It was One Night Only

The light streaming through the window enter my eyes as I open it slowly. I squint my eyes and focus it. Noah was standing there in a towel around his waist. He was applying lotions to his chest and his legs. He dropped the bottle and his towel dropped.

I covered my eyes with the blanket and closed my eyes. He was not doing that. He could at least be decent right? He knew I was here was he doing it on purpose?

I look up later and it is safe to look as he has his pants on. He goes to closets and brings out a blue shirt and a black jacket to match the pants he had on.

There was a knock on the door and Noah answered it.

“Good morning” the over happy voice said and I wanted to just die. It was a happy morning until she came here.

“Morning Coco” he said and I wanted to choke. He calls her nick name.

“Hurry we will be late” she said.

“I’m coming, I just need to talk to Rachael. When he said that my eyes snapped shut and I tried to slow my breaths just like we did when we were young to trick our parents that we were asleep when we were in fact watching a movie.

“I know you are awake sweets” he said in my ear. Sweets? It’s been so long I heard that. “I am going to work, since you were so desperate for a lunch with me yesterday I will have Ben drop you off at my office at noon. Don’t be late” he said his breath lingering in my ear.

“If you are late I will just go out with Coco” he said in a teasing tone. He called her Coco just because he knew I was awake? I smiled when I felt his lips on my fore head. I only opened my eyes when I heard the door shut.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

When I was sure they were already downstairs I got up and started doing a happy dance. Things were okay with us again.

I take a shower because I want to smell and feel fresh. It’s like a date. He asked me and gave me a forehead kiss. Why was I so happy? I don’t know it is just a common lunch and a forehead kiss why am I so hyped about it?

Because no matter how you deny it you are starting to fall in love with Noah.

My mind told me boldly. No I can not be in love can I? Ugh I’m so confused already. When I’m done contemplating in the shower. I get outside and dry my hair with the air blower. I try something different with my hair today other than the normal pony tail I have. I try to braid my hair down but it doesn’t look like what I want. It will look too much and like an effort I put in. An obvious effort.

So I go with my normal pony tail but I make it well tied and neat. I then put up some makeup trying as much as possible to make it as minimal as possible.

I check out my clothes most things aren’t fitting me again because I’m getting bigger and my clothes can’t fit any more. I need more clothes. I finally settle for one nice dress that Ana sent to me a some days ago. It’s supposed to go all the way above the knees but it reaches mid thigh now and I’m not even big yet. Just four months along.

I get down and take an apple avoiding the watchful eyes of Liliana again. I walk out to see Ben standing there waiting for me.

“Good morning Mrs. Lorraine” Ben said when he saw me approaching him.

“Good morning Ben” I say giving him a smile. He opens the door for me and I enter inside. “Thank you” I say when he too slides into the front seat.

“You are welcome” he said smiling.

“Are you dating anyone?” I ask out of blue although I think that he might be into Pat.

“No ma’am” he said clearing his throat awkwardly.

“Why?” I ask not that I find it strange or anything. Aaron never dated anyone and he still isn’t seeing anyone. We are getting afraid that he may die virgin because he is a guy are guys even virgins? but not the point. Pat and Ben are totally good together.

“I haven’t found the right girl yet” he said and I frowned at him. “I have met many girls but non of them have been a special someone” he explains further.

“No one?” I ask him and he just nods. “Even Patrica?” I ask obviously fed up and knowing that I have a bad approach but maybe I will actually get what I want.

“Pat?” he asked and I nodded. “She is a special friend to me. We were employed at the same time. We worked for Mr. Lorraine mom but then she packed up from the mansion when her husband died and went to live in a small house with Katy” he said and I feel so sad right now. “She wanted to let us go but we were part of the people Noah retained apart from those that are in her small house now” he finished.

“Wow” I say as I take all that in.

“It’s not in my place to even say such things I’m so sorry I’m rambling. It happens anytime I am asked to talk about my love life” he confessed.

“You know from what I have gathered you only ramble when it is about some one you like” I say remembering Eileen and Jacob. He was a rambling machine at that time.

“You think I like Pat?” he asked.

“Only you can answer the question” I said as he pulled into the company gates. He dropped me at the door before driving off to park some where.

I walk straight to the receptionist I met yesterday. She recognized me and gave me a smile.

“You are here to see Mr. Lorraine right?” she asked me and I nodded. “Same way” she said referring to when I came yesterday.

“Thank you…” I say waiting for her to give me her name.

“Mara” she said smiling.

“Thank you Mara” I say and she smiles.

I walk up stairs to see Nichole tapping away in her phone. I clear my throat and she looks up to see me.

“What do we have here?” she said smirking. “Really desperate” she commented.

“I’m going in to see Noah” I say ignoring her existence and entering the office. Today when the door opened her saw me and smiled. He used his hand to beckon on me to come. I moved closer and stood so the table was separating us.

“Rachael” he said and I so smiled.

“I came!” I say excited. Was this a date?
