Something blooming
Noelle woke up at her usual time, her brain just makes her wake up at 6 , even on weekends. Noelle took a good moment to realize her surroundings. With her sleeping the ground. Akarsha was still on Noelle, cuddling her. Noelle tried to squeeze out without waking up Akarsha, she did stay up quite late for her afterall, wouldn't wanna disrupt her sleep too hard.
As Noelle got up from the floor, she reached out for her phone. She got hundreds of texts from her mother, ranging from apologies to threats, but she wasn't bothered enough to reply.
Todays gonna be one complicated hell of a day isn't it.
Noelle went to the bathroom and took a shower grabbing essentials from her bag, brushed her teeth. And then, what to do now, its still very early and Im not approaching Akarsha's parents by myself *Looks down* Proceeds to see cute Akarsha in her pajamas.
Meh, a little more cuddling can't hurt Noelle proceeded to squeeze her way back into Akarshas arm.
Alot of time passed by as Noelle just kept holding Akarsha tight until finally.
"Mrvvvhsh ughhhhh" Akarsha woke up and was looking around and sees Noelle, who by this point have already backed up.
"Hey frenchie, mornin" Akarsha looked quite groggy. "Hey Akarsha. Good sleep you had?" "*Yawnnnnn* Yeah it was pretty good, uhh what time is it."
"9:24"
"Kay" Akarsha got up and went to do her morning routine.
At the time, Noelle went and checked her phone, a few texts from Diya and more texts from her mom. She wasn't bothered to answer her mom so she looked at Diya's text.
8:43
Diya: Hey Noelle, are you free to study tomorrow , Min and I wants a revision.
9:27
Noelle: Yes, i am quite avaliable. Could Akarsha come too?
9:30 Diya: Yeah sure, you're the one inviting her, right? Noelle: Yes. So tomorrow at what time.
Diya:10?
Noelle: Agreed
Akarsha got done with her morning routine. And came out of the bathroom. "So Diya invited me to study tomorrow, would you like to come." "Yeah sure, why not" "So, lets go talk to my parents then?" Akarsha suggested. Noelle nodded, preparing for the worst. "They're pretty chill, I'm sure it'll be alright" Akarsha tried to reassured Noelle.
Noelle flashed back a small smile.
"Oh yeah, you are not allowed to mention about what happened yesterday in uhh bed, or I will kill you" Noelle proclaimed. "Ooh kinky" "Anyways, c'mon lets go"
"Hey Akarsha honey breakfast is ready!" Her mom shouted to Akarsha's bedroom
"Coming!" Akarsha walked into the room, Noelle followed.
Noelle sat near Akarsha. And so Akarsha's mom came into the room with the breakfast. She took a glance at Noelle.
"You brought Noelle over? This early?
"Well, basically uhhhh like she-"
Akarsha was cut off by Noelle
"I can take it from here"
"So basically I don't have a place to live so Please allow me to stay, I will pay rent and get my own food, just please allow me to stay"
"Yeah I see no problems here, you can sleep in the guest bedroom I suppose"
"Thank you mam"
"Its fine, really, oh yeah i have abit of leftover breakfast, want some?"
"Yes, thank you, again"
Breakfast went off without a hitch. Noelle then went unpack some stuff from her bag into the guest room.
After unpacking, she got up on her bed trying to get comfortable
It was a relaxing time in her new would be room.
12:17
And a knock on the door.
"Hey Frenchie!"
"Hello Akarsha, what do you want."
"My mom is quite busy this afternoon, so she gave me some money to go buy MickeyDs. You comin?"
"Yeah, I'm coming." Noelle got up from the bed and followed Akarsha outside to where shes leading to the McDonalds.
Akarsha was explaining and trying to familiarise Noelle to the area. And so they reached the McDonalds
They enter and its a pretty standard McD, grease on the floor, simple layout.
Akarsha signaled for Noelle to grab a table then stated
"Aight I'm ordering, whatcha getting."
"Just Fillet fish and coke, if you make it a meal, you'll have to finish all the fries."
"Will do, French Rabbit" Akarsha then went to the counter and ordered before Noelle could make a comeback.
After a bit, Akarsha came back with the food with a Big Mac, a Fillet fish, 2 medium fries, 2 Cokes and some Ketchup. Akarsha grabbed both the fries for herself, Noelle wasn't gonna finish the fries so, she didn't really care.
Noelle finished her Fillet fish, and was still a bit hungry, she didn't really expect to still be hungry but she thought the unpackong might've upped her metabolism.
Sees Akarsha's fries, which still had alot.
