CHAPTER 11
We are going to this new retro club in Hollywood. Michael's cool uncle owns the place, minors aren't suppose to be allowed but since we know the owner and it's Hollywood no one actually cares.
I dress up in a short chic skirt and a crop top and wear my jacket on top, I do my no makeup look and let my long hair down finally pairing everything up with high heels.Michael, Jasmine and I are going together. He comes to pick me up first."Damn, you look good so good," he says twirling me before we head out to his car."You also look so good too even more than me." I say to him admiring his cool shirt and Gucci jeans.Michael and I are soul best friends and not to brag but we also have the best style among our group of friends.
We head to Jasmines and park around the corner she's sneaking out, she isn't suppose to be out on a school night.We had texted we were on our way so she was waiting for us."Damn you guys look so good." She says admiring our clothes."And you look okay." Micheal says."Don't have to sound mean about it, I know I don't have your and Sofia's fashion sense." She says smacking his arm."Yeah but if you'll just let me give you a makeover." Michael says again."Micheal!" I say stopping them from arguing."So are you sure your dad won't know you're out." I ask changing the subject."Yeah he went to bed early, he had an early morning flight to Chicago and I stuffed my bed with pillows just Incase."We laugh at that."You two don't know how lucky you are you don't have strict parents." She says.
We arrive at the club and Zack, Jack, Paula and ofcourse Noah were already there.We meet them by the door and head in. "Just right on time" Paula says. "We just arrived too" she says."Hey babe you look so hot," Zack says giving me a hug. I want to say we're not dating anymore but I'm actually used to him being like that so I don't say anything and I like how Noah gives deadly stares to Zack when I let him hug me.
We head upstairs and sit on a sitting area.Micheal calls over the waitress and we order fancy fruity drinks, and also appetizers.There's music and the club is filled we retro 21 something year olds and there's also dancing."Let's go dance baby," Paula says to Jake.They stand up and head to the dance floor, Jasmine is talking to a girl by the bar leaving Michael, Zack , Noah and I alone."Let's dance too" Zack says to me.I look over to Noah before answering, as usual he looks like he doesn't care so I go dance with Zack."Baby don't you think we should get back together already," he says."Zack." I say looking at him. "I'm serious about us breaking up, you have to stop all this. It's our senior year shouldn't you be having fun." I say."We can have fun together." He says trying to kiss me. "No." I say pulling away."You really serious huh?" He asks."Yeah I am, Zack.""So you won't mind if I go over there and dance with someone else." He says pointing to a group of girls sitting at the other side of the floor."Yeah I won't mind." I say."Okay then, I better go get laid," he says. "I was never ever going to with you anyway." He says again referring to the fact we never actually had sex, it was like a punch to my throat the way he said it.He looked sorry immediately he said it. "I'm sorry Sofi, I didn't mean it." He says apologizing."It's okay Zack, let's not talk about it." I say leaving him on the dance floor. I walk over to Noah sitting alone, I carry my cranberry vodka and drink everything and then I ask him."Do you want to go and make out."He looks surprised that I asked but nods Yes.
No one was really paying attention to us so we slip downstairs and head to his car.I collect the car key from him and enter the back seat. He follows me into the back seat after pausing for a bit.I climb up his lap and kiss him immediately he closes the car door.He pulls away and ask. "Are you okay?""Yeah I'm good," I say bending down to kiss him again.He pulls away again. "Are you sure? Something is definitely bothering you." He says again.I try to climb out of his lap but he holds me still. "You can talk to me," he says looking straight into my eyes."It's nothing really, it's stupid." I say."Yeah you can still talk to me." He says moving my hair away from my face."Zack's just being an asshole." I say.He nods but doesn't say anything."He just said something that shouldn't bother me but it still did." I add.
"It's not stupid Sofía, if something bothers you it bothers you." He says. "You shouldn't feel ashamed that it bothers you." He adds again.I bend down and kiss him again. This time slowly using my tongue to gain access to his mouth. We pull away with our mouth still close breathing in thesame air as we stare at each other."Do you want to talk about it." He asks."No," I say. "Zack is just an asshole and he never meant to actually say it." I say.
