Chapter 98 Yes, I will marry you.
Carissa scoffed at his response. Such an egoistic person!!! She let him be. No one can win and even if you do he
is a pro at making you feel like you have lost. She did not expect anything more.
After walking off some distance, the sky was suddenly filled with rainbow colored fireworks. She was surprised by the sudden fireworks. "What's happening?" Carissa asked him who was observing her with a keen interest instead of fireworks.
"Can you focus on them?" Instead of replying to her he suggested another thing. Carissa questions so much, like a kid. Who finds every little thing fascinating. But he is ready to answer them all.
For now, Noah wants her to enjoy everything he is doing for her. Her brows knitted together and Carissa diverted her attention from his handsome face to up above in the sky.
Different colors continued to fill the sky making various patterns. She once threw a tantrum to see a firework show with her father but he was so busy with the work and it continued to delay. Until she could no longer see it and gave up. As a result, Carissa has no memory of having a trip or any enjoyment with him.
Those memories of being ridiculed and looked down upon all the time flashed in the moment. Her eyes are getting filled with salty water. Carissa tried her best not to let them fall. She does not want to spoil this moment.
Noah's eyes did not move away even a little bit from her. He observed every single emotion on that transparent sheet of paper. First, from being surprised to nothing then sadness, tears and the last emotion was most beautiful.
When she got sad, his grip on her hand tightened while he felt sad with her.
Carissa continued to look up. She was holding back the tears when in the end, the fireworks formed another pattern.
The two sentences...... These two sentences were enough to let those tears fall. She lowered her face immediately to hide them from him.
"I LOVE YOU, CARISSA".
"WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
The fireworks continued to convey his feelings. Noah held her chin to make her look up in the eyes.
Her grey orbs met his dark ones, he was taking out a small beautiful box. Before Carissa could react, to her surprise he was already on his knees holding a beautiful diamond ring. His eyes brimming brightly with love, love and love. He only knows one thing when it comes to her.
When Carissa came back to her senses, she had no idea what to say. Without her knowledge, the words came out, "What is this? Such a typical proposal". She complained.
He hung his head low. Was it not as per expectations?
Shit!!!!
'I should have put more consideration and thoughts in it.' He regretted it. 'I will not leave Aaron'. In mind, he put blame on him because he was the one who suggested such a proposal. According to him, and according to the research he has done, the chances of its success were greater and higher.
"I am sorry. I already told you I don't know how to do romantic stuff." He apologized instantly.
Carissa chuckled at his reaction, "From which movie this scene came from? I want to see it in the movie too." Now, she was teasing him.
Noah looked up. What is she doing?
"Will you continue to make fun of me instead of answering?" he was getting impatient.
"I need time to consider this matter carefully". She placed her hand under the chin, "I will have to tolerate your temperaments for the rest of my life. See even at this moment you are clenching your jaws."
Carissa pointed at his face at which he immediately relaxed the muscles and took a deep breath. 'I have to overcome this battle'. Noah made a resolution. Still that resolution was not enough to lift up his confidence. Carissa found his face turning a little pale as he started to feel down. She bit the inside of her cheek to control her laugh. For the first time, he looked cute. He was afraid of being dumped. Actually, after spending a successful life, she knows he is not used to hearing rejection. In business, people are dying to seal a deal with him and in his personal life, a long line of girls are waiting for him.
So, everything is in his favor. How about bringing a little change from usual?
"So, are you going to reject me?" Noah spoke with utter pitifulness. He was on the verge of falling down. Legs were going numb due to being on knee and his mental state was stirred up badly at the moment.
Carissa placed her arms on the chest. She tried her best to hold the laughs inside but failed badly. As the melodious laugh rang loudly in the atmosphere. Bitterness spread all over his face and mouth. Carissa held his hand and made him stand up properly. His legs were numb, because she made him wait so long. "How can I reject you? I am already yours". She informed me. Her eyes had a hint of happiness, which he has never seen before. The glint and sparks in them were beautiful. It warmed his heart, making him feel alive again.
The little torture she has give him a moment ago faded away in front of her happiness. He realized why a person gets sad when he sees his lover sad and gets happy when the loved one is happy. She lives in him and he lives in her. It was impossible to not share the feelings and emotions too.
Love is a strong bond, connecting the souls. Here, every materialistic thing fades away. Where you want only one person to be by the side.
Before Carissa would change her answer, Noah instantly pulled out a ring from the ring case, he held her hand in his one. It fit perfectly and extended it towards himself, before slipping the ring in the finger, Noah looked in her eyes, "I am sorry…. There are a lot of things for which I feel apologetic towards you."
What are they ? She could think of a single one. In fact he is a perfect man. She is always grateful to him.
"No, Noah. You have already done more than enough for me. If you continue to do so, then I will feel like I don't deserve you anymore". She honestly replied.
"Listen to me carefully. This is the last time I am saying, you are the only one in the world for me. You are the only one who deserves me". He does not want her to feel low. She is the best for him. A perfect match.
Tears started to build up again, moisturizing her eyes. "You are saying such cheesy things, on the other hand you always tell me you don't know how to be romantic". He was saying one thing and doing another. Carissa faked anger.
He smiled slightly revealing the dimple on the left cheek. "Don't you dare to cry". He warned her and with the fingertip wiped away them. He hates them in her eyes. It doesn't matter if they are due to sadness or due to happiness.
Carissa also hurriedly wiped the corner of eyes with the fingertip after getting threatened.
Noah "Yes, I will marry you". This time Carissa replied in clear words.
Noah could not believe his ears. Was she for real?
He raised an eyebrow in confusion. Carissa giggled and nodded slightly.
"Ohh God!!!" He jumped in excitement.
This moment was a blessing. He wants to live in this time. If there is a power to stop the time, he will surely do everything in power to get it. Because, he can live without anything but her. How he wished that it would never end.
Noah hugged her tightly and when he separated from her, he slipped the beautiful diamond ring in her ring finger. The ring looked more exquisite in her finger.
Carissa observed it carefully. "How does it look?" She was showing him her hand with a ring.
"As expected, BEAUTIFUL". Even more than expectations.
Carissa hugged his waist once again tightly. "I am always thankful to you and always will be. Thank you for coming into my life, Panther". She sounded sincere.
"I cannot promise you to bring moon and stars for you like others, but I can promise you to love you as long as I am breathing. Let's have a happy life".
Noah held from the waist and made her stand on his feet and kissed her lips. She tiptoed on his feet to reach his level. Carissa was teasing him again by not giving an entry to his tongue. In frustration, he threatened her, "Don't provoke me". Noah once again sealed her lips with his but still she did the same thing again. He grabbed her breast and squeezed it so hard that she winced in pain, her lips parted and without delaying it, his tongue was playing with the insides of her mouth.
Today, he was so passionate, even with a single kiss he was squeezing her soul out, draining her energy. Her legs were wobbly, Noah held her waist to give her support.
He finally let go of her, when she was getting breathless, and tapped on his shoulder as a signal. Carissa felt her lips getting numb and swollen due to the force he has used now.
