F I N E L I N E ; {Paul Lahote}

{ 07 }

I suddenly got up realizing I had fallen asleep leaving paul alone. "Paul?" I said opening my eyes. I looked around realizing paul had left before I could say goodbye. I finally got up walking to the side paul sat on. I looked down noticing a note on my dresser. I smiled realizing paul had wrote his number on it.

"Hello, whose this," he asked sounding as if had just woken up. "Wow one magical night with you and you've already forgotten my name huh," I said teasing. "Oh SHOOT ARIA sorry I just woke up and my heads all over the place,"he said trying to cover himself.

I laughed,"KIDDING hmm Sorry for sleeping on you,"I said. "No worries I can handle your very loud snores,"he said chuckling to himself.

"HEY I DO NOT SNORE HOW DARE YOU,"I yelled at the microphone. "Yeah right only I know,"he said back.

I looked down at my phone: INCOMING CALL "NOAH".

"Hey Paul I'll text you later I'm getting a call from Noah,"I said.

"Yeah it's ok text you later too."

I quickly answered, "Hello."

"Hey Arii," Noah answered. "Hmm "Arii" what's wrong,"I said. "Ok so you know how I said that I'll be moving a bit more sooner than you'd thought,"he said. "Uhh yeah but you said you'd call a few days before,"I questioned back. "Wellll u-ummm SURPRISE IM OUTSIDE THE DOOR PLEASEEE OPEN UP ITS REALLY COLD,"he yelled. "Jesus Noah you said you'd call fine I'm coming."

I walked downstairs opening the window making sure he was actually outside. Knowing him he'd joke about it. Once I cracked the curtain a bit I realized I hadn't actually seen Noah in a year; only through face-time. And Jesus he's tall no wonder he picks up all those girls. He had a buff figure as he held onto his suitcase with a gym bag crossed around his body. I made my way towards the door finally opening it.

"Hey Aria,"he said smiling. "Helloooo Noah,"I said mimicking him. "Hey hey I just got here no welcome hug roomie,"he said. "Fine,"I said walking towards him. He opened his arms as I hugged him back. I couldn't help but linger into the hug as he smelled good from his cologne. I took a step back walking back inside the house.

"So where shall I be staying Volant,"he asked. "We'll Greyy your choice there's 2 rooms upstairs plus mine or we have a guest bedroom down here,"I said pointing towards the room. I made a guess as to what room he'd chose. Downstairs easy access to let girls in or out and more space. Or he can chose upstairs where he can gloat about all these girls, yet the room is smaller.

"Ill take the room upstairs,"he announced.

I gave him a fake smile leading him upstairs. "So where's your car,"he asked as we went upstairs. "Oh well my friends is suppose to bring it later,"I said back. "Why did she use it for a joy ride,"he mocked back. "We'll actually Noah HE brought me home last night I was tired,"I said back. "WoAh WOah Did Arabella Z Volant finally get laid???"

My face turned red. "NOAHH can't I just have a guy friend and thats none of your business,"I yelled back. "So thats a no,"he said. I rolled my eyes showing him to the room. "So you can pick that one or that one but Mattheo already told me he wants a room upstairs so choose wisely,"I said to him. "Alrightyyy,"he said. He finally chose a room as I walked into mine. I walked to my closet choosing and outfit so I could get some school stuff.

I heard my door slam open. "UGHH your bed is so comfy,"Noah said laying on my bed. "NO NOAh OUT NOW,"I yelled. "I'm gonna change soon,"I said back. "So?"he questioned. My face turned completely red.

"Fine fine ill leave,"he said.

I looked away looking back at my closet. Jesus I would've never thought of Noah like that thanks a lot. I walked towards the bathroom planning on taking a quick shower. Before I could open the door Noah shouted out,"Hey wanna go out later for drinks."

"Uh sure I guess ima get changed, hopefully have my car back; run a few errands and I'll come pick you up,"I said.
"Ok let me know when your out of the shower also. Theo wanted me to ask you this but, Are you gonna finish finals?"he asked.

"Yeah they said I can just take my finals and hope I pass to my senior year so that I can enjoy my "Sumer break" what about you are you doing school?"I asked.

"Yeah but I'm doing online right now can't leave little Aria alone here can't I?"he said smiling. He walked back into his room closing the door. I whispered a small thank you.

Did he really give up his freshman year in college for me? Damm it now I feel bad how did Mattheo not tell me anything. I soon came out of the shower yelling, "IM OUT." I walked into my room quickly changing. I blow dried my hair as I made my way downstairs.

"Hey you sure your running errands in that outfit,"asked Noah. I looked up at the staircase only to see Noah shirtless with only a towel wrapped around his waist.
I looked away,"Uh yeah why is something wrong,"I asked. He pointed at his chest. "Showing a little too much missy,"he snapped back. I rolled my eyes. "I'm leaving Paul's here byee,"I said closing the door. I walked outside seeing paul pull in the driveway with my car.

"Hey,"I said smiling.

PAULS POV:

"What were you doing that you didn't answer me call?"I said back.

I got out the car handing her the keys. "O-Oh sorry I was getting ready."
Fuck I sounded fucking rude. I cant help myself.

"Come on paul get inside there's no way I'm not giving you a ride back home,"she insisted.

"Fine fine,"I replied. I looked up at the window in the front noticing someone peeking through the curtains. I made eye contact with that Noah guy. My hand bawled into a fist as I started to feel hot. She turned to look at me as she asked,"Are you okay, Paul?" I looked at her eyes as I tried to calm down.

"Y-Yeah so you got company?"I asked as I got into the passenger seat. "Wh-what d- sorry about that; that's Noah he called me this morning telling me he was here,"she responded annoyed. I chuckled as her nose scrunched up. My body calmed down as I looked at her. She tucked a piece of her hair back behind her ear. I gave her my address as she started driving. "So what are your plans today?"

As she talked about her plans all bubbly I couldn't help to notice what she was wearing. She had low-waist jeans with a matching leather jacket. But the thing I noticed the most was the shirt she wore under. Showing a little to much but mann who am I to say anything to her.

Without even realizing it my body started to heat up again of the thought of that Noah guy seeing her this way. My thoughts started clearing as soon as I saw my house up ahead.

"So yeah not too much plus I'm a little nervous to go to school but I made one friend so far,"she said pulling me out of my thoughts. "Oh really and whose that,"I asked. "This guy named Edward forgot his last name he's funny looking,"she said giggling. I smiled back at her what are the chances it's him.

"Well I wish you good luck Aria also your scar is looking better,"I said as I slightly touched her cheek. "Thanks she said and before you go one last thing," she said. She reached next to me and kissed my cheek. My cheeks turned a faint red as I smiled.

                 "Thank you Paul for everything,"she smiled back.
