Chapter 3 The First Contact

The party had ended in the most unpleasant situation.And now,Noah and Valeria were being driven home by Lucas.The silence in the car had been suffocating, and Valeria had to clench her teeth together to stop herself from yelling.

Noah stares intently at his phone. The video of his argument with April has found its way on to the internet and he is the most hottest searched words right now. This is one scandal he can do without right now.

Anger was evident in his eyes as he cursed beneath his breath. He slammed the phone hard on his lap.Lucas watched from the rear view mirror and sighs. Sometimes it's still hard for him to fathom how one person will hold so much anger.

The car came to a halt in front of Noah's home and he exited the car without waiting for Valeria.He walks through the series of stairs that led upstairs to his room.

He opens his bedroom door,got in and slam it hard behind him forgetting it's now his matrimonial room.He threw his phone over the wall as he heaves in irritation.The one thing that angered him the most is the look of contempt on his father's face.He knows he would get a good hearing from him.

The door opens slowly and it reveals Lucas guiding Valeria into the room.Noah glared as he remembered it was no longer his private room.He watches her.He could not deny how attractive she actually looks.

"I will clear the articles tomorrow sir,have a good night rest" Lucas said and left.If normally there wasn't something that went wrong,he would have teased Noah about having a good time on his wedding night but he couldn't risk his head tonight. He left the two newly weds alone, each aware that they are now alone with each other.

Valeria was seated at the edge of the bed which had been decorated with red flower petals.If only she could see it, then she could admire it but she could only smell the floral frangrance that envelopes the room.The silence was killing her and she felt the need to talk.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable with me here?" Valeria said with her soft voice.

"Yes" Noah said without preambles, he sees no need to pretend otherwise because he was definitely not comfortable.

"Oh" Valeria didn't think he will bluntly answer her.That made her feel somewhat at ease because now she knows her husband isn't one of those people who will pretend or act out of pity for her.

There was silence again.Noah looked over at Valeria and contemplated on talking.

"Aren't you going to shower?" he said with little compassion in him.

"Oh...Emma helps me out on that but she's not here and I can't trouble you to call someone to help out so I will probably sleep in this" Valeria said.Noah was surprised to hear her answer him with glee when he thought she would be terrified.

"I guess Emma was your maid?" Noah said while he unbuttons his shirt from the top.

"My assistant"Valeria corrected with a smile on her face.Noah furrowed his brows,he hates when people try to correct or tell him he is not right about something and Valeria just did that without knowing.

He said nothing till he finished undressing.He cared less of his nudity, even if Valeria wasn't blind, he would have undressed in front of her, he knew he has a great body. He walks inside the bathroom and turn on the shower.

Valeria turned her head to the direction of where she heard the shower.Her face flushed at the thought of what she had heard about wedding nights.She knew hers will be different of course because no man have ever wanted her because of her impairment and Noah isn't any different.

Suddenly,Valeria felt like exploring the room with her hands.They had always been her weapons to master her surroundings.She had easily walked around the house in her father's home,and more with the help of her pet,Daisy. More like a guard dog though,her father had bought it to protect her ever since her accident.

Valeria's thoughts drifts to the dog. Daisy had been her one and only best friend since they had been united.She couldn't wait to meet up with her again the next day.

Valeria started to run her hands through the laid bed first.Her hands measures how large the bed is as she climb unto it to feel it more.The beddings were properly made and she had touched the flowers petals which she doesn't know because she has never touched one.

As she begins to shift more on the bed,unknowingly to her,she was already at the left edge of the bed, and dangerously close to falling off.

"Thump" The loud and ominous sound of Valeria falling off the bed, made Noah rush out of the bath area and into the room with a towel wrapped around his body.He saw Valeria lying helplessly with her back on the floor.

"Oh God..." he muttered as he run towards where Valeria lay with the wedding gown all fluffed up around her, she looks like a fallen angel.Without thinking of his half naked body,he bends over to tend to her.

"What were you thinking to be so reckless?" he said in a loud but caring voice which left even himself puzzled on how sweet and stupid he had sounded.

"I was just trying to get used to here,I need to at least feel the little I can, I will be familiar afterwards" a smile hung on the corners of her mouth.Noah wondered why she was still this sweet and unspoiled despite the fact that fate has not treated her nicely despite how young she is.

He helped her up with his hand at her waist. Valeria's hand tries to find support and lands on Noah's bare chest.She recoiled from the contact and she quickly get her hand off him while her face flush crisom and her heart starts pounding wildly in her chest.

"I'm sorry"She said quietly while Noah watched her face and ask himself the wisdom in what he's about to do, and he knows he's probably going to regret it.

"I can help in assisting you with a bath"he said knowing that as her husband he doesn't need to ask for her permission.
