The Kissing Booth Why Now?

92. NOT FUNNY *

I start hitting their back when I hear "WHAT THE HELL?  GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF MY GIRL."  "Dude calm down I was just teasing?"    "Yeah, and I told you I don't like guys touching my girl."  Since he hadn't put me down I looked up and smirked and heard the guys groan "uh oh."  I kicked out and right in the family jewels.  The good thing was we were close to Eddie and he jumped up and caught me as the ass went down.  Eddie put me down and let me go fast raising his hands "dude I was just trying to make sure Evans didn't get hurt."  Noah chuckles "everything is fine Eddie thanks for saving my girl.  Now my roomie Justin here is lucky she racked him or else he would have a broken nose."  He strides over to me lifting me in his arms cradling me into his chest.  "Hey, Shelly baby.  I missed you."  "I missed you too Noah.  I love you."  "I love you too.  Now I need to put you down and go sign out you, dork and Carl."  Everyone cracked up laughing "damn Lee your bro won't even call you by your name."

I watched Noah walk away and Justin came up to me "look sorry I just wanted to see what Noah and you would do."  I glared at him "leave me alone."  I snuggled into Lee and he wrapped his arms around me "you OK Twin?"  "Yeah, but right now I want to break his nose myself." It wasn't long before Noah came out again and told us let's go.  We all took off Lee climbing into his car with Justin since Noah told him he was not going to allow him to ride with me right now.  Carl took off yelling he would meet us at home and it wasn't long before the five of us were driving down the street heading to the house.  As for my cousins, their parents didn't know that Noah was pulling me out of class so they were still at school.  I felt sorry for them but Noah was not listed as someone that could sign them out so they had to stay behind.  As we walked into the house my Aunt asked "oh, you kids are already out of school."  June laughs "no, sorry we forgot to tell you when Noah comes home he will go and sign out Elle, Lee, and Carl if it is a half-day."  I smile "yeah we only have to stay till third period so the school gets credit for us being there."

"Ah, OK why didn't you get your cousins Elle."  "Oh, I can't sign them out.  It has to be someone that is eighteen and you have to give them permission.  If you tell the school Noah can sign them out the next time he picks us up early."  My Aunt smirked, "let's go."  She and my Uncle took off and it wasn't long before they showed up with my cousins and they smiled at me "thanks Elle next time Noah picks you all up early he can sign us out as well."  I grin "great."  Since it was the start of our Christmas break we all took off to the arcade and started playing all our games.  We were having a blast and I couldn't be happier.  I was nervous every time Noah's roommate Justin came near me.  I would cling to either Noah or Lee and at one point Carl got in his face "dude back the fuck off."  "I am just trying to get to know her."  Yeah but you put your hands on her when she barely even knows you so back off you are making her uncomfortable."  Noah spun around "are you still at it dude?"

"Look I am sorry.  I really didn't think it was that big of a deal."  "Well, after everything she has been through you didn't think it was that big of a deal."  "OK, I thought she was past that."  "She is moving past it but dude she still doesn't like people touching her that she doesn't know."  "OK calm down no harm no foul."  Carl spun around "REALLY DUDE.  SHE WAS ALMOST FUCKING KIDNAPPED TO BE FORCED INTO MARRIAGE IN A FUCKING CULT.  SHE WAS GOING TO BE FORCED TO HAVE SEX WITH ANY MAN THAT WANTED HER."  Lois showed up and wrapped her arms around him "calm down baby.  Your future cousin-in-law is fine.  We all kept her safe.  She is still with us."  Carl nodded and held her close "just the thought of one of you girls in that life..."  "I know baby."  Carl looks at Becs since she came in with Patrice and Lois "sorry Becs."  "Carl don't worry about it.  Remember I told you I didn't have it as bad as some of the other girls.  I am lucky I hadn't turned eighteen yet when you all took down the cult.  I was still untouched.  The one good rule they had was no sex until the individual was eighteen."
