Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

The last speech ended just in time for lunch and everybody proceeded towards the dining hall. Throughout the entire time, Mason had tried to talk to Aria and as usual, she had ignored him. She silently had her lunch as she waited for Noah.

As promised Noah arrived exactly at 2.30 and gave Aria a call, which she picked up on the first ring.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Where are you?"

"I am on the second floor. You?"

"I have just arrived."

"Wait a minute. I'll be down." Aria said. She then looked at Stuart, who was standing right in front of her.

"I have to go. My friend has come to meet me."

"No problem. But be careful alright."

"Okay." Aria smiled and her eyes were twinkling.

Mason watched the interaction between Aria and Stuart and he clenched his fist. How he wished to just punch that pretty boy. Who does he think he is to be flirting with Aria?

Aria came at the entrance and saw Noah leaning against his car, busy looking at his phone. Aria looked at his well-defined features and stood mesmerized.

Sensing someone's gaze on him, Noah saw Aria looking at him in a daze. He smirked realizing that Aria was slowly falling for him. His efforts were indeed fruitful. He walked to her and cleared his throat. Yet, Aria did not budge. His smile widened looking at the petite woman's starry gaze. He flicked her forehead, which immediately brought her back to her senses.

"What was that?" Aria asked, rubbing her forehead.

"I should ask you that question. Were you daydreaming?" Noah teased.

"No. No. Why would I daydream?" Aria was thoroughly embarrassed. Her face flushed at once.

"Then what were you staring at for quite some time?"

Aria couldn't meet his eyes. She fidgeted in her place. Looking at her sheepish look, Noah grinned.

"Tell me Aria. What were you looking at?"

"Nothing. Nothing. Anyway, you were talking about some surprises. What is it?" Aria changed the topic. She couldn't let the awkward conversation continue.

"Hmm. Nothing much. I just wanted to take you to watch a movie. Do you want to come?" Noah said as he held her hand.

"A movie?" Aria was surprised. It had been a long time since she had gone to watch a movie in the theaters. During her free time, she could only manage to watch TV for a few minutes.

"Yes. I had some free time. I thought of spending it with you. I thought we could watch a movie." Noah spoke while he led her to his car. Aria's heart skipped a beat when she felt his touch. She was finding it difficult to control her emotions in front of him. She followed him quietly and slipped inside the car, while Noah sat beside her. This time, there was a chauffeur driving the car.

"You?" Aria was dumbfounded. It was the same person who had sat beside her on the plane.

"He is Ronnie. He works for me." Noah said indifferently.

"Hello Madam," Ronnie said politely.

"Hello. You can call me Aria. Madam makes me feel old." Aria smiled at him.

Ronnie's eyes widened. How could he call his Boss's woman by her name? He was not insane to seek his death himself.

"No. No. Madam. I can't." Ronnie said flustered.

"Why?"

Ronnie remained silent. He couldn't say that the devil beside her would definitely roast him alive if he called his woman by her name.

"Aria. Let him be. He is just being respectful." Noah said.

"Okay." Aria hesitated.

"So, how was the first day of your conference?"

"It was good, though I couldn't listen to much of the speeches."

"Why?"

"It was my colleague. He was quite irritating during the entire time." Aria huffed. Noah's gaze darkened at once. He remembered which colleague she was referring to. He had seen him at the airport and he had also realized his motives on his first meet. He looked at Ronnie through the mirror and a silent conversation took place.

"Anyway, how was your day?"

"It was boring. Now it is becoming interesting."

"What do you mean?"

Noah didn't have time to reply as Ronnie spoke indicating that they had arrived at the theater.

"After you." Noah had already got down and was holding the door for Aria to get down.

"Thank you, Mr. Carter."

"You are welcome, Miss West." Aria laughed, listening to their formal talk. This time it was Noah who was in a daze. Her laughter sounded like music. It immediately became his favorite melody.

"So, what movie are we watching?" Aria asked when they were inside the theater.

"I don't know. What do you prefer?"

Aria looked at the list of movies being screened. She was not a fan of romance. She liked thrillers or horror movies. Fortunately, there was a horror movie being screened.

"How about that horror movie?"

