CHAPTER TWO : LATE NIGHTS AND UNSAID THINGS
The rainy season came quietly that year.
The air turned softer, and the sky always looked like it was thinking of crying. Noah had grown used to our town by then, the uneven roads, the laughter of children by the river, the smell of roasted corn in the evenings.
We had also grown used to each other.
It started with little things.
He’d call me after school to help him grade papers. Sometimes we’d just talk about books, about music, about the strange ache that comes with growing up. He never said it out loud, but I knew he felt it too: that invisible weight of wanting more than the world would allow

He began walking me home sometimes, saying it wasn’t safe to go alone. On those walks, we talked about dreams, his to travel, mine to escape.
> “You’ll leave this town someday,” he told me once, his smile faint but certain.
“And you’ll write about it. You’ll write everything you felt here.”
I laughed quietly. “Including you?”
He stopped for a second, then looked at me the kind of look that speaks louder than words ever could.
Especially me.

There was a night when the rain wouldn’t stop. I was soaked by the time I got to his house an old staff quarters tucked behind the school. He pulled me inside, wrapped a towel around my shoulders, and made tea.
We didn’t talk much. We just sat close, the thunder echoing like a heartbeat. His fingers brushed mine by accident or maybe it wasn’t an accident. The world outside blurred; all I could feel was the quiet pull between us.
I was deeply falling in Love with him and I know he also feels the same way but don't know how to go about it cause the world we live in doesn't tolerate people like us, every time he stares at me I always imagined the day I will be wrapt around his arm kissing his soft lips, it was like he was reading my mind the next minute he grabbed me close to him, his lips locked in mine,his lips was so soft it was everything I imagined it to be, the pleasure was out of this world that was also my first time kissing my gender it was kind of soothing and I enjoyed every bit of it he caressed my body so well, that night was one of the best night I have ever had the way we had s*x was out of this world it was a moment I will always wish for.

When I left that night, the rain had stopped, but the ground still shimmered with light.
Noah stood at the door, watching me walk away.
It was something unspoken, fragile, and infinite.
