Running Into Noah

RIN/Chapter 16

As we laid there I heard Noah take a deep breath, "Why did you leave me?" He asks and I frowned.

"I don't know." I said, "Maybe because you were with Daisy...and I didn't want to see that anymore."

Noah laughed, but not normally it was just a a blow out his nose. "That's funny." He said and I looked up to him.

How is that funny?

"Because..." He said as he stood up more, causing me to sit up too. "I broke up with Daisy the night before we ended up driving to that concert."

What? ... No, he would of told me. No...

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I don't know if I was shocked or just... confused..? I shook my head and looked at Noah, "How come you didn't tell me?"

"I tried." He said and I shook my head, "Yes I did. I was always right in the middle of saying it but you just always stopped me and said its done." He almost shout at me.

I flinched back and frowned at him but he didn't seem to notice it as he went on and on about complete nonsense that happened years ago.

I sat on the couch and listened to each word cutting through my heart.

"And another thing-" Noah was going off until he looked down to me, his face instantly soften and he slid next to me. "I'm sorry." He apologized as he wiped away a tear I didn't notice come out.

I looked into his beautiful green eyes, his jaw set and he looked down to my lips and I looked down at his.

I haven't kissed those soft pink lips in 4 years...

I looked in Noah's green eyes but behind him I could still see the Christmas lights on the wall and tree but they looked blurry. The sound of Christmas carols on the radio seemed to die down but I can still hear the beat. Noah and I slowly moved closer in and the smell of his cologne filled my nose, he smelled fresh.

Our lips lingered over one another's and ever so softly they touched. Noah's hand instantly grabbed the back of my neck to keep it in place or to keep me from pulling away, and my hand instantly shot up to his cheek- it was weird... it's like I felt the goosebumps on his skin rise.

Noah soft lips made the kiss even more memorable, our first kiss flooded back into my mind but this kiss was different- it was better.

Noah licked my bottom lip and I let him in, his tongue roaming my mouth and mine doing the same to his. It was amazing and I wasn't surprised at the moan that escaped both of our lips.

As Noah and I pulled away to catch out breaths that's when the taste of beer came back into my mouth. It was as if the kiss sent my taste buds on off mode and I wasn't able to taste anything except Noah's sweetness from the kiss.

Suddenly I felt all hot and needy. I wanted Noah. Right now, right here.

But I couldn't. It wasn't the right thing to do, but damn the way he's looking at me right now makes me want to scream.

Before Noah can say anything I quickly ran into my room and shut the door. I leaned up against it and slid down and took a couple deep breaths.

What the hell did I just do?

I kissed Noah.

And my god, it was amazing!

I touched my sore lips and smiled. That kiss was the best kiss I have ever had...

But why did I feel so guilty?

My eyes looked over to my phone that was flashing up because of low battery and my heart sank at the picture.

Tom.

It was a picture of me and Tom at a party we went to in early September. It was my favorite picture we took together, we looked so happy.

Toms probably at Richards right now drinking alone and I'm over here in a small cottage kissing Noah.

I bit my lip and looked back to the wooden door because I'm debating in my head,

Should I go back to Noah or just stay in this room until after Christmas?

I can't stay in here for a whole day...

But I can't go out there either..

Ugh!

Why is my life such a mess?!

Noah's P.O.V

It felt like I sat on the couch for a whole hour just thinking about that kiss.

That kiss...

It was perfect.

I have never kissed anyone like that, not even Dani the first time we kissed. But now look, our second kiss was better than our first.

I wonder if Dani didn't like the kiss? She ran off in her room so fast it took be a couple minutes to register she wasn't in the same room as me anymore.

I took a deep breath and walked over to my room.

I just need some sleep...

I took of my shirt and pants just leaving me in my boxers, I was in no mood to put on sweat pants right now.

I climbed into the bed and it made a big squeaky noise because its so old, I covered myself and just laid there and looked in the darkness.

I looked over to my side to see how empty it was. I wouldn't mind if Dani would sleep here tonight. We wouldn't even have to do anything, just sleep.

I squeezed my eyes shut and told myself over and over again, "Just fall asleep."

The sound of the door opening made my eyes pop open and I looked up to see a tall skinny figure at the door and she came tiptoeing inside the room.

"Noah?" Her soft voice whispered.

"Dani?" I said as I sat up to see her but it was kind of too dark. "What are you doing?" I ask and she sits in the empty part on my bed and turns her head over to me.

"I don't want to sleep alone tonight." She says as she takes some of the blanket and covers herself. "Is that okay?" She asks as she lays down and gets comfy.

I smile, "Yeah." I said as I laid down next to her.

I slowly put my arms around her and pulled her in close to me. "Goodnight." Dani whispered.

"Goodnight."
