Baby I'm A Sinner novel Chapter 65

He's surprised, and even I am surprised by how forward I am. But blame me for wanting to make Noah jealous and realize that he can't be 'claiming' me but not commit.

"So you were flirting with me eh?"

"Yeah. I might have been." I tease and smile.

I see Jake watch me in awe with the corner of my eye, before he leans over to whisper something in Harry's ear. They both giggle and I roll my eyes.

Oskar and I continue talking about the fact that I'm going to see Arctic Monkeys live and how my birthday is going to be in four days.

"What are you going to do for your birthday?" he asks and blows the smoke right in my face.

I smile and look around in my pocket for my own pack.

"I don't know." I say as I light up my cigarette. "Probably go out with my friends. We're still going to be in France so it's going to be perfect."

I make eye contact with Noah, who's just coming back with Julia and sits down in front of me.

"Do you have anything special planned?"

"Uh..."

Yeah I'm planning to lose my virginity to the guy I currently don't want to talk to

"Not really." I shake my head and take another drag.

"It's a shame I won't be there."

"Yeah." I smile, and then think of a way that will definitely make him realize I want to makeout with him. Because let's face it; with that body and those eyes he's not half bad. "But you're here now, so."

"I am." Oskar smiles and puts his cigarette out in the ashtray. He then reaches for the whiskey bottle and takes a small swig before he turns back to me. "What are you implying?"

I look at him innocently. "Me? I'm not implying anything."

He smirks. "I think you are. And I think I know what it is."

My heart is beating out of my chest now, and I'm pretty sure everyone at the table is listening in. "Oh really? Try me."

He doesn't waste any moment to place his hand on the back of my neck and pull me to his lips. We kiss sloppily; with my cigarette burning out in my right hand and our tongues meeting halfway. He's a good kisser, but I break it off so I can take a breath and smile at him.

"Not bad."

"Not bad? I'm a great kisser."

Noah laughs from across the table, but I don't look at him.

"And who said that?" I ask, teasingly.

"People." Oskar smiles back.

"I think you need a bit more practice."

"I'll keep that in mind." He says, winking.

I finish my cigarette and then excuse myself because I desperately need to pee. When I come out of the bathroom, Jake ambushes me with an eager expression on his face.

"You slut!" he excitedly screams, and I immediately realize he's tipsy.

"What?" I laugh, drying my hands on my jeans.

"You were on fire out there! I've never seen you so flirty in my life! Where did it all come from?"

I proceeded to tell him about the whole Noah thing, while he listened with his mouth open.

"So you just decided to make out with Oskar right in his face to make him jealous?" Jake asks in a serious tone.

"Yeah."

"High five bitch! My little grasshopper is all grown up I'm so proud!"

"I think you need some nachos or else you'll pass out from how much you've had to drink." I laugh.

"Oh come on, I've had like three shots."

"And we both know you can't hold your alcohol to well."

"That's not true." He protests.

"Do I need to bring up photos from Emma's birthday last year?"

"Point taken. Let's go eat some nachos."

Noah doesn't talk to me for the rest of the night, nor does he pay attention to me the next day when we're all in the school's auditorium listening to some presentation about Poland's history.

"Are you and Noah alright?" Nins asks me as we get to bed that night. We didn't have any party in honor of our departure the next morning because we have to be at the airport at half past eight, and most of us can't get up that early.

"I don't know. But I'm definitely not going to be the first one to talk to him."

"I think he likes you."

I look at her curiously.

"Why do you say that?"

"From the way he looks at you. It was obvious that he was incredibly jealous last night when you kissed Oskar."

I shrug. "I don't care."

"Well then. I hope you work it out because you'd be cute together. I'll let you both go to sleep now because we have to get up early tomorrow." She smiles and gets up from our bed.

We tell her good night, before she leaves the room and turns off the light.

***

It's hard to say goodbye the next day, but we eventually manage to get on the bus after endless hugs and kisses.

"Julia was so cool, honestly. Such nice people. I got Oskar's Instagram for you by the way." She suggestively informs me.

"So?"

"So?! He's fit. I thought you might like seeing his face once in a while. To reminisce."

"See? We're even."

"Why did you tell Oskar to back off me?"

"Because I wanted to." Noah replies nonchalantly.

"Yeah, but why?"

"What do you want to hear from me so you'll finally leave me alone?"

"You know what? Fuck you." I say and turn around to leave.

"Oh, you wish." He snorts and I flip him off over my shoulder as I walk back to Emma.

"What happened?" she asks when she sees the angry state I'm in.

"Noah can go fuck himself."

"I think he'd rather fuck you." She smiles.

"I don't care about that anymore. Fuck our plans."

I tell her about our discussion and she assures me that he'll eventually apologize.

"He can apologize a thousand times for all I care. I'm over it. He's so confusing, I can't even."

She sighs loudly. "I can't wait for the day to come when you both realize you want and need each other."

"Oh, that day can wait."

My phone vibrates in my pocket, signaling that I have a new message.

Noah: __

Dani: __

I pocket my phone before I stare at the clock on the wall. We still have an hour and a half to wait, and I already want everything to be over so we can go to England.

"Why are you so sad?" Jake asks and comes to sit down in Eleanor's now vacant place.

"Noah and her are fighting." Emma answers for me, not looking up from her book.

"Oh, fuck him!"

"She doesn't want to anymore." Emma answers again.

"Seriously?" I tell her.

Jake rolls his eyes and places his hand on my thigh as he crossed his legs. He evilly smiles at me as he speaks:

"Cheer up bitch, we're going to Paris."

***

We arrive in Paris at twelve pm, but this time the exchange students are waiting for us at the arrivals in the airport with nice banners and bright smiles.
