Noah: in your eyes

47 — Noah Foster

“Yeah, I’ll let you lead the way

'Cause I'm not thinking straight

My head is spinning, I can't see straight

What are you waiting for?”

Love me like you do — Ellie Goulding

I chose to let Nina enjoy a moment alone with our boy, I realized how upset she is by the thought that we won't be able to have him with us. Little does she know that I'm already pulling the strings, I wish I could tell her about the house, however, I won't ruin the surprise.

I decide to take a shower while Nina is with Ty, however, before I can finish my shower calmly, my cell phone starts ringing incessantly.

But what the hell!

Whoever it is will have to wait.

— Baby, Gael is calling you. In fact, you just sent a message.

— See what he sent, please?

— Here he says he needs your help, that Erik ok there drunk.

— Did he say where they are?

— Either I didn't understand, or you didn't tell me something.

— As? — I ask, going to find her with a towel wrapped around my waist.

— It says they are in your flat. —She arches an eyebrow.

— And I have a.

— And you didn't think it was important to tell me? Anyway, get dressed, I'll come with you. After all, Erik needs help, then you'll have a few hours to explain everything to me.

— You can let me go alone. — Yes, I'm terrified of what she might see there.

How could I forget that shit flat !

— Is there something there that I can't know, Noah Foster? I think we've failed enough trying to hide things from each other, so I'm going with you. I'll wait for you downstairs.

She leaves, leaving me completely stunned. However, she is right, if we had been honest with each other from the beginning, none of this would have happened. I failed by not telling about Otávio, just like she, who didn't tell me about the messages, we both made a mistake, however, by telling about my flat , which ended up becoming the place for my friends to party, didn't even cross my mind.

I need to call Gael and see what the situation is in that place. Fuck! That pest took my cell phone with it!

Bowl more than screwed!

I hastily put on a sweatshirt, leaving my room to go after that stubborn woman, praying that it's just the two of us there.

As I passed the room, I bumped into my father.

— What is it, son?

— Does Nina live?

— I said I would wait for you in the garage. I didn't know they were going out today.

— We weren't going to, but she ended up seeing a message from Gael, anyway, I didn't tell her about the flat and now I'm fucked.

— Good luck, boy! Will need! — laughs in my face.

— You don't yes helping me, dad!

— Welcome to the life of a married man! Never forget what I'm going to tell you now — he puts his hand on my shoulder —, never hide something from your wife, that will give you good nights on the couch.

— Damn! Let me go after her!

— Go there! The office couch isn't uncomfortable,” he whispers, while frowning at him.

I break out in a cold sweat, I just hope there won't be any embarrassing scenes when we get there. My heart starts to palpitate. What the hell!

I see the SUV door open and J. ready, I go there and get into the vehicle, sitting next to my wife.

— Did you take my cell phone?

— Aham.

— Can you give it back to me?

— No. I want to know what shit I'm going to find there and why you never told me about that place.

— Since we've been together, I've never been there again, in fact, at first it was just a place where I went to cool off, alone. The guys would meet me there for a drink and, I won't deny it, we've taken a few women there. But that was all before the two of us were together — I clarify, as we cross the streets towards that perdition.

— Uhm, yes good.

— Mr. Foster, if you allow me, I can investigate the situation before you go up — J. informs.

—Nothing like that, I’m the one who’s going to put order in that whorehouse! — Catarina warns in a deadly voice and I simply cringe.

Yes, right now I'm a fucking coward afraid of being without the woman I love!

It took us some time to get to the parking lot. flat and I'm like a scared dog, with my tail between my legs.

What the hell!

Okay, that's not me in that area, but it's my place! Thinking that I plan to surprise her with a wedding in a month and a half, this shouldn't be happening.

I'm pissed off just imagining that she might think about leaving me at the altar.

Inferno!

— Are you going to stay there, or are you going to accompany me? — I see Nina standing next to my door.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't even notice she had come downstairs.

— Come on — I say, breathing heavily.

We went up to the roof, I thought and tried to come up with something to say or explain to her, but nothing seemed to be enough.

— Good evening, can you tell Gael that we’ve arrived? — I ask one of the security guards at the door.

—Nothing like that, get out of the way! You need a woman who can sort out all this mess!

— Miss — the security guard clears his throat — I think it's best for you to wait here.

Nina locks eyes with mine and at the same moment I tell the security guard that everything is ok and we are going in.

However, she stops me, before pushing the door open.

— We will resolve this situation, but right now, I am possessed with jealousy, so don't you dare get in my way.

— Baby, I just hope you believe me.

