Authors Note: I've been thinking about this chapter a whole lot. After over viewing my thoughts and listening to "When Did Your Heart Go Missing" by Rooney endless times I guess I just decided to wing it.
From here on it's rated T, which means some sexual content and cussing such as the "f" word. So beware any children about on fan fiction!
Enjoy!

It felt too unreal. My knees shook around as he whispered in my ear and handed me the roses. It was all so cliché, all though I had no absolute idea he would show so sudden. He stood there at the doorway a few moments just smiling and staring at me up and down.
He looked the same, of course, from the past two weeks I haven't seen him. His light blond hair hung loosely around his head in a messy wavy bunch as if he rolled out of bed. One streak of a caramel tinted piece of hair was the only thing I saw different in his skater boy like bangs. Unlike me, he was in shape with softly sculpted muscles compared to my noodles I call arms. I glanced through his face, his light brown eyes, light brown freckles scattered around his ski slope nose, and that perfect jaw line.
I should've been happy to see him. Gabe leaves often to pursue on with his amateur modeling career. So far he's only made it on a bean bag advertisement. It is strange to think that a guy like me had the tolerance to date a model, however I've always thought Gabe was different. Most times it pained me to see him leave, he was the only being in my life who felt passionately towards my sadistic ways, and for that I spent long hours convincing myself I truly was in love with this man,…But at this thought I gulped, and I envelop myself in confusion and bitterness.
I was in complete panic. Cody was coming in around 20 minutes, and my boyfriend was here expecting a welcome back party. What have I gotten myself into?
I spoke up, with the first thing that came to mind, "Why did you come back so early?", I choked. Gabe came right inside my apartment without wiping his feet. He left his shoes on and left a few muddy tracks behind. I cringed at the new stuck dirt formed into my carpet. It was then I was forcefully spun around and held tightly by the waist, now his face nose to nose from mine.
"You really want to know why?", he cooed near my lips. I felt a shockwave roll up my spine as I bit my lip and let my arms hang limb by my sides. I knew he expected me to hold him back but every part of my body was in too much of a nerve wracking state to think about romance whatsoever.
"Why.", I murmured inaudibly with terror still shifting in my gut.
"Because I missed you so much.",…He paused a bit unsatisfied with his own answer. I knew what was coming. He kissed my cheek, "I missed you by my side.", he then pecked around the corner of my mouth, "I missed your eyes.", he then went and kissed my lips hard inhaling through his nose loud enough to signal me this one was going to last awhile. I did nothing, I felt as if I had turned into some dummy in his arms and let it be. He slowly slid his tongue in between my lips and tried to fight it through my clamped teeth. I wouldn't let him budge.
"Oh", he snickered onto my neck, "trying to be a tease now, aren't we?", I shook my head sideways yet he didn't seem to pay attention. I'm known as the one to speak up, but this was a entirely different situation.
I felt his upper lip lightly brush against my neck. I shivered from the little tickle, but suddenly his arms wrapped around my back, moving around uncontrollably as he went pressing his lips against my neck, then slowly moving to across my shoulder where he felt he was free to pull the neckline of my shirt down and went on to suck around my bare skin. My eyes opened in immediate shock. I had no time for this at all and something had to be done.
I struggled to move my arms in between us and began pushing him off as he clutched tightly to me, "Gabe… Gabe! Gabe, STOP IT!", I shrilled, pushing him entirely off with all my strength. He stood there baffled with both hands raised up backing away slowly and confused as if he were completely innocent.
"Wha-? Noah, what's the hell is wrong with you?", I shot him a quick angered glance as he tried to laugh it off, "C'mon babe, I didn't mean it like that."
Ignoring his comment, I knew it had to be said, "The reason I ended your little 'love fest' was because I'm having someone over very soon." , I toned holding my hips with more attitude.
He looked relieved. I was guessing he assumed the reason for me pushing him off was worse then it was. All though he still has that unclear look of lust clouding his eyes, I knew it wouldn't be too long until he went for it again.
"Why didn't you say so!", he rested his feet upon my coffee table still with his sneaker, lying back completely chilled on my couch.
"Ahem.", I pointed to his feet. He glanced down a snorted a laugh along with a quick eye roll roughly taking the shoes off and throwing them to the ground.
"I swear Noah, you can be such a neat freak sometimes.", I shrugged off his comment and headed to the kitchen to make sure I bought popcorn for once Cody arrived. I was still nervous and knew I had to explain to Gabe who was coming…But more importantly my feelings told me I was more worried about Cody meeting Gabe in general..
He hollered out to me in the kitchen, "Hey babe, can you grab me a coke from the fridge?"
I huffed, "Gabe, there's no coke."
"Lemonade?"
"No.", I snapped.
"Orange juice?", he questioned this time with more suspicion.
"No."
"Jesus Noah, don't you have anything in this rat hole?"
Hearing this. my fist tightened. He better have put his foot in his mouth.
I grabbed a cheap can of sparkling lemonade in the back of my fridge that I was keeping for the video watching. I stomped over to the living room and chucked the can at his slumped-over-the-couch stomach. He caught it before it rolled off and looked at me quickly giving me a nervous small smirk as he realized I was mad.
"Aw, so you did have lemo-"
"You couldn't bother to sit your ass up from the couch and get it yourself?", I snarled.
"What? You sit around your apartment all the time! I don't see wait the big deal is in asking for a favor!", he yammered on as innocently as he could.
"Whatevur.", I scorned at him. I examined his face to find him pouting. I rolled my eyes as he went and looked over at his wiggling toes.
He began speaking like a child, I don't know why he finds that to be appealing to me, "I'm sorry, will you sit next to me and forgive me?", I went ahead and listened to him, since I didn't really find the harm in what it can do. Almost like some kind of cat, he purred and rested his head comfortably on my shoulder.
"So..", he began, "Who's coming over? Sarah? Lina?"
I built up my courage within that very second and muttered, "Cody…"
Suddenly, his head flung up from my shoulder as his lips formed into a snarling like look and he furrowed his brow. He didn't try to make his jealously too obvious, but I could read Gabe always like a book. I knew him too well. He was the kind of guy that when we went around the more "guy on guy" parts of town and found someone checking me out, he would wrap his arm around me in a instant and reel me away somewhere else.
"Oh really? Who's Cody?"

