Undying Summer

Rory

"As my eyes fluttered open I was only vaguely aware of the major pounding going on inside my head. This hangover was going to suck. However what did have my attention was the fact that I was laying in a unfamiliar bed, with arms wrapped around me, and I was wearing someone else's shirt. My eyes flickered down to the colorful braided bracelet on the person's wrist and I recognized it from somewhere but I couldn't quite remember. Panic filled my eyes and I shot up in bed now remembering where I've seen that bracelet. It was Noah's. Shit. What the hell happened last night! I turned to look at him and he was rolling onto his back yawning and being at all surprised by this situation.

" Good morning," he says while flashing me a smile that shows off his dimples. God why are his dimples so cute. I stare at him while trying to think about what I possibly could have done last night that made me wake up in Noah Smith's bed. He finally reads the worried expression on my face and scoots up in his bed leaning his head against the wall, causing his abs to flex.

"Aw jeez, Don't stress Aurora nothing happened last night, well atleast nothing happened between us I don't know about you and Lautner though," the way he had said the first part immediately let me relax but then he brought up Jason and I was worried all over again. okay, what the actual hell happened last night. I started piecing things together in my mind and tried to remember everything that had happened last night. Noah sat there perfectly still knowing that I was trying to figure it out myself.

"OMG," all of a sudden everything hit me. The shots, dancing, Jason, and then I remembered how I ended up here. The texts. The horrible, horrible texts I had sent when I was drunk out of my mind.

"OMG," I gasped again, "Noah I'm seriously so sorry I don't know what happened to me last night, I just had too much to drink, I seriously did not mean to text you." I said.

"It's seriously okay, I know you would never mean the things you said to me," he said, like he was almost upset with admitting that. Before I could think about what his tone meant he quickly added on,

"So how bout some eggs? Soak up all that alcohol in your system." My stomach growled just then and i was going to agree when I remembered that I was meeting Lila at 11 for coffee. I looked at the clock, 10:03 am, did I have time for eggs with Noah? I still had to go home, shower and get ready, so no I didn't have time. But why did part of me want to cancel on Lila and stay. Jeez I need to get a hold of myself what the hell was I doing thinking about Noah like this.

"Sorry Noah I can't I've got to meet with Ly soon for coffee," I said with actually a hint of disappointment in my tone.

"It's okay I understand, here," he said handing me a pair of grey sweatpants. "You might not want to wear that dress home."

"Thanks Noah, seriously I mean it," and with that I was out the door and on the way home, at least it's just down the street.
