Chapter 1: It's Party Time
Noah’s POV
Loud music is blasted from Jackson’s dad’s sound system, Jackson and Max have gone all out for this party, they have turned the main living area upstairs into the party zone, lots of drinks and snacks are set up in the kitchen. It was an old Queenslander back in the day but their dad Charles has completely renovated it. He had kept the Queensland features, just updated the windows and fixed the floors but he has put in a brand new kitchen and bathrooms. I love this style of house. Unlike Oliver’s house which tore all of its charm from the inside to only add the state-of-the-art items looking cold and uninviting just like his parents. Take my house, for example, it is still in the same condition it was when it was first built, they did update by adding an aircon to the place but everything else would be lucky if my father would fix it.
I’m so nervous, the last time this group had a big party I walked in on Oliver and Justine using and having wild sex so scared that Oliver would do that again but to Tasmine, I know she doesn’t like him that way so that is in my favour. I am unsure if Tasmine knows the full story, but seeing as she is happy to be friends with Justine she might not care to love that about her, her sweet nature that is willing to give everyone a chance unless they cross her and once they cross her, she doesn’t look back. The girls are on their way here. I also know that Oliver is back living here again, he clearly has had another fight with his father, I’m hoping he knows better and stays away tonight. Jackson, my best friend, who just happened to be Oliver’s cousin, walks towards me, he is wearing the shirt he stole from me again, he has his hair half up in a ponytail. “Oi Dipshit, that is my shirt mate! Are you going to give it back?” I asked him, he just smirked at me talking a big sip of his drink before he answered, his behaviour is identical to oliver’s minus the anger, he is always funny, always the centre of attention, and a fun carefree guy, if you do not know they were cousins you would have thought they were twins the way they behave around each other.
“Don’t worry your beloved Linkin Park band shirt will be back to you. Also, Noah man chill, the girls are out the front chin wagging with each other and Sam, you will see your girlfriend soon. You think living next door to her you would be a little less” He said laughing, I cut him off with my anger, “Jackson quit it, you know who her father is I don’t need to keep filling you in.” He cuts me off mid-rant, he waves his hands around like he doesn’t care, “Yeah, yeah we all know what Lee is like man!” He said laughing, then we could loudly hear the girls laughing and joking around with Sam before they had even opened the door. Tasmine has yet to spot me, but she also looks nervous too, wondering why she is nervous. Staying back in the crowd of our friends watching Jackson offering the girls drinks and snacks for the start of the night, he was always flirting with them all and they were all flirting back, Tasmine I believe did not know she was flirting, I thoroughly love how innocent she is, Tasmine smiled at him. “I’m good for now thanks.” She said, I couldn’t stop smiling at her, I love that she doesn’t want to drink right now.
“Good choice,” I said loudly over the music, she turned around with a massive smile on her face, fuck this girl is sexy tonight, wearing a high-waisted denim skirt with a black t-shirt that has skulls and roses that is tucked in, and her hair is curled but it has been put half up with two plates on either side of her head joining at the back, Justine must have done her hair, with natural makeup and a touch of glossy lips, fuck that is Josephine’s work, those two girls know what turns me on when it comes to Tasmine, and I don’t remember ever telling them that. “Noah, hey.” She said brightly, I walked closer to her with a smile on my face. “Hi” She spoke again, I smirked at her, why is she acting like this? “You have said that.” I whispered, “I know.” She whispered back, not waiting anymore when the pull towards her was so strong right now, leaning down towards her and kissing her softly, before gently moving us towards the couch, sitting down next to each other still kissing. Tasmine placed her legs onto my lap, running my hand up her thigh, shit we need to take this to a private room. Fuck, I want to have sex with her so badly, can tell she wants to, but I don’t want her first time ever to be in this fucken house.
We start to hear giggling but not paying any attention as my hand reaches the spot I so desperately want to touch again, “You two care to get a room?” Dean asked loudly and we slowly pulled apart looking up at Dean who was smirking, “Yeah, we really do not want to see you two making out.” Max said with annoyance in his voice. “Hmmm, sorry guys it’s been a long week of not being able to kiss her,” I told them, we shared a smile as she noticed I had kept our secret catch-ups to ourselves, those times are for us only. “We know, but we don’t care!” Jackson the foghorn voice yells out over everyone, moving her legs off me as I go to leave, she puts her hand onto my arm shaking her head, and I look back at her in confusion. “It’s ok we will stop.” She said with a large smile on her face, I arched an eyebrow up at her, in shock is she for real right now? We have never been able to keep our hands to ourselves since we first met. “We will?” I asked her in shock, “For now.” she replied with a smoke on her face, I laughed hard then.
Three hours later the party is in full swing, beer pong is being played, a few people are dancing away to the music while some are just about to go to a private place, been watching Tasmine dancing with Josephine, those two girls really do like flirting with each other, I gently pulled her away, she looked like she was having way to much fun that I wanted to join in but I didn’t want the others to know, that I enjoy girl on girl action. I love that she is enjoying herself, not feeling the need to drink alcohol and is secretly happy with her choices tonight, “Tassie” I said loudly, she planted a kiss on me before I could finish what i was going to say, fuck it was a dam good kiss too. “Tas slow down sweetheart.” I whispered, “Mmmm, why?” She whispered back, “I know you’re not ready, I’m happy to just sit and talk, kiss, hug, dance, and have fun, no sex tonight not in this house please?” I asked while kissing her earlobe, “Ok, I’m happy with that, but what is wrong with this house?” She asked now I’m lost. I thought she knew?
