It was One Night Only

We were walking around the reception ground greeting everyone who had come and then my leg started to hurt like hell. Back in the car or limo when Noah made that comment I choked on air thereby reducing any sexually or romantically built tension to be reduced into zero.

“My leg hurts” I whispered to Noah when he was walking us over to someone I didn’t know we invited.

“Come let’s get you to sit,” he said and then led me to the couple sit that was prepared for us.

“Thank you,” I say taking a sit and he sits down beside me. I looked around and watched as people interacted. The dance floor was filled with the younger generation dancing to Bruno Mars.

“What the actual fuck” Noah said as his eyes landed on someone. I traced his eye sight to a woman clutching to a man. Her lips were blood red and she just looked like she had sucked a child’s blood. She was elegant though and she walked with grace. She walked towards us and stopped in front of us.

“Congrats,” she said her voice sounding fake just like her face now that I see it up close.

“Thank you Nicole and Jaden,” Noah said his voice sour and sad.

“Thank you,” I say trying to sound normal because right here before us was his ex Nichole, and his best friend Jaden. Looking at her I was no match. How could he even agree to marry plain Jane?

“Who invited you anyway?” Noah said after trying to control himself.

“Your mom,” Nichole said biting her lips. “I see you finally found happiness,” the girl said with a sly expression. Obviously, his mom would have said we were marrying because of a baby so we had this coming.

“Yes and it is a nice happiness,” he said gritting his teeth together.

“I will go talk to the girls,” I said trying to stand up. Noah’s hand shot up to mine and held it to me.

“Stay with me sweets,” he said kissing my hand. He can’t just do that and wake up butterflies. Okay, maybe the baby is just kicking. I saw Nichole’s face turn to a frown as she saw his actions.

Noah needed this support against his ex girlfriend and friend who thinks it’s okay to do this to him and then show up at his wedding.

“Anything love,” I say sitting back down clutching my hand to his and putting up my acting face.

“We brought you a little gift,” Jaden said and I was full of disgust. Best friend my ass.

“You can drop it off where others are,” I say and then face him squarely. “We might get around to it,” I say.

Nichole doesn’t look too pleased with us.

“Do you mind if we have to go for our first couple dance?” I say. Noah nods taking my hand in his and standing up.

When we get to the dance floor the music changes and the dance floor clears.

“Thank you sweet,” he says and I smile at him.

“I’m glad I could save you from that bitch” I said and he frowned. “You still love her don’t you?” I ask and when he nods I feel my ribs strangling my heart. It’s okay he can love anybody. You guys aren’t married because of love.

“I loved her and I still do it’s just that it is slowly going away,” he said and I looked up to see his eyes staring at me.

“You don’t need to explain,” I say slowly and he nods.

“I know that,” he said and his eyes met mine. “But I want to,” he said with a smile.

“After this dance, we cut the cake and we are out of here. You need rest” he said and I frowned.

“Of course not. I have to throw the bouquet and see who gets it” I say and he frowns.

“You need rest,” he says like I’m just a little child who disobeys every time.

“I have been having rest. I need a day off” I say in a joking manner. “Please,” I say and he nods.

“One more hour,” he says like he is granting me a favor.

“Thank you,” I say.

“Anything for you sweets,” he says and I roll my eyes.

We cut the cake and feed each other awkwardly but he seems so fun because he smirks all through my inner torture.

Then I throw the bouquet and Eileen catches it. Jacob comes to her and whispers something into her ears to which she replies with a glare and Jacob backs away from her with his hands in the air.

Noah makes us leave and then we go to the hotel suite. Noah takes me to his hotel suite. He says and I quote ‘We are married aren’t we?’ apparently my suite was booked for three nights and his for five nights so my things were already neatly arranged in his.

“I’m going to change and go to sleep,” I say taking out some clothes from my bag.

“Okay,” he said. “I will just wait for you to be done,” he said as I entered the bathroom. I wiped the makeup off and loosened my hair before putting it into my precious pony tail.

I changed and got out. I saw him sitting by my bed side with a bag. The bag that I had brought from the bikini and lingerie store and he was going through it.

“Noah,” I said and then cleared my throat.

“I’m sorry, I wanted to arrange your clothes in there for you and I came across the bag and I know I shouldn’t have looked I’m sorry,” he said with a pout that was making him adorable. I felt like kissing him because he was looking like a puppy I added the last part to console myself.

“It’s okay,” I say my cheeks burning and turning red. “I will put those away,” I say going closer to him.

“I can do it. Mrs. Lorraine” he said and I felt so conscious that we were wedded. “I’m your husband there is nothing to be shy of,” he said as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“I will go to bed then,” I said dragging myself to the bed.

“I will sing to you,” he said coming closer to me.

“Not necessary,” I said pulling the covers over my body to my chin.

“I’m singing to the baby,” he said touching my belly, and then he did something so awkward. He kissed my belly and a thousand fireworks exploded in my stomach. “Baby Dad and Mom love you so much that they have come together for you,” he said and started singing.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

To be honest I knew what he was singing but somehow my brain was unable to process the melody and lyrics as he was too close to me. Cue the gulping again.

After a while, he stopped and kissed my forehead. “Good night sweets” he mumbled and his presence left me
