprised him by telling him that she got a job.

Leo don't even know what job she has because the girl has dropped out of her college.

Leo was curious or you could say that he was worried about her because one thing was clear that she is damn innocent for this world.

He dialled his office telephone and the person on the other side picked it up immediately.

" Get me the information of where Isla Pattinson us working. I want the details till tomorrow morning." He said and ended the call, not even waiting towhat his secretary has to say .

It has been two weeks since Isla had started working and Leo had barely seen him. The said girl would go even before he notices her . She even cooks breakfast for him and for that Leo is thankful.

He had promised Jennifer to give her daughter a better life and he doubts that now.

On the other hand, he hasn't heard anything from Sophia which was indeed nerve wrecking.

The said girl has now completely disappeared but as far as Leo knew her, she is the one who keeps her words and Leo don't want her to do something stupid.

-------------------------------------

It is early morning and the cafe is filled with college students who need a refreshments and that is caffeine. But no one can resist when the cafe counter is filled with delicious pastries.

The entire cafe is smelling with the fragrance of baked goodies that Isla loves so much .

The constant tingling sounds on the cafe door is also Isla's favourite. She always finds happiness when a new customer enters the cafe.

" Miss," a guy who was around 20 years old called to Isla, who was busy placing blueberry muffins in the display counter. She stood straight from the floor as she wiped her hands on the apron as she gave the boy a polite smile making the boy blush even more.

" How can I help you sir." She said politely and her workmates who were already aware of what will happen next, just scoffed in the background. The boy is being to obvious with those blushing cheeks.

" I..." The boy wavered, not knowing how say complete a simple sentence. " I have been coming here for weeks now, " he said and Isla just nodded , her grey eyes looking at the guy with sincerity. " I like you." He said, " will you mind to give your number?" He asked.

The workmates just rolled their eyes, it wasn't new for them. Isla being the youngest would often gain unnecessary attention from horny college going boys.

Isla was however, taken aback. No matter how many times she had faced the same problem, she always feels uncomfortable dealing with them.

" Sorry, I am already taken." She replied her usual answer but this time she wasn't lying though, willing or not , she is taken and is someone else wife.

The boy eyes widened after listening to her answer. He opened his mouth multiple times but no words came out of his mouth. He was clearly embarrassed. Well, who wouldn't be when you gather up the courage and ask a girl out in front of the entirely packed cafe, only to be rejected.

" Oh... I am sorry. I didn't thought about the possibility of that. " He said , hurriedly, blabbering his words as he pulled the hood of his hoodie over his head as if shielding himself from the gazes of pity although no one was really paying any attention to him.

Isla bite her lips at the situation, feeling bad for the boy who was clearly too shy to even ask but yet he did.

" And here goes another heart crushing down the lane." Ami said, who snickered as she looked at Isla. " Seriously get yourself a boyfriend. When I was 20, I already had atleast 5 boyfriends." She commented and Isla wanted to scoff at her now. Only if she knew.

Shaking her head at her workmate, she scrunched down and once again began placing the muffins.

You must think that why isn't she letting her workmates know that indeed, she is a married woman now? Well, she was never kind of in friendly term with them to begin with, no they weren't enemies either but they weren't that close to eachother for Isla to let them in her private life, hell she don't even have their phone number.

And so she just did what she always did, ignored them.

--------------------------------

"We should invite the kids for dinner, don't you think?" George said as he cut the juicy steak into small pieces, before placing the piece into his mouth, devouring the taste. " It has been long time since we last saw them and Isla should also feel welcomed in the family." He added as he chewed slowly on his food.

As for Alice, she was munching on her salad. Don't mind her, she is on a diet . Blame her dresses which are suddenly too tight for a body.

" Yeah." Was the only response George got from his wife which made him scowl.

" Is something on your mind?" He asked , keeping the fork and knife on the table as his attention was completely on his wife, who was eating as if nothing happened. " Alice?" He called again, this time his voice was stern leaving no room for discussion.

She finally looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, not at all dazed by the stern voice of her husband.

" What do you want me to say? Haven't you already planned everything?" She asked, her voice was filled with anger that she has been suppressing for months now.

" What do you mean?" George asked, as he leaned back and crossed his arms around his chest.

She scoffed once again as she took a sip of the red wine before answering her husband's question.

" Isn't it your hobby to decide whatever happens in this household?" She asked, venom dripping in her voice, eyes glaring. " Leo haven't came to visit us for ages because of you. " She raised a accusing finger at her husband. " He would always visit us atleast once a week. You drive him away from both of us. Honestly, wouldn't it been enough for Isla if we had just provided help to her financial? But no! You have to be a f**king saint and go on sacrificing the life of your own son." She said , more like shouted. The maids around were eyeing them as the drama unfolds.

" I am full." She said as she pushed the bowl away and in a swift movement stood fr her chair as she storm away leaving her husband away .

George hates to agree that indeed she is right. Isla as well as Leo shouldn't have been in this situation if he had thought properly before taking a really stupid decision.

But now past can't be changed because two souls are joined together by signing some papers.

No one knows what future holds for them.

But as he has promised earlier, he won't meddle in between their lives now. Let them do mistake, let them sought it out , let them argue , let them make up. Who knows if they end up loving eachother so much that it would be hard to breathe without eachother.
