Chapter 87: Punch
Alice watched him stand casually without reacting, which sank her heart.
"If you want, you can scold . Put brain in my head, punch -" she stopped and watched him arch his brow.
"Ahem... I an, think this punching bag as
and pour all your anger on it until you are ready to listen to ," she said and again lowered her head.
Noah found her way of apology too weird. Who on earth would’ve thought Alice would co up with this idea and bring him to the gym so that he could vent all his anger against her on this poor punching bag?
’How on earth did he fall for a clueless soul’ Noah sighed and walked to her, making her look up and et his eyes.
"Why are you so desperate for my forgiveness Alice?" his voice was calm, but it was enough to stir her mind.
’Why?’ she asked herself while her eyes tried to find the answer in his grey ones.
Alice knew she liked him as a friend and his presence gave her peace. But after last night, she started to feel more than a friendship for him.
The way his alluring lips tempted her and how without any second guess, she tasted it made her feel a spark within herself. The way she was desperate to make a move further than a kiss, even when she never once had sex in her life, made her question her claim.
’Was he just a friend she liked, or was it more than that?’ Alice suddenly felt her body stiffen. There was no way she would co to like him that way. She had sealed all her feelings because she knew it didn’t bring any good to her.
Her eyes fluttered, trying to speak, but she couldn’t answer him. It should’ve been easy for her to say that she wanted to be his friend, but she couldn’t utter a word when her thoughts began to shake.
Taking a step back from him, she composed herself. No, she couldn’t have any such kind of feeling for him. She had long forbidden them from invading her peaceful life.
Noah observed her ignoring eting his gaze. He was expecting her to speak what she felt for him and not label their relationship as only friendship when he felt sothing more than that brewing between them.
"Tell , Alice? Why are you so desperate to gain my forgiveness" he again questioned, and this ti, he took a step toward her.
Alice could feel her heart race because of the closeness, making her fall weak. Her eyes started to well, and she held her arms tightly until they turned red.
She was finding it hard to breathe when the mory of her past flashed in her mind, and she started trembling.
Noah was alard by the sudden change in her behaviour, and sothing clicked in his mind.
’Panic attack’
Horror crawled in his heart; he pulled her into a bone-crushing her even more before she could harm herself.
Alice kept shivering even when his hold around her tightened. ’No, the past can’t repeat. She can’t make a fool out of herself again’ Alice’s mind was in chaos while tears kept streaming down her cheeks.
She closed her eyes, trying to stop that creepy feeling surge. She couldn’t go through that again. She tried to shove them, but it started playing in her mind until she heard Noah’s soothing voice next to her ear, and she froze.
"Alice... relax
