What We Couldn't Be

Chapter Three; The Unspoken

Open the door he said while struggling to get it opened himself.

I sat on a neatly dressed bed(with a white flowery bedspread), I gently moved my hands from front to back of my head, like trying to smoothen my hair backwards.

He finally got the door opened and rushed in, holding my hands tightly and trying to get in my face as I bowed down, Elise what's wrong? Talk to me, it's you that I wanted Elise, I wanted you. Noah said with a more quiet voice.

He got me up from the bed, holding my hands as he stared in my eyes and kissed me gently. His hands went through my body, held my face again and kissed me even deeper.

I was confused and devastated, I couldn't resist Noah's romances, my heart didn't accept this but I couldn't help it. Before I could ask him to stop, he had already kissed me, Noah kissed me passionately, holding my face like he had long waited for this to happen. In my silence was a loud scream for Noah to let me go, but my body failed me as I laid my guards.

His warm breath ran through my neck as he sniffed on me, silently whispering in my ears "I love you dearly Elise". I stood there between hope and confusion, so much running through my mind, my heart bit faster and it felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. A feeling I've never had in a while.

Noah gently pulled my dresses and made his way to my body, his hands were all over me as the foreplay became deeper. The pleasures of the moment held me back from resisting his advances.

He held my shoulders and moved me closer to the bed, I felt my legs touching the accessories of the bed from behind. Noah fell me calmly in bed.

The foreplay became even more pleasurable as we both moaned quietly. And then, somehow… we made love. I haven't had the experience of love making in a long time after Noah left me.

I was into some other relationships, but they were platonic and weren't really serious and intimate.

This rejuvenated our feelings for each other, but here is a bigger problem, he's getting married!

Noah headed to the restroom immediately after cuming, soon his phone rang, I thought to check who it was or just stay back. But my curious mind wouldn't let me, so I got the phone and boom! It was Mae calling! I didn't want to pick Noah's calls at first but she kept ringing the phone and Noah was taking longer coming outta the restroom.

I sighed heavily as the phone rang again, this time I picked the call so I may know what her reaction would be.

Me: Hello,

Mae: Who's this! She said as she was bewildered, Hearing a female voice from her fiancés' phone call.

I was quiet and never said anything again, I didn't end the call too but just listened to her.

She kept on asking who it was but I maintained silence, hello, are you there? I'd like to speak with Noah,she reiterated. Oh! He's in the restroom I said, heaved a heavy sigh and hung up.

I sighed too while dropping Noah's phone on the table, I raised my head up and saw him standing by the door staring at me with so many unasked questions.

Who was that? He said while closing the door behind him. What happened? He asked with a more curious face.

Me: I I I, ehm, it was Mae calling. I said as I stuttered.

Noah: And? He asked so I could speak more.

Me: And I picked, I bowed down quietly trying to hide my expression while responding.

Noah heaved a heavy sigh and sat on the bed. He knew Mae would have questions For him to answer.

We both laid on the bed after I had freshened up, my head was on Noah's chest as he surfed the net. Soon, Mae's call came in again, and Noah looked tense already, he looked at the phone's screen and stared at me. I sat on the bed trying to observe what was really going on, arms folded with a stern look at Noah.

He became terrified and confused, you shouldn't have picked up the call Elise, why didn't you wait for me to come out of the restroom?

Mae would have me answer questions, what do I do now? Noah said, brushing his hair backwards with his hands as his fingers ran through his hair.

Mae continued to ring the phone times after time, he gathered some courage and picked up.

Hello Mae, Noah said as if the word jumped outta his mouth and had a lot to say.

And who was she? Mae asked repulsively.

Ahm, look Mae it's not what you think. Noah said with a trembling voice. Mae asked Noah what explanations he has?

How could you do this to me Noah? I trusted you and thought this relationship was going places. I had big dreams and aspirations about how we were going to spend the rest of our lives together!

But you ruined everything Noah! How could you! Mae screamed over the phone with a cracky voice and broke down crying profusely.

Hello, Mae, I can explain! It's not what you think! Noah said hurriedly but the phone was silent as Mae had ended the call.

Noah was engulfed with so much emotions and confusion. He dialed Mae's contact again and she picked after several attempts. "It's not what you think Mae," With a trembling voice, Noah said as he tried to raise his voice a little above normal, with a little rush as he pants.

Expecting a response from Mae, but everywhere became quiet.

Hello Mae, Noah called out, he checked the phone's screen, Mae had hung up the call but he never noticed until the silence.

Noah sat back on the bed.
