Chapter 32: What's It Going to Be?

JAKOBY's POV

Uncle Eddie found me a little black 2012 Volkswagon Beetle in decent condition six months ago. I wasn't in the business of complaining when something was a gift. I still couldn't believe he had actually snagged this car for me but he did.

"I just washed your car. I better not find any more gum wrappers under the seat either" Noah said whisking a towel at me. "You know damn well my car wasn't that dirty. I barely even keep anything in it" I laughed tossing the towel back at him. "No, it wasn't that dirty, but you know I have high standards for our vehicles" Noah bragged. "Anyway, what time is the team's holiday party? I think I found the perfect dress?" I said running toward the closet. "Any dress you put on better cover your ass, arms, breast, legs, and neck," Noah said sounding serious. "So, basically you want me to wear a nun's outfit?" I asked rolling my eyes. "Yep! I don't like any of them eyeing what's mine. I can't beat the hell out of all of them but I know I would get a few before I went down" Noah said demonstrating his fighting skills. "You ever miss boxing?" I asked. "I still do it in the gym sometimes but I miss it a little. I was semi-pro in college but football has always been my passion. I started boxing because my dad thought it would be a great outlet for me. Not to mention, he used to box in college. Neal did too but he chose to get into the business versus pursue it further after his 22nd fight" he said pulling out his old gloves. "Teach me," I said. "To box?" he asked curiously. "Yes, I can fight but it's what I learned from the streets. I never thought about having a professional teach me" I said stroking his ego. "I'm no professional but I'm decent," Noah said kissing my lips. "I hope you like your Christmas gifts I bought for you" I randomly said. "I better or I'm going to spank you" he joked biting my thigh. "I'm sure you mean every word" I giggled. "It's not going to be the same not having a date on my arm for my parent's Gala this year" he sighed. "Noah, I want to be invited. Your family despises me for a past they're trying to hide. I don't want to pretend that I'm okay being around them. I love you not them" I said pouting. "I know, babe. They'll come around if they want me to stick around" he said shrugging his shoulders. "They're your family and family is complicated but they love you. It will get better over time I hope. Until then, love them unconditionally" I said kissing his forehead.

We shifted gears and started wrestling around taking each other's clothes off until I heard our doorbell ring.

"I'll get it. You can have the shower first. Women take forever anyway" Noah said grabbing his shirt spanking my ass. "How about you join me then?" I teased. "I always planned to" he replied before disappearing into the living room area.

It wasn't like I couldn't see what he was doing being that our apartment was wide open. We used shutters to section off our bedroom in case we ever had visitors.

"Babe, you never said what time the party was," I said walking back toward him. "It's at 7," Charlie said shocking the hell out of me. "Oh, hey Charlie. I didn't realize we had company" I said backing away. "I was just leaving but Noah said I could borrow his black handkerchief for tonight," Charlie said smiling. "That was nice of him," I said looking over at Noah. "Yeah, I had forgotten all about it. Here you go" Noah said handing the handkerchief to Charlie who winked at me before turning around. "Aye dude, don't ever wink at my girl. Get the hell out of here" Noah said shoving CHarlie. out. "I was only kidding mate. Calm down" Charlie said teasing. "I don't play as that" Noah frowned. "I'm sorry mate. It won't happen again" Charlie said looking genuine.

Truth is, Charlie always flirted with me. So did Dillon. I didn't want to tell Noah that because I always blow them off. I'm sure Dillon does it to get under Noah's skin and Charlie si just a ladies' man. As a matter of fact, I'm sure he's messing with Maddie.

"I'm sorry about that asswipe. Where were we?" Noah asked carrying me into the shower before I could remove my clothes. "Hey! My clothes are getting wet" I whined. "Well, we better take them off then" Noah chuckled before peeling every thread from my body. "I love you crazy woman" Noah whispered in between kissing and groping me. "I love you too caveman. What do you want me to cook tomorrow?" I randomly asked. "Is that what's on your mind right now?" he asked laughing. "Isn't that on yours?" I said back to him. "I'm thinking about eating something but I fear if I put it on the stove or in the oven it could lead to a less desirable outcome" Noah joked. "Oh, my goodness! You are horrible!"I exclaimed. "The way I have you calling my name I would say that I'm pretty damned spectacular" Noah boasted. "You alright" I joked making us both laugh.
