((Yeah its cool))

Noah nodded with a smirk. "You Welcome, and yeah come on." He said before he wrapped his arm around Eden shoulder once again and walked out the mall. He helped her in the car and went and got into the driver side. He looked over at Eden and took a breath before he pulled out the parking lot. "Here we go." He said has they enter onto the highway. They was finally on there way out of the small town they both was grow up in and could wait to get out. "Where we going first?" Noah asked looking over Eden.

"Oh, I dunno. Whatever is..." What? Closest? No, because then they would feel like they were just slowly loosening the chain this town had set on them, similar to the one Noah had taken off of Eden just a couple of hours ago. "Farthest away. Honestly I don't care, I just want to go."

((What state should we have them live in?))

((Ummm Missouri, i guess. and we can skip to when are at wherever were going ))

"Okay." He said, has he keep is attention on the road.

((Maine, then? Just to start?))

((yeah sure))

A bump on the road shook Eden's sleep into a gasping wake and she jolted to sit, momentarily unaware of her surroundings. Outside the window, she could see her and Noah approaching a small fishing village and she squealed, looking to Noah. "Did I really sleep through all that?"

Noah smirked and nodded. "Yeah you did." He answered, Noah had noticed that she had slowly went to sleep back when they had finally lifted their home town. A couple of hours go away, he sighed and glanced over at Eden."Are you still tired?" He asked after he saw hotel sign saying it was a hotel at the next exit.

Eden smiled ruefully, sorry she had slept so much. "No, actually, do you want to pull over and I can drive for a while?" She paused before frowning. "Technically it'd be illegal.. I don't have my license or anything."

Noah shook his head "No. i got it." He said, has he drove pasted the exit. He was tired but, he know he could make it, it was only other couple more miles anyway.

Eden marked the exit in her head and looked back to Noah. "We're pretty close, right? Why don't you let me drive?" She patted his arm reassuringly, trusting herself not to drive like an idiot. But if Noah didn't want her to, she wouldn't press it.

Noah slightly smirked and nodded. "Okay, you can drive." He said pulling over to the side of the high way. He turned off the car and glanced over at Eden motioning her to came across to his lap. "Come on, so you wont have to go into the road." He said.

Giving Noah a dubious look before Eden's face changed into that of amusement, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "You want me to drive in your lap?" she asked between somewhat high-sounding giggles.

Noah smirked, and looked at Eden. "If thats what you want." He said, he thought they was going to switch sits but her sitting on his lap, he thought that was much better.

Eden rolled her eyes with a smirk and unbuckled her seat belt, scooting over and pulling herself onto Noah's lap. "You tease," she said, sneaking a kiss onto his cheek. "Let's go."

Noah softly laughed, he sighed and put the seat belt across them and buckled in. He kissed on Eden's neck before starting the car once again. "Well you to keep your hands on the wheel." He said with a smirk teasing her, has he placed her hands on the steering wheel. He noticed the more they talked the more their relationship seemed normal, he wonder should he even be calling it an relationship.

"At eight and four, right?" Eden could barely contain another chuckle before she sobered up and put her hands at ten and two, glancing quickly at Noah. "This isn't weird at all- normal couples do this all the time." Eden hadn't meant to let the word couple dribble out, but she didn't take it back.

Noah was shock by Eden words it was like she was reading his thoughts, he smirked at his thoughts and nodded has he looked up at Eden. "Hmm, do you think your ready for to take my foot off the gas?" He asked now with his hands now holding Eden's waist.

Eden dropped her hands from the wheel with a gasp, leaning back further into Noah. "No, no! That part's the scariest!" She smirked and pulled herself forward again, setting her hands on the wheel. "You know, Noah, I'm not fifteen. I know how to drive."

Noah softly laughed. "Alright then." He said before he kissed Eden on the cheek. "Just remember that i want to live through this." He said with a smirk, has he keep his hands on her waist.

"Ah, I thought you wanted to die. That's why I'm driving." Eden waited for the highway to be clear for her before she pulled out and began down the highway, comforted by Noah's hands on her waist. She was silent for the few miles before she saw the signs that indicated the upcoming exit she needed to take. Once off of the highway, she said to Noah, "Where to? You want to find someplace to sleep?"

Eden was a better driver then Noah thought, he was shocked about it. He siged has they got off the highway, he then nodded at Eden's words. "Alright sure, baby." He said, hoping she didnt feel weird that he called her that.

Eden smirked at Noah's petnaming her, but instead of making some snide remark she drove down the road a bit and found a small hotel, parking in a spot before turning to Noah. "This good?"

He was glad she didnt say anything about her calling her baby, because he know if she did it up a tease."Yeah it is." He answered, has he looked at the hotel sign.

Eden slid off of Noah into the mid seat thing and snuck a kiss onto his cheek. "Lead the way," she instructed, gesturing to the door."

((sorry I was out of town w my parents and they didn't let me bring any electrics DX))

Noah slightly grinned and nodded has he got out the car and walked to the office door. He looked back at Eden and stopped before going in holding his hand once again, which he was getting use to doing.

((It's okay!))

Eden took Noah's offered hand in hers with a smirk as she followed him to the office, sleepily taking off her hat to run a hand through her slightly messy hair with her other hand.

Noah walked into the office holding Eden's hand. He sighed seeing that the office desk was empty. "Hello" He said before he rung the desk bell. He looked over at Eden and leaned onto the desk. "I hope someone still here." He said, rubbing his other hand through his hair before sighing once again and then rung the bell also.

