A Broken Angel - a Lisa Cimorelli story

Noah Castle

2 months later:

LISA:

I was sat at home in the room alone when the doorbell rang, it had been 2 months since the stabbing and I was slowly getting better, i slowly opened the door and was greeted with a beautiful smile from a handsome man, he looked about my age and was dressed in a smart uniform so I can call him a man.

He told me his name was Noah Castle and that he had just moved across the street and was wondering if anyone could help him move his belongings from his car, I called Michael downstairs and he was more then happy to help, also seeing as I was getting better i agreed to help him with the small things. I won't lie I couldn't stop staring at him, he was gorgeous ,he had bright blue eyes with light brown hair and wore glasses. I asked about himself where he was from ,where he worked .

He told me he had only moved street and he had always lived here in Malibu and he told me that he was a trainee teacher and the only reason he was wearing a suit was because his ex girlfriend had burnt all of his clothes and left the suit.

I laughed, he asked me about myself but I didn't have time to answer as Michael shouted " are you to going to help or not"

I was trying to lift something into a cabinet when I collapsed in pain, being the gentleman he was Noah rushed over to me and asked I was alright, i decided to tell him about the stabbing and he told me to not lift anything that high or heavy again.

After 1 hour we had got everything into his place so Michael left us to unpack it, Noah said I didn't have to help him but I insisted.

He then asked a question about the stabbing and asked if he could look at the scar, I looked at him with a confused expression on my face and then he showed me a scar on the side if his stomach, he told me had been in a knife attack a couple if years ago and he always liked to compare scars.

I laughed and decided to show him.

He gently glided his hand across it asking if it hurt, I said only if there's pressure on it.

He then asked me if the attacker had been caught, I wanted to say yes but unfortunately my attacker was still out there, I didn't tell Noah about my past and what had happened when I was 15 but I felt like he was the only person I could really trust.

When we finished unpacking he walked me back over to my house, just as I was walking up the steps he called me and asked if I would like to go out sometime, I said sure I'd love to.
