As I told Noen the directions to my house, he would glimpse over every few minutes and chuckle, making me furrow my eyebrows and scrunch my face up at him. When we finally arrived at my house, maybe 20 minutes later, he pulled into the driveway and popped the trunck, grabbing both bags and throwing them over his shoulder.
"Wow, your house is huge." Noen says, running his free hand through his hair. I roll my eyes and enter the numbers into the padlock, unlocking it with a click. My house was a 3 story, with a pool and garden in the back.
"What should we do first?" I turn and say quickly to Noen, feeling relief for not being in the house alone for once. He looks at me and shakes his head, placing the bags down on the bottom step of the stairs to the left of him.
"I'm starving." Noen runs his hands through his hair, trying to calm the mess. I giggle and nod as he smiles at me. "I'm gonna postmates something. What are you hungry for?"
"Tacobell!" I say quickly, leading him into the media room, which had black walls and a projector to play movies. I flick on the projector and use the voice controller to pull up Netflix, looking through movies.
"Hey, put in your order, i'll pick the movie." Noen takes the remote from my hand, replacing it with his phone to which his order was already input. I take a deep breath, choosing my order and locking it in and hitting 'order'. I smile at Noen and start to run up the steps to the top row seating, pulling out blankets from the built in and throwing them on the sofa, thumping down on top of them, Noen's phone still in my hand.
"Watcha choosing?" I pronounced down to Noen as he clicks on a movie, jogging up the steps as well, jumping into the bundle of blankets next to me. "Noen!" I exclaimed, feeling him move and start tickling me. "No!" I start to squeal and kick, getting buried in the blankets.
All of a sudden, Noen stops, sitting up quickly. He smiles and looks me up and down, moving a piece of hair out of my eyes and behind my ear. "I never thought we would meet, and I couldn't be happier we did." I feel my cheeks heat up and fall into his arms to hug him, fiddling my fingers through his hair.
"Me too, Noen. I'm so lucky." I start to pull away and he stops me, grabbing me tighter and holding me against his chest, pulling my legs over his. "I've never had someone as special as you." I hear the movie start and look to see that its the new Aladdin, which I told Noen I really wanted to see.
After maybe 20 minutes, I heard the doorbell ring and I got up, Noen pausing the movie, as I rush to the front door, taking the bags from the delivery boy and rushing back into the media room. "Oh my, thank goodness I have food." Noen mumbled putting hot sauce on both our tacos, taking a huge bite.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The movie had ended and I was taking the garbage from our taco bell order to the trash, returning to see that Noen was on his phone, scrolling through different songs or something. "Watcha up to?" I question, sitting next to him and covering up in blankets. On his phone are videos of people, some lip-syncing, some dancing, and some look like Instagram edits. As he scrolls, he double taps some, like the Instagram liking system.
"Its tiktok." Noen says, side eyeing me. "I hope its not weird to you." He exits and goes to his home page which was just a black screen. I giggle and scoot closer to him, interlocking my arm with his.
"I don't even know what it is, so show me." I proposed. "But first..." I grab his phone, turning on the back facing camera. "We need to fix your depressing wallpaper." I scrunch up my face and put my head on his shoulder, snapping a picture of us both, sending it to me for a quick edit and sending it back when it was finished. I put the picture as his wallpaper and finally showed him.
"Wow..." Noen ran his fingers through his hair, smiling lightly and then covering his face with his shirt. "Its amazing." He mumbled coming back up, pulling up tiktok. At the bottom of the page I saw some notifications, a lot of them.
"So, show me your profile." I shrugged, as he pressed his profile button.

"Oh my god, Noen!" I grab his phone, staring at the screen. "You have 1.1 million followers!" I scroll through the videos, pulling up some of them. Most of them were him looking at the camera and ruffling his hair, but he was so gorgeous in them that it really didnt matter. Some of the videos, the further you went, were comedy that I chuckled at.
"Okay, stop now. Its embarrassing!" Noens cheeks redden and he reaches for his phone. I pull away and make it back to the top, seeing the most recent, featuring me. The caption reading 'some people make your heartbeat a little too fast...'. I feel myself redden, and I hand him his phone, smiling to myself. "We should make you an account." Noen suggested, pulling up his recommended page, scrolling through more videos.
"Your so right!" I grab my phone, instantly clicking on the app store and installing tiktok. "What should my profile picture be?" I question once it fully downloaded and made me start creating my account. As I look through my camera roll, Noen stops me and points to a picture of me from last month from my basketball banquet, to which I was wearing my favorite dress and my hair was curled as I was sitting on the entrance steps, smiling.
"That is my favorite picture of you." Noen elaborated. "Now for your bio, put a funny line and you'll land so many followers." Thinking about it I finally just landed on the most basic line ever, 'i have no idea what im doing...' Noen stood up, stretching, making his sweatshirt lift just above his waistline, showing some of his abdomen and his abdominal hair trail which made me melt into my seat some more. "We have to make a video for your account." Noen smirked and grabbed my phone going through some of the sounds and then he announced he was following himself and looked through his own videos, looking for a good sound to use.
"I like that ones beat." I exclaim, hearing the song 'or nah'. (I can give you anything you want, all you gotta say is okay. Baby, if you let me get on top, I'll have you feeling some type of way.)
Noen raises his eyebrow and I nod, smiling and getting up, looking over his shoulder. He clicks it on and sets it on the media bar, putting on the timer and stepping back. We sing along and mid way through Noen grabs my arm pulling me towards him, running the back of his hand down my face. I smile and the music stops. Noen hesitates to let go but I giggle and go to grab my phone, captioning the video 'I have a soft spot for soft boys...' mentioning him.
"That was the perfect first video." Noen brags, smirking and pulling out his phone, liking my video and commenting the winking emoji, winking to me in real life as well. I knew the video was just a play around video, but my gut made me feel butterflies- no- the whole damn zoo, when Noen touched me.
