A Little Bit Of Everything (EARLIER CALLED YOUNG, WILD AND FREE)

31. Everything on my mind.

From "The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats:

"The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

NOAH'S POV.

I grinned as I drove home. During the whole car ride, the only thing in my mind was the kiss, and well, Gab.

She was perfect. She always knew what to say, and she knew when not to say things too. She had all the answers, and never failed to make me smile. After everything she did, she left an imprint of herself, like a mark. A reminder that she was there, Always.

I was sure of my feelings for her now. I liked her. A lot. The kiss made it all clear, at least for me.

That was the reason I kissed her that night too. The night she was kidnapped.

I have no idea how I had that amount of confidence in front of her.

Normally, I have to struggle to be sane around her.

I have to watch every word I'm saying in front of her, because, the instant I see her, I get distracted.

But, at the same time, I can behave like myself around her.

She doesn't make me nervous, or make me want to act like someone else, a person I'm not.

I so glad that I dropped Sprite on her that day.

I was lazing around in bed, unable to sleep, when my phone buzzed.
I looked to see who it was, and a pair of blue eyes greeted me. I smiled, and looked at the picture for a few seconds.

Gab was sticking her tongue out at the camera, and I was kissing her cheek.

I suddenly realized that I had to answer the phone.

'Hey,' I said.
'What took you so long?' she asked me.

I smiled to myself.

'Sorry doll, tell me what's up,' I said, settling down on my bed.

'I'm meeting Sarah, Tiana and the guys for lunch today, I was hoping you could come,' she asked me. I should see her blushing.

'Sure, I'll be there. What time is it,' I asked her.

'Pick me up at 12?' she asked me.
'It's a date', I said, and hung up.

I grinned, and lay back down on my bed, sighing. This girl was driving me insane. My feelings for her were increasing fast, and I wasn't able to catch up with them.

But, I wanted ot to be that way. I wanted to like her. I wanted to think about her all day, and I wanted her, and only her to occupy my mind.

I got up to change, and looked at the time. It was 11:30, which meant I had half an hour to get ready.

I threw on a pair of jeans, a black shirt and a pair of white converse. I ran a hand through my hair, and was ready to go.
