"Charles.." Noelle said when she reluctantly pulled her lips off him. "I need to get back to Sophie before she gets worried or sees us". She could see a small smile creep on his face while his hand was still on her cheek. "She warned me not to do this, you know? She's going to kill me". Charles brought his lips closer to her ear after he placed a small kiss on her cheek and whispered: "She doesn't have to find out.." Noelle felt herself clench her thighs together at his words, the tingling sensation running down her spine at his proposition of sneaking around behind her best friend's back. Her eyes sparkled when he pulled back to look at her and she planted one more lingering kiss on his lips before she loosened herself from his grip and headed back towards the dancefloor.

Sophie was still dancing with Gabriel, although her eyes spotted her best friend immediately once she returned. "Where did you go? You look like you're on fire!" Sophie yelled over the music and Noelle's hand felt her cheeks. She knew she was blushing and her skin felt hot to the touch. "I needed some fresh air, I did some sambuca shots with Charles earlier and they went straight to my head". Noelle answered, fully aware of the real cause of the fire inside of her body. She felt it everywhere. Her legs had been trembling from the moment she separated from Charles as if he had been the one to hold her up the entire time. Her eyes were drawn to him at any second he was not in her sight, looking for him as if she needed to know where he was at all times. The hairs on her arms stood up straight when their eyes caught each other's again, not able to look away and almost being drawn together like magnets.

The group danced together, singing loudly to the music and having the time of their lives until the early hours. When Noelle noticed the club was getting emptier and she checked the time on her phone, she walked over to her best friend. "I think I'm going to go home!" Noelle said when she reached the still dancing couple. She wanted to give Sophie some time with Gabriel so she gave her best friend a hug, reminding her to text her when she got home safely and promising her to do the same before she grabbed her phone to order an Uber. Charles had been dragged out of the club by his friends to go get something to eat a while ago and it made Noelle a little sad that she didn't get to say goodbye to him properly before heading home.

She got into the back of the car that stopped in front of her, greeted the driver and let her head fall against the window, thinking about everything that had happened tonight. Luckily she was home in a few minutes and she thanked the chauffeur before she got out again, fishing her keys from her purse and slowly opening the door of her building. When she got home, Noelle let herself fall on her sofa and stared at the ceiling for a while. 'What the hell is happening to me?' She thought when she couldn't get the look of Charles' green eyes out of her brain. But before she could even think about what it was that she felt, her phone beeped.

Charles 🏎️:
Did you go home? I'm back at the club but I can't find you anywhere. X

Noelle's eyes went wide when she read his message. 'Why would he go back?' Usually, they went to grab food and then head home straight after. She lifted her phone to take a selfie before she started typing her reply.

Noelle ✨:
*photo sent*
I did! Just got home, didn't think you would come back again! X

Charles 🏎️:
I wanted to say goodnight to you.. 😞

Her heart started beating faster. 'Why was she feeling like this?' He had been one of Noelle's closest friends for years and she had never been attracted to him in that way. But she couldn't help herself. Her fingers had a mind of their own when they typed her reply.
