"You were with who all day?" Bella asked, wide eyed, as she cooked herself dinner.

I nodded my head. "You heard right. None other than Noah Centineo himself." I said.

"Dude..." She said, in disbelief. "I cannot believe that."

"Why is that so hard to believe?" I chuckled.

"Well, lets see. You broke his heart and then four years later you guys just happen to bump into each other and then you hang out for 10 hours." She gave me a look. "He still has the hots for you." She smirked.

"He does not." I rolled my eyes. "It was a very friendly hangout."

"Mhm." She said, mocking me. "Friends don't post pictures and say 'missed you'"

I rolled my eyes again. "He added a 'pal' onto the end. Thats a word that friends use." I scoffed.

"Okay, whatever you say." She said. "You guys gonna hang out again?" She asked, excitedly.

"I don't know, he said he wants to." I blushed at the thought of seeing Noah again. I already missed him.

"Yeah, dude, you have to. He's a well known actor now." She laughed. "You have to hop on that, ASAP."

"Bella!" I laughed.

"It's true. It sounds like he's loaded." She laughed, putting her food onto a plate.

"Yeah he is, but its so nice because hes still the same Noah, but better in a way."

"In a monetary way?" Bella smirked.

I rolled my eyes. "No, hes just older and more mature. He thinks deeper and hes way funnier."

"Sounds like someones gotta a crush." She laughed scooping her food into her mouth.

"Oh shut up, I'm not 18 anymore." I laughed,  crossing my arms.

"Okay, a love interest. You have a love interest now."

I laughed. Maybe I was in love with Noah again. It felt silly and childish to have a crush on someone again but Noah and I did have a past. He was my first time, first real love, the first person to truly care for me.

Ugh, this was gonna be hard.

On Monday morning, my alarm woke me up all too early.

I groaned and sat up in my bed, shutting it off.

I slugged over to my bathroom and showered, getting ready for work.

Although I felt like I had a nice, relaxed weekend, I still felt like I had spent most of it thinking about Noah. I was on edge, hoping that he'd text me so we could see each other again.
