My Happy Ending

Chapter 53

My eyes widened as they hit second base easily and were heading to third. I gagged as they were on full out third base in a public. I really needed to stop them before they did it right here on the grass.

“Stop eating each other’s faces and get moving. It’s freezing out here!” I yelled at them, making sure to keep my distance. They sprang apart with sheepish looks on their faces.

Drake said something to Alice that I couldn’t quite hear and pecked her lightly on the lips before sprinting to practice five minutes late.

Alice walked up to me with a shy smile on her face.

“Can I have a ride home?” She asked. I grinned and flashed her Noah’s keys.

“You bet. And we get to ride in Noah’s car,” I said. She grinned excitedly and followed me to the car.

It took me a while to find the right key to unlock it but I finally did. Before I opened the door, I turned to Alice, who was studying the car with awe.

“If we screw up his car, we’re blaming it on Drake. Agreed?” I asked. She grinned and nodded.

“Agreed.”

Ten minutes later I had dropped Alice off at her house and was parking in front of Noah’s house. I couldn’t help but remember the bad memories I’d had here, with Drew and his mother. Hopefully, Noah will have something fun planned to make me forget that.

I know something extremely fun that will make you forget everything.

I felt myself beginning to blush at the dirty side of my mind. I shook my head and opened the car door, being extremely careful. Luckily, Alice and I had managed to return Noah’s car without a scratch, and I was very proud of myself. Noah wouldn’t chew our heads off.

I know something you would want Noah to chew.

I really needed to get my head out of the gutter. It was only five days away. I could wait.

I fumbled with the keys until I found the right one and used it to unlock the front door. I closed it behind me and tossed the keys onto the counter where Noah could easily find them.

I took a moment to glance around the house. It was all so neat and tidy, without even a hair out of place. I started to climb the stairs and looked at the pictures along the way.

The first one was a cute little boy that I assumed to be Noah. In the picture, he was grinning proudly and holding up a weathered football. I smiled and looked at the next one.

In this one were two shirtless boys who looked to be about ten at the pool. I recognized Noah right away but studied the dark haired boy next to him. Noah had his arm around him and they both made a funny face into the camera. After a few more minutes, I realized I was staring at a younger version of Drake.

Even as a child, Noah was ten times hotter than everyone else.

“That’s enough creepy thoughts for one day,” I muttered to myself, shaking my head.

I continued up the stairs, looking at the photos which were mainly of Noah, except for the last one. Something about this one caught my attention.

Similar to the one I had in my room, it was a picture of his family with a man’s face smudged out of the picture. I looked closer and realized that I recognized that suit and the body that went with it.

“You know who that is don’t you?” I heard a voice ask from the top of the stairs. I spun around and met Drew’s mischievous blue eyes.

What was he doing here? I prayed that he would leave me alone and go back to whoever was upstairs.
