The Flynn Residence
Relaxing and sunbathing poolside, Elle couldn't help but sigh in contentment. It was the last day of summer break and junior year was about to start, so she wanted to enjoy the rest of her vacation as much as possible. The best way to do that, she figured, was spending time with her best friend, Lee Flynn, at his ridiculously awesome house.
And if she happened to spot her long-time secret crush, Noah Flynn, she wouldn't complain.
Elle sighed again, this time in resignation as she thought about the older Flynn sibling. Long ago, she and Lee had created rules to maintain their friendship and one of the biggest rules was number nine: "Relatives of your Best Friend are specifically off limits." While she had kept her feelings hidden, she couldn't help how they grew over the years. It was just like the saying, "You can't choose who you fall in love with."
But, she thought, aside from Lee freaking out if he were to ever find out, there was one other reason why she shouldn't – couldn't – fall for Noah.
"Hi, Elle. Hi, Lee," a sweet, feminine voice called out in greeting. It effectively brought Elle out of her thoughts, almost as if she had summoned the other young woman by just thinking about her.
Elle pushed her sunglasses up to peer at the newly arrived raven haired beauty. She couldn't help but smile back in greeting, waving. "Hey, Kagome," she called back.
Kagome Higurashi was a senior, who had transferred to their school when Elle and Lee had just been freshmen. They had met her at the arcade they frequented at the Santa Monica Pier while playing their favorite dance game, and the three had been friends ever since. She was sweet and smart, with silky raven tresses and amazing amethyst eyes. Her skin was like porcelain, soft and flawless, and her body was curved in all the right places. She was insanely popular with the guys, however, there was just one thing standing in their way of actually scoring a date with the raven haired beauty.
And his name was Noah Flynn.
Lee energetically waved at Kagome, grinning boyishly. He opened his mouth to give his own greeting, but was rudely cut off by his older sibling.
"Lee," Noah called, walking out onto the pool's deck, "have you seen my athletic cup?" He was currently shirtless, not caring in the least that he was in the presence of two females, and his jock shorts were low, revealing just how muscular and defined he was. He was 'stupid hot' and not afraid to show it.
Lee rolled his eyes, standing to face the older Flynn. "Yes, ass hat," he sarcastically answered. "I needed it for all of those varsity sports I've been playing, you know."
While Elle laughed at the byplay and Kagome lightly giggled at the usual display between the siblings, Noah rolled his eyes. As his gaze caught sight of their audience, a small smirk appeared on his handsome features.
"Hey, Shelly," he greeted, knowing Elle's feathers always got ruffled when he used that terrible name for the younger girl. When his eyes landed on the Asian beauty, his smirk widened. "Hey, Kagome."
Even as Elle bristled, frowning, Kagome smiled sweetly. "Hi, Noah," she responded, knowing he strongly disliked being called by his first name. In the background, Elle and Lee started chuckling.
Noah huffed before focusing his attention onto Lee once more. In the back of his mind, he plotted on ways to get back at Kagome. Revenge would be sweet, he knew, inwardly smirking evilly.
"Whatever. Listen, M and D will be out of town this Friday night, so party starts at eight." He pointed at Lee to add emphasis to his next words. "Don't invite any jackasses." He turned on his heel to head back inside, ending the conversation.
Lee innocently cocked his head to the side. "Does that include you?"
While he and Elle shared a laugh at the comeback, Noah froze for a second before grabbing a nearby football and throwing it at Lee's back. As the younger sibling yelped and fell into the pool from the unexpected attack, Elle burst into a laughing fit at her best friend's predicament.
Taking advantage of their distraction, Noah grasped Kagome's hand and tugged her into the Flynn residence without a word. The raven haired beauty didn't protest the action, silently following the handsome jock.
"Ow," Lee complained, surfacing and pulling himself out of the pool. He cringed. "What an ass."
Elle couldn't help how her gaze followed Noah's posterior, eyes glazing slightly with desire. "I know," she said, admiration coloring her tone.
