The plan was simple. I would stay with Noah for a few days while I looked for a place of my own and I would send whatever money I had left back to Hayden while I thought of ways on how to pay the reminder. There had to be some sort of leniency, as he maybe was tired of me? That was what I thought even though it tore my heart.But so far, I had done nothing. It had now been over three weeks and I still hadn’t done any of those things I had promised. I felt pathetic and I hated it. He still hadn’t called me. Had he not noticed that I was gone?&lsq
Flush! The water tank in the stall next to me ran, followed by the stall opening as the temporary owner left to go wash their hands and at last, I was alone. The crickets in the hallway told me that the majority of the school population had now left for their homes or whatever businesses they had on a Monday evening. “Hopefully he had too” I inwardly prayed as I took a deep breath in before letting myself out of the toilet stall that I had HOARDED! For the past one hour. Just as I had calculated, the school was nearly empty. Releasing a sigh of relief, I quickened my pace heading for the bus stop, carefully threading away from the parking lot as Noah was known to be waiting for me there. He had been doing that for the past week hoping to get to talk to me. I knew he was concerned. I could see it in his eyes. He was desperate to talk to me, but I just, wasn’t ready. Hopefully by using this way, I could kill two birds with one stone. Hayden’s men. Sometime in the past week, I had no
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.
