     "Pretty popular," Noah laughed as my notifications went off.
     "It's just Jayden and Jules," I explained turning right to look at him. "They spam all day long."
     "I still wanna meet them," he said. He had been talking about meeting all my friends all day.
     "I want you to meet them too." That was only half true. Sure, I'd love for them to meet, but I couldn't be sure that Jayden and Jules wouldn't ruin things somehow. Don't get me wrong they're great friends, but sometimes people say the wrong things. And I couldn't risk losing Noah.
     "Are they around this week?" he asked curiously. "Maybe we can go to Melrose or something? Or whatever they like to do."
     "I can ask them," I gave in.
     "Great," he nodded. "If they don't want to, don't pressure them though."
     "Trust me, they want to," I chuckled. "I'll text them later tonight. You go home Saturday?"
"Yeah," he sighed. We still hadn't said anything about what might happen with us when life goes back to normal. To be honest, I'm terrified he wants us to be just a "fling."I don't have the emotional strength for those. I suddenly felt my stomach drop as if I hadn't already thought about this dozens of times. "You good?" he asked, clearly noticing the change in my expression.
"Yeah," I shook my head, trying to clear my anxiety.
"What is it?" he asked and put his hand on my lower thigh.
"Ok," I started. My eyes couldn't go any higher than his hand. "I know it's still early and we can figure this out later... but do you think we're just a...fling...type...thing?" I could see him bite his lip and look down in my peripheral vision. Oh god.
     "You jump right to the important stuff, huh?" he chuckled nervously.
     "Sorry," I apologized.
     "No, don't," he said. "It's better to talk about this now...So nobody gets hurt, I mean." I nodded.
     "So..?" I prompted him.
     "Well I'm going to be completely honest with you because I know you're not one to play around," he said. "I never wanted us to just be a one and done kind of thing... I mean I know we live so far away and stuff, but I figured we'll wait the week out and see what our thoughts are then." I took a second to take that in.
     "Ok," I finally said.
     "Are you on the same page? Or at least the same...chapter?" I laughed quietly at his joke.
     "Yeah," I nodded. "I just don't know what'll happen at the end of the week if we think we should...keep going."
     "I don't want to think about that right now," he shook his head. "Don't want to waste our time worrying."
     "You're right," I sighed. "So what do you wanna do?"
     "I wanna do this," he said. He reached over to my nightstand and picked up my TV remote. He then turned it on, opened Netflix, and handed it over to me. "Pick something." Wow, a lot of pressure. I scrolled through different movies and shows until I landed on a movie called Flipped. I had never seen it before, but I had heard great things. I looked over to see Noah smiling and nodding. With that approval, I pressed play. I then jumped up to quickly turn off the lights before jumping back onto my bed. Barely a second after I hit the mattress, Noah's arms grabbed me and pulled me into his chest. I wrapped my arms around him and laid my head on his shoulder so his cheek was pressing against the top of my head.
I didn't realize how tired I was until I realized I hadn't been paying any attention to the movie and my eyes were closed. I also felt Noah's thumb rubbing small circles on my cheek. I kept drifting in and out of sleep and I didn't even try to stay awake.
     "Oh wow, the kid playing young Bryce actually looks like him," I heard Noah say. I simply hummed in response. I felt his head turn ever so slightly just so he could see my closed eyes. "You really don't like this movie, do you?" he whispered jokingly. I tried to smile and I think I did, but it used up all my energy. I heard the TV volume lower a little and I fell into a peaceful sleep.

     "Hey Dovie," I heard a British whisper in my ear.
     "Hmm?" I responded. My eyes were still closed and I noticed my face was pressed into a clothed chest.
     "Your mum ordered food, it's almost here."
     "Oh god, how long was I asleep?" I still didn't open my eyes.
     "Around an hour and a half," he answered. "I was out for a good portion of that time as well."
"Did my mom come up or something?" I asked.
"Yeah, she actually took a picture of us but her ringer was on so I woke up." Oh god.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry," I cringed.
"Don't be. I made her send me the picture," he blushed.
"Wow...Send it to me too."

A/N- sorry this is on the shorter side. The next chapter will be relatively long. Also thanks for 1k reads!
