Noah Princeton

Chapter 22

"So wait you're telling me that you have been daydreaming about him?" Trent asked. I look at him nervously as to what he had to say. He looks at me. 

"Is that bad?" He lets out a small laugh. I through a piece of popcorn at him. "It's not funny, Trent. I'm going through something and I need advice." 

"Hope, it's okay. Everybody has sex dreams about people. It's normal." I look down at the bowl of popcorn in my lap. "Is this seriously the first time you've had a sex dream about someone?" He asked. I looked up at him. 

"No, it's not but it's the first time I've actually thought about going there with someone." He nods slowly. 

"Can't you talk to Ivy about this?" I shake my head as I set the bowl down next to me on the bed. 

"Noah is her bother. I don't want to weird her out." He gives me a smile. 

"Well, I'm glad you decided to talk to me out of every one of your friends." I roll my eyes. 

"Well I can't talk to Deon because he's my brother and Ivy is out of the question. You are here so why not? I'm just surprised you aren't upset or whatever." He rolls his eyes. 

"I know we have a past and I haven't been a good friend to you and for that, I apologize. I should never have raised my hands to you." I look away from his gaze. 

"It's okay, Trent." 

"No, it's not." I look back at him. He gives me a small smile and sighs. "You know I never cheated on you. When you and I started dating we did it behind Deon's back. When he found out I knew he was never going to be okay with it so I had to choose. You and or him." I give him a small smile as I nod. 

"I would have chosen him too." 

"I just didn't want you hating me for something I didn't do." 

"I don't hate you." He smiles. 

"Is it my charms?" I roll my eyes. 

"Why must you ruin a good moment?" He shrugs. 

"I had too." The dorm room door opens and Noah looks between Trent and me. I smile at him. He lets the door close behind him. 

"Am I interrupting something?" I look at Trent who winks at me. I roll my eyes at him and stand up. I walk up to Noah. 

"No, we are just waiting on Deon for a movie night. Kate had a late-night shift at the hospital so he wanted to come to hang out." Noah nods. 

"I just came in here because Ivy had my bag." I nod and turn to her bed and grab it. I hand it to him. 

"She had a study date at the library." He rolls his eyes. 

"I wish they would just tell me already. This lying and sneaking around is so annoying." I cross my arms. 

"You can confront them." He opens his mouth to say something. 

"Not a good idea," Trent said. I look at him remembering Deon's reaction to him finding out and confronting us. I nod slowly and look back at Noah as his eyes stare at Trent for a second too long. 

"Maybe waiting is better." He nods slowly. 

"Do you guys want me to leave?" He asked. I give him a small smile. 

"Not really." He returns the same smile. 

"Yes," Trent said. I looked at him and he chuckles. "I was just kidding." Noah sighs. 

"I thought you two were fighting or whatever?" He asked. Trent looked at him. 

"What's the matter, Noah? Are you worried that we might be getting back together?" He asked. Noah opened his mouth to reply when the bedroom door opens and Ivy walks in with Deon behind her. She looks at everyone. 

"Look who I ran into." She said. I look at Trent as he stares at Noah who was looking at him. 

"Did I miss something?" Deon asked. Trent looks at him. 

"Nope, everything is good." Noah looks at me. 

"Maybe I should leave." I grab his hand before he could turn around. He looks down at it and up at me. 

"Stay." He gives me a small smile and walks over to my bed picking up the popcorn. I smile at him. I turn to Deon who was glaring at Trent. "Hey?" Deon looks at me. "Everything is good." He nods. I turn to Ivy who was staring at Noah. She looked up at me with a small smile before grabbing a jacket. 

"I'm on my way out I just need a jacket." I give her a small nod before she walks out. I stare at the door for a minute. 

"I'm surprised you and Trent didn't kill each other while you waited for me," Deon said as he spread out on the beanbag we had in here. I looked at Trent who laid on the other one. He looked at me before looking away. 

"We sorta worked out our problems." He said. Deon looked at me as I looked at him. 

"You mean you learned how to keep your hands off of women?" Noah asked. Trent looked at him ready to start fighting. His eyes landed on mine and he sighed. 

"Something like that." I turn around to my bed and grab the remote. I turn on the TV and go to Netflix. I toss the remote to Deon and he smiles. I sit down on my bed as Noah hands the bowl of popcorn to Deon. Deon chooses a movie and Trent got up to close the curtains. I lean on the wall on the side of my bed as I sigh. A hand goes on my thigh and I look over at Noah. He gives me a smile. I give him a small one. 

"Are you okay?" He whispered in my ear. I look at him and nod. He searches my eyes and gives me a worried look. "Are you sure?" I nod again. I shift on the bed and laid my head on his chest. He wraps his arm around my waist and I look at the TV. On the corner of my eyes, I caught a glimpse of Trent staring at us. I met his eyes and he looks down.
