I ended up at my sister's hotel instead leaving completely. I had hoped he would call and explain everything. I took some time to realize we weren't really dating, so he and Jade shouldn't bother me. But it did.
He had just called me telling me I needed to go to his match, but I refuse to. I thought he was calling to at least apologize, but no. it's all about image with him. You know what, this is my fault. I should've never gotten with a celeb in the first place.
What the hell was I thinking.
"You seem deep in your thoughts" Noah says as he walks over to me. Noah had flown here since I told him everything with me and my sister. They finally talked it out and decided it was best if they took a break from each other for a while.
At least not a divorce or else Noah was going to end up like the guys at the bar.
"I was just..." "no need to explain, I understand" he says. I look at him and give him a slight smile. He looked down at his watch and saw it was 12 AM. "well, I must get going. I have a meeting early in the morning" he says. We both stood up and hugged each other goodbye. My sister then comes into the room.
She makes eye contact with Noah as he did the same. Noah then clears his throat and walks towards the door but stopping to place a kiss on Nova's forehead. He then left, and the room was suddenly silent.
Noah left the hotel room. The sound of the door closing made Nova break into tears. I rushed to her and hugged her as she slid down on the side of door frame. I sat there with her on the ground, soaking her tears in my shirt.
"I know Nova, I know"
The next morning me and Nova went to a local café and actually had some sister time with each other. As we sat at one of the outside tables, I saw Nova checking her phone. "Did he call?" I ask. She looks up at me and shakes her head before sitting down. "Nova, I think that..." "I'm sorry, Serenity". I was stunned by the sudden apology. "For what" I ask. She starts to tap her cup anxiously as she spoke.
"I'm sorry for all the times I was rude to you and didn't let you live your life how you wanted to. Mom and Dad always told me to look after you and make sure I help guide you through life. I realized that I was too harsh on you and I shouldn't have been. You're a grown women and clearly you seem to be enjoying your life, and I guess I was just jealous that you didn't feel the need to impress Mom and Dad all the time, and I was putting all of my jealously on you".
I look at her, not knowing what to say. "Nova, it's okay. I'm glad you understand now" I say. She gives me a weak smile until her phone dings. She quickly picks it up, but her smile turned into a blank face. She then looks up at me before she places her phone down. "What was it?" I ask. "It was about Zryan's big fight" she says. I suddenly felt my blank face coming onto my face. "I'm sorry about him Serenity" Nova says. "It's fine, it's not like we were actually dating" I say. Nova then looks at my phone and suddenly grabs it. "Hey, what are you doing?" I say as I try to reach for it in her hand. "I'm downloading the app the fight is streaming on" she says. I cock my eyebrow up at her, wondering why she's doing that. "Look Serenity, I know you and Zryan never truly dated, but I know when a man likes a woman. Noah was just like Zryan when I first met him" she says. "Noah? No way" I say.
She nods her head as she continues. "Yup, he wasn't as cocky or much of an asshole as Zryan, but Noah definitely was moody. But I started to notice a change when he was around me. He even told me himself a man like him only change for the ones they love" she says. I can't lie, Zryan became a little more open with me since the first time we met.
"Look Serenity, if you won't go and support him. At least watch" she says as she hands me my phone. I look at it before taking it in my hand.
