Trouble | Noah Beck

T W E N T Y

the game was coming to an end, and both teams were tied . the only way we could win is if vinnie makes this last field goal.

the crowd was practically on the edge of their seats. he looked up to the bleachers, spotting you and sending you a wink as you waved.

you look at noah he looked pissed . but you ignored it .

vinnie , kicked the ball.. it shot up into the air, the anticipation building as it made it in right through the middle.

everyone stood up to cheer including yourself, the players huddling and jumping on the field.

you and Athena both run down the bleachers, onto the grass as you waited for Blake and Vinnie.

"hey baby" says Blake to Athena, she jumps into his arms as they kiss .

you see vinnie come out and you walk over to him . he smiles at you as he walked out with grass stains on his jersey and the black lines he had on his face smearing from sweat .

you hug him, "you did it" you say sending him a big grin.

"i told you a pretty face like yours would help me win" he says lifting your face up with the tip of his pointer finger. he slightly moves his face closer to yours .

you giggle, leaning into his kiss . both of your lips molded together as you felt everything fall silent.

you pulled away, smirking as you did so. "was winning worth it?" you ask with your foreheads touching .

"definitely" he says pulling you back in and smashing his lips against yours once again .

Noah's POV

i come out of the locker room and see everyone standing outside. i look over and see vinnie and denali together, she hugged him, and then kissed him.

i feel my heart sink, i feel a pair of arms wrap around me.
"hi babyyyy" it was marilyn. you roll your eyes .

"lets go" isay still looking at them.

she catches eye of what was bothering you, "just ignore them, the little skank will get whats coming for her" she says.

"dont call her that" i say.

she scoffs turning around, "if you wanna keep her safe, go along with what i say... you're a pretty shitty boyfriend" if only denali knew the truth about everything .

Denali's POV

i feel noahs eyes burning through my back before marilyn goes out to distract him, he looks unhappy... and it fucking sucks that i cant help him . he did this to himself.

vinnie placed his arm around you, "you want to go eat something?" he asks walking you out the field .

"i-um.." you say unsure, turning back to look at noah, it hurt your heart .

"is that a yes?? or n-"

"oh uhm.. yes of course" you reply nodding your head quickly .

he takes notice , "is everything good?" he says stopping.

"yeah, just.. hungry" you say smiling slightly.

he nods returning his arm back around you.

you arrive at his car, he had a black Dodge Challenger .

he opens your door, walking over to his side shortly afterwards.

you get into the passenger seat, the scent of leather hitting you strongly . it was your favorite smell .

he gets into the drivers seat, smirking as he did so. you insisted on going to a fast food place , but he decided to take you to a fancy italian restaurant .

"you know we can just go through a drive thru or someth-"

"nooooo, im not getting you some greasy, soggy, disgusting burger" he says shaking his head chuckling.

you giggle, "you didn't have to come for them like that" you say laughing.

you both laugh it off as he pulled up at the restaurant, 'L'ULTIMA CENA' you've eaten here once in your life, you only got a small appetizer and that was enough to get the bill up to 80 dollars.

you swore never again.

"ready?" he says unbuckling his seat belt, looking over at you.

you nod, "lets go" you say fixing yourself up while looking in the visor mirror.

he watched as you ran your fingers through your hair, and as you put on your lip moisturizer, "you look beautiful denali, c'mon" he says opening his door.

you feel yourself heat up at the small but effective compliment he gave you.

he opens your door, reaching out his arm for you to grab onto his hand.

you touch his warm palm as you slowly get out .

you trip on the curb, he quicky grabs you by your waist before you could hit the floor.

"i-im sorry, im just clumsy" you say as you awkwardly pulled away from him.

"your saying sorry for falling?" he says chuckling.

"oh uhm, right.. i-i dont know" you say chewing on your bottom lip .

he shakes his head laughing, "c'mon klutz" . you smile at the little name.

he grabs your hand as you both walked inside, theyre were many couples seated, having little dinner dates.. but you didn't even know if you considered you and vinnie on a date, or if you were just going to eat.

"table for 2 please" he says to the elderly lady standing in the front. she smiles looking at you both.

"what a beautiful young lady you have yourself" she says to vinnie while grabbing to menus off the shelf.

you feel your face go bright red, "thank you" he replies looking over at you.

why did he go along with it? does he think we're on a date? are we?

"come this way" she says leading you both to a dim booth, she sets down the two menus on opposite sides, holding out her arm, signaling for you two to sit down.

"thank you" you and vinnie both say in unison. you take a seat, right across from him.

"we're are both not dressed well enough for this place" you say looking around.

he laughs, "who cares, let them judge." he says smiling.

you open the menu, looking through everything, your eyes instantly going to the prices.

"i'll just get an appetizer or something smal-"

"if i invited you to eat, why would i make you get sOmeThIng sMaLL?" he says raising a brow.

"i dont want to make you spend a lot of mon-"

"dont worry about that denali" he says.

you feel butterflies rush through you, he's so sweet.

you smile, nodding as you did so.

~time skip~

you both finished up eating, "why did you go along with it? with what the lady said?" you ask.

"i didnt want to have to explain that we were just friends and it have to be awkward" he says shrugging his shoulders.

you giggle, "would you.... you know... consider this-"

"a date? yeah." he interrupts putting his hand on yours.

you blush, "great" you reply as you slowly rubbed your thumb on his hand.
