      And then I was cut off by Noah swiftly leaning down to place his lips on top of mine to kiss me.
      I froze.
      For a second I froze but then I have into it and kissed him back because for some reason, although I was scared of what this would lead to or mean, I didn't want to ruin this moment.
      My whole body felt like it was melting like candle wax as Noah had his arms wrapped securely around my waist, holding me close to him.
      Noah's lips moved gently and carefully against mine, slow, like he wanted to savour every second.
      Our lips moved together in perfect rhythm, like they were two puzzles pieces waiting to be placed together.
      My hands someone landed on Noah's chest, his heart beating triumphantly and at a quicker pace than steady.
      My knees felt like they were going to bu

      The following day, I was riveting with anxiety and anticipation.
      I knew Noah and I were going to have to talk about the... the kiss. It was more of a mini make-out session rather than just a kiss but you know what I mean.
      I hardly slept and was so anxious that I had been tapping my foot all morning.

      I groaned as my eyes fluttered open. I stretched out of my arms and neck, my whole body feeling sore as I had fallen asleep in my car.
      I was parked in front of the forest that led to the dock and lake. I must've closed my eyes for a few minutes and then dozed off.
      I grabbed my phone from the cup holder and opened it to see the time that read 10:23pm. I had a few missed calls and texts from Ezra and Charlie as well, along with one from Luke.
      I sighed as I turned the keys in the ignition but when I put the car on Reverse, it would not move. A beeping sound rang through my ears and thats when I looked to the gas meter to see that my car had absolutely no gas in it.
      I groaned and rested my head down on the steering wheel, not in the fucking mood for this to be happening right now.
      After a few minutes,
