Days I spend with you.

chapter 16

Anisah

The following days Atlas and the rest of the guys took me to amazing places across Greece and I couldn't have been happier we went to see the acropolis museum. Everything was so beautiful. Atlas kept taking photos of me wherever we were and I watched as he looked down at his phone with a smile on his face.  Noah has been a little nicer to me lately but he was still quiet.

I still remember the kiss we shared and it was amazing ever since then we've gotten closer to each other and he would always hold my hand wherever we were.  I couldn't be more happier, I don't remember the last time I was surrounded by people who cared for me.
Right now we were at the beach of Vouliagmeni, the sight was breath taking. It's a warm day and the guys set up everything, I was treated like a princess by everyone of them. They kept bringing me food and drinks to try. "your punches are stronger them most men". Noah came and sat besides me. we laid a blanket across the soft sand so we could all sit together. 

i had a green 2 piece with a  skirt on. i applied sunscreen to my arms and glanced at him. he was shirtless with blue shorts on. his lip ring was gone and he had sunglasses at the top of his head. he reached into the cooler and took out some pink lemonade handing it to me. "here Zion bought them for you" i slowly took them from him. Noah has never came up to me willingly wanting to speak to me.  "thank you" he looked down and stared really hard into the ground, "I'm tying to apologise to you, since you came here i have been unwelcoming and have treated you wrong and i want to apologise" hrmm he's not very convincing, "and before you say it no nobody told me to" 

"why now after all this time?, I have been nice to you actually when I first saw you you glared at me, did not speak to me at all but was so friendly with everyone else, so tell what have I done to you" he clenched his jaw, before giving me a sad look, "you look like my little sister, when I first saw you, there was this glow that you had, it was so innocent, something none of us are used to and I know what happens to innocent people like you in a shit world that I live in they always get hurt in the worse ways" he was breathing heavy at this point. "whoa Noah here drink this" I bought the drink to his mouth and he took a small sip,

 "fuck I'm sorry I'm trying to not get my emotions up" I gently patted his back, "your very precious is what I'm trying to say none of us have ever been attached to someone as much as we all are to you and i don't know why I just see you as a little sister and I'm scared of anything bad happening but your so clumsy and reckless, and for some reason you punch like Bruce banner. "  laughed at what he said, "that actually like the second time I ever punched someone"  he laughed, "when was the first?" I sat my can down and tried to think, "oh yeah it was in high school a guy told me to go back to my country so I punched him" he nodded , "as you should." 

i could see the rest of the guys coming back with bags of food, Manny wore a straw hat with 2 cans attached to either side and straws inside his mouth while Atlas gave him a weird look. "oh by the way i forgive you and I'm glad we can have a fresh start" before Atlas could sit next to me Zion jumped besides me and wrapped his arm around me. "looks like you two didn't get into a cat fight for once" i smiled and Noh told him to shut up. Atlas sat in front of me and began to unload the bag. "right, we got some falafel" I let out a whistle.

I saw Zion look at the drink in my hand before looking away with a smile. "here doll, this is for you" I felt my cheeks up, Atlas never gave me a nickname before and he said it in front of everyone. Manny chocked on his drink before speaking up. "since uh when" Atlas rolled his eyes before pushing him. "I told you not to buy that stupid hat". I will not tolerate this behaviour. "that hat is the best thing anyone can buy" Manny nodded his head in agreement, "i told you she would like it." Atlas didn't even look at him, "that the only reason i let you buy it." 

"whatever I'm never taking it off" he crossed his arm and turned his face away from his older brother who just looked baffled. "oh Anisah sorry i mean doll  got you one as well" I sat up right and looked at Atlas completely ignoring the little remark "no you didn't" he said nothing and pulled a green one out of the other shopping bag. he motioned for me to go to him and i got up instantly and sat beside him leaning into his side. he pulled me close to him, and helped me put it on. "be careful its still a hazard" he said before throwing a glare to Manny who still ignored him. 

we all dug into the food and when nobody was looking Atlas would throw in some quick kisses, until we heard Manny choke on his drink. he looked at us before giving us a bright smile and continues eating his food. I looked down embarrassed. "by the way you look beautiful" I felt him whisper in my ear we were so close his legs were touching mine. "thank you if my parents were to see me in this they would pass out" he chuckled before trailing his eyes across my body I felt a little insecure because being sat down my belly poked out, i tried to cover myself but Atlas held my hand in his.  "green looks good on you". I hear someone clear their throat.

"okay love birds can we leave I'm sleepy now" Manny got up and dusted him self off while everyone packed everything away. Bear helped me up and Atlas gave me his shirt it went past my knees. we headed back to the cars and a certain dread made its way to my stomach something was off putting about Arthurs house and him. During dinner i noticed the way he was looking at me and I felt uncomfortable.  when we got back inside it was quiet Atlas held my hand and we went upstairs together.  

i saw a shadow in the corner quickly disappear but thought nothing of it. !get a shower and change your clothes ill go after you" I nodded before heading towards the bathroom. I swear I saw somebody there.  it was already dark when I came out I headed to bed and waited for Atlas he came out only wearing joggers. he came to sit besides me, "were going to leave soon hopefully by the end of this week" I was slightly glad.  "finally i miss your garden" he smiled before hugging me. "also would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?" nobody has ever asked me out on a date. "I would love to" he smiled before giving  me a small kiss. shit what do i wear.  I'm glad we turned things around. 

a new beginning
