She was making this too easy and he was having a hard time controlling himself. He had to grip his cup to keep himself from jumping her right there. But he kept his hands on his cup and kept his eyes averted away from her. "Well then I guess things are good between us" He said and got up from his seat "Well I'm going to go refresh my tea and possibly take a cold shower" he said and walked inside trying to make his foot steps as light as possible to force himself to keep walking inside. He walked into the kitchen and set his cup on the counter his hands on either side of it. His knuckles turning white from pressing so hard. "Control...it's not that hard Hatter" he said and pushed away from the counter.

She smiled and nodded her head, watching as he left. When he was inside however she let out a deep sigh and shivered. She felt it best to leave him alone for a while and let him have his cold shower, though why he would need that she wasn't quite sure she wanted to know. Walking to the side of the house, she set the watering can down and then slowly walked inside, hoping that he would be in the shower by now. She slipped into her room quickly and lay down on the bed, burying her face into the pillow, letting the muffled noise of her breathing calm her down.
Her tail had unwrapped itself but as it seemed to have a mind of its own, it stayed limp with random twitches. She rolled over onto her back now her eyes closed and arms above her head, tail splayed out to her side, hanging over the bed. Breathing deeply Isabella cleared her mind and then just let it wander, not trying to go to sleep but just relaxing herself.

Hatter walked into his room and sat down on his bed. What was he going to do, she was right there across the hallway and he could just walk over there and knock on it. But he stayed where he was trying to force himself to get up and take a shower. He got to his feet and the next thing he knew he was standing outside her door. 'Might as well' he thought to himself and knocked on her door "Isabella?"

Her eyes opened and she sat up when she heard her name called. She scrunched her eyes up when she thought for a moment, 'Shouldn't he be in the shower?' But she pushed that away and answered, "Yes?" She was curious as to what he could want but she wasn't sure if it would be good or bad. Either way she would welcome him in. "You can come in." She then added in case he wasn't sure if he could. Her mood had gotten better quickly as she had cleared her mind and relaxed for a little while. That had always helped her and had worked almost every time she had tried it. She scooted to the edge of the bed, sitting there with her legs hanging off. Isabella didn't want Hatter to think that he had woke her because he hadn't.

Hatter took a breath and smiled when she opened the door 'good god' he said and walked into her room but not too far. He watched her walk over to her bed and sit and this made it even harder for him to jump her. He took another breath, he walked up to her and placed a hand on her cheek. He stroked her cheek with his thumb and then leaned in placing his lips on her ever so gently. He lingered there for a minute and then pulled away. "I'm sorry" he said and then turned around and walked out. He quickly closed his door and walked into his bathroom. "Stupid stupid stupid" he slammed his head into the wall a couple of times and then slide to sit on the floor.

Her body tensed involuntarily though she tried to force it to relax when he touched her cheek the way he did. This was quite unexpected for her and then when he kissed her, her face bloomed bright red in blush and she just sat there surprised. 'He stole my first kiss...' She thought before realization crashed around her and he apologized and slammed the bathroom door. She got up quickly, worried when she heard banging coming from inside the bathroom. "Hatter!" She called out as she walked towards where she thought he had gone. She tried the door and found it not to be locked. Slipping inside, she saw him on the ground and knelt down in front of him. "Hatter are you okay? I heard something that sounded like banging. You didn't hurt yourself did you?" She was genuinely concerned and didn't care about the kiss after all it was just that. "It doesn't matter. I didn't mind it really." She commented, hoping that he wouldn't be so upset. She hadn't really minded, he had just been quite surprised.
((Hope this works alright. >.<))

Hatter just sat on the floor staring off into space trying to make sense of what ever just happened and how he was going to face her. He sucked in a breath when she came into his bathroom and he really didn't know what to do. He kept staring off into space trying to recall his mind back so that he could tell her that he was fine and she just needed to get as far away from as she could. "I...I'm...fine" he said quietly trying not to look at her. "I'm sure you are just trying to make me feel better. Please don't. I violated you and trust me that's not all my mind wanted me to do" he had to be honest with her, he felt that he needed to be honest with her. She was sweet, nice and beautiful and so intoxicating to him.

