Noah’s POV
“Noah, please just listen-,” Amber started to say but her scream cut her off. I slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in the middle of the road. I didn’t care about the blaring horns of the few cars around me.
“Amber?” I asked calmly. I listened very carefully, but no sound came out of the receiver. I checked the phone and the line was still connected.
“Amber?” I asked again, started to panic. Silence answered me.
“Amber, this isn’t funny,” I said, trying to sound calm. I waited for a few seconds but I didn’t receive an answer.
“Amber, please, answer me!” I said my voice raising and panic starting to become evident in it. I waited, hoping to hear her laugh and tell me that she was trying to scare me.
But instead I was greeted by silence.
“Amber!” I said, almost yelling as I spun the car around. I pressed foot on the accelerator until I was going 70 miles per hour on a 20 speed limit road.
“Amber, if you can hear me, I’m coming for you!” I told her, keeping the line connected. I slammed my foot on the brakes when I got in front of her house, not even bothering to pull up in the drive way.
Sparks flew out of the space under my wheels, but I didn’t care. I opened the door and sped to the house.
“Amber?” I called out once I was inside. I didn’t get an answer so I ran into the nearest room, leaving the door ajar.
I searched every room, but didn’t find her. I ran up the stairs and sighed in relief.
Amber was lying on the floor, unharmed. Her phone was lying beside her, as if she had dropped it.
My relief vanished as she lay immobile, sprawled on the floor.
“Amber?” I asked, kneeling down next to her. She didn’t say anything, or even bat an eye lid.
“Amber?” I tried again. I didn’t get a response.
“Amber!” I yelled, shaking her violently. Her eyes shot open and darted around until they settled on me.
“Noah?” She groaned and pressed a hand to her forehead. I leaned down to brush the hair out of her face.
“Amber what happened?” I asked softly. She shook her head and groaned again. Suddenly her eyes shot open and she tackled me to the floor.
“What are you doing?” I asked in amusement as she straddled me. She glared at me and pinned my arms to the floor.
“Noah Flynn, you are not leaving this spot for the rest of the night,” She said, leaning down so that her face was inches from mine. I sucked in a deep breath.
“Fine, with me,” I muttered as I stared at her beautiful face, my head too clouded to form any further words. She blushed and looked away, making me smile.
“Wait,” I said, finally remembering my goal. I struggled against her hold. I expected it to be easy but she was pretty strong for a girl.
“Amber, I need to go see him,” I protesting. She sat on my chest and leaned down on my hands, putting all of her weight on them.
“No, I’m not letting you beat the crap out of him,” She said sternly. I noticed I could move my arms, which meant I could get up. But, I couldn’t sit up without throwing her backwards.
“He deserves it,” I told her. I moved my hands free and lifted her off me.
“Hey!” She shouted as I got up and left her on the floor. I was almost out the door when I felt her jump on me from behind, wrapping her legs around my waist.
“Try to get away now,” She said proudly, I tried to shake her off me but her legs remained locked around me.
“Is that a challenge?” I asked.
“No, it’s an order,” I heard her say. She tightened her legs around me, as if she was urging me on.
I smirked and unwrapped her legs and leant backwards into the couch until she fell off. I ran out of the
house before she could catch up.
I gave a laugh of victory when I reached my car but stopped when she appeared in front of me and jumped on me again, this time in the front.
I groaned as I pressed her back against the car.
“Again?” I asked. She smiled sweetly.
“I told you that you weren’t leaving this house,” She said proudly. I smirked and looked around.
“Last time I checked, we were outside,” I said. Her smile transformed into a scowl as she slapped my chest.
“Don’t ruin my-,” She started to say, but a huge yawn cut her off. I raised an eye brow.
“Tired?” She nodded and laid her head on my chest sleepily.
“Yep. Can you take me to bed?” She asked. I laughed.
“Are you asking me to get in bed with you,” I asked her. She pulled back to look at me, a frown on her face.
“Fine, don’t come in bed. Your loss,” She said, starting to untangle her legs. I grabbed her thighs to stop her, listening to her breath catch in her throat.
“I’m sorry, can I please stay the night?” I pleaded. I stuck out my bottom lip, trying to look cute. She bit her lip and inhaled deeply.
“Sure,” She said, quietly and walked away quickly.
Amber’s POV
I quickly walked away from Noah, trying to hide the obvious lust on my face.
What did he do to me? All he had to do was touch me and my hormones went crazy.
Sighing, I climbed up the stairs. I really need to get this under control.
I walked into the bathroom and stripped off all my clothes.
