I squinted one eye open before
squinting both my eyes to be
met with bright sunlight.
Everyone was so exhausted
after yesterday so we all went
home and went straight to bed.
Jenna and Tyler had planned
to go on a honey moon but
in two weeks or so.
I rubbed my face with my
hands and finally glanced over
to the right.
There was Noah, facing away
from me and completely
enwrapped in the blankets.
I wrapped my arm around her
and pulled her closer to my
body until I was spooning her.
I pulled the blanket down enough
for me to kiss her bare shoulder,
but I wasn't expecting to see a
tattoo there and I definitely couldn't
believe that I didn't see it yesterday.
I kissed her bare shoulder and
then down her arm, ignoring
the tattoo for now.
"Watch'a doin' there Joshua?"
she asked with a groggy voice.
"What I should have been
doing for the last year and a
half." I kissed back up to her
shoulder, avoiding her tank top
strap and continued to her
neck and jawline.
She turned around and to face
me and gave me a kiss on the lips.
She rolled over on top and
deepened the kiss as I kept my
hands on her hips.
"Josh, me and Jenna are- OH
JEEZ!" Tyler walked in but
walked right back out and
slammed the door behind him.
Me and Noah both burst
out into laughter to the point
where she rolled off me to
hold her stomach as she laughed.
"Tyler you can come in, we
weren't doing anything." I
said through my laughter.
"Um, no thanks.
I'll just ask you from out here.
Me and Jenna are going out
to lunch and we were just
gonna ask if you wanted to
come?" Tyler asked from the
other side of the door.
"You wanna go?" I whispered
to Noah who was now cuddled
up into my side with her head
on my chest.
"Can we just stay here?" she
said quietly, drawing
shapes on my bare chest.
"Yeah." I smiled and kissed
her forehead.
"You guys go ahead without us.
Have fun!" I replied to Tyler.
"Alright.
We're going to a few places
after that so we'll see you
guys in a few hours." Tyler
told us before walking away
from the door.
"What time is it?" Noah
asked me as she sat up and
adjusted her self on the bed.
"It's almost one." I sighed
contently at the time and the
way I woke up today.
"Let's go make some food.
I'm starving.
Then we should make out
until my lips go numb." she
pecked my lips and hopped
out of bed, revealing the
small shorts she had on.
She exited the room and I
stayed there for a while longer,
thinking about how amazing
I felt right now.
When I finally had the willpower
to get myself out of bed, I
joined Noah in the kitchen.
"Sooo, I have four things to ask
you." I wrapped my arms around
her waist and kissed her shoulder
as she focused on buttering up
the pan for some pancakes.
"Shoot." she smiled.
"Okay one, shouldn't your
parents be wondering why the
hell you didn't come home last
night?" I rocked us back and
forth as I watched her pour the
batter onto the hot pan.
"My parents don't give a rats
ass about where I am as long
as I keep the business top priority
and I'm not doing anything
illegal." she shrugged.
"No offense but your parents
are assholes."
"Trust me I know.
Next question?"
"If you broke up with that jerk
the first day I got here, then why
did he drop you off and walk
you in everyday?"
"We didn't actually like
each other, like at all.
His parents are rich and so
are mine so they kind of
forced us into a relationship.
We tried to like each other
to make it less of a chore
but it didn't work out.
He was totally ok with us
breaking up but we had to act
like we're still together in
front of our parents.
He didn't have to walk me in
but I wanted to make you
jealous." she blushed.
"I guess I deserved that.
Anyways, I'll start making
eggs while you finish up."
"Your other questions?"
"What does your tattoo mean?"
I looked over at her to see
her eyes had gone wide and her
face went a light pink.
"Um..." she flipped a pancake
and swallowed loudly.
"Noah?"
"I didn't think I'd ever have
to explain it to you."
"Just tell me."
"Well when you left, the only
thing I found comfort in was
going up to the roof and
looking up at the stars.
You were my Starboy and
the lights in the sky were a
constant reminder that even if
you weren't with me, you were
under the same stars.
It was reassuring to me to know
that you were at least alive and
going on happily with your life,
even if it was without me.
I just loved you that much."
she shrugged as if was nothing
and never took her eyes
off the perfectly golden
brown circle.
"So it basically represents
you and me?" I walked over
to her and moved her hair out
of the way so that I could
see the tattoo better.
"Yeah, in a way." she said quietly.
I felt my heart was going to
burst from my chest.
I kissed the tattoo on her shoulder
and kept my lips hovering over
her shoulder.
I kissed closer to her neck.
"God I love you." I continued
until I was under her jaw.
"I-I love you too." she breathed out.
"I missed you so, so much." I
remembered her sweet spot
and began to bite on it lightly.
"Mmm, Josh." she turned around
so that her body was facing me
and pulled me closer, giving me
more access to her neck.
I felt around to find the nob of
the stove and turned it off
before picking her up with her
arms and legs around me and
taking her to the room.
I laid her on the bed gently
and crawled over her.
I held myself over her and
kissed her with all I had.
It wasn't sloppy, it was slow
and blissful.
"J-Josh?" Noah pulled her
head back to say something.
"Yeah?" I placed my hand on
her cheek and rubbed it
with my thumb.
She bit her lip nervously.
"Nothing, never mind." she gave
me the most convincing smile
she could put on but I knew
her all too well.
