His sweet tooth has started to colour off on her, and it makes him feel all warm and gooey inside.
When theyβd first started to go out Laurie had insisted on her pitch black coffee, and now she occasionally lets him pick whatever he thinks looks best. Summer is just around the corner now and the days are starting to get longer again β the perfect time to waste a couple of hours by the lake with their books and a couple of drinks. These early summer days have become his favourite time of the year since heβs met her.
Laurie has brought a lightness into his life. Some of it is actively her doing, but a good chunk of it has simply come to him with a little encouragement. Knowing that it was okay for him to build back the walls heβd constructed and to allow himself a little bit of grace and softness had done wonders of for him. Since theyβd gotten together Noah had allowed himself to explore all sorts of different sides. Before theyβd met he never would have considered himself to be submissive but here he is. Sheβd shown him that he can be soft without being less of a man. Noah had gained so much genuine confidence in himself in the last few years that he's actually considering the open mic night in a bar across town β the one that comes with a slot at the live show for the community festival at the end of the summer.
He hasnβt told Laurie about it yet. Sheβll be ecstatic of course, but telling her also means that itβs real and thatβs actually doing it.
When he enters the store, Laurie is in the middle of ringing up a guy. He loves watching her at work. Sheβs always so happy to help people find the right thing for them β even if they donβt even know what theyβre looking for yet. Somehow Laurie always knows which record needs to go to which person. Sheβs brought him things heβs never heard of before, and they always hit the spot. Noah doesnβt know how she does it. He watches as she hands the guy a flyer to the bar with the open mic night before she sends him on his way. Noah quickly steps up to the counter before someone else gets the chance.
βI was wondering if you have something you could recommend? I want to get a little surprise for my girlfriend.β he says, leaning against the counter.
Laurie grins at him, βThatβs sweet of you. Anything in particular your girlfriend likes?β
He hums, pretending to be deep in thought, βShe likes Bob Iver and Sufjan andββ he holds up the paper bag, βSandwiches with pickled onions.β
Laurieβs eyes light up.
βScrew this. Amy Iβm leaving early.β
He canβt help but laugh when she rushes towards the back of the shop to pick up her bag. Sheβs at his side not even two minutes later. As soon as sheβs close to him, Laurie pulls him down for a kiss.
βI missed you.β she whispers against his lips, βLetβs have lunch.β
βItβs barely been six hours and I stopped by to bring you a fresh coffee.β Noah replies with a smile, βBut I missed you too.β
Their usual spot is taken much to Noahβs dismay.
Laurie diverts them to a different spot, closer to the water. They wonβt be able to sit in the shade, but itβll be nice to sit in the sun for a while. The important thing is that heβs with his favourite girl.
He loves that they get to have these moments. Before Laurie, heβd been so fixated on trying to survive that he barely lived. Noahβs the first to admit that having a stable place to live and less pressure to make the music work so that heβll have money to eat had definitely helped. Laurie had encouraged him to get a part-time job, just to take a little bit more of the pressure away, and now he actually enjoys playing live again.
βI was thinking about inviting Nick for dinner some time? Little birdie told me that girl he went out with a few times dumped him.β
Noah feels his heart sink. Nick had looked so happy with her. This must have come entirely out of nowhere.
βOh no. Did he come by?β
She nods, βStopped by just after ten. Apparently it just happened. Said heβd call you after his shift.β
It breaks his heart to know that Nick is hurting like this. If he could, heβd make sure that Nick would never have to feel like this ever again. Heβs watched Nick get into one relationship after the other, always so hopeful that this girl will be the one, but he always ends up with a broken heart.
βWe gotta do something.β Noah says as he takes a bite out of his sandwich.
βMaybe you could take Folio up on that fishing trip heβs been trying to get you to go on with him. Might be good to get him out of the city for a bit.β
βYouβre just trying to get me out of the house.β Noah says in mock protest.
βThat too.β she gives his thigh a little squeeze, βYou do need to get out more. A weekend away with someone who isnβt me would be good for you.β
Noah grumbles out a displeased fine and makes a plan to call Nick when they get home.
He loves the little routines they have. Their little lunch dates in the park, their long, drawn out weekend mornings and the evenings they spend curled up on the sofa.
