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.
