(A 3AM Update) A True Gentleman, Chapter 21 - A jealous husband?
A/N: Chapter 21 is up! Isaac confronts Diana, like a jealous husband! By the way, Henry, Diana's cousin face claim is 'Henry Cavill', and Sam McLean's face claim is Sam Heughan.
Oh, before I forget, if you don't like the story, please do move on to others, the internet has lots of them. Please don't hurt writers, ya? Good! so without further ado...
TWENTY-ONE
A jealous husband
"Diana!" her cousin, Henry approaches her. "That was a stellar performance!" he compliments.
Every time Henry and she are seen together, people often mistake them for siblings. The blue cold eyes, thick eyebrows, strong jawline, and dark hair were the signature that belonged to their family.
"Thank you, Henry!" was her grateful reply. "But I know why you are here for, go and lead the way!" she says, as he leads her to where her father sat. She knew what Henry approached her for. It was time for her father's interrogation and lengthy sermon.
Francis watched Henry, followed by Diana, approaching him where he sat.
"Relax Uncle..." Henry says, as he taps his uncle's shoulder, telling him to listen instead of scolding Diana. He then walks away to give the two space.
He took a deep breath before turning to his daughter. " Why don't you take a seat..." he offers, patting the empty space beside him, which she took.
"First of all, why are you singing at a wedding?" he tried to sound calm instead of being confrontational.
" I was trying to earn money to buy a 3D Printer," was her direct answer.
" Why?"
"I'm trying to build a small workshop studio, and I need a 3d printer..."
"Oh..." Francis was taken aback, he didn't expect his daughter to have such plans. "But what happened to the money you got from the sale of your old penthouse with Jesse?"
"That, I'm keeping it to the side. I plan to use it to buy real estate and most probably have the place rented for passive income. If not, I'll turn it into the workshop studio. I planned to save money, but I think I'd earn more if I were to rent the place out."
His eyes widened in disbelief, was this still the same Diana whom he met a few weeks ago? No! This Diana has ambition, plans and direction. She was actively taking charge of her life. "Wow! I did not expect that... That is actually a good plan"
Diana smiled and just nodded.
"Do you need help?" he offers, sincerely this time, without a hint of being condescending.
"Maybe? From time to time, Thank you! Da!" Diana says gratefully. "Your advice and input would be helpful from time to time" she adds.
"That was a stellar performance by the way!" Francis complements his daughter. " Those wedding songs reminds me of a time when I was..." he said trying to find the word.
"Hopeful? Yes, I did feel the same..." she admits to her father.
Francis sighs. " You know, I really did love your mother. It may have not gone well for the both of us, but not once did I regret loving her,"
Diana looks at her father, surprised at his sudden confession. Not once did her father open up to her about this issue.
"Why?!"
"Why what?"
"Da! She hurt you!" she exclaims.
"Yes, she did... and I may have done things that I shouldn't have, but what happened to us in the past, is what makes us who we are now. We grow and become wiser,"
"I guess you do have a good point..." she agrees. It made her think about her past abusive relationships, and what it thought her. Though it was terrible, it made her learn and it made her wiser.
"So how did you exactly end up here?"
"That's a really long story..."
" We have a lot of time,"
She began her story (omitting some parts of course) and told him about the music director Aedan looking for an alto-soprano which led her to where she is now.
"I see... I am glad you're able to use your classical training, anyways, when is the date of your performance?" he inquired.
"Why?"
"I want to see it of course!" he declares.
**********
"I see trees of green. Red roses too, I see them bloom. For me and you. And I think to myself, What a wonderful world..." Diana opens the dance floor for everyone, with the song 'What a wonderful world'. The strings followed, in harmony with her voice.
youtube
Couples, young and old, approached the dance floor and began dancing to the sweet tune.
The night was about to end, and she was grateful that her performance went well. Hopefully, she would also perform well with the orchestra at the outdoor theatre.
"I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do They're really saying I love you..."
She scanned the area and saw her cousin, Henry, being surrounded by girls. She stopped her from rolling her eyes, knowing that he was a known ladies man, even since they were young. On one side was her father who seemed to be enjoying himself, chatting with others. The atmosphere felt jolly that she swore she'd try to catch up with Henry or talk some more with her father after finishing the song.
"I hear babies cry. I watch them grow. They'll learn much more than I'll ever know. And I think to myself... What a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself... What a wonderful world. Ooh, yes I think to myself... What a wonderful world..." and with the last verse, Diana closes the song and the audience applauded. She smiled and thought, that it was still somehow a wonderful world despite everything she had gone through, there was still things she was thankful for.
With a sigh, she gives a toast to the newly married couple, and then turned to the quintet and thanked them, which gained her another set of 'Thank you's coming from them.
She looks around and found the bar, wanting a cold drink, preferably a beer. It's been weeks since she had anything cold and gassy. It wouldn't hurt from time to time to have an ice-cold beer after a long day of singing.
Wasting no time, she requested a pint of ice-cold craft beer on tap from the bar-tender, and he quickly poured her one large pint, its surface bubbling.
"Good job out there, you earned it, enjoy!" the bartender says, before moving to other requests.
"Thanks!" was her response.
She looked around trying to find Henry or her father in the crowd, whilst drinking her glass. However, before she could even make a move. Her father had already gone up to the podium, about to start his 'godfather' speech and before she could even look for Henry, a handsome guy had already sat beside her and tried to engage her in a conversation.
"Hello..." was his greeting, his voice deep. She looked at the colour of his kilt's Tartan, and immediately knew which family he is from.
"Wait! your name is probably something McLean!" she declares.
"Oh! wait, are you a Scott too?! Well, I am Sam McLean..." he said, stretching his hand for a handshake which she gladly took. She felt a little confident today, and talking to a handsome man isn't so bad thing to do to pass the time. Unless he actually is an asshole otherwise. She already has an escape plan.
Tumblr media
"You may call me, tonight..." was a flirty yet witty reply from her, causing Sam to laugh. "Or you may address me as, Diana"
"Well, Diana, that was a stellar performance throughout..." he compliments.
"Thank you! I'm glad you like it,"
"You have a very nice voice! So... may I buy you a drink?!" he offers.
"Of course! Or you could get me food since I haven't had my fill yet..." she said sheepishly, not having eaten anything yet.
"Oh! of course! what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you!" he offers.
" Cake" she implores, placing both her hands together as if praying.
"Of course, I'll be right back!" he said, immediately taking a small slice on a plate for her.
"There you go! Enjoy!" he says, pushing the small plate to her.
"Thank You, Sam!" she chuckles at the mention of his name. It was the same as the pseudonym she used when she wrote those 'love' letters to herself. "Thank you. I'd say 'God Bless you!', but it looks like He already did." was her flirtatious reply followed by a wink.
Sam bit his lips and laughed. He didn't know how to respond to that. "Thanks... I guess..." he holds his laughter, and clears her throat, "So Diana, what do you do? Besides singing? "
"I am independently impecunious..." was her answer.
Sam throws his head back laughing, knowing that he had found a hilarious person and the night will definitely not be boring.
