My Handsome Adventure

chapter 37

Noah's POV

"Mom I swear this is not like the other times! I really do love her!" I confess burrying my head into my hands, tugging my hair.

"How do you know that?" Mom questions.

"Because..... because I just do!  I can feel it. The feelings I have for her cannot be put into words. She is the only reason that I'm alive right now. She is the reason I live." I look up to my mom's eyes. "I will never stop loving her. She is mine."

Mom does say anything. She gets up from her seat and walks over to me.

She smacks my head lightly. "Haven't I taught you anything? Take her out on a date and tell her all the things you just told me."

I smile hugging her. "You're the best."

"I know." She replies.

Joan's POV

"Cindy! Babe! Happy birthday!" I scream at the laptop screen.

"Ya ya. Now, where's my gift?"

I pull the wrapped gift given by Noah onto my lap.

I speak  doing a dramatic hand  gesture. "Here it is!"

"Oooh that's really big!" She exclaims getting closer to the screen.
"Where'd you get it from?"

"Umm.... Noah...." I reply hesitantly.

Cindy leans back from the screen eyeing me suspiciously. "You're in love with him, aren't you?"

"What!!? Me? Love him!? Pfft noooo way!!" I wave around my hands.

Cindy stares at me intensely without saying a word.
"Yeah I love him.." I sigh admitting.

"Aha! I knew it!" She shouts.
"Well have you told him?"

"Umm we both like each other but haven't said the 'L' word yet."

Cindy looks at me disapprovingly.  "What are you waiting for? Cupid's official letter saying you both are soulmates?"

I just shrug.

"Jo, tell him before it's too late." She advices.

I think for a moment. She is right.
"Anyway enough about me. I'll open the gift for you to see."

"Uh uh. Nope. Don't open. I'll be back next week and I'll open it myself." She says.

Damn ! Now I have to wait a whole week to see what's inside.

But I don't try convincing her. After all it's her birthday.

After talking with Cindy for almost an hour, I switch off the laptop and flop on to the bed rubbing my eyes.

"Jo!! Come downstairs!" Mom calls shaking out my sleepy mood.

"Coming mom!"

I get up and walk downstairs. To find Noah at the door.

"Noah?"

He gives me a charming smile.

"Jo, Noah wants to show you something." Mom says trying to hide her excitement, but it's too obvious.

Okay this too much of smiling from both of them.

"Go on." Mom urges.

I walk to Noah slowly. As I reach close he grabs my wrist and pulls me out of the door.

"Noah what's happening?" I ask.

But he doesn't reply.

"Noah." I call again.

But he doesn't respond. We finally stop at back of a huge truck.

Noah's grin shows no sign of stopping.
He pushes me to the handle of the truck as if telling me to open it.

I turn my attention to the handle and pull it outward opening both of the huge doors.

"No way!" I gasp at the sight in front of me.

I turn to look at Noah but he just stands there nodding his head and smiling.

I look back at the truck and slap my face to make sure I'm not dreaming.

The whole truck is filled with Oreos!! Yes every where I look Oreos. It's like my dream come true. Many are the nights I've slept dreaming about living in an an entire house made of Oreo. Now I can actually do that.

"You are crazy." I tell Noah, not taking my eyes of the cookies.

"For your whisper." He says resting his chin on my shoulder.

"Whisper?"

"Mhm" I reply devouring the sight of cookies.

"Will you go on a date with me?"

I move from his hug. And stare at him with a doubtful expression.

"I mean..uh..only if you want to..." He mutters rubbing his neck.

"Are you kidding me?!! A date?! Screw the date, let's get married right now!!"  I shout out in excitement.

He looks at me with wide eyes and mouth half  open.
That's when it hits me. I just told him to marry me!

"Aaah dumb Jo always ruining things." I scold myself. My cheeks heat up and I bring my hands to cover it.

"Aww whisper is blushing!" Noah says pulling away my hands.

I try to avoid his gaze.

He laughs and hugs me, kissing the top of my head.
"We can get married soon." He says causing me to bury my head into his hoodie.

Once again I pray for time to stand still.
