All Chapters of Love's Redemption: A Second Chance Affair: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The next day, even before the sun came out, Vivienne had gotten up. It wasn't surprising though considering she never seemed to have a peaceful sleep and often woke up after a couple of hours. But the surprising thing was that last night despite the inexplicable excitement bubbling in her heart, she didn't toss and turn for hours and even was able to go to sleep without any dreams the whole night. But still, she woke up before the break of dawn looking energetic and refreshed.Vivienne had only slept for over five hours but this seemed to be one of the most peaceful nights of sleep in recent years. Before this, the night where she was able to sleep without any dreams and disturbance was when she slept with Noah on that fateful night. Actually, Vivienne knew what this anticipation and excitement in her heart was. Wasn't it all because she had a date with Noah today? How could she not understand it? She was just refusing to acknowledge her own feelings.Looking in the mirror, Vivienne

"Your chariot awaits, madam!" Noah chuckled and playfully offered his arm to Vivienne in an exaggerated manner which earned him an eye roll from the latter. "You are really... something," Vivienne couldn't even find the right words to describe his behavior. He was trying hard to hide his grin but it was too obvious to ignore as well. Vivienne didn't understand where his excitement was coming from. As they drove through the early morning streets of LA, the city was still half-asleep, Noah kept the destination a secret. Vivienne, curious as ever, tried to pry it out of him, but Noah was steadfast in his refusal to spoil the surprise.Twenty minutes later, they pulled up to a beach. The sky was still tinged with the pinks and purples of dawn, the air crisp with the scent of saltwater. The waves gently lapped at the shore, promising a perfect day for surfing."Surfing?" Vivienne asked, raising an eyebrow as she turned to look at Noah."Surfing!" Noah confirmed as his grin widened. "Thou

Vivienne did not refute his words as she had been pondering over his attention and enthusiasm toward her. She was really unused to such attention and it made her not eager but rather fearful of it. She did not want to be too hopeful as you'd never know when these hopes would come crashing down and she might not even be able to bear the weight of these crushed hopes.Noah placed his hand over hers on the table and said, "You are too insecure about yourself, Vivienne. Shouldn't you become confident in yourself?""I have confidence in myself," answered Vivienne to him. "But when it comes to you, I begin to question a lot of things. You should understand that I have very special feelings for you. These feelings don't allow me to be confident in front of you. You weren't interested in me years ago, then I can't understand why you'd be interested in me now.""I was blind once," he replied without any hesitation. "No, I wasn't blind. If I was, I wouldn't befriend you. It's more like since yo

As the sky turned from orange to deep purple, Noah felt a sense of contentment wash over him. The day had been perfect—everything he had hoped for and more. But it wasn't just the activities or the locations that made it special; it was Vivienne. Her presence, her laughter, the way she looked at him—it all felt right.Finally, they made their way to the last stop of the day: a secluded beach. Noah had arranged for a small bonfire to be set up, with blankets and pillows strewn around for comfort. They sat by the fire, the sound of the waves gently lapping at the shore, the stars twinkling above them.Vivienne actually burst out laughing when she saw this scene and couldn't help saying, "Noah Sullivan, who did you learn from to plan a date?"Noah scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "I might have taken a page out of my parents' first date."Vivienne touched his fluffy hair and ruffled them making Noah stand there dumbstruck in surprise. "You love the sense of ceremony in everythin

Vivienne's belly quivered under his intense gaze. That god-damned mesmerizing smile of Noah's was doing things to her. Feeling the urge to do something, Vivienne moved her hands and fingers across his broad shoulders, pressing firmly and sensually making Noah groan long and low. Her fingers seemed skilled as they worked their magic."You like that?" she asked softly, as her fingers slowly slipped under his shirt to rub her hands on his naked chest. "Do you want me to give you a massage?"Noah chuckled lowly as he pulled her up and made her sit in his lap, one hand cradling her butt. She trailed her hands on his toned chest, meeting his eyes. The beautiful blue in his eyes gleamed in the dim lighting."I'd give it a try some other day," answered Noah. "Currently, your hands are only lighting up a fire in my body that only you can fix now."Gazing at Noah, in his strong and dependable arms, Vivienne felt her resolve strengthening. She raised her hand to brush back his hair. "Kiss me," s
