The storm in my life
Chapter 23
Katherine’s POV
“Katherine!!” Noah called out to me.
I quickly rushed to the elevator and got in. I saw him
running towards the elevator and wished that the elevator had closed to hinder
him from getting to me. But no, nature wasn’t on my side, he got into the
elevator and I turned away from him.
I didn’t want to look at his face because I didn’t trust
myself. When I’m in the three phased emotion, anger, hurt and frustration, I become
a different person. I tend to be very violent.
“Katherine”, I heard him say and I ignored him.
“Katherine”, he said tapping my shoulders. Immediately he
did that, I flinched and turned around to hit him.
“Don’t you dare touch me”, I said, clenching my fist and
staring at him with anger.
With the look on his face, I could tell that he was terrified
and confused, but I wasn’t going to play into that emotion.
“Katherine, what’s going on? Why did you run off like that? Did
I do or say something wrong?” he asked me and I ignored him.
I just waited patiently to get to the ground floor.
“Katherine, if you don’t talk to me, how am I supposed to
know what is wrong?” he said.
“Just stay away from me. I want nothing to do with you”, I said
to him. I was sick of hearing his voice.
“Katherine, what did I do wrong? If it’s about Caroline, I don’t
have anything to do with her”, he said.
“Yeah, everyone knows that. She refused to sleep with you
and you kicked her to the curb”, I said, bluntly.
“What are you talking about?”
“Are you going to deny what I just heard you admit to in
your office?”
“Oh no. you have it all wrong. Yes I tried to sleep with
Caroline, but that was because I was drunk”.
“Yeah right, blame it on alcohol”, I said.
He was about to speak but, the elevator stopped on the 2nd
floor and someone got in.
“Good day”, the lady said to us and we responded.
When we finally got to the ground floor, I quickly rushed
out and Noah was still behind me.
“Are you judging me because I tried sleeping with someone?”
he asked me and I ignored him.
“And it was even under the influence of alcohol”, he yelled
and I ignored him once more and sepped out of the building.
“Katherine are you serious? What’s gotten into you?”
“Into me? I should be asking you that”, I yelled.
“What did I do wrong?”
“You’re using me”, I yelled.
“For what?” he asked, surprised.
“I know what you did to Caroline?”
“What did I do?”
“You had a thing with her and when she refused to have sex
with you, you deserted her”, I said to him.
“Is that what she told you?”
“Is that what you did?” I asked back.
“No. I tried sleeping with her, yes, but that’s now how it
went down, and we didn’t have a thing. She was just a close friend and one day,
I had a very bad day and she opted to see me off. When we got home, I drank a
lot and we talked, then things got heated up and I lost myself and tried to
sleep with herm but she refused. I felt really bad and shamed, so I went to bed
and told her to sleep in the guest room and since that day, I felt really
guilty, so I had to keep my distance. She didn’t understand my actions and she
started invading my privacy and stalking me. So I had to cut all communications
with her except the ones concerning work. I tried firing her and she pleaded
with me and promised to put a stop to her actions and that’s it”, he said.
I was quiet for some time. I tried digesting all that he
said.
“I don’t believe you”, I said to him.
“Then I don’t know what more to do. I’m not using you or whatever
you think. I just care about you a lot. The first time, I met you, I was drawn
to you. I don’t know what exactly it was, but I was willingly to entangle
myself in your life. I really like you Katherine. Believe me. I won’t do
anything to hurt you”, he said.
I looked at him for a while, and I could see sincerity in
his eyes. I guess God really wants me to be happy after all.
“I believe you”, I said, smiling at him and he heaved a sigh
of relief.
“Thank God”, he said, smiling back. “And believe me when I say
I will never hurt you. I like you a lot Katherine and I will love to take you
out on a real date, no the fake ones he had when you were an escort”, he said,
smiling.
Remembering the fact that I was an escort, made me cringe.
“I can’t believe that you were once an escort. You look so innocent”,
he said laughing.
“Please don’t remind me of that”, I said, laughing.
“Okay, one last one. You looked really hot when in that
outfit you wore on our second date”, he said, teasing me and I laughed when I remember
when that day. It was really embarrassing.
“Okay, so what do you say about our date?” he asked.
“Yeah, I will go on a date with you, but not today. I have
to get my dad from the hospital and also take my family to see my new house”, I
said, blushing.
“Alright, how about tomorrow?” he asked.
“Uhmm, sure”.
“Alright, then let’s get back to the building or you still
want to leave?” he asked.
“No, let’s get back”, I said, and we walked back.
************
Today has been such a long day. My dad was finally home and
my family had seen my house. They were really happy for me when they saw it.
I was really overjoyed to see the huge smiles on their face.
God is indeed great.
After supper, I went to my room and dived onto my bed. I smiled
at the fact that I had a date with Noah tomorrow. I really look forward to our
official date tomorrow.
I can finally admit that I have feelings for Noah.
