His room? What was wrong with the kitchen? There was a nice big table. The lighting was good. His mom was there to chaperone.

Not that we needed one.

Okay, maybe he didn’t. Noah didn’t seem affected by my presence at all. On the other hand and despite my pep talk, I was ready to jump his bones and we’d just spent the last fifteen minutes talking to his father. How was that for messed up?

And now we were headed into his room?

It felt weird to follow Noah up a set of stairs at the back of the kitchen with empty hands, but he’d grabbed not only my backpack, but the grocery bag as well. Not to mention the water bottles.

“I can carry something, you know,” I said. We were living in the 2000’s not the 1800’s. I was perfectly capable of carrying my own stuff.

Noah grunted but didn’t give me any of the load. I rolled my eyes behind his back while fighting the urge to stare at his butt. Jeez, this guy. Was there any part of him that wasn’t attractive?

He pushed open the first door we came to at the top of the stairs. Noah’s room looked exactly as I might have imagined it. Only messier. The walls were painted a dark blue-gray. Anchored with thumb tacks were posters of NBA players as well as Indiana University’s current team poster with a calendar and game schedule. I raised one eyebrow as I spied a basketball goal mounted on one wall. Under it sat a half full laundry basket. Balled up pairs of socks littered the ground around it where he’d missed.

In the center of the room was a queen sized bed covered with a deep red comforter. White pillows were strewn haphazardly at the head of the bed and his own backpack and several books took up the bottom. A desk complete with a computer and scattered papers sat to one side of the bed while a flat screen television hung above a dresser at the foot. Through an open door in the room, I saw a bathroom that led to a large walk in closet. It was all a mess.

“I know it doesn’t look like it, but I swear I cleaned.” Noah dropped my backpack and the snacks onto his bed. At least it was made.

My eyes bulged. “You’re kidding? This is clean?” It was a complete disaster and a complete surprise. “Do people at school know about this flaw of yours?” Because Noah’s reputation as Mr. Perfect might suffer a severe setback if anyone else found out.

“Not many,” he admitted as he fell back on the bed with a sigh.

We should get to work. I knew we should, but I was too curious and I wasn’t even going to be shy about it. Noah was a mystery. He put on this show at school, this aura of being so put together, but this Noah? This Noah was on the edge. This Noah was a closet pig.

Noah laid on the bed with an arm over his face and his eyes closed.
