Noah – We Have Forever

Spending the night with Liam in a hotel seemed like a good idea this afternoon, but now I’m not so sure. All through dinner, my stomach flip-flopped thinking about losing my virginity to the only man who has ever mattered to me.

Liam has a lot of experience with sex, and I have none, other than what I’ve seen in movies and on the Internet. What if my inexperience is a turn-off? What if I can’t concentrate in an unfamiliar hotel room?

A knock at my door pulls me from my thoughts. “Noah?”

“Come in. I’m almost ready.” That’s a total lie. I haven’t put one thing in my duffle bag, and I’ve been sitting here for thirty minutes staring at the wall worrying. He opens the door and looks around my tidy, sparsely furnished room.

The room, like all the rooms in Kitty’s house, is large. It’s furnished with a queen-sized platform bed on one end and an enormous computer desk on the other. I also have a good-sized light table to look at photographs with, but until recently, I hadn’t used it.

It’s hard to believe I lived in this room exclusively for years. Work, socialize online, sleep, repeat, that’s it, that’s all I did. Aunt Kitty tried to coax me out at least once a day, and about two years ago, I felt comfortable enough to join her for meals and an occasional TV show.

Liam crosses the room and sits next to me on the bed lifting up the edge of my bag and finding it empty. “I’ve heard of packing light, but you may as well leave the bag here if this is all you’re taking.”

“Sorry, I got distracted.”

“Distracted by what?” he says looking around for something, anything, that might be holding my attention.

“I was just thinking about tonight.” I’m looking down at my feet, my elbows are resting on my knees, and my hands clasped in front of me. I feel his eyes on me, but I’m afraid if I look back, he will see the apprehension in mine.

He is quiet for a time, and when I don’t turn my head, he does it for me with his finger on my chin. “What is it, Noah? We don’t have to go to a hotel tonight. We can stay here, it’s completely up to you. I apologize if I led you to believe I couldn’t wait this afternoon. I was overwhelmed, but I’ve had time to cool off and reflect.”

I blink slowly and stare at his flawless tan skin, his wavy hair still damp from his shower, and his lush, slightly-parted lips. What is wrong with me? He is the perfect male specimen. He has been my friend since kindergarten. I love him. He loves me. I trust him more than anyone on earth. I have no reason not to want this, yet I am still holding back.

I hike my leg up on the bed and turn to face him. “You have nothing to apologize for. I was flirting, and you suggested a solution.
