Commitment Issues

 I sat on the grass in my backyard and watched as Noah tired hard to make this experience memorable. He dressed semi-formal with a suit jacket but with jeans and sneakers. He pulled out the cap in the sparkling juice, which made a 'pop'.

It was warm and nice outside today. The cool wind was much appreciated as the sun grew in intensity. I tilted my head back as I enjoyed the warmth.

"Good afternoon," came his voice from across the fence. I turned my head towards my neighbour's backyard and tried to calm my racing heart. My once empty stomach immediately filled with butterflies and my lust appeared. He had a crooked smile on his lips as if he had every right to my thoughts, body, and mind.

"If I knew you were going to come out here I wouldn't have suggested the backyard." Noah grumbled barely audible, but I knew Christian could hear it.

"Well this is my property," he winked, sending a double meaning. I scold at him as he referenced me to being owned by him. "I didn't think I needed permission to visit it." his eyes remained on my face as he leaned against the dividing fence, waiting for me to come to him. His elbows rested on the top while a black gift bag hung from his fingers.

He was calling me with his eyes, trying to say something to me but I wouldn't let it in. I didn't want to. One reason was because I wasn't sure what I would do once I got over there and the other because Noah looked completely defeated and I didn't want to ruin his ego. Christian had enough ego to fill a football stadium but Noah barely had any.

"Either you come here, or I will come there," he threatened coyly.

"Just go." Noah grumbled.

I got up much too fast as I tried to steady myself. I walked slowly, making it seem as if I was uninterested, but really I was getting excited.

"Hi," he breathed once I was close enough to be the only one to hear him. The cocky smirk was gone and his eyes melted into mine, looking innocence and sweet. He stared at my face as if it was the only thing he needed to have in front of him at the moment.

"Hi," I repeated quietly, unable to remain unmoved by his affection towards me.

He smiled softly, which touched his eyes making it twinkle. Without removing eye contact, he pulled the contents from the bag out and I panicked. It was a thong that looked exactly like the one he ripped off last night in his room. I took it from his hands and shoved it into the bag once again. I was embarrassed.

"You asked me to replace it," he said innocently with his smirk returning.

"Yes, but not bring it to me here, right now." I fumed quietly.

"Are you mad at me?" he mumbled, resting his palm on my cheek and lightly caressing it.

I removed his hand from my face. "Damn right." I turned away from him to return to the blanket with the package in my hand. I heard a light whimper behind me, like the one I heard after our fight about Warren. It touched something deep inside me but I brushed it off, sticking to my decision.

After a period of time, Christian returned inside. I felt horrible about it because I'm sure he meant it to be cute and funny but I didn't like the thought of everyone seeing my underwear. He was the only one that could say that and I wanted to keep it that way.

"It was an eventful evening." Noah laughed as he walked me to my front door.

"It was," I nodded. "I'll see you at school." I waved off.

"Yeah, see you." He entered into his car and I closed the door.

I took a nice cool shower to clean off the dirt and sweat on my skin. I braided my hair back into one big braid and wrapped it with a scarf. After I grabbed on a large shirt and underwear, I crawled into bed.