"Enough about me, Sam! Let's talk about how attractive you are!" she adds.
Sam takes a deep breath but ended up laughing once again. " You're too funny for words!" However, before he could even say more...
"Sammy, laddie, hands-off! that is my daughter you're flirting with!" Francis chastises Sam from the podium after he finished his speech, causing everyone to turn their attention to Diana and Sam at the bar, upon finding out that she is Francis' daughter.
"Well, nice to meet you Diana!" he says. "Yikes..." and slowly backs away from her. It didn't matter how beautiful she is to him, she was Francis's Rutherford's daughter and there is no way she would want to incur her father's wrath.
"Sam? wait!" she says, perplexed at his sudden change.
**********
"Sam is an international playboy, he isn't the ideal man to date!" Henry says as he fiddled with his phone. Seated beside him inside the car is his cousin Diana, whom he ended up sending back home instead, as his Uncle, Francis, still had to stay at the wedding reception.
"Oho! You're one to talk Henry! " Diana chuckles, knowing her cousin's reputation.
"It can't be helped..." was his response.
"Should I tell the girls who chase after you, the same thing you told me?"
"It won't work... they'll chase after me more!" he declares, and both of them erupted in laughter, including their chauffeur in the front seat of the car, at how true the statement was.
"Well, aren't you afraid I'd chase Sam more?" she asks.
"You won't" was his quick reply.
"Because life has already knocked some sense out of you..." was his confident statement, aware of what Diana had gone through, all those years.
"I guess you're right," she sighs and smiles at herself, turning her attention to the view outside the car, whilst a classical piano rendition of 'Moon River' played inside the vehicle, making it a relaxing atmosphere.
"Lady Rutherford, we're here..." their chauffeur announces, and he gets out of the 'Ghost' to open the car for her.
"Thank you, Higgins!" she says, referring to Henry's chauffeur who opened the car door for her.
Henry followed after, alighting at the other side of the car. "Let me send you to your door..." he offers.
"Yes, walk me there," she says, as Henry walked beside her.
"We should have lunch sometime, eh? It's been a long time since I caught up with you!"
"Yes, we should do that" she agrees.
" If you don't mind, Mum wants to catch up with you too, can she come along?"
"Of course Aunt Minerva is more than welcome! How long has it been?!" she realizes suddenly that she had met her immediately family for years now since she started her relationship with Jesse, that was no longer the case now.
"It's set then" he declares, trying to find a spot inside his phone's calendar. "I'll set the time next weekend..."
"Alright! Well here's my door" she says turning to him to give him a quick hug.
Henry gladly returns her embrace " I'm glad you're in a better place now!" he adds, giving her shoulder a squeeze as an affirmation. "Well, I have to go, I have an early day tomorrow!"
However, before Henry could leave, the door opens to reveal Isaac, glaring at him.
"I'd normally say get a room, but this isn't a hotel" was the first thing Isaac said, the moment he opened the door, and 'caught' Diana, and some man, embracing each other in front of his door.
Henry looked at him puzzled, and when he realized that Isaac got the wrong idea about them, he released Diana from his arms. "Eww..." he grimaced and quickly turns around and gave a two-finger salute before he left "See you, Diana!"
Diana took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to burp before entering the house. She had four large pints of beer and 2 slices of cake which made her feel bloated, which made her feel regretful going on a drinking spree.
"Diana?" Isaac called, which she almost didn't notice because she was busy nursing the bloatedness.
"Mmmmm?"
"Remember you had 10 things you have to do for me?"
Diana just nods and covers her mouth, trying to burp as silent as she can. "Yes..."
"Well, I'm gonna use 1, let's have a talk..." was his stern reply.
"Dr Skovgaard? can we do this tomorrow?" she pleads, as she was bloated and tired.
"No, because I don't know where you will disappear to again..." he reprimands.
She sighs as she follows him to the dining room where a long session of scolding and preaching awaits her.
She sits down, resigned to her situation and prepared herself for Isaac's long preaching.
"Diana, you often disappear and reappear to I do not know where to, it's like I'm living with a Ghost. And when I message you, you do not respond..."
"But I do respond!" she reasons.
"Yes, two days later..."
"Oh... hehehe... I'm busy, sorry, please don't be mad at me" she apologizes, and laughs softly, struggling to also hide her drunkenness.
"Busy with what exactly??!!" he inhales sharply.
"Uhhh.... you know, things? work? earning a living?" she says a little sluggish. "You know, I gotta earn my keep..." the Scottish accent of hers, starting to come out.
"Men!?" he adds.
"Ahahaha yes... men" she giggles. "I'm not really busy with them, they're busy with me, which in turn... takes up a portion of my time, they're handsome, eye candies! So I guess it's worth the time..." she laughs.
"Unbelievable!" he throws his hands up in the air in exasperation.
"Dr Skovgaard, what are you really scolding me for?" she says, trying to suppress another burp.
He sighs " First, you disappear to who knows where and then reappear a few days later! You leave my message on 'read' and respond to them a day or two later as if I'm a weird guy you have been avoiding, and then you came home late, drunk! In the arms of another man! Do you know how I felt, do you know worried I was?!" he stressed out.
Diana stares at the tall ceiling and then laughs at the realizations " You make me sound like a stray cat who just comes home to eat!"
"I never said anything like that." he shakes his head in disapproval.
"I know... I'm just visualizing..." she adds, waving it off.
"Diana, you're not taking any of this seriously-"
She didn't know if it was drunkenness, but she felt a little brave, and without warning, got up from her seat and wrapped her arms around Isaac. "Alright, my love... I'm sorry, so sorry, I promise not to do it again!" she says, as her arms tighten around his waist.
Isaac, caught off-guard, stood there, frozen, unsure of how to react. "Diana?"
Diana just laughed, as she brought her hands to his cheeks. If anyone were to see them right now, it would look like they were a couple making up, after having a banter. "Oh, Dr Skovgaard... you sound just like a jealous husband!" she exclaims and laughs at his face. "You know I'd normally kiss you, but I'm not your beau..." she adds, tapping his cheek. "So, let's end this argument, and call it a day! I'm sorry, alright?! Good Night!" she says, kissing his cheek.
Isaac jolted in surprise due to her actions. He felt his cheeks, starting to get warm.
She releases Isaac from her embrace and sluggishly walked back upstairs, to her room, whilst singing a funny Scottish folk song and laughing halfway.
He sits down for a moment to collect himself and tried to process what had just happened. Trying to make sense of the feeling he currently has in his chest.
A/N: I have most probably made some grammatical errors, here and there... so I'd do some soft editing. I hope you enjoyed this one! I would also love to hear from you in the comments below.

A/N: Hi guys, I know I haven't submitted anything at deviantart/Tumblr for many years. I was actually busy with work, but now I had already taken a step back and so, here it is Me and MissIronLady's OC, Mentari Sinaga. 