Noah was a little astonished. He had expected Aria to be the romantic type. But, he was happy as he found those sorts of movies quite boring.

"Okay," Noah said.

"Let me buy the tickets," Aria said as she pulled out her wallet.

"That's not necessary."

"What?"

"This theater is under the Carter theater franchise in London."

"You have a theater franchise?" Aria was perplexed.

"Yeah."

Aria was still in shock. However, Noah had already pulled her inside the movie hall and they were sitting in their seats. Noah had booked the entire theater hall. So, it was only the two of them inside. It was quite dark, hence she could not see there was nobody else other than them. They sat on the couple's VIP seats.

After ten minutes, the movie started and Aria was engrossed in it. Noah looked at Aria and the small gap of distance between the two. But as soon as there was a loud bang in one of the scenes, Aria moved closer to Noah. Whenever there were some terrifying scenes, Aria would scoot closer to Noah.

Noah smirked looking at their closeness while Aria was completely oblivious to it. In one of the scenes, Aria hugged Noah so tight that he could feel all her curves. He gasped. His heart started to beat crazily fast. His hormones were going berserk.

Until the end of the movie, Aria had not stopped hugging Noah. She had taken all liberties with his body. While she had thoroughly enjoyed the movie, Noah had thoroughly enjoyed Aria's body pressed against his. It was not until it became completely silent after the movie ended, that she realized their compromising position. She pulled back immediately and cleared her throat awkwardly. It was too embarrassing.

Looking at her red face, Noah had to control his laughter. She looked too cute and lovely. Before the discomfiture could raise, he spoke up.

"Let's go have dinner."

"Yeah."

Both of them got up and walked beside each other silently. They did not know what to talk about.

"How did you like the movie?" Noah asked, to clear the uneasiness.

"Good. It was good."

"Yeah. It was very good."

They sat in the car and again silence engulfed them.

"Where are we going?" Aria said, looking outside.

"My home."

"Your home?"

"Yes."

"Oh okay."

The car stopped in front of a beautiful mansion. Aria's jaw dropped looking at it.

"Is this your house?"

"Yeah." Noah shrugged. "Come on in."

The guards and the servants greeted Noah and Aria and were pleasantly surprised when she greeted them back. They immediately had a good impression of her. He dismissed all his staff and led Aria in. He gave her a complete tour of the mansion.

After forty minutes, Aria plopped on the dining chair. She was tired. Noah's house was huge. The tour had made her hungry although she had eaten to her stomach full before meeting him. Noah sat beside her and observed her. At that moment, her stomach rumbled. Aria's face became red at once.

"Oh. Look's like someone is hungry." Aria covered her face with her hands. She couldn't face the man who was staring intently at her.

"I'll get something for you to eat."

"No. No. I am fine."

"No. You are not. You have to eat something. It's dinner time anyway"

Noah found some lasagna in the refrigerator. He heated it and brought it to the dining table.

"Eat." He handed her a spoon, which she took obediently. She took big spoonfuls as she made small talks with him.

"Do you want some? Have some. I cannot finish all of these." She asked after some time when she realized that only she was eating. It looked very weird.

"Umm. Okay." Looking at Aria eat, made Noah hungry too. So, he thought he might as well eat it. He picked up a spoon and ate from the same plate. Soon the plate became empty and both of them had their stomachs filled.

Noah saw some sauce on Aria's lips. It looked very enticing and it made him want to kiss her. He wiped her lips with his forefinger and immediately licked it.

Aria saw Noah's actions and her heart fluttered like a hummingbird.

"Noah, what are you doing?"

"What?"

"You just did.." Aria did not know how to continue.

"What did I do?"

"You just.. just."

Noah was amused at Aria's flustered state.

"Why did you do that?"

"Are you referring to this?" Noah rubbed his finger on her lips and licked it again. Noah had decided to face her head-on with his feelings. So, he had mustered all his courage to do those things.

Aria's heart, which was previously fluttering, was now thundering. She could only manage to say one word.

"Why?"

"I just wanted to do that."

"Wh..What? Why are you doing this?"

Noah focused on her face, trying to read her expressions. He realized that it was time he confessed.

"Because I like you," Noah answered and he immediately sealed her lips with his.