My mom was going to drive me over to Noah's place. Okay, so what, I'm a little scared of driving. Plus it's a lot better to have someone drive you anyway! Hehe, I have my hands free to text…Well Noah being my only option, but that's awesome! Don't get me wrong! I mean, he text pretty fast too, but I wish he just wrote more.
He went ahead and quickly sent me his address. I guess he knew before hand I forgot to get it. That was pretty silly of me, I need to remember those things more often. Mind kick!
"Hurry mom, we don't have forever. Actually, we barely have time!", I gabbled anxious.
"Don't worry sweetie, we have time!", She hit the pedal and began driving. She told me how Noah didn't live that far away, which I couldn't ask for anything else. That's all I really wanted right now. I lay back in my seat and hummed the tunes she was playing in the car, suddenly a song turned up I haven't heard in awhile.
"I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside"
Closing my eyes I listened to every word of the lyrics carefully. Suddenly something hit me, I was nothing but excited, but what if I made a fool of myself in front of Noah? I squeezed my eyes a little tighter listening to the lyrics of my song trying to have it take care of my mind, but some vibe in me had the song make things worse as questions kept going in my head about all the things that could go wrong.
"Cody, were here honey."
I took a breath in, opened my eyes and smiled. Don't worry. Just chill. Be…Cool.

Ahhh! I'm the one writing and I'm scared! Yes, that is "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, I couldn't help myself. Try to figure out how it fits (and for the part "it was only a kiss" you can imagine what I meant! Haha)
R&R! ^^
