Amber POVs
I have never imagined before, being around my biggest enemy while having a broken heart and having fun afterward. It's funny how we ended up together as a couple now, me and Noah? come on it's the craziest thing I've ever done in my life, dating my enemy even if there's not a serious thing between us but it is a thing for me because I have never dated anyone before ever in my life.
After spending time together and having so much fun the whole day, we decided to chill at his beach house. This Boho style house is a free-spirited aesthetic that mixes different cultures and artistic expressions into an eclectic style with an emphasis on organic elements and nature putting together boho style space, mixing patterns, metals, woods, materials, animal hides, and trinkets are perfect, I just wanna lay down on the couch watching the ocean and sunset before the night comes in. This was my dream house. I love being here and I don't wanna go home but I have to.
"Ups, what time is it?"
"It's 5:30 why?"
"Could you please send me back home, I gotta go home right now before it's dark"
"Why just stay over and we will go together to school tomorrow morning"
"Hell no, I cannot stay over here I have to go home soon if you can't drop me then I'll go myself"
"I told you not to kill my vibe, do you know how far this place is to your home, and I have to drive that far while I'm almost wasted?"
"Who asked you to drink so much?"
"It's just a cocktail"
"Coke doesn't make you drunk"
He starts laughing out loud.
"Damn girl, I said cocktail not coke"
"Whatever coke you drink I don't care, now I have to go"
"Alright, alright because of that crisp joke of yours, it's enough to wake me up so I'll drive you home don't worry"
"Thanks"
"Lemme get the car ready, you wait here"
"Okay, hold on where is the toilet I need to go to the washroom"
"Oh it's over there, on the left beside the kitchen"
"Alright thank you, take your time"
"Yup"
A few minutes later the light is out and it was completely dark, I was inside the washroom and I forgot that my phone is in my bag and I didn't bring it with me so I couldn't on my torch, I couldn't see anything. oh Gosh, my Nyctophobia is striking me again, it was too dark and I was frightened.
First, I scream out loud my heart rate is too fast, my chest is so tight and it feels hard to catch my breath, I'm freezing, my hands are shaking, feeling dizzy, I'm trying to catch the door handle but my legs are shaking too, feeling weak I fell on the floor and I couldn't reach anything that can help me up, I'm losing my mind it's really hard to breathe while my heart beating too fast it's impossible to get up, my chest is so painful what am I gonna do, I couldn't even scream.
"He-help" my voice is slowly fading away and I'm fainting, I couldn't remember anything after that.
I hear Noah's voice getting closer and louder, slowly I opened my eyes but still can't see anything, I feel nauseous. I hear someone banging on the door, it's getting louder and louder and I'm almost back to my senses now.
"He-help Noah help"
"Amber are you alright, open the door or I'll break in"
"I couldn't"
"Move from there if you are behind this door, I'll break the door"
"No I'm far, go ahead faster"
He kicked the door very hard and quickly carried me.
"Are you alright?"
"I couldn't breathe, I'm scared am I going to die?"
"Breathe breathe just breathe, take a deep breath come on"
"No, I couldn't, I need the light please on it"
"I will try to on the generator, the electricity is completely shut down it may take a while, you should relax and try to take a deep breath it's all only in your mind, I'm here your not alone so please take a deep breath"
I began to follow his instruction, I slowly took the deepest breath, relaxed, and calmed my mind. But I couldn't, my breath is so hard to catch. Knowing that I'm going to faint again, He acted quickly to help me with CPR, yes CPR means mouth-to-mouth breathing. I know that he was just trying to help me but it's a big thing for me, I've lost my first kiss too and it's all going to Noah, it's unbelievable.
The light is on and I begin to be fully conscious then when I open my eyes, his lips are still on my lips. I try to refuse and push him away.
"Sorry I mean nothing, I just try to help you "
I'm speechless and still shocked at what just happened. My heart is pounding harder and harder, but this one feels different than my anxiety.
"Are you alright, I'm so worried about you"
"I'm okay, it's just my phobia striking again while the light is out"
"I know, that's why I'm running faster to get you because you've told me before about your phobia while we stuck together that time in the jungle"
"Thank you, Noah"
"It's alright, you're okay now let me drop you home alright?
He touches my cheek and makes me feel so calm, he saves my life twice.
My heart begins to pound. I stood there, feeling a desire run from my heart, to my chest, and down toward my inner thighs.
He stares into my eyes and smiles. His two hands grab my left hand and he places my open palm on his heart, and he holds it there. His eyes exude love, protection, security, safety, patience, and respect. I smile and he lets go of my hands, with one hand he runs his fingers through my hair and gently guides my face closer to his, eventually leaning me in to rest my head on his chest. His other arm wraps around me, I hope he never let's go.
While at that moment against his chest, I could only think about what I could do to make his heart pound.
Oh no, no no no what am I thinking, this isn't right. I can't fall for Noah, no matter what our relationship isn't real. And some more he can never marry me so wake up, my dream is to have my own family one day that I never had before, get married have a husband who loves me, and have kids with him, but with Noah or Ethan, it seems impossible to make my dream come true. So wake up!
"We should go, like, now"
I pulled my hand and got up quickly, trying to avoid any physical contact with him and get myself drowning in fantasy which I shouldn't think about at all or expect too much.
"Alright, let's go"
After hours of driving with the light staying on, I see Noah's face looking so calm. He makes me feel at peace, I feel the same feeling while I am with Ethan, I can't resist both of their charms It is melting my heart I mean everyone's heart to be honest. I feel so bad for treating Noah like an enemy after I found out that his true personality isn't bad at all. It's frustrating, it can't be real, I cannot fall for two different people at the same time. Amber wakes up from your daydream, don't be greedy and let your guard down. You have to focus on your study and your future, it's not the time for you to focus on forbidden triangle love. so wake up Cinderella! it's time to go home.
