Chapter 127 - Flirt

"I'm so happy to be here tonight and it was a pleasure to have everyone in this simple event."

Noah was smiling while speaking in front. He's been standing there for about 5 minutes and his speech was kind of entertaining really.

"I wanted to thank Mr. Lancaster, the principal of this school for inviting me here and for all the faculties. It's such a great honor to speak in front of you right now and I hope you'll be able to enjoy this reunion!" He smiles and glanced at the emcee.

They talked about something first and after that, Noah glanced at the audience like he's finding someone. And when our eyes met, he just gave me a 'let's talk' look.

Well, we really need to talk about this.

"Okay.. So, thank for your wonderful speech Mr. Clark! And now, let's enjoy the night!" The emcee announces but my eyes was fixed on Noah.

He's walking towards the exit area wearing his black blazer. I'm so thankful that the guy who supposed to introduce himself earlier was being dragged by his friends once Noah appeared on the stage, so we didn't had the chance to talk. It's still a good thing though. It would be less trouble.

"I think Noah will go here, girl!" Sam whispered and giggled.

"And I think you have a lot to explain to me later," I glared at her and stood up.

I needed to talk to him too. I was dumbfounded about this. I wanted to ask him why the hell is he here? And did I heard it right? That he graduated here?!

What the..

My heart was pounding so very fast as I took some steps towards his direction. And it doubled as soon as I laid my eyes on him. He face was just serious while his both hands were in his pockets.

He's kind looked different tonight and I can't figure it out how he became like that.

He also fixed his eyes on me while straightly walked towards my direction. And when we're already close to each other, I stopped on my last step and wait for him to come.

"Let's go," he muttered once he stopped in front of me. He offered his arm so I had to take it.

"Where are we going? The party will start now." I asked but he just walked like he didn't hear me.

I pouted like a kid and just walked with him. He seemed cold right now, I didn't know why. We're both dumbfounded about it, I can't seem to find the reason why he's like this to me. He shouldn't act cold.

He guided me outside of the gymnasium and headed towards the parking lot. Oh god, don't tell me we're going home now?

"Hey," I called. "Where are we really going?"

I wanted to know now, because I didn't want to be surprised. I would gladly come to him if he wanted to go home now, but I needed to tell it to my friends. I didn't want them to worry.

"Get in." He ordered.

I stared at him but he's not looking at me. I wanted to ask him now but I think, he will be mad If I talk so I just followed his order.

This rude brat.

I clenched my teeth as soon as I sat inside the shotgun seat. He stayed outside for a few minutes and after that he also came inside. I thought he would make me wait forever here.

Gosh!

"Why are you here?" I asked that as soon as he sat on the driver's seat.

His brows furrowed, giving me a dangerous look. I really wanted to ask him that for awhile now and this time I finally asked him.

"Shouldn't you be the one that I'm asking right now?" He arched a brow. He's a bit sarcastic with his tone which made me furious.

"What?! Am I the only one who needs to explain now?" I gripped the hem of my dress in so much anticipation to pinch him.

"I didn't say that. I just wanted you to know that we both need to--"

"That's why I'm asking you first!" I scowled.

"Okay, okay! Just don't shout." His face darkened and he immediately looked away.

I can see the anger in his eyes but I know that he's just suppressing it. He doesn't want to fight with me, I can't sense it.

"Are you angry? And you still had the audacity to be mad at me! Do you know how it made me feel like a fool when I saw you standing there?!"

"I'm not angry." He simply answered.

"But I can see it in your eyes! Don't fucking deny it, Noah! You're furious about this, why don't you let it out huh? Are you making me feel bad because I was the only one who's angry right now?!" I shouted. God! I felt irritated with his facial expression! If he's mad then he must show it!

I hate being tolerate like this!

"I'm not angry, Raine. I'm just pissed, because you didn't told me about this." He answered with those cold eyes.

"And now you're cold!" I hissed.

"Fuck! Would you please calm down first?!" He looked pissed now.

"Then, tell me about it!"

I glared at him and focused on the window behind him. It's so annoying that he's being cold when we both need an explanation!

"I was calling you for how many times, baby." He sighed.

"I know," I bit my lower lip.

"And you didn't answer it? Did you mean it?!" His voice raised.

"No, of course not!" I immediately answered. "I just had this situation.."

"What situation?"

Should I tell him that my friends knew that he's our special guest so they took my phone from me?

What should I say?

"My friends took my phone," I don't have a choice but to say it.

"Why? You could've say that you're expecting a message from me."

Confusion flushed through his face. I can't blame him though, he's also clueless about this.

"My friends knew that you're our special guest tonight so they really mean to take it until we finally meet here," I didn't know but I feel a bit sorry for my girls. I just involved them with my situation.

"What?!" His face looked shocked knowing about it.

"Yeah. That's why I couldn't contact you. S-sorry.." I feel like I'm responsible for it too.

I heard his heavy released. I know he felt betrayed and I somehow understand that.

"I was calling, because I wanted to inform you about this. I even went to your unit but your landlord said that you went outside with your friends.." He chuckled like he find it funny.

"We went on a trip and come here.."

Damn. I feel so guilty. It's my fault.

"And I'm thankful that you're safe.." He went closer to kiss my forehead.

My heart suddenly melted with that. Now, that I know what really happened. It gave me a relief inside. I was relieved that everything's clear now.

I smiled at him and pinched his cheeks. I was afraid earlier that we might part having some misunderstanding. I won't ever feel good about that. I might not sleep after that.

But I suddenly remembered that thing that also gave me a confusion earlier.

I looked at him and find some answer in his eyes but I couldn't. Maybe I should really ask him.

"Do you want to ask something?" He gave me a questioning look.

I nodded and bit my lower lip. I'm really curious about it. Like how? How did he studied here?

"You studied..h-here?" I looked deeper in his eyes, still waiting for his answer.

But it's fine if he doesn't want to explain it. It's beyond his limits, he doesn't have to say every single detail about him. I'm still happy with the things I know about him. Noah's 2 years ahead from me so he graduated before me.

"Yeah. That's right baby," he nodded and smiles sweetly.

He caressed my hair like it's not a big deal to him if I'm asking about it. He doesn't seem like he wants to hide it too, so it's a good thing.

"Why you didn't tell me?" I asked.

Of course, you don't have to know!

"I just thought that it's not necessary anymore.."

Well. He's right. Why would he mentioned it out of nowhere? I would also prefer not to say it, if I were him.

"Are you mad?" I asked. I felt a bit bothered with his cold expression earlier. I didn't like it.

But now, he laughed like I said something funny. He caressed my hair and pulled my hand with him.

"I'm not. Why are you so stubborn, huh?" He reached for my chin and gently pull it up.

I blushed when he went closer to see my reaction. Damn it.

"Y-you're so c-close! M-move your f-face away!" I hissed.

I'm afraid that he might hear the loud pound inside my chest right now. His presence affects every inch of my body and I don't know how to stop it.

"Why? Do I make you blush right now, baby?" He asked playfully.

Damn it, Noah.

But this stubborn man didn't follow what I've said, and instead he just went closer and was about to kiss me. Oh God.

I rolled my eyes and push his face so I could get away from him. I laughed when I heard his groan as soon as I stepped out of his car.

He's too full of himself that I can't resist him.

But damn, I almost ask him to kiss me! You're such a flirt, Raine!