Grabbing some couldn't hurt
Noelle reached out and grabbed a handful of fries
Noelle put them on her box and slowly nibbled her fries , she looked up to see Akarsha who was staring at her
"Why are you looking at me like that"
"Oh oh, sorry. I didn't uhh I didn't mean to just uhhhh"
Akarsha's words faded down
"Just what" said Noelle who was raising her eyebrow at this point
"cu-iut-iut" Akarsha said in a very quiet way
"I don't.... what?"
"CUTE, okay? I think the way you eat the fries is cute and I don't know why I haven't seen it before"
"Uhhhhh, well" Noelle didn't really expect the response and was very much caught off guard "I guess its because I usually get full from only eating the burger, this time I'm still rather hungry"
The air was awkward, until Akarsha muttered up
"If you cut off your legs, where would it hurt"
"The legs?"
Akarsha stared back.
"The cutoff leg wound would hurt"
"Buttttttt would it?"
"Yes"
"BUTTTTTTT would it"
Noelle just kinda gave up and got on her phone.
Akarsha and Noelle were just browsing their phones while finishing the fries (5:1 ratio of Akarsha:Noelle)
Until there was two left. One medium and one long.
"You can have it, I'm full" Noelle said
"Aw c'mon Frenchie, thats no fun. Lets have fun fighting for it"
"Ugh fine, what do you have in mind"
"Lets uhhh play the pocky game with the fries"
"Uhhhh what?"
"The pocky game, the one where 2 people hold a pocky together, ....... with their mouth."
"And how do you win?"
"You get to the middle of the pocky, or in this case, the fry, its pretty long, should be fun"
"Alright so basically, we do the long one and whoever got the middle, gets the medium long one. Yeah okay sounds fun."
Akarsha looked surprise, Noelle didn't quite understand why Akarsha was so surprised, just get to the middle, pretty simple.
And we get into it and Akarsha initiated it and put one side into her mouth and Noelle took the other and then realized it. Ah, getting to the middle would mean our faces will be very closed to each other.
But, they were already in the moment, Noelle feared it would be weird to back out now since Akarsha thought that Noelle thought she was okay with getting up and real close.
And so, they slowly nibbled through to the middle, which was marked with ketchup. They go about halfway through their respective side before Akarsha started speeding up, Noelle also sped up, and faster and faster. The middle was a so close to them both.
And they clashed their mouth on the middle..........
They kinda just stay in that kissing position.
After a good 4 seconds Noelle backed up.
"Sorry, uhh sorry" Noelle said, blushing deeply.
Akarsha was just standing ther, like in a state of shock.
"Akarsha?" Noelle tried to get Akarsha's attention.
Akarsha looked like she just snapped back to reality.
"Hmm what? Whats happening now."
"Akarsha, are you having a stroke, we're at a McDonalds and we're about to leave."
"That wasn't a dream? I felt like something way too incredible happened for it to be real."
"Uhhhhh we uhhh, had an interaction in which our mouths may or may not have had physical contact for extended long amounts of time"
"What?"
"I explained it now I have no legal obligations to elaborate further."
"Are you a lawyer?"
"Irrelevant, anyways who is gonna finish the last fry, we had a tie in our last competition so how will this go?"
"Cut it in half?"
"Okay, yeah just cut it."
Akarsha ripped it in 2 and give 1 to Noelle.
They finally ate it and paid and were on the walk back.
They are now back at Akarsha's house.
13:16
"Well i'm gonna study, in my room. You have fun then."
"Aw c'mon Frenchie, not gonna invite your ol' buddy ol' pal to your study session."
Noelle signed
"You can come if you'd like I suppose"
They entered Noelle's room, Akarsha brought a chair in.
They studied for quite a good while, well, Noelle was, Akarsha was just there annoying Noelle or emotionally supporting Noelle, the difference between the 2 are either otherworldly or nonexistent, not even Noelle knows.
17:57
"Kids! Dinners ready!" Akarsha's mom shouted out
"Alright, Noelle c'mon lets go, oh yeah, you also have to meet up with my bro and dad"
Noelle wasn't sure if she was ready but she really had to if she wanted to live here.
They were now at the table, Pratik was the first to greet speak up at the table.
"Woah sis, did you bag yourself a girlfriend" Pratik jokingly said
"Yeah Pratik, finally got myself a nice girl" Akarsha replied Akarshaly
Noelle was blushing red. The table was fun, the family talked about their day, joking around, laughing. Noelle felt so out of it, she never felt anything like it back home, just navigate through the conversation without losing anything. Noelle ate, laughing along, just having a good time.
