The storm in my life
Chapter 24
Katherine’s POV
“I’m so tired”, I said, collapsing on my couch.
“Yeah, I can see that. Moving into a new house can be really
stressful”, Noah said.
“Yeah, I wish I had flash’s abilities”, I said, and Noah
laughed.
“You’re really funny. Well, I offered to help out, but you
turned me down. So…”, he said shrugging.
“I want to do it myself so that I don’t look for anything
later on”.
“Well, that’s fine. And are you done?”
“Not yet, I will continue later”, I said, yawning.
“Mmm, are you sure you’’ll still have the strength to go on
our date”, he asked.
“Wow, you’re already chickening out”, I said, glaring at
him.
“No, no, I just don’t want to stress you out. I ‘m going to be here all day though, not going anywhere”, he said, grinning.
“Hmm, the perks of being the boss, no one can question you”,
I said, rolling my eyes.
“My father can. He’s even coming down next week”, he said
and my heart skipped a beat.
My face became pale. I can’t face that man and I also don’t
know how to tell Noah what happened. Oh God, what do I do?
“Are you okay?” Noah asked.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine, just really tired”, I said yawning.
“Then why don’t you take a nap. I’ll be here waiting for
you”, he said.
Noah was just so sweet and I really think he could be the
one, but the issue with his dad is going to be a big problem and he’s not a
strong Christian yet. A lot of barriers, God, I just hope you see me through.
“Are you sure you’d be fine?” I asked.
“Yeah, I’d watch TV and probably sleep too”, he said,
smiling.
“Alright”, I said to him and then I left for my room.
I looked around once more and I couldn’t believe that this
was my room. May God be praised.
I dived on my bed and let sleep take over.
*************
Now, I’m confused on what to wear, and I really want to
impress Noah. He’s only seen me in nice outfits when I was an escort and he’s
also seen me in my work clothes. I want him to see me differently today.
I looked through all my dresses and was getting frustrated
till I came across an old dress of mine that my dad bought for me on one of my
birthdays.
The thought of it, made me giggle. My dad was really worried
that I wasn’t going to like it, but it turned out to be my most favourite dress
and I wore it only on highly special occasions.
The black and red dress still looked like I just bought it
today. I put it on and I realised that I had put on some weight when the dress
completely hugged my curves really tight. Hopefully it wasn’t really short as I
thought it would be.
It was above my knee a bit. I paired it with a black
stiletto, my favourite necklace and earing. I also straightened my hair and
wore a slight make-up on.
I was really feeling good about myself and I knew that Noah
was going to love it.
I took in a deep breath and stepped out.
When I got to my living room, I had to make my presence
known by clearing my throat because Noah was so focused on his phone.
He got startled when I cleared my throat and looked up to
see me. On seeing me, his jawed dropped.
“Oh my! Katherine you look so beautiful”, he said, gawking
at me.
“Thank you”, I said, blushing and he kept gawking at me.
“Are you going to keep a lady waiting?” I asked.
“Oh my manners. I’m so sorry. Shall we?” he said, getting up
and straightening his outfit. He had already changed his outfit before I woke
up.
“You don’t look bad yourself”, I said, smiling at him. He
looked so handsome and charming as always.
“Thank you”, he said, taking my hand and walking me to the
door.
He opened the door and we stepped out, the he locked up.
We went to the driveway and waited for our car to arrive.
When the car was brought in, we got in and he drove off.
He took me to a different eatery. I’ve never seen or heard
of this one before”.
“The place is nice”, I said to him and we took our seats.
The waiter took our orders and it was brought to us within
few minutes.
“Wow, that was fast”, I said to him.
“Yeah, that’s what makes this place special. They really
serve their food on time”.
“That’s nice”, I said, looking at my food. “And the food
looks nice”, I quickly tasted it and it tasted so good too. “This is so
perfect”, I said to him.
“I know”, he said, smiling.
We ate our food and talked at the same time. Yeah, it’s bad
table etiquette, but we couldn’t help it.
We got to know more about each other and my feelings for him
grew.
When we were done, he took me home and he was about taking
his leave, he hugged me and pecked me on the cheek. It made me melt.
“Goodnight Kat”, he said softly.
“Goodnight Noah”, I said and he left.
I locked up and quickly ran to my bed. I hugged my pillow
really tight. Oh God, I like him so much, I said to myself. I just hope that
this is going to end well for us. God please do this for me, I said, closing my
eyes really tight.
I was really happy with everything happening that was going
on in my life right now, but when I remember his dad, everything just goes
dark.
I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get through this, but
I just hope that everything goes on well.
