Ross Harris - SAY IT BACK:
'Do you feel it when you kiss me that it's burning on my lips? Do you notice all the moments when I nearly let it slip? Every time I hold you, I get even closer to letting down my guard again. I hate that it's a secret, I'm tired of trying to keep it but if I say I love you. Would you say it back?'

Charles ❤️:
Hey beautiful, I don't want this to sound like a booty call, but are you still up? 😏

That was the text Noelle received about ten minutes ago, which made her heart almost beat out of her chest instantaneously. It was Sunday night, almost 1 AM and Noelle was just about to get ready to get to bed when her phone buzzed as Charles asked her if she was still awake. She had replied to him that she was and that he could come over and immediately threw her phone on her sofa, leaving the sketches she was working on right there on the coffee table and ran towards her bathroom. She quickly brushed through her hair, made sure the light bit of makeup she had put on earlier this morning when she went to get coffee was still looking decent and sprayed her neck with some perfume before quickly brushing her teeth.

Noelle had never expected Charles to come over straight from the airport but with everything that had happened this past week, it seemed like she hadn't seen him in forever and she was really looking forward to being in his arms again. After clearing up her apartment a bit, Noelle finally heard the knock on the door she had been waiting for. Without hesitating, she skipped towards her front door and opened it with a big smile on her face. "Oh my god, hi.." She breathed before she threw her arms around Charles' neck. His ones wrapped around her waist and he pulled her closer to his body while he buried his face in her blonde hair. "Bonjour, mon ange". Noelle felt a lump in her throat form at the sound of his tired voice and she squeezed him a little tighter at the realisation of what they, but mostly he had been through this past week.

After holding onto each other for a little while, Noelle slowly let go of Charles and cupped his face gently before placing a loving kiss on his lips. "Come on, let's sit you down". She said as she intertwined their fingers together and lead them to her sofa. "I didn't expect you to come over tonight". Noelle giggled as they sat down together, Charles pulling the blonde girl against his chest immediately. "It was an impulsive decision. The plane landed and I just needed to see you". He whispered while he stroked some hair out of her face. "I really missed you". Noelle looked up at the brown-haired boy next to her and showed him a small smile. "I missed you too, baby". It felt surreal to her, him being in her apartment again after she had watched him on her TV the entire weekend and for a moment, Noelle just closed her eyes to cherish his company.

The next thing she felt made the hairs on her arms stand up and chills run down her spine. Charles had cupped her cheek with his hand and ran his thumb across her skin while his other arm pulled her even closer against his body. Noelle hummed softly, her eyes still closed and for the first time since the evening of their first date, she felt completely at ease. It didn't take long before she felt Charles brush his lips against hers and a few seconds later, completely close the gap between them. His lips felt so soft and Noelle completely melted in his arms when she heard him let out a soft hum at their contact. Her hand made its way from her own thigh, along his chest, up to his neck where she spread her fingers through the hair on the back of his head, gently pulling on it as she felt his tongue roam over her bottom lip to deepen the kiss.

The two of them hadn't been intimate since the night of the party he threw for her, just after they admitted their feelings for one another and even though it had only been two weeks, it felt longer than the six weeks they had been apart for before. Noelle couldn't believe how she ever could have doubted the feelings she felt for this boy when their tongues danced around each other's and Charles pulled her on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her as close as he could get her while he moved his lips from her mouth to her jaw, down her neck. Noelle gasped a little when she felt him suck gently on her sensitive skin and the feeling of goosebumps erupted all over her body.