Eden nodded, about to reply when a small child ran out from a side door behind the desk, giggling once he saw the pair and running off with a squeak. A moment later the tiny pair of hands pushed a tall blonde woman in pajamas out into the foyer, holding a hand to her mouth as she yawned. "Hello. Can I help you?" she asked, taking place behind the desk.

"Yes, we would like a room for tonight." Noah answered, has he nodded. A small smile came on his face has he saw the little boy peek at him from behind his mother. Noah all ways wanted to have some kids of his own some day. He sighed at the thought and looked up at the woman.

Eden smirked when she saw the little boy make a face at Noah. The woman, seemingly unfazed at the interaction between the stranger and her son, said, "Yes, of course. I'm sorry -just a little tired. You two must be as well. Where are you from?" Eden answered and made other small talk with the woman as she set up their request as fast as she could, obviously wanting to get back to her own bed.

Noah nodded at the little talk convection the lady's were having. The woman finally gave him a key to a room, and in return Noah gave her some money. Then after waving goodbye to the little boy. He tightened his grasp on Eden's hand and walked out, and made his way to the motel door. When they got to the door, Noah unlocked the door and opened it wider. He motioned Eden to go in first.

When Eden left the counter with Noah, she matched Noah's wave to the boy with a smile. Once by their room door, Eden let Noah open the door for her but quickly pulled him in after her and pushed the door shut. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smirked before pressing her lips to his.

Noah was shocked by the way Eden acted. But, the stockiness melted away when he felt her lips onto his. He wrapped his arms around her waist. After a few kisses Noah picked Eden up and put her down on the bed before he parted from her soft lips.

Eden's heart pounded as Noah set her down, and she pressed her hand to his chest, pausing in between kisses to sit up a little bit. "Noah?" she breathed, closing her eyes as she took a deep breath before saying, "I love you."

Noah pulled back quickly hearing those words coming from Eden. He smirked, hoping that she wasn't lying to him. "I love you too, Eden." He said before he kissed her lips still holding her by her waist.

It was kind of a hard thing for Eden to say, but she was sure enough to speak it to Noah. She kissed him back, lifting her other hand to hold to his chest.

Noah pulled from the kisses and bit his lip and looked at Eden with a smirk. He got on the bed and laid down putting his arms under his head. He looked at Eden at the bottom of the bed, he motion Eden come up to him.

Eden grinned and moved in to lay with Noah, resting her head on his upper arm and snuggling in close to him with a content sigh. She closed her eyes for what seemed like a second, though it was probably longer, realizing that she was really tired and knowing that Noah was even more.

Noah saw that Eden was slowly going to sleep. He moved the arm that she was laying on from under his head and wrapped it around her body. He softly kissed her head before yawning, he laid his head back down onto the other arm that took the place of his other. He closed his eyes and slowly went to sleep himself.

A small smile formed on Eden's lips after Noah kissed her forehead, and after a while she felt his breathing slow into a sleep.

-

A few hours later, Eden awoke in a shake and sat up, cursing lightly when she couldn't remember where she was. But at Noah's body which had been enveloped around her, she sort of remembered, but that didn't help calm her anxiety or quickening heartbeat down. She had had another nightmare, and a couple of tears rolled over her cheeks as she tried to worm out of Noah's arms without awakening him.

Noah woke up and opened his eyes. He looked over at Eden. "What's-." He stopped in mid-sentence when he noticed that Eden was crying. He sat up quickly and put his hand on her cheek. "What's wrong?" He asked whipping her tears away.

Eden turned and shook her head. "It's fine- I'm fine." She took a deep, shaking breath and wiped her hair out of her face. "It was just another dream." For a second, she resisted the urge to lean into Noah. But she had already woken him up and didn't want to make him stay up.

Noah kissed her head before, he whapped his arms around her and held her tight. "I am here for you." He said.

"I'm sorry...." Eden whispered as she tried to regulate her breathing as she relented into Noah's arms. She laid her head on his chest and focused on his breathing for support.

"You have nothing to be sorry for Eden really." He said has he looked down at her. He never seen her cry before and he didn't like it, he would do anything to make her stop. He whipped her tears again. He leaned his head onto her head, still holding her tight. "This is what I always wanted to do. Be here when you need me." He added trying to let her know that it didn't matter about her waking him up. He loved her and this is what people do when they loved another.

When Noah gripped her tighter, Eden let her body shake a bit instead of holding it back while she cries, hiccups following after. She held close to Noah and pressed her forehead into his body as she wrapped her arms around herself protectively -though not from Noah. She took several deep breaths and slowly asked, "Can you distract me? Tell me something about you." She hiccuped again with her face flushed. "Like something happy."

Noah nodded. "Well when I was kid I wanted to be santa claus." He said with a softly laughed has the memory of his childhood filled his mind.

"You... What?" A squeak that could have been another hiccup or a laugh, or even both came from Eden's throat. "Noah, occupation, Santa Clause." Her voice still sounded dull, but she was trying not to. "Why?"

Noah shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I guess because when I was younger I always loved charismas." He said. Still holding Eden, he slightly started rubbing her back.

"Oh, so it wasn't some, 'I want to switch out all the colorful clothing with black Gatorade' deal? Bummer." Eden actually laughed this time, letting go of holding her own torso to wrap her arms around Noah. "That's sweet, though."
