Noah's POV

"Just jump, I'll catch you," Tyler said and I shook my head brushing my long hair from my face.

"I scared," I said and he shook his head.

"You have nothing to fear, baby girl," he assured me and I looked in his eyes, searching for truth behind that assurance.

"You promise?" I asked and he smiled.

"I promise, baby girl," he said. "Jump." I jumped towards him and he held out his arms, just as he was about to catch me. He moved.

I jolted awake and shot up, my heart was pounding and my breathing was labored. I looked around and noticed this wasn't my room. It was Braxton's.

"You're awake," someone said and I looked at Braxton. "I was about to drag you out by your hair."

"Oh right, because simply shaking me is too much," I shot back and his eyes narrowed.

"We have somewhere to be, so go get dressed," he demanded and I got out of the bed.

"Go where?" I asked and he turned back around to me.

"Does it matter?" He asked.

"Yeah actually is does, because it affects my outfit," I shot back and his eyes narrowed.

"We're going to the gym, I need to teach you to defend yourself," he said and walked to the bathroom. I flailed my arms and walked out heading to my room.

I shut my door and walked to the closet, I opened it and I searched around. I grabbed my outfit and tossed it on the bed.

I slipped on some shoes and started to head out from the room and down the stairs

I slipped on some shoes and started to head out from the room and down the stairs. Braxton was on his phone and he looked at me.

"Finally," he said and walked to the door, I made a face at his back. "Don't make faces like that," he turned and looked at me. "It's not ladylike."

"If you look real closely," I said in a whisper. "You'll see how much I don't care." With that, I pushed past him.

The ride was quiet as we drove to the gym and I was pretty fine with the silence. We finally stopped and I looked at the building. Braxton got out and I followed his action.

He opened the door and I walked in first, I looked around and it was huge. It was mostly men working out, I didn't see any women. I looked back at Braxton as he laced his hand through mine.

We walked through and the guys were definitely getting good looks at me. In result, I gripped Braxton's hand tighter and he glanced down at me.

"They're harmless," he said. "Besides, they wouldn't be stupid enough to touch what's mine."
