Meeting Again

"Noah, we need to talk, "Mr Flynn said firmly as he walked into the luxurious living room where Noah was sitting.

Noah raised an eyebrow, not looking up from his phone.

"What's up, Dad?" He asks nonchalantly.

Mr Flynn cleared his throat; his eyes were fixed on Noah.

"I've decided to remarry, "he announced, and Noah's eyes remained fixed on his phone.

"Okay, "he replied in an indifferent tone.

Mr Flynn's expression turned stern; his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Racheal is a wonderful woman; you'd like her," he said.

Noah shrugged, still not looking up. "Great, he mumbled in sarcasm.

"Noah, I expect you to be respectful and welcoming to Rachael and her daughter, okay? 'Cause they'd move in next week, "Mr Flynn said.

Noah finally looked up, in amusement. "Don't worry, Dad, I'll be on my best behaviour. Moreover, you should tell her daughter not to trespass, "he warned.

"I'd tell her, Mr Flynn replied with a smile.

Noah snorted, rolling his eyes, returning it back to his phone.

"Yeah, I'd be the perfect son you want, he muttered.

Mr Flynn narrowed his face, but he chose not to pursue the matter.

He knew his son too well not to get under his skin, not today at least.

With a curt nod, Mr Flynn turned and walked out of the room, leaving Noah.

"Ava, sweetie, we need to talk, Racheal said softly as she sat down close to Ava.

Ava looked up from her book with a curious look on her face.What's it, Mom?" She asks.

Racheal took a deep breath, her hand shaking on her lap.

"I've got some news to share with you. You know how I've been seeing James for a while now?"

Ava nodded, her brow furrowed.

"Yes, you both are still dating, "Ava said, and Racheal smiled nervously.

"Well, we've decided to take the next step; we're getting married, and... and we are going to live together, "she said.

Ava's eyes widened in surprise, her book slipping from her hand.

"What? Mom, you can't be serious."

"I know this is sudden, but I love him, and he loves me, and we want to live a new life together, "Racheal told her.

"But he has a son; what about my school? Ava asks.

"Don't worry; everything will be settled, "Racheal replied with a smile.

"I'm not in support of this. Ava shook her head in disapproval.

"Ava I understand you, but this is my decision, and we have to make it work, and I expect you to support me," Racheal said.

Ava's face fell; her eyes became teary.

"Fine, but I'm not going to pretend to be happy about it, "she told her mom.

"I know this is a lot to take in, but I promise you, James is a good man; he'd take care of us, Racheal said, spreading her arms.

Ava looked at her mom, and she hesitated before collapsing into her arms.

Racheal held her close, stroking her hair. "It's okay; I'm here for you, "she mumbled, and Ava nodded her head in response.

Her mother's mind is made up and couldn't be changed.

"I know it's hard, but I want you to be free with James and his son," Racheal said.

"I'd try, Mom, Ava mumbled.

"That's all I can ask for; let's do this together."

As they hug, Ava felt a sense of comfort knowing her mom was trying to make the best decisions.

But she couldn't shake off the feelings of unease knowing her life was about to change in a way she couldn't control.

Noah entered into the school, and all eyes turned towards his direction.

Girls couldn't stop drooling at him.

He had a smile on his face. He looked handsome in his baggy top and baggy pants.

His smile faded away when he saw Ethan.

"Look who we've got here! Ethan mocked, and Noah glared at him.

When you are looking for enemies, we've Noah and Ethan. They both dislike themselves without any reason.

"I don't want to waste my energy on you, so buzz off, "Noah muttered gently.

"And what if I don't? Ethan asks daringly.

Noah gave him a short glance before walking away.

"Who does he think he's?" "Ethan scoffed inwardly, taking another direction.

---------------------

Noah puffed out smoke from his mouth aggressively. He does this anytime he is angry.

Sophia hugged him from behind, making him drop the pipe and step on it.

"Why are you here?" he asks, disengaging.

"Didn't you miss me? Sophia pouted, and Noah scoffed inwardly, grabbing her and kissing her roughly.

She reciprocated immediately while trying to move at the same pace with him.

He pressed her butt, and she moaned into his mouth, giving him full access to roll his tongue into hers.

He broke the kiss, staring at her without any expression.

"Should we do a quickie? She asked, trying to pull his pants, and he held her hand, stopping her.
