Chapter 11
*** Lana's POV ***
I woke up to the sound of seagulls, and I inhaled the fresh sea air deeply as I stepped out onto the balcony. I had almost forgotten where I was for a moment, and honestly, I still felt like I was dreaming.
I had had the most peaceful sleep last night, since before the night with Noah. No tossing, or turning, no thoughts about work. Just a perfect nights rest.
I quickly showered and slipped on some faded jean shorts and a white tank top. I let my hair loose as it dried and smiled as I found Evan waiting for me at the breakfast nook.
"Sleep well?", he asked.
"Almost too well, this place is amazing!", I gushed as I helped myself to a piece of toast.
"Thanks, now you know why I'm always gushing about it. It's so peaceful and the perfect weekend getaway and my parents never bother to rent it out so it's practically free whenever I want to use it. And now that invitation is extended to you"

*** Noah's POV ***I pulled up to the stunning beach house and paused, hesitantly. As I switched off the ignition and lifted my helmet over my head, I couldn't ignore the butterflies that had been swarming my stomach all week, just the thought of Lana sent me spiralling, and now I was about to see her out of the workplace, I couldn't avoid her as easily here.I had been fighting myself all week, I wanted to talk to her and look into her gorgeous stormy eyes, but I remembered what I was to her.. 'A drunken mistake', and though I yearned for her, my pride won the battle over my longing.During my ride over here, I let the cool wind blow against me as I rode my black Yamaha Virago. It was the perfect time to let go, to not feel anything but the world around me and the hum of the bike as I sped free away from the city, and yet all I could do was rehearse what I might say to Lana if we met face to face tonight.Forgetting everyt

*** Lana's POV *** I think I just made the world record for most emotions felt, and changed in the shortest amount of time possible. When I heard the shrill cry I wasn't really focusing, I didn't hear what she said. Only when I looked up and met his watchful gaze did I really pay attention. Shock, hope, excitement, longing... anger, jealousy, disappointment. Noah was here, and he had someone else hanging onto his arm. Of course, he did, he was gorgeous and looked the part of your classic bad boy lover in his leather jacket... Why did I think he would still be interested in me after what I had said? I shouldn't be surprised that he's moved on already, more so I shouldn't care... He wasn't mine to claim. So why does it bother me so much to see him with someone else...? I recognised her face, I think she's one of the receptionists. I hadn't bothered to learn her name, I didn't really have any

If you are new, I appreciate you and thank you too. Secondly, a couple of people both on this story and my previous have asked if I have any social media... I have created an I N S T A account (I have to space it otherwise it's censored out) called its.almost.blue. And thirdly, if you guys have any feedback please don't hesitate to share it with me! I am trying out this new style of different points of view, do you guys like it? Should I continue, stop or simply do less frequent changes of their points of view, so instead of every/every second chapter maybe I could change it to every 5 chapters? Let me know!

*** Lana's POV ***The sound of seagulls screeching, searching for their breakfast woke me up. I stretched lazily and groaned as my body ached all over. With my eyes still shut tightly, I snuggled into the warm embrace of Noah, who was still sound asleep beside me.I replayed last nights events as my mind slowly woke up... Noah and me. He found me down on the beach, and claimed me once more... actually several times more.I shifted uncomfortably, why was I so stiff?The sounds of the beach were so much closer than they had been yesterday morning, I must have left my door open all night.Wait a minute...I don't remember going back last night...Hesitantly I started opening my eyes, grimacing as my eyes adjusted to the sun that was slowly starting to rise in front of us. I gently removed myself from Noah's embrace, careful not to wake him, and I scratched my sand-covered head as I gingerly lo

*** Noah's POV ***"Oh no, oh hell no"I couldn't help but laugh as I watched Lana's face change from shock, disbelief, annoyance and slight regret."No, no, no. Do you think it's too late to call the driver and Evan back?""Don't tell me the fierce Lana Harris is afraid of a motorcycle?""No, I'm not!", She fought back defensively."So what's the problem?""I've... I've never been on one before", she looked away nervously.Seeing her nervous, a woman who is normally strong, and determined, pulled at my heartstrings. I wanted to take her into my arms and make her feel safe, but I also felt excitement at being the one to introduce her to the sensation of being on a motorbike."Lana, you'll love it. Trust me, you're safe with me", I handed her the spare helmet that Evan had the driver pick up and smiled the most reassuring smile I could ever give her.Lana took a deep brea

"Stop! This whole thing is a sham, and I have the proof!" ... Today was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life. It was supposed to be one of those, 'You can have your cake and eat it too', kinds of moments. Silly girl, my cynical side snickered. I should know by now that fairy tales are far from reality. I looked for the nearest exit, I couldn't stand by for another minute as my world crumbled around me. I darted through the shocked crowd, their faces scrunched up in disgust. I didn't care what they thought of me, I didn't care about anything. Not now after I had sacrificed so much, only to have it all taken away from me just moments ago...

"Lana? Lana, this is your 5 am wake up call- Oh for goodness sake!"I sat in my plush living room chair and watched with an amused smirk as my executive assistant, Evan, stumbled into view.He was dressed in an impeccable suit, as usual, and his blonde hair was slicked back into a quiff style. His oversized glasses were sliding halfway down his nose and dazzling blue eyes squinted as he looked at me with annoyance."You said to be here when you wake up""Yes, and that was an hour ago. So, you're already late and you know how I feel about tardiness""You're impossible to please, thank God I'm just your assistant and not your lover""Yes well, something tells me a man such as yourself wouldn't know where to start with me", I said with a sly smile."And that's where you're wrong", Evan smiled triumphantly as he handed me a steaming hot coffee."Ahh", I exhaled with joy as I eagerly took the coffee from his hands, "remind me wh

Tick, Tick, Tick.The sound of my watches hands ticking by were the only sound I could hear right now. My office was on the top floor of ELH Firm's corporate high rise and is located in NYC, a bustling constant source of noise, so the windows are of course soundproof.A gentle knock on my closed office door tore me away from the anxious thoughts that had begun to make their way into my mind."Lana? Your fathers here", Evan said softly as he stepped into the room."Right, I'll be there in a minute"Evan shut the door behind him as I made my way over to the ceiling length windows that wrapped around the entire building.I had been in many a presentation, both presenting and sitting in, but whenever my father attended one, it made me nervous. He usually only sat in for our most important clients, but with talks of his retirement soon approaching and rival companies attempting to poach our clients, I couldn't help but
