Chapter 52: Chapter 52

I was close to screaming out in frustration as Noah kept following me.

"Are you going to stop following me any time soon?"

"Please, just tell me where she is. I promise, I'll stop stalking you."

"After all your friend put her though, you expect me to tell you where she is? It's been five months, tell Michael to get over it."

I was supposed to meet George but I don't think it's possible again and recently, George started asking questions about Noah and I really don't blame him.

"You know I'll keep following you right and you have to meet lover boy, don't you?"

Now, he got my full attention….how the hell did he know?

"Look, I really don't want to keep you waiting but he's my best friend and he's miserable... he's the shadow of himself now and I'm worried."

I pitied him, but she is also my sister who I need to protect.

"Look, I know Michael and if there's anything I'm certain of, is that he didn't sleep with Annabelle."

"So she was impregnated by the holy spirit…..very funny Noah."

"Annabelle keeps forcing herself on him and I know she's pregnant but I keep having this feeling that the baby isn't his." He explained.

"Why should I believe you, you'll do anything to make him look innocent?"

Something inside me told me he might be telling the truth but I just need him to convince me. Meanwhile I totally forgot about George which wasn't a good thing….but at the same time, I didn't feel bad..Noah kept me occupied.

"Shit, let's talk about this another time, I have to meet my boyfriend." I said, looking at the time.

I was supposed to meet him about an hour ago but because of the fact that I was trying to get rid of Noah, I couldn't.

"You mean the person staring at us right now?" Noah asked.

"What do you m…..shit!"

"George, I'm sorry I lost track of time."

"She was a little busy…hope you don't mind?"

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

I stared expectantly at George whose eyes roamed between Noah and I as if trying to fish out something suspicious.

"Comfort I really like you, but I think your heart belongs to someone else but I promise to be here when you're sure it's me you want."

"What are you talking about? If you mean him you're wrong…..he used to be Precious friend."

"I'll let you know, I'm still her favorite person." Noah, who doesn't know when to shut up, said.

"Will you shut the f**k up?" I told him.

George didn't say anything, and I figured I had it coming and he probably had been planning it for a while….. today was the perfect opportunity.

"I'm sorry, we can work it out." I said.

I was trying to hold my tears, I felt like we've come a long way to end things because of whatever he thought I might have done.

"You're definitely not ending things with me because of him, are you?"

Noah was definitely planning his death because I'll kill him once we're alone. George looked confused but before he could ask questions Noah held my hand leading me away.

"Noah, let go of my hand."

"Nope, you're not going to beg him. He's not worth it….I mean who ends things with their girlfriend because of what he thinks without asking her point of view?"

While that made total sense, I really liked him so my broken heart was justified.

I tried not to think so much about George as I listened to whatever Noah was saying about Annabelle and how we could help. I left out the fact that Precious is pregnant too.

"Are you sure he's not the father?" I asked.

"I don't know, just a feeling and he's Dad wants them to get married before the baby comes."

"How is Michael taking it?"

I offered him a glass of water since we were at my house now.

"He's indifferent, he's been like that since Precious left. He thinks he doesn't deserve her and she was better off without him."

"That's a lot."

"I know..he believes she is carrying his child and Michael loves children so he's doing the best he can for the child's sake."

"What do you suggest we do?" I asked.

Noah didn't look like someone who would lie to get something and if there's anything I know, is that Annabelle looked like a desperate b**ch so if she was lying about a pregnancy I wouldn't be surprised.

"You're a girl, you should know when someone is lying."

"Well, you have brains you should be able to figure out."

We went through different plans which included following her when she goes out alone…..Noah claims she insisted on going out alone sometimes.

"You're actually cool when you want to be." I didn't know why I said that, it was supposed to be in my head.

"I know right! Why do you think Precious calls me Sweet?"

"Oh...I see."

"I miss you a lot you know…..can you at least let me talk to her?" He asked.

"No…..you don't get to do that."

"But I wasn't even the one who did wrong…. I'm trying to get them back together."

"No one is talking about bringing them together, I just don't want Michael to be tied down with her if he didn't do anything wrong….apart from kissing her that is."

"You're not letting that go, are you?"

"Nope. When do you plan on leaving?"

"I don't want to go yet, I'll wait till I know Michael is surely back…it's bearable then because she's an Angel anytime he's around."

"What if I don't want you to stay here?"

"You don't want to send this handsome face into the lion's den, do you?"

"She can't be that bad."

"She's worse."

I didn't get time to respond because my phone started ringing, it was Precious and she'd never called me so late before.

"Act like you're not here and I mean it, if not I'll kick you out." I threatened.

Let's find out what was wrong
