Heart on Fire | Noah Sebastian

Chapter 14

*Belles Pov*

Noah and I returned back to my place and he walked me to the door. I turned to face him "Thank you for everything Noah, I had a wonderful time" I placed a thankful kiss upon his lips. He kissed me back but pulled away to not let things get too heated.

"I'm glad you had a wonderful night. You deserve it" he said back and reciprocated a small kiss back. "You're my girlfriend and you're so pretty" he mused playfully and snuggled me in for a kiss, causing my heart rate to spike once more. I don't know how I haven't had a heart attack considering how overwhelming today was (in a good way though).

I unlocked the front door and walked inside and Noah followed suit. I delicately placed my shoes on the shoe rack because I hate when things are out of place and Noah did so with his shoes. I invited Noah into the kitchen for a glass of water mentioning that I felt a little tipsy from the expensive champagne we drank all night. In sipping my glass of water I took a moment to really reflect on the day, well days, that just was. I have never experienced anything like this, or been treated so kindly in such a romantic way before. I was and still am so nervous about the whole situation, but ultimately thankful. Noah chose to take a can of coke out and saw how abysmal my fridge is... Filled with alcohol, expired milk, and leftover take away pizza that I'm pretty sure is 3 days old. Suppose it looked drastically different to how neat and tidy I keep the rest of my house, it was actually embarrassing to let him see that. However, I do keep the fridge at work stocked up.

We finished our drinks and I decided it was time to take off my gown and get ready to wind the night down. I was so worried that this dress would be too much but when Noah knocked on my door wearing that all black suit I almost melted. He was the most handsome and attractive person I have ever been blessed to meet and I knew my gown wasn't overdoing it. I lamented on how much fun I had today but I was exhausted from it all and beginning to feel a little sore from the hotel job. The bruising on my lower spine began to hurt the most, mostly around my scar but I'll be fighting soreness in my lower back for my whole life and shrugged off the pain. Noah took me by my shoulders and pulled me in for a hug. He caressed my back lightly but really seemed to soaked up the embrace, squeezing me tighter for a small moment. I buried my head into his shoulder when he did so, sending butterflies through my system. How did I become so lucky? I've never known kindness like this.

After a short while of standing quietly in my kitchen, I broke the embrace and guided Noah up to my bedroom, asking him to unzip my dress but didn't attempt to hide how my request could be taken suggestively, but that could also be the champagne talking. I told him I had to use a wire coat hanger to zip it up in the first place. My room was dark this time but I turned on a tall floor lamp that lit the space nicely. I walked over to my closest that had a mirror and instructed Noah to unzip my dress carefully to which he obliged. I watched him approach me softly in the mirror and I did everything in my power to hide the goosebumps he gave me as he bit the corner of his bottom lip. He slowly unzipped my dress and held it so that it didn't drop and expose my breasts and back scar. He left me to change in private which was super sweet but I wouldn't have minded if he stayed...

I changed rapidly and emerged from my bedroom wearing a tank top and short pajama shorts with my hair brushed out and my makeup taken off. I opened my door to find Noah looking at my hallway decorated with band vinyl and memorabilia. He stood tall with hands in his pockets closely, looking incredibly fucking hot right now, inspecting my decorations of punk rock and heavy metal memorabilia. Most of them are Australian bands because I truly believe Aussie heavy metal is superior, but plenty of other international bands are up there too.

A/N COME AT ME, I DARE YOU.

"I didn't know until now that my goal is to have my band up on this wall until now" he gestures to it with a genuine smile.
