I woke up tired from a restless night. Then the thought of last night invaded my head as I realized that Emerson must be sleeping in the couch.
I stood up quickly and went to find him. But when I got out Of my room I felt disappointed when he wasn't there.
The blanket that I covered him with  was finely folded on the couch. The glass of water was empty on the coffee table and the pills were gone.
As I got closer, I found a note on the top of the blanket that said

THANK YOU

He must've left early, why didn't he say anything? Why didn't he woke me up? Was he mad about yesterday? Maybe he didn't remember the kiss? He was plastered.

I looked at the clock and It was almost noon. And Noah was coming any minute now.
I started to panic.
There was no time for me to shower, so I just went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, applied a little make up, deodorant and some perfume. I changed to some
Jeans, a cute sleeveless T-shirt and sneakers.

It was 12:15 and Noah hadn't arrived yet. I started to put some snacks into bowls when I heard a knock on my door.

I fixed my hair a little, check my teeth on the mirror and then opened the door to find Emerson.

As I looked into his face and into his lips I couldn't help but to remember the kiss I gave him last night.

"Earth to Andy" he said, I was biting my lip thinking about him
"Sorry what's up?" I said shaking my head.
Then I saw Noah standing on the back of Emerson
"This guy is looking for you, he was knocking on my door" he said with a serious expression. His blue eyes penetrating mine.

Oh god I forgot to tell Noah the right number of my apartment

"Hi Andy" Noah said shyly, he was holding his computer in one hand and a cup of coffee on the other.

"I brought you a coffee from that place you like" Noah said sweetly.
I could see Emerson disgusted eyes
"Thanks Noah, that's so thoughtful" I said as I moved from the door for him to get inside of my home.
"This is my neighbor Emerson, Emerson this is Noah" I said.
Emerson looked a the guy with cold eyes and a clenched jaw.
"Yeah we already met" Emerson said
"Isn't this the guy that send you some food and you end up throwing up at 2 in the morning?" He said with a smirk.
Omg please tell me he didn't just say that
My eyes widened in surprise, Noah's face was shocked and Emerson was smiling.
I was so embarrassed.
"No that's not true, Emerson" I said giving him a hateful stare.
Noah came in, left his computer and handed me my coffee.
"Thanks Noah I so much needed a coffee today" I said
"Why? You didn't sleep well?" Emerson asked with a smirk, referring about last night.
"No, actually I didn't sleep at all" I said madly.
"And what are you guys up to today" Emerson said changing the subject.
"Noah is helping me set up a website to offer my services as a designer, so I can get some free lance job" I said.
"That's cool" he said coldly
"Thanks for pointing Noah in the right direction Emerson, I'll see you later" I said to him trying for him to leave my apartment.

"Andrea, Can I speak to you on the hall?" He said, why was he calling me Andrea again
We went to the hall, Me grinding my teeth.
What the hell did he wanted now?
I let the door slightly open and wait for him impatiently for what he was going to say.
"What is he doing here?" He asked whispering
"Is non of your business, but as I said he's helping me set up a website" I said.
"Andy, you barely know this guy, now you're letting him into your home?" He said, then added "I thought you were smarter that that" He looked at me with disappointing eyes, judging me.
And I stayed quiet as he made me feel stupid. I wanted to cry. I don't know why his words affected me so much. I should not care what he thinks. I am a grown woman and I can do whatever I want.
"Anyway" He said "Thank you for helping me last night"
"What happened to you?" I asked
"I just... I don't know actually I went to see some friends and last thing I know I woke up on your couch" he said.
"So you don't remember anything about last night?" I asked, hoping for him to say no.
"Vaguely" he affirmed, then he said
"Why? Did I say something to you?"
"No, just forget it" I said.
He didn't remember. I felt like I could breathe.
Emerson stood there with a confused expression as in trying to remember something about last night
"See you later Emerson" I turned nervously to open my door when I felt his hand in mine, he pulled my hand so I turned to him, and then he held my waist with both hands. I felt his minty breath right into my mouth and my body shivered,

"Andy, what happened last night?" He asked looking into my eyes
"NOTHING" I said firmly and I pushed him away.
I grabbed my food trying to get away from him.
"Bye Emerson"
"Bye Andy" he said and then he shouted "it was nice to meet you nick"
"It's Noah" I heard Noah yelling back at him.
And then I closed the door in his face, leaving him there with a confused expression.
