A hearts flutter

Chapter 4

Falling deeper and deeper

Kit turned her head the other way "Nothings going on"

Noah sighed "Kit I know when you're lying to me"

He placed a hand on her shoulder and she shivered.

"Are you cold"? Before she could answer he had draped his jacked around her.

He turned her to face him and looked into her eyes. His face wearing a serious expression.

"Kit are you drinking again?"

"What? No!"

Once the shock had worn off, hurt filled her eyes.

"Kit I'm sorry, it's just you've been all quiet since you got here, you're upset, what was I to think? I mean you won't even tell me what's wrong"

Finally frustrated "Fine, if it means that much to you. I caught up with Rhys at the diner this afternoon and we had a bit of a chit chat and then I slapped him" she answered

If Noah was surprised he didn't show it.

"So why are you angry"?

"Phillips pulled me away before I could do any damage"

"Kit"

She looked up at him.

"Well he deserves some kind of punishment Noah, Look what his done to my family"

He pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket "Here"

Not even realizing she had been crying she wiped her eyes furiously. She couldn't let him see her crumbling.

He then pulled her in to a hug and Kit clung to him. But maybe it was too late for that

I shouldn't be doing this. She silently thought as her body started to tingle

A few moments later she whispered

"I mean can you blame me for how I feel?"

Noah rubbed her back silently and didn't answer.

He knew Kit Hunter, and there was much more to it than what she was sharing.

Noah shuffled into the kitchen. The palace was dark and fairly quiet except for the sound of the telly in the next room. Hayley looked up as he walked in.

"Hey" she smiled. "Where you been? It's almost 11:30"

"I've been with Kit. She needed someone to talk to" he explained at Hayley's confused look.

The blonde nodded "Quite a spectacle she was at the diner this afternoon"

Noah couldn't help but grin "I bet"

Hayley sighed "Poor Rhys didn't look so good when he left"

Noah yawned "Do me a favor and tell Kit that"

Hayley raised a brow "Okay then" she looked at his tired face "Off to bed "?

"Yeah it's been a busy day". He leant over and pecked her on the cheek

"Goodnight"

"Night, I'll be up in a bit".

Kit continued to look at the phone worriedly; she'd been doing so since she'd hung up 5 minutes ago

Tasha tapped her lightly on the shoulder.

"Waiting for a call"?

"No" answered Kit dully. I've just done something incredibly stupid she added silently.

"Then why are you staring at the phone"? Laughed Tash.

Kit shrugged and after a few more tries at trying to pry the red head from the phone the blonde gave up. She could vaguely hear what she said to Rob as they went out onto the back porch.

"I dunno what's wrong with her Rob, It' such a lovely day everyone should be out side"

Kit ran her fingers through her hair. Jake was coming to Summer Bay, if it were even possible things were about to get a whole lot more complicated.

I just keep on falling deeper and deeper
