╚»I love you. I'll wait for you.«╝
★-------- IT BEEN THREE DAYS since Stephanie has fainted, the four boys have been constantly at her call. Ever since the accident they didn't let her leave their sight, especially James. Lily and the girls have even been constantly making sure she was eating all her meals and getting her full eight hours of sleep.
It was the weekend which meant they were able to go to Hogsmeade, Stephanie wore a black long-sleeved turtleneck with a plaid dress on top of it. She clipped the front pieces of her bangs behind her head and left her hair loosely curled.
"Are you sure you want to go; we can just stay here and play chess in the great halls." Lily said as they were walking down the corridor.
"I'll be fine Lils, plus it would be nice to get some fresh air." Lily sighed as they walked closer to the exit.
"Where's the boys?" Marlene asked as they made it outside, the crisp autumn air greeted them. The orange and red leaves flew in the air because of the wind, Stephanie hugged herself as they stood among the crowd of students.
"They should be here somewhere." Stephanie looked around for the four boys but her eyes landed on the blond wavy hair boy.
Noah took notice of her as he whispered something into his friends' ear and walked towards her before stopping in front of her.
"Hey, I heard what happened. Are you okay?" Noah's face was arched with worried as he scanned her face.
Stephanie nodded as she fiddled with her fingers that were freshly painted a mocha brown by Peter who did it when she was still bedridden in the hospital wing.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to visit, I tried but there was limited visitors and your friends visited you every minute." Noah frowned; he wasn't lying. They almost visited her as much as madam Pomfrey allowed them, sometimes she had to drag James and Sirius out of there because they wouldn't leave her side.
Stephanie chuckled as she shook her head, "It's fine Noah." She smiled as he nodded.
"Well how about as an apology, I buy you butterbeer." Stephanie smirked as she crossed her arms.
"I would like that, let me just ask my friends." Stephanie bit her lip trying to hide the small smile that was forming on her face, she turned around to look at her friends. The three girls were huddled close together and were bobbing their heads excitedly. Stephanie felt her cheeks flush with a bright pink, she scrunched her noses as she turned around to Noah who was chuckling at the girls behind her.
Stephanie took his calloused hands that instantly warmed her cold skin that the wind left cold. Noah looked down at her in surprise by her action as she pulled him away from her friends. Stephanie kept her eyes on the ground trying to hide any form of flush in her face, neither of them had the guts to let go of each other. They both craved for each other warmness, not wanting to know how it was before they had a taste of their warmness.
Without realizing it they made it to the Three broomsticks, Noah opened the door letting Stephanie enter first. Stephanie gave him a soft smile as she entered inside, letting the smell of holiday spice engulf her.
"I'll go order, you can pick out a table." Noah said, Stephanie nodded as they split ways. There were a couple people there but it was mostly empty so it was easy for Stephanie to find a table. Stephanie pulled out the chair and sat down as she played with the sleeves of her turtleneck; it didn't take much time till Noah came back with the two butterbeer.
Noah handed her one of the butterbeers as he sat down, Stephanie said a soft thank you as she took it from his hands. Her mouth touched the glass as the warm liquid slide down her throat, she pulled away from the glass as the taste of the butterscotch consumed her taste buds.
She looked up and her eyes were met with blue eyes that were watching her with amusement, she raised her eyebrow playfully noticing the small smile that was dancing on his face, "What?" She asked as she placed the cup down on the wooden table.
He also placed his glass down as he leaned forward and motioned to the corner of his mouth, "You got something-" He moved his finger away from his face and onto the corner of her mouth. Stephanie eyes widen as she realized what he was doing, Noah kept his eyes on her brown ones as he swiped the whipped cream off her face.
Stephanie was so focused on the blue eyes in front of her that she didn't even realize the hazel ones watching her.
