CHAPTER 18- THE WORDS
FLORA'S P.O.V
A MONTH AND A HALF LATER….
My cast was being taken off today and to say I was ecstatic would be an understatement. Not being able to do anything properly was like torture, especially having a shower.
I walked into the hospital with Noah’s hand in mine and my mum on the other side of me, walking. We got into the elevator and onto the third floor that had an ortho-fracture clinic.
~~~~~~~~~~~
After the cast had been taken off, we went to the car and I went with Noah while my mum went home in her own car. We had plans today, Noah and I.
We were going to the same coffee shop that we had met in and he looked nervous since we had seen each other in the morning and still is now.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him in the car whilst he was driving.
“Nothing.” He replied. Yes, Noah can hear now and he did cry the first time he heard his mothers voice and everyone, even the doctor was in tears. And I can clearly talk now, which I’ am thankful for.
I think the time I felt the most light was when I told Noah about my dad. He had to know; he eventually was going to find out anyways so why not tell him? I have a lot of other things that I have to tell Noah as well, like how much I am in love with him but telling him that would take o much courage that I don’t think I had enough of yet.
We sat in silence while Noah drove to the coffee shop and we got out when he had parked in front of it. I walked to the door and Noah followed and we got inside, sitting at a table in the corner.
“Do you want anything?” Noah asked and the weather was slightly chilly so why not a hot chocolate?
“A hot chocolate please.” I said and he smiled nodding and going to the cashier.
He returned after a while with two beverages in his hands, he handed one to me and kept the other to him self. I took a sip and quickly spit it out. Too hot!
“What happened?” Noah asked in a concerned voice but I could sense the smile in his voice.
“Too hot.” I said whilst fanning my tongue with my hand and heard Noah chuckle. After we drank our drinks in silence, Noah looked extremely nervous, more than he had before and sweat was beading down his forehead.
“Are you okay?” I asked and he nodded and looked up at me with determination in his eyes.
“I have to tell you something Flora.” He said.
“What is it?” I asked, feeling anxious to hear what was making him this nervous.
“I have been wanting to tell you this for a very long time and this is the reason why I brought you to this coffee shop. This is the first place we met and I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend here as well but it just wasn’t possible at the time and I wanted to do this when you could tell me your answer and me being able to hear it. Flora?” He asked.
“Yes?” I replied in a whisper, tears forming in my eyes, is this it? Was he going to say it before me?
He grabbed both of my hands in his, looking at me with worried eyes and,
“I’m in love with you.”