"Hey, hey, hey," her best friend protested, giving her a warning look. "Rule number nine, young lady!"
"Oh, come on," she sputtered in denial. "As if!"
Lee gave her a mocking look. "Yeah, well, you have a little bit of drool on your chin." He pointed at his own chin to add emphasis, further mocking the pretty brunette.
"I do, do I?" she responded. She quickly located another pool toy and easily threw it at Lee. She laughed and watched with pure amusement as he fell back into the water with a loud splash.
When he resurfaced this time, he was also laughing. Pulling himself out of the pool once more, he took a seat beside Elle. "You know," he started, "I just don't get it."
Elle playfully rolled her eyes. "Uh, dude, you're going to have to be a bit more specific."
"My brother and Kagome," he clarified, gesturing to where the two disappeared. "I mean, she's so nice and pretty and smart… And he's so…" he trailed off, his face scrunching up in disgust. "What could she possibly see in that guy?"
It was no secret that Lee had a small crush on Kagome since the moment he'd laid eyes on her. The only person he'd told was Elle since rule number two stated, "Never share our secrets with anyone else." However, Elle also knew that Kagome only ever had eyes for Noah, and vice versa. The moment those two met literal sparks had flown between them. It was the reason why the pretty brunette knew nothing would come out of her crush on the older Flynn sibling.
But Lee was her best friend and she ultimately wanted to see him happy.
"Well, it doesn't sound like they're currently together," she awkwardly tried to reassure, wincing at her own words. "I mean, you heard her call him by his first name. That only happens when they're not dating." Their on-and-off again relationship was constantly talked about. The two could sometimes fight like cats and dogs. "Maybe you could try asking her out on a date?"
Lee heavily sighed. "Nah. Knowing my brother, if I even tried asking her out, he would beat me up," he said. Shaking his head, he smiled widely as he changed the subject. "So, tomorrow. First day of school. The student council is expecting our dance club idea this week for the fall fundraiser."
"And we're going to be in big trouble if we don't come up with something fast," she finished, cringing at the thought. He made a face too. "So, any ideas?"
KH*NF*KH*NF
After pulling Kagome into his room, Noah closed the door securely behind them before turning his attention onto her. He eyed her current outfit, gaze heating as he imagined what she had on underneath the pretty sundress. She looked especially adorable in the matching rubber slippers she wore on her delicate feet, but he would never admit it out loud. Instead, he leaned back against the door, arms crossed.
"Mind telling me what you're doing here?"
Kagome nonchalantly leaned against his desk, affecting the same pose. She raised a single brow. "Lee invited me to go swimming," she answered. "It is the last day of summer break, so I wanted to enjoy it with my friends."
Noah scoffed, amusement shining within his eyes. "You mean you didn't come over because you knew I would be coming back home?"
It was her turn to scoff, the sound distinctly more ladylike. "Oh, right. You were away at football camp, right? I had completely forgotten." They both knew it was a lie. They had broken up right before he'd left. It was from a silly argument that they'd both forgotten about within a couple of days of being separated.
"Now I know you're lying," he said matter-of-factly. He pushed away from the door to cage her body against the desk. Standing at six-foot-four, he easily towered over her petite stature of five-foot-five. He leaned down until he could whisper into her ear, "I know you missed me."
Kagome turned her head away from his ministrations, using both hands to try to push him back, push aside the rising temptation he aroused within her. But the moment her palms made contact with his hard, naked chest, she knew she was fighting a losing battle. "Miss you? Think again, Noah."
Noah grabbed one of her hands, lacing their fingers together, while the other tangled within her hair. He used his grip on the silky strands to tilt her head back and towards him. Hazel connected with amethyst, neither able to look away from the other, their breaths mingling from how close they were to each other.
"Kiss me," he quietly demanded. "Kiss me and make me believe you actually meant what you said." It was a dare, plain and simple. He was silently daring her to prove that she no longer had any feelings for him. They were both hardheaded individuals.
