Chapter 71 - Decision

My friends left a few minutes ago and here I am standing in front of this gorgeous man. My hands are cold and my heart was beating so really really fast!

It was quite hard to bear this words inside my head and I think I really need to spill it out to him. I already have my decision and this is the best time to say it to him.

He's not drunk right?

His face was slightly red but I think he's already sober.

"Gotta say what's on your mind young lady?" He smirked.

I swallowed as I feel his deep stares on me.

"I'll wait for you in the car, bro. Raine, thanks for the good time!" Vin waved his hand while walking towards their car.

"No problem," I nodded.

I turn my eyes at Noah who's still looking at me with those pale charcoal eyes of him. He somehow looked like an Asian guy but he still more looked like an American.

That shouldn't be my problem now, how do I open up it to him?

"Stop staring baby, speak," He muttered.

I bit my lip. He's the one who can't take his stares off of me. Stupid.

"D-do you remember what I promised before I went to my hometown?" I asked in nervousness.

He arch a brow. He looked so confused, damn it!

"You asked me that again earlier, baby,"

"But you still haven't answered it, damn it!" I don't know if he's really pretending to forget about it or he's just stupid.

He smirked and held my hand. I was a bit startled to what he did but I immediately move on from it.

"You hand's cold," He says so I pulled my hand from his grip.

"This is not the right time to flirt, Noah,"

I rolled my eyes and I heard his chuckles.

"Do you call this flirting, baby?" He smirked.

I want to smack his head again to make him sober right away. I really hate it when someone's mocking me.

"Stop being a jerk and answer my goddman question!"

"Oh. Easy baby.." He laughs so I hit his arm.

He just let out some devilish laughs. Ugh! He's back on being a stupid jerk again. I don't know how to handle this again, maybe I already forgot about it!

I crossed my arms and glared at him. I won't talk unless he'll answer my question. That's what I need right now.

The night was getting colder and my body's a bit shaking from cold now. We should've just talked inside our apartment and not here.

"You're cold?" He asked.

I quickly shook my head and smiles.

"I'm fine,"

He looked around and when his eyes turn to his car, he glanced at me. "Wait here, I'll get you something,"

Then he starts to run towards his car and when he came back a soft and thick coat was already on his hands. He went closer and wrapped it around me.

He's really nice but I hate how he acts so stupid sometimes.

"There, pretty.." He smiles. "Are you still cold?"

I immediately shook my head. "Not anymore.. T-thanks!"

He smirked. "Anything, baby,"

I blushed and looked away. I shouldn't feel this way right now. I need to know his answer..

"So..about my question.." I asked.

He nodded, "Is it about you going to school again or not?"

My face darkened, he clearly remembered it but he pretends not to know it. But why?

"So you remembered it?" I asked sarcastically.

He chuckled and nods. Ugh! I hate him! I looked like a fucking dumbass earlier!

"I'm just teasing you, baby," He leaned towards me so I stepped back avoiding his physical contact.

"Stop teasing me!"

"I'm not teasing you," he acts innocent.

"Fuck! Then don't go near me and asked what's on your mind!"

I want to know his question inside his head. I want him to ask what's my decision!

He was startled by my sudden reaction but I know he'll get over it since he know me well.

"You're scary, baby!" He chuckled and patted my head.

I rolled my eyes. He's too slow! I want to sleep now!

"Then what's your decision?" Now his voice softened.

My heart suddenly beats fast. I know once I've said it, there's no turning back. I know he'll be happy if he finds out.

I looked down and played with my fingers. Damn it!

"I decided to go back to school this coming summer, I'll enroll after school break," I bit my lip.

"That's a good choice, baby. I'll support you with your decision!" He sounds glad and it just made me feel better.

I looked up to face him and I'm surprised how happy he was right now. The spark in his eyes were enough proof to describe how happy he was for me.

"I hope you're also happy with your decision.." He smiles.

"Of course, I am,"

I heard a loud beep from the car and saw Vin pressing it inside the car. Noah groaned and his two brows furrowed as he glanced at his annoying brother.

"That fucker is so fucking impatient!"

I laugh and his eyes turn to me.

"So, I guess we'll just talk about it tomorrow?" He asked. The embarrassment was clearly written on his face.

"Uh, yeah," I nodded.

"Good night," I'm surprised when he hugged me tight.

I stiffed. He smells good.

"What's with the hug?" I chuckled.

He let go of me and pouts. Noah's not like this before. He always tease me and mocked me, but now he's really sweet and caring.

"That's for being a jerk earlier. Sorry for acting like I forget about it,"

He looked terrible so I just laugh to make him feel better.

"That's fine. I know you're a jerk," I smirked.

He acted to hold his heart and looked hurt. "Ouch, baby!"

I shook my head and bit my lip to prevent from smiling widely. He looked so stupid acting it.

I'm surprised again when he kissed my forehead. I quickly patted his arm.

"What?" He asked innocently.

My brows furrowed and looked around.

"What if someone sees us?" I feel bothered.

"So? You're mine, anyway," He shrugged.

"We're not dating," I smirked and his face darkened.

"This brat--"

"Okay, I'll go sleep now. See you tomorrow!" I cut him.

He chuckled when he saw how I badly want to go inside now. He nodded and patted my head.

"I'll go now. Sleep tight, baby," he smiles.

"You too, be careful on driving," I bit my lip.

Stop being so cheesy, Raine! Goddamn it, you're disgusting!

"Go, I'll watch you and then I'll leave after that," He says and looked at the entrance.

I shook my head, "Nah. You go first,"

He shook his head too and held my hand. He send me inside and winked.

"Go to bed and rest. I'll see you tomorrow, I'll text you when I get home," I nodded and he left.

When the morning comes, I immediately went inside my bathroom and brushed my teeth. I waited for Noah's text last night and he actually texted me right after he went home.

Well, I really had a good sleep after that. I haven't slept properly when I'm still in our house but now, this feels great. Sleeping is nice.

I washed my face and put my hair on a messy bun. I'm only wearing my pajamas and a white cotton shirt. When I get outside, everything brings back to what it used to be.

The girls are already out and the whole living room was messy. I rolled my eyes and clean it. The sweat on my neck and temple was now slowly falling down on my body so I immediately wiped it with a towel.

Ugh! I hate sweating!

Sweating makes my body feel sticky and I feel uncomfortable for having a sweat on my body. I feel dirty and smell bad.

Well, that true though. Sweating really makes a person smell weird.

After cleaning I immediately went to the bathroom and bathe. I used my lavender scent of my shower gel and quickly washed my body. I love bathing, it gives me time to think about everything.

When I'm finished, I brewed some black coffee on the kitchen and toast some butter bread. I'm still wearing my pink robe, I eat on the table while surfing on my phone.

This is the first time that I eat breakfast alone here and it feels okay. It's quiet and peaceful.

I have a work today and I can't be late so I woke up really early. I can't make Noah wait for me for a long time, so I immediately eat everything and changed.

I brushed my teeth again after that when I'm done changing, a loud ring from my phone caught my attention. When I turn to looked at it, it was Noah.

I'm still applying some light make up on my face, so I just answered it and opened the damn speaker.

"I'm outside of your unit, please kindly open the door," He says and ended the call.

My eyes widened. What a rude brat!

I immediately opened the door and surprised when he's holding a bouquet of flowers and a human size teady bear.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!

He smiles and gave it to me. My mouth parted to what he did and I don't know what to feel since this is the first time that he gave me this kind of gift!

IS THIS REAL?
