Chapter 201 - Promise Me?

"So, are you free this Saturday?" Noah asked.

We were eating on this fancy restaurant where we always go before. And as usual, Noah ordered some steaks for us, though I can't still be happy for it. There's a part of me that keeps bugging me about his trip. About him leaving the country.. Damn, I can't even focus right now.

"Raine?"

And there, I immediately looked up. "Yes?"

His face turned serious and worried. "Are you thinking about it? Do you want me to just stay here?"

"No, no. You can't do that Noah," I didn't want him to give everything just to make me happy. No. I can't do that to him.

"I can do it for you baby, of course.. You know how much I value you,"

"I know but, I didn't want you to do this." No matter how I want him to stay, I drag him down just because I'm sad. It's too selfish for me.

"What do you want me to do to make you happy, then?"

I can see the sincerity in his eyes and I can't help but to feel guilty about it. I didn't think that he'll also feel lonely there, especially that he doesn't know anyone there.. Compared to me that had many friends here, he'll be more lonely than me. I should remember that starting from now.

"You didn't have to. Just come back to me and I'll be happy.." I didn't have any choice. And even if he won't assure me, I know I'll wait for him even if it's forever.. No, that will never happen.

"I promise, I'll come back very soon.." He took my hand and kissed the back of it.

I blushed with what he did because there are a lot of people inside this restaurant, and some of them were glancing at us especially when they see Noah with me. I wouldn't deny that with those past years that we've been apart, he changed a lot.. His face become more good-looking and his features were really attractive. His body and muscles were just a bonus!

"Here," he gave me his plate and I saw that he already sliced the meat in it.

"T-thank you.." I stared at it and my heart flutters by seeing how caring he was. Hmm.. Sweet...

"I think, you should answer my question now baby..." He pouted.

I was taken a back. "W-what is it a-again...?"

I forgot his question earlier, because I was too preoccupied to what he said. I didn't want him to think that I'm not listening to him but...

"You're not really listening.." There's a sadness in his tone. He even sighed before pouting like a kid again.

"Sorry.. I was out of the world earlier..." I rubbed my temples and gave him a peace sign.

He chuckled and drink some wine. "I'm asking if you're free this Saturday or this weekend?"

"Oh. Why?"

Well, I'm not that busy since I have no work during weekends. Maybe some minimal projects to finish but it's not that big. I can manage..

I saw how his face heated with what I said. Aww. So cute. "I just wanna ask you on a date before I go.."

His voice were husky that even made him more cute and sexier! Damn, he even licked his bottom lip! I didn't know if he's just teasing me or it's just his habit!

I only remember him doing this before though.. So maybe it's his habit..

"Sure! I would love spending the remaining time with you Noah.."

I almost teared up as I remember him leaving again. Damn, I already miss him now! Am I crazy or what?

"We should baby.." He smiles. "And I'll spend my remaining years with you when I came back.."

I didn't get his last words but I just smiled so he wouldn't noticed it. I wanted to be with him too.. I badly wanna be with him all the time!

We finished eating after that and we even passed by at the lake around the park on the city. We were walking on a cold city where our hands intertwined together as we feel the breeze pressing on our faces.

I didn't know that walking with someone you love in this hour could be so refreshing and romantic.. Noah brought his camera with him, so when we passed by on a beautiful spot, he would asked me to to do a pose there and then he'll take a picture of me.

We haven't done this before and it felt really good now. I felt carefree and in love..

"Do you know that my first dream was to become a photographer?" He said while we're walking on this beautiful trees around us.

"Why didn't you pursue it?"

I mean, he's good at it. He can be a professional if he just continue it..

"Because I realized that I can just do it as my hobby?" He chuckled as he looked at me.

We sat on a wooden chair behind those big trees nearby us. And now we're already facing the beautiful lake in front of us. This is the view where we first watched our fireworks display and the first time Noah showed his feelings for me before..

It's good to bring back those memories.. It's quite a good feeling..

Well, he have a point with that. Photography can be his leisure and hobby as he tried to pursue his career. It's a good choice, then.

"You're good, Noah. I think you'll be successful too if you become like that. But I'm still happy with what you become right now.."

"You think so?" He turned to me and his eyes went to my lips.

I noticed that we became too intense with each other, that we keep kissing.. Not that I didn't want it but, it just always felt new and embarrassing for me. So I really blushed a lot when he started when we do it again.. Like damn, his lips were so soft that I even want more of his lips! It's really scary.

"I'm wondering if we're the same of thoughts right now.." I swallowed hard as he didn't take off his eyes on my lips. Oh my god, he's tempting me!

"W-what thoughts.." I feel like I lost my breath when he moved closer to me.

His handsome face were so close to me that I can't even move a little to at least playing hard to get by it. He's taking the remaining strength of my body, goddamn it.

"I wanted to kiss you baby..." I closed my eyes as his voice become sexier now. Shit. I think I would give up now. "Say you wanted to kiss me too.."

I didn't know what to do! Oh goodness gracious! I wanted to kiss him too but I didn't know how to say it. I am straightforward before but what happened now? Raine, what fucking happened?!

"Baby.."

I gasped as I hear his husky voice again. Damn it, Noah. "W-why do I h-have to say it... J-just do it.."

I can't look at him in the eyes in so much embarrassment. Kissing in public place like this was new to me, and even though there's no one was looking at us. I still feel conscious about it. To hell with my consciousness..

But this jerk seems to enjoy this moment because instead of kissing me, he just laugh so hard and held my hand!

"Relax baby... Your hand was shaking," I immediately pulled my hand but he's more powerful!

"N-noah.."

"You can't stop me from kissing you baby.." He breathe out.

"I never said I didn't want to kiss you Noah--"

He grabbed my waist and the next thing I know, we were already kissing in this public place.. But instead of being conscious, I even felt thrilled and thirsty of his kisses!

I even grabbed his collar to pulled him closer to me! Oh my god. I can't believed I'm doing this! I also heard his sexy chuckles while we're kissing, but I didn't mind it. Instead, I deepened the kiss by nipping his lower lip and caress his back with my palm.

I didn't know that kissing in this kind place felt this good.

"Can I get more kiss when I came back baby?" He asked in the middle of our kiss.

Our eyes were kind of intoxicated but I still manage to nod at him and kissed him on his lips again. I'm going to miss doing this with him. And now, I'm going to take advantage of the remaining time kissing him unendingly..

"You can always have what you want from me Noah.. Just promise that you will come back to me baby.." I wanted to go with him but I know it's not right and I have a work. And it's sad because I had no choice but to wait for his come back.

"I promised baby.." He kissed my forehead. "I'll call you on my free time.."

"You should."

We stayed there for a few minutes before we decided to go home. He drove all the way to our apartment and he even walked me on our floor and unit.

"Call me when you--"

My mouth shut when he immediately sealed it with his lips. Oh my god! But I immediately returned the kiss by kissing him hard and placed my arms around his neck.

Damn it, I think I will be addicted to his kisses now. That I would miss those fucking days that I didn't kiss those lips of him.

"I love you so much, Raine. I don't want you to leave me again. Please promise me you will wait..." He pressed his face on my shoulder.

"Of course, Noah. I'll always wait for you, no matter what happened. I promise.."

"Really?" His moved away and looked at me with those cute reaction of him.

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Damn. Thank you baby!" He hugged me and I can feel how he'll gonna missed me on how tight his embrace make me...