"Fine," Kagome snapped. Quick as lightning, she closed the gap between them and kissed him forcefully. He returned the gesture with equal passion, their tongues, teeth, and lips tangling heatedly.
Noah easily lifted her onto the desk, comfortably standing between her legs. He released his hold on her long enough to grip her knees, pulling her body closer to his until he could snuggly fit his pelvis in the junction between her spread thighs. They both groaned at the heat the other gave off, their desire skyrocketing until they became almost desperate.
When he rocked against her, she ran her nails down his back, leaving red trail marks. He groaned at the slight pain mixed with pleasure, and rocked against her again.
"Flynn," she moaned, eyes darkening to violet with the sheer need she felt.
In response, he lifted her from the desk, her legs automatically wrapping around his waist for balance. With a small, smug smirk he tossed her onto his bed. Following her down, he pinned her to the soft mattress and slanted his lips over hers again.
She could feel his erection through their clothes, and she ground against it the best she could from her position. How did she always find herself in this position? Why couldn't she just resist him? Say no?
It was so typical of them. They fought, broke up, and the next thing she knew, he had somehow lured her back in. She blamed his stupidly hot smirk, his stupidly hot body, his stupidly… stupid-ness.
As if in retaliation from her thoughts, she harshly bit his bottom lip. He tensed, obviously startled, before pulling back to stare at her. They were both panting, trying to catch their respective breaths.
Noah licked his bottom lip, checking to see if she managed to break the skin. Her little bite had unexpectedly heated his blood to the boiling point. Images of how he wanted to take her, claim her as his, flooded his mind.
Although her eyes were heated with desire, Kagome stared at him defiantly. "This doesn't mean we're back together," she said, her tone taking on a proper and dignified tone.
He chuckled seductively as his hands released her to flip up her dress and tug teasingly at the swimsuit bottom underneath. His fingers dipped under the material, finding her hot and ready for him. She reluctantly moaned at the sensation, hips arching for a better feel. "Whatever you say, babe." He knew he had her. No matter what she said, he knew she belonged to him as much as he belonged to her. It was why they couldn't stay apart for long. It was inevitable.
She watched as Noah divested himself of his jock shorts, one hand digging into his bedside drawer for a condom. She bit her lip as he rolled it on his impressive erection, tugging aside her swimsuit, knowing what came next, and not having the strength to deny him.
Even as he lined up his cock with her entrance, she couldn't help but repeat, "We're not back together, Noah." Her voice took on a desperate edge, though her body disagreed with the way it eagerly awaited his intrusion. "We're not."
"Keep telling yourself that." He thrust forward in the next instant, seating himself as deeply as he could. Both groaned out loud at the feeling. He withdrew halfway before thrusting forward once more, setting a hard, rough pace that had them burning for more.
KH*NF*KH*NF
Once sated, they cuddled for a while before Kagome finally decided to move. She stood, reaching for her discarded clothes, but paused when Noah's hand clasped around her wrist.
"Stay," he said. "At least stay for a few more hours. I'll give you a ride home later."
Kagome released a huff, easily breaking his hold on her. She continued getting dressed, pointedly looking away from him. She knew if she looked at him, she would give in and tumble back into his bed. She had to be strong, especially if she planned on resisting him and his charms. "Despite what happened, I told you that it doesn't mean we're back together, Noah," she replied. "Besides, if I can get here on my own, I'm sure I can find a way back to my house – without your assistance."
Noah flopped back against his pillows, arms gathered behind his head to keep himself propped up. A smirk touched his handsome features. "That's what you said the last time, you know," he said. "And the time before that, too."
She threw a scathing look over her shoulder. Her hand rested on the doorknob, prepared to exit his bedroom. "This time, I'm planning to make it stick." Without another word, she left, closing the door with finality.
Despite his amusement over the situation, he frowned softly as her words echoed within his mind. It had sounded like a vow, like she actually meant it this time.
