Carsyn
We pulled up to a white gate. "Hello Noah!" A female voice said coming from the speaker.
"Hi mom. Can you let us in?" Noah replied.
"Us?" The female voice questioned. "Well sure!"
"Noah! You didn't tell her I'd be coming?" I was scared since they weren't expecting me.
"It'll be fine. I promise!" Noah reassured me.
I finally saw the house. I reminded me of my house only bigger. Noah got out of the car and opened my door. He hugged me. "Don't worry they will love you!" I was still in shock from him hugging me.
"Noah, who might this be?" Noah's dad asked.
"This is Carsyn my new roommate."
"Hello Carsyn. Glad you could join us for dinner!" Noah's mom came peeping out of the door.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Sparks." I said acting like I wasn't scared.
Noah took my hand and walked me inside. Noah greeted me to his two dogs and then took me to his room. It was upstairs. We went down to the dinner table. "Mrs. Sparks, is there anything I could do to help?" I asked politely.
"No, no, sweetie. You are the guest!" Mrs. Sparks said nicely.
Noah pulled a chair out for me the sat down next to me. Mr. and Mrs. Sparks sat down just to talk before we ate.
"So," Mr. Sparks asked "what are you majoring in?"
"Dancing." I said with excitement.
"Oh you must be a great dancer! Maybe you could teach Noah something."
I laughed looking at Noah. The conversation was going good until Mr. Sparks said "What job does your dad have?"
I got teary and started thinking about finding my dad dead on the dock. Noah could tell something was wrong. I tried to hold my tears in by saying, "He died right before I came here. He used to be a brain surgeon." Noah hugged me.
"I'm so sorry to hear that!" Mr. Sparks said feeling bad.
The conversation got quieter. I tried to wipe away the images of my dad. It wasn't working. I excused myself to the restroom. I fixed up my makeup and hair. I got all of my emotions together and came back out. "Are you alright?" Noah asked sympathetically.
"I'll be fine." I said.
"Food is served!" Mrs. Sparks called. I soon forgot about my dad and had a great night.
Noah guided me to the dock with a swinging bench at the end. It made me think of my dad again. Images of finding him dead on the dock raced through my brain. Noah and I sat down on the swing. I cuddled into Noah's side. I looked at his face. His blue eyes seemed darker, more sympathetic. "I'm sorry." Noah said.
"About what?" I questioned.
"Your dad, that conversation, everything." Noah said
I looked up at him like he was crazy. He did nothing wrong. I felt bad. His baby German Shepered trotted down the dock and curled up next to Noah. "You did nothing wrong." I stated.
Noah replied by kissing my forehead and saying "I love you." I had many boyfriends before but Noah was the sweetest. I only knew him for less than twenty four hours and I already loved him.
"I love you too" I told Noah. I had no trouble saying it and it felt natural. We sat on the dock watching the Gulf. We didn't talk. We didn't have to talk. We just sat there and rested.
We said our goodbyes to Noah's parents and went to his car. Noah stood me against his car and kissed me. It felt so right. On the way home that was all I could think about.
