One Kiss

Chapter 11
Evie's POV // One Kiss

"Evaline Nicole Michaels I have a pillow and I am ready and willing to use it if you don't stop working and come sit and tell me all the details about your celebrity boyfriend." Nora say walking into my office with a pillow hanging over her shoulder.

"I'm in the middle of some emails, Nora!" I chuckle. "I know you really live for the gossip but you're gonna have to wait until I finish this. Besides, I already told you stuff this morning."

"Evieeeee!" She whines, stomping her foot as she stands in my doorway. "I know there is more. I literally want to hear about every second. Have you talked to him today? Are you texting? What have you talked about?" She asks in rapid fire.

"...I brought you coffee from Beck's." She whispers trying to bribe me away from my desk, after only receiving silence as an answer to her questions.

It should also be noted that my sister barely knew Beck's even existed prior to her return home, but she has nearly spent every waking hour there since. And she thinks I'm the one who is going to be dishing about my love life.

"Fine." I sigh, unable to concentrate with her in my doorway and the thought of coffee always winning over everything else.

"Yay!" She claps, leading the way back to the living room and settling into her seat on the couch like a kid at Christmas.

"Tell me everything."

"You've heard the story Nora!" I chuckle. "It was one date, with a promise of another and a promise to keep in touch until then."

"Yes, but! It's Niall! Niall!!!! I need to know everything. The way his eyes are the most perfect blue, or how he runs his fingers through his hair, or the faintest dimple on his cheek when he smiles..." She gushes.

"Geez, you're not out to steal him from me are you?" I tease her.

"Of course not, but you could at least act a little excited and gush to me about your boy toy."

"Boy toy Implies that I'm playing with him..." I point out.

"Well Evie if you're not yet then why not?!" She smirks dirtily.

"You're impossible and much more wild than I remember you prior to your trip." I roll my eyes at her as she chuckles.

"Seeing the world can change a woman." She smirks with a mischievous glimmer in her eyes.

"Honestly though Nora we just met...there can't be that much going on. We've barely done anything that crosses the line from friendly to romantic...well except..." I say, stopping mid sentence in realization of the bomb I'm about to drop on Nora.

"Except what?!" She jumps.

"Except for the fact that he kissed me." I smirk, the tiniest of blush covers my face but i'm far more amused with Nora's reaction than with my own emotions in the moment.
