Ending Silence

Chapter 31

Morgan's POV

"Sage let go" I scowl, but all he does is groan in annoyance.

I'm lying on my back on my bed, trying to get up. I'm having some difficulties, however, since Sage has his head lying on my stomach with his arms wrapped around my waist tightly.

"You're not even asleep. Let me up" I groan, but he just tightens his grip.

I sigh, running my hand through his hair gently. I take a different approach. "You really are the cutest" I coo, and Sage scoffs.

"Yes, you are. Look at you. Refusing to let me go" I grin, but he ignores me. I groan again.

"You're supposed to get mad and let me go" I scowl. "Men hate being called cute. Damn you and your secure masculinity" I mutter, and Sage chuckles while I glare at the ceiling.

I remember one time in high school, I called a guy cute because he wrote a love song about his girlfriend, and he scowled and slapped me across the face...

And when I said to my dad one time he looked cute since my sister put a pink fluffy bow in his hair, he got a plate and smashed it on the floor, to prove he was not.

I open my mouth to tell Sage my stories, just as my phone rings.

I reach my arm over and grab it from the bedside table, seeing Marlow is ringing me. I answer and put it on speaker.

"Yes?" I say. "Luna and Diego keep nagging me to go to the beach. No way in hell am I dealing with Diego's annoying ass, and Luna all by myself. You're coming" Marlow says, and I smile.

"Great! Last time I went to the beach I was ten. I nearly drowned. I wasn't allowed to go to the beach after that" I say, and Sage snickers a bit. I glare playfully at him.

"I'll buy you a life jacket then" Marlow mumbles. "Anyways, they told me to be ready in an hour. That was forty minutes ago. So be ready in twenty" He says, and I scowl.

"Fuck you Marlow, couldn't you of rang me forty minutes ago?" I mutter. "Nah. Anyways be ready in ten".

"Ten?!" I repeat, starting to panic. "Yeah, I lied, they told me fifty minutes ago," Marlow says casually. I bite my tongue and hang up.

Sage lets go of me, rolling to the side. "Thank you for cooperating" I smile, quickly leaning down to peck his lips.

Only he grabs the back of my neck, keeping me there as he deepens the kiss. I slightly moan against his lips, a sound that thankfully gets suppressed.
By the time Sage finally pulls away, I'm panting, very warm, and in a bit of a daze.

Sage smiles, tucking some hair behind my ear. "Nine minutes" He whispers.

"Shit" I practically scream, scrambling off my bed while he laughs.

I run over to my wardrobe, scanning the content. I most definitely don't have a swimsuit here...

Improvising, I throw on one of Sage's shirts and a pair of shorts. This will do, I nod to myself. It's just the beach...

There's a knock on the door.

A loud, aggressive one.

"Just a minute Diego!" I yell.

"See? I told you I told her" I faintly hear Marlow say, and I chuckle as I slip on a pair of shoes.

I turn around, jumping when I see Sage behind me. "Weirdo" I mumble, and he smiles a bit, kissing my head.

"I'll come to your office after training tonight," I tell him, and he hums, eyes on my lips.

I smile at him, my heart racing a bit.
