Tuesday,
The sky was unusually gloomy when a young nineteen year old girl with hazel colored eyes, dark brown hair and pale white skin in a blue jumpsuit walked out of her lecture room.
Tuesday was known to be a super busy day in the university of Melbourne especially for psychology students who had a lot of practical work on their plate. It was also the last semester of the academic year, which meant more projects and assignments for the new and old students.
Isabelle was as beautiful as her name was, as she walked through campus to her dorm, she didn't miss the admiration in the men's eyes as they walked past her.
She was used to it and even loved the attention she was getting from men.
Who wouldn't?
At 19, she was already on her way to achieve her goals of becoming a clinical psychologist and her dream of becoming a best selling writer.
Her first book, though not published, was currently querying as she sought to find an agent for it as soon as possible.
She arrived at her dorm and entered without even knocking. " You'll never change, Ella. " Her roommate's Gift Ellen sighed, as she lay sprawled on her bed in her underwear.
" You'll never change either. " Isabelle got to her bed, dropped her backpack and removed her nerdy glasses which she dropped on the study table.
" Any plans for tonight? " Gift said, watching the latter undress tiredly.
" Um. " Just then she remembered and almost immediately, a big smile boomed on her face. " Yeah... "
" Tell me. " Her ever curious and inquisitive roomie couldn't wait to hear the full gist.
" It's April 3. Zach and I's two years dating anniversary. "
" Oh wow, that sounds really romantic. Any plans? "
" Yup. We'll be meeting at seven for a dinner date. "
" Oh wow, that's excellent. " Gift pulled her alarm clock towards her. " It's currently 5pm. Meaning you've got about two hours to prepare. "
" Yeah. "
" I honestly can't wait to get you ready. "
" Thanks, Gift. " Isabelle couldn't be more grateful to have her in her life. Though from different races, they were as close as sisters.
The word sister somehow felt sour on her tongue as she was reminded of her twin, Emily. Who couldn't care less about her.
Sometimes she wondered how they could be identical twins, yet so different. Cos, how's that even possible? It's always said that Blood is thicker than water, but Isabelle doubted that saying, when it came to her sister.
....
7pm.
Isabelle entered the designated restaurant and immediately, all eyes turned on her. She knew she was beautiful, but after being dolled up by Gift. Her own reflection in the mirror stunned her as she looked exactly like a disney princess.
" I wonder how Zach will react when he sees me. " The mere thought of that brought a smile to her face as she took a seat and waited.
The plan was for him to meet her there at seven and now? It's seven fifteen and she couldn't help worrying.
" Hey, this is Zach. Drop a message. " Came his voicemail from the other end, whenever she called.
Where is he?
" Ma'am. What's your order? " She smiled at the young waitress who was about her age. " Get me a glass of mocha. "
" Alright. It'll be ready soon. "
" Thanks. " she smiled sincerely, watching the latter disappear from her sight.
" Zachary Rogers, where are you! " she murmured for the upteenth time, dialing his number once again.
" Ma'am. Your order. " she was interrupted by the young waitress.
" Thanks. " The girl lingered, staring at Isabelle. " Do you wanna say something? "
" Yeah. " The girl became nervous all of a sudden, scratching her hair awkwardly. " Tell me. "
" You are beautiful, Miss. Your boyfriend is truly a lucky guy. " Isabelle smiled brightly at that and for a moment, she forgot about her pain. " He sure is. "
" Hm. All the best, Miss. " The girl said finally leaving. " Wait, I didn't get your name. "
" Mia Lynn. "
" It's a beautiful name. "
" It reminds me of a book I read recently. The Night road. "
" Oh, you've read the book too? It's definitely one of my favorites of all time. "
" Me too. "
" I'll be leaving now, Miss. Do call me if you need anything. "
" Sure thing. "
Isabelle sipped her mocha, whilst reading a book on kindle to distract herself.
At 8pm, she decided that there was no point in waiting and simply got up, dropped her bill and a tip for the young waitress and walked out.
She took a cab from the restaurant and directed the driver to Zach's house.
Zach lived in a one bedroom apartment in parksville. Though Isabelle had only been there once, she recognized it at first glance.
She took the elevator to his floor and knocked several times when she got to his room. Receiving no response, she slowly made her way in.
From the entrance, the apartment looked messy as damp clothes lit around and the sitting room reeked of intimacy. With a beating heart and gentle footsteps, she walked towards the bedroom. On getting there, the door was ajar and the scene that greeted her was of one she wasn't expecting.
Zach was in her intimate position with a woman as they made love.
She was still in doubt about who the woman was when she heard her voice. " Love me, Zach. "
Zach increased his pace on hearing her words, " Yes, Babe. "
" Say you love me and not my sister. "
" I love you, Emily. Your sister is simply a pretty face filled with so much gullibility. " The intensity of his words struck a knife into Isabelle's heart.
" Yes, you are right. " Emily moaned. " Go faster. " Isabelle watched the bed creak as the duo continued their intimate sessions.
Not bothering to disturb them, Isabelle turned around, but due to how shaky her hands and legs were, her purse fell attracting the attention of the duo.
" Isabelle? " They said at the same time, turning to the door.
Isabelle turned around and forced a smile, trying her best not to cry. " Thanks a lot for this anniversary gift, Zach. " Saying her piece, she walked briskly out of the room.
" Isabelle, wait. "
" Don't go yet, Zach. We aren't done yet. "
" Let me go. "
" No you can't, you promised me five rounds, didn't you? And we are currently on the second. " Isabelle felt disgusted by their conversation and increased her pace.
