"Josh?" Tyler knocked to let
me know he was coming in
even though the door was open.

"What's up?"

"Where's Noah?"

"She left like twenty minutes
ago why?"

"Jenna, she's gone," Tyler
stuck his head out the door
and shouted to his wife.
I heard Jenna's footsteps
running to the room.

"Aaaahh!
Tell me everything!
Are you guys back together?"
Jenna jumped onto the bed
and waited for my answer.
I chuckled at her determination
to get the details out of me.

"Well we worked everything
out but I don't know if that
means we're officially back
together." I sighed.

"I'm so happy for you guys."
she clapped enthusiastically.

"Can I have these pancakes?"
Tyler yelled from the kitchen.
I felt my cheeks get red
remembering the pancakes me
and Noah were making and
planning to eat before having sex.

"Go ahead." I shouted back.

"Why are you so pink?" Jenna
furrowed her eyebrows at me.

"Me and Noah might have... did
the deed instead of eating those
pancakes, which was the original
plan I swear." I rubbed my neck.

"Oh my God Josh... you had
sex on our good sheets?!" she
stood up from the bed real quick.

"Sorry." I laughed.

"Wait, does she know you're
leaving in five days?" Jenna
asked worriedly.

"No.
I was thinking of taking her
out tomorrow and telling her then.
I wish I could stay here but I
can't risk getting caught by her
parents or anyone else.
She told me the business is
even more pressure from her
parents so I know for a fact
they'll do everything in their
power to uphold her priorities."
I rubbed my face with both my
hands and tugged on my hair.
It was the same problem all
over again and I didn't want to
leave Noah again.

"I swear I want to throat punch
those people on a daily basis."
Jenna balled up her fist.

"Oh yeah, me too." I sighed.
Before Jenna could say anything
else, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"I miss you already." I could
practically hear Noah pouting
on the other side of the line.

"It hasn't even been an hour
since you left." I smiled.
Jenna wiggled her eyebrows
at me and gave me a thumbs
up before exiting the room.

"But babyyyy." she whined.

Baby.

My heart beat against my chest
fast at the name I haven't heard
in such a long time.

"Look, how about I take you
somewhere tomorrow?"

"But I want you right now.
Actually... never mind!"
she spat suddenly.

"What did I do?!" my heart
started to sink to my stomach.

"I'm still sore you cunt.
I have to walk like a fucking
penguin around my house."

"Jeez Noah, you scared me.
I thought it was serious."
I let out a sigh of relief.

"I am serious."

"You weren't complaining
in the process." I smirked.

"Shut up Josh." she giggled.

"I love you."

"You can't see me but I'm
smiling like an idiot with my
face in my pillow." her voice
was muffled pretty much
proving to me that she indeed
stuffed her face in a pillow.

"You didn't say it back." I
pouted even if she couldn't see.

"I love you too Joshua.
So, so much." I smiled to
myself and threw myself
onto the bed.
After a moment of comfortable
silence, I spoke up again.

"So how about that date?"

"Sounds great Starboy."

"Cool.
I'll pick you up at seven?"

"No, you can't come here!"

"Sorry sorry, I forgot."

"Yeah, I'll just meet you at
Tyler's place.
How fancy do I need to dress?"

"Uuuuh, I don't know.
I'll let you know tomorrow
morning though, promise."

"Alright, well I'll see you
then Starboy."

"See you." I smiled and just
as I was about to hand up...

"Wait!" she shouted.

"What happened?" I asked
a little worried.

"I love you."

"I love you too.
I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok, bye."

"Bye."