Her name and origin (mostly everything about her is based on Southern China and South East Asia). Her Uniform is actually based on the actual soldiers uniform shown in LOK, the colour determines what element they control.  I look forward to slowly develop some stories make some fan mangas about her and her adventures. I do have an initial write up about her and Iroh II with the setting after the last season of LOK (after she retires from United Forces) and then during the second comic book of LOK, and it's sort of smutty and explicit (hehe) but I'm looking for a way to execute it in a none trashy way, something more like 'sensual'. Anyways, in the meantime, enjoy this one

(A 3AM Update) A True Gentleman, Chapter 20 - A case of jealousy
A/N: Hi guys! Chapter 20 is up! Enjoy reading and tell me what you think in the comments below.
TWENTY
A case of jealousy
Diana stared at the large tall ceiling of the concert hall. Right now, she's lying down on the stage, with a book on top of her rib cage, whilst doing vocal exercises and singing. Without a doubt, any member of the orchestra knew it was Aedan's doing.
As Diana struggled to recover every time she needs to prolong a part, Aedan required her to practice her breathing and take her voice completely from her diaphragm.
youtube
" You take the high road and I take the low, and I'll be in Scotland before ye, for me and my true love will never meet again, in the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond..."
The instruments and Diana's voice closes the song, whilst the music fade, her cold voice prolongs the last verse, and echoes throughout the music hall, giving chills to people around. The hall was quiet for a while, but then applause followed coming from the orchestra musicians, appreciating the improvement in Diana's voice.
"OH MY GOSH! Aedan! your method work!!" she declares! seeing the improvement in her voice.
"It did, but you can't sing lying down during performances, Diana!" Aedan says playfully. "Which is why it is important to practice standing!"
Diana sighs and gets up from the floor. Singing had drained her a bit of vocal power and physical energy, therefore she needed a short break. She sits beside Aedan and takes the unopened bottle of Snapple beside him.
"That was mine!" he reprimands.
"I owe you one..." was her quick response.
"You owe me a lot, speaking of which... what was your Dr Skovgaards reaction?"
She narrows her eyes at him, remembering the incident that had recently taken place. "Are trying to get me into trouble, Aedan?! you bloody sent my dress for the wedding gig, with a box of flowers and a 'dirty' letter-"
"Which you wrote by yourself by the way!" Aedan quickly rebuffs her.
" It was your idea! I told you to discard it!! You made it look like some scene in some cheesy r-rated novel!" she says reprimanding him, but all he did was laugh at her.
" So? Did it work? did it work? what was his reaction?! tell me! tell me! you're killing me with the suspense!."
**********
FLASHBACK
It was Saturday quarter to noon when the doorbell rang. Isaac, since he was having his day off, was the one who answered the door, instead of Diana. Heck, that girl almost never showed her presence recently, and only placed mail for him at the dining table.
Isaac opens the door and was surprised to find a delivery man carrying a large black box of 'Net-A-Porter' and on his other hand, was a huge round box of bright pink roses.
Tumblr media
"I did not order such thing!" was the first thing he said to the delivery man.
But the delivery man just laughed at him " Well, no one ordered them, these are all for 'Diana Rutherford' unless you happen to be her. Anyways, could you help me receive them? It's really heavy..."
Isaac's mouth hung agape, he didn't know how to react at the moment, and just took the boxes that the delivery man was carrying.
" Alright, please help me sign here to receive and we're good!" the delivery man hands him the 'received slip' after signing before leaving.
Isaac carries the boxes to the living room, and as much as he didn't want to, began snooping in. On top of the net-a-porter box was a card. He opened it and read its contents.
" To my sweetest Diana,
I hope you love the dress and the flowers I gave you. They represent my feelings towards you. I will fill you with love the next time I see you, I want to fill you with all the joys of the flesh, you lovely, lovely woman... I'd fill you until -"
Isaac clenched his fist and unknowingly crumpled the side of the letter. He read throughout it and it became steamy to explicitly dirty. His face felt warm, imagining what Diana had done with the man who sent these things, he just couldn't accept it and that was what broke the camels back.
He read the name at the end of the letter 'Sam'.
He chuckled and finally decided. "Alright, Sam... off you go..." he mumbles to himself. He didn't exactly know what came over him, but he wanted to throw the things this 'Sam' guy has sent.
"Dr. Skovgaard!" a familiar voice from up the stairs called him. He looked up to find Diana, looking at him expectantly. "Are those for me?!" she said excitedly, and came jogging downstairs."
"Uhhmmm... yes, some 'Sam' guy sent it to you..."
Diana forced a smile. 'Sam' was the pseudonym that she and Aedan agreed upon when they wrote the letter. Heck, she told him to abort the plan, but it seems it wasn't the case.
She quickly takes the boxes from Isaac and took a look at their contents, the dress she rented for one of her performances was already there. Aedan had packed it using a net-a-porter box to make it look like it was 'bought' instead of being rented.
The flowers were something she had bought for herself to place in her room, but it was Aedan's idea to make it look romantic.
She looks at the letter, and cringe upon reading it. It was actually a group of explicit letters formed into one. On the side, she couldn't help but notice the large crumple on the perfectly smooth surface of the card.
"Did you read the letter, Dr Skovgaard?" she felt blood rush to her cheeks.
"Uhhhmmm... no..." was his quick denial, however, Diana's gaze made him admit to it unknowingly. " Yes... by accident, sorry I was curious... " was his immediate defence.
"Oh..." she felt embarrassed and screamed internally.
There was a moment of awkward silence between the two before he spoke again.
"Whose, Sam? Are you two dating?" he tried to sound casual, but there was a strain in his voice that didn't escape Diana.
"Oh... uh, ahehehehe," she laughs awkwardly, avoiding his gaze. She noticed his expression darken and definitely didn't want to look him straight in the eyes. "It's a secret Dr Skovgaard!" she declares and winks at him, catching him off-guard.
She quickly takes the boxes from Isaac, and the card, and ran back upstairs to her room, singing a sensual tune, called 'Pillowtalk'. "I love to hold you close, tonight and always, I love to wake up next to you..." she dreamily sings.
Isaac clenched his teeth, the dreamy and shy expression, and singing silly to a dirty tune. This woman was smitten to whoever this 'Sam' guy is.
He did not like it one bit.
END OF FLASHBACK
**********
Diana shakes her head, and covers her face in embarrassment, just by remembering the letter she wrote to herself, and the fact that Isaac has read the letter.
On the side was Aedan laughing his head off upon hearing everything that had happened.
"Stop it, Aedan!" she chastises him, slapping his shoulder, but he just laughed louder. "I'm about to die in embarrassment!"
"You should thank me! you got the reaction out of him, he's jealous!" he exclaimed.
"I don't think that's the case Aedan, I think he's more concerned and angry at the thought of me probably dating a hypersexual man."
"Oh, Diana, based on what you told me, he's definitely jealous! trust me! I'm a man!" he assures, but she still doesn't believe.
"Oh well... I guess I'd revel in his reactions while it lasts... " She sighs.
**********
The next weekend, her first assignment is to sing at a society wedding. Aedan saw that Diana lacked confidence, and he didn't want her to stand and sing awkwardly on the day of the main performance. So what other way can she build confidence? by doing a performance! Or throwing her to the sharks full of water, courtesy of Aedan.