He blew out a heavy breath. He definitely couldn't let that happen. Though they tend to argue a lot, she meant more to him than anyone else in his life. It's not like he wanted to keep fighting with her, but they were both so hardheaded it was inevitable. He would just have to prove to her that they were meant to be together once and for all.
Noah stood from his bed, intending to take a shower, while his mind buzzed with ideas on just how to accomplish that. Knowing Kagome, he knew he had his work cut out for him.
But she's worth it. She's worth everything.
KH*NF*KH*NF
The Next Day
Kagome self-consciously pulled at the hem of her skirt, mentally cursing her luck. When she'd woken up that morning, her uniform's pants had ripped, and her backup pairs had still been at the drycleaner's. The skirt she'd received her first year attending the school had been her backup's backup, and she was absolutely not thrilled. The skirt had shortened and shrunk from the multiple times it had been washed since then, and it now reached indecent levels. It was even shorter than her middle school skirt from Japan!
Lee and Elle were doing their best to make her feel better about the situation, but they knew nothing was working. Elle had offered to loan her a pair of pants, but both girls knew they weren't the same size. Lee had tried to be encouraging, though Kagome didn't appreciate the way his eyes would roam down to her exposed legs and thighs. She had nearly thrown a fit when he tried walking behind her, knowing that the slightest breeze would reveal her underwear for anyone to see. She was consoled when Elle slapped him upside the head.
Ignoring how the male population ogled and wolf-whistled at her appearance, the raven haired beauty did her best to take her mind off of her current predicament. "So, do you guys have any ideas about what to do for the fall festival?" she inquired.
Elle shot Lee a deadpanned look. In response, he laughed nervously. "I know, I know," he said in a placating manner, holding his hands up in surrender.
The pretty brunette rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Thank you," she responded. She focused her next words to the Asian beauty. "Not yet, but our proposal is due by the end of this week."
Unseen by the chatting trio, Noah sat on his motorcycle as he watched a specific raven haired female with a deep frown on his face and brows furrowed. While he did enjoy the view of so much exposed skin, he did not appreciate the way everyone else was gazing at her. What had she been thinking when she walked out of her house dressed like that? That was something he needed to immediately fix.
The three friends had almost made it to the staircase leading up into the main building when another student suddenly slapped Kagome's backside. The raven haired beauty startled, eyes wide, as she whipped around to face her harasser and to further protect her lady bum from being assaulted again.
Lee instantly stood protectively in front of Kagome, eyes narrowed in anger. "What the hell, Tuppen?" From Kagome's other side, Elle was frowning deeply and looked ready to pounce on the other guy.
"It-It's okay, Lee." Kagome laid a gentle hand on his arm, trying to pull him back from starting a fight. "It's fine. I can handle this."
"Yeah, relax, tiny Flynn," Tuppen mocked, getting into Lee's face, a wide grin on his face.
The younger male scowled in response. "How about I relax your face?" he shot back.
"Lee, it's okay. I got this—"
Kagome's protests went ignored as Lee raised his fist, fully intent on letting it fly into Tuppen's smug features. However, his action backfired as the older male easily caught his hand within his own, twisting it in the opposite direction.
Lee cringed, mentally cursing at himself. "I did not think this through," he said, mostly talking to himself. He closed his eyes, preparing to get pummeled and for the pain that would come next.
Kagome and Elle tried their best to break the two apart, both girls nearly yelling in hopes of stopping the fight. "No. No, no, no," the former protested, panicked.
Lee's savior came in the form of Noah Flynn appearing out of nowhere and punching Tuppen in the face. The momentum pushed the two fighters a few feet away, where they proceeded to pound the other into the ground.
"Noah," Kagome exclaimed as she watched her ex get on top of Tuppen, his fist raised to punch the other male repeatedly. She wanted to stop the violence, but she knew better than to try to get between them. If she did, one of them could accidentally hit her and it would make the entire situation more dire. "Noah, stop it. That's enough!"
Having heard the ruckus, the principal appeared and pulled the two boys apart. Even though Tuppen tried to get one last shot in, Noah only smirked tauntingly as if daring him to try it. Both knew exactly who the winner was.
