The Cold Mask

Chapter 23

Noah POV

I started coughing hysterically not knowing if it was caused by her words or by the image that crossed my mind

Her laying on the bed with her curly hair sprawled everywhere and me kissing the 'tingle' away

I never been that guy who didn't think but in his south mind

I have a really strong self control

But clearly not with my princess

"Oh God!!" I said when my episode of coughing stopped and saw her still looking at me with her innocent hazel eyes expecting me to nourish her eagerness to knowledge

It's like I went in the time when a 6 years old Sam asked me when he saw a pregnant women "how did the kid went in there?"

I was looking at her just the way I looked at him

"Uhhh.. you know it's... uhh" it was the same answer but the difference is that my mother spared me back then and told him it's a gift from God

But what should I tell a turned on Cataleya?

"You're turned on" I blurted out without thinking and winced when I realised what I did

She looked at me for a couple of seconds then said "when we were stuck in the college freezer you got angry when I asked you what did turned on mean because the minister said that, so what I felt is wrong should I talk about it with Dr.Cristiano?"

Fuck my life

"I didn't say that?" It came out more than a question than an answer

I was never good under pressure

"I have a photographic memory" was her simple response that made me shut my mouth

I sigh big time and thought about my next word "look the situation is different back then that asshole of a minister wanted to get in your pants and you didn't but now if you wanted that from me I wouldn't mind" I laughed wanting the atmosphere to be lightened

Forgetting that Cataleya's didn't always understand jockes especially mine

She opened her mouth to ask something but the ringtone of her phone interrupted her

And I think I thanked God more than anytime in my entire life

Now I know my father is really watching me from up there

"Mario" she acknowledge him and to think I first hated her because I thought she didn't respect her father and was so full of herself

But there was something in his eyes when she called him his name

Did he want ...

No I don't think so

"Ok I will go" her sweet voice got me out of my thoughts to see her ending the call with a small "good bye" and looking at me "we have to go Mario wants me to go with him to his Company's annual Ball"

"I will go call Cristiano to check on you before we go" I told her getting on my legs

"It's not my first time I got a seizure I am fine I just got one the night of your match"

I looked at her choked and confused

She didn't come because she had a seizure??!!

"What do you mean" I asked her surprised and honestly upset with myself because I thought she was fooling around with Cristiano

Is there anything else I should know? Was I that blind to not know about anything?

"I will tell you later we have to go I have to get ready" I wanted to object and demand the whole truth but she was already out of the door
