Ah, shit, he may have dropped that cake accidentally and now he was going to fuss over it for a long time.
"I want to dance!" Noah stomped his feet like a whiny kid.I covered his mouth with my hands and glanced around; making sure no one was witnessing this ordeal.

Noah pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled a harsh breath through his mouth, before glowering at Jeremy. Jeremy slightly shrugged, as if he had not just poked a snake.Idiot."I believe what happened with my dad is already public knowledge, seeing as you guys can't stop poking nose in our family matters." Noah gritted out.
