How we met

2

The next morning I when I wake up, I hurry to get dressed and head to set.
Once I see Noah, I run up to him and give him a surprise hug "Told you I'd hug you!" I said ecstatically. "Oh hey Kayla!" He acts surprised. "You didn't know it was me?" I ask "No I knew." He laughs and we smile at each other. Then a girl with very bright red hair pops up, and says "Hey,lovebirds our first scene is coming up in five minutes." She walks away.

We stopped smiling.

"Who's that?" I ask "The producers grandchild..she isn't very nice." He says
"I see that." I cross my arms and head to the place where we're filming.
Noah catches up with me before I go outside (where set is) "Wait, Kayla." He puts his hand on my shoulder. "Yes?" I ask
"I hope what she said didn't weird you out.." he says "Do you like me?" I ask
He blushes "What?" He asks
"Do you like me?" I ask again.
"Kayla, I-" he pauses because the director is heading toward us "Hey you must be Kayla!" He smiles "Yes I am." I smile back
"Okay, we are fixing to begin hair and makeup so, please make your way to the makeup booth." He walks past us
I look at Noah because he never got to finish what he was saying.
He stares at me.
I finally just go to find it, but Noah finds me somehow. "Kayla, I—" I stop him "You flirt with me, ask me for my instagram and call me pretty, and you can't answer one simple question?" I turn around.
He looks shocked at me.
"I never said-" I stop him again "Yeah, you didn't say anything." I start to cry "I thought you liked me. Because you did all these things and-" Redhead girl appears again. "Guys—" she smirks "Oh..trouble in paradise?" She laughs , I grimace at her.
"We aren't dating." I say
"Oh really?" She asks
"Yeah, we don't even know each other." I look at Noah, and push past them.

"Look Noah, if you really want her, show her you like her." She says to Noah
"It's not as easy as it seems Bea." He walks away from her.
"Kayla wait!" Noah half yells. I turn around, "What?" I ask
"Can we-Can we start over?" He asks
"I don't know." I tell him
he come towards me and pushes me over
"Ow! What the-" I say "I'm so sorry!" He puts his hand out, smiling. It takes me a while but I smile back.

—-scream—-
I wake up.
Thank god that was a dream. That would've been awful to know Noah didn't like me. I check my phone.
You have 6 new notifications
I open my phone
Noah; hey
Noah; can I come over?
Noah; the director called and said
Noah; that it was cancelled today and
Noah; that tomorrow we go
Noah; to set :))
Me; Sure.
Noah; Okay, coming ❤️

