The Space Between Us

17 - Confessions part 1

Friday 1st May

Having cheeky conversations was a daily occurence now. It didn't happen all the time but they were both clearly frustrated and enjoyed teasing one another. Afia was being playful, she wanted to be in his room right now but offered otherwise.

Afia: Do you want my address now so you can come over?

Noah: Mmm I'll take it

Afia shook her head, he loved joking around.

Afia: Haha not happening yet

Noah: I'd give you mine

The next thing she knew, he had actually typed in his address. She quickly put it into google maps to see if it was real and it was. Her hand came up to her mouth in surprise, he actually sent his address to a stranger. Nevermind it was her and she was trustworthy but this was taking it up a level.

Afia: Wait, that's your real address. I can't believe you actually sent, first of all thanks for trusting me first of all but i can't come now

Noah: Obviously you don't want me that bad then

'Shit' she thought, 'I'm always the one suggesting to meet up and go over but he gave his address. He wasn't joking anymore.'

Afia: Ay don't say that. How am I meant to come in? Climb up your window?

Noah: You can just come in, my parents wouldn't care. I'll just say you're my friend, we're gonna chill in my room, don't knock

Afia: But they'll know, I don't want our first meet to be like that even if I do come over. Do you want that to happen?

Noah: Do I want you to come over?

Afia: Yeah I want to see you yeah

Noah: And I do too, I just want you so bad. I want to kiss and hold you

Afia: I want that as well but I can't do it now though. We can do it at some point if you want

Noah: When would you want to?

Afia: Honestly my parents are extra about us going out for prolonged times and I defo won't spend a short time with you. Let me think about it, do you want that to be our first date?

Noah: No, course not but I'm sick of waiting

Afia: Same. Okay can we do this? They're gona announce what's happening with the lockdown next week and are slowly start lifting it. So let's see what they say and then we can plan? If it seems long then we just fuck it and meet up

Noah: Perfect I'm down, I can wait a bit longer

Afia: As much as i want to see you though, I might be shy if I just come over and go to your room

Noah: I'll make you feel welcome dont worry

Afia: What were you thinking?

Noah: Some cuddling, kissing while laying in my bed as I undress you, feeling your body, playing with your nipples as i lick your neck. That kinda stuff

Afia: : Now you've got me clenching my thighs together but what if it's awkward when we meet? I doubt it but what if it happens

Noah: If it's awkward, it's awkward, doesn't mean it'll stay that way

Afia: Hm okay I just don't want to feel like a booty call, I know that's not the situation

Noah: We dont have to have sex, we can literally just chill

Afia: Okay I like that, I just don't want the thought of us meeting to have sex like that's all it is beacuse I like you and I don't want the physical aspect to out do the emotional side of it, I want to get to know you too

Noah: How much do you like me out of 10?

Afia: Ah maybe a 5. I'm joking. Let's not make you too cocky so a 9 for now, you can give the extra 1 once we meet up. I haven't fancied anyone this much in a long time so it pretty much says it all

Noah: Neither have I, I really really like you

Afia: Haha I feel like we're school kids confessing how we much we really like each other but no I'm happy to meet up and chill, defo still kissing and see how it goes

Noah: Without a doubt, can you do me a favour? Send me a pic of you smiling right now, I need something to brighten my day

Afia: Am I getting one too?

They both sent each other pictures which they showered with compliments, feeling all loved up in the moment. Afia decided to send her address too, so he could have a look at where they were situated.

Noah: I can get the train to Stratford if you want to meet there, it's close for both of us and meet at the park outside the stadium

Afia: To have a cute date?

Noah: I don't care what we do, I just want you to be there

Afia: Good I was gona say the same as long as we get to meet and spend time then we're good. I'm happy it finally feels like it's gona happen now

Noah: It was always going to happen baby, we just didn't have the patience

Afia: Haha we made it this far though. Also, how much do you like me out of 10? You didn't say earlier

Noah: How about I just say that I'm on the verge of falling for you very very deeply

She didn't know what to say, she was speechless.

Afia: You're telling the truth?

Noah: Completely, you're the best part of my day

Afia: I feel similar but I've been trying to hold back, I like you a lot like I can't put it into words. I'm hesitant to say the L word because my feelings towards it are weird but I can see it happening. I want a proper relationship where that's the outcome

Noah: See it happening or feel it already?

Afia: Both? I don't want to say it too soon, I want to say that when I feel confident enough to know that's exactly what it is. What about you? Feel free to say whatever you think

Noah: I think I'm falling in love with you to be honest

Afia:You know you're gona make me have happy tears, I feel like a teenager but same If that's the route of where our emotions are going

Noah: It just feels weird feeling it towards someone I haven't met but it's kind of undeniable and I know what the feeling is. I just care so much about you, I love all the things you do, the way you see the world, how you want to live your life. I just think you're amazing and also that you don't put pressure on me, It just feels so fucking freeing to meet a person that gives me my own space

At that moment, Afia heard the door open behind her ruining her happy moment of being in this emotional loved up bubble. Damn her brother, why couldn't anyone knock? He started talking and she didn't want to leave Noah hanging when he just confessed. She quickly typed a message and tried to get rid of her brother.

Afia: My brother just walked in ruining the moment brb x
