Chapter 27

This summer holidays are the best thing that could happen to me. I know it’s too early to say it’s been like just two weeks but it’s the best. Noah and I have been spending every minute together for last few days. We have been to movies, restaurants; park everything that I can possibly think of. He has been so sweet and thoughtful planning out every day for something for us to do. I have never been so happy in my whole my life.

Today he is taking me to the club seen tomorrow is my birthday. He wanted to do something special so I asked him if he could get us in this club. It’s going to be so much fun; he is going to get us fake ids because of our age thing. I can’t believe he is actually doing everything for me. He has been sneaking into my room every night when I don’t stay over at his.

It’s like we are in a relationship. We go on dates, we spend most of the time together, we stay in at one of our houses and we sleep together, sometimes we do actually sleep. He is not looked at another girl since the night we first hooked up which came as a big surprise for me. At the end I am going to tell him and maybe after that I won’t get to see him again. I pushed that thought aside, I am going to enjoy whatever time I have left with him and savor it’s every second.

I am going over at Will’s right now. I haven’t talk to him much since that party, it’s like he is avoiding me. Noah wanted to do something else but I convinced him so he is going to pick me up at night and take me to that club. I pulled a pair of jeans and threw a t-shirt over the top. I drove to will’s place. I stopped at the front door and took a deep breath. I am here but I don’t know what really to say or do to make him feel better.

I knocked on the door and waited. Will opened the door and looked at me shocked and surprised clearly not expecting me to be here. “Hey.” I said smiling at him.

“Hi. What you doing here?” He asked looking behind me. He opened the door fully and motioned me to come inside.

I shrugged. “I haven’t seen you in a while. How are you?” I asked. Ok, stick with the small talk I reminded myself.

“How do you think I am? I know why you are here.” He said taking hand and pulling me to the lounge. I sat on the couch and Will sat next to me.

“Just trying to make a conversation." I muttered softly but he heard it. I sighed; I knew this was going to happen.

“I am sorry.” I said honestly. I know how it feels to like someone who doesn’t feel the same way about you. I have been there and felt that, I feel like a bitch putting him through the same.

“It’s not your fault, not really. I liked you since you started school. I will be fine.” He said not even looking at me.

I moved closer to him and threw an arm around his shoulder. “Is there anything I can do for you?” I asked genuinely.

He shrugged. “There is not much you can do. Just want you ask you something.” He said looking at the floor.

“Anything.” I said. Please don’t ask something where I would have to hurt you again I prayed silently. I don’t like this.

“Why won’t you give me a chance? Am not good enough or something?” he asked looking at me the first time since I got here today.

Oh crap, what should I say now? Go with the truth I guess but I don’t want him to feel bad. “Look, Will there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You are amazing, the problem is me. It’s not that I don’t want to give you a chance, I wish could. You know how I feel about Noah and honestly I don’t think I will ever be able to feel this way about someone else.” I said.

Will nodded and looked down. “I just didn’t want you lead you on anymore than I already have. It would have ended badly with you and me being both being unhappy and not even friends. I really don’t want to lose what we have. You are like my best friend and you mean a lot to me.” I said honestly.

He smiled at me sadly. “I never get any girl I like. There’s got to be something wrong with me.” He said and ran a hand through his hair.

“Don’t be silly, there is nothing wrong with you. You know one day you are going to make some girl very happy and she would be lucky to have you. All her friends would be jealous of her and she would have some competetion. You would have more choice.” I said nudging him trying to lighten the mood.

It worked he smiled. “Yeah I would like that. Maybe I am too nice, girls end up falling for bad boys. Have you noticed? You did the same.” He said.

I smiled, that is actually true. “Yeah you are right. Girls like bad boys but they should treat them properly.“ I replied smiling.

“In the college I am going to build myself a reputation of a womanizer than I would have girls falling at my feet.” He said smirking at me.

I slapped his arm playfully. I spent around an hour with him at his place. We laughed and chatted about college and stuff. I had missed this I am so glad everything is back to normal. I had thought that he might not even want to be friends anymore. I decided to leave because I have to get ready Noah will be picking me up just under two hours.

