Kissing Booth: Another Take

Chapter 19

AN: Hi Everyone! Apologies for the delay on this chapter. Work was very busy and stressful the past couple weeks and this weekend was kind of a personal whirlwind. Without further ado!

Noah's POV

The party was in full swing and it seemed like the guest list expanded when news that 'Flynn' was in town with two very attractive friends. I saw Elle roll her eyes every time one of my old make out buddies walked through the front door and made a bee line to me like they had some claim to me.

There were some varying ways I was handling it. Some of the girls I would introduce to Jake instead and quietly exit. Sometimes I would have an arm around Chloe and it was enough to deter them though it would just result in them talking about the new model I was dating. Elle didn't seem to mind.

Eventually though, after the 9th or 10th girl, when I was kicking myself for letting my tongue be so impartial in high school, I was sick of it. I just wanted to hang out with my friends, my girlfriend, and her friends without having to have some girl whose name I never remembered all over me. I felt like I couldn't even get a buzz on when all the interruptions.

"This is really your fault you know," Chloe said from next to me, sipping her drink. This was probably the 4th drink I'd seen Chloe with so I was pretty sure she was getting pretty drunk.

"I know," I groaned pinching the bridge of my nose. "I know."

I had met some girls from Elle's soccer team. I had never made out with them thankfully, and they were actually some really cool girls. They were super happy that Elle worked things out with me and had appropriately threatened my private parts if I messed up again.

Some of those girls were currently standing on the kitchen island dancing with Elle and Rachel. Both of whom were definitely buzzed. Elle was strutting around to some girl power song on her playlist that I didn't recognize. Lee leaned on the counter keeping an eye on a Rachel dancing with the goalie from Elle's soccer team. Jake was laughing enjoying the show with Tuppen and some other guys and Chloe shook her head.

"Only the most confident of girls could do that like Elle's doing it," she laughed as Elle lip synced to the song, bending her knees drop her booty, one arm up in the air as she whipped her pony tail around, bouncing on her toes. Some of the guys hollered at the move and I heard Tuppen give a warning, "Easy, fellas, Evans is off limits."

I made eye contact and gave him a look of thanks. Tuppen just shrugged.

A lot of the guys just looked at Tuppen confused. Elle and I hadn't really been providing with the crowd with much PDA tonight. We both were kind of just hanging out with everyone we could; only exchanging kisses here and there. Therefore, no one had any idea we were back together. Everyone just assumed Flynn was there for spring break with his buddies.

I saw another girl coming up to me, giving me her best bedroom eyes.

"No," I said breaking eye contact. "Save me," I mumbled to Chloe.

Chloe just laughed. "You know what Flynn I think you're on your own with this one," she said walking away to hang with Jake.

"Fuck wait no," I reached out to her hopelessly. I could see my brother laughing at my desperation across the way.

"Hey Flynn," a raven-haired girl said coming up to me.

"Hi," I said flatly with a stiff smile. I noticed the crowd around the kitchen island I was leaning against was getting tighter. Elle, Rachel and some of the soccer girls had put spouts on some of the liquor bottles and were pouring shots in people's mouths.