"You deserve better than him." Noah says."Yeah?" I ask. "Maybe he's what I deserve." I say."No Sofía, you deserve so much better than him. He's not good enough for you." He adds."And are you good enough for me." I ask avoiding his eyes."No I'm not, you deserve better than me. So much better." He says."Is that why you ignore all the time," I ask now looking into his eyes.He tries to avoid my eyes now but I don't budge still looking into his eyes."Yes." He says. "I don't trust myself around you, I'm messed up Sofía and I don't want to hurt you. Sometimes it's just better to pretend you're not there even when all I notice is you." He says as he kisses my forehead.I didn't know what to say to that, I don't exactly even know what that means so I say "maybe you shouldn't pretend I'm not there, maybe you should give in to this, to us." I say touching his face.He doesn't say anything so I bend down and kiss him again. "Don't you feel this," I ask in between kisses."Us, You and I." I say kissing him again."I know," he says breathing in my mouth, "it's so good between us." He adds.
He brushes a loose strand of hair off my cheek. Then he holds my face his hands and kiss me. He kisses me harder and I'm kissing him back.My arms are wrapped around his neck, and he's up against me, grinding into me and then I'm laying down on the back seat of his car and I unzip my crop top, and he pulls off his shirt, and He says."You are driving me crazy. You have been driving me crazy for a while."His mouth is on my neck, and I'm making these gasping sounds, and he moans the most beautiful sound ever.
I'm just in my bra and he's shirtless, my entire body feels like it's going to fucking explode. His chest is hard and beautiful and warm, and I run my hand over his abs. He kisses me again and then his hand is sliding into the hollow between my stomach and my skirt.My phone starts to ring cutting us off, I ignore it and kiss him again but then both our phones start ringing again.We check to see it's Micheal and Zack calling.We pull away and put back our removed garments silently and head back inside."Where were you guys." Micheal asks as we joined them upstairs."Just saw friends of my brother's downstairs and Sofi and I stopped to say hi." Noah says.I look at him before nodding Yes at Michael."Anyway let's get ready to go, Jake and Paula are fighting about something" he says. "So she's following our car." He adds.We get ready to leave and head downstairs.Jasmine, Michael, Paula and I in the same car.Zack, Noah and Jake in the same car.Noah and I don't get a moment alone again so we don't talk about what we just did in his car and if it actually means we're giving us a shot.
CHAPTER 12The week went on quickly, Noah and I haven't seen or talked to each other alone since the make out session in his car.I saw him only during lunch in school, we only have one class together so we don't see much of each other.He wasn't his usual distance self but we didn't talk, he smiled at me mostly.I was getting frustrated because I thought things were getting good with us but I didn't let it keep me down.I got my early acceptance letter to NYU today. I haven't decided if I'm going there yet, I still h
CHAPTER 13Noah left late last night, I had fallen asleep already. I woke up feeling better the night morning. It's Saturday I have nothing to do, I'll probably just hang out with my friends later.I take a shower and go downstairs to eat breakfast, I find Noah waiting for me in the living room."Hey you," I say smiling. "When did you get in?" I ask."A while ago, went to your room but you were in the shower so I decided to wait for you downstairs." Noah says."Okay, I'm about to have breakfast. Want anything to eat?" I ask as he f
CHAPTER 14Noah’s POVShe's so beautiful. I have wanted to kiss her the moment I saw this morning wearing that beautiful simple dress. Then I saw how she was with her grandfather so attentive and loving. Today was one of the best days of my life, just being with her.
CHAPTER 15 Noah drove me home late last night. Let me just say yesterday was perfect, I haven't had a perfect day in a while but Noah made yesterday amazing. He kissed me goodnight and said he'll call me tomorrow.So I obviously woke up today with the biggest smile on my face. I take a shower, dress up and go downstairs to eat. I find my brother Lucas in the kitchen table eating.
