DON'T BE A GHOST READER, VOTE/COMMENT MY LOVES

I woke up and felt Noah's arms around me. I looked up to see him peacefully sleeping. I tried to move but our legs were draped around each other. I looked up to see if he was awake from my sudden movement but he was still asleep.
I couldn't help but stare at his nicely chiselled face. His black hair fell on his face covering his eyes. I reached over and raked my fingers through it, pushing it back. I couldn't help but trace my fingers gently right above where his beard started. All those feeling I had pushed back for years came rushing back. I was falling for him all over again.
I felt him move and held me tighter. He opened his eyes for a split second then went back to sleep. I tried to push him away but he wouldn't budge again.
"Noah" I whispered. He didn't even move. "Noah" I whispered a bit louder.
"Mhhm" He mumbles then nuzzle into my neck.
I felt his warm breath hit against my neck sending butterflies in my stomach. Why am I feeling this way!
"Noah, wake up," I whispered again.
"Shhh, It's early. Go back to bed babe." I hear his raspy voice say from my neck.
"I have to get ready for work. Get up your killing me here." I say.
"Just stay." He mumbles.
"Noah I have to go," I whispered. Deep down I wanted to stay in bed all day like this. But I knew it was wrong.
He lifts his head up and looks at me for a second then backs away, letting go of me.
"Sorry." He looks down.
"Its fine, I-I gotta go," I say, getting up and into the washroom.
I mentally slap myself remembering last night. I felt my cheeks burn up. I turned the shower on and stripped out of my clothes and got in.
*six hours later*
I got to work hours ago and finished about three meetings with other publishers. Gave out the book reports for the employees. It was time for me to go home.
I walked out of my office and to Summers desk. "Summer, I'm done for today let me know if you hear back from S Enterprises." I smile.
"Of course. Also, Mr. Shah called earlier he said to meet him at Riles." She smiles
"Okay. Take care Summer." I nod before heading into the elevator.
***
I got to Riles and parked my car in the parking lot. I walked in and spotted Noah sitting at a table with Ava. Whom I totally forgot about. I walked over to where they were sitting and sat beside Noah.
"Hey!" Ava squeals.
"Hi Ava, hope your day went well?" I say, then looking over to Noah and smiling at him.
"Great! Noah gave me a tour of his office and around downtown. It's a wonderful city!" She smiles.
"I'm glad you had fun. Sorry I couldn't make it, had a busy day at work." I huff smiling.
"Oh no, don't worry honey. Tomorrow Noah promised to take me up North to the Ski resort I've been dying to see!" She excitingly says.
"Oh really." I look over to Noah.
"Yes, I hope you can come. Noah tells me you work a lot. You two probably have barely any time alone." She smiles.
"I don't think I can. I have a conference meeting tomorrow with some authors." I say.
"Well I'm sad you won't make it, we'll be sure to take lots of pictures." She smiles.
I faintly smile taking a sip of my water.
***
When we reached the house after dinner about an hour ago and I changed into my sweats and teeshirt. I sat on the bed waiting for Noah to come out of the bathroom.
He opens the door and came out in just a towel around his waist. Water dripping from his hair to his six-pack abs all the way down to his v- oh god. I look away avoiding a remark from him. He walked into the closet.
"Is something wrong?" I hear Noah from the closest.
"You're going up North with her?" I say.
"Yeah... what's wrong with that?" He says coming out of the closet wearing just his sweatpants. I try to avoid looking at his bare body.
"Well... um... she's... I-I don't know." I huff.
"Wait. Are you jealous?" He raises his brows.
"W-hy would I be jealous. I'm just saying... it's a bit weird don't you think?" I say.
"Nope. Not weird at all." He says while brushing his hair.
I walk over to him "Well, it's weird to me. What would she think if I let my husband go alone with a woman? What would our parents think?! What would people think?!" I say out of breath.
"Relax. She's just a friend. Why are you asking me all this? You're busy anyways so you can't go." He smirks. I know he's doing this on purpose just to piss me off.
"You know what! I'm going. Screw the conference, I'll do it another day. Unlike you, I actually care about what people think about me." I huff pointing at him.
"You're jealous." He smirks.
"No, I'm not!" I say
"Yes, you are!" He says taking a step towards me and I take a step back.
"Noah, I'm not!" I knotted my brows together.
"Oh, yes you are. Just admit it. You're jealous of her." He smirks continuing taking steps towards me.
"Noah I swear I'll throw something-" I fall back on the bed and Noah climbs on top of me.
"I know you are. Stop lying." He smirks.
I tried pushing him away but he wouldn't move. I tried to kick him but he locked my legs together by pressing his legs on each side of mine. He held my arms above my head so I wouldn't push him anymore.
"I'm not lying. Let go of me, Noah!" I say.
"Say it, say you're jealous." He smirks.
"No," I say turning my face to the side.
"I swear I'll start tickling you." He says.
"Go ahead, I'm not ticklish," I smirk.
"Well then..." He moves his hands down to my stomach and tickles me. I try my best to resist but I couldn't handle it.
I squirm underneath him. "S-stop," I said trying my best not to laugh, kept a serious face. He continues to tickle me and I couldn't help but giggle. He immediately stops and I could finally breath.
"Did I just hear you giggle?" He smiles.
"No," I say.
"I can't believe I finally made you laugh. I wish you'd do it more often." He smiles.
"You're insane. Get off of me." I laugh.
"I could hear you laugh all day. I'm honestly shocked." He smiles.
I couldn't help but smile. I stare into his chocolate brown eyes. He truly is something else. Everything about him just fascinates me.
"I wish I was able to read that beautiful mind of yours." He studies my face.
We both heard a knock on the door and he immediately got up leaving me on the bed. I turned my face to see the door. He opens and Ava was standing there in her thin silk purple robe barely covering her spaghetti strap top. She looked at me on the bed and I quickly sat up.
"I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I needed toothpaste. Mine is all done." Noah nods and goes into the bathroom.
I awkwardly smiled at her. Noah comes back with the toothpaste and hands it to her.
"Thank you! Good night." She squeals.
"Good night." Noah and I both say before he shuts the door.
He walks over the bed and gets in. "What was that?" I asked.
"What?"
"Toothpaste? Really? And who wears that to bed?" I say getting in beside him.
"I think you should. It'll make our time together more interesting." He smirks and I slap his shoulder.
"I have to ask. Did you guys use to have a thing?" I look at him.
"We did, but it wasn't exclusive and then I got married so, Thats it." He doesn't look at me.
"Did it end because of me? Because of our marriage?" I say facing him.
"No, I chose it to end. Nothing to do with us." He turns to face me.
"Why?" I'm curious to know.
"It's not important." He says.
"Fine." I huff and pull the blanket over me.
"Lara?" I hear Noah.
"Yes, Noah."
"Are we not going to talk about yesterday night?" He says.
"What's there to talk about."
I waited for him to answer.
"You're right. There's nothing to talk about." He says then turning away from me.
Why can't I just tell him? I hate that I'm falling for him all over again.
