The storm in my life
Chapter 26
Katherine’s POV
I was really excited, I couldn’t stop myself form grinning.
“Yes Noah, I’ll love to be your girlfriend”, I said, shyly. I’ll
kill him later for doing this in front of my parents.
Noah stood up and pulled me off my seat in excitement and
then he hugged me really tight.
My parents were really grinning at us and Lucy was clapping
her hands.
“So when is the wedding?” she asked and I glared at her but
my parents and Noah found it funny because they were laughing really hard.
“Lucy, we’ve not reached there yet”, I said to her.
“Really? But he just asked you to be his……girlfriend. Okay, I
understand now”, she said, frowning.
“You can’t wait to be in white? Huh? Don’t worry, soon”,
Noah said to her and she smiled.
We continued to eat our food and
my parents and Noah got to know each other.
They thanked him for coming
through for me and getting this job.
After eating, my mum and I went
to the kitchen to wash the dishes and we left my sister with Noah and my dad. I’m
sure Lucy had thousand questions for him.
“You really like him, huh?” my mu
asked and I smiled.
“Yes mum. I do”.
“I’m happy for you, but you know
being the girlfriend of the Governor’s son isn’t as normal as dating someone
else”, she said and it hit me. My familiarity with him made me forget the fact
that he was the governor’s son.
“Everyone will like to know more
about your relationship and you know how things like that get. I hope you’re
ready for this?” she asked.
Honestly, I didn’t know if I was
ready for this. I don’t like people prying into my life and now I just welcomed
the whole state into it by dating the son of their Governor. Oh my God.
“With your silence I can tell
that you’ve not thought about it before. You’ll need to discuss with him and
see how private you can both keep it and he’s a great guy, I’m sure he’ll handle
the press properly for you”, she said and I nodded.
“Have you met his parents before?”
she asked and my face changed. Oh God is there any way you can take that day
away. I don’t know how I’m ever going to face him again. And I can’t keep
hiding this from Noah, but I don’t know how to tell him, it’s his dad, I don’t
want to spoil their relationship and his mum too. Oh God.
“Kat?” my mum said, interrupting
me from my thoughts.
“Yeah”.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, what was your previous
question?”
“Have you met his parents before?”
she asked.
“Yeah, I had dinner with them
once”, I said and she nodded her head.
“I hope they liked you”.
“I should think so”, I said, remembering
how horrible I felt that day.
“How’s work?”
“It’s great”
“And now that your boss is your
boyfriend, I hope you won’t change your attitude towards work?”
“Of course, I won’t mum”.
“Good”.
We kept on talking and we were
done with the dishes, we joined them in the living room.
Noah was laughing really hard
when we walked in.
“Wow, what’s cracking you up like
that?” I asked him.
“Your sister is so hilarious. You
should really tap into it”, he said to me and I glared at him.
“Can you please drop me off at
school?” Lucy asked Noah.
“Lucy?” my mum called out.
“I want everyone to see my sister’s
boyfriend and see that he’s the Governor’s son. I want to brag too, they’ve all
been bragging about everything and I always have nothing to brag about”, she
said and we all glared at her except Noah of course. Everything was funny to
him.
“Don’t worry Lucy, I will and I’ll
even walk you to class. But I’m not doing that for you to brag. You don’t owe
anyone anything; you don’t have to brag to them about anything. Your beauty and
intelligence already speaks for you” Noah said to her and she smiled.
“Thank you Noah. You’re the best”,
she said and she hugged him.
After sometime, Noah and I decided
to take our leave.
During our ride in the car, he
tried to crack me up but I was just not in the mood.
“What’s wrong with you Kat?” he
asked.
“Our new relationship?” I said
and his face changed.
“You don’t want to be in a relationship
with me? And I’m really sorry for putting you in a tight spot. If you don’t
want it, I won’t put pressure on you”, he said.
“It’s not that Noah. Of course I want
to be in a relationship with you. It’s just that I won’t be able to stand it
when it becomes public and people start prying”.
“Oh Kat, I’ll make sure we keep
it as private as possible”.
“It’ll still get out. People will
talk, you know that”.
“So what do you want me to do?”
he asked.
“I don’t know. I guess I’ll have
to just face it”.
“We’ll face it together and I promise
to control the press too”, he said and I smiled.
“Thank you Noah”, I said, placing
my hands on his and he took it and held it tight.
When we arrived at our apartment,
he walked me to mine and we said our goodnight and he left.
Everything just felt like a
dream. God, I thank you so much for making me happy.

“Noah, stop it. I don’t want to
hear anymore”, I said laughing.
Noah was sitting in my office and
he was telling me about the silly things that happened to him when he was
little.
“Okay, last one”, he said and I shook
my head.
“Noah, no. if you continue, I won’t
be able to finish up with what I have to do”, I said to him.
“Okay, I’ll be quiet and watch
you work”.
“No, go to your office. I won’t
be able to concentrate with you here”, I said to him and he was grinning.
“You can’t stop thinking about
me, huh”, he said, lifting his brows and I laughed.
“Noah, I was told that I will
find you here”, someone said and we both looked at the person, surprised.
“Dad” he said and my face
changed.
My worst night mare just began.
