"You look just like fine wine and I can bet that you taste like one too." Noah commented, glaring at me as I stepped down the foyer of my house.
He had this huge smile on his face, and his hands in his pocket. This made him look like someone pulled out of a story book where the main character was so beautiful it was unreal.
Therefore, I could say the same for him too. He looked intoxicating in his grey suit and pure white shirt.
His eyes glowed under my light giving it different colours so beautiful it was sublime.
His red lips looked even more delicious today. He was an embodiment of sin and desire and I had to look away before I got caught up with him.
The only reason why I was doing this was to find out who he was not to give in to him.
I couldn't let myself give in to any man again not after what I had suffered those years ago.
I was played with like a chess. I couldn't let myself trust anyone ever again.
Yet, I didn't have the strength of mind or will of body to deny the face that for the first time in forever I felt so close to something familiar and I wanted to know why it was I felt it.
"Are we in the position for such innuendos already?" I asked, walking past his outstretched hand.
His car was packed just in front of my Black iron gate and today it was a black sleek Mercedes 2018.
He did have a lot of money to burn and that much was obvious, but I wasn't poor either so his money didn't really trip me so much.
I noticed immediately that he was again free of any security detail. In his office today he was lambasted by them at all corners.
Why he didn't want to be protected when around me alarmed as well as flattered me.
I could hear his slow and precise footsteps behind me and also his heart beat. Or maybe it was my heart beating fast and not his.
"It was a complement, you don't have to be so stuck up, My Queen." He said with an amused voice, probably at the way I had taken his words seriously.
Hearing him call me My Queen just the same way and in the same voice Scar used to call me made my heart do flip flops in my chest.
I choked on my spittle as my heart started pulsating hard and fast in my head.
A spiral of cough escaped my lips and scratched my throat making me feel very uncomfortable.
There was no water around and I was sure that I would die, killed by my own growing fear and memories.
But just as the bad thoughts of death started coming on to me, Noah was at my back already.
And Immediately he touched me a jolt of electricity passed through him to me seizing my cough at once.
It was like my whole body had been made alive just by a touch of his.
He proceeded to caress my back softly until I was just about calm enough and could again breath through my racing heart beat. "You keep choking by my side Mirabel. Should I take that as a subtle sign?"
The way he called my full name made my core want to give in to him. I could already feel it weeping for his mercy.
I glared at him and rolled my eyes. "You don't look like what comes out of your mouth."
He chuckled then gave me a smirk that lightened up his face and eyes.
"There is no fun in predictability my dear." He sings, taking my hand in his. I looked down at our intertwined fingers and swallowed as he walked us both to his Car.
He opened the passenger sit for me watching me intently as I got in then he closed the door after. Excitedly jogging around the car to the drivers sit.
Immediately he got in, he revved the engine while my security opened the door for him.
We were greeted by a half moon glowing in the dark night.
My house was not exactly far from town neither was it in town seeing that I loved silence a whole lot.
The street I stayed in was filled with huge houses like mine and a hint of forestry. It was a rather cool part of this buzzing town.
There was a comfortable silence in the air as he drove and I wanted it to stay that way but I did expect Noah to break it and that was exactly what he did.
"You know you could look at me." He said softly. His voice was like water, drowning me yet soothing me. I turned around to glare at him only to see a small dimple play on the right side of his cheeks just like Scar.
My heart skipped and I immediately turned back to the Mirror. "I prefer looking at the road, thank you."
"Are you scared of me?" He asked, sounding a bit unsure. I swallowed hard and looked forward just so he wouldn't feel away from me or maybe I was the one who wanted to feel close enough to him.
"Where are we going? and don't say its a surprise." I asked, desperately needing to change the conversation.
"Its not a surprise. I don't think you trust me enough for me to surprise you and it wouldn't be fair to either of us if you spent dinner scared of what might happen. So, I found a rather cool place just for us, its close to your house and we might as well just take advantage of it."
I blinked twice as every nerve in my body, every cell, craved to look at him and I did. "Thank you for thinking of me." I blurted out.
He chuckled a bit then turned over to stare at me. "I have always been a gentle man and I have always thought of you first."