“I should leave me and Noah are going out today.” I said getting up from the couch.

“Good, have fun. What are your plans for tomorrow?” he asked walking with me to the front door.

I shrugged. “I have not really planned anything. Let’s see, I am thinking about asking you guys to come with me to movie or something. It’s been awhile since we hung out all of us together.” I said.

“Sounds good. Give me a call if you decide anything. Shit, wait here just for one minute, I will be right back.” Will said and ran up the stairs.

What with him? I crossed my arms on my chest and stood at the door waiting for Will. He came down few minutes later with his one hand behind his back. He removed his hand and I saw he was holding a rectangular packet wrapped with silver paper with a bow on top. “This is for you, if we don’t meet tomorrow.” He said easily.

I took it and smiled gratefully at him. “Thank you. You shouldn’t have.” I said smiling and putting it in my bag. My first present for my eighteenth birthday, I am excited.

“Its nothing, got it long time back. Now go or you are going to be late.” He said. I stepped forward and hugged him quickly and left.

I am ready on time. I took a shower, got dressed and still have 10minutes before Noah comes to pick me up. I took my clutch and made my way downstairs. My parents were sitting on the couch watching TV, they saw me and smiled, I sat on the love seat which was diagonal of the couch. What are they watching? News, don’t they know about any other channels.

“You are looking so nice. Have fun tonight.” My dad said. I smiled at him and nodded a thanks and he started watching TV again.

“Have you decided on any college yet?” My mom asked. I sighed and took a deep breath. “I know you have said you will decide by the end of holidays but still. If you decide on NYU we will have to get your dad’s apartment there cleaned up. It’s a nice place you will like it there.” My mom said.

I nodded. “I will let you know what I decide. Please stop asking I keep getting confused about everything.” I said throwing my hands in the air in exasperation.

My dada had lowered the volume so he could listen to our conservation without being part of it. This is something I would have done too. Why isn’t Noah here yet? That moment there was a knock on the door and got up relieved. I missed him; I haven’t seen him since this morning. I opened the door and there he stood smiling at me. He handed me a bunch of roses and smiled. He is so romantic.

I waved him in and he went into the lounge and I into the kitchen. I put the flowers and arranged them the way I like. When I entered the lounge my parents were laughing and Noah was just smiling at himself proudly. “I am ready to go.” I said happily.

Noah got up and took my hand making me blush. “Take care of her and don’t be out too late.” My dad said.

I sighed, every time. “Off course. Let’s go.” Noah said tugging me along with him. I waved at my parents who were smiling at me and looking at our hands. I blushed and let Noah lead the way outside.

We stopped at the care. Noah turned around and kissed me pulling me closer to him. We both pulled out gasping for breath. “You are looking so beautiful.” He said putting his forehead to mine.

“You are not so bad yourself.” I said. He was wearing a white button down shirt and light blue ripped jeans making him look so hot.

We drove to the club laughing and chatting easily. We were standing in the line outside the club. Noah had his one hand around my waist since the moment we stepped out. I bit my lip nervously and looked at the six people in the line before us. We are not old and we have arranged for fake ids so technically this is illegal.

“Don’t worry, no one will know. Act normal and be cool.” Noah said in my ear. I nodded and he removed his hand from my waist only to intertwine our fingers.

Around 30 minutes later we were at the bar. I think I will have just one drink tonight; it’s my birthday eve after all. I won’t drink again just one tonight on trial basis. “I will have one double JD with coke.” I told to the barman.

Noah looked at me shocked. “You are going to drink?” he asked. I nodded eagerly and he smiled. “I will have an orange juice.” He told the barman.

I frowned and was about to ask when Noah spoke. “Someone has to stay sober right. I don’t need to drink to have fun. I always have fun with you.” He said shrugging.

I had that one drink and then just moved to coke. I was giggling and feeling unnecessarily happy. I just had one drink and I am out how stupid. Can anyone get drunk by just having one drink? Maybe I can, I giggled again. I want to dance. I pulled Noah to the dance floor and threw my arms around his neck pulling him very close to me. Our bodies were touching everywhere there was not an inch space.

