It Ends Where It All Started ©️

~JUNE, 2042~
~GRACE~

It was Noah's 20th birthday party. I didn't know what to dress and it was really frustrating me.

"what are you doing?" Leo said entering his room as I was sitting on bed staring at my opened wardrobe

"I don't know what to wear" I said and looked at him "I don't want to be dressed like a slut" I said and he looked away for a second

"dress whatever you want Grace, I don't care. I trust you and I know you can take care of you. I'm just gonna have you on my eye, punish you if there will be a need, so you better wear something so I can be closer to you. It's your choice" he said and left the room as I just stare at the doors

I took my black dress, threw it on the bed and opened his wardrobe. I looked through his shirts and took out the black one. I put on my dress, his shirt tying it lightly on the front and I put on my black heels.

Since Leo and I started dating I'm, the most often, wearing dresses and heels that I didn't like until a year ago.

He likes when I wear dresses because then it doesn't stand a lot of material in between us, he can just pull my dress up and that's it. He also doesn't like it much because he says that other guys are eye fucking me and that he doesn't like the thought of that.

I left the room and went to the living room where he was waiting for me. When he saw me he laughed for a bit and got closer to me.

"you well know what I like even if that puts you in danger" he said wrapping his arms around my waist

"let's go" he said pulling me by hand so we left his apartment

•••••••

"hey, happy birthday" I said hugging Noah as we entered the house where he moved in with Alex, Luke and Jack a year ago

"hey, thanks for coming" he said hugging me back tightly wrapping his arms around me

"happy birthday mate" Leo said with serious tone and I pulled back from Noah

It was because Noah held his arm on my lower back, but for god sake they are friends and Noah likes Phoebe but of course, Leo is still jealous.

Leo put his arm around my waist so low that he was touching my butt with his hand.

"come in" Noah said leading us to the living room where he had all the stuffs ready for tonight

"everyone's in the backyard, trust me man, if I wasn't insisting on bigger backyard, no birthday parties would be here" Noah said punching Leo shoulder to shoulder

Leo didn't seem much interested and soon I realised why, there was more than 30 guys messing around the backyard not counting the Noah, Luke, Alex, Jack and Daniel who I know.

We went to the backyard and soon enough Phoebe was in front of me pulling me in hug.

"hey" she said smiling

"hey to you too" I said and smiled at her "how are you doing?" I asked as Leo let me know he is going to greet boys

"I'm good, I'm good" she said happily

"did you do something about mission called Noah Benson?" I asked hitting her shoulder lightly

"no, I didn't, I thought about telling him at the end of the day, after I see if he is close to some of those" she said rolling her eyes

I saw some girls messing around boys where Noah and Leo were and I couldn't realise which was trying to get on Leo and which on Noah but it was clear to see that all four of them were trying to get the two of them.

"It's going to be a hard night" I said and Phoebe nodded

"I agree, but you're with Leo, you don't have to worry about it while Noah still doesn't know how I feel about him and he is probably into some of them so I really do have to worry" she said sadly and I looked at her

I so want to tell her that Noah is into her as well but I can't, I already told Noah about her and she would never forgive me if she finds out.

"I'm sure he doesn't like any of them" I said quietly and she looked at me confused

"do you know something?" she asked and I shook my head

"no, how would I know something?" I asked

"because Leo is his best friend" she said and I shook my head

"no, I don't know anything" I said

•••••••

"attention, attention" Noah shout and everyone turned towards him

"I would like to take a moment to do something I'm trying for couple of months but I wasn't ready and now I think I am" he said and I hoped it was about Phoebe

"Phoebe, can you get closer?" he asked pointing to Phoebe who was standing with Alex a bit away from Leo and me

"please" he said and she walked towards him as everyone were looking at them

Alex, Luke and Jack started whistling as they knew Noah has a crush on Phoebe but Leo beside me was totally calmed. He held his arm around my waist pulling closer to him as much as he could as he was looking around all the time with just a gaze pushing boys away from me.

"I'm not sure how you feel but I thought I could shoot my shot.... I've liked you for a long time and I really enjoy being around you.... I never felt this way until I met you almost two years ago.... I thought we will be just friends but I do feel more and I wanted to ask you in front of all those people..... would you be my girlfriend?" he asked looking at her nervously just like he doesn't know that she likes him too

"I thought you would never ask" she said and every started whistling and clapping as they kissed

"he won't do it yet if you didn't get in between them" Leo said and I looked up at him

"I'm just glad he did it finally" I said putting my hand on his cheek and he leaned it to kiss me

"you all, this girl right here is taken! So hands to yourself! I'm watching you!" Noah shouted pointing to Phoebe beside him and everyone laughed