I hopped inside the shower and let the warm water calm my nerves. As I ran my fingers through my damp hair, I let my mind wander.
Who was Drew and what was he doing in Noah’s house. I knew he wasn’t Noah’s brother, because I had asked him if he had any siblings and he had replied no. Although, when I look back at that memory, he had answered in a stiff voice. Was he lying?
And if so, why?
Drew didn’t even look that much like Noah. Noah’s hair was the color of dark chocolate, while Drew’s was jet black. Noah had tanned skin, but Drew’s was a bit pale. Noah obviously had a better build than Drew.
Then who was Drew, if he wasn’t related to Noah?
I shook my head, wanting to take my mind off Drew. Why did I care anyway? I shampooed my hair, massaging it in.
I watched the water drip out of the faucet and slowly move down the drain and out of sight. The river was soon mixed with fallen soap from my hair and body, polluting the water.
Soon, it was just soap draining out, the water it was held in not noticeable.
What did Noah think of me? I know he cared, whatever that meant, because he was ready to pummel Drew’s face just for a stolen kiss. And now that I think back, he did cry when I told him about my father, feeling bad for me. And he looked pretty freaked out when I fainted.
Now that I think of it, what happened. One minute I was talking to Noah, the next I was on the floor next to him. How long was I out? Did he already go beat up Drew? Was I too late to stop him?
I slapped my forehead, but winced when it hurt more than it should have.
I gently ran my hand over my upped forehead, feeling a knot. I pressed on it, making my whole head throb and my world spin.
Okay, that probably needs ice.
Maybe, I ran into a door, or a wall. You know, considering my lack of balance, that is a pretty accurate guess.
The water began to get colder, so I flipped the tap off and stepped out.
The air felt moist from all the water vapor crowded into a small space. The mirror was completely fogged up, not even giving me a silhouette of my reflection.
I reached for my towel, but my hand grasped cold air. I looked around for a towel, but my bathroom was missing one.
I began to get nervous as I searched. If I didn’t find one, I would have to run to my room naked. Into the place where Noah was waiting for me.
I groaned and looked at my last hope, under the sink. Nothing.
I groaned and slowly eased the bathroom door a crack open, thinking of a plan.
“Noah!” I hissed into the dark hallway. A few seconds later he emerged from my bedroom, looking at me curiously.
“Yeah?” He asked. I had two options. Option one was asking Noah to get me clothes from my room, but that would involve him seeing my underwear. Option two was to ask him to close his eyes while I ran to my room.
“Can I trust you?” I asked before making a final decision. I was leaning towards the second one, but I needed to make sure Noah wouldn’t peak.
“Of course,” He answers sincerely.
“Okay, close your eyes,” I said. He shot me a suspicious look.
“Why?” He asked. I narrowed my eyes.
“Just do it! And don’t peek!” I added. He covered his eyes with his hands. I frowned.
“Okay, now turn around,” I ordered. He uncovered one of his eyes.
“So you can check me out?” He asked. I sighed, actually enjoying the idea, but I kept my mouth shut. He did as I told without further questioning it. I slowly opened the door wider, keeping my eyes on him.
“Keep them closed,” I cooed, walking backwards. Even though he couldn’t see me, I felt exposed, standing here stark naked, few inches away from Noah.
“Why?” He asked, turned halfway around my keeping his eyes covered.
“Noah!” I shouted, springing back into the safety of my bathroom. I closed the door so that only my head was visible.
“You can open them now,” I said in defeat. He gave me a curious look.
“You’re just back to where you were before!” He complained. I glared at him.
“Okay, new plan. Take off your shirt,” I commanded. I could slip it on then sprint to my room, most of me covered up. Seeing Noah shirtless was just a plus side.
“So you can stare at my super-hot body,” He incorrectly finished for me. I gave him a dangerous glare.
“Don’t make me tell you twice,” I threatened. Quickly, he slipped off his huge black shirt, leaving me to gape at his amazing chest. He chuckled.
“Like I said,” He laughed, tossing it to me. I caught it in mid-air and pulled it over me. It came up to my upper thigh, exposing much of my legs, but at least the top half was covered, since the shirt was baggy enough.
I fully opened the door, making him raise an eyebrow.
“Where are your clothes?” He asked as I walked passed him. I blushed.
“I um, forgot them and I couldn’t find a towel so,” I trailed off. He shook his head in disbelief.
“And I just missed my chance of seeing you naked,” He protested, hanging his head. I gasped, smacked his chest and scurried to my room.
