Chapter 191 - Grumpy But Caring

"You seemed preoccupied. Are you bothered on something?" Noah glanced at me and even if he doesn't say, I know he's worried..

I tried my best to smile at him even though I wasn't that fine. It's still raw for me to forget about it, Jacob has been part of my life. He's also special to me.

Noah pouted and took my hand. He kissed my fingers before giving me a weakling smile. He made my heart thump so fast and my legs started to shake in nervousness. Damn it.

"Mind if I ask what did you two talk about last night?"

He slowed down the car to give me a time to process it.. I was hesitating If I should say it or not. It's about me and Jacob, we should deal with it and Noah will only worry about me once I say it to him.

But I can't say no to him. He's also a trusted person, but maybe he still had to know so he wouldn't think about the matter. I didn't want to confuse him.

I released a heavy breath before speaking, "I told him to s-stop.."

"Stop what?"

I can sense a curiosity in his tone. And even if he doesn't look at me, I can feel his furrowing brows right now..

"He was courting me, Noah.." I bit my lower lip. I didn't want to tell him but we're already here. I'm not going to back out now.

I saw how he clenched his jaw and tightened the grip on the steering wheel. His muscles were shouting in behind those clothes in him. I swallowed hard for how many times before meeting his dangerous gaze.

"T-that was because I wanted to love someone else a-again, N-noah.." I stuttered, I can't even breathe normally with the way he looked at me.

He seemed like he's going to kill someone.

"You dared to give him a chance, Raine but you didn't even thought that I might be waiting for you?" Pain reflected on his voice. The rage in his eyes was so visible that I can't even dare to say something that can make him mad.

"But I still can't give my heart to him, no matter how I wanted to love him back... I just c-can't.." I shook my head and I almost cried in surprised when he suddenly pulled the break!

"You freak! Are you crazy--"

My eyes widened when he kissed me! It was rough at first, I can feel his anger but when he realized that he's hurting me the roughness of it replaced with a passionate one.

I closed my eyes as he pulled me more to him, kissing me with so much love and respect. His hands travels down my neck down to my arms through my stomach.. I gasped when I felt his hand on my waist, pulling me and deepening the kiss! Goddamn it! It feels so good. I feel like I was lost in euphoria..

I missed him.. I miss his touch and kisses.. Everything about him..

We were running out of breath when we pulled away. But his hands were still on the same position. Our lips were still touched together while our eyes were talking silently.

"You're mine, Raine.." He stared at my lips again and before I could talk, he immediately ravished my lips with his again.

I don't know but, there's something in his kiss that changed.. I mean, it's still soft and tempting but I felt something that made me feel how much he wants me. How much he missed me..

We were both panting when we ended the kiss. The look in his eyes made me go crazy inside. He's so damn gorgeous that I can't even breathe properly as close like this to him!

Damn it, Noah.

"You made the right decision. You don't love him and you don't even looked good--"

"NOAH!" I glared at him.

"What? It's his fucking fault for not capturing your heart. Can't you see that, Raine? He was with you all those years while I'm away from you. But what happened? Your heart's still into me.. That you're going crazy not getting back to me.." He smirked. How boastful!

"Really? That's how you think all those years?" I sarcastically said. "Well, you're wrong.. I did like him but--"

"What?!" His jaw moved aggressively, clenching it again while his face were so red. A sign that he's fuming mad.

But I just rolled my eyes and stared at the clear sky right now. I can't believed it's been years since I experienced this..

"You have to answer me, Raine. You said you like him, is that true?"

I know he's pissed, but what can I do? I can't even fool myself nor him, because I really did like Jacob. He's a nice person and there's no reason for me not to like him.

Noah gasped in impatience, he's really mad.. I just nodded and bit my lower lip. This is part of everything. I can't just hide this forever, Jacob worth being loved too.

"Goddamn it, Raine!"

He turned on the engine and I was surprised when he drove faster that I ever imagined! I keep cursing inside my head when he tried to overtake those big cars ahead of us and I was already pale when we reached our destination..

I didn't know that he's like that when he gets mad. I haven't seen this side of him and I'm surprised. I still have a lot to know more about him.

"We're here.." His voice were cold as ice when we stopped at the parking lot.

He immediately got off the car and even if he looked pissed. He still managed to open the door for me. I smiled secretly before getting off the car.

"Wear this. The sun was rise, you'll get irritated by it.." He said without looking at me.

I just pouted and took the sunglasses from him. I'll just try to make up with him later, I know he's still pissed. He wouldn't even listen to me no matter how I tried to explain it to him.

He didn't wait for me, instead he just walked first not minding if he's with me or not. I secretly glared at him when he turned his back at me. He shouldn't brought me here if he's just going to be this grumpy asshole.

But my irritation faded when I realized where we are! Oh my god.

I looked around and confirmed! We're at the beach near his shop. Ci didn't noticed it first because the place looked so different now. I also blushed when I remember our first kiss in this place.

It's also funny that he's drunk before. I chuckled to my own mind while reminiscing the past. He's so stupid and cocky before but it has changed..

"Let's go to the cottage. We'll have to prepare and eat our lunch later.." I didn't even felt his presence, because I'm in an awe of the place.

He approached me while still wearing his irritated look. "The sun was pissing me more, let's go."

"Then, why did you bring me here?" I arched a brow.

He hates sun but he wants to go here? What the hell, Noah.

"Because I want you to breathe and rest for just a few hours," He breathe out before pulling me out of there.

I was just preoccupied that time and I only got my senses together when the food was already serving in front of me. It's a relief that he even told me fix myself where I could be comfortable, so I just wore a simple white long dress while the strap was so thin. I also wore a bikini inside since Noah told me that after this, we will go to the lagoon through riding a boat!

I can't even name my excitement and I just felt so free and relaxed right now. It feels so good to be here actually.

"You like king crab?" He asked, offering me a crab flesh.

"Sure!" I smiled and took it from him.

"You should eat what you want, I'm not going to stop you.."

I was really happy when he said that, so I really eat what I like until I felt satisfied.. I was so full thanks to Noah.

"Careful.." He reminds as he guides me through the boat.

He's holding my right hand while he's other hand was ready to catch me if even I fall.. I bit my lower lip when I reached the top. Noah also came next, he's just quiet the whole time so I just tried my best to speak a lot without even stopping.

"We're here.." He announced and was about to go down when I immediately pulled him. "What?"

"You mean, we're already here?"

"You've been talking to much and you didn't even noticed the time, Raine. Let's go," he rolled his eyes before helping me to go down.

"Thank you." I said but he just nodded and walk away.

"Grumpy.." I giggled before chasing him.

We went to a place where there's a lot of tress stand by. I can't help but amazed by it's look. I even took out my phone and take some pictures of it. I even take a picture of Noah secretly while scanning the whole place. His angle were too perfect that I can stare at his picture overnight.

"We can swim here," he gestured the falls and I was the happiest when I saw a small lagoon beside it!

Oh my god.

"This is beautiful, Noah!" I giggled and walked closer to give him a kiss.

He was stunned for awhile and when I moved away, I saw how his face blushed with it.

How transparent of you, Noah.

I smirked and run towards the falls. I know it's warm so I don't feel scared of it. I didn't even waste any time, I immediately took off my dress revealing my black bikini.

I glanced at Noah first before diving the water. "B-be careful, R-raine.."

His eyes turned to my body and I saw how he clenched his jaw aggressively, not taking off his eyes at me.
