When Noah reaches the door of his parents' bungalow, Ruth hears the door opening and sees out of the window. She rushes down and leaps on, jumping to hug Noah out of excitement.
Ruth: Noah, here you go. Can we go bowling??
Noah: Sure, I'll definitely get strikes, get ready to lose, my little gummy-bear! (pinching her cheek)
They spend a long time in the arcade. then, all 4 of them have lunch at home. Ruth introduced her friends to Noah.
Ruth: May, Harry, Janice, Ron, David and Peter. These are my friends. Friends, this is my elder brother, Noah.
Noah: Hello everyone, (takes off his coat to cover Ruth's legs and asks her to go up and wear longer pants)
Ruth: Brothaahh, I'm fine.
Noah: (messes her hair and pushes her to go up the stairs) Just listen to me and goo! Guys, have a seat please.
Ruth: (screams from up) Urghh--stop treating me like a kid, goddamnit!
Noah: (gritting his teeth) Ruth, (a bit too loud scream) Be good and obey your elder brother.
Ruth comes down changed, they talk, play video games, a few indoor games, badminton and then leave. As for dinner plans, fine dining reservation for Noah and Ruth to taste in their favorite restaurant was made by their parents. They slept watching movies, sharing about their life.
Next day, Ruth bids Noah a goodbye and goes abroad for a study tour. Noah, after dropping her to the airport, leaves to go back to cuddle with Ashley.
Time skips--10:23 a.m. Saturday
Ashley came out of her bathroom after having a nice long bath. She had towel around her body and was drying her hair. Noah knew her door password and wanted to surprise her. she was listening to music at a very loud volume and couldn't hear the door unlocking. She had forgotten to even draw the curtains of her house before roaming around in a towel. She was singing the song and grooving and wiggling around. After few moments, she even twerked a little. She was smiling and because of the water on the floor, she almost slipped. She continued walking clumsily and he stood silent, enjoying the view in his eyes. It felt like he found his love, the one that was waiting for him since ages.
Ashley: Baby, baby, baby, oohh, like baby bay baby noo!!..(slips, drops the towel, picks it up without noticing another pair of eyes staring intently at her)--Woahh, sh*t, I'm good, the show must go one! Ooh for you..I would..have..done what..the f*ck (turns and sees Noah standing, smiling, lost in her smooth moves, or maybe not so smooth 🫣🙈😅)
Noah: Continue, Why did you stop, Ash?
Ashley: When did you come? (bit embarrassed)
Noah: A while ago..
Ashley: What did you see? Did you hear something?
Noah: Not at all, I'm deaf and blind..(rushes towards her and kisses her)
Ashley: (kisses first but then suddenly pulls back and when he leans for more, she puts a finger on his mouth and runs back to get dressed in her room) Wait...wait wait.
Noah: Why bother putting on what needs to be removed😁😋😉?? (she runs away before he could hold her hand and throws a pillow at him for what he said🤐)
Ashley: Did you enjoy your day off with your sister?
Noah: Yes! What about you? Free tonight?
Ashley: Got plans with my colleagues for a drink and maybe karaoke. I'm sorry, maybe tomorrow?
Noah: Fine, listen to you darling.
Ashley: Let's go to the library and then to the pet café. You get to decide the date for tomorrow!
Noah: Deal. But before that, let me hug you for sometime. (pulls her on the sofa into a warm hug)
Next day, 8:56 p.m.
Noah: Ash, ready? I'll come along.
Ashley: No no, you can't...Haven't told them yet.
Noah: But with you there alone, wearing that (pointing a bit worriedly towards her sort sexy red dress and black long heels) ..? No, I'm not agreeing to you going to a bar like that.
Ashley: Hey, trust me. I'm not weak. And there are others with me. Lucas is there too. You are thinking too much. My alcohol tolerance is good. And if at all I need something, I'll call you. (puppy eyes, trying to tame him)
Noah: Fine, I'll drop you then. You, remember to call me if something happens, no matter how late at night it is!!
Ashley: Yes yes, hurry up now. I'm already late. How do I look by the way?
Noah pulls her closer by the waist, drinks a glass of water like that and makes her sit on his lap. He puts his hands on her soft legs.
Noah: Lovely. Gorgeous. Sexy, Hot. Stunning, (whispers..) desirable (trying to kiss her on lips)
Ashley: (pushing his away by his chest)Nope, my makeup will get ruined..Thanks, gotta go. Coming?
Noah: (screams for an answer) Yes!!!
They reach to the bar and Noah goes to his house to sleep. He was waiting for her call, in case something happens.
Ashley: Milley, I'm going to the washroom. (bit dizzy and drunk)
Milley (colleague): Should I help you? (holding her hand)
Ashley: No, I'll manage.
After going to the washroom, she comes out but yet a bit drunk, she enters the wrong karaoke room. The men there were a bit too touchy with her, trying to harass her. She pushes him away and tries to escape but they hold her back. She sends an emergency call to Noah.
11:57 p.m.
Noah jolts up alerted by the call, he rushes to the bar and searches through every bar room, finally finding her. She was pinned under a random guy and he was trying to kiss her, Ashley almost passed out after drinking a bit too much.
Noah: Who the hell are you guys? Leave her right now! (starts pushing him away and pulls the man on her with his collar, punching him on his face.)
Ashley: Noah!! (drunk)
Noah: It's me. (he picks her up in the bridal style and lets her sleep in the car)
They reach home and Noah brings her to his home to take care of her hangover.
Ashley: Yayy! we're finally home! (running around like child, jumping right on his bed)
Noah: Get fresh and change. I'll get you some warm water to drink.
12:38 a.m.
Ashley doesn't reply, sleeping already. Noah shakes and pulls her up but she sleeps the very next second. After a while, when he was washing his face, she suddenly enters the washroom and pukes, right on his shirt. He changed his shirt and she was a bit uncomfortable in her dress so he changed the clothes for her too. He let her wear his white shirt.
Ashley: Thanks for this shirt. (bends on the table to get a glass of water but ends up exposing her legs a bit too much)
Noah gulps down his milk and ends up choking at a point.
Noah: Ash, I think, you should sleep on the bed now. I'll sleep on the sofa.
Ashley: As you say, master. (bends to show gratitude like a karate-student, in playful-ness)
Noah: You are yet drunk...I wonder how you'll react if I tell this to you when your alcoholism decreases...Anyways, good night.
Ashley kisses him on cheek and sleeps.