“I am thirsty. Let’s get a drink.” I said loudly making people look at us. I shrugged and took Noah to the bar.

I was waiting for the drink. A girl with red hair came up to Noah and started flirting with him shamelessly. I wanted to rip her head off for looking at him but I might as well have some fun. Noah looked uncomfortable; I tapped on his shoulder to get his attention. He looked at me and smiled his beautiful smile. “What happened?” he asked concerned.

I shook my head. I want to kiss him and let all the girls know that he is taken. I wouldn’t normally do this but the alcohol in my system was giving me the confidence. I crashed my lips to his; he was taken by surprised but kissed me back in a few seconds. I tangled my hands in his hair and pulled him closer; his hands gripped my waist tightly pulling me to his hard chest.

He pulled away only to kiss down my neck. He made his way back to my lips and kissed me gently before pulling away. “Stop, if I don’t stop now I won’t be able too.” He said putting his forehead to mine.

We were both breathless. “Maybe I don’t want you to stop.” I said giving him a flirty look. He groaned and smiled at me.

“Please, don’t.” He said looking at me with a pained expression. I nodded and untangled my hands from his hair.

After a while I really got tired. I have been dancing and drinking for so long. I want to go home and sleep. It’s been almost three- four hours here. I hope I don’t get up tomorrow with hang over and spend my birthday moaning about it. “I want to go home.” I whined.

“Ok let’s go. You going to be able to walk?” he asked looking concerned. He is so over protective, I am not that drunk.

“Off course.” I said. He smiled and took my hand. I rested my head on his shoulder while he walked us out of the club.

I sat in the car looking outside the window. My eyes were getting heavy. I think I am going to fall asleep. I must have fallen asleep when two hands slid under me. I opened my eyes slowly to see Noah carrying me to my house. “Hey, go back to sleep.” He said. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder while he carried me through the house to my room.

I will have to change; I can’t sleep in my dress. “I need to change.” I mumbled sleepily. I removed my dress and went to the dresser but I couldn’t find my pajamas. I frowned and look through it again.

I sat on my bed and I heard Noah sigh. I blushed realizing I am not wearing many clothes but he has seen me in much less. “Here wear this.” He said unbuttoning his shirt and handing it to me.

I smiled and slipped on his shirt. His shirt smelled so good just like him, He jumped on the bed next to me and pulled me closer. I laid my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. This is the favorite part of my day, falling asleep and waking up in his arms. Life couldn’t get any better than this. I sighed happily and closed my eyes drifting off to sleep.

I woke up in the morning and turned around to see Noah smiling at me happily. I leaned in and kissed him just for a few seconds before pulling away. “Good morning.” I chirped.

He gave me a peck on my lips and smiled. “Mmm it is now.” He said making me laugh. He got off the bed and came back in a few seconds holding something in his hand. “Happy birthday.” He said smiling his angelic smile.

I got up excitedly. I love getting presents and opening them, it’s so exciting. “Thanks.” I said taking the small box wrapped in red paper from his hand.

I opened it quickly barely able to contain my excitement. I opened the box and gasped. It was a beautiful silver bracelet. It was so delicate and so pretty. He is so sweet, he has good taste. This must have cost him a fortune, it looked really expensive. “Its perfect, I love it.” I said honestly trailing my finger over it.

I love but it should I accept it? I know he got this for me but it must have cost him a fortune. He being there with me is the best gift for me; he doesn’t need to spend so much money on me. “Thanks but it’s really expensive it must have cost you a fortune.” I said grimacing.

” I got it for you that too few days back. If you don’t like it then we can change but don’t worry about anything else. It’s for you.” He said sternly.

“You sure?” I asked one last time to see if he was lying or anything. He nodded his head eagerly. I knew he wanted me to like it and I did, I loved it. “Thanks you, it’s beautiful.” I said. I raised my hand in front of me so he would put it on.

It’s so beautiful; he didn’t let me give him anything on his birthday and strictly told me not to. He pushed me on down on the bed and rolled on top of me pinning my hands above my head but still managing to keep his weight off me somehow. He kissed me passionately setting my body on fire and making me go weak in my knees. Yup, best birthday ever.
