Chapter 11

Picture of Noah on the side…………..

The weekend passed very slowly. It felt like years. On Saturday, like usual I spent my day with Noah at his place. I had fun off course, but I so badly wanted to say those three words. I just couldn’t gather any courage. We talked about anything and everything, except what I actually needed to talk about. It is seriously frustrating.

And here I am sitting on my bed on a Sunday, texting Noah. He had called me in the morning and we talked for a few minutes and were now just texting. I phone buzzed in my hand. It was Noah. Why is he calling me right now? He never calls in the evening.

“Hey. Everything ok?” I asked concerned. I have known him for three months now. He never calls at this hour unless, he needs something.

He chuckled. “Yes everything is ok. I wanted to tell you something. But, you are always thinking in a negative way.” He said.

“That is so not true. Anyway what do you have to say?” I asked quickly changing the subject. I agree I am a little pessimistic but, I am not going to tell him that.

He sighed and was quiet for a while. Noah and quite, strange. “I was in the music store just an hour ago. I met someone.” He said.

Whom did he meet? Was it a girl? I felt jealous. “Whom did you meet?" I asked.

He didn’t say anything soon. Damn, he is killing me. Just say and get over with it. “A girl. She is joining our school from tomorrow. Her name is Cassie and she is from Ohio.” He said excitedly.

I knew it would be something like this. “Oh.” I said. I couldn’t come up with anything else. I love this boy and he is telling me about some girl. How am I supposed to react?

“That’s all you are going to say, oh? Really?” he asked. I can imagine him shaking his head in disbelief with a small smile playing on his lips.

I don’t know what else to say. “Then, what should I say? You met her and had fun.” I said frowning even though no can see it.

He chuckled softly. Yeah just keep chuckling. I am sure you’re having fun. “Oh, are you jealous?” he asked.

“No. Why would I be?” I said instantly even though it was not true. I love him and it gives me the right to be jealous and I don’t think anyone would disagree with me.

“Don’t worry. You’re still my no 1 girl.” He said sincerely and I smiled. I believed him. But, I thought for a minute that he liked this Cassie.

We talked on the phone for an hour when, he finally hung up. I could talk to him for hours without a break. He is so easy to get along with. I had to sleep now, tomorrow was Monday. My phone vibrated, it was a text from Will.

Please tell me that you talked to Noah. Xx

Will have been texting me throughout the weekend to ask the same question? Did you tell Noah? He was helping me I know but it’s not that easy. He won’t understand that unless, he falls in love with someone. I hope he didn’t tell anyone. I had asked him not to so, hopefully he wouldn’t have.

No, I didn’t. I didn’t get time. Will talk to you tomorrow. Gn x

I kept my phone back on the nightstand and climbed on my bed. I was reading a book. In books, the love that is shown, I wonder if it’s true. I want that someday. I believe that the boys in the book really exist. My prince charming, my soul mate. I have already found him; it’s Noah. The way he makes me feel, is out of this world. I sighed and closed the book, placing it on the nightstand. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

My alarm was buzzing loudly. Why couldn’t it ring after a few minutes, I was having a good dream. Noah was just about to kiss me when, the stupid alarm went off. I got up and went to my bathroom. My good dream. I brushed my teeth and showered quickly. Noah always came on time. So, I didn’t like to be late.

I pulled on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a white color t-shirt. I never bothered with make-up. I just dried my hair and clipped the bangs. I applied some lip gloss and ran downstairs. My parents were already at the table. Dad was telling mom something and she was listening curiously.

“Good morning.” They both chirped when they saw me. I smiled and sat on the table. I poured myself a glass of orange juice and mom placed a plate with fruit salad and toast in front of me. I was munching on my toast talking to my parents about school and stuff.

There was a knock at the door. I removed my cell from the pocket and looked at the time. It wouldn’t be Noah, I still have 10 minutes. But, I was proved wrong when Noah entered the lounge with my mom, laughing about something.

Noah smiled at me and winked like he always did. I smiled back; it was just a natural response to him. “Have breakfast Noah.” My mom said pointing at the empty chair beside me. He sat down making himself comfortable and smirked at me, looking over me.

I rolled my eyes but, was actually glad that he was paying so much attention to me. I liked it. When he looked at me like that I didn’t feel conscience but, if someone else did this, I would be disgusted. I trusted Noah even if he was a player and had broke many hearts. It was my heart now, on the line. I wish he won’t break it.

After breakfast, we left for school. The school day passed like it always did slowly. It was lunch time now. I was sitting with my friends and Noah chatting happily and laughing at anything silly. I had come very close to them in the past few days. I use to think that Rachel and I could be really close. But, it was Will. Noah was sitting beside me on left and Amber on my right.

Except the lunch, the school was pretty boring. I was so bored by the end of the day, that I was feeling sleepy. I was sitting in the library, waiting for Noah to come and get me. I crossed my arms on the table in front of me and laid my head on it.

Someone ruffled my hair and I jerked up. I was scared; I turned around to see Noah smiling at me playfully. “Hi, sleeping beauty. Ready to go.” He said.

