The View II

Noelle's [POV]

"Wow," Nash says as I walk down the stairs. "You look gorgeous."

Kit brought some clothes from my apartment including a deep red, knit wrap dress with a plunging neckline. She always seems to know what I need. I thought it might be a little too much for tonight, but from the look on Nash's face, I think I nailed it.

"Thanks." I stop on the last step and smile at him as he walks over to me. "You look gorgeous, too."

He's wearing jeans with a slightly fitted, gray pullover. The sweater outlines his chest muscles perfectly. I'm trying very unsuccessfully to stop staring at them.

He smiles. "I look gorgeous, huh? I think that's the first time anyone has ever told me that."

"Well, they weren't looking at you."

He offers me his hand as I walk down the last step.

"I'm not nearly as festive as you," he says, looking down at my dress. "I don't have any red in my wardrobe."
