The Kissing Booth: Noah's Story

Chpt.6

I woke the next morning to a gentle breeze on my skin, reminding me before I even opened my eyes where I had fallen asleep. I smiled, finally blinking my eyes open a few times. Elle was laying next to me, propped up on her elbow. She smiled back a little sheepishly.

"Morning." She greeted. My grin widened and I pulled her close to me so that our bodies were touching again. Her fingers started to play with my hair as I nuzzled her neck, placing a few kisses along her collarbone. "Good morning. How are you feeling?" I asked, bringing my gaze to hers. "Good. Like I'm still coming down from cloud nine." She giggled, making me smile more. "As long as you're happy." I searched her face for any twinge of regret. She cupped my face, "Elated."

I kissed her. I meant for it to be sweet but the longer our lips lingered the hungrier we both seemed to get. I started to pull away a little and she leaned further into me, refusing to end our make out quite so soon. I humored her and nipped her lip then licked it. She smiled and darted her tongue out to meet mine. After a couple more minutes I pulled away and pressed my forehead to hers. "I guess we should probably get back to reality." I frowned and she sighed in response, nodding against my forehead. I gave her a last, quick kiss and helped her up.

Getting dressed took a little longer than it typically should have. First, I kept pulling undone the straps on her bikini top each time she finally got them tied. So she threw my shorts over her shoulder, smacking my ass as I walked past her to retrieve them. "You know, you really do have a great ass." So much for shy Elle. I grabbed her shirt from her in response, holding it out of her reach above my head. She jumped for it, laughing. "Noah!" I just grinned down at her, "Damn, Shelley. You are sexy as hell." I dropped her shirt into her hands and picked her up by her ass, kissing her hard. She wrapped her legs around my waste and moaned.

Before we could get too carried away again I set her down with a sigh. "You're irresistible." I complained. She grinned and blushed. Together we shook out and folded the blankets. I took her hand as we walked back to where we left the jeep the night before.

Driving down the road I subconsciously placed my hand on her thigh and rubbed it up and down, "Sorry." I said, taking it back and placing it on the steering wheel. "I can't seem to keep my hands off you." I caught her smirk from the corner of my eye as she took my hand off the wheel and placed it back on her thigh, a little higher than where it had been before. "I don't really want you to." I shot her a grin. "Damn it, Shelley. Keep turning me on like this and we're never going to make it home."

I pulled into a parking lot and drove to the far back corner. I put the jeep in park and gave her a short but hot kiss. "Be right back," I said before she could recover and hopped out. I scanned the aisles as I walked through the store, making sure no one would recognize me. I was in luck. I made my purchases in the pharmacy department so I didn't have to carry them to the front of the store, just in case.

Elle gave me a curious look as I got back in beside her and handed her the bag. She pulled out the condoms and waggled her eyes at me. "Elle," I started seriously, "We can't be as careless as we were last night. I know neither of us were expecting it but if we're going to do this I don't want to be caught unprepared again." I took a breath and went on, "You've probably heard that I've been all around the block and back, but I've only actually been with two girls before you. People just like to gossip." Her eyebrows shot up in surprise but she stayed silent to let me continue. "And I wore protection both times, I've been checked and I'm clean, so we're good there." I paused for a breath, letting my speech set in. "Oh." She nodded slowly and cupped my face with her hand. "Thank you. Thank you for being honest. And for, you know," She lifted the condoms, "Being smart."

I laughed a little and she smiled back at me. "Well, smart never hurts." I said and eyed the bag. She pulled out the next box and her mouth gaped. "I wasn't sure, I mean, I know you haven't before so I didn't know if you're taking something already, but, you know, just in case," I rambled. "Oh, god! I didn't even think!" She exclaimed, placing her hands on either side of her face. I reached out and smoothed her hair away from her forehead before grabbing her fingers and interlacing them with mine. "I know, I wasn't either. But it's okay, we can still take precautions." She nodded and took out the morning after pill, swallowing it down with a gulp of the water bottle she also took from the bag.
