Hell No
Sitting on the floor in the laundry room, I giggle as Lolaâs puppiesâwho Iâve named Coco, Louie, and Chanelâattempt to waddle around me with their eyes barely open. I had no idea they could get any cuter, but as they gain weight and become more active, they do. And if there was a way I could convince Noah to keep them all, I would. But heâs already told me heâs only keeping Chanel. A couple of people he works with are adopting the other two.
Hearing the back door that leads to the garage open, my nerves start to buzz. Today, both Noah and I have the day off, which means I canât avoid himâsomething Iâve gotten very good at doing.
âYou still in here with them?â He stops in the doorway and crosses his arms over his chest as he watches me, making me feel self-conscious, especially since the only thing I did today was brush my teeth and tie my hair up into a bun. It doesnât help that he looks ready to break hearts, even in sweats and a hoodie, with a backward ball cap on his head.
âI canât help it. They are so cute.â I pick up the puppy closest to me and kiss the top of its furry head. âWhen I move out, I might just tuck one of them in my bag.â I smile as he laughs, then ask, âWhat were you doing outside?â
âJust cleaning up some of the leaves and shit from the gardens since the weather is warming up.â
âDo you want some help?â
âNo, Iâm just about done. I was only coming in for a garbage bag.â He lets his arms fall to his sides, then looks down the hall. âAre you cooking?â
âI put on a pot of Guinness stew.â
âSmells good.â He taps the edge of the door before walking off. Since there is no way Iâll just sit on my butt and not help him, I carefully place all three puppies back in the box with Lola, whoâs been snoozing as I babysat, then get up off the floor. With Noah in the kitchen digging under the sink, I head to my room and put on a sweater and boots, then grab my vest out of the closet. I walk out of my room, and as soon as his eyes lock on me, he frowns.
âWhere are you going?â
âTo help you.â I walk to where heâs standing and take the garbage bags out of his hand. âIs that okay?â
âIâm guessing if I say no, youâll ignore me, so sure.â He looks me over, then shakes his head. âDo you have a hat?â
âNo, but I donât think I need one.â
âBabe, itâs cold. Come on.â He places his hand against my lower back, then leads me down the hall, letting his palm fall away as he goes into the laundry room. âYou can use this.â He comes back a second later and starts to place his navy-blue beanie on my head, then stops. âYou need to take your hair down,â he mumbles.