— Okay. — The door suddenly opens and I can only think that I'm in more trouble than I imagined.

Holy crap! Did it have to be the same girls from last time?

The brunette approaches me, totally naked.

— Did you miss me, hottie?

— Get away from my man, in fact, take the damn clothes I hope you have and get out of here, you slut!

— Oh, I thought he brought you for party too — the brunette responds.

— Look, you better do what my wife is asking — I reinforced the order Nina gave.

However, contrary to what I imagined, the crazy woman approaches, trying to rub her naked breasts against me.

Cum! Cum! Fucking hell!

— Noah Foster, we'll talk about this when we get home. — Catarina glares at me.

— Yes love.

— Love scammed you! Gael, Erik! — goes screaming around the place.

I follow her closely until she opens the door and finds a huge orgy — three girls and Dom — and a totally exhausted Erik.

— Cum! Get dressed,” I warn the guys, then turn to the girls. — And, you guys, get out of here, the party is over!

I hear some grumbling, but I ignore it, heading next door, checking to see if my friend is there.

— Gael — I call him.

— Hey dude? I need help with Erik, since Dom is taking out all his frustration on the girls.

— Dude I Bowl... — before I can complete, I hear some screams coming from the room.

— Fucked, holy shit! Did Nina come along? — he asks.

— She saw your message and, pro My bad luck, I hadn't told her about this place.

— Dude, you have a serious communication problem, you need to resolve this in a sincere conversation.

— I know, but now we need to see what's going on.

We left the room to find Nina fighting with another blonde.

— Let go of me, you bitch. If you came here, it's because you want to participate in the party — the girl vents her fury on Nina.

— He arrives. — I hug Nina from behind. — She's not worth it, my love.

— Love? I can't believe you got involved in this unsalted thing! I bet she can't do the job.

— Noah, let me go and I'll show her who the unsalted one is here!

And in one quick movement, Nina literally grabs the woman by the hair, making her scream in pain. I know it's not right, but I'm holding myself back from laughing, however, the scene makes my idiot friend burst out laughing.

— My hair! — the blonde whimpers!

— Get out of here now and don't you dare come near my man, or I'll rip the rest of the hairpiece off that useless head — Catarina threatens.

— Gael, take these girls to reception, for God's sake!

— Ahh, I was about to order some popcorn!

— The show is over! Go there and come back so we can see Erik's situation!

With a lot of effort we got the girls out, with the help of Dom, who managed to recover in a timely manner, while our other friend remains in an alcoholic coma.

I really hope my angel listens to me when we get home.

Two damn days where my wife is avoiding me and still making me sleep on the couch. I preferred not to go pro Tyler's room this time, afraid that he would realize that we weren't okay, because in front of him Nina continues as if nothing had happened. However, I need to put an end to this coldness that has crept into our relationship.

And here, admiring my office view of Central Park, I think that since the guys contributed to the mess that's screwing up my relationship, the least they can do is help me with this. I even have the first plan, a candlelit dinner. I will be the prince that she, as my princess, deserves.

I pick up the phone and dial my assistant's extension.

— Speak, son — Norah says, after answering.

— Can you come over here? I'm in need of help.

— Clear. — Turns off.

In a few moments, she opens the door.

— How can I help you, my son? — Her affection touches my heart, I hope I can call her mother soon.

— Sit down. You realize that Nina is giving me the cold shoulder, don't you?

— Yes, but from my point of view, she is not completely wrong. — Hold back your laughter.

— I know, however, she didn't even give me the opportunity to explain myself. — Sigh.

— My boy, we women need to calm down a little before having conversations like that. I know this because, in her place, I would do the same thing.

— Ok, I already understand that, but I want to organize dinner tonight for her. I thought about taking her to the Hamptons, but I'll save that for some weekend.

— I believe we can organize something beautiful in our garden, what do you think?

— Exactly that, I could see it in a restaurant or buffet ? I've already arranged the waiters.

— What do you mean, waiters?

— Gael, Dom and Erik, it was thanks to them that there was all that mess, so the least is to help me with this.

— Okay, besides, what do you think about buying her a dress, shoes and jewelry and leaving it with a note?

— Great, can you see this for me? I choose the jewelry, the dress can be red, and long, and shoes to match. I trust you.

— Leave it alone, my boy! And don't worry, this is just an annoyance, which will soon pass.

— Thanks.

— Take advantage and call the boys. — I confirm with a gesture, as she returns to her table.

This will be the first meeting of many that I will give her. In a way, I still need to be grateful for all that mess, or again I would have forgotten how much I want to conquer my blue angel every day.

