Breaking Desires

Chapter Five

Parker Auclaire

When I thought about “the plan” I was madder at myself than anyone. I knew that I wanted that 200 bucks but at the time I didn’t think of what I would be losing. Since reconnecting with Noelle, I’m mad that I did it. Noelle was perfect in so many ways. I smiled when I thought of her. Then my palms started perspiring.

Why was I nervous about this date with Noelle? I closed my eyes and took deep breaths. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Aubrey’s annoying voice. "When are you coming back," She whined. I rolled my eyes. I looked over to her and she was lying across my bed with a gossip magazine. I walked over to her. “I wanna know everything that leech said to you.” Aubrey gritted her teeth. Damn Girl, I don’t know! I’ll be home when I’m home. Geez!

I gave her a fake smile. “Babe, don’t worry. I’m going to be thinking about you the whole time.” I choked back the vomit that was coming back and smiled again.

She whined. I looked at her like an idiot. Her phone rang. She danced to her ringer for the first few seconds and then she answered. There were so many things I could say to her. Like why are you an idiot? But I walked into the bathroom and waited until she was done talking instead. I started to put gel in my hair and fix it. I started moving my head at different angles to make sure that it was perfect.

Oh yea, I could totally be a model.

I turned around to go back into my room and Aubrey was there. She shocked me. She was pouting. I remember when I thought that it was cute. But now when I see her pout to get what she wants, she kind of looks like a basset hound.

“So that was my mom, I gotta go. But call me later.” She hugged me and then crashed her lips onto mine forcing her tongue through my lips. I started choking on her saliva. She licked all around my whole mouth. She pulled away and smiled. “Tootles, Babe!” She walked out of my room.

I went back into the bathroom to wipe off all of her saliva and when I looked at myself, I had a saliva beard, that was going down my chin. I turned the sink on and rinsed it off. It was really warm too. I shook in disgust when I walked back into my room.

Once Aubrey left my house, I could finally breathe through my mouth. A smile crept upon my lips when I started thinking about Noey. I decided to text her. 

Hey Noey (: I'll be there soon. Can't wait! - Parker

You know those people that no matter what they do, they can always make you smile, or happy? Noey, was one of those people. I was glad that I could show my true feelings for Noey now. I didn't have to act like a jerk and a douche. I could be whoever I wanted.

When it was time for me to leave, I sprayed my cologne and grabbed my wallet and keys. As much as I was happy that Noelle and I were going out, I was also beyond nervous. I was going out with my childhood best friend and crush since we were really small. 

There were so many things that had happen between us. I didn't know why Noelle would give me another chance. But I was happy that she decided to. Things were going to have to be perfect. An idea popped in my head. I smiled. I left my house and started driving.

When I got to the store, I walked up to the first lady that I saw. She was an older woman. I walked behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and smiled. She had golden blonde hair and had a few wrinkles around her eyes and lips. She was a smaller woman.

"Hello, how can I help you?" She smiled at me. "I'm going on my first date with a new girl, I want to get her some nice flowers, can you help me? I'm not really good at this." I looked down a little embarrassed. "I sure can, what kind of girl is she?" We started walking towards the flowers and there were different flowers and different vases.  "She's very down to earth, she loves outdoors, she's more into natural scents then strong ones. She likes the smell of raspberries." I smiled proudly. I could tell she was analyzing me.

"Is this girl important to you?" I nodded. "Well, I think the best choice are these." She gestured towards red roses. They were classic but beautiful, just like her. It was a dozen. They were more expensive than I expected. "I'll take them." She smiled. "Perfect, these are also perfect because they are long-stemmed. She's a lucky girl." She took them out of the crystal vase they were in and she wrapped them.

There was one more thing that I had to get. I walked through all the aisles until I was in the candy section. I had to get Noelle's favorite candy. Chocolate with caramel in the middle. She will love you forever if you give it to her.

When I got to her house I knocked on the door and her grandma opened the door. "Hi, I’m here to pick up Noey. Is she ready?" I asked. She nodded.

She faced the stairwell. "Noelle, sweetie, Parker is here for you." She yelled.

"I'm coming" she yelled back.

I smiled. She faced me again.

"Come in," she went into the kitchen and I followed.

"Where are you guys going tonight?" She asked.

 "We're seeing a movie." I smiled.

A few minutes later, Noelle walked into the kitchen. She had curled her hair and had on some light makeup. 

 "Wow!" Is all I could manage to say. She blushed and looked down. "Thanks" she responded. I handed her the chocolate and flowers. "These are for you." I smiled. She grabbed them and her eyes twinkled. "Thanks Parker, this is really sweet." "Are you ready?" She nodded. "Let's go." We linked arms and walked out.

Noelle Armstrong

We drove in silence for the first 10 minutes. Making little conversations here and there. When we got to the theater, Parker opened my door. I smiled. He was so cheesy. I chuckled to myself. I didn't expect for it to be so cold outside. I shivered. I guess Parker noticed because before I knew it, his jacket was over my shoulders.

We walked into the line for our tickets and Parker kissed me on the cheek and then smiled at me. I looked towards him. "Just trying to break the tension." he shrugged and then chuckled. I smiled. We bought the tickets and then walked in.

The movie was very Romantic. It made me tear up a few times. After I leaned back into my chair the third time... Parker did "the move" When I felt the warmth of his arm, I leaned into him more. It was perfect.

I felt like we were puzzle pieces that fit together to complete the puzzle. When the movie was over, we walked and talked a little.

"So how am I doing so far?" he asked smirking.

"So far so good." I smiled.

"How was your day?" I asked him.

He rolled his eyes and sighed.

 "I dealt with some people that I didn't want to be with. But you made me smile." he poked my cheek playfully.

 "Who-" I was interrupted by his phone.

"Sorry, can you give me a second?" I nodded. He walked over to a different section, but he was close enough for me to hear.

Parker Auclaire

"Dude, I'll talk to you later." "No, I can't talk about that now, I'm with her." "Listen I don't want to do the bet anymore, she's too important to me." When I turned around, Noelle was already next to me. "What do you mean bet?!" She hissed at me.

I gulped. Oh Shit!
