Falling - NOAH CENTINEO

ch. 24 | Caught

Noah and I stumbled into his room, kissing.

We had just gotten out of being with Rita and Mark and we couldn't keep our hands off of each other for some reason.

I pulled the hoodie off of Noah in a flash, along with his tshirt.

Noah quick took of my top as well, leaving me in just my bra and shorts.

We fell on top of the bed so I was straddling him.

He gripped my hips tightly as we kissed passionately.

Noah was just about to reach around and unhook my bra when his door opened.

"Hey Noah, have you seen my-"

I fell off of Noah and faceplanted onto the floor.

"Holy shit, oh my god. I'm leaving!" Taylor scrambled.

"God! Knock, would ya?" Noah laughed, joking.

"Maybe you should lock your damn door!" She snorted back.

Taylor closed the door and Noah rolled over to get me. He was laughing hysterically, but I was just mortified.

I got off of the floor and sat next to him on the bed. He was on his back, cackling.

I slapped his chest. "This is not funny! Your sister almost saw my boobs!"

"It's pretty funny." He answered back. He sat up and wiped fake tears from his eyes as he calmed down.

I groaned and grabbed my shirt and slung it back over my head.

"No, c'mon." He whined. He grabbed my hips and pulled me to him so I was between his legs. "Lets finish what we started." He said, lifting my shirt up slightly to kiss my bare hip.

Although it did shoot electricity through my spine, I just wasn't in the mood anymore.

"Maybe tomorrow." I said, running my hand through his hair while he looked up at me.

He kissed my hip once more then let me go.

"Fine..." He whined.

I chuckled and picked Noah's shirt up, tossing it to him.

"Do you think she saw that it was me?" I asked.

"Oh for sure." He said, putting his shirt on.

I mentally groaned. I wasn't ready for everyone to know yet. I liked that it was a secret. I have no idea what it would do to the friend group if we started dating and would I still be able to sleep over at Noah's house if our parents knew?

Us dating will change everything.

Noah adjusted his clothes and walked towards the door. "I'll go talk to her." He laughed.

I stood up, adjusting myself as well. "Let me come too."

He nodded and we walked down the hall together.

I had no idea why I was so nervous, but I was practically shaking. Taylor knew something was up between us before anything was even going on. But now, it felt too real.

Noah knocked on Taylors door and she answered it in a flash.

She opened it with a smirk and crossed her arms.

"Thats how normal people knock." Noah mocked.

She rolled her eyes and let us into her childhood bedroom.

Taylor was now in college, but her parents hadn't transformed her room. Luckily, she was close enough to come home alot. Her pink comforter was still littered with stuffed animals and she had pictures from high school taped on her walls.

"What do you heathens want?" She asked.

"Look, just don't tell mom and dad." He said, closing the door behind him, trapping us in her room.

"I won't." She promised. "But why not?" She asked.

Noah looked at me for guidance, but I was speechless.

"We, um, just don't want everyone knowing yet." He said.

"How long has this been going on?" She smirked.

"Just a couple days." He sighed.

She raised her eyebrows and nodded like she didn't believe us. "Sure, okay."

Noah rolled his eyes. "Honest to God." He swore. "Its all really new still."

She held her hands up defensively. "Alright, alright." She said. "I won't tell on you. You guys should just really be more careful next time if you're gonna be keeping it a secret."

Noah laughed and rubbed the back of his neck. "We will."

"Alright. Now, Noah, leave. I'm gonna talk to B for a minute." She said, pointing at me.

"Me?" I asked, surpised.

"Yes, you." She laughed. "Noah, out."

Noah had a confused look on his face and quietly stepped out.

Once the door was shut, Taylor grabbed my hand and pulled me to sot on her bed with her.

"Do you want this?" She asked.

"Want what?" I asked.

"Do you want to be dating him, or whatever?"

"Of course I do." I said.

She sighed. "I mean, after I said that to you during spring break... and I know my mom talked to you too..." She sighed. "I just hope you don't feel pressured or anything."

"I don't. I kind of realized that this is what I want. I didn't know it before, but now I do." I said, proudly. I could feel a blush peek through my smile.

She smiled back. "Good. I'm glad." She said, patting my hand.

"You look happier, B." She said.

"I am happier." I smiled back.

She grinned and let go of me. "Alright, go." Shr said, ushering me out.

"Thanks, Tay." I said. "For thinking about me." I said.

"You're like my little sister, of course I'll be thinking about you." She said.

I left Taylors room and came back into Noah's to see him taking off his shirt. I could hear the water running from the shower in his bathroom.

"What'd you and Tay talk about?" He asked, proceeding to take his pants off.

"Girl stuff. You taking a shower?" I asked.

"Yeah." He said, eyeing me. "Was hoping you'd join." He smirked.

"I thought you'd never ask."
