A cold chill grazed over Noel’s body, causing him to shiver. He snuggled further into the pillow and his arms searched for Clara’s warm body. When he felt the slightly warm mattress, Noel's eyes shot open and he sat up. Looking around, he found himself alone in Clara’s bed. He ran a hand through his messy bed hair and looked at the empty spot where Clara had been.

What the?

Noel looked at the alarm clock to his left. It flashed 3:23 a.m. He started to remember what happened after their intense kissing session. They took a taxi back to the apartment and decided to watch The Breakfast Club. Fifteen minutes into the film and Clara was already sound asleep, her head resting on his lap. He found himself enjoying the movie more as he slowly stroked her hair. When the film ended, he swept Clara in his arms and walked to her room. She had woken and asked him to stay.

They kissed until Noel put a stop to it; her heavy panting mirrored his own, and he could see the exhaustion in her eyes. Noel pulled her in close as they slept. But now Clara was gone.

Noel noticed the door wide open, he pulled the covers off of him and flung his legs over the bed. He walked over to the door, and stood there scanning the lounge and kitchen, but both rooms were empty. He scratched his head in confusion at where she could possibly be. The movement of sheer curtains got Noel's attention. The white fabric blew from the wind and he noticed that the balcony doors were wide open.

Reaching the balcony to close the doors, he found Clara leaning over the rail, her back towards him. He watched as her dress and her hair flew with the wind. He was sure she was cold, because he could feel the cool pricks hit his own naked chest. Noel walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and settling his chin on Clara’s shoulders. Clara didn't resist his touch, and he was hoping he was transferring his body heat to her.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t wake you, did I?” she asked softly as she turned her head slightly to meet his. Clara placed a kiss on his cheek and moved herself closer into Noel’s embrace.

“No, I just woke and saw you were gone.”

“I just needed some fresh air,” she sighed out.

“Are you sure that’s all you needed?” he asked. Clara tensed in his hold.

“What do you mean?”

Noel let out a heavy groan. Clara spun in his arms and faced him, her hands on his chest.

“Noel, tell me what you mean?”

“If you want space, Clara, I’m willing to give it to you. If you think this is going too fast, then I’m willing to wait by the barracks. But don’t run from me, please,” he quietly begged as he moved her hair out of her face. The colour in Clara’s cheeks faded as her face went pale and her lips parted.
