His Butterfly

Chapter 2

Noah's POV

I take Jules' hand and lead her out onto the beach right outside our apartment. Earlier today I had asked Kassidy for help setting this up. Though I didn't tell her who or what this was for. If I told her she probably would've freaked out.

The sky is dark with the stars shining. A perfect little date with Jules. 

Candles are lit all around the area. I hear her gasp and look around. "It's beautiful," I hear her angelic voice whisper softly. 

I laugh nervously and scratch the back of my head. "Yeah. I kinda felt bad that I never really took you out on a full date so." I say and gesture around us.

"Well I love it. Thank you," She says and wraps her arms tightly around me. I hug her back and kiss the top of her head.

"Hungry?" I ask her. She nods her head and sits down. She opens the basket up and starts to dig in. The Carson sisters take their food very seriously. And I love them for that. Obviously I love Lily like a sister. I just don't know if I can use that word to Jules quite yet.

I stare at her. Creepy right? But she just looks so beautiful. She looks at me and cocks her head to the side. 

"Your not eating?" She asks me. 

"Oh right." I say and laugh nervously. No girl has ever made me nervous before. Until Jules. 

"So tell me. Do you, I don't know have a boyfriend by any chance?" I ask her just to make sure I'm not picking the wrong fight with anybody. Though I doubt they will make it out alive if it comes to that.

She laughs loudly and I couldn't stop myself from smiling even further. Her laugh is contagious.

"You think I have a boyfriend?" She asks. her laugh dialing down.

"Well, I mean you know. Just in case," I say, avoiding my eyes from looking at hers.

I can hear her laugh again. I look at her once again and she shakes her head. "Of course not. If I were I would not even be here with you right now. Plus, I'm not a cheater. Cheaters don't deserve love at all." She says.

Thank goodness.

"Well since you don't have a boyfriend, i was wondering if---" I am interrupted by a voice behind us.

"There you are!" We both turn around to see Kassidy standing there with her arms crossed looking straight at me. "I was so worried about!" She says and rushes to hug me. 

She takes a seat right between Jules and I. 

Kassidy and I have known each other for a very long time. We use to have a thing for each other until she left for college. Our futures just couldn't see us with each other.

"Kass, what are you doing out here?" I ask her. She snuggles into me.

"Mmmmm. I went to see you in your room but I couldn't find you." She mumbles. 

"Oh?" I say, not knowing what to respond with. "Why were you in my room?" I ask her

"Yeah. I was so worried something terrible happened to you. I just had a nightmare and I couldn't sleep. I remember when you used to hold me at night. Remember those times?" She asked me.

"Umm." I say

"Oh don't tell me you don't remember! We used to hold hands, just like this. And you would stroke my hair and hold me tightly." She says. What the hell is this woman doing?

I turn my head to look at Jules. She looks away from my gaze and starts to stand up. "I should uh, probably head back. it's getting pretty late." She says and walks away.

I attempt to stand up but Kassidy only pulls me down. "Kassidy, we should get going. It is getting late," I tell her. "Kassidy?" I shake her but her eyelids flutter close. Great.

I carry her back to her room. I knock on her door and Madi opens up. "Noah?" 

"Hey I'm just here to drop off Kassidy." I say and lay her down on the bed. I look around the room but don't see Jules. "Where'd Jules go?" I ask Madi.

"She's in the bathroom," Madi shrugs. "You should go. Goodnight Noah." She says and practically shoves me out the door.

"Good" she slams the door in my face before I could even finish. "night," I say and sigh. I walk back to my room and find Jordan and Chase sitting on my bed with smirks on their faces.

"Soooo. How'd it go?" Jordan asks. 

"Did you guys kiss?" Chase asks. Gosh they are both so annoying. I grab a pillow and throw it at their faces. 

Chase catches one while Jordan got a hit to the face.

"Ow. Geeze someone got laid tonight and doesn't wanna talk about it," Jordan says rubbing his nose. 

"I did not," I sigh.

"Then what happened?" Chase asks me.

"Just shut up. Your guys' voices are killing me," I say as I rub my hands over my face.
