The Girl In The Dirty Shirt Noel Version

Chapter 144

Later that night, Noel and I laid in bed together, both of us were quiet, but neither one of us was asleep.
I laid with my head on his chest and my arm draped across his torso, listening to his breathing, watching the steady rise and fall of his chest in the darkness as I felt his calloused fingers stroke my arm gently.

"Noel?" I asked into the darkness, not moving from where I laid.

"Hmmm?" He asked, the noise vibrating through his chest

"We should go somewhere..."

"Ly, it's..." I felt him shift to look at the clock on his side of the bed "two o'clock in the mornin'."

"I mean away, on vacation, just you and me..."

"And where would we go?" He asked only seemingly half interested in the idea

I shrugged against him "Somewhere different, somewhere other than the States..."

"And what about Jack?" He asked "Sally wouldn't be able t'take care of 'im the whole time we were gone..."

"Your mom would watch him for a few days, wouldn't she?" We both knew she would, Peggy loved taking care of Jack; he made her feel "youthful" she always said.

"Where are we goin' then?" he asked, pressing his lips into my hair

I shrugged again and thought for a minute before I answered "The Bahamas"

"You want to go to The Bahamas?" he asked

"You promised you would take me when we were on our honeymoon remember?" I asked

He laughed a little "I was hoping you didn't..."

"We can go somewhere else if you want..."

I could feel him shake his head "I'll start making calls tomorrow"

A couple of days later we were sitting on a beach with drinks in hand and not a care in the world. Being away from home and completely by ourselves for the first time in a really long time, it was like Noel and I were on our honeymoon again.
Since we hand landed yesterday afternoon, every time we had walked anywhere, Noel's hand was holding mine tightly, sitting on the beach he helped me put my sunscreen on my back, kissing my neck as his hands rubbed over my shoulders.

I turned my head to meet his lips before I leaned back into his chest, resting between his legs.
He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and I sighed watching the water.

"I miss Vegas..."

"What the hell are y'talkin' about?" Noel laughed lightly behind me "Look where y'are, Ly..."

I nodded in agreement "Yeah I know, and it's gorgeous here, but Vegas is like..." I paused trying to find the right words "It's like our place, y'know?" I asked looking over my shoulder at him

"We'll go to Vegas on our next vacation, yeah?"

That time I laughed "When are we ever going to be able to do this again and not have to have Jack in tow?"

"We will..." he answered squeezing me a little tighter

"Promise?" I asked looking back over my shoulder

Noel nodded "I promise."

Later that night, Noel and I sat across from each other at a small table in one of the many outdoor restaurant s on our resort.
I had slipped off my flats and was burying my feet in the sand under the table; Noel had taken off his sandals and decided that the best place for one of his feet to go was up under my dress.
I laughed moving myself back out of his reach.

"Stop it," I tried looking at him seriously and couldn't help laughing. "Someone is going to get pictures of you doing that, we'll be the talk of the town when we get home next week."

"Lost your edge, Mrs Gallagher?" He teased raising his eyebrows at me as he took a drink from his glass.

I shook my head "No...I'm not wearing any underwear, Mr Gallagher..." I smiled at him across the table "So, unless you want everyone on the resort to see what's yours, I'd be careful about how far up you push that foot of yours."

He eyed me suspiciously setting his glass down "You're lyin'..."

"So what if I am?" I asked bringing my own wine glass to my lips "You willing to take that chance?"

He bit his lip still studying my face, trying to figure out if I was telling the truth or not.

I set down my glass and picked up my fork picking at the pasta on my plate "Oh and Noel?" I asked looking up at him and he just raised his eyebrows questioningly "I'm really horny..." I whispered.

**

The door to our room banged against the wall as Noel's mouth devoured mine. I lost my balance falling none too gracefully on the bed, Noel falling on top of me before he knelt between my legs, taking the deep V of the dress and splitting the fabric down the middle.
He looked at me with a smirk and I just smiled wrapping my arms around his neck as I started to pull him closer.

"Told you so..."
