Roommates

#21

"What are you doing today?" Noah asks me as we sit at the kitchen table eating breakfast. "Well today I'm going to visit my parents as it's Sunday" I get dressed into jeans and a shirt. Pairing it with some converse I head to my parents house and knock on the door. "Hi sweetie!" My mum opens the door and gives me a friendly hug. She smiles at me but she looks tired ,upset like something's bothering her , I smile back at her I loved being home. After a hour of chatting ,laughing and eating cake my parents both looked at each other with serious expressions on their face. "So daughter ,there's something you need to know" my mum cleared her throat and looked at her lap where her hand was holding onto my fathers. My dad's eyes begin to fill with tears. "Recently your mum hasn't been feeling so well ,she's been forgetting things easily and has been a lot more tired than normal. So after a trip to the doctors we found out she has a brain tumour..." I swallow hard "you mean like brain cancer?" My mum nods as tears fall down her face. "She's had it for a few weeks now ,we just didn't know" my dad whispers .As soon as I get back to the college I head to my bed and cry all my makeup off. After a minute there's 3 quiet taps on my door. "Are you okay?" I hear Noah ask me from the other side of the door. I don't answer ,I shove my face back into my pillow ,which has now got makeup all over it. I feel a hand on my shoulder. Looking behind me I notice Noah standing there with a concerned look on his face. "Go away" I say. He laughs tho you can tell it's forced. "We'll that putting it bluntly" "huh?" I ask. "I'm not going away ,he whispers" he sits down next to me. I turn my head to continue crying into my pillow but he gently lifts my chin towards him. "What's wrong?" I wipe my tear stained cheeks. "My -my mum has brain cancer" my eyes fill with tears again at the thought. He gasps. "I'm so so sorry Naomi is it cure able?" He pulls a strand of hair from the front of my face ,tucking it behind my ear. "I-I" he looks deep into my eyes ,like before but this time with a more concerned look. "We don't know yet..." He nods his head slightly after bringing his face closer to mine. His forehead is flat again mine ,he tilts his head downwards and I tilt mine up so our lips are 1 inch away from each other. I realise he's tugging on that lip ring again. DUH DUH DUH ,DUH DUH DUH DOO DOO DOO D DOO DO DOO. We instantly pull away at the shock of the sudden noise I look towards my side table and see my phone vibrating. "For gods sake!" I pick up my phone ,without looking at the caller ID "Abbie ,I'll call you back later!" I snap and with that I end the call. She's probably going to hate me for a while now because I snapped at her. However in my defence she did ruin a moment where me and my roommate were about to kiss! "Soooo?" I lay back on the bed wiping the rest of the tears away. He chuckles. "Eastenders ringtone huh?" I roll my eyes. I only have that ringtone with Abbie ,so I know it's her calling" he lays down next to me. "Can I? Oh fuck I'm just gonna do it" he leans in to kiss me again. Tho this time our lips actually touch. The kiss was filled with passion ,determination as he gently bites my lower lip asking for entrance...
