noel p.o.v.

i took a drink of my whiskey and coke. as i looked up to look at cody, i caught someone waving at me at the front entrance. it was her. when i first saw her video i thought that she was extremely cute, but when she said that i was her crush i was kinda shocked. i mean i know i have a lot of girls crushing on me but she was... different somehow. maybe it was because she wasn't one of those crazy fan girls that'll do anything to make me notice them. i decided to motion for her to come over. her smile was almost lightening the room and the dress she has on.. man. i got up from the bar stool when they came closer.

"hi guys" tessah tried giving cody a handshake but instead he went in for a hug. i did the same. not to be weird but she smelt amazing.

"hey girls, it's good to meet you two" i put my hands in my pockets. cody motioned for them to sit down. tessah and abi sat in the middle of cody and i.

"i'll have a cranberry vodka" abi said and signaled the waitress, "and she'll have a.." abi was waiting for tessah to answer but she was looking down at her phone. "tessah ?? dude what do you want ?" abigail once again tried to get her attention. i took a quick glimpse of her phone and saw she was texting her mom. i didn't see what the messages said, she quickly put her phone face down on her lap. it wasn't my business anyways.

"oh sorry um i'll take a shot of tequila please" tessah looked somewhat flustered. i looked up at cody then to abi. i could see that abi gave a confused look towards tessah.

"yeah i'll take a shot too" i said.

"yeah how about just four shots please" cody said. i think we all could tell the waitress was getting annoyed because the place was somewhat packed and we were taking forever to order. as we got our drinks, tessah took that shit straight away.

"are you okay ?" i leaned over to her, she turned her head.

"i just wanna have fun with you guys and just forget about other things okay ?" cody took his shot followed by abi.

"okay that's completely fine" i smiled at her, and she smiled back as i took my shot. "so tell me more about yourself"

tessah's p.o.v.

"oh god" i mumbled. the room was spinning around me. i haven't gotten this wasted since freshman year of college. the thing was i never wanted to get shitfaced when meeting noel and cody. but my mom texted me something that was a reoccurring thing that kept getting on my nerves. suddenly my body started shifting to my right out of my control. luckily noel was there. he didn't take as many shots as the rest of us. he was still a little drunk but not as much.

"hey are you good to stand ?" he asked me. i looked up at his somewhat blurt face. maybe i was too drunk but i really noticed how gorgeous his eyes were.

"hey are chu good to stand ?" mocking back at him, giggling. he looked over towards cody. cody was also laughing with me.

"oookay, lets get y'all home" when noel said that, i noticed that abi wasn't near us.

"hey where's abi ?" i struggled to stand so noel sat me back down next to cody.

"i think she went to the bathroom" he looked towards the restroom. "oh look there she is, i'm gonna help her walk, you guys stay here okay ?" we nodded our heads lazily and turned back to each other.

"you're a pretty cool chick you know that" i laugh at him.

"awee really ?"

"yeahhh" cody put his hand on my upper thigh. i noticed but i didn't care at that point. noel came back with abi by his side. she then put an arm around cody. they both shared a smile.

"hey girlllll where have you been ?" i managed to stand up to hug her.

"i was throwing up in the bathroom" we all started laughing. i smiled at noel and he smiled back. i noticed cody looking away from us. weird.

"we should most likely head outta here" noel grabbed my hand. abi threw up most of the alcohol in her system so she was able to help cody out. then i remembered something.

"i can NOT go home, my moms gonna kill me"
cody and noel looked at me weird.

"wait you still live with your mom ?" noel asked.

"yeah i need to stay there until i can pay off ma loans"

"ohh okay then. well my place isn't too far from here if we all just wanna crash there" holy shit, this is the first time i was meeting noel and he's already letting me crash at his house. i know it was for safe purposes but still. he turned towards abi and cody. cody was out of it, and abi was on her phone. "does that sound good to everyone ?" cody didn't show any opinion. abi picked up her head from her phone.

"yeah it's good, i told abi's mom that we'll be staying at a friends house tonight"

"okay i'll call an uber" noel payed for the drinks, then we headed outside. it was mid september so it was kinda chilly. i started rubbing my arms. "hey are you cold ?" noel asked.

"no i fink i'll be fine" he ignored my answer, taking off his jacket and putting it on my shoulders. it was so cliche but it was sweet.

next thing i know i'm stumbling through noel's doorway.

"okay so there's the guest bedroom, the couch, and my bedroom" noel said pointing to each location. cody managed to walk his way over to the couch and fell asleep right on impact. "okay well i guess cody has the couch" he chuckled a little.

"i'll take the guest bedroom" abi winked at me. i knew where she was getting at but then again i really couldn't think straight.

"okay well that bedroom has only a twin sized bed so only one person could fit on it", noel paused for a second, "so you can sleep on my bed and i'll sleep on the floor" i looked up at him with my eyebrows furrowed.

"no that's unacceptable, i'm not gonna sleep in your own bed, when you sleep on the damn floor. you should deserfe to sleep on your own bed." he shook his head, chuckling a little. i looked around the apartment. it was kinda messy but mainly clean. then i noticed that abigail already made it to the guest room, so it was just noel and i.

"okay well i just didn't know how you feel about me being in bed with you"

"i respect that, but remember the video thas i made ? i literally said that i would fuck you and cody. there's no problem with just laying in bed with you" we both started laughing. but i realized what i said so it turned into a nervous laugh.

"okay well let's head to the bedroom," he paused for a second just looking at me, "do you wanna sleep in that dress or do you wanna borrow some clothes of mine" a smirk showed up on my face.

"some different clothes would be nice, tank you" he nodded and helped me to sit on his bed. he then started looking in his dresser for a shirt and shorts for me to wear. as i sat there, i was looking at his back side. he wore a white fitted t-shirt, and black skinny jeans. he brought his arm back, i could see some of his back and arm muscles. it was quite sexy if you asked me. it's kinda weird but i just wanted to scratch and rub his back. he then handed me a white t-shirt that read "carhartt" on the front, and a pair of dark blue basketball shorts. i stumbled to the bathroom to get changed.

after i got done getting dressed, i washed my face to feel less drunk, and i just swished some listerine in my mouth because i figured my breath reeked of mad tequila. i walked out of the bathroom only to see noel was laying on the bed shirtless, on his phone. i had never seen a picture of noel shirtless before so it was all new to me. he had one arm behind his head, showing his biceps just right. looking down to see his perfect set of abs. he had perfect caramelized skin complexion. he then turned his heads towards me. shit. i quickly looked away, sitting on the bed. he started laughing.

"what are you laughing at mister ?" he sat up from the bed.

"my clothes weirdly fit you right" he looked at me and laughed. i then starting laughing too, looking down at myself.

"yeah they kinda do"

"well you look better in them then me" he gave me a crooked smile, which made my face feel hot.

"well thank you" i turned the light off and started getting into bed.

"tessah ?" i rolled over, to face him. finding him facing the same way.

"yes noel ?"

"um i just wanted to say that i'm happy that i got to meet you." we gave each other warm smiles.

"yeah me too"

"okay well goodnight, i'll see you in the morning" he lied on his back.

"goodnight" i rolled back over, smiling myself to sleep.
