37. Impromptu Visit

★JANIE★

|Two months later|

It's been two months since I escaped from Luciano's den. Two months since Noel's father rescued me by the roadside and brought me home to his beautiful family.

The Culkin's.

Ever since then, I have been the most delighted girl to walk on the surface of the earth. The Culkin family has been nothing short of sweet to me. They now took me as one of theirs, and Chelsea was starting to relate to me well as an older sister she never had. On the other hand, Noel and I shared our first kiss three days ago.

It was heartwarming,

Although I don't know if I have feelings for him yet, I could tell that he was already head over heels for me. But what hurt the most was the fact that— he would be returning to college soon. He stayed a bit longer because his father incurred a bullet wound during a shootout while chasing a criminal. Apparently, Noel had to stay back to support his fragile-hearted Mom and his sweet little sister. He had to act as the man of the family until his father recuperated from surgery.

And I was there to support him through all the emotional breakdowns. Perhaps, that explained why his feelings for me stirred up so fast.

Thankfully the trial and tribulations phase plaguing their family was gradually wearing off. His father was now healed from the wound and he could move about his daily activities. Whereas, Chelsea has also progressed from using a wheelchair to crutches. She could haul from point A to B without any assistance. And their mother was the most excited one in the family.

Presently, Mr Alan, his wife, and Chelsea were out camping. Considering the ordeal they just went through and how long they had fun, they decided to go camping, while Noel and I turned down the offer.

I preferred to spend the weekend in Noel's arms and make the most of our moments together until he returned to school.

Another icing on the cake has to be the fact that my 20th birthday was tomorrow. Noel and I spent the entire day, baking a cake and making out in the kitchen. When we were done, we went to our various rooms to have our bath, and now, we were seated in the lounge, watching; The Vampire Diaries.

"Why does Bonnie have to die for Jeremy?" I complained, tearing up for the umpteenth time, while Noel handed me a tissue.

Taking it from him, I wiped my tears but ended up sobbing more. “You should have told me the vampire diaries was a truckload of tears, so I'd brace myself. Now I can't stop crying and I can't stop watching either."

Noel chuckled at my reaction and I tossed him a glare. "It's not funny. She has been so selfless from the start of the series, look at her pretending like she isn't dead to Elena and Caroline. Why, just why?"

Still chuckling, Noel pulled me close to him. “Don't worry. I assure you Bonnie's death will come in as normal from now on. She is going to die countless times, but still, she will keep coming back. Since it's your first time watching the series, I'm sure your emotions will be pretty much triggered." He cooed softly as his hand smoothed my hair.

"I hate Damon so much." I asserted this time. My voice broke with tears and Noel handed me another tissue. "He thinks the world revolves around him. How can he be so selfish, so aimless, and tactless? How can he be doing things to the detriment of his brother? Stefan has done nothing to hurt him."

"Stefan was the one who changed him, remember? He has borne that grudge for centuries and also promised to make his life a living hell."

I narrowed my teary eyes at his face. "So are you justifying his stupid actions? The thirst for blood, the incessant killings, and the way he keeps shoving his ass in everyone's business?" I queried distastefully.

"No, I'm not." Noel gathered me close in his arms. "You have to keep watching the series then you will see a lot of things unfold. Perhaps you might shift your blame away from Damon and learn to love him."

"Never!" I spat. "I can never like him or Klaus, maybe Rebekah."

A small smirk splayed across Noel's lips. "You know, Damon is the villain everyone later gravitates towards. Just like I'm gravitating toward you, but the only difference is that you are not a villain."

I pretended to retch. "Ugh, that sounds so cheesy."

Noel and I laughed so hard, then we held each other's gazes. His hot breath fanned against my face as he stared intently into my eyes before claiming my lips.

My stomach tightened but in a good way. The kiss was sweet, fluffy, and not as possessive as the way Luciano's. Although it didn't consume me, I liked it.

My heart beat thumped faster as Noel's hand glided underneath my cotton shirt and his fingers teased my tit.

An involuntary moan escaped my lips.  I threw my head back on the couch and then tightened my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss.

Unlike Luciano, Noel was a light kisser. He gently coerced me into opening my mouth as his tongue frolicked into my wanting mouth and he tasted every inch of me.

"I like you so much, Janie." He whispered into my ear after pulling away from the kiss.

I flushed. My cheeks turned red and I was basking in the affection and attention he tossed my way.

But then I felt something wet on my pants, so I quickly pulled away. Maybe it could be that time of the month again, I thought to myself.

Ugh! Period problems!

"Is something wrong?" Noel asked me. His concerned eyes searched mine, but I shook my head.

"No, I'd like to check something in my room," I said shuffling to my feet. “Give me a moment, I'll be right back."

As I traced my way back to my room, I couldn't help but feel giddy at the thought of Noel's fluttering kisses. Maybe, just maybe if he asked me to be his girlfriend tomorrow, I might accept.

After all, I had nothing to lose.

He cherished me so much and has done nothing in the past months other than make me feel special and desired.

Noel was everything I needed in my life; A caring friend, a loving boyfriend, and a companion whom I could lay off my worries.

Grinning from ear to ear, I pressed down on the doorknob. And just as I flipped on the switch, my room illuminated with radiance and I saw someone I thought I'd evaded for a long time.

The only person who could make my eyes widen in terror.

My heart plummeted into my stomach as blood drained from my face.

Luciano.

He  sat down on the lone chair in my room, his dark eyes pierced into mine and a devilish smirk crept to the corners of his lips as he stated;

"Long time no see, Mia damigella."
