Grudge bearing

"Everything goes around, comes around and now it's my turn to make him pay for his mistakes. I will make sure to destroy his career, " Isabella said.

Lisa was outraged by that because she wasn't attentive to anything that went on with him in earlier years. Subsequently, giving it her thinking, she veered around to her side but before that, there was no whiff of her. She asked forgiveness from her mother to take off to the washroom. With that, she tried to go after her in case she got to know about the whole appearance in his life, which made her seek vengeance on him. She came out of the restaurant in the questioning of her but before that, she left from there.

"What the heck she was babbling about?" she grumbled to herself and went inside to keep on what she was doing.

"What happened? You seem to be under some kind of worry?" her mother asked worriedly.

"No, it's nothing," she assured her mother and go on with eating. Still, her mind was feeling about what Isabella gossiped about before.

Her mother paid the bill and went towards the opening. They reached the home but her mother was troubled for her as she didn't utter a word in the whole drive. They got inside the home but her before she could go to her room, her mother held her wrist and asked, "What is bothering you?" She couldn't tell her about Louis because never in the past years her mother liked talking about him that's why she hides the actuality and said, "I'm tired mom, want to get a good sleep."

"Okay, but if something is displeasing you, talk to me about that," her mother said. She hummed in response and went upstairs to her room. She sighed and laid down on the bed to make herself feel loosened up after a tiring day. As she was so tired so, she fell asleep immediately. Her mother peeking through the door of her room to make sure she was not stressed. She felt relieved when she found her sleeping.

The next sunrise, she woke up and crossed her arms slight. She checked her phone and realised that it was her off that day because it was Sunday. She smiled and thought of going back to sleep for some more hours but she received a text from Louis.

"Wanna hang out today?" he texted.

Lisa was in confusion about whether to go or not.

"Okay," she answered back to his message and went back to take a nap.

After two hours, she was disturbed in her sleep by her mother, who was calling her name from downstairs. She woke up with a babyface because she never liked to get disturbed in her sleep. She sought and searched for the phone. Her eyes widened at the time. It was already noon and she had to go out with Louis. She had only half to an hour to get ready. She made everything so sudden and went downstairs. Wanting to hear what her mother was letting out. She left from there and said, "Going out with a friend, see you later. Love you." Her mother blushed at her words. She waited for him to pick her up from her house. After staying for 15 minutes, he showed up in her sight. She got in his car and went away from there.

Thereupon some time, they reached a diner, both of them got out of the car and took steps towards the entrance of the same. She made herself comfortable on a chair while lasting for him to come up with coffee. Soon he came up with two cups of coffee in both hands. He also made himself comfortable there.

"How are you?" she asked him while keeping her face in her hands and stared at him with a relaxing face.

"Good after I got to see you," he said and flickered in her direction considerable times. She chuckled at his cuteness. Still, he didn't let go of a chance to make her laugh.

"I see," she said and which made both of them laugh.

Lisa rose with the impression of Isabella talking about him the last day. So, she thought of interrogating him about the same.

"So, what is your connection with Isabella?" she asked casually, not wanting him to feel hurt the feelings of by her, expecting that.

With a second of thought, he came up with an answer to her question.

"We are working for a collaboration that's all," he said to satisfy her.

"No, I mean before collaboration, did you meet her somewhere?" she questioned him furthermore.

"Yeah, we used to meet at some party before but why are asking so much about her?" he tried to answer to make her feel satisfied.

"Just like that," she said with a smile.

"Okay, so what you did in over years?" she asked him to avoid the disturbing moment between them.

"Nothing just worked hard to become an artist after you left," he whimpered to her. She felt guilty for leaving him alone in the past. She passed a wicked smile to him and begged about him more, she desired to give attention to him without any disturbance.

She was listening to his talks with patience and smiled while watching him, changing his expressions. She adored every moment with him in the past and then too.

He was wrapped up with his story and whirled to meet his eyes with hers. And he noticed her, so lost in admiring him. To get back her compassion, he waved in front of her. She fluttered and forgo eye contact with him. It made him smile a little. She felt ashamed in front of him. He knew that she was feeling uneasy so, he came up with a question for her.

"How about you?" he asked, wanting her attention back to him.

"Ahh I just got engaged with my career in these years, nothing special happened," she said and smiled a little.

They talked about random things for a while. Lisa was craving ice cream so, she asked him to eat ice cream with her. He agreed and went towards the street to grab ice cream from a shop. After having ice cream, she checked the time and thought of going back home.

"I think I should go back to the house as it is getting late," she said while turning her gaze towards him.

"Okay," he agreed and made their way to the car. The whole driving was silent, soon she reached her home and before getting out of the car he whispered her name. She hummed in response while turning her gaze towards him. He forwarded his hand in her direction, he was holding something in his hand.

She raised her eyebrows and asked him,

"What is this?"

Without replying to her, he asked her to hold that. She took that from his hand and tried to see that but he stopped her, and said, " See it after you get off the car." She made a doubtful face. After getting out of the car, she bid bye to him. Soon he left from there.

She peeped at what he just gave her. After taking a look at that, she glanced in the direction he left, tears formed in her eyes. She memorized the day when she gave him that stone after she realised her affections for him. A weak smile crept on her lips with tears in her eyes.

"You are always that beautiful you for me," she sobbed to herself. And caressed those words with affectation.

"My Beautiful You"

"I hope that in every birth, I get you as a best friend for life," she muttered and took small steps towards the entrance of her home while touching those words.
