A Little Bit Closer

Chapter 3

You wake up the next morning and notice Noah's warm arms hugging you tightly. You don't want to wake him up, so you just lay there on top of him, hugging him. 20 minutes later, Noah wakes up from his deep sleep. He notices how you are both hugging tightly and gives you an extra hug before saying good morning. You look up at him and you both smile. You get up and fold the blanket you guys were using and start heading downstairs. You pour 2 glasses of orange juice as Noah is coming down stairs to the kitchen. "Pancakes?" Noah asks you. "Yes!!" you respond, knowing that pancakes are your favorite. Noah grabs the ingredients and starts getting everything ready. You grab a few things and you guys begin making breakfast. As Noah is opening the bag of flour, it busts and goes all over the kitchen. You both break into giggles as you are both covered in the white powder. You pick up some off of the floor and rub it all over Noah's face. "HEY!" he says running after you. He throws a handful at you and hits you in the back. He starts laughing uncontrollably and you pick up some more and put it all in his hair. A few minutes later, Noah gets a text from his mom saying she'll be home in about an hour. "CRAP" he screams. You get a confused look on your face and he lets you read the message. "Uh oh" you reply. You both quickly start running all over the house trying to clean up before his mom gets home.
