Just Friends: A Noah Beck Story

31- Too Many Games

Bryce: *sitting down*
"Ok, I'll start. Griffin... where's the craziest place you guys have done the deed?"

Griffin stalls not wanting to answer that. It's not that he's uptight, he just doesn't like to share and risk upsetting Dixie.

Dixie: *completely drunk at this point, blurts out the answer*
"In a movie theater"

Everyone is shocked and spends the next 5 minutes trying to debate how that would even work without getting caught

You: *growing more confident cut in when Bryce chooses truth next*
"Who is the last person you hooked up with"

He looks at Addison, then at Indiana before looking down at his cup and saying:
"Indiana"

You are shocked. Does that mean she has been hooking up with him again and hiding it?

Indiana: "Very funny, we haven't been together in almost 2 months"

Bryce: "I know and I haven't been with anyone since"

Blake tries to lighten the tension, by asking for a dare.

Dixie:
"You have to kiss Griffin"

Blake: "No way, not happening"

Griffin: *puckers up laughing hysterically*
"C'mon Blake, gimme a big ol' smooch"

Blake takes off running and Griffin chases after him.

Bryce: "Ok Indiana, Truth or Dare"

Indiana: *scared of whatever question he might ask blurts out*
"Dare"

Bryce: "I dare you to kiss me again"

He leans over before she has the chance to answer and kisses her as everyone looks at Addison. Blake has sat back down since Griffin got distracted by pouring a new drink in the kitchen. He can see that Addison is feeling uncomfortable with having just watched Bryce kiss Indiana in front of her so he asks her:
"Truth or Dare"

Addison: "Dare"

Blake: "How about you kiss Noah"

Addison: *looks around and shrugs her shoulders*
"Is that cool Noah"

Noah: "No offense Addi, but I'm not really down to kiss anyone tonight so Blake you take over that one"

Addison: "I don't really care one way or another"

Blake: "What is your problem dude, it's just a game"

Blake grabs Addison's face and gives her a quick kiss before shaking his head at Noah and calling him a crybaby.

Noah: "This game is stupid and I'm done playing"

Blake: *looks Noah in the eyes challenging him*
"Y/N, how about I dare you to kiss me"

Noah stops in his tracks and glares at Blake

Dixie: "Is this truth or dare or is this a kissing game? Can we get some original dares here"

You: "It's fine I don't even care"

Noah: "Does that make you feel cool? She clearly doesn't want to"

Blake: "I think she can speak for herself"

You: "You're right I can, and that goes for both of you!"

Noah turns back to storm away and you yell out his name. You: "Noah! Stop!!"

He keeps pushing his way thru the crowd of people and you tell yourself that you really need to stop coming to these parties. You: "What is your problem?"

He turns back and you come face to face with all of his anger. Noah: "My problem? MY PROBLEM??"

You immediately regret pushing as you feel tears well up in your eyes. You bite the inside of your cheek trying to fight the tears because you refuse to cry in front of him.

Noah: "You are so damn frustrating, Y/N"

You: "ME? I'M FRUSTRATING?? THAT'S RICH COMING FROM YOU. I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO DESERVE HOW YOU'RE TREATING ME!"

Noah can't even get a word out to argue back as you shout at him and waiting for his response hurts so badly that the tears start to spill over.

You: "The only thing I've ever done is talk to Blake"

Noah: "That's the dumbest thing you've ever done so to prove a point you're just going to makeout with him again?"

You: "It's just a damn game! Why do you even care?"

You are screaming and everyone is watching at this point and you can't control the tears that are pouring down your face

Noah: "I give up!"

He throws his hands up and brings them to your face. He pulls your lips to his and shuts you up with a kiss. You forget that you're in a crowded room filled with dozens of your closest friends and just completely liquify in Noah's arms. Time stopped the moment his lips collided with yours. Your knees felt like they were going to give out. His kiss grew hungry and intense as if he'd waited his whole life for this moment.

It was so much more than the kiss you shared during a stupid party game weeks ago, because this time he was admitting to everyone including you and himself that he wanted it. He wanted you. Realizing this moment wasn't in your imagination, you tighten your fists around the bottom of his shirt and pull him close to you while everyone watches in shock.
