Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 314 - Aria's Analysis (Unedited)

Aria was pushed out of the house before she could ask anybody what was even happening. She looked confused with whatever was happening around her and the sudden changes that had been imposed on her without even being consulted. She saw that her bags were packed and all her important and necessary items were placed in there. She was all the more perplexed now. But it was Noah's words that were bugging her. 'Did he say that I am going to stay with him from now? But why?' 

Before she could even voice her question, the four members had started walking with Noah pulling her softly with him by her waist. She stared at the bags that were lying outside the door with nobody to take care of them. "What about those?" Aria pointed out although that was not the question she had in mind. 

"Ronnie and Kaito will take care of them." As soon as Noah spoke the words, the two men appeared out of nowhere and took care of the luggage. Aria had not seen them in the house when she had entered. So, she wondered where they were all this time. The two couples took the first elevator while the two men took another. 

Aria was still muddleheaded, not knowing what was happening. She wanted to ask her doubts and turned to stare at the man who was busy wandering his mischievous hand around her waist. She was so lost in her thoughts that she did not feel his touch on her body. Seeing that Aria had a lot of question marks in her mind, Noah shushed her right by placing his finger on her lips when she was about to fire her first question. "We will talk once we go home."

Aria could only nod at him making him chuckle lightly at her cuteness. She looked like a small adorable girl just like how she was in her photos of her younger days. Just as Noah thought about the photos, Ivy's words flashed in his mind and his gaze changed from amusement to regret.

Ivy was right. He had been jealous and angry about something that was not even true while Aria was calm and collected about his past sex life. She did not care a thing about the women he had done previously, not one question was asked. Aria had been kind enough to ignore his messy past while she could have demanded answers from him. He wondered how she would react if he told her about his jealousy. Would she be angry and snap at him like how Ivy had? Or would she retort back at him and question him about his past?

The elevator doors opened and Noah's thoughts snapped. He let out a gentle smile at his darling girl before he led her to his car. However, he could still not forgive himself for being narrow-minded. While Ronnie, Aria, and Noah took one car, Joshua, Kaito, and Ivy took another. Aria was about to get inside when she remembered something. "What about my car?"

"Don't worry. I'll get one of my men to drive it to our home. Now get inside, love. It's cold outside." Noah coaxed her and got inside after she made space for him beside her. 

Meanwhile, Ivy and Joshua had already seated themselves in the car as they waited for Kaito to start driving. Ivy did not have to worry about her motorbike for now as it was in the garage. She had given it for regular servicing.

The two men turned to look at each other and smiled happily on getting their mission accomplished. They had the girls they loved the most next to them and what could be more exciting than taking them home with them and stay with them forever? Aria and Ivy too looked at each and waved goodbye, and both the cars zoomed out of the apartment complex.

Aria could not sit still anymore. She was dying to know what was happening and seeing the state she was in, Noah could not prolong the talk any further. So, without even her asking him, he started speaking. He told her the same things he had told to Ivy and waited for her to go in shock. But compared to Ivy, she seemed a lot more calm and composed. the information had not affected her much and now he seemed to be a little shocked.

"This was a given. For someone to keep an eye on my sister, there can only be two reasons. One, he likes her and wants to know more about her. Two, my sister must have done something given her job and again he must have wanted to know about her. Though both the options were possible, it had to be the second one given the way you had described about him."

Noah was perplexed by her analysis. This was the first he was seeing her different face with the way she was putting across her thoughts confidently and accurately. She had reasoned it out perfectly and Noah could not help but wonder how amazing the two sisters were. They were one of the most confident and smart people he had ever met and he felt grateful and ecstatic that one of them was his woman.

"She had to have offended someone to have caught their fancy and it is no surprise that it had to do with the two missions she dealt with recently. If you analyze everything correctly, you can see that the man started following her after the incident at the Good City Clinic. So, that had to be it." Aria continued speaking, stunning both Ronnie and Noah. Ronnie had been listening to Aria since the time she had started speaking and was taken aback seeing how smart and practical she was. It was no wonder that they were Oliver's daughter. If Aria had not been a doctor, she would have been an outstanding journalist or a strategist.

"But yeah. It was quite shocking to hear that Jared Augustus was the one who was behind all these crimes. I did not expect that." Aria said after some time.

"Do you know Jared?"

"No. I just read heard about him on the news."

"Hmm. That guy is a freak and it is better that you guys stay with us where you will be safe. There will be guards to protect you and I can be at peace."

"I accept this arrangement. When one of his men had already broken into our house once, there is a high possibility that it might happen again. And listening to your words, the man must be frightening enough for even a man like you to take precautions. So, I will go along with the flow."

Noah smiled at her thoughtfulness. She was not throwing a fit at him for doing things without consulting her. "Aria, I am sorry."

This got her attention. She turned to face him and blinked at him with her head titled towards one side. "Why are you apologizing? What did you do now?" She asked with a playful smirk and Noah rolled his eyes at her teasing.

"For two things actually. One, for taking decisions without even asking you."

"What's the second one?"

"For being jealous."

"What were you jealous about?"

"I saw a photograph of you and your brother on laptop and ...."

"And you assumed things."

Noah nodded like a little boy as though he was confessing his mistakes to his teacher. "You were not wrong though." Noah, who had bent his neck, lifted it at an impeccable speed, his eyes wide with shock.

"What?"

"Yes. That guy is not my brother. Ivy must have pulled a prank on you." Aria giggled as she revealed the truth to him slowly. "He was my classmate and he liked me. But I was not interested in him and when he got to know about it, he stopped pursuing me."

"So, Ivy actually lied to me?" Noah asked flabbergasted with the unbelievable revelation. He had been dying in guilt to have felt jealous of a relationship that had not even been existent only for him to find it to be true.

"Not exactly. It is true that he is married now. I wonder why Ivy did that. She must have had a reason to have told you so." When Noah heard Aria's words, he realized the reason for her do so. She wanted him to see things from a broad perspective and had just lied about it casually. Realizing that her intentions were good, Noah let it go. It would not be wise to think about things that would not matter them from now on. Whatever it happened was in the past and it was best to forget about them. They had to focus more on their present and their future.

Just the thought about him and Aria staying in the same house made him all giddy and excited. He was more than happy about the arrangement and he could not wait for the days ahead from now on. "What are you thinking about?" Aria asked when she saw him smiling like a fool as he thought about something.

His smirk widened hearing her question and he pulled her closer to him. "What do you think?"

"Why do I feel that there are naughty things running in your mind?"

"Ohh, you have no idea what naughty and mischievous things are running in my mind. But I am sure both of us would love it." Noah raised his eyebrows playfully as he licked his lips seductively trying to entice Aria. Her eyes took in the way his tongue ran over his sexy lips and she had the intense urge to kiss him now. But Ronnie interrupted right at the wrong time to inform them about their arrival.
