Chapter 5 5

• "Has she asked you about it?"
• He shakes his head "Knowing her, she probably wants to hear it from the horses mouth. Not that I'll tell her any time soon because as I mentioned, she has a girlfriend"
• "Do you think they'll last?"
• "You never know with Winnie" He shrugs "I guess I'll just have to wait and see"
• All this sad talk makes me sad too so I ruffle his hair to cheer him up. It works because he ends up laughing and then so do I "Shit, we've only ever had 2 conversation and I'm already telling you about my life problems" He jokes.
• I grin shoving him playfully "I don't mind at all, Mr Lawyer. I happen to look forward to many more conversations with you"
• "Babe?"
• I look behind me to see Noah. I smile at the sight. He comes next to me and kisses my temple "Oh hey"
• "Hey?" It comes out as more of a question because he looks confused as to why I'm walking with Nico. "Are you busy?"
• "No, we were just wrapping up our conversation" Nico answers for me "I'll see you later?"
• "Wait" I call our before he can walk away "I have to introduce you guys. Noah, this is Nick he's my friend. Nick, this is my boyfriend Noah"
• They do that bro hug thingie but it feels forced as they both mutter a "Nice to meet you man"
• "Okay bye" Nick waves at us before he walk away
• "Your friend? Why don't I know him?" Noah doesn't even waste time before bombarding me with questions.
• "He's the one that helped me get a place"
• "Oh so Kyle's friend. I don't know how I feel about you hanging out with his circle" He tells me running a hand through his hair
• He's annoyed.
• "Nick's a good guy" I defend.
• He shakes his head but doesn't say anything further about the topic "How have you been? You good?"
• I shrug "I've been better"
• "Wanna go get a table at Kristy's?"
• Kristy's is a cafe on campus that's like everyone's lunch spot.
• I nod, happy just thinking about those delicious lattes and muffins. I'm gonna get a big choc-chip one.
• We walk there hand in hand and take our seats before placing our orders.
• "So what's wrong, babe?"
• I guess know is the perfect time to tell him.
• "I don't know, Noah... Am I annoying?"
• He furrows his eyebrows in confusion "What? What are you talking about?"
• "I just feel like since the semester started, you'd rather do anything than spend time with me. Which must mean I'm annoying you, right?" I frown playing with my fingers.
• He takes my chin is his hand and forces me to look at him "Listen. I love you, okay. I've just been busy. You know Medicine is not an easy course so I have to go the extra mile. I will really try by best to spend as much time with you from now on. I promise"
• "Okay" I trail off
• "You should've told me that's how you felt, baby" He almost scolds "You're anything but annoying, okay? Well except when you rub it in my face when Man United lose"
• I can't help but giggle at that "Yeah... good times"
• He smiles because he can see that I feel much better now "Can I get a kiss?"
• I grin sliding to his side of the booth before pressing my lips against his soft ones. I love this boy, I really do.
• We've been together for almost a year now. I wonder what he's gonna do for our one year anniversary. I can't wait to find out. I think I know what I want to do. I think I want to give it to him. My V card.
• Oh I know what you're thinking. "Oh my gosh, Chelsea, you're freaking 19 and you've been with this boy for almost a year and you're still a virgin?" Well yes I am. I just haven't felt ready yet but I probably will on our anniversary. We've done everything else, just except the intercourse part. I thank God that he's been very patient with me.
• He is my first real boyfriend. In high school I had a few but it was never that serious. I didn't want to get in too deep with them because my mom would find out and that wouldn't be good for anyone. She is very over protective. I'd have to sneak out in order to go to parties or on a date with a current boyfriend. It was all just too much effort really.
• And then I got here; to college and I had freedom like no other. Luckily I found Noah very easily and quite soon so I didn't have to go through these other college jerks. I freely went to parties without sneaking out. I met Kat, who made me do the craziest things. Overall, I've just been having a lot of fun.
• I just hope it remains like this. Fun and most importantly... simple. I love simple. Just me, my best friend and my boyfriend taking on the world.
• Forever.
• But something... something tells me I should brace myself because my entire world is about to change.
• Forever.
• ***
• "Yes, mom, I've been studying regularly" I sigh into the phone.