So he had wanted to do more than just kiss her. Isabella let out a shaky breath and took his face into her two hands, turning it to face her. She looked at him, her eyes sad and her face looking nervous. "If you want me to leave than I will but..." Her eyes teared up some but she held them back. "I trust you enough just by you trying so hard not to do something. If you do something than so be it. I will forgive you, just like I already have. I like talking to you and I get the feeling that you need someone to talk to. I want to try and help you..." She let go of his face and turned her own away, wiping away a tear that started to fall.
She didn't know why she was getting so emotional other than she really didn't want to be pulled back into the slave market and that she thought Hatter was actually a really nice guy but he had his issues and she could see that. She turned back to him and touched him on the shoulder before getting up. "I like you the way you are and...I'm fine with whatever you do I just don't want to be forced into anything.... but you can ask...I guess." Isabella wasn't sure she was fine with everything but figured that she would find out if anything did happen anytime soon. She turned around and walked out, closing the door to her room and sitting on the bed, squeezing her pillow as tears that she couldn't explain fell.

He wanted to reach out to her, make her stay with him but he knew how he was with people. Julia and Tom hardly stayed for a conversation and here Isabella was trying to be his friend and then he pushed her away. He made her cry that much was apparent. He made himself stand, he looked at himself in the mirror and then walked into his room. He went through his hats and found the perfect one for her. He went to work a little bit to make ear holes for her. He dusted off the hat and then walked to her room. He knocked on the door again "Isabella...I have a gift for you" he called to her in a soft tone.

She had quit crying after a while though her eyes were quite red from rubbing them. Isabella had almost drifted off to sleep and her body was tired but when she heard the knock and Hatters voice, she placed her pillow back on the bed and tried to make her face look a little less sleepy. Walking up to the door, she opened it wide and looked at Hatter. She rubbed her right eyes slightly and leaned up against the door frame, her hair a little messy from the way she had been laying.
Managing a smile she looked up at him. "You didn't have to" She commented. She was still a little drowsy so not fully comprehending her surroundings so she giggled some. "I've never been given a present before." She then looked up at him, her big dark blue eyes surveying his face.

He looked away from her when she answered the door "here" he said and then held it out to her "I'm sorry for upsetting you. I would very much like it if you stay here with me. I like having your company" he said in a soft tone "If you don't like it I have many others that I can fix to fit your ears" he said and dropped his head so that she wouldn't feel bad about the way she looked cause she looked rather cute to him.

Isabella smiled widely and accepted the gift. "I love it." She exclaimed as she looked it over before putting it on her head, her ears fitting through it just right. She gave him a small and short hug. "Thank you Hatter you really didn't have to though. Did you make this? It's really well done." She broke the hug, her face a happy contentment. "Thank you for letting me stay as well." She then commented, a small blush on her cheeks.
He had stolen her first kiss and given her her first present. She smirked to herself about this thought but then looked up at Hatter. "Look it's almost lunch time. How about I make you some tea and a sandwich." She offered as he looked down still. Maybe some tea and food would cheer him up?

"Thank you" he said trying to figure out what to do but she looked like she was feeling better about what he had done earlier and then he perked up "tea and a sandwich would be nice, thank you" he said and followed her into the kitchen to take a seat. He had never had anyone fix anything for him. He was extremely happy that she like his hat.

Continuing to wear the hat, she went into the kitchen and started to get to work. This was something she was used to doing and she tried her very hardest. She put the tea on first and then got busy on making the sandwiches. She layered everything neatly and cut into two halves. She carried two plates out to where Hatter was sitting and she stumbled slightly but caught herself thankfully. "Here are the sandwiches." She said and then went back to get the tea and brought him and herself out a cup. "I hope it's good." She commented as she sat down.

"Thank you" he said and looked at the sandwich, it did look really good and he was hungry. He though took a sip of his tea first. That always made him feel better and then he picked up his sandwich and took a bit. It was wonderful, he never would have thought of making a sandwich that tasted like this. "This is wonderful. Thank you so much Isabella for making lunch" He said with a smile taking another bite of his sandwich "Where did you learn to make such wonderful food" he said with a smile sipping at his tea.
