With Noah, I didn’t have to try. It wasn’t like with Sam, where I was constantly trying to figure out where his footprints were so I could keep up. No; with Noah, it was okay to justbe.

This wasn’t okay.I was here with Sam, so I had to keep the invisible walls up.

It was hard though, when I was defending myself from all these invisible missiles of desire.

And firing them back.

Unintentionally.

Right?

Did that make me a bad person? I was such a bad person.

You’ve always been a slut, you’ve just been good at hiding it,Ink-Grayson’s words echoed in my memory.

“Sorry I’m being weird, it’s hard for me to see in this light…” Noah said.

And then, he reached into his jacket pocket, pulled out a glasses case, opened it, and donned a pair of thick-rimmed designer spectacles.

Nerdy boy.

I felt my insides melt, and heat rose into my cheeks.If I had a type, it would be Noah.

Noah with glasses.

I knew I was being weird. I knew I was being awkward.

Yet I couldn’t stop. Everything in my brain had melted.

“So tell me…” he started, his eyes drifting down my bare shoulder.

I didn’t want his eyes there. I wanted them on my chest.

For once, Iwanteda man’s gaze on my chest.

But Noah was a gentleman; he was resisting.

I was temptation. I was forbidden.

And that was something I very much liked.

“Tell you what?” I asked.

“Tell me why a teacher has a dress like that in her closet,” he said, his unblinking gaze returning to mine.

I shrugged, pushing my boobs together a little more than necessary. “Oh, I borrowed this from my sister.”

“Your social media sister.”

“You pay attention.”

“I listen,” he said, holding my gaze.

“…but what do you see?” I blurted out.

Oh God, I was so weird and awkward and he’s going to get up and go use the bathroom or something to get away—

“I see someone who’s finding herself in the crowd,” he said.
