And Then I Found You

Chapter Three

Third update in less than a week. 

I live in Florida and it's 43 degrees outside. I can only imagine how cold it is in New York. I do know the roads have been closed and everyone is probably snowed in. I can't even remember what snow feels like.

Tell me what you think.

Chapter Three

This blizzard sucks.

I'm standing in the living room of Noelle's lavish condo looking out the large floor to ceiling window at the white blanket that has rested itself upon this wonderful city. The blizzard has caused all of the roads to be shut down and authorities has forced everyone to stay inside. Not that I'm complaining. Jessica and I barely made it here before the storm got worse.

"So, what's on the agenda?" Jessica asks.

I turn around and take a seat on the couch.

"Let's watch a movie. I have a huge collection of DVD's, so take your pick." Noelle suggests.

"I'll make the hot coco," I say, getting up from the couch and head to the kitchen.

Noelle's condo looked like it was something out of a magazine. Everything was top of the line. The furniture was black and white with splashes of color here and there. The kitchen was nothing but clean lines everywhere. Sleek grey cabinets with white marble countertops, it was my dream kitchen.

I opened almost every cabinet looking for the mugs, which didn't take long to find. I grabbed the packets of the hot chocolate mix off the counter, pouring the contents of each packet into one mug. Finding the pots, I heat up the milk, stirring occasionally so it won't burn. I can only drink hot chocolate with milk. The milk just makes it so creamy and it taste 100 times better than with water, but that's just my opinion. When the milk is hot, I evenly distribute the milk in the mugs and head back into the living room.

"What are we watching?" I ask, handing them their mugs.

"A Cinderella Story," Jessica said.

I nod and take my seat on the couch.

I tried my hardest to focus on the movie, but I couldn't. My thoughts just kept drifting to Nate. His face, his eyes, how he looks when he doesn't shave, his voice. Ugh! Why is this happening? Why can't I just go up to him and tell him how I feel? Why can't I just be me around him?

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the doorbell ring. Noelle got up from her spot with a confused look on her face before going to answer it.

I looked at the TV screen only to realize they were half way through the movie. Was I seriously thinking about Nate for that long?

"What the hell are you guys doing here?" We hear Noelle yell at, who I'm assuming is at the door, the guys.

I look at Jessica and she just laughs and pauses the movie. A furious Noelle walks in with Nick, Brad, and Nate following close behind her.

"What are you guys doing here?" I ask.

Nate looks at me with those eyes and smirks. "I said we were going to crash."

"If my mom finds out..." Noelle was fuming, pacing back and forth. She looked like she wanted to punch someone.

"Chill out Noelle," Nick said.

"No, Nick, I will not 'chill out'." she yelled.

"How did you guys get here? Aren't the roads closed?" I ask.
