Chapter-18

'Noah.'

'Hmmm....'

'Where did you find that poem?'

'I wrote all of them.'

'You wrote, really?'

She said with a doubt, not believing my words. I shifted my gaze towards her from the diary. A invisible frown was placed between her eyebrows like she was thinking something deeply. I put back the diary on my table. I slowly went to her and trapped her between my arms. She stepped back immediately spacing some distance between us.

'Any doubt, MY GIRLFRIEND!'

I said while leaning my face closer to her with a small smirk playing on my face. She blushed hard. She laughed awkwardly and said,

'No! Ac..actually...I was..umm...Your poems are so romantic.'

'And me?'

'Yo..you too.'

'And.. how do you know that?'

'Oh I..I just g..guessed that. The person can write such romantic thoughts must be also ro..romantic.'

She said while tugging some hairs behind her hairs and lowered her gaze. She is afraid to meet my eyes. Her ears are all red because of embarrassment and her cheeks holding a pink tint. I started feeling something. A weird messy feeling rushing through my body. Watching her blushing and stuttering because of me makes me want to hold her in my arms, to tell her the things I have been longing to tell her all these times. I didn't waste my time and hugged her tightly. She froze in her place and placed her hands on my chest. I bet she can feel heartbeat which is raising because of her.

'Do you know the effect you have on me?'

'No..Noah.' she breathed out.

'I do write love poems but love was just a word until the day I met you.'

She clenched her fist holding my shirt and placed her forehead on my shoulder while listening to me. Her hot breath hitting the sensitive skin of my neck sending me a dizzy sensation. Her body going numb in my arms made me hold her more tightly. She squeezed herself more in my arms like a child. I sniffed in her neck taking her scent which made me feel more dizzy.

'You don't know how much I love you. I need the whole universe to show you my love.'

I said whispering in her ears. I felt her shivering a little.

'I love you, too.'

She said mumbling in my embrace. I wish I could pause this moment. I broke the hug and cupped her face to make her look at me. Her lips curving a little looking into my eyes.

'Every time I look into your eyes, it makes me want to kiss you.'

'H..huh...?'

She gave me confused look which made me chuckled. I leaned my face closer to her and brushed my nose with her. Her eyes are closed and her lips are shaking. Our breath mixing with each other. We had a very small amount of distance between us which was making me restless. I killed the small gap and before I could even realize her soft lips were on mine. They felt like a piece of warm cloud wrapped around my lips. A sudden coldness hit us both making our body shiver but I felt a warm feeling in my heart because of the kiss, making my face heat up more. Soon I felt her shaking lips moving in a motion with mine, making me adopt a smile between the kiss. We were carried away by the moment. Pulling away maybe was the hardest thing for us, but we did.

'Trust me, I would die for you to hold you like this, to love you like this.'

I said while brushing my lips against the soft skin of her cheeks, caressing it gently. By the moment we heard a faint sound of door and footsteps which turned into a loud gasp causing us to look at the direction just to find Uncle Mark standing there with a unreadable expression.

'Oh my God! What I just witnessed? I'm so sorry for ruining your moment.'

He said and immediately closed the door creating a loud thud. June pushed me with a force causing me to fall on the bed. She was so embarrassed and me too. None of us uttered a single word or could look at each other. Suddenly we heard Uncle yelling from the other side of the door.

'Don't do THAT before marriage! Get married soon, I want three Grandchildren!'

I saw June hiding her face in her palms shadowing her red face. I tried to change the topic saying something random but nothing came in my mind. She suddenly opened her mouth grabbing my attention.

'Noah, can you come with me tomorrow? I want to show you something special.'