19:16
After cleaning up they all went their ways, Noelle came and hang out in Akarsha's room.
"You wanna do somethin?" Akarsha suggested out
"Yeah what do you want" Noelle yawned and stretched.
"Whats some classic sleepover games we can play"
"I don't know, never had one"
"Uhh truth or dare?"
"No, I think it is too, whats the word Personal"
"Thats kinda the point, these types of game are to know each other better."
"Anything else?"
"Never have I ever?"
"Ehh, doesn't seem very entertaining"
"Play with, uhh *sarcastic flirty face* mwueh"
"Okay truth or dare sounds good"
"That works, rock paper scissors to decide who ask first"
Noelle went rock, Akarsha went scissor
"Alright, Truth or dare"
"Lets start it spicy, Dare"
Noelle was in thought for quite a while before coming up with something.
"I dare you to...... uhh say everthing in a New York accent, like in that presentation, for like the next round"
"Alight stawtin off strong ar we, trooth or dare"
"Jeez, truth"
"Sow like, do you like yaself round here"
"Are you asking me do I enjoy it here?" Akarsha nods.
"Well yes, this is quite foreigh territory for me, but, I've had alot of fun around here. Especially, uhhh *light blush* hanging aroubd with you, have been draining but.... fun"
"Awww frenchie, you gots da charm to flatter a gal"
"Alright, alright. Truth or die"
.
"Alright I can speak normally now, but dya like ma accent?"
"It was funny, but don't continue, I might get a headache"
"Gotcha, truth"
"What is your favorite food"
"Chicken Makhani, I don't have it often but its pretty good, and yours is the *sarcastic voice" baguette"
"Okay, Akarsha, okay."
"Anyways, truth or dare"
"Truth"
"Cmon, Frenchie, go for a dare."
"Not interested, dares are dangerous"
"Aww Frenchie, you're no fun, fine, but we're going for extreme truths. If you don't answer truthfully, shame on you."
"Fine with me, its not like I have much to hide"
"Do you have a crush?"
"PFFFFFFT uhhhh UHHHHHHH"
Do I have a crush?, do I? Akarsha? I, do I? How do I feel about Akarsha. She, I. I appreciate Akarsha, she does so much for me and I might....... have some feelings for her but I wouldn't actively try to date her. But yesterday, what happened yesterday..... it was late and my brain was fuzzy and..... it was warm, lovely, I want that feeling again. But was it because Akarsha, she, I.......
"Noelle? Hello?" Akarsha snapped Noelle out of thought.
"Uhh sorry about the question I can change the-"
"No no, its fine, I- I can answer. Uh I do have a little something, not anything big, just, yes I do have a little something."
"Okedokey"
22:22
"Alright its getting late, this'll be the last one. So, truth or dare"
"I'll take a dare,*Italian accent* spicy meataball! Going out with a bang!, cause I'll bang you if you ask *wink wink*"
"I'll think about it later, I'm quite tired, goodnight."
"Aighty then"
Noelle went to her room. Akarsha closed the lights and tried to get comfortable in bed.
22:43
*Knock knock*
"Mphhhhh gimme a sec" Akarsha got up, opened the lights and went to the door.
Upon opening, Noelle was there.
"Hey Noelle wassup"
"I, well, its been lonely in bed, and I umm. So you remember you had dare right?
"Yeah?"
"C-cu-cud like uhhhh I want to snug-snuggle with you in bed"
"Awwwww, Frenchie, being honest are we?"
"Shuddap" Noelle said weakly
"Hehe, c'mere" Akarsha gave Noelle a side hug
"C'mon lets go to bed!" Akarsha said excitedly
Akarsha closed the lights and Noelle was trying to get comfortable in bed. Akarsha joins in.
Akarsha wraps her hand around Noelle, Noelle does the same. It was dark but Noelle could tell, Akarsha was smiling brightly.
So, do I like her? I really appreciate her and I, I would regret losing her. I, like her. But, she'll never like me back, would she. Shes funny, charming, I'm sure people like her. More than me
"Noelle, are you crying?"
Noelle snapped out of it. She was crying.
"Ah I, Im cool. "
"Are you concerned with living here? Its gonna be fine, I assure you."
Thats not the problem here
"No, I think its great, just, its fine really. "
*hugs tighter* "Well no matter, I will be here okay? Whatever is wrong, I will be here with you no matter what"
Noelle thought it sounded cheesy. But she didn't care. It was comforting, she was happy with that .
"Thank you" Noelle squeezed Akarsha tightly.
She wished she could've just said I love you right then, but she'll say it when the time is right.
