It Had To Be You

Chapter 15: Togetherness

Noella's POV

His green eyes were looking into my dark brown ones, as he held me close.

It was just him and I, under the pouring rain, and my heartbeat was picking up it's pace. He was holding me close to him with one hand around my waist and the other cupping one of my cheeks.

My lips were trembling, not sure whether it was because I was feeling cold as we were completely drenched in the rain, or whether it was because of the closeness we shared.

I slightly bit the corner of my lower lips, as I was feeling this strong urge to kiss him like there is no tomorrow and I could see the same lust swimming in his eyes. "Don't do that." His voice came out in a quiet whisper.

It was so arousing to me, it just made me bite it harder this time. "Fuck Noella, what are you doing to me?" It was almost like he was begging me to stop. But my body decided to do the opposite.

My gaze fell on his perfectly crafted lips and was again pulled up to look into eyes.

Suddenly I heard a faint sound coming from far, a sound very familiar to my ringtone. As I paid more attention to it, the more it got loud. Within mere moments, it was making my ears bleed.

I woke up with a sudden jerk. It felt as if I was becoming breathless. 'What in the hell was that dream!' I rubbed my forehead sighing, but the stupid smile refused to leave my lips.

I was again brought back to reality with my phone's ringtone. I groaned in frustration and took a look at it. It was Juliette.

Why in the hell was she calling me at 7 in the morning, that too on a holiday?

"Yeah?" I answered in a groggy tone. I am telling you there is no peace in my life.

"Bitch you are still sleeping?" She yelled through the phone, which made me draw it back from my ears.

"Get your ass up and open the door." She continued. What? Answer the door?

"Why?" I replied, lazily rubbing my eyes.

"Because we are standing outside your house. Duh! Now open the damn door." She yelled again. I heard someone saying to her not to yell.

I went downstairs, yawning, and opened the door. Juliette was standing there with a huge grin plastered on her face and Eric and Spencer were sitting on the porch, resting their heads with closed eyes, on the either side of the wooden railings.

The sight made me giggle a little. It was very funny to see both of them in such a state.

"It's 7 in the morning Jules. And what's up with these two? It looks like someone dragged them to their death."

"They were. By me. And we need to get going. It's a 5 hour ride to the beach house. It's going to take us longer because of the traffic. And you are not ready yet. Great. Just great." She stormed in angrily and took a seat on the couch. But I somehow found the whole situation very amusing.

I went out and tapped on the shoulders of both the boys. But they didn't budge. I took this chance to steal a glance at Spencer. He was hugging the railing and sleeping like a baby. I smiled looking at his cuteness. I could get used to waking up to this sight every morning.

"Are done gawking at him?" Juliette's voice came from behind, making me jump slightly. I frowned a little at her.

"Oh come on. You have got a whole weekend to gawk at him. Now help me wake these idiots up." She said, shaking her head.
