Captivate me

Going to the movies

I'm impatiently ringing the doorbell a second time at the Gallaghers House. Don said he'd be outside 20 odd minutes ago... we're going to miss the movie if he isn't coming now. I'm tapping my shoe on the floor groaning, I'm going to kill him. I wanted to watch that movie for ages and he PROMISED to go with me tonight.

I briefly thought about kicking in the door when it snaps open. Noel stands before me with a can of beer in his hand, as he recognised me he hides it behind his back. I told him once, I think it's quite unattractive when men are drinking beer right out of the can rather than pouring it in a glass. This statement must have had an impact on him.

"Emily, what are you doing here on a Thursday?", he asks curiously as he lets me in.

I sigh and walk straight to the couch to let me fall on it, that's what I'm always doing when I'm bringing Don home from a nights out. It's the most comfortable peace of furniture I've ever lead my head on. Noel sits down at my feet and I look at him, he's got the most icy blue eyes I've ever seen. They always captivate me.

Suddenly I'm overwhelmed with a feeling i can't quite describe but it makes me shiver. Something also seems to go through Noels mind because he tilts his head slightly and lets his eyes drift away out of the window.

"Your exemplary son keeps me waiting, he promised to go to the movies with me tonight", I stated with a frown.

He laughs and leans forward to put the can on the table before turning back to me.

"You sure we're talking about the same guy? Never thought he likes the movies or are there other pretty girls involved?" He looks at me intensely and I'm looking right back at him.

Other pretty girls? Is he saying I'm pretty? Before I can think about it anymore, we hear a rumble from upstairs and Don rushes down the stairs. I'm breaking eye contact with Noel to look at Don who's now standing at the entrance. He scratches his head nervously.

"I'm honestly really sorry. I was on the phone with Anais, can we still make it on time? I'm inviting you to dinner afterwards, bills on me, well on dad." He grins at his father who just rolls is his eyes and leans back onto the couch.

"Then lets go before it's to late for that as well", I'm pretty annoyed now.

I stand up and smooth my clothes out before I go to the front door and open it.
Dons already rushing outside, as he walks by he brushes me lightly, smiles, stretches out his hand and pulls me along. I feel the cool night air on my skin and take a deep breath in, it smells like summer rain and somehow sweet.

I have to smile, summer starts now. As I'm turning back to their house, Noel's standing in the entrance. He smirks at me, I still and look at him. A gust of wind hits me and my hair whirls up. I brush it away and when I look 👀 back at Noel, he's got an unreadable serious expression on his face. I wave goodbye to him and get in the car with a strange feeling. What was all that?