“You don’t know? I thought you knew?” I asked shocked, “Are you talking about Justine?” She asked softly with a friendly smile on her face, this girl is too sweet for her own good some days. “Yes, so you do know?” I asked, with the hope that she knew the full story, but then she gave me an odd look that I had never seen on her face before and I’m not sure now. “She only told me this afternoon, why didn’t you tell me?” She asked, sounding hurt, “I thought she did, and you were ok with it. So, I thought if you’re okay with it then so should I.” I told her the truth, no point in trying to sugarcoat it all, living in this small town is bound to have a few exes walking around or even making friends with the girl you are dating and so forth. Sniffing her neck, she has perfume on, it smells like the one I had bought Justine, but it smells better on Tasmine. “Is that why you give Vincent an odd look every time he’s near me?” She asked I keep forgetting how little knowledge she has of the dating world, “Wouldn’t you if you were in my shoes?” I asked as I no longer trust anyone around my girl, thanks to how my own best friend behaved around my last girlfriend.
I continue on my assault of her body in touching and kissing, “Yes, but nothing is going on with him. He is like a big brother that is all.” She pants out, letting out a throaty moan after I kiss a spot on her shoulder, “Besides, he is not into me he is into another Kelly.” She sounded breathless, “Ok, good to know.” I like that, he is not keen on her, I just remember what he was like with her when we all were kids and how annoying he was in wanting her to himself and she didn’t want to have a bar of it, because she always wanted either myself or Oliver. Looking at her face, she looks nervous, is it because we are getting heated again? “Am I the rebound girl?” She asked so quietly, I smiled at her, “No,” I told her firmly, I have been with a few females after that not going to fill her in unless she asks, I don’t want her to judge me on how many people I have slept with. Tasmine smiled broadly at me, “Good.” She replied she kissed me, with so much passion, walking us to the couch, laying her down, and climbing on top of her, God I am enjoying hearing her moan, “Mmm, please don’t stop.” She panted out into my ear, “I’m not going to.” I told her.
My hand is moving up under her skirt, I want to have sex with her so badly, our makeout session has heated up fast. Very fast we are moving too fast. I’m more worried about what Lee and my dad would do when they find out why I’m trying to slow it down. Her hands have reached my bottom, as she presses me into her more, “I know you don’t want to, but I do…,” she pants out, biting my earlove, causing me to moan out, fuck my willpower is about to leave the room. “Are you sure Tassie?” I asked, softly, I love the fact she wants me to be with her like this, but I don’t want her to be rushing into this either.
“Yes, I want my first time to be with you.” She pants out, kissing picked up a notch, pushing her legs apart with her body, my hand is working its way back up her skirt, my fingers just grazing her soaked underpants, fuck I want to lick her all up without caring about the other’s seeing me do it, “Noah don’t mate.” Vincent spoke loudly behind us, panting. We both looked up at Vincent in a mixture of shock and anger. “What the fucken hell Vincent?” I snapped at him, fuck Ihave a raging hard-on going on right now, don’t want to be dealing with his teacher’s pet attitude that he can get into. “It’s your dad, man.” He said with a sad tone to his voice he knows more than most year eleven students about my situation thanks to both our parents being best friends with each other. But I doubt he knows his latest attack on me as Charles, Jackson, and Max’s dad and Keith, Oliver’s dad hasn’t said anything to those boys, which tells me dad has kept it to only Lee in that group of friends well I say that loosely they will talk to my dad when they see him but they no longer invite him over for BBQs and what not.
“What about the asshole?” I asked with anger dripping from my voice. I noticed Jackson had noticed the difference in the tone of my voice, Vincent gave me a sad look, why did he do that? “He’s out the front looking for you.” He said softly, I know Tasmine felt my body tense up in fear just then, I flew off the couch swearing, “Fuck, stay in here with Tas, tell everyone else to lock up and hide and call Lee and your Dad if mine gets bad!” I ordered he looked at me lost, and Tasmine looked at me in fear and shock. “Noah, no! Don’t you do this!” She snapped at me in panic, “Either I go out there and it’s just me and him or he comes in here and he’ll have access to you all I rather keep you all safe.” I told her, she looked so sad, before rushing into my arms Tasmine started kissing me hard, she whispered my name when we pulled away, I hold her face looking at her in love, fuck I so want to tell her how much I loved her right now.
“Come with me Tassie, quickly.” Jackson said softly next to us, quickly fixing up my pants, before heading towards the front food, both Jackson and Vincent are blocking Tasmine’s way towards me, “Please don’t, we don’t want Lee or my dad to know you girls are here,” Vincent said in a voice that he was trying to sound kind but you could tell he wanted to snap at her, “Fine!” Tasmine snapped at him, could tell she was close to losing her cool she clearly had her father’s tale, Tasmine goes to where the others are in the house while helping them in locking it up and turning off the music, let’s hope he is in a good mood and not drunk, trying to get my guard up while walking down the stairs, noticing how he is standing out the front, fucken hell he is drunk.