Today, she was going to sing with a piano quintet, and the church choir and she couldn't help but feel nervous, knowing she is the soloist for today and felt regret despite the promise of payment.
"Well... I can finally buy a 3D printer..." she assures herself as she walks towards the church's opulent doors wearing the dress that she had 'sent' herself.
Tumblr media
She knew this wee bit of money will help her buy the tools she needed in order to set up a small workshop studio she wanted and with renewed spirit, enters the halls of the church. Voices echoed as she entered halls, some of the guests were already seated whilst a number of children were still running around. The quintet was already there, setting up their strings and reading the music sheets, whilst the small choir were still chatting amongst themselves.
She heads towards the pulpit where all the musician was, but before she could even reach the place, familiar voices called her from behind. Turning around, she found her cousin Henry, beside her father, Francis and they were wearing kilts, and then she realized most of the men in the halls were indeed wearing kilts. Without a doubt, this was a Scottish wedding.
"Diana! It's nice to see you!" Henry greets, as he gets out of the pew to embrace his cousin.
"Ahehe... Henry? Da? What are you doing here?" was her first question.
"I should be the one asking you that!" was Francis reply. "What are you doing here? Do you happen to know the bride or groom?"
"Oh... uhhmmm... you know... to sing!" she declares.
"What?!" Francis was stunned. Sing?! Why does she need to sing? Unless she was actually the wedding singer. "Wait! Are you-"
"I'll talk to you later Da!" she says, half running to the pulpit, not wanting any more of the interrogation. It was better if he finds out himself that the wedding singer is his daughter. She'd face his wrath later on.
Half an hour later, the wedding has begun. She clears her throat and opens with the song called ' The One by Kodaline, as the entrance wedding march.
The piano began, and the choir began to sing the back vocals. Her cold voice followed, singing the first verse.
youtube
"Tell me. Tell me that you want me. And I'll be yours completely For better or for worse." she sings, as the processional march began with the wedding officiant entering first, followed by the groom and his best men. Afterwards, the bridesmaids, groomsmen and the ring bearer and flower girls entered the halls, scattering flowers down the floor.
And when the brides, turn came, the guess had stood up to welcome her.
" You make my heart feel like it's summer When the rain is pouring down You make my whole world feel so right when it's wrong That's how I know you are the one " she closes, the song when the bride had reached the altar. Turning to the side, she watched the groom shed some tears, as he took his bride's hands. It was no mistake that it was tears of joy.
She turned and found a number of guests, also crying. Including her father, and cousin, Henry. Heck, she'd never thought she'd see the day these tough men cry.
A pang of jealousy hits her as she watched the wedding ceremony. It takes her back to the time when she was seventeen, dreaming of her own wedding, whilst looking at Vera Wang wedding catalogues on the internet. She too dreamt of getting married to a man who loves her, a man who'd help her escape from her once uncaring father. A man who'd take away all the pain that she had suffered. But no, the man whom she almost married gave nothing but pain. If they did end up on the altar, she wondered if she would've become mental by now, or currently doing divorce proceedings. It took many twists and turns for her to realize that only she can make herself happy.
When the vows ended, Diana took it as a cue to sing the next song 'Fix You' by Coldplay. The strings open the song followed by the piano and then the hum of the choir.
youtube
"Tears stream down your face I promise you, I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face and I...
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you" The choir and quintet fade in the background as she prolongs the last word, and her voice echoed like cold wind throughout the church's halls.
The bride and the groom cry with tears of joy as the song ended, touched at the way Diana sang the song. The couple looks at each other fondly, before turning back to the altar.
"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife! You may now kiss the bride!" the wedding officiant declares.
Without any hesitation, the groom lifts the bride's veil and kisses her. Loud applause and cheers followed, and the recessional music plays.
Diana watched the bride and the groom march out of the church, followed by their cheering guest. It was moments like this that made her question her own life. However, she puts it aside, knowing where her priorities now lie.
A/N: I might have made some grammatical errors, so I'd do some soft editing along the way.
I hope you enjoyed that one! What do you think of Isaac being jealous? tell me in the comments section below.

(A 3AM Update) A True Gentleman, Chapter 19 - Taking back her life
A/N: Hi guys, Chapter 19 is up! Some lighthearted comedy here and there too. Not really much of a plot device, but we're approaching how to handle the reality of Diana's situation as she tries to take her life back. Tell me what you think in the comments below, and Enjoy reading!
NINETEEN
Taking back her life
Diana looked at the dating app on her phone and read the exchange of messages with her date. After the first time, in a long time, she was finally going out on a 'date'.
The guy who she had been chatting with seemed kind enough. In fact, she had chatted with him for a few weeks before even deciding to go out with him. She definitely does not want some asshole. Once bitten, twice shy. She has learned her lesson after all the years of being in an abusive relationship.
Again, sadly, she left the house through her bedroom window, not wanting to see Isaac. It had been weeks since they have seen each other. The only thing she heard was his voice and the sound of his footsteps around the house. In fact, he tried knocking on her bedroom door, only to be met with silence. She had been pretending to not be around for some time now, and the only time she talked to him was through phone messages, telling him that she had already paid the rent.
His attempts of communicating further were also met with silence on the other side of the line. If he was lucky, she would give him a late response as she was determined to cut herself from him emotionally.
**********
When Diana arrived at the place that she and her date agreed upon, she saw the open park theatre filled with orchestra musicians, packing their instruments. It appears that they had just finished their rehearsals.
She looked to her side, and there on one of the benches, seated, was a handsome man, reading through countless music sheets. She walks in his direction and clears her throat to get his attention.
"Maestro... I'm Diana Rutherford..."
**********
It was a funny reason why Diana had agreed on this date in the first place. First of all, it wasn't for something romantic. Her date is actually a music executive, composer and orchestra director who went to the dating app, only to find a replacement singer who can sing opera in alto-soprano for a small formal charity benefit to be held at the park. Second, she needed someone to talk to, and he and she happen to get along well. Nothing more.
Diana, with opera training, and whose voice happens to fall under alto-soprano, agreed, with a bit of hesitation, of course, thinking if this was legit or not. Furthermore, there was a promise of payment, which made her finally give in. Taking on a part-time job was not so bad after all, especially that she needed some extra funds.
"Uhhmmm, how do I address you?" was her first question. Of course, she knows his name. An epitome of tall, dark and handsome, he carried this air of quiet respect. So she wanted to be polite.
"By my name would be great" was his reply, accompanied with a disarming smile.
" Alright, Aedan... " she cleared her throat and sat up straight.
"Well, I'm just curious, what were you doing in the app with a fake profile? You don't look like you needed to do that" he states, seeing that she was nothing like the way she describes in her profile.
"I was looking for someone to date... no erase that, I was hoping for someone to talk to... the app was a convenient tool, especially, with the anonymity that the internet provided, but then I found you and that weird ad/ profile of yours." was her straight and honest answer.
He laughs at how honest she was. "Can't you afford a therapist? " he asked playfully.
" I can, but I can't afford to book a session with him every day... that will drain my funds" she reasons, and he chuckles at how direct yet funny she sounded.
"Don't you have friends?"
