He's Trouble

✿Chapter Eight✿

✱✱✱

[Noah's P.O.V.]

The next morning I got up at nine, so I could go see what my dad wanted. Leo was already up so he offered to take me home, which I accepted gratefully.

When I got home I went inside and my dad was sitting at the counter. He looked... happy. My shoulders instantly sagged in relief.

"What's up? You had me worried. There's nothing to worry about, right?" I question him quickly, walking towards him. His quickly turns his head to face me, startled.

"Oh. I didn't even hear you come in." He says with a chuckle.

"Okay..." I say slowly. "What did you wanna talk about?"

He scratches the back of his neck nervously. "Son, you know I loved your mother, right?"

My heart rate accelerates. I hate talking about my mom.

"Yeah." I answer quietly.

"Well I don't anymore and I really like this other lady... I was thinking about asking her on a date. What do you think?"

What?

"Daddy, that's great! You really need to get back in the game!" I say excitedly.

His eyes widen. "You don't think it's too soon?"

"No way," I say shaking my head furiously. "You should definitely go for it!"

"Okay. I think I'm going to call her right now." He says, standing up and walking his room.

Well okay then. This is exciting.

I take a seat at the counter and pull my phone out from my pocket. I have two text messages.

From Clark: Noah? Did you fall asleep?

From Clark: Well... If you're not texting back because you fell asleep text when you get up please. xx

From Clark: Good morning. :)

A good morning text? He must be trying to kill me. I type in a reply.

To Clark: Good morning. :D Yes, I fell asleep last night. Sorry.

After I press send I get up and go to my room to take a shower.

After my shower I sit on my bed with just my towel wrapped around my waist and read the newest text from Clark.

From Clark: Can I come over to your house?

My eyes widen in surprise. Why does Clark want to come to my house? I text him back that he can and send him my address.

I hop off my bed quickly to get ready. Ugh. I should probably pick up my room a little bit too. Dirty clothes and probably some clean clothes are scattered around my floor.

I walk up to my dresser and pull out a pair of black silk panties and put them on. I hang my towel around my neck and search my closet for something cute to wear.

After a minute of looking I choose a white shirt with little black cats printed all over it and a short maroon skirt from my dresser. I leave my feet bare.

I walk into the living room and sit down next to my dad on the couch.

"What did she say?" I ask and he turns to me with a big grin.

"She said yes. We are going out later tonight." He answers happily.

"That's great," I say almost as happily as him. "Oh, Clark is coming over. Is that okay?"

He narrows his eyes at me. "So I get to meet the boy you've been crushing on? That's great."

I sigh. "Please, please, please don't embarrass me. And please don't scare him away!" I beg.

My dad chuckles. "Okay, Noah. I'll be on my best behavior."

As soon as my dad gets that out the doorbell rings. I shoot up and run to answer the door before he gets the idea to.

I pull open the door and Clark is standing there with one hand behind his back. He looks really good. He's wearing a gray shirt with a short sleeve gray and blue flannel button up.

"Hi, Clark." I say sweetly and open the door wider for him to come in.

"Hey, Noah. I, uh, brought you something." He says nervously and brings the hand behind his back out. He's holding a small bouquet of white daisies.

"T-those are for me?" I ask shyly, blushing. He nods and hands them to me.

"Hmm. Nice choice, boy." My dad suddenly booms from behind me and I take in a deep breath. Clark's head whips to the side quickly and his eyes widen.

"H-hi, Mr. McKinley." Clark stutters and his cheeks tint pink.

Oh. My. Goodness. I think I just died. I just died and went to heaven.

"Well don't just stand there, come inside. I'll show him to be living room while you put those in a vase, Noah." My dad states and moves aside so Clark can come in.

Clark shoots me a look, one that I can only describe as desperate. I giggle and make my way to the kitchen to find a vase. After I find one and fill it with water I stick the daisies in it. They are so cute.

I walk back into the living room and my dad has a smug look on his face. Clark is frowning slightly.

"Uh, Clark, is there any particular reason you came over today?" I ask, feeling hopeful. I mean, he did bring me flowers.

He smiles brightly at me. "Yes, I came to ask you if you would go on a date with me." He says and bites his lip. If I didn't know any better, I would say he was nervous.

"I would love to." I answer with a grin, but inside my head I'm squealing and jumping up and down like a lunatic.

Clark breaths out deeply. "That's great. I actually have something planned for later. Is it alright if I come back here around eight o'clock?" He asks and I glance at my dad, he gives me a small nod in response.

"That's fine. Anything in particular I should wear?" I inquire.

"What you're wearing is fine. You look really good in a skirt." He says with a smirk.

"Okay, that's enough. You can go now." My dad states and stands up from the couch.

My dad starts walking to the front door and me and Clark follow. When we get to the door my dad opens it and motions for Clark to leave. I start to roll my eyes, but I stop out of shock when I feel Clark press a light kiss to my cheek.

"I'll see you later, Noah." Clark says with a smile.

Once he's gone my dad shuts the door and turns to me with a small smile.

"I think I like him." He states calmly.

I head back to my room so that I can fangirl over my impending date. When I'm in my room I shut the door and jump up and down, squealing.

It's good to let your emotions out, you know.
