Chapter 175: CAN WE BE LIKE BEFORE?
"Yes, Mr Noah? What did you want to talk to me about?" Dove asked standing In front of him. And now that they were here, Noah felt his throat go dry. "It is actually about..." Suddenly, he couldn’t find right words, and his closed and opened his mouth like a goldfish.
Dove nodded her head, and waited for him to speak, but even after some thirty or so seconds passed, but he was still hesitating.
Dove pressed her lips feeling a little impatient and said, "Mr Noah,-" But before she could say anything, Noah cut into her words and taking a deep breath said, "Dove, I don’t know how to say it, but," Dove frowned and after a few seconds said, "Mr Noah, either you decide first, if you want to say it now or not. And if you don’t want to, please let’s talk another time. I have to go home to, and I am already late."
And just when she turned, Noah blurted out, "Dove, can we be like before?"
Dove who had already turned around to walk away, halted, her eyes slowly going wide as she processed what she just heard.
Then slowly turned around, she looked at Noah with a stunned expression and said in a loud whisper, "What- What did you say?"
Noah gulped, before he slowly said in a soft voice, "Dove, can we be like before?"
This time, Dove chuckled and blinked her eyes a couple of times. "What did you say? Like before?"
Seeing her react in that way, the little hopeful smile that had appeared on Noah’s face vanished again, as he sensed the subtle mocking tone in her voice.
He had been wanting to say this all this time, infact, for years. But he never got the guts. But today, he finally found the courage and asked her. And now he couldn’t go back.
