Through the Screen

Chapter 5

"hey noah, i'm at the grocery store do you need anything?"

"what? what are you doing at the grocery store, it's like four o'clock,"

"yeah, not too much work today so i thought i could come home earlier, and make dinner and stuff,"

"not too much work huh? you mean you just kept procrastinating so you took a half day?" noah teased

and abel could feel his cheeks flush as he shook his head.

"shut up lester, tell me if you need anything from the store or i'm hanging up,"

"i swear to god, you take advantage of your poor boss, he's just too lenient,"

"excuse me! he loves my work, i am his favourite employee," abel boasted, and noah laughed lightly All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

from the other side, his laugh muffled due to loud chatter in the background.

"sure, sure," noah rolled his eyes, his mood uplifting slightly at the fact that abel would be home early

for once.

"anyways, could you just buy a packet of marshmallows for adrian, because you know how he

complains when there's none in his hot chocolate. and yeah, buy some detergent too, it's almost

finished from the last time i did laundry," noah explained, running his mind to come up with anything

else that they needed.

"okay," abel nodded. "chris! grab some marshmallows and the liquid detergent," chris just gave abel a

small smile before pushing their cart along the food aisle, dropping in a packet of marshmallows.

"chris? why is he with you?"

"he was just helping me shop and stuff," abel shrugged casually, not knowing what effect his actions

had on noah.

"oh, alright," and let's just say noah wasn't so happy anymore. he wasn't going to lie, he did not like

abel hanging around chris. he just hated the fact how they were always together when noah called,

how abel always managed to bring chris up in any conversation they may be having.

he talked like chris was his lover and noah hated it.

"alright, you need anything else?"

"just you," noah mumbled softly, almost inaudible and abel scrunched his eyebrows, trying to hear what

noah was saying.

"what? i can't hear you noah, it's too loud in your office,"

"i said i-i, um, if you could grab some more milk,"

"alright, milk, okay that's it right?"

"yeah,"

"okay, see you at home darling,"

"mhm yeah," noah hummed dismissively. "see you at home,"