"Of course! I have friends! But..."
"But?"
"But I can't possibly worry them enough and stress them out. I can't be dependent on them for everything. There are also some things I can't discuss with them, you know? there are limits..."
"Like how you had been in love with their father for a long time?" he adds, remembering that she mentioned this to him before when they chatted in the app.
" Yep... see how that sounds like? 'Daddy Issues'. I mean I do admit, I have that. I will definitely get disowned by my friends if those issues come to light..." she sighs. "Oh, by the way, where are your other singers? and why did you have to find a singer using the dating app?" she adds.
He sighs, " One is currently busy with her children, a few of them preparing for their final papers, the others are currently overseas, travelling, no one is available on the date of the performance..."
"Oh... yes, that is a problem..." she nodded in agreement. " But why the app? It's unconventional..." she reasons.
He laughs " It's unconventional, but it was fast and it worked! I found you! You do realize that the app isn't only about dating!" he says, referring to the 'social' part where you find people or groups of like-minded people.
"Err... so do you plan to continue dating ?"
"No... I've deleted the app,"
"Ha? But why?"
"I didn't like some messages I've received from some..." he said, shaking his head and feeling the hair on the back of his head, stand. It creeped him out just remembering those inappropriate messages.
"Well... I can only imagine..." she said, understanding that he must've received some 'thirsty' messages that anyone will be uncomfortable reading, due to how attractive he is.
"Why did you click my profile?"
" Well... obviously, I swiped right because you're an attractive man... you look like a clean-cut version of 'Ross Poldark', other than that, I would have not talked to you, if not for what you've written in your bio."
" I like your honesty!" he declares and threw his head back laughing.
"Thank you..."
"Did you really have opera training?" he asked, still in doubt.
"Yes, I started during the sixth form, my grandmother sent me to lessons to build my confidence and voice...It even became my elective back in university... Then I joined choirs, sang oratorios... so on and so forth... I sang with the choir in church and there were times I sang part-time as a soloist in some events. I enjoyed those times, "
" What made you stop? Singing I mean?"
"I... I..." she paused for a moment, finding a clear way to explain what happened. " I got into a relationship... "
"Let me guess... he was either possessive or abusive?" he guessed, already knowing which was it.
"Both actually... he didn't like me being looked at when I sang... I guess he wanted the audience to close their eyes during a song..." she recalls, remembering the incident with her ex, Jesse.
Aedan laughed and nodded in agreement. Hearing such situations wasn't new to him. He had a few incidents before where a soloist came to a rehearsal with a black eye. Abusive people demand the victim's attention solely focused on them, and try to cut off the victim from the activities they love.
"I do hope you are no longer with that man... I don't want another soloist coming to a rehearsal unable to sing properly because she is injured... don't get me wrong, I may want the performance to be perfect, but I do care for people, and I do feel the pain when I see such situations..."
"Yes... don't worry, I've broken up with him a long time ago," she assured.
"Good!" he exclaims and after a while, remembers something and looks at his watch. "Rehearsals resume in an hours time. Let's have lunch, and we will test your voice later"
**********
"What made you want to sing again? If I may ask?" Aedan said, waiting for the orchestra to return to their seats.
"It's just... I want my life back, Aedan... I just want to go back to what I used to be" was her answer, and he understood.
"Alright..." Aedan taps his baton on the podium, signalling everyone that they were about to start rehearsal. He calls in another person, and another man enters the stage.
"Diana, this is Max, your duet, Max, this is Diana, your new partner!" Aedan introduces.
Diana looked at Max and her mouth hung agape in admiration. if Aedan is handsome, so is Max! Tall, dark, and ruggedly handsome, bearing a fleeting resemblance to Hugh Jackman. She smiled, and giggled to herself, thanking her lucky stars for being surrounded by handsome men today. This would definitely be a good step to move on.
"Diana," Max stretches his hand out for a handshake and she gives them a tight squeeze, whilst smiling like a schoolgirl at him.
"You can ogle at him later, all you want, if you pass the 'audition', Diana!" Aedan teased, earning him a grimace from her. He chuckled at her reaction but quickly asked her to stand straight and get ready for vocal warm-ups.
Aedan sits adjacent to the grand piano and plays the keys for the duet to warm up. After the vocal warm-ups, he goes back to his podium and the orchestra sat in position.
"We have a tradition in this group, every time there is a new singer... as a welcome, she is to sing-" Aedan waves his baton and the began to play the introductory part of the song 'Libiamo ne' lieti calici' which was followed by Max baritone voice, singing the first verse and turning to Diana with a smile.

"How appropriate," she smiled, knowing that it was quite a welcoming song and felt the excitement in her heart to sing once again. And when her turn came, she took a deep breath and without hesitation and care of the possibility of singing out of tune, she gave it her all.
When the song was about to close, the orchestra plays increases their tempo, so as the two duets and then together, they hit the high note with their voices, closing the brindisi.
Diana catches her breath, it was definitely a struggle for her to hit the note, how long has it been since she sang? Years. However, she was met by applause by the orchestra musicians, her duet partner, and the director, Aedan, which came to her as a surprise, because she knew she didn't hit every note right.
"Welcome to the group, Diana!" Max smiles, giving her a squeeze in her hand.
"Thank you, Max!" was her response.
"Welcome to the group, Diana! you've missed a note here and there, but I believe that can be improved with practice" Aedan says, as he approaches. The way he said 'practice' already scares her.
**********
"Oh, my, my, Diana! you are glowing, recently!" Mrs Chambers greets Diana as she goes back to her reception area after lunch.
"Thank you! But what do you mean glowing?" she asked, a little bemused.
" You lively! Happier?! no longer gloomy liked you used to be, no offence" was Mrs Chambers direct answer.
"None taken..." she smiles, knowing that Mrs Chambers has a point. She looked like a pale, gloomy flower.
"Is this a new skincare? beauty routine? activity, a new man?"
Diana laughed at the last part of what Mrs Chambers said. "No, unfortunately, not a man... It's probably because of having clarity of the mind now," she said, knowing that Mrs Chambers was also aware of the past depressing incidents that she had gone through.
"I am glad for that!" Mrs Chambers smiles at her.
Earning the clarity of the mind was one of the things Diana was grateful for. Especially now that she was trying to take her life back.
She looks at her schedule on her phone. On Thursday evenings, she takes JUDO classes, and on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon were rehearsals and additional training with Aedan. He wasn't kidding when she told her how strict he is. Heck, he knows when one didn't practice the song. There was a wee bit of regret in her for agreeing to take JUDO classes and joining the orchestra as one of their singers, especially now that she had to follow strict discipline. But gratefulness, enjoyment, and the contentment it gave her overweighs the regret.
**********
Diana enters the restaurant and looks around for Aedan. He told her that they would meet at this restaurant which was, near her office, before they head for practice.
She smiles and waves at him, upon seeing him seated at a table near the window. He smiles back and waves at her to come over.
"Hello, Aedan"
"Good Afternoon, Diana! I sure do hope you practised the song."
"Ahehehe... I did!..."
He narrows his eyes on her.
