Baby I'm A Sinner novel Chapter 14

Sean made a rude comment about the way my legs looked in the shorts as we walked, and I turned red because everyone heard it. It made me sad because I knew he was right.

There was an Irish pub one block away from our school and as soon as we got there, the place filled up. The booths were for twelve people, each made out of two semi-circle couches. There was a small coffee table in the middle, which was now occupied by everyone's phone and wallet. Our group (Harry, Lucas, Eleanor, Noah, Liam, Emma, Jake, Zack, Carly, Jade, Luke and I) took the one closest to the bar, due to Noah and Jake's requests. I was sat between Harry and Luke.

The waiter came over to us with a small notepad in hand, ready to take our order. Everyone seemed to already know what they wanted, and when it was finally my turn to order, I had no idea what to order.

"Aren't you a minor?" Noah asked, probably wanting to tease once I ordered the first drink that I saw on the menu.

"We don't serve to minors." The waiter said and I blushed because this was so embarrassing.

"I'll have orange juice then." I told him and wanted nothing but to go and curl up in a black hole. Thank God no one laughed at me; that would have made me cry.

Noah also ordered two cherry flavored hookahs for our table which-great.

"You can drink from my glass, I don't mind." Harry said once we got our drinks. "I'm driving anyway."

I thanked him and we swapped drinks. I saw Lucas and Noah give us curious looks.

"You trying to steal my bae?" Jake asked Harry.

"No I-"

"Because if you then we might have a problem." Jake joked.

"I already have a bae." Harry said.

Noah and Zack smirked, turning their heads to Lucas unnoticed, Lucas smiled fondly, and everyone else was confused.

They know something

What do they know

"And who's your 'bae' exactly?" Liam asked, sipping on his drink.

"That's a secret."

"Is it that girl you keep talking about?" Luke asked. "The one with blue eyes and great ass?"

"Yeah."

I almost face-palmed myself because come on people.

"She plays football at another school."

"She plays football?" Jake asked surprised.

"Yeah. And...tennis."

"She plays for both teams." Lucas said, obviously trying to hold down a smile.

"Well she's more into the men department, but yeah."

I wanted to bang my head against the table.

"Have you ever fucked?" Noah asked and I could tell he knew what was going on.

"Yeah. Gives amazing blowjobs."

"Bet you're better at eating her out though." Lucas continued.

"So I've been told." Harry replied.

I'm done

The conversation was interrupted by the waiter bringing us the hookahs over and placing them on the table, right in the middle, one or each couch.

My phone started vibrating in my pocket and oh God I had to stand up in front of everyone and go outside to take a call from my mother while wearing shorts.

"I need to go and answer this." I told Luke so he could let me out of the couch. He moved his feet and I clumsily walked away from them, pressing the phone to my ear once I found the door to the back exit.

"Hello?"

"Danielle? Where are you?"

"Oh hi mum. I'm at a pub with some friends and we'll probably be here until like, eleven. Is that okay?"

"Uh...sure. Is Jade with you?"

"Yes."

"Okay well then take care. How are you getting home?"

"Harry will drive us home since he picked us up." I said and turned around when I heard the door opening, just to see Noah closing it behind himself. He sat down on the stairs and pulled out a cigarette, lighting it up.

Fuck. He's going to think I'm an idiot now.

"Why wouldn't you use as an appetite suppressant?" he asked and handed me the cigarette once I held out my hand.

"Because not all of us have your metabolism."

"What's wrong with yours?"

I didn't answer; I chose to blow the smoke out instead.

"So how many guys have you kissed?" he asked out of the blue.

"What kind of question is that?"

"You asked me if I was a top with guys, I think this is a fairly innocent question."

"Fair enough. But you can't laugh at me."

"Why would I laugh?"

"Because I've only kissed two guys. And one of them is my gay best friend."

"Jake?"

I nodded. "I don't think I have another gay best friend."

"Have you ever kissed a girl then?"

"No I haven't Noah."

"You should try it. It's great." He said and took the cigarette back, dragging one last time out of it and then stepping on it.

"So hey listen I hate to bring this up right now but when are we rehearsing our project one last time before Friday?"

He shrugged. "Your house or mine?"

"Mine, I guess." I said. "Your house is really big and I get lost in it."

"Rich people, right?" he scoffed and I couldn't tell whether he was being sarcastic or not.
