The Girl With X-Ray Eyes

Chapter 8

I came around to Noel's hotel for a few days for the next couple weeks. Although he had a suite, it was still much smaller than his house was. It did have the most amazing view though. He was on the top floor right in central London. You could practically see the whole city from up there. I knew it always took him so long to get to his studio from the country side so I guess ed that why he chose to come here. When I visited his room, I liked to stand outside on the balcony with the wind in my hair and watch all the movement below. The city bustling with so much diversity, I would guess in my head what they were doing and where they were going. I tried to get Noel to come and stand outside with me but he never did. Every time I asked he said that it was too noisy, but I didn't really believe him. I eventually figured out why he stayed inside as I caught him staring at me. I don't think he knew I did but I kind of liked knowing he was watching me. One day I came in from the balcony after I finished work to talk with Noel.

"This place is really nice and looks amazing but it most cost you a fortune to stay here."

"Too fucking right it does. I'm spending more money on this a week then I make off Wonderwall in a week." Noel said.

"You still haven't found anywhere to live yet?" I said sitting down next to Noel.

"I just cant be arsed. Nothing feels right since I left the house." Noel sighed, looking at the floor.

"You don't have anyone you could maybe stay with for a bit?"

"No, everyone I know has got a family. I don't want to disturb them with my mess."

I felt so bad for Noel, I just wanted him to feel at home again. I sat for a minute and thought about what Noel could do. I couldn't come up with anything, then suddenly a thought appeared in my head. Since I had been earning a lot more money from working with Noel, I was able to afford a bigger flat. I had a spare room that wasn't being used. I had thought about advertising for a roommate but hadn't had the time to do it. It probably sounded like a crazy idea to anyone else but it made perfect sense to me. I was already spending most of my time wherever Noel was at. I practically knew his schedule. I decided to just go for it and ask him.

"Noel? How about you move in with me?"

Noel swiftly turned his head to look at me. His eyes glanced at me big and brightly, his mouth slightly open, his eyebrows pinched and thick as ever.

"What?" was all Noel could gasp out.

I tried to assure him it wouldn't be weird, "I mean I have a spare room. And I think it would make things easier, wouldn't have to travel anywhere to work with you. Plus I wouldn't charge rent nearly as much as these fuckers." I said elbowing him slightly.

Noel leaned back on the bed and sat in silence for a few minutes thinking it over.

"Are you sure you're ok with it? I don't want boring ol me coming in and ruining your space."
Noel said sitting back up.

"Yes I'm sure." I immediately responded. " I don't think you are boring at all. It would be nice to have a bit of company at night."

"Then alright, I'll do it." Noel smiled at me.

I probably got a little too excited as I let out a little squeal and hugged Noel. He hesitated for a few seconds but then put his arms around me too. This time was even better, he felt so warm and inviting. I didn't want it to end. As he pulled away, he seemed much more comfortable.

I found myself growing more attached to Noel knowing we were going to be living together. The last few days at the hotel he always sat next to me when I was working, either on the sofa or on the bed. Noel had been doing this before but now it was different like he was paying more attention to me. Sometimes he would lean on me and was cuddling up to me. I thought it was very cute and
hadn't seen him be this sentimental before.

Despite us being together so often, one thing Noel never did was play his guitar around me. I couldn't tell why it was that way. At his house he always went to a different room. I figured it was so he could focus, but when I was at the hotel, he would wait till I left for him to go play. Noel told me that he used to play songs for Sara but she was never interested, I guess he thought I would act the same. It was true that I had never heard his music until I started working for him but its not that I didn't want to know of it. I just didn't want to disturb him or talk about it with him cause I'm sure everyone else asks him about it. It is a part of my job promoting him and his music, so I don't know why he felt that way. I hoped when he moved in maybe things will be different.