"I swear I did!, though it was a struggle, I made sure I did, every day! In full voice!" she says in her defence.
Aedan laughs. "Don't worry, I understand, you don't want your 'crush' to hear you singing! By the way, do you still leave the house using your bedroom window?"
She looks at him sheepishly and that look she gave was enough to answer his question.
He throws his head back laughing. "Oh, Diana! How are you going to leave the house on the day of the performance? Do you want me to rescue you from the tower and fight the dragon?" he teased.
"What the heck! Aedan! Dr. Skovgaard isn't a dragon!"
"I never said that!" he says, hand up in surrender, still laughing.
"Diana?!" a familiar voice calls her name, she looks around to find Allegra seated at the nearby table.
"Allegra!" she greets, a little nervous, as if she was a little girl caught in a misdeed.
"You're here! I haven't seen you in a long time! Look how glowing you are!" Allegra says, echoing the same thing Mrs Chambers had said and gives her friend a tight embrace. "You wouldn't join us for dinner, what have you been up to?!" was her next question.
"Ahehehe..."
However, before Diana could think of an answer, Allegra turns her attention to Aedan. She looked at him suspiciously which made Diana nervous.
"And may I know who is this? care to introduce me to your new friend?"
"This is Aedan, Aedan, this is Allegra, my best friend..." she introduces, and Allegra immediately takes the seat beside Diana, still looking at the man suspiciously.
Aedan beams at her and stretches out his hands, offering Allegra a handshake, which she took.
"Hi, I'm Aedan McInnes... Diana's date" he says, followed by his disarming smile. Knowing that Diana didn't want to tell anyone of her current activities.
"What?!" Allegra's eyes widened in shock. "Since when? You've never told us anything, Diana!" she says, turning to Diana.
"Oh! it's just recent! I didn't want to tell anyone because everything happened just recently! Plus, I didn't want to worry you, also... Aedan's a great guy!" she reasons and gives the grinning man a quick glare.
"I see... well... Of course, I'd be worried about you, and Aedan, what do you do?" was the beginning of Allegra's interrogation.
" I am a music producer," was his reply, which is part of the truth.
Diana sighs, as the interrogation continued.
**********
"Out of many things you could think of! Aedan! you told Allegra, that you're my date..." was the first thing that came out of Diana during the rehearsal break. They were almost late for rehearsal because of it. "We barely made it out of there!"
However, the only reply Aedan gave was a hearty laugh. "Tell me, Diana, what are you exactly worried about? By right, we are not doing anything wrong,"
She paused for a moment and thought about it. What was she worried about " I... I don't know... Dr Skovgaard finding out?" the reason just carelessly slipped out of her lips.
"Aha!" Aedan exclaimed, causing Diana to jolt in surprise.
"What?"
" You're worried about your crush finding out!" he declares.
" Wait...what? I said that?! I-"
"Diana, look, you should not worry, in fact, you should be glad! If your Dr Skovgaard reacts, then it means he cares for you!"
"Of course, that man cares for me! I told you he sees me as his daughter! "
"Uh, uh , uh, that will depend on how he reacts!" he adds, making her a little hopeful. However, she knew that it was impossible.
**********
It was a Sunday when Allegra met her father for brunch. She excitedly jogs upon the small staircase that led to the front door of the restaurant. She had been wanting to tell her dad what she had recently found out.
"Woah... Allegra, what is all this excitement about?" was the first thing Isaac said to his daughter, the moment she arrived at their table, looking a little too excited. He chuckles and calls for the waiter, thinking that it was some sort of good news.
"Guess what I've found out yesterday dad!" her tone and expression turning into 'worry'.
"What is it?"
" Ross Poldark! he's dating her!!" Allegra declares. Describing how Aedan, her friend's date yesterday, has a fleeting resemblance to the character.
"Wait... what? " was his reply, unable to comprehend what his daughter was saying.
" Diana is dating again!!" she declares, clearer this time.
Isaac's expression changes from 'worry' to something darker. Which his daughter didn't notice as she continued telling what she found out.
A/N: I probably made some grammatical errors here and there, so I'd do some soft editing from time to time. Why do you think Isaac's expression darkened? tell me what you think in the comments below.
Also;
Brindisi - is a drinking song.
A number of Opera Singers / Choral Singers / Soloist / Orchestra Musicians have day jobs.
My face claims were; Aidan Turner and Hugh Jackman for Aedan and Max (Because Hugh can sing). I also want to assure you, they're not rivals of Isaac, but plot vouchers for the next chapters. These characters are there to give clarity and support to Diana.

(A 3AM Update) A True Gentleman, Chapter 18 - Realizations
A/N: Before anything else, I really am sorry that I'm only writing now. I guess the past few years of stress and overworking have finally taken their toll on me. I was recently diagnosed with ‘Hypothyroidism’ and I end up sleeping way too early than my supposed bedtime because I get tired real quick. Getting to the point, I think I've become like a Koala bear who only wakes up to eat. Nonetheless, I still like writing, and I am trying to get back into writing, so here I am writing another story. Chapter 18 is up! Reality bites Diana.
                                                    EIGHTEEN
                                                   Realizations
When Isaac and Diana arrived home, they heard voices coming from the kitchen as they entered from the back door. Isaac sighed and wanted to facepalm himself when he realized that his daughters weren’t done setting up the surprise meant for Diana.
The two women were still busy arguing about decorations that they did not notice their father, and their best friend enters the room. Diana chuckled and took the birthday trumpet and blew the horn, getting both their attention.
The two siblings snapped their heads in the sound’s direction, only to realize that their supposed surprise was no longer a surprise.
“Dad!” the siblings complained in unison. Allegra facepalmed herself whilst Olivia continued complaining. “ You had one job, Dad! One job!”
Isaac raises his hands in surrender and uttered a word of sorry.
“It’s alright...” Diana assured both of them, it was the effort that counts after all.
                                                      **********
That night after her birthday party, not wanting to be alone with Isaac, Diana quickly retreated back to her bedroom after his daughters left. She didn’t want to be disturbed or be reminded of the bet they had agreed on earlier. Moreover, the birthday party being thrown for her felt strange. It’s just not something she was used to.
She sits down at the sofa that was next to the window and lounges there for a while. She was tired of living as a ‘victim’, desperate for approval, and begging for affection and love that vowed to take charge of her life more actively from now on and stop depending on Isaac.
The first step would be finding a new apartment, as she needed to get away from him and let go of her feelings out of respect for her Allegra, and Olivia. Second, she needed to get herself in the right frame of mind and be more self-sufficient, emotionally and mentally. The third step is getting a job or create her own startup since she has a bit of money.
With a newfound purpose, she strengthened her resolve and promised to start the next day.
                                                       **********
Because she had promised to meet up with Alric for lunch, she needed to leave the house, which means she had to go out of her room and see Isaac. The thought of possibly meeting him downstairs dreaded her. So she thought of another way to get out of her room and leave the house without getting caught, and that was leaving through her bedroom window.
She was glad that her bedroom window was facing the back garden where the fence had a door for her to exit. Not only that, she also secretly placed a wooden ladder and disguised it as decoration, so it would be easier for her to climb down.
