Chapter 197 - Caught But Not Caught

We were running out of breath as we pulled away with each other. I blushed when I realized that I became so addicted that I didn't want to let go of it. I bit my lower lip and cleared my throat.

I almost got melted when his thick gazes locked onto me. Those simple gestures of him makes my legs shake from where I'm standing. He has that kind of effect on my and damn, It's betraying me.

"Are you sure about it?" His brows furrowed, talking about my decision but his eyes were pierced on my lips.

Damn it, Noah.

"I wanted to have some experience and it's a great opportunity," I nodded.

I thought about it how many times and I admit that it's not really easy to decide on my own.. I will also build my own path with it, and I'll really have to make an effort to become better on that field.

Web designing were in demand in this world at this age. I should consider the benefits that I would gain as soon as I master this work. I really need to make an effort.

I can't help but to feel jealous of my friends before, because I realized how lucky they're for graduating and having a job that suits them and aligned with what they want and what they dream..

"Okay, I trust in you." He smiles and pulled my wrist.

We fell off the couch and now we're already facing each other. My head on his arm, while his right hand placed on my waist. I can feel the sensation that causes me to stunned in front of the person I love.

"I wanted to cuddle with you like this, but I didn't had the chance..." He bit his lower lip. "I didn't know that this feels actually good... I can smell your perfume here too.."

His wide smirked made my face heated. How can be so hot but at the same time so freakin' gorgeous? I almost fell to the ground when he stared at me.

"Still had that kind of reaction, huh?" He even come closer. I gasped when I felt his breath poking my face right now.

"Sorry for only fighting.." He kissed my nose. I didn't get what he's talking about at first. "I just did what you said to me.. You know how much I love you, that I'll do everything just to make you feel better.."

I didn't say anything. I have a mistake too but he's only admitting it. He's a selfless person, he'll put others first before himself. It's not good but it makes my heart flutter at the same time.

"It's not really your fault, Noah.. I was the one who didn't trust you enough. I'm sorry.." I was too broken before that I blamed him alone. That while I'm finding every piece of me, I love the one I treasured so much...and that's him..

"But you suffered with your own belief that's not even true baby... I know it's been for you too and I can't really hate you no matter what I do,"

"You're right, but look at me now. I'm pretty fine.." I sighed.

He chuckled and ruffled my hair while looking at me. I swallowed hard for that. I know that he's been worried all along but I'm fine. I can always manage my problems..

"What are your plans, then?" He asked, kissing the back of my hand.

"Pierre says that I should start next week. It's pretty much near now," I said, happily.

I'm really excited that I always think about it. Finally, I could be work with the degree that I finished. I was so proud of myself.

"It's Friday baby.. You should prepare for it soon," I can feel his happiness on his tone. I know he's proud of me. He's happy with what I accomplished all those years.

"Actually, I'm quite nervous," I giggled. "But that doesn't change the feeling that I'm experiencing right now. Because finally!"

"I know," He chuckled and hugged me. "I'm also happy that you're happy. That you're starting to make your dreams come true.."

"I've been dying to reach this, Noah. And one of my motivations was you and my friends.. I wanted to make you guys proud of me," I bit my lower lip. I know I shouldn't be cheesy but, it's naturally came out in me.

That I wanted to express how grateful I am that I have them in my life. That I'm always be thankful that despite of my imperfections, there's still some people who choose to stay in my life. And Noah's the greatest sample of that.

"I'm in love with you.." He whispered, looking at my eyes intensely.

"I'm in love with you too..."

I kissed his lips for the last time before saying my goodbye to him. I need to go now, not because it's getting late. But because, my friends texted on our group chat that we will be having our night out for the first time in those past months again..

I can't missed it. I've been dying to do it again before but now that we're finally decided to do it, I'll make sure to go for it.

I also let Noah know about it, not to become a clingy girlfriend but to remind him that I'm going out with my friends. That whenever he wants to see me, he won't be able to since I'm out having good time with my friends..

I can't really hide my excitement since it's really the first time again. I wanted to dress nicely but I think I don't have that much time. They're already waiting for me, I received a message from Gia earlier. And I'm currently on the way to my destination.

Before I could reached the parking lot, a memory of Noah suddenly popped up inside my head. My face heated when I remembered his last words, damn it.

"You're mine tomorrow, baby.." He whispered and bit my right ear gently..

Shit.

I immediately shook my head to return to reality. I might get into an accident if I still think about it. Noah's really kind of a big distraction to my system. My heart won't stop beating so fast, thinking about him.

The way were a bit tough since there are a lot of cars going through the other way, so I really had to wait on the other way. I checked the time, and it's still not that long since they messaged me. I can still make it.

I immediately moved my car through the entrance of parking once the traffic gets arranged. I didn't have my much that time to check myself at the mirror as soon as I get there because I'm really running out of time.

Those bitches were kind of impatient, so I really had to make it fast.

Running and walking, those things that I'm doing right now makes me feel out of breath. I should've just walk alone. There's no need to rush.

"Finally!" Sam announced happily as soon as I come through them.

I saw Gia sitting on the other chair while her brows furrowing on the screen of her phone. I didn't mind her though, instead I just exchanged a hug with Sam who looked so happy like we have just met.

"Jessy's inside, ordering some canned beers and some fried chicken. Didn't know that they also offered it here," she shrugged and took a bit on her fries.

"Pretty much like her.." I laughed.

I remembered how Jessy acts as our big sister. She always take care of everything since day one. And when it comes to this, she wouldn't let us do what she usually do. Serving us alone.

She's a bit bold and carefree, but we all know how loving girl she is.. She's kind of a sweet friend that is willing to take care of everything just to make us feel comfortable.

"Hey, are you okay?" Sam asked to Gia who looked so startled right now.

"O-of course.." She stuttered which made her looked so suspicious right now.

I didn't know much about what he's up to right now, but I'm really worried about her. Is it still because of that Attorney?

I hope it's not.

"You looked pale, are you sick?" I asked, getting worried.

Not like us that's really transparent, Gia's more secretive especially with her feelings. We may not noticed her emotions, but we can still see with her physical reaction. She's not okay, I'm sure..

"We're worried, Gi.. Come on," I even held her hand to make her feel that we're here but she just shook her head and tried to smile.

Disappointment runs through me as I realized that she doesn't want to talk about it. She's always been like this, and seriously it's making me feel anxious for the fact that she's holding it for herself. And that she's bearing her problems alone..

"Don't worry about me. Just worry for yourself if Jessy arrives and see those smudge lipstick around your lips.." She looked away, obviously feel like laughing.

Damn it.

I immediately took out my phone to see my face. Oh my god. Sam was also laughing now while looking at me face. And the smirk on Gia's face remained the same which made me feel more embarrassed.

I blushed when I saw my lipbalm on the side of my lips, obviously got ravished by someone. I repeatedly cursed inside my head while trying to erase it. Jessy can't see this, because I'm sure she's going to tease me about it!

"You kissed..." Sam smirked. Her words were not a question but a statement. It's a fact for her.

"I didn't know that Noah kissed that hard, Raine.." Gia chuckled which made my whole face covered with blood.

Oh my god.

"Tell us..." Sam caught my face and I just can't help but to pout. "Was he a good kisser?"

I swallowed hard with her question. In my head, I was refusing to answer it for how many times. I am too shy to admit it, god!

"You should tell us or else we're going to tell Jessy..." Gia threatened while looking at Jessy who just got out of the store. Shit.

"What?" Sam mouthed.

"Oh god." I closed my eyes and forced to nod at them. I bit my lower lip as I hear their giggles.

I can't believed this!
