The Neighbors

Chapter 36

"You look cute, even when you're brushing your teeth," Noah says and kisses my cheek. He's not even wearing a shirt. This is too much for me.

I don't respond because my mouth is full of bubbles.

Luckily he walks out of the bathroom and I spit, quickly wiping the corners of my mouth with a washcloth.

I don't want him to see me with toothpaste on my face.

He returns a few seconds later with a t shirt on and a glass of orange juice in his hand.

"Is that for me?" I ask and look at the juice confuse.

"You told me that you like orange juice every morning," he says and shrugs.

"You're so perfect," I say and kiss his lips.

His breath smells minty and I know he brushed his teeth before I woke up because his pink toothbrush was on our sink.

I take a sip of the orange juice and he gives me a funny look.

"What?" I ask.

"You just drank that after brushing your teeth..?" He looks at me like I'm an alien.

"I like the taste," I tell him.

"That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard," he says and shakes his head.

"Coming from the guy who watches Sex and the City," I say.

"It's a very interesting show," he says and I chuckle.

"Uh huh, c'mon, I don't want to be late for work," I say.

After work Noah came to pick me up. He stands by the door waiting for me to wipe down the counters. Niall tosses his gloves into the garbage can and leans against the counter.

"So, Shea, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies or something, we haven't really been talking the same way we used to and I miss it," he says and I look back over to Noah. He is engulfed in his phone and doesn't seem to be paying attention to us.

"I don't think so, Niall. Noah is my boyfriend now, and we can't let what happened last time happen again," I tell him.

"What, so we can't be friends now?" He asks and has this sad look on his face.

"That's not what I mean," I say and toss the rag into the sink.

"That's what it sounded like," he says grumpily and walks off to the back.

I follow him before he gets to the back and grab his shoulder to turn him around.

"Niall, he's my boyfriend now and I'd hate to do anything to mess it up," I try to explain and he begins to walk away. He walks out past the counter and into the table area between Noah and I.

"You should have thought of that before you kissed me," he says loud enough for Noah to hear.

Noah looks up at me and he looks absolutely sick.
