[Kristen] Come And Get It

[Noah Rylan Renner]

Noah brought the cup of coffee to his lips and took a long drink of it. He was probably going to have to wait to try and sneak in a cigarette. Not to mention he was wanting to go on a run this morning. He ran his hand over his bare stomach, looking down at his chest and gave a sigh. Well, maybe he had done enough of a workout last night. With that thought, he looked over his shoulder, hearing Ashley starting to gather her things from his room. Noah picked up the second cup of coffee before he headed into his room. He leaned against the doorframe, watching her get dressed as he set the coffee mug on the table. “ Good morning,” he said with a devilish smirk. “ It was a better night,” she offered as she looked up at him through her hair. “ I’m not going to argue with that,” he said as he finished off his coffee. “ What time is Kris coming over?” she asked and Noah lift his eyebrows while he looked over at the time. “ Well she said she was coming over a while ago. I imagine she’ll be here soon. Are you heading off for the library?” he asked as he looked in his closet, debating about whether or not to put a shirt on before he decided against it. “ I am.. Did you want to join me?” Noah paused, looking at his clothes. Joining her at a library. That was a boyfriend move. And he was not anyone’s boyfriend. Though, he did hang out like that with two girls. Hope and Kristen. “ I mean I’ve promised Kristen I’d have a chat with her,” he said, even cringing to himself at how easily his British accent rolled off his tongue. “ You’ll enjoy your privacy” he said with a tight smirk. He watched as Ashley pushed her hair behind her ear and continued to pick up her coffee, taking a drink as she made her way out of the bedroom. “ I’m going to take one of your travel mugs, okay?” she asked. Noah wiped the corner of his eyes, muttering to himself. “ I see you’re taking my shirt as well,” he noted as he watched the fabric that was clinging to her body. Well that was another shirt gone. He heard the knock at the door and made his way over. Holding the coffee cup in one hand he opened the door, raising his arm up to rest it against the door frame and smirked at Kristen. “ Hello love,” he said with a wink at her. Noah moved his body slightly out of the way as he felt Ashley rushing past him. “ Good morning, Kris!” she called out happily before she kissed Noah’s cheek and hurried down the hallway. Noah took in a breath and smiled before standing up straight and moving out of the way so that Kristen could come inside.

"Okay, we'll talk later....No, no. I need to go. I'm here now.....Oh shut up. Bye." Kristen ended the call and just laughed to herself. Hanna was busting her chops about going to hang out with Noah. She did it almost everytime. Hanna made a lot of sense with what she said though. Kristen was still with Elijah, but she was alway shanging otu with Noah and she clearly had feelings for the kid. Elijah had to know there was something going on. Kristen was distant for the past month. It was like she was shutting him out. She wasn't trying to do that intentionally. Kristen slipped her phone into her back pocket as she made her way up the stairs to Noah's apartment, a route she was all too familiar with. When she got to the door, Kristen knocked lightly and waited to be let in. The door opened and there stood Noah, shirtless. Kristen's eyes widened and she smiled a bit. Just then a girl appeared behind him and kissed his cheek, to say bye. "Hello.." Kristen said to the girl as she let her walk by her. When the blonde was out of sight, Kristen dropped the fake smile and walked in past Noah. "Kris.." she said quietly, mocking the girl. "She's pretty. She looks familiar. Does she go to Columbia?" Kristen plopped down on the couch, resting her head all the way back and just dropped her bag on the floor. "Sorry if I interrupted something. You coulda told me you had company. We totally could've hung out later or something." she said as she looked over at Noah. Kristen's eyes went down to his chest and then his stomach, but then she quickly moved them back up to his face, flustered. "Do you mind if I have a cup?" she asked, gesturing towards his coffee. Wihtout waiting for the answer, she got up and made her way to the kitchen to get her coffee.

Noah watched as she walked inside and gave a small smirk. “ Play nice,” he said as he sat down beside her. “ I don’t think I would call that company exactly.” he said with a slight smile on his lips. “ She goes to Columbia,” he said while nodding. “ Met her in Economics,” he continued before turning his head against the couch to look at her. “ Yeah, help yourself,” he commented, though Kristen was already up and on her way into the kitchen like it was her own home anyways. Might as well view it that way, she was here so often. She probably knew it better than her own place. He narrowed his eyes as he watched her. How well did she know her boyfriends apartment? Did she know where he kept things as well as she knew them here? Did it matter? She was a grown woman, who was capable of making choices. And each time she came over, still with a boyfriend, she made one. She was picking the boyfriend over him. And that was perfectly fine. Noah stretched his arms out, tiredly bringing his hands into his hair before he shook them quickly to try and wake himself up. He stood up quickly, heading into the kitchen. He probably needed another cup of coffee as well. He watched her as she poured herself a cup. She was a beautiful girl. And though she continuously chose her boyfriend, he also knew that just because she chose him, she wasn’t incapable of being effected by Noah himself. Which he knew she was. He could see it in the way she would stare, a little flush to her cheeks. Even her breathing changed. And he had to admit… it was cute. He liked pushing her buttons, ruffling her feathers a little bit. So as she was setting the pot of coffee down, he stood behind her. Noah leaned down slightly as he reached his arm around her body to pick the pot up for himself, keeping his arms wrapped around her body as he lift his mug up and poured himself a cup. “ Well your hair looks nice today,” he said, standing back and pushing her hair off of the side of her neck. He flickered his lips into a lopsided smirk as he took a step back from her. “ Is it hot enough?” he asked as he nodded towards the coffee. He could make more if she needed it. “ So,.. Miss Kristen,” he said as he set his cup of coffee down on the counter before pushing his hands onto the counter and sitting upon it. “ To what do I owe the pleasure? Did you want to talk about something today? Or maybe I could take you out for brunch. Are you hungry?” he asked quizzically before picking his coffee back up. Brunch was a friendly meal.. and probably better out than cooped up in his apartment. Though was being seen in public really the best option,.. did her boyfriend know she spent this much time with him? Surely her boyfriend would prefer that they be out in public versus half naked in his apartment. But to each his own.. Noah set his mug down before looking at Kristen. “ Kris, do you not like Ashley? She seems perfectly suitable for me,” he said as he gripped the edge of the counter and looked over at her.
