Unexpected

Chapter 12

This is a short chapter but you get a lot out of it :) 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I smack Emery’s hand away as he reaches for the cake batter. Emery rolls his eyes and leans back in the chair he’s sitting in. 

It’s been a week since Cade dropped the Chace thing on me, I mean we went on one date, one and then he goes to jail for pornography. I just attract all the weirdoes, don’t I? I mean there was Noah….

 Just thinking about Noah brings a smile on my face.

As awkward as this is going to sound, Noah was really an amazing boyfriend. I mean sure Noah’s hot with blond hair, surfers haircut. His eyes the most darkest brown, ever. He has high cheekbones, round skinny face, has one hell of a jaw line, and the usual hot abs from all the sports he does. But Noah’s personality was even better than his sexy looks. Noah is hilarious, sweet, kind, accountable, bold, carefree, faithful, friendly, mature and over all a great person. Even though he has a bit of an anger problem, trust me once you get Noah pissed you get him pissed. 

It took me over three months to make a flirtatious move on Noah in the ninth grade. After lacrosse practice we all decided to play tag football, I guess at that time you could say I was very shy at that time. I was new to the team and I felt they haven’t accepted me into this all boy team yet, so I stood away from them and tied my strings on my lacrosse stick, over and over again. About the fifth time tying them, I was ready to leave. As I gathered my practice crap I had started walking over to moms car when I hear Noah’s masculine voice call for me. I turn around and he asks where I’m heading, I tell him home. Then I tell him I’m not that good. He tells me he knows I think the guys don’t like me but they do, with a shrug I finally grab Noah’s hand and drag us to the boys. And from that day its all history. Noah always treated me like a princess even after we broke up. 

The brake up just happened, Noah had been the one who broke up with me. He just told me since he was a senior and all this relationship wasn’t going to work as he’s heading to college next year. To say I was left heartbroken was an understatement. Noah had been the only boy I actually fell for but in the end you always get left heartbroken. I never told Noah how bad the brake up hurt me, when he broke up with me I just nodded and told him I totally understood and made it an act since the brake up 2 months ago. The only person I told about how hurt I was, was Cade. I trust Cade, he trusts me. Cade’s never told Noah and I thank God for that. Noah was also the only guy I’ve ever gotten in bed with, so I mean we have a special connection I guess. We both took each other’s virginity from each other. 

“Earth to Cedes!” 

I blink and shake my head as I look at Emery. “Huh, sorry, what?” I question. 

“I asked why you’re baking a cake.” 

I squint my eyes at him. “What? I cant bake a cake?” Emery shakes his head and I roll my eyes. Figures. “I’m bored so yeah,” I answer. 

“Can I help?” my eyes widen. Is Emery Woods asking to…help? 

“Um sure. You can mix the lemon juice in with the icing in the fridge,” Emery looks at me and chuckle. “honestly you cant judge until you’ve tasted it.” 

“I’m trusting you, Element.”

Emery turns on the little radio in the kitchen and start pouring some lemon juice in the icing and mixes it. I finished up the cake batter and but it on a pan then put it in the stove. For once it felt like old times, it felt like Jess and Clayton (Emery’s parents) were here with us. It felt like Emery and I are 8 and 9 again. My parents are chilling with Jess and Clayton, we’re all normal.
