Holy fuckingshit.

I have been dreaming of a shot like this for the past ten years, wishing for it on every shooting star and birthday candle. Taking it is not without risk; I might ruin the best thing I’ve ever had,and there is no way to come back from that. But there is much to gain, too—a life with the love of my life.

If I do this, there can be no hesitation—and no regrets. I have to make it count.

She’s picturing me naked, taking care of her every want and desperate need, but I want more. I want her days, her tears, her smiles. I want to bask in everything that makes her Noelle and know that my arms are the only ones that protect her from the night. How do I get her to see me like that?

I should know this. She’s made me watch dozens of romantic comedies through the years, not to mention those Hallmark movies she has a secret love for. Those are the ultimate blueprint for this sort of thing, right? The snow storm limits our options a bit, but surely there’s things I could do.Think, Cole. Think!

I rifle through my memories of those movies, taking note of everything that might work.

A candle lit dinner. Cooking her favorite food. Baking together. Going out into the snow until one of us trips and we fall on top of each other. Cuddling in front of the fireplace, sharing our heart’s desires and greatest fears. Maybe I can even get her to dance with me, if I play my cards right.

Okay, good. Great. We’ve got some options. Hell, some of them are even fun. But if I’m going to pull this off, I am going to need a plan.

And I’m not rational enough to do it alone.

With a sigh, I take out my phone and navigate to the team chat. My teammates might be idiots, but they’re still my best chance at figuring out how to make Noelle mine.

Anyone around?

Kai

Your mom


That’s on me I guess

Aiden

What’s up Martin? Need someone to break you out of purgatory?

Hypothetically, what would you think it means if you overhear a girl get herself off to you, like moaning your name?

Aiden

Context ?

Kai

It means you’re a dumbass

Kai

Don’t think context would make it any less stupid @Aiden

We got a big snowstorm and Noelle was about to freeze to death so I went to get her even though it could have killed me and I brought her back to my place and she insisted we share the bed and then when we got in I kinda got a boner and she touched it and then this morning she was being weird and I overheard her and I don’t know what to do

Mason

Grammar and punctuation, ever heard of it?

Aiden

Wait it’s NOELLE???