I call Dom's number, the most sensible of them, for now.

— What's up, Noah? Is Nina still giving you the cold shoulder? — mocks.

— Yes and giving me blue balls. I'm being successfully ignored, the only time she seems calm is when we're with Ty.

— Crap! Flowers and chocolates?

— I already tried and she just told me that she's still angry and doesn't want to talk. However, I'm having dinner today, like a date, and I need you. After all, you got me into this trouble.

— I'm going to help you because, for me, there is no longer one without the other, take advantage of the fact that I woke up a little sentimental today.

— It gave for to perceive. But you will be the waiters of the night.

— Just in swim trunks and a bow tie?

— Don't even think about it, or we'll end our friendship here.

— Okay, calm down. You guys need to get things sorted out soon, if I'm not mistaken, the social worker's visit is in the next few days, right?

— Exactly, on Monday, that is, I have the weekend to fix this shit.

— So, you need to be okay with each other, or everything could go wrong.

— Cum! I know. — I run my hand through my hair. — I can't imagine him being taken from home.

— Let me organize everything with Erik and Gael for tonight — he reassures. — Call Lynn and ask her to distract Nina.

— Great, I'll do it. We'll meet later, talk to Norah about the exact time.

— Right, but one day I will demand that.

— The day you will be the one sleeping on a sofa? — I ironize.

— Never.

— We'll see, my friend! I want to be there, when one by one of you fall to your hands and knees.

— Bye, I have to prepare to be a waiter.

— Don't forget that this is your fault too!

— Noah, if you two talked openly for a few minutes, the situation wouldn't be so complicated. I believe they may have already told you this, but dialogue in a relationship is necessary.

— Yes in a relationship and didn't tell? — I decide to change the focus.

— Goodbye for you. — Turns off.

Truly, I will have the pleasure of seeing one by one of my friends surrender to love. I believe the next one will be Erik, but this one, if it's for love, will be lucky.

I sent a message to Nina during the afternoon, however, she only viewed it and didn't respond. With that, I think dinner will be my best chance to apologize to you and also to have a frank conversation.

I know there is no doubt about our feelings, however, I put myself in his shoes after that episode and realized that if it had been the other way around, I would definitely be furious. Now I'm here, in the pool house, getting ready for a date with the woman I love and, more to the point, an apology.

I break out into a cold sweat, just in case she tells me there's no going back.

— Hey, man. — Erik calls me. — Don't worry, there isn't any girl who wouldn't surrender to a garden with so many flowers and a date like this.

— Well, the point is that she's not just any girl, she's the one who doesn't follow standards, understand?

— Well, the attempt is valid, whatever happens, we'll go for a serenade.

— And may I know why, suddenly, you are in this anxiety with me?

— Simple, Nina has already joined the class — Dom says, upon joining us.

— And Gael’s ass yes where?

— He was responsible for bringing our maiden.

— “Wow” is awesome, Erik!

— Okay, okay, I stopped! — Raise your hands in defense. — Come on, we'll serve you, sir! — he mocks, bowing.

— Clown! — I give him a light slap on the head.

We head to the garden, where there is a table set, worthy of a princess setting and, in the background, ambient music. Everything is extremely impeccable, I can say that I have a great team of cupids with me, especially Norah.

Now all I can do is wait for my princess.

I walk from one side to the other, about to make a hole in the ground, with my anxiety at an incalculable level. I wonder if the surprise wedding will be a good thing, if she, instead of saying yes, won't turn her back and leave. I get lost in a thousand and one probabilities of what could go wrong.

— Method.

— What the fuck!?

— We just played the song Ty picked for you. — The garden is rocked by melody Fresh Eyes, Andy Grammer.

So suddenly I'm in love with a stranger

Then suddenly I'm in love with a stranger

I can't believe that she's mine

I can't believe she's mine

Now all I see is you with fresh eyes, fresh eyes

Now all I see is you with new eyes, new eyes

So suddenly I'm in love with a stranger

Then suddenly I'm in love with a stranger

I can't believe that she's mine, yeah

I can't believe she's mine, yeah

And now all I see is you with fresh eyes, fresh eyes

And now all I see is you with new eyes, new eyes

I turn towards the house and see her, beautiful, a princess, in her long red dress, ready to give me a heart attack.

Holy shit!

This woman is my ruin.

— Are you going to stay there, standing like an idiot? —Erik grumbles next to me.

— Go on man, go get your wife — Dom encourages, indicating Nina, who comes arm in arm with Gael.

And I go, she's mine, my fucking undoing!
