El Grande

After about half an hour of shaking Trish I resorted to a more diabolical way of getting her out of bed. Going back downstairs I fill a pot with some water and head back up, making sure to be as quiet as possible to not disturb Noah and his latest fling. Rolling my eyes at the thought of her smirking the way she did when Noah turned around. Seriously does she think she’s going to be his girlfriend or something? Please delusional alert.

Opening the door I make my way in and empty the whole pot of water on Trish’s head “what the f**k!” She screams as she flings herself up in terror. Barely able to contain myself I crack up laughing “oh is that how it is huh?” The tone of her voice has me instantly looking up to see the cheeky grin on her face. Before I can move away Trish has me in a vice like grip rubbing her wet hair all over me “T-Trish stop it!” I laugh and try pushing her away.

Noah must have heard all the commotion because he comes to the door “can you guys..” he doesn’t finish his sentence and instead looks down at my shirt causing me to follow my gaze. “s**t!” Panic floods me as I speedily cover my now see through shirt with my hands and send a seething glare towards Trish who shrugs and laughs.

“Just keep it down, others are trying to sleep you know?” He says before closing the door and walking away. “Oh god that’s hilarious” Trish laughs uncontrollably and I just pick up a pillow and hit her with it “what the hell were you thinking!” I grumble causing her to laugh harder “hey you started it by wetting me, I just decided you needed to get wet too. Not my fault Noah walked in” she holds her stomach and laughs even harder.

After a much needed outfit change and a very stern talk to Trish we made our way to the local cafe called El Grande which just happened to be our favorite hang out spot. “So was the party wild” Ellie one of my best friends beams at me from across the table “yeah totally epic” I roll my eyes, remembering the splitting headache I had all for nothing as I was still too shy to make a move on Noah. Eyeing Trish cautiously I clear my throat “well there was one thing that was interesting about last night”

“Spill the beans now!” Ellie demands as she leans closer with a wide cheshire grin. “I…I may of met a guy” I blush uncontrollably and decide my fingernails are suddenly very interesting “and why the hell didn’t you tell me!” Trish squeals and playfully punches my arm.

“Well I mean that stuff that happened with Noah kind of put a bit of a damper on my mood” I mumbled quietly and run my now sore bicep “thanks now my arm hurts”

Trish rolls her eyes at me “it wasn’t even that hard, don’t be such a baby. Now spill” before I can even get a word out the guy from the party last night walks in, this time he has a bit of a limp and I swear I can see his lip slightly split.

“That’s him!” I whisper yell in a hushed tone “that’s the guy from the party” Trish and Ellie turn to look at him while I try to sink a little further into my seat. “He’s hot!” Trish says while turning back to me “and by the looks of it he has a big d**k” she says raising her eyebrows approvingly.

Dear god please swallow me whole, if I wasn’t embarrassed before I most definitely am now.sinking further into my seat I blush even further “why do you have to be so crude!” I growl to Trish who only laughs in response.

“Oh come on Nora, you can’t be a virgin forever. You gotta give it away to somebody,why not him?” She wiggles her eyebrows at me. I stare at my hands and give the notion a slight thought before I shake my head. How do I tell my best friend that I don’t want to give it to anyone but her brother? How will she react when she finds out after 12 years of friendship I’ve got my eye on her older brother?!

I mentally face palm myself and didn’t realize Trish had moved from her seat and had started walking over to the guy. After a few words, a look my way with Trish beaming from ear to ear she walks back over. “His name is Josh, he’s the same age as Noah and he is most definitely interested in going on a date with you tomorrow night!” She squeals and hugs me.

Great just great, now I’ve got a date that I’m not even sure what we’ll talk about or whether we’ll get along “come over to my house tomorrow and I’ll make sure you look absolutely stunning!” Trish giggles.

All I can literally think about for the rest of our time at El Grande is how I’m going to pretend to be sick or maybe god will have mercy on me and strike me down with lightning. Yeah like I’d ever be that lucky.

By the time we finally get back to Trish’s it’s near 10pm and I’m deathly aware that I’ve stayed out past my curfew. “Trish I have to go.. You know how mum gets when I’m out late..” she just shakes her head “you’re going to have to wait, I think Noah is busy and I don’t want you to be walking home at this time by yourself..”

Mustering up the courage I sigh and walk up to Noah’s room where I can hear rustling of sheets and giggles. Pulling my shoulders back I knock on the door “um Noah..”

With an exaggerated groan from behind the door he opens it,standing shirtless and glistening with sweat in all his 6’4 glory. “What do you want Goldie I was..” he looks over his shoulders “busy” he finally finishes and looks back at me.

“Umm can you give me a lift home.. Trish won’t let me walk because of the time..” I can already see the frustration forming on his face before he looks back over his shoulder again “get dressed I’m going to drop you and Goldie home”
