a month solid of you trying to get him to remember who you are, he remembered and what do you do? You quit." Felix said, after Kylie had told him about what had happened that day.
"Yes, that sums it up." Kylie said, screwing her face up, at how ridiculous it sounded.
"So now he knows who you are and you are without a job?" Felix said, as though it needed saying again.
"Yep." Kylie said, avoiding his eyes. For once she didn't want to hear Felix's voice.
"What am I going to do with you?" Felix said, shaking his head and sighing. Kylie didn't say anything, she could still see Noah's face in her mind, the look that he had had, when he had realised who she was.
"So what now?" Felix asked, as though Kylie might have had this all planned out.
"I don't know." Kylie said, as she was speaking there was a knock on the door.
Kylie looked at Felix curiously, as though he might be expecting someone over and had forgotten to tell her, but he looked just as puzzled as she did.
Kylie got up off her bed and walked towards the door. This wasn't an area of town where you just opened your door to random knocks in the night, and the door didn't have a peep hole, so Kylie comprised.
"Who is it?" She said loud enough for her voice to carry through the door.
"It's Noah." Said the person on the other side.
Kylie looked over at Felix with a panicked look in her eyes, but all he did was shrug. Kylie glances around the tiny apartment, for the first time since she had moved in, wishing it was bigger and better. She opened the door slowly and looked at Noah, who looked incredibly out of place in his expensive suit.
"What do you want?" Kylie said, refusing to meet her eyes with his.
"I wanted to apologise." Noah said, his voice was quiet and it had a gentleness to it, which reminded Kylie of the boy she had once known.
"You shouldn't have bothered." Kylie said, not inviting him in.
Noah looked sheepishly into the apartment and saw Felix.
"Oh, sorry I didn't realise you had company." Noah said quickly.
"He's my roommate." Kylie said, looking back at Felix and then turning to back to Noah again.
"You both live here?" Noah asked, sounding confused.
"Well, we're not all billionaires like you." Kylie said flatly.
A moment's silence passed between them.
"I didn't mean to offend you, Kylie." Noah said with his gentle tone back.
"Well you did." Kylie said, this time looking him directly in the eyes, so he knew that she was being serious.
"Can I take you out for dinner, so I can at least explain myself?" Noah asked, as sensing that not much would get sorted, while standing at Kylie's threshold.
Before Kylie could speak or even process the question, she heard Felix behind her say "She'd love to."
Kylie looked back at Felix and glared at him.
"Do you want to grab a coat first?" Noah asked, apparently taking Felix's answer as a yes.
Kylie shook her head, she couldn't believe what was happening and her mind wasn't helping her process it either.
"I'll be back soon." Kylie said to Felix, as Noah stepped to the side to let her walk out of the door.
"You take your time." Felix said, flashing her, a wicked grin, as she closed the door behind her.
Noah led Kylie down to the black SUV where the driver opened the door for her. They rode silently together in the backseat all the way to the restaurant.
Once there the waitress had seated them, Kylie glanced around feeling out of place in her casual attire at such an upmarket place. Kylie turned to Noah with an expectant expression.
"So? You said you wanted to explain yourself?" Kylie said, not wanting to bother with small talk.
"I did." Noah said, passing her a menu. She scanned the page and put it down.
"So then, explain yourself." Kylie said, holding his stare.
"I never forgot about you, you know?" Noah said.
Kylie almost laughed, up until today he had had no idea of who she even was.
"I just
