Michael x Noah 🙏

10. ~Boss~

Michaels pov:
I wake up, Noah, like usual, was up before me, sitting at his desk. I wonder is he had any meetings today. I rolled my eyes in my head so he wouldn't see.
"Hey Michael, morning sleepyhead." Noah smiled.
"Hey- it's not my fault I can't fall asleep at night." I completely forgot about last night, so I go to stand up to go over to Noah, but as soon as I stand up, my legs collapse on the floor.
"Haha-" Noah begins laughing.
"Shut the fuck up."
He gives a sympathetic look while trying not to laugh. "Sorry, are you okay?" He walks over and holds out his hand for me. I grab it and hold onto him so I don't fall again.
Noah chuckles as he notices how I grab onto him tightly.
He picks me up. "How about just carry you around?" He says in a question way, but I know he wasn't taking it up for debate.
"But they will all knowwww-"
"They're all stupid fucks. They won't know."
"Wait- I have work today!!" I realize. I seriously cannot miss today, I need to see Hannah before she beats me to death. And so my boss won't fire me...
"Aw but I took today off for you-" Boah complains
"No you didn't, you just don't have any meetings." I say back to him.

A few hours later, it's 4:30. I'm getting ready for work, my legs, still not great, but I can actually walk without falling.
"Are you sure you have to go?" Noah said for the 200,000th time.
"I don't wanna leave Hannah there to work on her own. That's so unfair."
"Fine." Noah says under his breath. He walks over to me and kisses me on the lips quickly.
"Let me know if anything happens."
I nod, then start walking away.

I make it to the bar. I walk in through the double doors up front, Hannah's eyes lighting up immediately. She runs over and hugs me like she does every time I get to work.
"Hey heyyyy!" She says as she hugs me.
"Hey Hannah, sorry I keep leaving you here by yourself-"
"Hmmmm. I'm not very happy about it but I'll forgive you." Hannah says. "Oh wait- Boss what's to talk with you after work tonight."
"Really? That can't be good." I say, walking behind the counter. Hannah follows me behind, organizing a bit.

The bars really busy tonight. It's 8:30 and everyone is already here. I mean, it is Friday night but even so, normally people don't show up til 9-9:30.
Richard hasn't shown back up since Noah's little encounter with him. Thank god. I should text Noah and let him know I have to stay a little bit after my shift.
Noah 🫶🏻❤️:
M: I have to stay a bit after my shift so I'll be home a little later.

N: Okay love, have fun.
N: if that's even possible at that place.

I'm a little bit nervous about going to see him. He never calls me or Hannah in there unless we did something.

"Aye Mike! Get me an extra spiked margarita!" One of my "usual" clients says. I've told him so many times to not call me Mike but at this point, it's useless to tell him.
I make it for him, but I only put a little bit of extra spike in the drink, because he's not the best when it comes to alcohol tolerance.
I hand him the drink and walk over to Hannah.
"I'm out of tequila on my side, you got anymore bottles over here?"
"Yeah," she points to the top of the glass holders.

1:00am. Everyone's gone. Just me, Hannah, and the boss that wants to talk with me.

I look at my phone and see a text from Noah.

N: Me and Nicole are close to the bar, we're gonna come get you.

Wait, that's actually perfect! Hannah's car just broke down so she was gonna need me to drive her home, but now she can just have my car.
"Hannah, Noah's gonna come get me, you can use my car."
She smiles. "Really? Thanks!" She was about to leave but then, "I will, but I wanna meet your boyfriend again.~" she says in that mocking lovey voice.

I completely forgot the boss wanted to meet with me, because I felt his hand on my shoulder as he turned me to face him.
"Michael." He says in his usual cold voice. "You've been skipping work lately."
"I know sir. I'm sorry sir." I say, looking down.
"Do you have ANY idea how you're affecting the money I make here?!" His grip tightens in my shoulder.
"I'm sorry! It won't happen again sir!"
"You're right. It won't happen again." He kicks me very hard in my knees, I fall to the ground. He walks off outside. "Bars closed. Move." I'm not sure who he was talking to since it's only me and Hannah. A few seconds after that, I felt hand on sides, lifting me and setting me on the ground sitting up. It was Noah. He looked furious.
Hannah looked very concerned, but she knew I was in good hands with Noah helping me.

"Are you okay?" He asks me.
"M-mhm." I nod.
He stands up and helps me up.
"Ow! Ow!" My knees were kicked way harder than it felt. I literally can't stand on the without it feeling like hell.
Noah picked me up, kissing my cheek.

I looked at Hannah and saw her talking with Nicole. I know Hannah very well. I can tell by the way she's talking to Nicole, that she already likes her. Although it's been like, two seconds.
Hey you know what would be crazy? If Hannah lived with us too! I would love that, but it's not my house, I can't make that call.
