After The Kissing Booth

Christmas (part 1)

"I can go get Noah if you want." I tell June as she try's to figure out her schedule for tomorrow which is Christmas Eve Eve.
June laughs. "I know you're going to come with me no matter what, so you might as well just pick him up yourself."

"Yes." I say in my head. It's only been 2 weeks since Noah has left, but that doesn't mean I can't miss him like crazy.

"But when you go, remember you're going to be in public, so don't do to much." Lee jokes.
"Leeeee." I moan.
"Just making sure you know." Lee says as June laughs.

I just give him a face and get back to helping June with organizing tomorrow and the next couple of days.

"Okay so we need to get two guest rooms ready." June says as she flips through her papers.

You know you're rich when you have more then two guest rooms.

"Okay, for who again?" I say writing down 'get two guest rooms ready' on my notepad.

Since I've been living at the Flynn's for almost a month, I'm helping June a lot with Christmas. It's my payback for June letting me stay here for so long, even thought June says she loves having me here, I'm sure I can get annoying once in a while.

"Room one is for Aunt Jill, Uncle John and there 2 kids. It's the room with the one bed and the pull out couch." June says as she reads off her paper.
"K." I say marking down which room it is.
"And room two is for Grandma Edith and Grandpa Albert, other known as my parents." June says.
"Okay, are Bill's parents coming down?" I ask.

In case you didn't know, Bill is Lee's, and Noah's dad.

"Oh yes, scratch that we will need three guest bedrooms ready." June says in a stressed tone.
"No you won't, remember dad said that grandma and grandpa are staying at a hotel because they don't want to bother us with more people." Lee says.
"Oh yes, never mind, still only two guest bedrooms." Says June.

That night I'm wrapped in the blankets looking through my phone as I get the conformation code for the tickets for the final playoffs game. I decided to get the tickets even if the Rams don't get to the playoffs because I know Noah will still enjoy it. But I'm pretty sure the Rams will make it because they're still doing really good.

...

"Okay, I'm going to pick up Noah now, anything you need me to pick up from the store on the way back?" I ask June as I grab my purse.
"Not that I can't think of, I'll text you if anything comes to mind." June says still focused on her paper.
"Okay, see you." I say closing the door behind me.

I'm standing in the airport waiting for Noah to come when I see a familiar face. Rachel? What's she doing here?

"Oh hey Elle, what are you doing here?" Rachel says as she notices me.
"Waiting for my boyfriend." I say making it obvious.
"Oh yeah, Noah and you are still together, what a surprise." Rachel says fake smiling.

I spot Noah coming down the escalator and I smile. Noah cracks me a smile and as soon as he gets down we both race to each other. Noah picks me up and kisses me softly.

"I missed you." I say.
"I miss this." I say again.

Rachel glares at us the whole time.

"Is there something we can help you with?" Noah asks Rachel as he puts me down.
"Oh, what no." Rachel says shaking her head.
"Why are you even here?" Noah says in a kind of rude tone.
"I was just wanting to talk to you Noah, because I didn't think Elle would be here, but I'll just talk to you tomorrow." Rachel says turning around.
"What every you had to say before you can say now Rachel." I say grabbing her shoulder.
"Well I would rather not say it in front of you Elle." Rachel says biting her lip.
"Then you won't say it to me either." Noah says grabbing my dad and bringing me with him.

When we get into the car Noah asks. "What was that?"
"I don't even know." I say shrugging my shoulders.

When we get home June greats Noah with a hug and we go up to his/our room.

"Have you been talking to Rachel?" I ask Noah as soon as he closes the door.
"What? No." Noah says instantly.

I just stay silent not knowing what to say.

"I was going to give this to you for Christmas, but I think I need to give it to you now." Noah says reaching into his bag.
"O-okay?" I say confused.

Noah pulls out a small red box. A box that usually has a ring in it. But he's not asking me to marry him. I'm only 17, you would have to get my dad consult, and I doubt he talked to my dad.

"Wh-what?" I stutter.
"Rochelle Evans, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but we're to young to get married, but, I promise to never leave your side, or you, I want to be with you forever, so until we can get married, I want to give you a promise ring." Noah says opening the box.

I just burst into tears of happiness as I jump into his arms.

"I love you." I say kissing him.
"I love you more." Noah says.

Noah puts the ring on my finger. It's silver, with a diamond, which I doubt is real, but it's still beautiful, more then I would have ever asked for.