• "And you've been behaving, right?" She asks worriedly. She honestly worries too much. She'll age quicker than she would like.
• I nod but I know she can't see me "Yes, I have mom"
• "Okay, baby" She sounds happy and relived. Oh... if only she knew "I miss you, okay. You should call me more often"
• I can't help but feel guilty when she says that. I really should. As much as she's overbearing, she's my mom and has my best interest at heart "I miss you too, mommy. And I promise I will"
• "Don't you think I should come and visit sometime soon?" She asks and my eyes widen.
• Bad idea.
• "Noooo" I shout almost immediately but I clear my throat to cover up my suspicion response "I mean, its almost exams and I probably won't have that much time to spend with you"
• I can hear her sighing "You're right sweetie"
• Thank goodness
• "Yeah. We'll speak later, mom"
• We bid our final goodbyes before hanging up
• the phone. I scroll through the different TV channels but find nothing interesting. I sigh before playing Candy Crush on my phone.
• "So you still haven't told the old lady you got kicked out?" Kyle asks. I look behind me to see him by the corridor leading to the kitchen and TV room. Has he been listening the whole time?
• "Okay, you should seriously stop eavesdropping on my phone conversations"
• I watch him walk to the couch and sit next to me "So how come you haven't told her?"
• He voluntarily wants to have a conversation with me? Well this is very interesting. I will remember this moment forever.
• "She'll kill me" I reply putting my phone down "No, she really will. Or she'll send me to another college"
• "So what are you gonna do when she suggests coming again?"
• I shrug "I'll cross that bridge when I get there"
• "Really? You don't look like the type who ever gets in trouble. How will you do that?" He asks sarcastically.
• "I-, I" I stutter helplessly and he raises an amused brow. I notice he has a scar on his left one. It makes him look... dangerous "I get in trouble, okay. Besides I'll just ask Kat to help me, she's good with these things"
• "How are you two even friends?" He asks, I can't really ever read expression but for once he actually looks quite curious "You guys are like polar opposites. She's loud, you're quite. She's bad, you're good"
• "I'm good?" I scoff, it sounds offensive when he says it "Who says I'm good. I've done bad things"
• "Yeah? Like what?" He challenges
• Think, Chels.
• "Uhh, I got kicked out of my dorm"
• "That was all because of your friend, remember?" He snorts provocatively "You did nothing."
• "Omg whatever" I roll my eyes defeated "We're friend because we love each other, okay?"
• "Whatever you say, Chelsea-Anne" He smirks. My name coming from his mouth sounds so exotic...
• "You know you can just call me Chelsea, right?"
• "I do know, Chelsea-Anne"
• I shake my head at the dumbass "Rude and annoying. I would love to know what girls see in you"
• "You should see my dick" He winks and I scrunch my face up in disgust "But then again, you're probably a virgin. Am I right?"
• I gape. How did he know that?
• My lack of response gives me away and his eyes widen showcasing his bright and beautiful grey orbs "Oh my god, you are! What the fuck? Don't you have a boyfriend?"
• "Yes, but unlike you, not every guy's world revolves around sex" I defend exasperated.
• "Oh my god" He repeats still looking shell shocked "How the fuck are you a virgin? I didn't know those still existed past high school"
• "Shut it" I snap because I feel very much ridiculed at this point. What's so hard to believe about me being a virgin? It's not like I've never had anything up my vagina. Just not a penis.
• He puts his hands up in surrender "Well at least now I know for a fact that I would never sleep with you"
• Ouch.
• "What? Why?" Not that I want him to or anything but still. That's not something you can just say to someone.
• He raises a brow "I don't sleep with virgins"
• "Mhm, so you do have a heart. Interesting" I tease at the new information. I don't know why but it also makes me feel better about myself. I though he was going to say something like I'm too ugly or my boobs are too small.
• "Whatever" He mutters uninterested. And I can see he's back to his cold self. It was fun while it lasted "I have to be somewhere. Don't wait up. And don't go into my room or I'll kick you out"
• Yep, definitely back to his old self. I know half of them time he was being rude and stuff, but I would really like to have more conversations with the mystery that is Kyle. I definitely won't be holding my breath though.
• "Okay" I tell him. He rolls his eyes before getting up and disappearing out of the door.
• Bipolar much?