I nodded. I was picking up all of my stuff and shoving it into the bag. Noah came up to me and helped me get all of my books. We walked to the car and left the school. I was yawning all the way back to my house, making Noah chuckle. He stayed for dinner. I am so not in the state to cook. Maybe we could order a pizza or maybe Chinese.

I fumbled with my keys and finally managed to open the door. Why am I so tired today? I should eat something. I only had a salad at lunch today and damn, I am hungry. Salads cannot be very hunger satisfying. Noah followed me, watching me intently. I walked into my room and changed into some sweats.

“You ok?” Noah asked concerned. He was holding my hand tugging me towards the couch. He made me sit and he sat next to me.

“Yeah, I am ok. Just tired. Can we order a take out today?” I asked pouting a little. He loved to make me cook for us every day. He loved my food. I was pouting so; he wouldn’t be able to say no. He was too easy to please.

He laughed. I loved that sound. “Ok pizza or Chinese?” He asked removing his cell phone from his pocket. I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe we could order Chinese; he likes it more than pizza. I like pizza more but, it doesn’t matter.

I got up and removed the menu of a Chinese place from the drawer of a bar unit. I handed it to Noah and plopped on the couch, turning on the T.V. “Chinese? I thought you like pizza more.” He asked raising an eyebrow curiously.

“Yeah, but you like Chinese more so, order it.” I said easily. I settled on the movie Terminator 2 and tossed the remote at him.

“You don’t always have to think about what I like.” He said looking at me sternly. He was so serious. He thinks I always do that?

“Come on. It’s not a big deal. I like to think about you first.” I said and regretted it as soon as the words left my mouth. I bit my lip nervously and looked away from his intense gaze. I shouldn’t have said that. It is so stupid. Stupid, Rebecca. I mentally slapped myself.

Noah just moved to me and hugged me tightly as if afraid to let go. I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed him in. Wow, I am an obsessive stalker. His grip on me had not loosened at all. Honestly, I never wanted it to. I was about to say I love you but I stopped. Just on time, that was close.

A few minutes passed and he let go of me. I missed his contact almost immediately. I love him more than I think I do. He brushed my hair of my face gently, keeping his eyes on me. I was drowning in his eyes. “You are so thoughtful. Even my parents never thought of me so much. Thank you. You don’t know how much it means to me.” He said.

I could hear the honesty in his words. He meant everything he said to me. And I loved him for it. He never lied to me whatever is. Even if he did try, I could easily see through it. I didn’t know what else to say. I just hugged him again. I kept my head on his heart so; I could listen to his heartbeats. He wrapped his arms around me. Now I felt complete.

We chatted and had Chinese for dinner. I was feeling so sleepy. I laid my head on Noah’s shoulder while, he watched some action movie. I drifted of to sleep. I felt two strong hands under me. I opened my eyes. Noah was carrying me to bed. His one hand was under my back and the other under my thighs. I closed my eyes again.

He laid me on the bed very carefully and pulled the sheets tugging me in. He was moving away. Where is he going? I caught his hand and pulled him back on the bed with as much as strength I could gather. “Stay with me, please.” I begged in a soft voice.

He moved away and pulled me to his chest. I smiled and looked up at him. He was looking at me so tenderly; it was making my heart melt. He bent down slightly looking at me with a look I couldn’t make out. Our lips were now inches away. Maybe he was waiting for me make the first move. I moved a little more close to him. He was looking at my lips then, in my eyes.

We heard a noise from downstairs and we jerked away from each other. It must be my parents. Couldn’t they come after five minutes? They ruined our moment. I was so sure we would have kissed if they hadn’t made any noise and would’ve had quietly gone to their room. I looked at Noah biting my lip nervously. He looked a little shocked and pissed at the same time.

He wanted to kiss me too. “I should go now.” He said quietly looking a little uncomfortable. I was wide awake now.

I nodded and got out of the bed. “Thanks for carrying me, to my bed.” I said walking with him to the door my room.

“It was definitely my pleasure.” He said winking at me. He is such a flirt. I just laughed and He opened the door and stepped in the hallway. “I will go from here. Don’t come down. And tomorrow I will not be able to drive you to school ok?” He said.

I nodded and smiled at him. He walked down the stairs and I heard the main door close. I sighed and closed my bedroom door. I should have told him how I feel, it was a perfect moment. He was going to kiss me. He feels something about me right? Otherwise why would he want to kiss me? I slumped on my bed and was staring at the ceiling.

Enough is enough. Tomorrow you are going to tell him about your feelings. I mentally registered it. Let him decide what he wants. If he doesn’t feel the same way then, I will be able to let go. If he has some feelings for me than, I would date the boy of my dreams. Either way it is not good to bottle up my feelings like this. I will say those three words to him tomorrow and that’s final. Tomorrow is going to change my life, in a good way or a bad way. I can just pray that nothing bad can happen. I closed my eyes and fell asleep almost immediately.
