STRAWBERRIES × CIGERETTES

Chapter 6 | Emily

Two hours had passed and it would have taken more if Noah wouldn't have helped. I mean how come this guy is so strong, he picked the boxes up like it was paper.

I was currently arranging and decorating my room and Noah got some snacks from his house so we were busy munching as well, listening to songs. I'm glad we have the same taste in music.

To be honest, I was really thinking that when I'd meet Noah for the first time, it would be an awkward moment but right now, Im feeling comfortable as if I'm with Nina or Amelia . Like I'm with a family.

"Keep this curtain open" he said opening them.

"Why?" I asked, munching chips and hanging some Polaroid picture on top of my desk.

"So that I can peep inside your room." I turned my neck to see him and that boy was already looking at me with a mischievous smile and wiggly eyebrows.

"No thanks, I never knew you were a creepo staring into other's room." I scoffed rolling ,y eyes and continuing my work.

He laughed. He literally just laughed and I felt that weird feeling again. What the fuck is happening to me! Am I dying ?

I ignored it once again and just did my work. "Well, we should get to know each other better what do you think?" He asked to which I simply hummed.

"Alright umm let's keep it for tomorrow then, I'll come pick you at 2" he said checking his phone.

"Busy?"

"Yup I have a dog to take to the vet and a little boy to pick up from school."

"Wait you have a dog and a small brother?" I exclaimed.

"Yes ma'am" he said.

"Aweee"He laughed .

"You wont awe when you actually spend time with them. Actually the dog is better" he said and we both laughed.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked.

"Okay" he said and left my room.

I continued my work with a frown, I wish he stayed longer. As soon as that thought passed, he entered my room again with a speed.

"God ! You scared me " I said keeping a hand on my chest and calming my freaking nerves down.

He just looked at me with a serious look. What ?

"What ?" He didn't say anything but just came towards me taking long strides and hugged me.

I froze, my eyes widened, my heart was well running for it's life. I could feel the vibrations in my throat.

His arms were wrapped around my neck and his face was in my hair.

"Thanks for coming back mily, I really missed you " he whispered.

Were we really enemies when we were small ? How come I hated him ?

A small smile appeared on my lips as I patted his back slowly.

After the hug, we said byes and he finally left. I was sticking my calander next to the window now when I saw him in his room.

He was taking his shirt of but stopped halfway when he saw me looking at him.

More like drooling. Ahem.

I was just looking. He gave his annoying smirk which again reminded me that why I hated him. I rolled my eyes and just closed my curtains.

I went downstairs after all the hardwork, it was only 5 right now so I sat on the barstool and made a list of all the things I needed. Just as I was about to stand up, I saw a little chit on the counter. I picked it up with furrowed brows.