"All three of you in my office, now!" the principal yelled. "The rest of you: get to homeroom." He dragged the two students with him, and Kagome silently followed behind them with a despondent expression on her face.
As she was leaving, the last thing she heard was Lee say, "That douchebag! He even gets credit for my fights." And then she heard the telltale slap from Elle as she reprimanded her best friend with another hit upside his head. Kagome couldn't help but nod in approval at the other girl's actions. If she hadn't been about to face the dreaded principal's office, she would have done the same thing.
She mentally sighed. She really had the worst luck.
KH*NF*KH*NF
Principal's Office
While Kagome was having a mini heart attack, Noah casually fiddled with his phone. The raven haired beauty wasn't used to getting into any type of trouble, let alone being sent to the principal's office, and it showed in the way she nervously sat on the edge of her seat. Her mind buzzed through worst case scenario after another, and she was tempted to chew on her fingernails to help alleviate her agitation.
Finally having enough, she turned to her male companion. She scowled at the way he nonchalantly played a game while he waited for his fate to be decided.
"Why did you do that?" she harshly whispered.
"Lee was in trouble," he responded like it was obvious. Unlike her, getting into fights and being sent to the principal's office wasn't new. He sprawled in his chair, getting comfortable as he continued to play his game.
She rolled her eyes. "Any excuse to start a fight, right?"
Noah looked up, an arrogant expression painted across his face. He didn't even appear the slightest bit ruffled, his hair perfectly styled. "I don't start fights. I just finish them," he corrected. His eyes softened as he continued to stare at her. "Besides, no girl should be treated like that, especially if that girl is you."
Her heart fluttered at his words. She couldn't help it. She always fell for it when he said things like that. It was mostly because she knew he meant it.
And then he destroyed whatever fuzzy feelings she may have been feeling when he pointed at her skirt with a highly disapproving look on his face. "What is the deal with that skirt, anyway? Wearing something like that is just asking for it. What were you thinking when you left your house dressed like that? I'm surprised your mom even let you."
Incredulous, all she could think to say was, "My pants ripped this morning as I was getting dressed for school."
"Then why didn't you wear your backups?"
Almost wanting to scream from frustration, she gritted out, "My backups are all at the drycleaner's. These are my backups to my backups."
Noah raised a brow, clearly unsympathetic. "You could've called me. I would've picked up your clothes and brought it to your house," he said. "We would've been a little late to school, but at least you would've avoided all of this."
"Are you saying all of this is my fault?" she sputtered. "I never asked for you to get involved, let alone start a fight with Tuppen, Noah. I would've handled the situation on my own."
He straightened in his seat, eyes narrowed with his own frustration. "Of course I would've gotten involved, Kagome. If someone – anyone – decides to mess with you, I'm going to step in. It's always been that way, and it's going to stay that way." His voice calmed as he gazed directly into her amethyst eyes. "You know I would do anything to protect you."
Again, her heart fluttered at his words and Kagome could feel herself being sucked into his universe once more. She could drown within his hazel eyes, never surfacing for long periods of time if she let herself.
Looking away from pure temptation wrapped in a handsome package, the raven haired beauty quietly sat as she waited for her turn with the principal. She was trying to break away from the endless cycle she found herself in with Noah Flynn.
Wasn't she?
KH*NF*KH*NF
The Higurashi Residence
After the hectic day she'd had, Kagome was glad to be home and locked within her bedroom. She was thankful the principal hadn't been too hard on her, only punishing her with one day of detention. The only rule she'd broken had been the dress code, but she'd been so sure he would blame her for causing the fight between Noah and Tuppen that she expected to be expelled.
Sighing, she pulled out all of the supplies she would need to complete her homework. When her phone chimed, signaling a text message, she paused to look at who it was. Flynn. She should really change his contact information to 'Noah' just to spite him, she thought.
Swiping her finger across the screen, she read his text message.
