I Was Never Yours - Episode 18

Walking to my old room, I made sure to close the door
behind me so that Olivia wouldn't hear what was
about to happen next. She'd left us alone for the most
part of the evening and I could only hope she didn't
see how strained and awkward things were between
Noah and me. Noah, bless him, had caught on to the
fact that something was out of place and that Olivia
had no idea about anything that had happened in the
past four months so he kept quiet. Now as I led him to
my room, I was preparing myself to tell him what I
should've told him ages ago. I was a horrible person
for making him go through what he did and I didn't
deserve his love or his forgiveness.
"Whoa what happened in here?" Noah let out a low
whistle as I opened the door to the room and switched
on the light. I have to admit, I was pretty surprised
myself. Everything was gone...each and every single
thing that used to be part of the place was gone and
in its place were bare white walls. A lone bed and an
armchair sat in the middle of the large space but that
was it. Wow, they must have really wanted to remove
all traces of me and they did a pretty good job with it.
"It's a long story," I said as my gaze wandered around
the room. Noah came up from behind me and placed
his hand on the small of my back. He leaned closer to
my ear and his breath tickled the side of my face.
Once again I felt like I was putty in his arms. "I'm not
going anywhere' Ari," he breathed and pulled away,
grabbing my wrist and making us walk forwards so
that our legs collided with the bed. We sat down on
the king-sized bed and Noah traced his fingers across
my face; I shuddered at the contact, goosebumps
breaking out over my skin. How could I push him
away when the slightest touch from him made me
lose my mind?
"I need to know what's been going on, Ari, please just
tell me," he said softly, his fingers still lingering on my
cheek. He brushed them across my lips as lightly as a
feather but that one simple action broke my last
thread of restraint. I had no idea what came over me
but I literally leapt at him, attacking him with my lips.
All the pain, anger, longing I had bottled up inside of
me released as my body finally got what it had been
aching for, for ages. My lips touched Noah's and it was
like I'd been given air to breathe and water after a
prolonged drought. He responded immediately,
moaning at the back of his throat and tangling his
hands in my hair, pulling me impossibly closer to him.
He licked my bottom lip and I was more than eager to
let him in. As soon as his tongue met mine, fireworks
exploded inside of me as I drank him in greedily. The
kiss was filled with so much passion and love that I
couldn't figure out how I'd stayed away from him for
so long. His taste was so exotic, so delectable that I
never wanted to stop. Regretfully however, we had to
and we were both breathing pretty hard by the time
we did. Noah touched his forehead to mine.
"I love you so much," he breathed as he gazed into my
eyes and I gulped. It had been so long since I'd heard
those words from him, it just thawed my heart. "I love
you too," I said as I caressed his cheek.
"Then tell me Ari, please tell me what's wrong," he
begged. I let out a deep breath. I grabbed his hands
and held them in a death grip, fearing that he'd leave
me forever if I let go. I looked at him with all the love
I had for him, hoping he'd see that everything that had
happened was a cruel twist of fate and that I would
never hurt him on purpose.
My voice shook terribly as I said, "Where do I start?" I
laughed bitterly and Noah's grip on my hands tightened.
"How about the beginning?" he suggested and I
nodded. I started telling him the story from the day of
the wedding, about how Olivia had deserted us all. I
told him about how my family would've lost
everything if a wedding hadn't taken place and then I
told him the hardest part. I didn't dare look at his face
as I mentioned taking my sister's place and marrying
Zach. That was when his hold on my wrists tightened
to a point that it was painful. I closed my eyes and let
a lone tear escape. I didn't really want to continue but
since he wasn't interrupting I didn't stop. I skipped the
parts where' Zach and his house had pretty much
made my life miserable but I told him about Nick,
Olivia's prenup, her accident and now her return. Don't forget to leave a Comment
