Mission success. Noelle is coming over this weekend. Now just ta prepare. Everything must be perfect. Why? Because its Noelle everything has gotta be perfect for her. I don't want her to see me as less the her, and knowing her she will tease me if my place is a mess. Operation clean the house begin.
~~~~~~~
Cleaning done food read now just to wa -
The door chimed, it must be Noelle.
"Hello Akarsha" Noelle is always very careful with her words, so ofcourse she would greet someone this basically.
" Good evening frenchman", I can see an annoyed smirk on Noelle face, obviously cause by the nickname "Ready for the best sleepover of your life"
"I honestly doubt you can plan something good, but the bar is on the floor" Noelle retorts, I'm honestly not surprised Noelle isn't allowed to do fun stuff, man her mums a bitch.
"Bad sleep over, let me guess had to study the whole time during one" I tease.
"Never went to a sleepover before" Noelle face looks forlorn now, not a hood way to start the night.
"*gasp* you never went to a sleepover, don't worry, I Akarsha will be a hero and make it the best sleepover ever" Her face lights up as I say that, a success.
"So am I to stand in the door for the while day" Noelle quizzez. I gesture inside and bring her my room, there I'd a blowup bead already set up, Noelle places her bag on the floor beside it and sits on it. It dips down a bit on the side she sitting on, blowup beds always do that, it's a pain, you can't move without a sound equal to bomb going off.
"So what do we do at a sleepover" Noelle asks timidly. Wait thta can't be it Noelle being timid, is she ok? "Ehhh well, what j was thinking we can do is, order pizza and when it arrives watch a horror movie, then I don't know, just stay up here for a bit till we sleep" I respond.
"You know that neither of us are good with horror movies" She responds. She isn't wrong, when we watch them with Min and Diya we are the only ones to scream. "you'll be fine, I'm here I wont let anything bad happen to you, I will protect you", I answer hoping that she will agree, she looks cute when scared, god that makes me sound like a sadist, never mind.
"And who will protect you Akarsha", she says attemtping not to giggling. She always does that, I don't know why maybe it's to keep the 'I hate you' gig up. "I don't need protecting, I am just that cool", I reply.
She never entertains my jokes, so this conversation is basically over. "Hmmm fine I guess I will protect you", she kids.
That was surprising she never jokes with me, in a light hearted way I mean, she 'jokes' with me alot. Like that time she showed me a picture of her holding a cup up to a toilet after getting me water to make me belief it was toilet water. It wasn't. Which I guess is better than actually toilet water but still. Min called me piss girl for months.
"If you must" I joke "anywhooooo I will order the food, I'll get one cheese and one pepperoni. Because some of us like flavour.
You choose the movie, make it a scary one. Also get changed into what you wearing to bed".
~~~~~~~~~
"Bone apple teeth" I exclaim "ohhh The Shinning, I see, I see". I place the pizza on the table in front of the TV. "I have read the book and it's reasonably scientifically accurate, which I guess makes it scarier" Noelle mutters throwing the blanket over both of us. "Ohhh you can't nitpick it down to 'not accurate' so your not scared" I reply.
"I don't do that" she retorts. It's untrue of course and she knows it. Neither of us are good qt hiding are fear if we dont do something. I make jokes, Noelle makes it all sciencey. "Sure you don't" I tease.
~~~~~~~~~~
The end credits role. I ended up lying on her shoulder half way through. She didn't complain, I guess because i was close she could take comfort from it. Or she will use it to tease me in the future, but that a double bladed sword, as I can use it to tease her too. I look at her, she looks comfortable, her face is red, obviously from the heat. I go to get up, to scare her.
"Don't you dare move", her hand moves to the top of my head keep me down as she says that. "Why", I quiz, I would be lying to say I'm not scared to, but I'm not gonna tell her that.
"Your warm and I'm comfortable, you have very few things you good at, this is one, of the few things, so stay still", she hums. I feel my face heat up, I burry my face in her neck in the hopes she won't see my face. "Am I just a personal hot wattles bottle for you" is what I attempted to say, but it was muffled by her shirt.
"Did you say something" she whispers in to my hair. For once I can't hear a sardonic smile on her face as she says that. I move my head so she can hear what I say, before I repeat my self.
"Maybe, I am cold, you are not, you are an easy fix to the problem" she answers. Ofcourse she makes it sciencey, can she not see I'm dying here. " Want to go to your room, it has heavier blankets" she asks.
I look at the clock on the wall its 1am. "Yeah it's late, let's go". Noelle releases me from my prison.
The walk from the sitting room to my room isn't a long one, and is as expected uneventful.
That is until we arrive in my room, were I decied to get pay back on Noelle, I wait until she is sitting on the bed to attack her, using her ultimate weakness against her. How ticklish she is.
She definitely made and attempt to stop me, but her strength is none existance. "OK, ok, you win, you win, let me be please",
She says between laughs. I stop, she got my message. "Akarsha can I brade you hair".
That I wasn't expecting, I'm not gonna say no though, so I nod my head, an obvious yes. Noelle signals for me to sit at the edge of the bed. I sit facing the blow up bed, she kneels behind me. She takes the hair ties out of my hair and starts to run her fingers through it. It's quite relaxing I'm not going to lie. Which has been made obvious to Noelle by the sigh that left my lips before I realised.
"That never happened it was a different timeline" I explain. I only get an affirmative noise as a reply from Noelle. We sit in silence for the next few minute.
"Hey Akarsha your gay right" Noelle asks. That came from nowhere, but she not wrong."Yeah I'm bi", I reply. That answer seems to satisfy Noelle for a few minutes until she asks another question.
"How and when did you realise you were gay", she questions. She is still running her hands through my hair. "Oh I found out I was bi like a year ago. I kinda always knew I liked boys and I realised u had the same feelings for girls a few years back, but I really didn't wanna belive I was gay, but being in the internet let me realise that it wasn't a bad thing and that their were people like me", I respond.
She starts actually brading my hear, I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the other touch. "I think I'm a lesbian", Noelle whispers after a while, once my hair is done."That's cool, I'm proud of you for telling me" I reply. " I don't want your pity pride", she retorts. "It's not pity, it's really a tough thing to come to terms, I swear it's not pity" I answer. She hums in response as she finishes my hair.
"Another topic I want to talk about. You know that day around a year ago before Min and Diya were dating, when we were new to baseball and we were looking for them?" I nod my head.Her breath hitches before she continues her sentence, "You know how you said you, want to die, did you mean it?"
I sigh. "At the time yes, now, no." I reply. She nods her head "Good if you died I would kill you, your to important to me" she replies. She really has changed from that girl I knew last year. "Wow I'm important to you, you don't show it alot" I tease.
She leans in close and grabs my chin, she leans forward and I can feel her breath on my lips, I wanna close the gap but I know j shouldn't. "Let me show you then" she whispers. Her lips touch mine, I can taste her lipbalm on her lips.
We sit making out on the end of the bed, this has been what I've been waiting for in my teen life, in my life all together, Noelle being with me. Us being together, maybe stuff might start going our way.
