My Handsome Adventure

chapter 20

Noah's POV

"Of course!!" She chirps.

A pang of jealousy hits me. But I hide it quickly with a nod. "Who was he?"

"There are a lot . Not just one." She says.

Now I'm ready for the world to split and swallow me in.

Joan continues as my heart weeps silently.

"first love....myself. then my mom. Then comes my Dad. Then my....."

"Wait wait." I interrupt her. "Whisper stop messing with me." I say sternly.

"Well if you meant the other kind of love....then no. I haven't fallen in love." She says looking deep into my eyes.

I'm so not ready for the world to split and swallow me.

I honestly can feel my organs doing a happy dance inside my body.

"Aaah I get it. You're still searching for the perfect guy to come along." I say digging deeper into the subject.

She lays down on the bed. Her legs dangling to the side. "Actually I think I know where my perfect guy is. I'm just waiting for the perfect time." She says staring at her ceiling that is covered with glow in dark stickers.

"Me too whisper." I say laying next to my perfect girl , hoping to be the guy she is thinking of.

Joan's POV

"Me too whisper." He says laying next to me.

I wonder if he understood that I was talking about him. My perfect guy.

The room falls silent for some time. The sound of rain drops falling on the leaves and window glass reaches my ears. I look at Noah whose features look gorgeous even in the dim light coming from my bed lamp.

"Whisper." He calls out without opening his eyes.

"Yeah Noah."

"What's the craziest thing you've done lately?" He asks.

"Umm let a guy in my room after midnight while my parents are downstairs." I say smiling at my own words.

He eyes pop open as he jolts from the bed. "Let's go shopping!" He says as if it's the greatest idea he's ever had.
Maybe it is.

I repeat his actions."shopping?! You've gotta be kidding me!"

"I'm not kidding you. We're out of M&M's . Let's go to the grocery store to get some more." He plans excitedly.

I look at the packet of M&M's on the table. "It's not empty." I point at the packet.

He licks his lower lip and grabs the packet from the table and empties the leftover chocolates into his mouth.

After swallowing them he wiggles his eyebrows."it's empty now."

"You're not gonna pay heed to my words anyway. So get the hell out and do whatever you want. That boy's got you hooked." My inner voice says before I even ask anything.

I sigh getting up from the bed. "Alright let's go shopping."
