After 3 long chapters without Noah and now, here we go!

Happy Reading❤️

Noah's POV:

Stunned. She is.

And, I could feel that Bella was equally stunned either. My arm pulling her more close to my side as I never let her go.

Why should I let her go?

I looked at this widen eyes woman daringly and soon, the surprised expression turned to a glare. She walked slowly towards us and Bella already started to squirm in my arm.

I pulled her impossibly closer to me and my daring eyes, inching every seconds to be glared.

She's challenging the wrong one.

The other blonde which is next to Cherry, was already opening up to speak but Cherry cut her short.

"We are having this beach party tonight so be there sharp at 8. " she announced in that cheery tone yet I knew that it's just nothing cheer in them.

"Ya, alright. Thank you. " I replied with a smirk as she turned away in rush. Followed by her two rooter.

I chinned up and looked at their back retreating away, I would really do anything to prove her wrong about what she said on our alone 'private' talk with me.

Flashback;

"What is this? " she questioned as she crossed her arm across her chest.

"What is what? " I questioned back as I put my hands in my pocket while giving her that confusion look.

I could see her irritation across that stern face of hers but I ignored.

"What's with Bella? Why are you two being like a couple here? For once, I know that your just using her to revenge me as your still into me...but don't you get anyone else to do so? Why, her? "she asked in disgust as she shrugged simply.

I was confused. Why shouldn't it be Bella? What's the thing about her that bothers Cherry? Everything about Bella screams perfect then where's the wrong and how dare she's sure about me still into for her?

"What do you mean by, why her? She's everything that a man could ask for and...she's affecting me. Yet...I'm not into you. " I explained sternly and she glared me.

"Oh, you don't? You knew me for first before her remember? Then, where did she came from? And, of course she's not that compatible for me." she sneered as she snort unwantedly.

"Not like she's that pretty. " she mumbled to herself and snorted in disgust again.

That's it. She don't have any compatibility to fight against Bella but she's implying it in reverse.

"Alright, stop it. I don't like it when you disrespect Bella, she's the most beautiful woman that I ever met alive. She's captivating me and thats it...even you never did make me feel any of that. " I snapped as anger take in me and she incoherently hushed something under her breath.

She have no rights to talk about Bella like that.

"She? The most beautiful woman for you? Then, how about me? You used to say that to me, remember. And....and, I'm like your everything too then how come? " she snapped back at me.

"You already have that husband of yours to compliment and to think you as everything, so there's no need to talk about that now. " I pointed angrily as I glared her. Her face staring me with equal intensity.

Our eyes connected with fury yet it changed as soon as she started to stare me with her famous sympathize eyes. That once melt me.

Yet, I couldn't find any compromise through that eyes and that old flame isn't alive anymore.

She didn't hold that same power in me.

My eyes no longer staring her as I unconsciously averted my gaze at Bella, only to find her chit chatting with that surfer guy.

He kept on getting into my nerves by befriending her and I'm trying my best to control myself around Bella. I knew that motive behind that burning eyes of his on Bella and I loathe it. I couldn't bear any men's eyes on her.

I glanced one last time on Cherry, who's still staring me intentionally, yet I didn't gave anything about her anymore.

All I need to do now is to keep Bella away from him and I must do it immediately so I walked away without saying anything.

I don't want to so I don't need to.

I left her in her spot and walked to Bella who's busy talking with him. My nerves already bottle up in anger as my knuckles balled in fist.

Flashback ends;

Cherry needed to know that I'm not into her anymore.

Yes, I did wanted to win her back but feelings also changes, right?

Because, mine already does.

My arm loosen a little around Bella as she stared their back blankly yet I knew that she's twisting something in her brain.

"Bella. Don't confuse yourself. It doesn't matter whether she sees or not, okay. " I informed as I hold onto her hand. Squeezing it a bit while assuring her.

She looked at my eyes for a second and nodded slowly.

Then, myself unintentionally took her palm to my lips to plant a kiss while my eyes still connected to hers. Now, there's this power radiating in me and this power seems to be more stronger than what I feel with Cherry all this days before.

It's weird yet good at the same time.

I just don't know why I'm so clueless about what's going on between us right now.

All I know is that I needed to feel her close to me and that's already enough to run my routine.

*****
"Bella, I'm here. " I said as I knocked on her door gently while waiting for her. Everyone was already leaving to the beach party that organise along the shore and the sounds of music are pretty loud by now.

Her door clicked open and I saw her coming out in this stunning appearance yet I nearly drooled here.

The white spotted circles on the long slicked cut blue dress advanced the beauty of her astonishing curves and I'm a goner there. Her left side long creamy leg displaying a little while she walks forward and the off shoulders crippled her creamy skin barely for anyone to see.

I had this sudden urge to attach my lips on all of that bare creamy dermis of hers but I resisted instantly.

She's tempting me.

She smiled and I quickly came out from my train of thoughts.

Why she's killing me? I never knew that she's into dresses like this and I loved it a lot on her.

Now, I just need to keep her safe from any other eyes of admiration like I'm showing her right now.

Because all of that is mine. Only mine.

Next update will be on Friday night, alright🙊

I have final exams to deal with and I'm very sorry about it :'(

Don't forget me!
