Chapter 5: I like him? I like him not?

                                    

                                          
Waking up to the sound of blues and the smell of freshly baked bacon coming from the kitchen, remembering I wasn't in my own bed, I quickly kick my feet out of the plush bed and made my way to the kitchen. 
                          
Listening to his choice in music I laughed and asked. "You we're black in a previous life weren't you? 
                          
"Good morning to you too Scarlett Elizabeth." Noah says laughing to himself all while he took a spin on the balls of his feet facing me as he continued to flip the bacon. 
                          
"Where's your roommate?" 
                          
Noah turns back around and places the skillet on the stove as he began to say. "I don't know, she didn't come home last night...." Taking a final spin on the balls of his feet Noah continued with. "And quite frankly I don't care, where she is- now eat." 
                          
Waving my hand as I yawned I said. "No, thanks I should be heading home!" 
                          
"Home, I thought we could go on a hike and then maybe go on a picnic." 
                          
Laughing out loud literally, holding my chest, as if he told a hilarious joke I asked. "Me, hike?" Dramatically pausing I continued with.  "Sweetie you obviously don't know me that well, I don't hike for fun." 
                          
"Besides I have work in a few hours." I added on. 
                          
"Well then why don't you dance with me?" 
                          
Arching my eye brow, I said. "Excuse me?" 
                          
Switching the music to Beautiful by Meshell Ndegeocello Noah turns off the stove and walks closer to me. I'm not going to lie to you now, my heart just might have skipped a couple of beats, especially when I seen the way he looked at me. 
                          
Grabbing my hands as he pulled me closer to him Noah replied. "You heard me." 
                          
Pulling me closer to his body I instantly roll my eyes which seemed to make Noah chuckle. But I'm not going to lie, I was loving every minute of our bodies swaying back and forth as the sound of Beautiful by Meshell Ndegeocello played in the back ground. Suddenly our bodies get so close that lets say, we couldn't be closer if we wanted too. Looking up and gazing into his eyes as he gazed into mines, both of us wanting each other but neither of us willing to make the move. Finally, Noah decides he'll make the move, and you won't guess what happened next, go on just guess, okay I'll tell you since you don't want to guess. He leaned down to kiss me and I ran, yep I ran like a twelve-year-old kid! 
                          
"Sorry, I'm late for work!"  I yelled as I jetted out.
                          
I don't know what got into me, I mean he is cute, and it was just kissing but for some reason I wasn't ready to kiss him, I mean I don't even know him, so running was the right thing to do right? It's okay you don't have to lie to me, I know the decision to run was stupid! And you know what I did to make up for the awkward running, I avoided him, the best I could I hadn't seen him in weeeekkks, I know crazy, but don't judge me- what would you have done in this situation, kiss him and then what- ugh never mind I don't even want to talk about it anymore.
