Chapter Thirty

"Where'd you disappear to?" Natalie asked as I sidled up next to her. She and Ivy had scored an empty corner table to take a break from the dancing. "Last I saw you were dry humping that sexy blond guy over there."

"Noah was here."

Nat let out a happy little gasp.

"Why do you look so thrilled?" I asked. "Weren't you the one who wanted to gut him with a butter knife for hurting me?"

"That was before he showed up to make a grand romantic gesture." She stared at me intently. "He did make a grand romantic gesture, didn't he?"

"He dragged me out to the alley."

"For sex?"

"No! To apologize."

"Did he get down on his knees and grovel for forgiveness?"

"I wouldn't call it groveling. He seemed sincere, though."

"Are you going to take him back?" Ivy asked.

"How can I? I'll accept his apology, but all the issues that make him keep pushing me away are still there. I'm tired of banging my head up against a brick wall."

A flurry of squeals and shouts interrupted me before I could continue.

"Oh my god it's Noah Fucking Hart!" shrieked one girl at the table next to us.

"Great," I muttered. "He just had to make a scene on his way out."

"I don't think he's on his way out," Nat said with a nudge and a grin.

I turned to find Noah speaking with the DJ situated on a small stage in the corner of the dance floor. Money changed hands and the DJ gestured to a microphone stand before going to set up a large keyboard at the front of the stage.

Noah stared out at the crowd, microphone in hand. He looked oddly uncomfortable, considering he was the front man for one of the biggest rock groups around and had played to audiences hundreds of times bigger than this one.

He positioned himself in front of the keyboard and arranged the mic stand. My heart began beating wildly. What the hell was he up to?

Noah began speaking, the microphone amplifying his voice throughout the club.

"Hey. I'm Noah Hart, as I'm sure you all know."

I couldn't help but snort at his ego. But then again, from the squeals and cheers in the crowd, he was probably right.

"The song I'm going to play has never been performed in public before. It's a rough draft." His eyes scanned the room. "But I want to dedicate it to someone." He took a deep breath. "She helped me compose the song. I was having a hell of time trying to write it. I didn't want to ask for help. I didn't want to rely on anyone. I wanted to do it myself."

Natalie tugged at my sleeve. "He's doing his grand gesture!" she hissed.

I batted her hand away and shushed her. I didn't want to miss one second of Noah's announcement.

"She's the one who made me realize that it's okay to ask for help. It's okay to show your vulnerabilities. It's okay to open up to people. She made me want to trust again."

My heart melted in my chest as I was filled with a warm, pleasant glow.
