Part 14

dixie pov: "get up babe, we have to go get coffee" i hear Noah say really close to my face and then feel his lips on my forehead. i groan and bury my head under the sheets. "no, why?" i ask still hiding. "you said you wanted to and we have to go early so that no one notices us" he replies. i remember telling him this plan yesterday night and dinner. i feel like smacking myself right now. "but cant we go a bit later, its literally...." i say and grab my phone. "its frickin 6 am noah, please let me sleep" i tell him making a pouty face. "alright" he says sighing. he sits down and starts taking off his shoes. i try sleeping again but the sleep doesn't come. "you know what, lets go, i can't sleep anyways" i tell him. "I'm sorry i woke u up" he says. "no its ok, i told u too, its gonna be a great start to the morning," i tell him combing my hair. we both get ready and head outside, taking a walk to our local coffee shop that opens early. we just soak in the less crowded streets and the rising sun. 

noah pov: "did, can you pay for mine as well, i have to go check this out, I'll be back in 15 mins" i tell dixie hurriedly and run to the opposite direction before she has the chance to ask me anything. i think....i think i just spotted a paparazzi guy. and he may have caught me and dixie holding hands and walking to the cafe. 

my eyes catch onto the paparazzi guy again as he continues to the cafe place not noticing me until i am very close to him. "hey man" i say. "oh...hey...hey noah" he says. "hey man, could you close the camera, i gotta talk to you" i tell him. he obeys and shuts off his camera. "i saw you....you and dixie...are you guys dating?" he asks. i knew it. "oh...right....auhh yeah, but you cant post that video or tell anyone," i tell him. "noah, this is my job man, I'm sorry" he tells me. "hey, i get it bro, but please, can you not post that, we dont want this out in the public yet, you know how much dixie went through in her last relationship, please man, for our sake," i say pleading. "okay man, i got you, i won't post it, but i do have to ask something for in return" he says. "anything bro" i assure him. "if and when you guys do expose your relationship in front of the public, i would like an exclusive interview of both, if thats okay" he says. "of course man, its the least we can do" i reply. "good day noah" he says. "good day to u too man" i tell him and we shake hands and he goes his separate way.i run back to the cafe and see dixie sitting and waiting for me.

..

dixie pov: "where did u go" i ask him. "thanks for the coffee" he replies. "answer me" i say. "you see....a paparazzi guy saw us holding hands and recorded it and-" he says. my eyes widen. "what?" i exclaim. "a pap guy-" he starts. "how?" i question. "idk" he replies. "we're ruined" i say staring into nowhere. "we're fucking ruined" i say. "this is what i dint want, now the opinions are gonna start flooding in, and we'll just become like the other titkok toxic couples" i say. "but-" he starts again but i dont listen. "this is too much for me" i say starting to hyperventilate. "its too much-" i repeat." i cant deal with this, we're gonna be ruined, even if we try to ignore the opinions they will affect our relationship, people will-" i say but noah cuts me off almost shouting. "goddammit dixie, we're gonna be fine" he says. "but-?" i say. "i took care of it, we're gonna be fine" he says. i let out a sigh of relief.

noah pov: she starts saying how we're gonna be ruined. over and over again. how she never wanted this. does she think i did? neither of us did. she says the people will give their opinions and we're gonna get toxis. she keeps blabbering and overthinking without letting me to speak and tell her none of that is gonna happen. after some time it gets too much for me so i resort to raising my voice but i lower it as soon as i have her attention. the color returns back to her face after i explain to her in-depth what went down with the pap guy. she hugs me with relief and thanks me for handling the situation.i tell her i did it for us and she had nothing to thank me for. we grab our coffee and rush back home. we won't have a second chance at being saved from the public.

that night*

noah pov: i twist and turn in my bed as i struggle to sleep because one thought keeps swirling in my brain. "this is too much for me" her words sound in my head. the way she reacted today, its making me uncomfortable. why was she so insecure. why did she keep thinking we would be ruined. i mean i get it she didn't have the best experience putting her relationship online last time but will it really be that bad if we do go public. will it be that difficult for her. does she not believe in us? that we could go through this together if push came to shove. did she feel that our relationship was a burden on her? was us being together too much for her? the questions cloud my brain all night as i try to make sense out of them. 

..
