Chapter. 24

Ayla

"I was trying to help, Ayls. I'm sorry, baby." Mom placed a hand on my shoulder.

I shrugged her off and rolled my eyes.

"You fucked everything up!"

"Ayla-"

"Just Go, mom. Go to bed!"

"Are you sure you have everything?" Noah asked me. I nodded zipping up the small red suitcase he had loaned to me.

"Yeah. Pyjamas, formal and casual." I nodded.

I heard a knock on Noah's bedroom door, that's when we both looked over.

"We gotta be up early guys, so get to bed." Matteo sighed.

"If we don't wake up can you-" Noah asked.

"Yeah, goodnight."

"Goodnight dad."

"Goodnight." I mumbled.

I kept my eyes on my suitcase before the door lightly shut. I watched Noah move my case to the floor and roll it to his.

"Ever been away?" He asked, stepping into the bathroom in his room.

"Only once."

"Where?"

"I went to Paris with Decathlon last December." I told him, shimmying myself under the fleece blanket.

"My dad was in Paris last December, you see him?" He joked, letting out a small chuckle.

I blood went cold as I turned away from the bathroom door and faced the window.

"That would be funny, wouldn't it?" I played dumb.

I felt the bed dip behind me as his arms encircled my body. Pulling my back to his chest. He brushed my hair away from my neck and placed a soft a kiss on my neck.

Sucking down ever so slightly on the tender skin.

"Noah." I lowly moaned.

"I like seeing you safe.. and happy." He whispered.

I caught my lip between my teeth, feeling the guilt fill up my throat.

I have feelings for Noah.

I don't have feelings for Matteo.

I reminded myself.

"Let's get to bed." He whispered,

-

I woke up few hours early so I would have enough time to visit mom for a bit before I went away.

The walk was nice, streets were empty as the sun had just rose. My sneakers had gotten too small for me ages ago hence the reason of my sore ankles. I just-I don't love change. And my mom bought me these. I like walking around in them.
