My five husbands by Loren rivera (classic novels for teens TXT) 📗

Nora: It was partly my fault. Now everything is alright all because of you so let's just put everything behind us. 

James: Why isn't your boyfriend here? 

Nora: Ur...urm....

James: Let me guess, he didn't care if the women lived or died. 

Nora: Um... he had something else to do. 

          Hm,she is clearly lying. She is such a bad liar, her voice broke, her eyes didn't meet mine, her legs were shaking under the table and her mouth twitched a little. My baby, you don't have to lie to me. 

James: I know you are lying but I won't ask further. 

        And there was it. She had the expression when a child was caught stealing candies from the kitchen despite mom telling her not to. Oh my sweet little baby.She was looking around the room to avoid eye contact with me. I want to know everything about her. How can I do it without arousing suspicion? Oh I know how. I took out a blank paper and a pen from my drawer. 

James: Okay,so I am gonna ask you a few questions, and you are answer them honestly, it is if there was any complications with the lady you brought in. 

Nora: Okay. 

         She said and nodded meekly. Great,I didn't think she would believe it but she did. The stars were in my favor today. 

James: Your full name?

Nora: Nora Sanchez. 

James: Age? 

Nora: 19.

James: Parent's name? 

Nora: I am an orphan. I don't know anything about my parents. 

James: Why? Weren't you curious? 

Nora: I don't think that's important. 

James: Sorry. Home address? 

Nora: Apartment no. 9, 5th Avenue,  Gilmore street. 

James: Boyfriend's name? 

         She eyed me but I didn't give anything away. 

Nora: John wicks.

James: Education?

Nora: High school graduate. 

James: Occupation? 

Nora: Teacher,writer,coffee shop waitress and a social worker. 

James: Wow, impressive. Cell phone number? 

          She gave me her cell phone number. And after asking some more questions,I was done. I gave her my cell phone number too if she needed it for some emergency. 

James: Um, it is late, can I drop you somewhere? 

Nora: No, I don't want to trouble you. 

James: I insist. 

          She hesitated for a minute but after pestering her, she finally agreed. We walked towards my car. She sat in the passenger and I started driving. There was complete silence in the car until her phone beeped. She checked the message and after that the smile that appeared on her face was divine. Damn, I would give everything to keep her smiling like this. She was practically bouncing with the happine. I was getting distracted so I stopped my car. 

James: What's the good news? 

Nora: How did you know there was some good news? 

James: Hm, the fact that there is a divine smile on your face,your eyes glisten and you practically bouncing with happiness. 

          Her face turned red like a tomato. 

Nora: So remember I told you how I was a writer, so I published an ebook last year,I sent the copy to one of the productions and now they are making a movie based on my book. 

James: Wow, that's amazing. 

          I said and pulled her into me. When her body touched mine,I wanted the time to freeze, so that we could stay forever like this. Completeness,for the first time in life I felt complete. And she hugged me back. But after sometime, she pulled back. 

James: This calls for a celebration. 

Nora: Um, it's already late, my boyfriend will get angr..... I mean worried. 

         I know she was going to say angry. But, I didn't want to force something out of her. 

James: Okay, but we are already in front of an ice cream shop, it wouldn't take much time. You wait here, I will get you ice cream.

        Without giving her any time to argue, I stepped out of the car and to the ice cream shop. I got two chocolate chip ice cream. I went back to the car to see her still smiling brightly. Guess she is not angry or mad. 

James: Here. 

        I gave her the ice cream and started the car. 

James: Eat otherwise it will melt. 

        She started eating. Her face beamed with more delight as she saw the ice cream. 

James: I guess you like the flavor. 

         She nodded her mouth filled with the icecream. 

James: Which production were you talking about? 

         She swallowed the ice cream and said. 

Nora: Lex.

James: Oh, great. It belongs to my brother. 

Nora:Joseph is your brother. 

James: Yeah, you know him? 

Nora: Well everyone knows him, he is an actor and very handsome. 

           That hurt. Seeing a girl you like fanning over your brother.

James: Yeah, he is handsome. 

Nora: Just like you are. 

           She whispered. 

James: Good to know that you find me handsome baby. 

Nora: I said that out loud. 

James: Yes you did. 

          I chuckled at her reaction. 

Nora: Stop.

           I stopped the car. We were in the 5th Avenue. 

Nora: I will walk from here. 

James: As you wish. 

          She seemed relieved that I did not inquire further. She turned towards me and placed her hand on mine. 

Nora: Thank you so much for everything today. 

         There was some ice cream on the side of her lips. I wiped it with my thumb and licked my thumb clean. 

James: Hm, tasty. 

        She opened the car door and stepped outside. Shit, I scared her with my actions. Stupid. 

         I stopped cursing myself,when she peeped through the window and said. 

Nora: I will take the second ice cream too, I hope you don't mind. And thanks again. I hope we meet again doctor james.

         Damn, did she had to say it like that? She said the last line in the most sweetest tone ever. Indeed we will meet again baby. You are meant to be with me.
