Silk & Shadows

Chapter 2. The Whisper Game

                                                                              NOAH'S P.O.V

"Good morning, Amour. Did you sleep well?"

I heard and my eyes nearly popped out by just looking at the sight in front of me.

There he was 'The Ocean-Blue eyes'. Oh wow, what a nickname, thanks to Taylor Swift for her lyrics. I came out of my thoughts as I realized I was ogling him.

"Done eye-fucking me?" he asked with an oh-so devilish smirk. I averted my gaze toward something else and cleared my throat and asked in an anger-emerging tone "Where the fuck am I? And who the hell are you?"

"Oh! Rage? That's beautiful, Amour." He said while grinning.

"Would you stop calling me that again and again?"

"NO"

"Why?"

"Because I want to".

And with that, I want to run away from here.

"Anyways, I want to leave right now," I said.

"Sure but let's grab our breakfast first". He said in a serious tone. I decided not to argue anymore.

I followed him as he was directing me on the way to the dining room and I realized I didn't even know his name. I asked "What's your name?".

He turned around and looked at me with a smirk, " Curious about me, Amour?" he asked.

I scoffed and replied, "In your dreams!"

I started to enter the dining room pushing him aside but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms, placing his other hand on my waist and both my palms were placed on his chest unintentionally. I was so lost in him that I could stay forever.

We stood there for a few more minutes and I could see his features closely, messy hair, ocean-blue eyes, perfectly carved jawline, and kissable lips. I was tempted.

He slowly started getting close to me and in anticipation, I closed my eyes and he whispered in my ear while his hot breath fanned over my neck, "Alex Martin. My name. Or you can call me yours." And I could feel my heart racing, probably he could hear my heartbeats too. I immediately backed off, looked at him and said "CREEP!"

He was laughing at my behavior and asked "Won't you tell me yours?"

While settling on the chair I said, "Noah Laurent." he hummed in response.

                                                                      AUTHOR'S P.O.V

Both of them settled on chairs and the maids started serving them breakfast. Noah was scared and nervous at first but soon she was comfortable with the environment and Alex.

"How did I end up in your house? Care to explain?" she asked while breaking the silence between them.

"You were drunk last night and you picked a fight with the bartender." He replied while taking a bite of croissant.

"And how was that your business?" She asked.

"Because you fainted on me." He answered.

"Why didn't you book a cab for me then?" She asked out of curiosity.

"Because I don't know where you live." He said coldly.

"Then why didn't you drop me in a hotel room?" She asked in an irritating tone.

"And Why the hell would I spend my precious money on you?" He said.

She scoffed and replied, "Okay I am not arguing with you anymore!" and then he gave her a wicked smile.
