Thirty-seven
"Stay with me tonight."
"W-what?" I stuttered, looking at him in disbelief.
D-did I heard him right?
"Stay with me, Lexi." He repeated, tucking my hair behind my ear. "Please." I wasn't the one drunk here, but the way Noah was looking at me with his deep green eyes was enough to make me.
I blinked my eyes at him and shook my head, trying to clear the fog in it. The fact that I was laying over him, with our chest pressed together and his hand on my waist wasn't helping either.
"I-I..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say, I cleared my throat. "I don't think that's a good idea," I whispered, finally getting my voice back.
I put my hands on his chest trying to get up but was stopped as he tightened his grip on my waist. My heart was throbbing in my ears, I was afraid that it might explode any moment.
"Why?" He looked at me intensely. "Is it because of your boyfriend?" I could see agony written all over his face.
"No." I shook my head so fast that it was a miracle I didn't get whiplash. "It's not because of him."
I didn't like the way he called him my boyfriend. I wish I could have ended things with him tonight.
"Then what's the problem?" His thumb lightly creased my back from where my top gotten up, making me quiver. "Why can't you stay?"
"I..." My mind went blank. This was the first time I was tongue-tied in front of a boy, but again this is different.
"Don't you trust me, Lexi?"
"Of course I do, I just..." I whispered and moved a little to get off him, but in a swift motion, Noah flipped us on the bed with him in the top this time.
I gasped in surprise and my eyes grew big; I put my hands on his strong biceps and he put his forearm on either side of my face, leaning to them. I rubbed my thighs together between his legs. I was trapped between him and the bed.
Not that I mind...
My breath hitched as he leaned in until our noses touched. "You just what?"
I don't trust myself around you.
My entire body heat as I felt his muscular chest pressed against mine. I bit my lip and tried to control my stupid hormones, but it made it worse as Noah's gaze went to my lips.
I saw his Adam's apple bobbed as he continued to stare at my lips. My throat felt dry as my eyes darted to his. He stuck his tongue got out and licked his lower lip.
OMG, I'm in deep trouble!
He peeked at me through his lashes. His eyes looked darker than before. "Lexi..." He said in a hoarse voice making my entire body vibrate.
I swallowed hard, not being able to say anything as his face came closer. My eyes fluttered close, I felt his breath on my lips. Gripping his shoulders tightly and waited for him, the anticipation was killing me.
Are we really going to kiss?!
An electric shock ran down my spine when his lips slightly touched mine and before I could register it, he plopped his head in the crook of my neck. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling.
WTF was that?!
Did we kiss or peck?
Do touching lips lightly even call a peck?!
I came out of my train of thoughts when Noah moved his head in the crook of my neck. "I-I am sorry." He whispered in my ear, sending shivers through my entire body. "You d-don't have to s-stay if y-you don't want t-too." He sounded apprehensive.
I slid my hands from my shoulder to his hair and ran my fingers through them hugging him. "I'll stay," I whispered.
I could stay till he falls asleep. I didn't have any problem staying with him, but dad was at home and if I didn't get home, it'll be bad and I didn't want his parents to see us sleeping together in the morning. That'll be awkward.
He jolted up and looked at me with wide eyes. "You will?"
I smiled and creased his cheek with the back of my hand. "Of course."
"And can we cuddle?" I giggled, looking at his innocent face, and nodded. He beamed and got off me.
I turned to my right, Noah came behind me and put his arm over my waist pulling me towards his hard chest. I put my head on his arm as we spoon together.
Never in a million years had I imagined tonight to turn out like this. Noah interlinked our fingers and pulled me closer to him. I felt his breath on the nape of my neck and gulped.
"Good night Lexi." He whispered, dozing.
"Good night Noah," I replied and closed my eyes, trying to savor the moment while it lasts. I didn't know if I'll get a chance like this ever again.
After a few minutes, I felt Noah's breath getting even while I laid wide awake. I wanted to stay with him so much but it wasn't the option now. I slowly turned around and saw him asleep.
I traced his jaw with my forefinger and looked at his handsome face, then my eyes went to his lips. I was still confused about what happened earlier.
Should I call it a kiss or nothing?
I moved his blond locks from his forehead and pressed my lips against his ear. "Have sweet dreams, Noah. I'll be back before you wake up." I kissed his cheek.
Glancing at him one more time, I carefully took his arm off me. He tried to grab me back, but I put the pillow and he cuddled with it.
I smiled at him and got out of his house quietly, trying not to get caught by his parents.
* * * * *
When I reached my house, it was around one. I tried to be discreet and slowly went to my room. I sighed in relief when I reached my room without getting caught and was about to open the door when I flinched at my dad's voice.
"You are late." I squeezed my eyes and turned around, looking at my angry dad.
"I was at Kevin's party," I said, as a matter of fact, trying to calm my nerves.
"Shouldn't the party be over till now?" He folded his arms around his chest.
"Yes. That's why it took me long to come." He narrowed his eyes at me. "You know Kevin's get drunk at every party, I had to take care of him since he is my friend, right daddy?" I batted my eyelashes innocently at dad.
"How is he now?" He looked at me skeptically.
I pictured Kevin in my mind and what happened to him after every time he gets drunk.
"Vomiting his guts out." I gave dad a toothy grin.
He sighed. "Fine. Don't be this late next time or at least call. I was about to come to Kevin's."
"I'll call next time." I hesitated.
Thank God, he didn't come, or else I would have been in trouble.
He put a hand on my head and slide it down to my cheek. "Just be careful, Lexi. I don't want to see you get hurt-"
I cut him off by hugging him tightly. "I'm always careful, daddy." Plopping my chin on his chest, I gave him a grin. "It's not easy to hurt the great Lexi."
He chuckled and hugged me back. After a few minutes, he let go of me, kissing my head. I went inside my room and watched my dad go to his. I closed my door and blew a breath, leaning my back on it.
That was super close.
My phone ringed in my bag, making me frown. I took it out of my bag and saw it was Jax. Rolling my eyes, I switched it off, putting it back in my bag again, and threw it on my bean bag.
I am seriously not in the mood for his drunk calls.
I went to my bathroom and removed my makeup. I changed into my PJ's, I got ready for bed.
I laid wide awake thinking about Noah and his cuddles. I groaned and clutched my pillow, imagining it to be Noah, which by the way was not working.
I plopped on my back and stared at the ceiling; I sighed.
I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.
