Likes And Dislikes

Noah watched doubts and hesitation crossed Jess's eyes. He couldn't blame her. What he did was something worth all the distrust that she could give him. 

He understood that she put her in a situation where she has to think over what happened. Any woman would do. He went incognito after sleeping with her and to add fuel to the ember of distrust in her heart, the stupid misunderstanding of giving her a breakup present. 

She didn't answer his question, she just stared back at his eyes. He exhaled a soft breath and kissed those pairs of eyes that were staring at his soul. 

He doesn't want her to see his guilt and the lies. He could make himself believe that the lies were necessary and he chose to not tell Jess all of it — for now. That he would tell her everything later on when he has an idea of what was happening. 

'Or when you can trust her enough.' a small part of his brain said.
