Chapter 49
The minute we entered the room the whole mood changed. It was tense and seemed to be charged with energy. His hand grasped mine tightly. My stomach churned a little bit. I was meeting his parents for the first time. As we sat down at the table, I saw Michaela sitting across from me. Oh no. Not this bitch. My fingernails dig into my palms.
"Hello Mr. Williamson, Hello, Mrs. Williamson, it's a pleasure to meet you," I greet them. They look at me with stone cold faces. Their lips are stretched into a thin line, and their faces are filled with disapproval. My heart sinks.
"Who is this," His dad gestures to me.
"You will give her some respect. Her name is Shanaya, and she is my girlfriend," Noah stares defiantly into his father's eyes. His thumb rubs circles on the back of my hand.
"Please, don't argue," His mother says sternly.
"You may call me Meredith, dear." She says to me, her voice weak and tired.
"Mother, what happened to you?" Noah asks, concerned.
"I'm very ill, dear. I'm not going to get better." His hand grasps his mother's. I feel so bad. Michaela clears her throat.
"Hello, Shanaya, how are you?" She sneers at me. I take a deep breath. Nope, not going to pummel this bitch.
"Hey Michaela. It's great to see you again. I'm doing well, how are you?" I ask her, trying not to let my irritation seep through. She curls her lip in disgust. We start eating. His dad dumps a large piece of chicken on my plate.
"I'm very sorry sir, but I'm a vegetarian." I say, embarrassed.
"What?" he roars.
"You're picky about the food you eat?" He yells.
"I'm sorry sir. But I cannot eat meat." I tell him firmly, looking him in the eyes. His face is completely red. His mother's arm goes to his father's arm.
"It's alright dear, let me get you another plate."
"Meredith, please don't worry about it, I'll get a plate." She sits back down and Noah shows me where the plates are.
"I'm so sorry Shanaya." he whispers, his eyes full of regret.
"Noah, their behavior is not your fault." I tell him, and he hands me a plate. We sat back down at the table.
"Son, we called you here today, because we want you to marry Michaela." I almost spit out my food.
"What? I'm not marrying her. She is a racist, ignorant bitch, and I will not spend my life with her." Noah seethes, speaking in a deadly tone.
"Yes, you will."
"No I won't. You don't have any control over me anymore. I am not marrying her." Noah yells at his dad.
"Robert, please, if he doesn't want to marry her, let it be." He slaps Meredith. No way am I going to tolerate this. I give Noah a look. I'm pissed now. He doesn't say anything.
"Do not touch her!" Noah yells at his dad. His dad sit's back down, and I rush and get his mother an ice pack. A bruise is already forming quickly. What a total asshole.
"Noey, let's get married!" Michaela says, completely ignoring the situation, and fluttering her eyelashes. I'm so pissed. Who the fuck does this bitch think she is. She looks like she's having a fucking seziure. And Noey? What kind of trash nickname is that?
"I wouldn't marry you if you were the last woman on earth, Michaela." He spits at her. Her face contorts in anger.
"Robert, did you see the way he talked to me? He's sitting here with this colored bitch-" I slap her across the face.
"Call me that one more time, and I'll show you what a bitch really looks like." I venomously say.
His dad grabs my wrist and squeezes it. I try to pull it out, but he squeezes it harder. I yelp. Tears come into my eyes because of the pain. Noah punches his dad in the face.
"Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on my girlfriend. I'm only here because of mom. I hate you." He roars at his dad, and he pulls me into him. What a dickhead! How dare he act like that.
"Mom, I'm sorry but I have to leave." Noah says and storms out of the house with me.
"FUCK!" He screams and runs his hands through his hair.
"Noah, calm down-"
"Don't fucking tell me to calm down! They want me to marry that bitch Michaela, and expect me to deal with that! One civil dinner! Just one! What the fuck? How dare he lay a hand on you. How dare he." He seethes. I step closer to him.
"Noah, look, I'm fine. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Forgive me for saying this, but your dad is a total asshole and doesn't deserve you." How a person can so mercilessly act, honestly baffles me. How the hell can he treat someone like that? And his mom? I get that she's weak but she doesn't stand up for him at all!
"Yeah, he is!" He agees. He kicks the stairs to their house.
"I'm so sorry, Shanaya. I'm so sorry." He repeats over and over again.
"Hey!" I pull his face into my hands. "Don't you dare apologize for their behavior. They don't deserve you." I told him. He walks inside the car and sits with me.
"I'm so fucking angry at them." His eyes are red, and puffy.
"I know you are Noah. But they don't control you. You are free to go on your own. You didn't have to come to dinner but you came because of your mom. Because you care. Because you are a good person. None of them deserve you, and I'm so proud of you. Thank you for standing up for me." He pulls me into his arms.
"I don't deserve you, Shanaya," He tells me.
"Noah, you deserve everything in the world." I tell him, and his eyes meet mine. His lips touch mine, saying everything he couldn't with words. He pulls away.
"I love you."
"Noah, don't say it because of what-"
"I'm serious Naya. I love you. So goddamn much. "
"Really?"