—doorbell rings—
I run down to get it and when I open the door there he is smiling at me
"Nice house." "Thanks." I let him inside.
"Are you hungry? I make a poppin' turkey sandwich." I laugh as I take out the ingredients. "Poppin'?" He laughs.
"Yes, poppin'." I smile.
He looks around then back at me.
"Wheres your mom?" He asks
"at work." I'm still focused on making the sandwich. "Is she always gone?" He asks as he sits down.
"No, she's just on a tight schedule." I look at him briefly. "Here." I smile as he takes a bite. "Oh my god." He says with a mouth full, and I laugh "this is the best thing since cake." He eats the rest. and we're both laughing because we've just made some inside jokes. and now we're on floor laughing our brains out. We stop laughing and Noah sits up. "We should practice." He looks at me. I sit up. "What do you mean?" I ask. "The lines, for Liz, episode 1" "oh!" I nod and he takes out the script
We practice for a while and then he gets an idea. "Wait! Follow me." He runs out the door. "Where are you going??" I yell from the door. He turns around and yells back "just come!" He smiles and turns back around. I grab my phone, some money and a hair tie. I run out there and Noah opens the car door for me, then he gets in. "Where are we going?" I ask him
He looks at me. "To the park." He smiles.
"But it's a 75% chance it'll rain Noah-"
"It'll be fine Kayla!" He gets excited
Once we get to the park he lays out a blanket and a surprise picnic basket he lays out in front of me. "Wow.." I look at it
"Did you bring a turkey?" I laugh joking of course. "No sadly." He smiles at me then we start laughing again. I lay down on the blanket and look up at the sky. It's starting to get darker but he didn't seem to care. He laid down next to me.
"Do you come here a lot?" I look at Noah
"No, not as much as I'd want to." He sighs looking at me. "It's a shame it's cloudy, or else it'd be so gorgeous here." I sit up and look at the sky. I run to the car making Noah think I'm leaving. I open the car door and grab my sketchbook I secretly brought with me. I ran back to him and he laughed "I didn't even see that in your hand!" I look at him "it wasn't in my hand" I laugh. It starts to sprinkle and we get kind of worried because now the clouds were really dark. "Should we go?" I start to get up. "Nah." He pulls me by the arm to lay back down. He rolls over and looks at me. "You know.." he pauses "you're exactly how I imagined Liz." He stared dreamily into my eyes. "You're somehow what I thought Jack would look like too." I look into the trees. Noah sits up as grabs an umbrella out of the picnic basket. "Ooh, so you were prepared." I smile at him. "Come with me." He grabs my hand and we run with the umbrella.
he brings me to a swing set, and we swing at the same time with the umbrella in his hand. I try to grab the umbrella but I grab his hand, so now we're both holding the umbrella and it's really awkward.
I let go and start swinging faster trying to reach the top so I can jump off. "Doing this reminds me of being little." I smile in remembrance. "Me too." He looks at me.
And I jump off gracefully. He gasps and then jumps off. "Are you okay?" He asks
"Yes, I've been doing that since I was four." I laugh. He stares at me. I stare at him. And all of the sudden it's raining lightly. I look up at the sky. He keeps looking at me. "Well, time to go back?" I ask. "Nah, it's just a little rain."
—a couple minutes later—
it's raining really hard so Noah grabs me to get me under the umbrella. We look at each other. Inches away. Then the car we took to get here pulled up and the driver shouted "come on! It's raining." We look over at him then start walking together towards the car. When we get in the car i put my hand on his discreetly. I knew he wanted to kiss me and he was a little upset. He smiled when I put my hand on his. But I didn't look at him. I just looked out the window smiling.
When we got to my house, we went inside and I suggested that we play a game. He asked if we could play roblox and even though I didn't like the game much , i said yes. So I quickly made an account and we got to playing.
After that, I grabbed his hand and pulled him outside. It was still raining just not as hard. He laughed "what are we doing?" I look at him. And he stops smiling. "I wanted to show you something." I said.
"Okay." He responds. "I used to go when I was little and it was raining. My mom would always have to find me." I brought him to the door under the staircase that leads up to my house. It was warm in there it still had my custom fairy lights I had made when I was seven. and it was very small. smaller than I remember. "Wow." He looks around." He laughs at a few things and smiles at the rest.
"I was nine when I stopped coming here."
I stop smiling. "My dad moved out and I got so upset." I sit down on the small couch. "He helped me build this, so I didn't come in, I only looked at it from the outside." I stare into nothing and Noah looks at me concerned. "Now coming in here feels like something that's been missing a long time has finally come back." I stand up. "I miss him." I look around. "Kayla I-" I stop him "it's okay." I look at him. "Kayla-" "the rain stopped." I open the door. I turn back around and smile at him. "We can go back to the park?" He smiles "I don't mind." I say.
We get back into the car and Noah takes me to the park again. This time we hide behind a tree so the driver wont find us
we laugh and smile and the rain starts up again. The driver is now looking all around for us. I look at Noah and he looks at me. I'm against the tree hiding from the driver and he goes a different way. "Good thing he probably won't find u—" he kisses me. I'm shocked so my eyes are open for the first half of it. he pulls away and we're just staring  at each other now "sorry I don't know why I did that i-" I stop him "shut up." I kiss him again. And he smiles when we pull away. "You have no idea." He starts "I've been waiting to kiss you since the coffee shop." He says "I've been waiting to kiss you since I saw and met you." I look at him and we smile at each other. I grab his hand and we walk to the car. The driver states "finally! Where did you kids go?" We look at each other "oh I see." He smirks at Noah and Noah blushes. I'm still holding Noahs hand but then when we pull up to my house he wouldn't let go of my hand.
"Noah, I have to go. I'll text you." I gave him a quick kiss and ran up the stairs to my house, and waved to him as I went to my house.
