The quiet boy

The Storm

I woke up in sudden panic, looking around my surroundings “oh s**t I feel asleep” finally getting her bearings, olivia moved towards her phone to see it was 7:30

“Holy s**t, it’s so late!” Olivia screeched

“Wheres Noah??” She question herself but as soon as she did, Olivia heard the door open

“Oh finally your awake” Noah said as he entered the door

“I have a glass of water here for you” he continued as he walked towards Olivia

“Thank you so much, I’m so sorry I feel asleep” reaching her arm out to grab the cup “I’m always really sorry but I need to get home, it’s starting to get late and I don’t feel overly too comfortable driving at night” Olivia finish as she took a sip

“Yea there no way your going to make it home tonight, there’s a really bad storm and we’ve been told to stay off the road” Noah stated as he watch her sip the water

“I’m so sorry! I feel like I’ve become a hassle” I replied in an upset tone

“No no! It’s fine, it’ll give us time to do our assignments now” he said with a bit of a chuckle. “Are you sure??” Olivia questioned before she realise that was the first she heard him chuckle before

“You just chuckled?” Olivia replies before she even know what’s she was saying

Noah raised his eyebrow “Yea, what’s the big deal?”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard it, you should do it more, it’s quite nice” I replied before having another sip

Noah crouched down to my level looking directly into my eyes “Are you flirting with me Olivia?”

Feeling my face go completely red, I choked on my water, coughing on my water he just continued to stare at my waiting for an answer, after my coughing fit I tried to force out I reply

“I..I..I..I” that’s all I could do was stutter

Noah just smirked “don’t sweat it too much, it’s cute”

Olivia sat there in shock, not knowing what to do or say not expecting something like that to come from Noah

“Can we get back to studying?” Noah stood up moving towards the bed this time

“Yes! Of course we can” Olivia replied back getting up to grab her stuff to sit on the bed with him.

2 hours went by with nothing else said between them unless it was related stuff to the project

“Can we stop now? I’m getting tired” Olivia whined

Noah laughed “You had a nap before how could you be tired already?” Olivia rolled her eyes “I don’t know but please” she begged

“Fine, fine. What do you want to do?” He questioned her

“Well I don’t know anything about you, we could go back and forward of asking questions”

Noah looked at her with a smirk “ok, but we can only answer with the true”

“Uhhh dah, what’s the point in asking questions without getting true” Olivia said overly dramatically

“Who goes first then?” Noah still had his smirk on

“I do!” Olivia said with excitement “let’s go with basics what’s your favourite colour?”

“Hmm I would have to say blue, what’s yours?” Noah

“Mine is green, very similar to your eyes” I answered looking at my hands “what’s your favourite food??”

Noah shifted closer on the bed “I really love tacos! What about you?”

Looking up at him “sushi” I smiled “I really love sushi”

Olivia thought about her next question “hmm, why do you not talk to anyone at class?”

Noah’s smirked dropped “We’ll there’s no one there that I like, they all use to bully me when I was younger”

His tone changed from the playful one he had on before to a nonchalant one

I placed my hand on his forearm “Oh I’m sorry I shouldn’t have asked”

“Nah it’s fine” Noah smiles “it’s mind turn anyway, why have you never had a boyfriend?” He asked just before I pulled my hand away, it caught my off guard a little bit, like I’ve had flings, I’ve been on dates but Ive never ended up with them, I’ve never really thought of it, finally knowing what I was going to say to him

“We’ll I’ve done things with guys, I’ve been on dates but I guess none of them have ever really completely caught my attention or stayed consistent enough” Olivia looked into Noah eyes before continuing “either that or they’ve gotten with someone else” they both shared a small smile “I’m sorry to hear that Olivia” Noah grab her hand that was still holding his arm in attempts to comfort her a little. Holy s**t, holy s**t, holy s**t, I looked down at our hands, to see he was rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb, I could feel the butterflies in my stomach, not knowing what to do he said my name in more husky voice “Olivia?” I looked up at him, his eyes were piercing into mine, gulping I could feel the intensity between us “are you ok?” Noah whispered out “Yea I am” Olivia whispered back

“Why are you so emotionless at school all the time?” Olivia questioned back still staring into his eyes

“I find people leave me alone when I don’t express anything” Noah was still staring in Olivia’s eyes “can I ask you something more personal?” Olivia just nodded “Can I kiss you?”
