The Kissing Booth - The First Year

Harvard gang - Elle

We arrived at Noah's house and everyone was in the games room, talking and laughing.

"Your son is one of the most famous players on campus, everyone knows Noah Flynn, the new Harvard quarterback," said the tall guy sitting next to June. On the other side was a dark-haired, very pretty, green-eyed girl. On the front couch were Lee, Rachel, Matthew and another guy who, if I did not know that the Flynn's were just two brothers, I would surely have said that he was Lee's twin. They did not realize, at the time, that we had arrived and I listened the tall guy talking about how famous Noah was on campus ... I felt an ice in my belly, jealousy ... but only for a moment.

"Hey Noah come here, finally let's meet famous Elle Evans, the girl who makes Noah lose his sleep and air," said the other guy sitting next to Matthew and Lee.

"Mike, you do not exist ... This is Elle, my beautiful girlfriend." Noah made the introductions and then turned to me. "Shelly, these are Will and Alice, and this open mouth is Mike" and gave that beautiful smile showing his cute dimple. I'd already seen all of them in Noah's photos on social networks, but personally everything changes a bit.

I went to each to greet them, and Alice gave me a hug, saying that I was even more beautiful than in the pictures, as Noah always said. She was taller than me (not so hard) dark-haired, perfect body and green eyes. Will was also dark-haired, as tall as Noah, and brown eyes. Noah had always told me about them, ever since they met, and told me when they started dating, he always said Alice was like a sister to him and I could see why, she was just adorable. I kind of liked her at first sight. I remembered he mentioning another girl, but did not remember the girl's name, the only thing I remember is that she was very close to Alice. I thought I'd ask if she had come, too, but I just let it go.

Mike was very, very much like Lee, the same height, the same hair. Only his eyes were different, caramel, I think ... I did not have time to pay attention because June was about to serve dinner and we had to put my things (a million things) in Noah's room. We climbed in and he dropped my bag and threw me on the bed, gave me another passionate kiss, but very fast since Lee was yelling from the bottom of the stairs that dinner was served. I looked at Noah who was staring at me with that sexiest look in the universe ... my heart did not get used to it and it continued jumping every time my eyes met his, but I had to focus on Lee's screams "Let's go down or your brother will try to find a way to embarrass us, or rather of making me very ashamed. "

I got up, went to the mirror to straighten my hair and he stood there on the bed looking at me "You look beautiful" he said smiling

"Come on!" I pulled him and we went down.

We talked a lot during dinner, everyone telling us how much Noah was engaged in studies and training, several stories of the barbecues at Alice's house. Will told us about that one time Noah drank so much that he slept hugged with a stuffed bear on the chaise-lounger by the pool ... and woke up full of toothpaste on his forehead. I cried out laughing because I saw the pictures and Noah himself sent me one in which they had written Elle and made a heart right in the middle of his chest.

Lee and I told them about our senior year and our expectations for college, and then I confirmed that I would enroll for physical education, which made Noah smile of joy. What made me happier was to see Lee excited, telling all our old stories, all our adventures and even the bullshits we have made when we were kids. Rachel, who already knew the stories, used to spice up the details so we had an extremely pleasant evening.

At the end of dinner we went back to the games room, the boys wanted to play pool and try to get Noah to lose for the first time, which was practically impossible. Lee, me, Rachel and Alice stayed on the couch talking. June and Matthew said good night and went to their room. Alice was talking about her parents and how much they liked Noah.

"Elle, we all had the feeling of meeting you in person before arriving here, just because of the way Noah talks about you. My mother kind of treats him like a son. I already talked to June and Matthew and invited them to go to Boston on Thanksgiving, since my parents asked me to invite all of you, so... I think you should think about it too, girl. You are officially invited" she smiled and winked to me

"Ah ... right ... I'll see ... you know I have my father and my brother ... I can not leave them here alone"

"Hey, no problem, they are more than welcome to go, too. Our house is big, even though it's just me and my parents ... it will be great to have you all there!" She was so kind, I could not refuse this invitation, other than it was another opportunity to be close to Noah .

"Okay, I'll talk to my dad ... thank you anyway for inviting us."

Lee and Rachel said they were really tired, so they went up to his room. I kept talking to Alice, waiting for the boys to finish the game.

"You know, Elle, when we met Noah, he was very closed, with that bad boy face, I never figured how fraternal he was, and never even guessed that he had a girlfriend and that he loved her so much ... you're very lucky , he only has eyes for you! But he never told how you two ended up together ..." she was being very sincere and smiled

"We've known each other over a lifetime ... Lee is my best friend, we grew up together, I had a teenage passion for Noah, but I never imagined that he could ever look at me the same way, and also, being Lee's brother, I was really afraid that this would cause our friendship to be harmed in any way. I was very reluctant, it was very difficult in the beginning, first because we hid it from everyone, second because I refused to believe that I could fall in love with him. Lee found out in the stupidest way possible, at school, and that, almost, made him stop talking to me. Noah's bully way was always a problem to me, he was always in some fights and the last few times it was all because of me, in his super protective way with me. Do you believe he made all the boys in school afraid on call me out? "Alice laughed a lot when I told her that part

"I do not believe Elle, was he already in love then?"

"He says no, that it was only because he saw me as a helpless younger sister, but his mother said that she thinks deep down he always liked me ... I only know that all the trouble also made me afraid to admit that I loved him ... It was only at the prom that he officially asked me to be his girlfriend, in front of the whole school, and from then on everything changed a lot." I paused for a thoughtful moment, those memories always made me excited "And soon after came the news about him going to Harvard ... I think it was only then that we both realized that we really loved each other, we talked and decided to try a long-distance relationship ... so far everything has gone well" I smile at the end

"How beautiful ... you are so lovely together and I understand perfectly why he loves you so much ... you can trust we will always take care of him for you" she smiled and gave me a hug, when we heard a scream and several laughs.

"It's impossible to win! This guy is unbelievable." Will was disappointed, but laughing

"I told you there was no way, neither you two together get along better when the king is playing" Noah spoke in a mocking tone.

Mike said he was going to sleep, and then the four of us, Alice, Will, Noah and I went to bed. The guest room was across the hall from Noah's bedroom. We said good night and went to bed. Literally "to bed". My night was just beginning ...

He closed the door so fast that I laughed at his face when it slamed, he looked into my eyes and lifted me into the air ... my legs hugged him and he gently threw me on his bed ... began to kiss my lips, softly, calmly ... but then a warmth came and he was becoming more and more urgent. We made love all night and fell asleep only when the sun was rising.