CHAPTER 16It was finally Monday we're having breakfast before I leave for school. A family breakfast with dad and Lucas.My phone rings and I check to see who's calling."Sofía I thought I said no cell phones on the dining table." My dad says as I answer the call."But it's mom." I say answering.He doesn't say anything more he allows me to answer."Hey mom." I say."Hello my little baby. I miss you." She says."I miss you too." I say."What's going on with you, what's the latest." she asks. "Any boys I should know
CHAPTER 17Today went on fast. It is after school already, Noah had texted me and said we'll leave together we're going to his house. My dad has taken time off work and is home every time, Lucas is also home so I definitely can't a boy in my room. So I was excited to go to Noah's, atleast we'll have some privacy in his room.Jasmine and Paula stop me by locker after school."We're hanging out at Paula's place. You coming?" Jasmine asks."No can't today, going over to Irina's after school. Tomorrow though?" I ask."Irina? Noah's sister?" Jasmine asks. "We never hang out anymore." She adds.
CHAPTER 18I pulled away from him and turned to face him. I pulled off my sweater, undid my bra, pulled down my skirt leaving me in just my panties. And because the room was fully lit, I crossed my hands over my chest... well because. Because I was suddenly shy.Instead of pouncing, his head fell back on his shoulders and he groaned."You're going to kill me."Then he was reaching out to touch me again. A finger down my arm, a hand sweeping up my stomach until he cupped my breast. A kiss pressed against my collarbone.He pinched my nipples and pulled on them, watching the whole time what that did to my breasts. He stroked a finger through my pussy lips, barely touching my clit which was still covered by a thin layer of my panties, which made it even hotter.I laid on the bed, I watched his eyes as he watched me lay down on his bed. They got really super dark. Then I watched as he impatiently took off his clothes.
CHAPTER 19The week went on weekly, my dad and brother go to work together every day so Noah took me home every day and we made out in my room. We still haven't had sex yet, I'm not sure why but I can't wait for it to happen.We're all sitting at lunch, the guys are talking about the game later after school.When Zack asks if I want to go to Santa Barbara with him and his family. It's kind of a family tradition for them, it's his parents anniversary they met there and they always go there to celebrate every anniversary.When Zack and I were dating, I went with them all the time."Zack we're not together anymore, I don't think I should go." I say."C'mon Sofi my mom loves you, she asked me to invite you. It will mean alot to her if you'll go." Zack says."I don't know." I say looking over to Noah who was fuming."Please." Zack says again."Okay I'll go. I say. Only as friends." I add."Of course," he says hugging m
Sofia’s POV I wait for Noah to leave before I finally come out of our bedroom finding his mother in front of the tv.“So he asked you to babysit me.” She says immediately I join her.“No.” I say shaking my head. “He didn’t, I thought it’ll fun for us to spend the day together.” I add and she stares me like she’s trying to decide if I’m serious or not.“Okay then what do you want to do?” She asks after a bit.“Anything you want to do Mrs Alvarez.” I say and she frowns again.“Please call me Bianca and anything you want us to do is fine.” She says and I nod okay.&l
Sofia's POVThe buzzing of an alarm woke me, and I quickly shuffled around to turn it off before it woke Noah, who slept soundlessly beside me. After finally hitting snooze, I lay back down and stared at the ceiling with his legs still intertwined with mine and a smile on my face exhausted, sleep deprived, but smiling.I do not smile in the morning normally. I'm not a morning person I'm usually groggy."Why are you smiling, baby?" Noah whispered, his voice sleepy and tired.Glancing over at him, I saw his eyes were still closed as he lay on his side, facing me. The room was still dark this early in the morning, with little moonlit morning sky."How did you know I was smiling?""I can feel it."Turning on my side to face him, I ran my thumb across his lashes. "Because I'm happy."He exhaled before the corners of his lips turned up. He was the one who made
Sofia's POVNoah and I have been in Palm Springs for two week now. We spent the past two whole week settling in, everything has been surreal Noah has been absolutely amazing reminding of all the reasons I fell in love with him in the first place.I still feel guilty sometimes that I'm moving on while Jake isn't here but I'm trying to get past that so that means trying to be happy and being with Noah despite our past makes me happy.Today is my first day going to work at the my grandfather's winery, well now my winery. And also the very exotic resort I now own.I'm meeting with the appointed head of operations of the winery who in charge of running things, he's going to fill in on things."Miss Sofia Sanchez, right this way. I'm Richard Malcardi." A tall well dressed man introduces himself to me curtly motioning me into the winery."Richard Malcardi head of operations?
