Does he get it?

His face relaxes a little and his eyes loose their derogatory quality, yet his expression is still fierce. He has stopped digging his nails into the sink and now just leans against it with outstretched arms.

"And as for Patrick... I'm not into him at all, yeah he's really super nice and he seems to like me, but he's not really my type. I'm more into mature, older men." I say shyly. Did he finally get it now?

His eyes widen and his mouth opens slightly. He looks like he doesn't know what to say for once. Otherwise he's always ready to crack a joke.

"That's good to know, but I really don't care about anything your saying, at all", is the only thing I get as an answer, before he pushes himself off, strolls to the fridge and pulls out a beer. Without looking at me again, he goes back into the living room.

Wow...

The next few weeks are pretty quiet. I regularly pick up Don to go partying, we're both on semester break. I haven't spoken to Noel since the day I slept at theirs.

After the football game Noel got pretty drunk and I called myself a taxi to get away from the awkward situation. I mean, he hasn't even done anything, but I had to keep my distance to protect my feelings.
I don't know what got into him, he just sat in the living room with a grim expression. That's what he usually looks like at Events when it's all taking too long and he absolutely doesn't want to be interviewed anymore.

He kept talking nonsense until he finally got up and disappeared into his room. After that, all you could hear was faint guitar music from upstairs.
I said my goodbyes to Patrick and Don and told them we should do this again sometime, they both agreed.