Noah looks over to Laurie, as they stroll back towards their little apartment. She seems to be entirely lost in her own thoughts and Noah thinks that sheβs never looked prettier. He untangles their fingers, allowing him to instead drape his arm across his her shoulders. Laurie lets out a little giggle when he pulls her against his side.
He presses a kiss to the top of her head.
The sun has warmed her skin so pleasantly, and he canβt wait for them to be in the privacy of their own four walls. Heβs been feeling all sorts of wired up today and usually the only way to sort his brain out again is to lay his head in Laurie lap and let her play with his hair until that terrible feeling dissipates again.
All he can hope for now is that Laurie has a little bit of mercy with him and just gives him what he wants without making him ask.
Once theyβve changed out of their street clothes, and Laurie has had a moment to decompress after work they reconvene on the sofa. Noahβs glad that they kept the massive sofa Laurie had in her old place. Thereβs so much space for them to curl up together in various different positions. And when Nick comes over thereβs enough space for him too.
Laurie sits down next to him and Noah wordless slides down so that he can rest his head in her lap. She lets out a little chuckle at his eagerness, but doesnβt say anything more. Instead, she wordlessly trails her fingers across the side of his face and up his temple. The sweet and gentle touch she gives him always makes his heart feel at ease.
βHow was work?β She asks softly, βIs it still fun?β
βStill fun. But I heard so many renditions of Sweet Home Carolina today that I want to cry.β
"Oh honey.β Laurie says with a chuckle, βPoor baby. Iβm glad youβre still having fun with it. Jollβs a good guy I knew youβd two would get along.β
βHe said heβd let me use the studio he has in his basement if I need it.β
βThatβs good. Maybe he could help you get a demo done too.β She says between gentle passes through his hair, βEven if you don't end up doing anything with it.β
Noah gives an absent-minded nod.
Laurie has so much faith in him.
From the very start sheβs been his number one supported. He remembers how sheβd looked at him during that first open mic night. Sheβs always been in his corner, always unconditionally so.
She gazes down at him with that pretty little smile of hers. Sometimes he canβt quite believe that he gets to have this girl. He loves that theyβve picked up little pieces of each other over the years. Seeing something of himself in her makes his chest feel so very warm. Spotting songs heβs send her on her playlists, her blossoming friendship with Nick, itβs all so dear to him.
He's never felt this much for someone.
Laurie is without a doubt his person. Thereβs no one else heβd rather be with. No one he'd rather spend his evenings with. Laurie brings out the best in him. She makes him feel as if anythingβs possible, no dream he has is too big or too impossible to accomplish, and he knows that sheβd move heaven and hell for him if he'd made any kind of indication in that direction. And heβd do the same for her β no questions asked.
He reaches for her free hand, effortlessly tangling their fingers together.
βIβm gonna play the open mic at Teddieβs.β He says after a moment of silence.
Laurieβs hand pauses mid pass through his hair, βNoah.β
βI donβt know if Iβm gonna win but β I want to play your song on that big stage.β
Noah swears that he sees a tear slip across her cheek.
βHoney.β She whispers then, βNoah I β I canβt wait for them to see how good you are. If you donβt win thatβs their loss.β
βThen Iβll just be your personal musician.β
βDo not ever think about hiding your talent. I swear if I have to force you ββ
βI know I know. Iβll just need some time to lick my wounds if I donβt win it.β
He pulls their joined hands towards his lips so that he can press a kiss against the back of her hand.
βIt's scary but youβll be there and β youβre my lucky charm. Canβt lose if I have you.β He grins at her.
βDork,β Laurie flicks her fingers against his cheek, βIβm so proud of you regardless of what happens. Youβll do great, I just know it.β
He calls Nick while Laurie gets started on their food and invites him over for the next day. A part of him wants to walk over to his place right this moment and bring him back here. He just canβt stand the idea of Nick being sad like this. It makes his chest ache a little to know that a guy like Nick, who is so sweet and caring, keeps getting his heart broken. Sometimes Noah wonders if that feeling in his chest is normal or if itβs perhaps a little more than friendship. But then he looks at Laurie and all thoughts about it wash away again. He already has the prettiest girl β thereβs nothing no one else he could want. And so he pushes the idea to the back of his head again and re-joins Laurie in the kitchen. He wraps his arms around her middle as if nothing out of the ordinary at all has just whirred through his head.
He has everything he could possibly want and ask for.
He has everything he could possibly want and ask for.