Sofia's POVNoah and I are leaving for Palm Springs in a day so I going back home today. First I stop to do some shopping by the time I get home it's late but that means both my parents should be home and my brother Lucas too. Lucas lives in New York but he's home for a few days.When I get home, one of the chauffeurs helps me with my lots of shopping bags, taking it upstairs to my room while I look for my parents.I don't actually have to look for them, I find them in the living room. My mom sitting on my dad's lap while they watch tv together. They really are the cutest couple, I love how they love each other so much even though I resent them sometimes for it."Hi." I say walking and my mom gets down from my dads lap when she sees me."Hello princess," my dad says getting up so I give him a hug and a kiss. "How are you?" He asks still holdi
Sofia's POVNoah and I have spent the whole weekend passed hold up here, in the pool house of his parents house. We haven't been out even for food, we ordered whenever we needed to eat to avoid going out. We have been completely cut off from everything and everyone, in fact both our phones have been off. And I have to say I love being all alone with him, everything feels easy us being alone.We have basically been doing nothing, just watching tv, then making love. Talking about everything but us, I don't think we're ready to talk about us. It's been so long since we have been together like this and I think we're both afraid something will ruin it hence the being alone and not talking about us but enjoying the hell out of each other.We're currently in bed, we just finished watching avengers endgame for the
Sofia’s POVAt exactly 1 in the afternoon I was at Noah’s parents house to pick him up. The house was just a block away from the old house so it was easy to find. I text him that I’m here and he says to come in, I go through the back because he said to meet him by the pool house.And I’m met with a surprise, Noah’s mom making out with the pool boy. Naked.“Oh God, I’m so sorry.” I say turning away.“Sofia.” His mom calls my name trying to find her top and just in time Noah finds us.His face strains as soon as he understands what’s going on.“Oh my God honey, I’m so sorry.” He mom says putting on her top while the pool boy nervously dressed up leaving.“What the hell mom?” Noah says with a frown. “And I thought dad was the problem.” He adds with a frown.“Don’t talk to me like that, I’m your mother.” His mom says with a frown.“Yeah? Well you’re not acting like a
Sofia’s POVOne session with Dr Pinto and I was done with therapy, the woman is a genius. It was a good session, we talked and talked and I think I’m good or getting there.I just needed to talk to someone who knows nothing about me, someone who doesn’t have any expectations, someone that wouldn’t judge about everything.I loved Jake and he loved me, but he’s not here now and I have to keep on living. Not for anyone, but for me.But most of all I feel so guilty for being with Noah, I have always loved him and I still have strong feelings for him. In a way I felt like I was cheating on Jake by being with Noah but I’m not and I’m allowed to move on, I know that.But moving on with Noah also poses so many different feelings from me, I loved him so much and he had hurt me and I have been hurt alot in the past year. I don’t know if I can handle anothe
Noah's POVWhen we get back to New York, I put her to sleep and falls asleep immediately while I think about talking to her tomorrow.She needs help and I don't know how to help her but I would like to try which means talking to her about it. As much as I hate talking, I read somewhere talking usually helps.I barely slept and when she wakes up she finds me sitting by the edge of the bed watching her,Now as then, when Sofia was in the room, the only person I saw was her.Her gaze seemed just as intent to stay locked on mine.Seconds passed like hours. Before either Sofia or I said a word."Hi." She was the one who spoke first because I was a fucking chickenshit, though even through the glass, I could hear a rasp in her voice that said this likely wasn't easy for her either.She knows we're going to have the talk about her.I cleared my throat as if I could clear the scratch
Noah's POVArthur Connelly and I met in college first day and we became friends in an instant. I'm not a friends kind of guy, I only have few friends. Before we moved to L.A I had a few guys I was cool with back in Miami but since we moved to L.A in senior year high school we kind of lost touch but then I became friends with Sofia and her whole friends group.When we broke up right before graduation I thought that was it with the new friends I made but weirdly I stayed friends with Michael, Zack and even Jake though we hardly spoke when he started dating Sofia.We just arrived at Arthur's party in The Hamptons, his house is huge. Like a villa beach house huge. It's filled up with people, music blasting through speakers.Immediately we walk in, Michael and Jasmine disperse into the party to go get drinks while Sofia and I make it in and upsta
