Tragedy of lies

chapter -8 (noah's pov)

POV- NOAH.

My doorbell rings, a thrill but sweet sound. I open the door to find someone in white t shirt, blue jeans in a slim stature, dark  hair splattered around in waves, hazel eyes staring at mine.
Jessica.
I give her a smile.
‘I’m sorry’ she sighs as she enters the house, in the living room and dropping herself on the couch.
‘ for what?’
She looks up at the ceiling, rubbing her eyebrows, her throat bobbing,’you’re doing all the work and I’m just like ordering around. So, sorry for that’
I walk towards where she sat, handing her a glass of water,’ you’re doing enough’ I whisper.
She smiles, then we talk long before she finally falls asleep.
                                                        ***

She looks lovely while she sleeps,  god knows how lucky her boyfriend might be.
I had considered that idea once, to date her. i was too silly , a boy filled with lust. But I knew it wouldn’t work, not that she or I am not good enough but the fact that we’d ruin every part of friendship we have between, so I had just thrown that idea away.
And I’d just needed a true friend, which I got.
She told me all about her plan for tomorrow,  she’d meet drake in the morning to know more about mia. This guy already seems strange to me. He just appears randomly, out of nowhere.
If it hadn’t been for her telling me he has no bad intentions, I would have pulled the detective game on him.
Anyways, then she’ll make a list of mia’s past activities, then prepare for her father’s arrival and stress over.  She’d told me to knock her over if her she went lazy tomorrow.
‘ we’ll see ‘ I whisper to her. she had dozed off on the couch, too exhausted to travel all the way to my bed.
I have no plans of making it look like I’ve been sleeping with a guy she’d laughed off, saying my smell is too strong, not bad.
A loud snort reaches my ear, not so lovely anymore.
I rub my eyes, sideglancing at the alarm clock on the table I’d set for her, 12: 45 am. Emma probably might be hungry at this time, I’d known when I’d stayed at her home for three days. At the exact time, she’d get off bed as if she’s sleepwalking and open the fridge to find some snacks.
I think I was a werewolf in my past life.   She’d said as she snacked over the leftover pizza.
How do you not get fat?  I ‘d asked
Then she’d swished off her hips and winked at me,  dancing baby.
I let out a quiet laugh, careful to not wake jess up. I would have let emma get into this case with us if it wasn’t for jess who warned me to keep her the fuck away.
And emma had agreed once she’d known it was jess, she knows how to handle stuff. When you’ll need me , I know she’ll not hesitate to ask for help, she’d said.
They both have the deepest bond. I don’t know but emma and jess both were broken at the time of highschool. Emma never really told us what’d made her sad, empty and hollow during highschool. It was too hard for her to explain. but she’d agreed that jess brought a ray of sunshine in her life. And so had emma in jess’s life.
And so have these both girls made amazing memories with me. the boys have, aswell. Jordan, with his witty humour and blue eyes, attracting all the gals by his tall stature. But this one girl had said to him, in all serious way,  Jordan, you’re all sexy and hot.those blonde hair and blue eyes are mesmerising. I would have dated you if it weren’t for the mole above your eyebrow ‘  we’d all bursted out laughing while Jordan had been insecure of that mole for a whole week.
Hakim, that nerd. Always busy buying new keychains. His eye had the deepest green I ever saw, so dark it almost looked black, his angular eyes giving away the look. And rahas, the flirtatious boy with dusky skin, earrings in his ears, his sharp eyes always fixed on masud, the guy with a hypnotizing dark skin with such muscular arms and a smile that could melt anybody, especially rahas.
I miss the boys, especially now. When we could all be having fun, now they’re all busy in something.
I’d call them all to meet after this case’s over .
