Noah's POV

''Why didn't you pick up your phone!'' Brett asked angrily as I came back home after the night at Elliot's.

''Chill, I was with your brother'' I told him and tried to ignore his clearly angry expression.

''I know, I had to call my dad since you and Elliot didn't care to answer me. Do you know how worried I was?'' Brett asked me, raising his voice.

''Why? You're not my dad!'' I yelled at him, he was visibly turning angrier but I didn't care. Who does he think he is, just because I live here doesn't mean he's responsible if anything happened to me. It's not like he's even that much older than me, he shouldn't act like he is, it is so frustrating. 

I was done with this conversation, I just wanted to go to my room and that's exactly what I tried to.

''Don't try to walk away when we're talking!'' Brett said strictly. ''You can be angry or sad or disappointed or whatever you are for some reason, but I don't tolerate that you're trying to ignore me'' he said and grabbed my arm as I tried to move past him.

''Move!'' I yelled and tried to push him away. Not that it really helped much, he didn't really move anywhere and was still standing in place.

I rolled my eyes and I guess that didn't sit well with him. He moved past me to put on my shoes.

''Where are you going?'' I asked him.

''Out!'' he said and slammed the door after him as he left me.

Brett's POV

I called my dad and unlike Noah and Elliot he picked up straight away.

''Hi son, did Noah find his way home?'' he asked. 

''Yeah, meet me at the gym. I have some steam to release'' I said and he agreed to meet me before we hung up. 

I was hitting the punching bag while dad was standing behind it and making sure it didn't go in all different directions. I was so mad! 

''Tell me, son. What's going on at the flat'' I exhaled and took off my gloves to drink some water.

''Dad, I'm so confused. One moment it seemed to be going so well with Noah, and suddenly yesterday he just left the flat and when I tried to call him and text him he ignored me. Even Elliot ignored my calls, which he never does, so I'm sure Noah told him to''

''Well, he obviously had a reason to leave just like that, what happened before he left?''

''I don't know, I just came home and he sat on the sofa and I introduced him to a girl''

''A girl, why did you bring a girl home when you like him?''

Argh, I'm so stupid. Jesus, it was obviously because of Alice. Shit! I used the girl to relieve myself, hopefully not the worst way to put it. I don't want to pressure Noah to do anything further. I was barely brave enough to kiss his cheek, afraid that he will push me away. Imagine I suggest we take it even further. I don't even think he has lost his virginity yet. 

***

I came home, seeing Noah sitting on the sofa watching tv and drinking wine.

''Can I join'' I asked reluctantly. Not really sure if he really wanted to see me right now.

Noah didn't reply just levitated his hand over the sofa showing that there was enough room to sit. 

''I'll be right back, I just have to change and take a quick shower'' Noah once again didn't say anything which was annoying, but I get it. 

Once I finished with my shower I put on some black shorts and a white tank top. Noah didn't even turn around when he heard me coming. He was just sipping his wine and watching the movie like I wasn't even there.

I sat down right beside him and I guess he was still angry since even though he didn't move further away, he didn't acknowledge that I had just sat down right beside him. 

''I'm sorry'' I said and looked at him. To my surprise, he actually turned towards me and looked into my eyes.

''Sorry that I was so angry at you because you didn't answer the phone. I understand that you have your own life, but I hope you understand that I get worried when I can't reach you and you haven't even told me you have left.'' I said calmly and put my hand on his knee.

It was quiet for a moment until Noah placed his smaller hand on top of my hand that was still resting on his knee.

''It's ok, I guess I overacted, I'm sorry too'' Noah said and without really think about it I moved closer and kissed his lips. 

Noah seemed shocked as he moved away.

''Shit, Noah sorry. I don't know what came over me'' I said and was about to leave, but he grabbed my arm.

''It's fine, I was just startled, nothing more than that'' he said and gave me a reassuring smile, which right now was highly appreciated. 

I sat back down and he moved closer, to my surprise and suddenly his lips were on mine. 

The kiss was nice but it went quickly and suddenly the kiss started to get more passionate. Noah came closer until he sat on my lap, his hands were cupping my face and my hands were holding onto his waist as we continued making out. 

''Wait Noah, we need to stop!'' I said and ended the kiss

''What, why?'' Noah asked and seemed sad by it. I must be crazy to stop this amazing feeling I was having.

''You've been drinking, I don't want it to be awkward tomorrow when you wake up and remember what happened. I of course want to continue, but I won't do it as long as I know that you've been drinking.''

Noah didn't seem very happy about it, he moved his head down to look at my lap that he was currently straddling, but he was cute when he acted like this. I kissed his head and took my arms around him to pull him closer. Just leaving him hugging around my body as I was holding him as we continued to watch the movie until we both fell asleep on the sofa.
