Noah gets stabbed

***It breathed a frenzied morning the subsequent day***

Celine slowly opened her eyes and she glanced at the roof. Images of Noah caressing her flashed through her mind and she turned and looked beside her. She sat up feeling alarmed and perplexed that Noah is not on the bed she could not help feeling a twinge of panic.

She quickly put on her clothes and plodded outside the hut. She glanced left and right, the rays of the scorching sun glared in her eyes and her eyebrows were furrowed.

"Noah! Noah!!" She screamed.

"Over here!" Noah screamed back and she turned. She looked at him kneeling by the huge rocks. He waved at her grinning from ear to ear. She grinned back at him and noticed several coconuts lying besides him and some smashed coconuts.

She ambled towards him and halted besides the rocks. The whirl wind jiggled her hair and her dress. Pitches of the sea flowing back and forth echoed in her ears.

Noah picked up a coconut and shattered it on the rock. Strands of his blonde hair plummeted on his face.

"I wish you woke up later when I'm done preparing for us some breakfast."

"When I woke up, I couldn't find you beside me and I thought that you have abandoned me on this Island all by myself. I thought that I'm no longer important to you since you have seen my body and that your duty to me as my guard is no more matters to you. I mean you can easily leave me or dump me. My dad is not here to see if you are protecting me or not so if you wish you can be unethical."

Noah furrowed his eyebrows, "no don't say that, " he advanced closer to her and he stroke her cheek, "you don't have to be afraid or scared cause I'm never gonna leave you or toss you like a trash can because you are important to me. My heart stop beating whenever I see you in danger. I cherish you than the air I breathe."

Celine sniffed. Tears flowed from her eyes. "I know that you love me that's why I don't feel scared for my life cause you are around. I don't care if we are in a strange Island, I know that you won't let any harm touch me."

She pulled him into a hug and he held her lovingly. He slowly moved from her arms, "I wanna finish breaking the coconuts so you can eat. I know that you are hungry."

Smiles tilted the corners of her lips.

Noah sat down on a rock. He picked up a coconut and he smashed it. Celine folded her arms staring at him and he winked at her, she chuckled.

He laid his hand on the chaff of the coconut staring into her eyes and he tried to smash it, the chaff plunged into his palm and he groaned loudly Celine panicked and noticed blood streaming from his palm.

He sprang to his feet and stared at the chaff hanging in his palm.

"Oh my gosh!" Celine exclaimed and started to him. Her eyes drooped.

Noah clasped the chaff and was pulling it out Celine felt frightened and shut her eyes completely. Blood streaked from his palm towards his elbow. Noah howled loudly as the chaff moved out of his palm and he tossed out the chaff.

He sighed and Celine opened her eyes widely. She glanced at his hand, "so much blood, " she exclaimed, "I'm sorry you are wounded because of me."

"It's nothing I'm gonna get better. I have been stabbed several times in the past. I survived a bomb explosion. Recently, I fought those thugs who tried to snatch you."

"What do you mean you have been stabbed several times?" Celine folded her arms and furrowed her eyebrows.

"I used to work as a bodyguard to the President of the United States. My body has gone through hell and I don't regret risking my life each time to protect him."

"I'm not gonna let you treat your life or treat your body like a filthy carpet. Your life is important to me, I won't let you put it in danger. I can't stand the thought of losing you or seeing you hurt."

Noah chuckled, "stop over thinking Celine. I am strong, I can handle any kind of danger."

He walked past her heading towards the sea. Celine felt restless and screamed, "where're you going?"

Noah paused and turned to her, "I wanna go fishing. I wanna have roasted fish for breakfast instead."

Celine angrily approached him, "I won't let you abuse your body Noah. What if your wound gets infected? You have not treated it."

"I will catch just three or five fish."

"No, you are not fishing. You are not okay yet. Come with me." She held his wrist and swiveled from the sea walking with him towards the hut.

"What do you wanna do?"

Celine walked inside the hut and they advanced to the bed.

"Sit down."

"What do you...what are you trying to do?"

"Just do as I say."

"Okay." Noah nodded and he crouched on the bed.

"This time around, I will be the one taking care of you. I won't let you work and you're gonna rely on me."

Smiles tilted the corners of Noah's lips and he stared at her.

Celine picked up an old shirt hanging by the window and she ripped it off. She took the piece of the torn shirt and advanced towards Noah. She bowed in front of him and Noad noticed strands of her hair flowing over her face. She held his hand and dabbed the blood stains on his hand.

She swirled the cloth and wrapped it around his palm. She looked away from his hand and noticed him staring at her and she looked into his eyes. She smiled wildly.

"Lie down okay? I'm gonna go fishing." She turned from him and was walking past him, he grabbed her wrist and she paused.

He sprang up to his feet, "hold on you wanna fish? Your hands are too tender to pull fishes with a fishing net. You have lived a lavish life you're not used to fishing what if something happens to you. I'd rather be the one to fish."

"Don't worry, I will be careful."

"I don't want anything to happen to you Celine don't be stubborn." Noah furrowed his eyebrows.

"If you love me, you will have faith in me."

Noah sighed, "alright but if you get wounded or even get a tiny bruise, you will not defy me anymore."

"Okay." She nodded.

She was almost stepping out of the hut and she noticed that Noah was walking behind her, she halted and turned to him and she laid her hands on his chest, "stay here, I want you to get enough rest."

She kissed him on his face and walked out.