With a sigh and her bag and shoes in her other hand, she climbs down the ladder. It felt like she was a teenager running away from her guardian. When she reached the ground, she quickly put on her shoes and ran to the door of the fence.
She felt some sort of victory when she left without being caught and decided from now on to use the window, no matter how inconvenient it would be.
                                                   **********
“Happy Birthday, Diana!” Alric exclaimed, and gives her a warm hug, and hands her a gift bag, followed by an envelope.
“Thank you, Alric! but you really didn’t have to! celebrating it with me is enough!” she assured.
“What are you waiting for? Open it!” her bother encouraged.
She looks at the bag and the envelope curiously, before deciding on opening the envelope first. She smiles at her brother, expecting it to be a greeting card, with a touching message inside, but what she found was something else.
“ You registered me for JUDO classes?” she scratches her head, it was one of the most unique gifts she received.
“Yes” was his answer.
“But why?”
“ Because I’m worried about you, Diana... I don’t want you to be beaten and bruised again. I just want you to be able to be strong enough, stand up for yourself effectively, and feel safe “ he appealed to her, knowing that she might be hesitant about the class.
Diana leaned back to her seat and smiled at her brother. She knew that he had been worried about her ever since he found out about the toxic relationship she had with her ex. “Thank You, Alric! I really like this gift... In fact, I’m already excited to join the classes!”
“And one more thing... I’d hate to ask you this... but I just need to confirm it, you wanted to move to a new place because of Isaac?” he asked hesitantly, but his curiosity got better of him. He was the first one to know as he was also the first and only one Diana had told.
“Yes...” was her answer.
“Did he do anything wrong?” his voice hardened.
“No!” was her quick reply. Not wanting Isaac to be wrongly accused of anything.
“Then? Why? You like Dr Skovgaard, shouldn’t you be happy that you’re living with your ‘crush’? But seriously, why? Women who fancy him would definitely envy your situation! ”
“Alric...” she chuckles, and then sighs. “ That is exactly why I need to get away from him. I’m in love with the man...”
Alric kept silent and didn’t know how to respond to his sister’s full admission of her feelings.
“ Yes... exactly? you’re in love with the man! why do you want to leave?” was his question after a few moments of silence.
“Look Alric, first of all, Isaac will never look my way and that hurts...”
“Don’t be like that! You’re-”
“Let me finish...” she said quickly cutting him off. “ The man definitely sees me as his niece or daughter. Knowing that we will be nothing more than that... it hurts like hell.” she pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath, feeling the tug in her heart.
“Second, even if it is an impossible scenario... that he has affections for me too... I will lose my friendship with Allegra and Olivia, and I can’t bear for that to happen. Me, pursuing their father, will be seen as a ‘betrayal of their trust'. In whatever angle you look at it, a best friend of yours suddenly dating your father does not look good,”
Alric sighed. Though he rooted for his sister and Isaac, everything she had just said was on point. It doesn’t matter if Isaac and she are consenting adults, it doesn’t matter if their intentions are pure. It would be his sister who would be on the losing end.
He reaches for her hand and gave it a squeeze. “Alright, I’ll help you...”
A/N: I will do some soft editing because I probably have made some grammatical errors along the way.
Also, one more thing. I know you think this chapter is a little sad. But we needed to approach the reality of what will happen if she were to date, Isaac. But I would still love what you guys think, your input in approaching this will be a great help!

That Morning After
A/N: My apologies for not writing for quite some time, there is a lot of work piled up on the desk. Nonetheless, I really want to write. This is the sequel to: “How it almost did not happen”.
                                                  The Morning After
Diana rose from her bed groggily with a splitting headache and sighed in relief when she found a glass of water on top of her nightstand, and glad that Isaac placed it there. She takes the glass and finishes it in one go. After being woken up from a good dream she just had, she felt frustrated as it left her ‘in need’.
Diana’s body hardened as she closed her eyes, recalling the ‘dream’ that she had just woken up from. In that dream, she finally had the courage to seduce Isaac into her bed. But it felt too good to be true, besides she’s too embarrassed to even do so and didn’t know where she could even get the courage from. But that wasn’t the problem now, the problem now was that she was ‘aching’ and that she would need to find a way to quench her ‘thirst’.
“Good Morning” a familiar deep sounding voice greeted her. She looked up to find Isaac, leaning against her room’s door frame, whilst putting on the cuff links on his sleeves.
She smiled sleepily and greeted “Good Morning”.
As she looked up to meet his gaze, she saw his expression darken, and wondered what was the reason for the sudden change.
“What’s wrong, Isaac?”
Isaac paused to admire her voluptuous half-naked body and light olive skin that glowed in the pale morning light. Not until last night, he discovered her delicate rounded hips, that large sexy tattoo that runs from the side of her waist to her hips, and the magnificent breast that was cushioning the pendant he’d given her last night as a gift. Oh, who would ever think that she hid a voluptuous body underneath those shapeless dresses that she often wore?
For a long and delightful moment, his attention lingered on those lush curves with their dark rosy crests. Then his eyes travelled to her face. Oh, she was beautiful!“Isaac?” she called.
“Are you trying to tempt me again?” he let out in a low voice as if it was a warning.
“Tempt you?” she giggled, finding it ridiculous. She was too embarrassed to even do so. When she yawned and stretched her body, it maddened him even more.
“Please, I am not at leisure this afternoon...” he warned.
She gave him a questioning look as she leaned against the headboard. Only then did she feel the cold metal pendant against the skin of her chest. She looked down to realize that she is naked under the covers and that she had been exposing her breast to him all this time. Which means that the dream that she just woken up from wasn’t a dream at all.
She quickly scooped up the duvet to cover her breast and looked away in embarrassment. Her face started to turn red as events from last night began replaying in her head. The numerous glass of whiskey that she had was probably the culprit that gave her the courage last night.
“I see, regret?....” he teased.
“No, no, no... No, Isaac... It’s just that” she paused, remembering more of the things that occurred the last night. She had moaned and begged him repeatedly like a wanton hussy, after making her reach oblivion a number of times. 
“Embarrassed?” he said, as he sat on the side of the bed.
She did not reply and instead, looked down in embarrassment and quickly buried herself under the duvet.
Isaac chuckled finding her reaction adorable and sat at her side of the bed. He hugged the large lump that her body under duvet had created, and decided to tease her by whispering some dirty things.
“Oh, Diana, you’re so adorable,” he whispered playfully, whilst trying to tug the duvet. “ 
“Don’t make fun of me, Isaac!” she says in protest and elbows him from under the duvet in the process.
“Ouch, you wound me...” he chuckles, trying to feign hurt at what she did.
A deep sigh coming from under the duvet was heard.
“There is nothing to be embarrassed about, Diana” he whispered against the duvet. 
“I know... it’s just that” she hesitated.
“It’s just that?”
“I do not know how to say it... I’m not embarrassed doing it with you, I’m embarrassed at myself, and how I...” she paused “how I behaved the last night” she sighed once more. “I feel like a whore...”
“Sexual guilt...” he concluded.
