WHAT! I quickly pulled away from his embrace. “Noah, what the hell are you talking about?” To say that my whole body was on red alert would be an understatement. “Listen,” he began. “I know this is not the right time to state this, but you just have to trust me.” He was pleading. “Noah,” I trailed, not sure on how to place my words “I am busy, c-can we... can we talk about this later? I need to get back to work.” “But there is no one here!” he claimed. Like a deer caught in a red light, I froze. Both from embarrassment and awkwardness. Where were the customers when you needed them! “Umm Noah, I really need to get back to working” “Fine...” he said after a while. But if you want to hear me out, just give me a call. And please, just trust me. Just this once.” He gave me a longing stare before he unwillingly got out. ₊˚⊹♡ The noise had died down a bit in the living room which I thankful for, as my grumbling stomach could not take it much longer. Quietly getting out of bed, I tip
“Lillie, can we talk later. I am really late for class! I tried to reason with the blonde girl trying on the dresses. Her wedding dresses. “Yeah, yeah! You have been saying that for the past hour, yet I don’t see you getting your ass off the bed. Wait, doesn’t this dress make my butt look small? I think I need to buy another one.” She continued. “Lillie, the dress looks fine and am serious this time, I really need to start getting ready.” I gritted my teeth. “I am hanging up now” I continued, showing her how serious I was. “Noooo, noo, you still haven’t told me which one would look best on me! You know I have to be the best dressed at the wedding since he is my fat-” I disconnected from the video call, hoping that she would buy my bad phone reception excuse I had been using recently. Looks, like time was not on my side today. I noted as I quickly leaped into the shower. ₊˚⊹♡ My dilly dallying had finally caught up to me. I had a class which was currently forty minutes in and me
Monica’s P.O.V“Happy!” Hayden grumbled, not on parr with what I had justput him through. He was back to his stoic demeanor, gone was the longing and intense gaze in his eyes. He just wanted to be absent of my presence.“Very!” I pushed at him. “That was very intense, tesoro.” “Did you im
Bambi's P.O.V“So why did you call me here, Noah asked. We were currently seated at his friend's restaurant. The moonlight shining bright upon us. It was not as busy as it usually was, giving us ample space and time to talk. His friend had already brought us our order. Meaning I could no longer delay what I called him for. I hesitantly looked at him, trying so hard not to let my eyes fall. “Noah, about your proposal” I swallowed a huge lump that was clogging my throat, bracing myself for what I was about to do. “I accept!” “Wait! What did you just say!” He asked in disbelief. A smile threatening to fill out his cheeks. Smiling nervously, I repeated my answer. “Yes, I accept to be your girlfriend!” Out of all outcomes I was expecting, none of them were of Noah jumping from his seat and hugging me. I was perplexed. But since I did not want him to feel embarrassed, I awkwardly hugged him back. “I am so glad you accepted,” He whispered to me. All I could do was just awkwardly nod. “
“I am so glad you agreed to come with my son for my birthday!” Tammy, Noah’s mother or as I had been introduced to her, said. Her eyes were glistened with moisture, as she helped me with the tray dish I was holding, putting it away before replacing it with her hands as she held me lovingly. It was just the two of us in the cozy kitchen. The rest of the family were busy having fun as they danced the night away. “You know, he does talk a lot about you. Every time he calls, it is just you, you and You! No chance to ask about mama.” She giggled, wholeheartedly as she tried to shake the tears away. I let out a shaky laugh, not sure on what to say after that revelation. “You make him so happy. I love the glow I have seen on him today, and I would be so blessed to call you my daughter in law someday.” She burst out crying, clinging on to me to hide away her tears. “He has been through a lot! You know and am just so glad someone out there is making him happy!” The tears cascaded down her
A glimmer of hope flashed through his eyes, before fluttering them close and shaking his head. “Bambi, you are completely out of it. You need to get back to bed and sleep. I will bring you some water.” He said making out to leave, but before he could go, I grabbed him. “I am very serious Noah, and I am not drunk. See!” I leaped on the bed, my wiggly form making it hard for me to stand up straight. “Yeah right, and I am good at parkour!” He joked “Noah, I need you to be serious with me, I am not joking with you right now!” His face softened, as he caressed my cheeks softly. “Bambi, how about we talk about this tomorrow, when you are okay and SOBER!” I huffed in frustration, stomping my feet like a kid which resulted in me losing my balance completely and falling on my face. But I was quick to get myself straight and face him head on. “You really don’t believe me, do you?” I whispered, my eyes watering. No, I was done crying for the day. Wiping away the fallen waters, I continued.
The soft patters of raindrops cascading down the windowpanes pulled my consciousness away from the depths of sleep. My first reaction being to grab the blankets that I could feel tangled and intertwined with my legs, to shield me from the chilling cold and boy was it freezing! I angrily moaned to myself, cursing my short arms for not reaching the blankets sooner. Reluctantly, my eyes fluttered open when I could not feel the soft blankets onto my hands. A scowl formed on my face, when I realised that the bits of my beauty sleep would get wiped away by the cold. Trying to save the last remaining bits of sleep and savour the cold weather, I quickly huddled the blanket over my head, turning around the bed to find a cozy position, that would allow me to finally drift off to la la land. My body stiffened in alert as I came into contact with what seemed to be a warm body. ‘What was that!’ I asked my inner conscious; afraid it would be something I would not like. Hesitantly, my eyes flatt
Months had passed ever since Noah, and I made it ‘official’. And to be honest, it wasn’t quite bad. In a way, I had gotten used to it. Noah was lovely, too lovely and I truly didn’t deserve him. His home had become mine; an allegiance had formed between his family and me. It had become a daily occurrence for us to visit Tammy and the gang, at least twice a month. Just never thought I would look forward to those trips as much as I did, well except the drinking parties that took place after the kids went to sleep, I had vowed to myself to steer clear from those! I had come to terms with the fact that sometimes, life was not always a smooth road. What we wished to have may not always come through. This was settled when I noticed that the house was wiped clean of Hayden’s presence. His belongings, his presence all gone without a single word. Monica too, was nowhere to be seen. Looks like he had finally gotten over me. Huh! I laughed at that memory, the pain that I had felt in my chest t