"I have for a while, I was too pigheaded to realize it. You don't have to say it back-"
"I love you too." I tell him shyly.
He kisses me softly,
"Say it again."
"I love you Noah."
"Again."
"I love you." Kiss.
"I can never get enough of you," he tells me, and I flush and pull away.
"Just drive us home, williamson." I tell him, blushing. He starts driving us to his house.
"Noah, are you sure you're okay?" his hands grip the steering wheel tightly, and his knuckles are white.
"I'm fine, love." I put my hand on his leg.
"I love you." I told him.
"I love you too, baby."
He pulls into his driveway a few minutes later. We walk inside and I take my hair out of a half bun. I shake it out and run my fingers through it.
"You're so beautiful Shanaya."
"You're not so bad yourself, Noah." I tell him with a smile.
"Do you want me to stay over, tonight?"
"Yes."
Noah's POV:
I look at her as she undoes her hair. She is so beautiful. I love her so much.
"Do you want me to stay over tonight?" She asks me.
"Yes." I answered her.
"Do you have something I can wear? Or we can stop by my house-"
"I'll give you something. Come with me." I take her up to my bedroom. I give her one of my shirts, and some boxers and she comes outside. Her face is bare of any makeup, and her skin looks delectable.
"I love you." She tells me. I kiss her deeply. Every time she says it, I want to take her.
"I love you so much." I tell her and kiss her again. She kisses me back with the same ferocity. She pulls away.
"Noah, are you sure you don't want to talk? Don't avoid your feelings."
"Shanaya I'm sure. I promise I'm fine. Can I please kiss you?" She nods her head shyly, and flushes. My hands wander under her shirt, and dance across the sensitive skin of her back. I kiss her neck slowly, and she tugs on my hair, and moans. I feel electric. When I'm with her, I want more. I can't get enough of her. I carry her to the bed, and discard my shirt. Her hands roam my chest. I pin her hands to the bed, and kiss her everywhere.
"I love you so much Noah," She tells me breathily.
"I love you Shanaya." I kiss her earlobe, and down to her collarbone. I feel her shiver underneath me. Her shirt slowly rises up. I kiss her stomach, and her back arches.
"Noah I-" she didn't say anything, her eyes closed. I made my way back to her lips.
"I love you." She pulls away.
"I love you." I told her. We crawl under the covers and she snuggle into my chest, and I wrap my arms around her.
She looks at me.
"Noah, are you sure you're okay?" She asks me, running a hand down my face.
"Just hold me today, okay? Can we please talk tomorrow?" She nods her head and wraps her small arms around me.
I wake up the next morning to see Shanaya on her phone, laughing at something, and my arm is around her waist while she sits up in bed.
"Good morning love," Her eyes darted to me and her face cracked into a bright smile.
"Good morning Noah," she says and pecks my lips.
"What time is it?" I ask her.
"It's almost 6 am. I have to leave here in about 30 minutes, I have to go to school." She explains.
"Love, just take the day off," I groan, wanting to spend time with her.
"Nuh-uh. Besides, we're going to California next week. Nyra's brother's friend is having a launch party. I'm already taking off for next week."
I groan again.
"Am I coming with you to California next week?" I asked her.
"Yep! I have your ticket and everything."
"Naya, if you paid for it-"
"Chill, her brother's friend sent us all tickets, and everything is prepaid. Don't worry." She reassures me.
"Okay, come here. We still have 20 minutes before I drop you."
"You are aware I'm not kissing you until you brush your teeth, right?"
"I hate you." I told her.
"You love me."
"No, I don't." I argue
"That's not what you said last night," She smirks. I roll my eyes, and head to the bathroom.
I brush my teeth and come back outside. She is standing up tying back her short hair, small strands framing her face. My shirt reaches almost until her knees. I smile. She looks even better in my clothes. I creep up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist.
"Hmm, you smell like me, I like that," I tell her and she jumps.
"Dude! You scared the crap out of me! Where did you come from?" She turns around.
"Come on! Let's go eat." She wriggles out of my grasp and drags me down the stairs. She grabs the lucky charms cereal.
"Loading up on sugar first thing in the morning?" I tease.
"Uhh, yeah? How do you think I get all of my energy?" She responds. I laugh. I grab a bowl of cereal and sit down beside her. We quickly finish eating and she gets in my car.
"Noah let's go! I need to get ready!" She calls me. I pretend to walk in slow motion. She stands up and drags me into the car and plops herself in the driver's seat.
"Keys please?" She asks me. I shake my head.
"Okay fine." She pulls me closer to her, and I close my eyes, anticipating her lips on mine, when I see she's stolen them from my hand, and plugged them into the ignition.
"You play dirty." She sticks her tongue out at me in response, and pulls out of the driveway and brings us to her house.
"Are you coming in, or going to work?" She asks me.
"I'll wait for you and drop you to work." I tell her, and smile.
"I love you." She tells me.
"I can never get sick of hearing you say that. I love you too, baby." I tell her, and intertwine our hands.
