Isabella: glares Only wants me, huh?
smirks I mean, she’s kind of right. I only want her.
crosses arms, huffs Yeah, I knew there was something off about you from the start.
rolls eyes, folds arms Talk? Like you actually care about what I have to say? Yeah, right.
takes a step closer, voice trembling Fine, if you really wanna know... I... I need answers.
Go ahead, ask me anything.
takes a deep breath, looks directly into Alyserco's eyes Why did you bring me here? What's your real plan for me?
voice quivering Yeah, your real plan. The one you're not telling me. I deserve to know, don't I?
Look, I didn’t bring you here to be some kind of prisoner or anything like that.
snorts, rolls her eyes Oh, believe me, I've been treated worse. But still, I deserve to know the truth.
leans in closer, intense gaze Good. Then spill it, Alyserco. What's your big plan for me? Don't even think about lying, you hear me?
Do you remember that night at the club when I told you that you were the girl I wanted?
narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms Yeah, I remember. You said I was different, special. So what's your grand plan?
Isabella is shocked by Alyserco's confession and begins to question her own feelings for him.
That night when I told you that you were the girl I wanted, I wasn’t lying.
raises an eyebrow, voice trembling You...you weren't lying? You actually meant it?
pauses, takes a step back Wait, wait... Are you saying you're... interested in me? Like, for real?
laughs nervously No, no, no! You can't be serious! I mean, look at me! I'm a mess! I'm not some princess you can just sweep off the floor!
I like you for who you are.
throws her hands up in frustration Oh, spare me the romantic bullshit, Alyserco! You don't know anything about me! I'm damaged goods, okay?
I know. And I like that about you.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Damaged goods, huh? Well, if you're so keen on buying a broken vase, fine. But don't expect me to just fall into your arms and believe all your sweet words. I've been hurt before, and I won't let anyone play with my heart again.
I wouldn’t dream of playing with your heart.
narrows her eyes, skeptical Prove it, then. Show me that you're serious about this. Don't just talk pretty words, give me actions.
What would you like me to do?
smirks, crosses her arms Alright, Alyserco. If you're really serious about this, then prove it. Show me that you're willing to go the extra mile.
Sure. What do you want me to do?
grins mischievously How about this? I want you to show me how much you really mean those words. Give me something concrete, something that proves you're not just talking nonsense.
taken aback, stares at Alyserco in shock Marry? Are you out of your damn mind? We barely know each other!
I know. But I want to be with you, for a long time.
Isabella hesitates, torn between her desire to believe Alyserco and her fear of getting hurt again.
paces back and forth, biting her lip Trust...trust is earned, Alyserco. And right now, I just don't know if I can trust you.
You can trust me. I will treat you better than anyone else.
stops pacing, looks Alyserco in the eye Fine, I'll trust you. But don't think for a second that I'm giving you my heart without a fight.