So, what was the verdict?
She frowned, knowing he was asking about what happened in the principal's office. She debated if she should tell him or not then shrugged. Would it really hurt to tell him?
I was told my skirt was ridiculous, she typed.
She lightly giggled when she received his response. She could picture him rolling his eyes at his phone.
I could have told you that. In fact, I believe I did.
All you said was that I was asking for it, she replied smartly. She was tempted to stick her tongue out, too, but refrained.
His response came seconds later. You were. A second message popped up. What did the principal say?
I got detention tomorrow after school.
I'll see you there. Goodnight. Make sure you dream about me.
Kagome pouted at her phone's screen. She refused to let him have the last word. Typing out her response with almost violent jabs of her thumbs, she hit send when she was done.
KH*NF*KH*NF
The Flynn Residence
Lounging in his desk chair, Noah awaited the chime that would alert him to a new text message. When it dinged, he immediately swiped his screen to see how the raven haired beauty had responded to his last message.
He couldn't fight the grin that stretched across his face.
Dream of you? I would rather not have any nightmares.
In response, he sent the kissy-face emoji before locking his phone and settling in to start on his homework. He couldn't help but chuckle as he imagined the outraged look on her face. Kagome had always been easy to rile, and it was extremely sexy when she was angry. He wished he could see her facial features at that moment, but assured himself that he would be able to see her the next day at school.
KH*NF*KH*NF
Detention
Wishing to pass the time by studying, Kagome was interrupted by someone tapping her shoulder from behind. After double checking to make sure the teacher on duty was still napping at his desk, she turned around to see the male student seated behind her holding a folded piece of paper with her name on it. Curious, she accepted it.
Opening it cautiously, she was greeted with "I'm sorry" written in permanent marker.
Glancing over her shoulder again, her eyes connected with Tuppen's. She gave a small smile of gratitude for his apology, knowing most guys wouldn't even make the attempt at forgiveness.
Seeing as he had her attention, Tuppen got the same student who passed her the first note to give her a second folded piece of paper.
From his own desk, Noah narrowed his eyes at the exchange, sitting forward in his chair. He definitely did not like how things were developing in front of him.
Kagome unfolded the paper, eager to see what else had been written. In the same permanent marker, the question, "What do I have to do to get your number?" was inked onto the page. She was rather flattered that someone else was showing interest in her. Maybe dating someone new was what she needed to finally get over Noah?
She peeked flirtatiously back at Tuppen. He grinned, mouthing, "Come on." Turning to face forward again, she thought about her response for a second before an idea came to mind and she quickly scribbled it down. Ripping the paper out of her binder, she passed her note back.
Noah was just about ready to burst out of his seat and drag Kagome out of the room with him. As it stood, he could only watch incredulously as she and Tuppen openly flirted in front of him. What was she thinking? If she wanted to exchange notes with someone, it should have been him.
Jealousy was an emotion he wasn't familiar with, and he definitely did not like it.
Tuppen read her note. His amusement was clearly seen as he looked back at her. He again mouthed, "Really?" When she nodded, grinning, he conceded to her request with a gracious nod of his head.
Kagome didn't honestly think the jock would do it, so she turned back to finish her homework. But it had been fun to flirt again, to sneak notes back and forth. She hadn't felt that type of thrill for a long time.
Her stupid heart, however, still yearned for one Noah Flynn.
KH*NF*KH*NF
Detention was nearly over when the door at the very back of the classroom loudly opened. It startled the teacher on duty awake, and everyone focused their attention onto the sudden intrusion.
Kagome laughed, one hand cupping her mouth to hide her amusement as Tuppen confidently strode inside dressed in his football jersey and a short skirt. It exposed his muscular calves, and the way he posed for his audience was hilarious. He received various laughs, wolf-whistles, and applause from the other students – except from one clearly displeased Noah.
Tuppen struck another pose, winking at the raven haired beauty. She shook her head in disbelief, still laughing at his antics. He had actually done it. He had actually gone through with her request. That meant she only had one thing left to do.