“Maybe, is that what you call it?” she asked, turning around under the quilt, but still hiding underneath.
“Yes, has it always been like this? where is this coming from?” he questioned.
“No, it wasn’t... in the beginning, it wasn’t...” she recalled.
“So, it’s just with me?”
“No... no... no! Don’t get me wrong...” she sighed and paused for a moment, and tried to think of a way to explain the whole thing without Isaac misinterpreting her, or getting offended. “During my first relationship, it wasn’t like this... nor the relationships that followed... it’s just that when it came to Me and Jesse when we got together... I don’t know... I didn’t get to enjoy the act as much...” she paused once more, not really knowing if she should continue or not.
“Go on...” he encouraged.
“ Let’s just say, pleasure only goes one way... and that I’d be made to feel guilty if I ask for it. Since then, I don’t always find myself getting excited. In fact, it gives me some sort of dread. Perhaps it's one of the many reasons, and maybe, partly because it’s been a really long time...”
“Ah! which is why the alcohol,” he surmised, upon remembering the number of hard liquor she had last night.
“Yes... and I’m sorry, Isaac... the problem was never you... so please don’t worry about it... I just need to find a way to resolve it myself.”
“Nothing to be sorry about, I’m just glad you are honest with me about these things...” he assured as he hugged the lump.
When she poked her head out of the duvet to look at him. Isaac laughed at how she looked.
“Stop it! I told you not to make fun of me!” she complained.
“I’m not, it’s just that you look really adorable when you did that, oh, and you are red!” he said as he cupped her cheeks and squeezed it.
“Ha!” with that, to his surprise, she bolts out of bed and runs to her bathroom. As she looked at the full-length mirror, she couldn’t believe how flushed her skin was. 
“Do you have anything packed to solve this?” she said in a panic whilst looking at herself at the large bathroom mirror. It was as if she was a lobster that was boiled in hot water.
“No,” was his answer as he stepped inside her bathroom without her noticing. He licked his lips and it curled into a mischevious smile. She was a sight to behold, right there standing without anything on. She was too busy worrying about how flushed her skin was, that she did not realize his presence inside her bathroom. If he only didn’t have an appointment with his friend, he would’ve jumped on her right there. 
Diana sighed, upset that her morning didn’t start the way she had wanted it to. First, she embarrassed herself by unintentionally exposing her breast to Isaac and that dirty recollection of how she behaved wantonly last night that followed after. Next is the current ‘allergic reaction’ she’s having. Unsure of whether it’s because of something she ate, or another thing. And then she realizes that she is standing in front of him, still naked.
“You’re not very comfortable with your body, aren’t you?” he murmured behind her ears as he wrapped his arms around her waist, which caused her to jolt due to being caught off guard. He nips the skin under her ear lobe, causing her to moan.
“Isaac...” she groaned, “ I look like a lobster...” and tried to discourage him. She was not ready to embarrass herself again. 
“I like lobsters... their tasty” he whispers naughtily as his two hands travelled down her body, tracing the shape of her waist down to the most sensitive part of hers. His two fingers began rubbing that sweet spot, causing her to involuntarily moan. With the remaining willpower she has, she pulled his hands away from her mound and turned to face him. He raised a brow and wondered why she made him stop his ministrations.  “I have some sort of... maybe it’s an allergy and I don’t think that clitoral stimulation is the cure for that.” she blushed.
He chuckled at what she said, and buried his lips on her neck, inhaling her scent.
“And aren’t you supposed to be heading to lunch with your friend right now?” she added. “You said it yourself, you aren’t at leisure today!” she said, trying to distract him from his intentions. He laughed quietly against her neck, causing her body to react. He did find her weak, sweet spots, and this was one of them. “I can make a bit of time... I don’t mind running a bit late”, he murmured as his hands travelled back to her upper body and squeezed her breast. “Isaac, I’m having an allergy... please... can you be more serious, you’re a doctor!” she said, a little annoyed at the fact that she was somehow enjoying his distraction.
“It’s not an allergy... and there’s an only one cure for it...” he answered, still not letting go of her waist. “ What then?”
He turned her body to face the mirror as his other hand, reached for her cheek, turning her head to face him. “You can start by looking at yourself in the mirror and then pleasing yourself” he whispered naughtily.
“What?!! Isaac! I don’t think that's-” she complained, but was quickly silenced by a passionate kiss from Isaac. At first, she tried to push herself out of his grasp in protest. However, she was unable to resist him and lost her all her willpower, slowly surrendering to him. 
She returned his kiss with equal fervour after a while, but he pulled away so both of then can breathe. Panting, he leaned his forehead against hers, before brushing his lips on her cheeks to her ears and whispered sweet nothings.
His hand travelled back to her breast, kneading it. Which elicited a moan from her, while his other hand travelled back down south.
Her gaze landed at the full-length mirror, staring at the both of them. Isaac’s eyes darkened with lust, whilst staring at her. She felt annoyed how he was still fully clothed in his suit (while she was naked), and how good he looked on it whilst doing his ministrations. Her head fell back against his shoulder, and her eyes closed in pleasure as his fingers brush gently against the burning slick skin of her outer folds. She shuddered and her lips were pressed together hard. Her heart was pounding, and her skin was more flushed than it was before, as his fingers slip deeper into the folds of flesh, pressing against her aching and desperate clit. His fingers sped up moving in speedy circles on her clit and were pushing her further to the edge.
She was close, and she almost didn’t want it to be over but at the same time the sweet need for release was building and burning inside her. Instinctively, she opened her legs a little wider and her back arched against Isaac and found herself unable to stand any longer, but he quickly wraps his arm on her waist, which prevented her from falling off. Finally reaching oblivion, her orgasm exploded inside her, sending reverberations of pleasure shuddering through her whole body. She came long and loud, as her body leaned against Isaac and shook in ecstasy. After what seemed like a blissful eternity, she let out an exhausted and satisfied sigh. Isaac smiles and kisses her, before carrying her back to her bed. He wasn’t done yet. They were just starting A/N: Will be soft editing as I may have made some grammatical errors.
Hi peeps, sorry that I only wrote now, apparently I’ve been busy the past few weeks, and now I found the time. I’ll try to update more. I also plan on continuing this one shot and continue where this two left off. ;) Hope you enjoyed this short!

Update
Hi guys, I am currently in Thailand for an exchange programme, but I want to still so badly to update! Especially at this situation. Let me tell you that what I’m going through right now isn’t easy.
Tumblr media
This is one of the pictures I took the other night, and somehow it gave me some encouragement to do some writing. 
Stand by for some update.

I love writing, my apologies, but please bear with me for a while.
I really really want to update, but the workload in school is so heavy. In fact, it’s killing me emotionally that I couldn’t write and to those of you who know me, writing is my release and a great part of my life. 
I cried so much whilst writing this because I’ve been wanting to write for so long. It is not because I don’t want to update, it’s just that I don’t have the time to write. I know I still log in to Tumblr, but mostly to reblog only for a short while and see how everyone is doing.
Again, my apologies, I will write again as soon as the workload is submitted.
Thanks and Best Regards,
MSILWRITES
