The Kissing Booth - The First Year

Surprises - Noah

Once again I was respecting Elle's time, but at this point I didn't even know who the hell had taken and sent those stupid photos to her.

"Hey big bro calm down ok? I know exactly how she must be feeling. It is not just mad, it's the feeling of being fooled by the guy she loves... of course you didn't do anything, but let things calm down and I'm sure she'll listen to you. I bet she will." Alice always trying to help with my nerves, she and Will were with me all the time, they knew I would never do something like this.

The week started and the campus was really empty, a lot of people had gone to enjoy Spring Break, but we had training all week, so the team was back in the field on Monday afternoon. I was very focused on training, this helped me forgot, at least for the time I was playing, about  how much I was upset.

At night I was in my bed watching a movie and my mother called me "Hi baby ... how are you feeling today?"

"I'm ok mom... I'm trying not to think about everything, I am focused on training and I'm going to wait for her time to finally hear me... but this time I'm a little tired... This time I didn't do anything wrong. Alice told me she understands Elle too, so I'll wait... until Thursday at least, and if I have nothing on her side, I go home over the weekend to talk to her"

"But you have practice during the weekend, don't you?"

"No ... I have until Thursday afternoon, so we'll have three days off. The game will be only late next week, so practices will be back on Tuesday."

"Oh, I see ... okay honey, I just wanted to know if you were okay. Have a good night, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

"Good night mom."

I looked at my phone, there were a lot of pictures of Elle. I started zapping them and fell asleep. It was almost 10 in the morning when I woke up really drenched. I had the most bizarre dream with Elle. She was sick and I was trying to talk to her and couldn't, I was desperate in the dream and I woke up still feeling my heart beating fast. I got up and went to the shower. Alice and Will would wait me for breakfast, I called him and they were in the common room waiting for me.

The afternoon training was very intense and I felt my knee ache a bit after a long run so I decided that I would have dinner in my dorm.

"Ah, really Noah, my mother was expecting us to have dinner with her and my father ... she'll be disappointed"

"Alice, please tell her I needed to be quiet with some ice on my knee ... I can't feel like this tomorrow or the coach can replace me on the team. The last thing I want is to be replaced now... football is helping me a lot these days. "

"Okay ... be careful, we'll talk tomorrow." she gave me a hug and they went to her house

I ordered dinner, lasagna ... and the pineapple cake for dessert. "She would love that"

I took a shower, my knee still hurting... someone knocked on my door, I looked at my phone, it was 10:30 at night, who would have been? "Just a minute," I had to rinse and grabbed a towel to open the door.

"Who is it?" No answer and I thought it was really strange ... I opened the door and she was there, with those beautiful blue eyes staring at me. I forgot I was only on towel, I picked and lifted her up in my arms. She kissed me passionately and I took her inside, but her bag stayed outside. She gentled the kiss and laughed "We forgot my bag"

"Oh ... right ... yes ... here" I took the bag and closed the door "Where did we stop?" I kissed her again.

When we finally stopped and I could look at her face, I was really intrigued. "So... can you please explain all this?"

She was a bit embarrassed and started to say, "Well... I just realized today that I was making one of the biggest mistakes of my life ... and I had to come here and see you and tell you that I'm sorry for driving you crazy. "

"It's alright ... I talked to my mother and Alice, both made me see that you needed to see for yourself that things were not the way you were seeing it..." I hugged her, sniffed her hair ... I couldn't believe that she was there with me "Weren''t you at my grandmother's house in Malibu?"

"Yes... I was... I woke up this morning and called your mother, she went to pick me up and gave me a ride to the airport. I take the first flight to Boston ... I had to see you. I'm so sorry, Noah, I'm really sorry." She started to cry

"Hey baby, there's no need to feel this way, please do not cry ..." I kissed her and she kissed me back. "Are you hungry? I have lasagna and ... guess what? Pineapple cake" she opened the most beautiful smile

"Are you kidding me ... do you have pineapple cake? Of course I want it mafriend! "She got up and went to the fridge "Wow" she took the cake and went back to bed. She looked at the cream and looked at me. "I have an idea," she began to run her fingers through the cream and then passed it in my mouth, I understood her point and let her do whatever she wanted.

We had the most incredible night ever...

I had to get up early for training on Thursday, she was sleeping so deep ... "Shelly ... hey my love..." I called very soft in her year

"Hi... good morning... what time is it?" She did not even open her eyes.

"It's 7:30 in the morning. I have to go to the field, last training of the week... do you want to come with me? Alice will be there"

"Oh... yes... I want to go baby..." she hugged me and I kissed her.

We got up and went to have breakfast in the cafeteria. The field was crowded and I saw Alice "Hey sis, look who's going to keep you company today" I said and she gave a great smile to us

"Hey Elle! What a surprise! Now I understand why Mr. Flynn disappeared last night. Great to see you dear," she hugged Elle.

"Well... I was not planning to come, it was all last minute decision." Elle smiled.

"Well girls, I have to go. I'll see you two later for lunch." I kissed Elle and smiled at Alice.