Scribbling her number down on a piece of paper, she handed it to the outrageous male. What else could she do? A promise was a promise, and she was a woman of her word. The only exception stood at six-foot-four and could be as hardheaded as her.
Mentioned male narrowed his eyes, lips pursed, as he forcefully stopped himself from reacting. It wouldn't serve him any good if he started another fight – in the middle of detention of all places – so he plotted instead. Tuppen needed to learn his place, Noah figured, and he needed to learn that Kagome was off limits.
He knew exactly what needed to be done.
KH*NF*KH*NF
The Flynn Residence
On the night of her and Tuppen's date and after being stood up, Kagome was fuming as she marched up the Flynn's driveway to confront Noah about the things that had been revealed to her that night. That stupidly hot football jock had a lot to answer for and she intended to get all of the information even if she had to strangle it out of him.
Or maybe I'll just strangle him, she concluded, steam practically pumping out of her ears she was so angry and upset. She liked to think she was a calm and kind person, but Noah had ways of bringing out the worst of her emotions, homicidal tendencies included.
It didn't matter that he also brought out the best of them, too. At the moment, she just wanted to murder him.
Ringing the doorbell incessantly, she impatiently waited for Noah to answer the door. She had called him ahead of time to make sure she knew his location before arriving to yell at him, so he should be expecting her (and an earful).
When the door opened, Kagome was greeted with a Noah only dressed in boxers and a smug look on his face. His hair was still mildly damp, obviously having finished a shower sometime ago. She was too angry however to admire his state of sexiness and cut right into the heart of the matter.
She jabbed her pointer finger into his chest. "How dare you, Noah Flynn," she practically screeched. "You have absolutely no right to do what you did! You don't control my life."
"I beg to differ," he replied, raising an amused brow. He was obviously not intimidated by her anger. "Why don't you come inside? You can continue to yell at me in the privacy of my room. I wouldn't want the neighbors to start spreading rumors."
"I will keep yelling at you," she responded, stomping into the residence. She didn't let loose again until they were securely behind the closed doors to his bedroom. "I want an explanation, Noah. I deserve to know what you think you're doing."
Noah shrugged nonchalantly. "Clearly, Tuppen doesn't believe any pair of boobs is worth a broken nose," he said.
"My boobs happen to be amazing," she shouted defensively, not realizing what she had said until he chuckled. Embarrassed by her outburst, she felt her cheeks heat with a blush.
"That is something we both can agree on."
"Shut up, you pervert," she snapped. "Don't compliment me when I'm angry with you."
He grinned boyishly. "Does that mean I can compliment you when you're not angry with me?"
Her fingers twitched with the need to wrap around his neck and strangle him. Instead, she took a deep breath and let it out in a big whoosh of air to help calm her nerves. Voice steady, no longer shouting, she said, "Be honest with me. It wasn't just Tuppen you threatened. He told me you were telling all of the guys not to ask me out or they would regret it. Why would you do that?"
Quicker than she would have expected, Noah was suddenly standing in front of her. His hazel eyes were solemn as he gazed down at her, one hand reaching up to tenderly cup her cheek. "Do you really have to ask, Kagome?"
No, her heart whispered. No, she didn't. She knew, had always known in fact. But she hadn't wanted to admit it, hadn't wanted to voice what she had instinctively known all along. To do so meant she could never break the cycle they were constantly reliving. It meant playing the same old song over and over again.
But it was also the reason they kept coming back to each other just as often.
"You love me," she softly said, warmth blooming within her chest. That was the sensation – that was the feeling she had been missing but could only ever find when in his embrace.
Noah smiled. He leaned down until their foreheads touched. "That's something else we can agree on," he replied.
Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck. "Kiss me."
"Only if you say we're back together," he bargained.
A beautiful smile curved her lips upward. "Will you accept 'I love you' instead?"
"That works."
In the next second, the raven haired beauty squealed as she was tossed onto the mattress.
