It was One Night Only

I was propping some strawberries in my mouth as I sat down with Pat as she made dinner for us. Much to my dismay, Noah had told them not to allow me to cook.

“Do you think my cooking was bad?” I ask voicing out my thoughts on why Noah won’t want me to cook again.

“Your cooking was marvelous,” Pat said slicing some onions that made her tear up.

“Dip the onion in water regularly it will prevent its tearing-up effect,” I say and she nods getting herself a bowl of water.

“So why doesn’t he want me to cook again?” I asked Pat for the eighteen times in ten minutes. I see her rolling her eyes with a smile stretching her lips.

“You have to ask him yourself then” she comments offhand. She washes the knife and goes on to cut the carrots and some cucumber. She was making a salad because of me and I was in no mood for salad.

“Urghh,” I say feeling slightly more frustrated than I should.

“Why don’t you go freshen up?” Pat suggests.

“Are you trying to get rid of me?” I gasp with fake hurt putting my hand on my chest and pouting my lips.

“I will ship you to Alaska if I have to,” Pat said following the trend I created.

“I prefer the USSR,” I say and she frowns. “I’m going anyway,” I say standing up.

“That’s too far away” she comments and I sigh.

“Going to freshen up,” I say and get inside. I slip off my clothes and have a long nice dip in the bathtub. I felt myself dozing away when the door of the room opened and closed. I washed down and got out of the bathtub. I looked at myself in the mirror and my skin had turned white. I sigh and go out. I expected to see Pat standing there waiting to deliver a message to me but I saw no one.

“That’s strange” I murmur to myself and since there is no one here. I drop the towel on myself and drop it to the bed. I walk into the closet very naked only for me to be confronted by a very confused-looking Noah.

For a split second, my brain didn’t register to me that I was naked before Noah until he turned away. I quickly walked out of the room and slipped on my towel again. Embarrassment flooded me. What was I thinking?

Noah came out of the closet and I could still see the way his body was tense.

“Sorry about that,” I say in a pleading tone. His eyes come closer to mine in a kind of way.

“Are you really sorry?” he asked coming closer to me. I want to take steps back like they do in a movie but damn my luck. My legs were already at the end of the bed.

I gulp and he still has this dark look in his eyes as he walks towards me. Finally, he is in my front invading my privacy. He just stares at me. His breath I can feel just above my nose. I’m so sure he can feel mine too.

“You just awoke something that had been sleeping for a very long time,” he said and I couldn’t help my eyes that decided it was time to travel down his body and stop at his cock. My eyes widened when I saw the erection. “Can you satisfy it?” he asked.

How do I answer? Although I already like him. I want him to like me also before I can submit those needs to him. While I was still thinking. He crashed his lips on mine and kissed me with so much strength. I stood blinking like a fish that had just been brought out of the water. He groaned when I didn’t respond and used his tongue to part my mouth.

I caught myself and pushed him away slightly he got the memo and stepped back.

“I’m sorry,” I said unaware of why I was sorry. “We are married because of a child not because we love each other. I think these things should be shared among those who love each other” I say and he frowns.

He clears his throat. “I’m not sorry in any way for trying to kiss you,” he said and walked to the bathroom direction.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I decided that the room was too hot for me to stay. I got dressed quickly in a pair of maternity shorts and a baggy shirt. I pulled my hair in a ponytail and left the room quickly.

I went to see Pat almost done with dinner. I wish to skip dinner so I won’t have to sit for over half an hour with Noah, but then the baby needs some food. Nichole strolls in and has a sly look on her face. That look says trouble.

“How was your day?” I force myself to ask in a voice that sounds kind. Taken aback by my nice and warm welcome she seemed lost for words.

“Didn’t you have a wonderful day with Noah in the office today?” I ask her and she smiles and nods her head. “I had a wonderful time with Jaden,” I said and her head snapped to me.

“Wow,” she commented. “How can a married woman spend time with an unmarried man.” she tsked and I just laughed at her.

“Coco,” I said and her face was fuming with the nickname I brought up. “Jaden just came to ask when you will come home. You have been lying to your best friend. You left Jaden without any explanation and you landed here. You guys moved in together when you started going out and there are no renovations going on at your former place which is on lease, and this new place which belongs to Jaden.” I say her eyes open wide.

As she was about to say something Noah’s voice disrupted hers. “Is that true?” he asks and she looks as if she just landed herself in a whole lot of trouble.

“I can explain”

“I would like to hear that,” Noah said with a stern expression on his face. It wasn’t part of the plan for Noah to hear this but anything works for me.

“Well…. The thing is that I missed you a lot, you know the way we were so I decided to come to see you” she said and I shook my head at her pathetic excuse.

“I missed you too,” Noah said and my neck snapped to him. ‘You have got to be kidding me” I murmur slightly to myself.

“You know the way we were before she came into our lives,” Nichole said eyeing me.

“You broke up with me,” Noah said and she nodded.

“I know that. I was going to come back but it was already too late by the time I wanted to come back” she said batting her eyelashes.

“You are still with Jaden,” Noah said and I nodded at least he finally knocked himself with some common sense.

“I will leave him if you can let me come back” I can’t hide my disgust anymore.

“What happens to me?” I ask clearly asking Noah because blames me. Do I just forget that I got married?

“You guys can divorce each other. After all, Noah still loves me right?” she said facing him. He didn’t answer. He looked away and that left a pain in my chest. “And I love him,” she said taking steps towards him.

“Noah?” I say pleading silently with him to say at least a word so I can know what he feels about this.

After a few minutes, he says nothing. I turn on my heels and run straight to the room. He said nothing. I might as well sign the divorce papers when he presents them.

I sit on the bed bury my head in my hands and sob.

Don’t you feel so stupid for loving him? He was your first love but you were still as stupid as anything. Trusting him and loving thinking he will learn to love you too? What were you thinking Rachael?

“Rachael?” Noah said above me. When did he come in?
