THE ENTERTAINER
CHAPTER 31
Noah opened the door of the hotel room, featuring a spacious room with minimal lighting.
“Naya?”
There's no answer. Something began to disturb Noah's calm.
“Naya?!” The sound this time was bigger. Looking for her favorite woman.
Until when he opened the bedroom door, there was no figure of Naya there. Worry and uneasiness clouded his mind. When Noah was about to call someone, the sound of the door from behind him creaking opened.
Noah turned around, Naya came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe that was always oversized in her small body. Noah's shoulders relaxed, with quick steps he approached the woman who was still standing still with her wet hair, then hugged her tightly.
“I think you...” Noah's speech was interrupted. While Naya smiled and returned the warm embrace.
“What I worry you about?”
Noah shook his head slightly, while enjoying the smell of that wet body. Too intoxicating for him. Heavily, Noah breaks his embrace, before his passion defeats his wits.
“How about your mother?” Naya asked.
“All is in order.”
“Sgratitude.” Naya's breath was blowing. But not with his heart suddenly sad, it seemed like he had no more chance to meet Noah's mother.
“Can I order food? I'm a little hungry.” Naya walked towards the phone plane on the nightstand. Hiding his sad look.
“Order anything you want to eat, Darling.”
Naya's steps came to a halt, a call that always made one of her heartbeats beat faster. Her smile expanded, but once again, her heart ached. In a quick gesture, he grabbed the wired phone and called room service, ordering two main courses for himself and Noah.
A few minutes later, a bell rang at the door, Noah opened it and let the hotel staff take in the food Naya had ordered. Naya approached the large table where the staff was serving her dishes, then took a seat right next to the staff standing. At first glance the staff glanced towards Naya who was still wearing her great bathrobe. Damn, Noah knows where the view of the man's staff.
“Out!” noah's orders suddenly.
The staff is flirting. “Ba-good, Mr.”
While Naya was also startled, Noah's voice suddenly enlarged.
Noah still saw the staff coming out until the door closed.
“What's up? Don't you like the food?”
Noah snorted, then shook his head. “No. I like your order.”
Naya did not ask any more, they enjoyed their dishes. This time, Naya ate more. It might be like recovering all his depleted strength. Fortunately, they made it back before Noah. After being convinced to have hidden the money he was carrying, Naya immediately entered the bathroom to remove any traces of her body being soaked in sweat and to give him a pause before his breathing returned to normal. Five minutes later he heard Noah's voice calling his name.
Rio's? Naya can only hope that Noah's secretary can keep his promise. Even if one day Rio revealed their secret, at least Naya was no longer on Noah's side.
Secretly Naya glanced towards Noah who was enjoying his food. Suddenly there was a longing there. Though the figure of a handsome man who always fills his mind can still be seen and touched. Can he survive to stay away? Unknowingly, Naya admitted defeat. His heart was filled with a name he could never have.
“Noah... do you want to go to the amusement park with me tomorrow? If you are not busy.”
Noah froze, his lips smiling widely. “Did you just ask me out?”
“Hahaha. All right, tomorrow we go to the amusement park. It has been a long time since I took my vacation ration, I will ask Rio and Alex to keep watch.”
“Noah, no need. I want just you and me. Just a day.”
“Naya. You know, my dad—”
“Not going, Noah. I want to really be together with you.”
Noah smiled, “Alright. Just you and me.” Noah clasped Naya's hand gently.
---
After eating the night, Noah came out for a while and returned with a large white paper bag, Naya took out the contents, there were three types of clothes there. One for him can sleep, and the other two...
“What size is appropriate?”
Naya's face flushed. “Mmm, a-you don't need to buy underwear too.”
Noah laughed, then walked over. It was so close that he could whisper something in Naya's ear. “I would rather see you without underwear.”
That subtle voice greeted his senses. Especially when Noah's breath traced the open bend of his neck. Naya pecked, while the man's hand played on his bathrobe bond.
Naya looked up, looking at the Netra Noah who was also looking at her gently. There is a genuine love there. Naya always liked that look, which she never got from anyone. The look that always protected him and said that everything would be fine. Perhaps one day, Naya will hate herself for choosing to leave. However, this was the choice he made to protect Noah. She will never be able to be with him, Naya is aware of his position, too low for a respectable man like Noah.
“Noah..”.
“Hmm..”
“Why do you like me?”
“Do I need a reason to like you?”
Naya smiled. “I want to hear it.”
Noah cupped both of Naya's cheeks that felt small in her hands. The face that always looks sad, the face that is always wet with tears, and the face that always looks beautiful in his eyes. “I don't know, Naya. My heart hurts to see you cry, I can't let anyone hurt you. If you ask me why I like you, maybe I can only answer, I .. want to protect you. By being by my side.”
Naya's irises widened, the warm feeling radiating throughout her body. His heart beat earlier. When her tears escaped without her noticing, Noah's finger rubbed her gently.
“I love you, Naya.”
The sentence made him sob, Naya lowered her head. If only ...he and Noah met with different circumstances. Do they have a better future? Naya doesn't need to think about her status, and Noah won't go against her father. Naya squeezes her bathrobe cloth strong.
“Sa-me... not—”
Noah curled his lips violently. Noah knew what Naya was going to say. Their differences, their status, even about his family not accepting him. Though Noah has repeatedly said he wants to protect the woman, why is it always the cry that adorns the woman's face.
Naya froze up receiving that sudden kiss. A second later, he felt like he wanted to enjoy it longer. Though a little rough from Noah's kiss usually, but he likes it a lot. It always feels sweet to her. Naya hopes that if she can stop time, Naya will ask that their time really stop tonight, because tomorrow, Naya will never feel the same again.
