The Moment

Chapter Twenty-One

I felt like all we ever did as party and every party ended up the same. But at least this way, I could see Noah. In all honestly, I hadn't really tried to go out of my way to see him...I was scared he'd shut the door in my face. The party was just getting started so it wasn't as crazy as it usually is but I couldn't help but dread the night as I sat there and watched Noah talk to Olivia. It didn't bother me before...but now, I wanted to rip her face off.

"Your jealousy is showing." Casey smirked, pausing our conversation.

"They're just friends." I explained, finishing off my drink. I wanted to believe that Noah wouldn't flirt with another girl in front of me...in my own house but Olivia, on the other hand...she's got no loyalties to me.

"Talk to him."

"You're drunk." I said, rolling my eyes. Heading into the kitchen, I grabbed two more drinks, tossing one over to Casey as she sat on the counter. Leaning my back on the counters across from her, I cracked open the drink.

"He said you guys were friends, so why can't you talk to him?"

"You know he was just saying that, he didn't mean it."

"Okay, and you didn't mean it when you said it was Tayler." Smirking as if she had just solved the world's most complicated murder, I couldn't help but laugh. It was so not the same thing but I loved her for trying.

Shaking my hand, I pushed myself away from the counter and began heading out of the kitchen, bumping into Tayler.

"You started early." He pointed out, looking at my drink. I usually don't go too hard at parties but today, I was definitely feeling a drink or two. Looking over his shoulder, I could see Noah looking past Olivia and right at me and I knew this was going to be my only chance.

"Noah, wait." I pleaded, following him through the crowd once again. "You never even asked me, you know that?" I shouted, once we had made it out from where everyone was gathering. We stood in the hallway of the upstairs and I just knew everyone was waiting for one of us to come storming out. "You just assumed, like everyone else, that it was Tayler! And even before the video, you never once asked me if anything happened between me and Tayler and if you were that curious about it, you should have. I don't know why you got yourself so worked up over this and I'm sorry that I was thrown in the middle of this and brought you with me but I haven't done anything wrong here. I just kept my mouth shut and I don't know why or when having privacy became a bad thing."

I stood still as I waited for a response. Downstairs was getting louder while you could hear a pin drop upstairs. His eyes stayed on mine as I searched for something within them but nothing I did could prepare me for what came next.

His lips pressed against mine, forcefully, as he took hold of my waist, pushing me up against the wall. I honestly didn't really know how to react. Sure, I've wanted this for so long now but I just didn't expect it to happen right this second. Deciding to take the lead, I broke the kiss, looking into his eyes and I knew we both knew exactly where this was going. Opening the first door I saw, I pulled him into the room, closing the door behind him, before pushing him onto the bed. Sliding my hands underneath his shirt, I connected our lips once again, deepening the kiss. Pushing the straps of my romper off my shoulders, I allowed the outfit to fall completely off my body before I parted our lips to remove his shirt. Playing with the button of his pants, I looked at him and I knew he wanted to say something but if I'm being honest, this wasn't really a time for talking.

"I'm-"

"Shut up." I said, cutting him off. Unbuttoning his jeans, I pulled them off him before climbing on top of him and kissing him once again. He wrapped his hands around my body, unclipping my bra as they traveled further down, resting on my hips. Flipping us over so he was now in charge, I couldn't help but think to myself,

He might be a quiet one outside but inside the bedroom, he might just know what he's doing.
