Chapter 50 - Hello

It's 8:13am when I wake up the next morning, my naked body wrapped in Noah's. I stretch out and upwards causing him to stir and I watch as he scrunches up his nose and clings onto me tighter.

Ever since what I told him last night he hasn't let go of me, we even showered together before we went to bed. I turn around so that I'm still in his arms but facing him, "wakey wakey," I smile removing a few stray strands of hair that are covering his eyes, "we have things to do."

"Okay, okay," he frowns, "just five more minutes."

I laugh, "Nuh uh," I protest, "I'm getting up now."

I sit up but he clings to my waist making it almost impossible to get out of bed, "but why?" He whines only making me laugh more, "why can't you stay? Stay with me."

"I'd love to," I say kissing his cheek, "but I have to move, we have to move."

"Fine." He huffs putting on a pout which only makes me laugh more.

As soon as he's released his grip from around my waist, I jump up from the bed before he has the chance to grab me again and Harley trots into the bathroom with me.

Once I'm there I quickly take a shower letting the hot water hit my body for several minutes before I get out and wrap a towel around my body. When I get back to the bedroom Noah is still in bed, in fact I'm pretty sure he might have fallen asleep again.

Right, time to have some fun!

Making sure that the towel is securely wrapped around my body I grab one of the pillows on the floor and smack him on the head with it.

"Hey!!" He moans sitting up and running his eyes and giving me the evils.

Now that I have his attention I drop the towel leaving me completely butt naked I front of him, and to my delight I get the reaction that I was after. His jaw hits the floor as he pulls the duvet back and walks towards me, using this as the perfect opportunity to be a tease I run down the hallway as quickly as my legs will carry me and turn around to see that he is still quite behind.

"Where are you?" He huskily asks, "I'll find you!"

Covering my mouth with my hand to stifle my giggles I reply, "in the bathroom, come and get me!"

I peer around the wall that I'm hiding behind to see him walking straight into the bathroom, "Lacey?" He calls out.

I laugh before I shut the door, trapping him in the bathroom. I hear him groan loudly, "now be a good boy and take a shower!"

"You're mean!" He whines as I hear him turning on the water.

"Oh you love me really," I shout back as I walk into the bedroom to get dressed.

"I really do!" He yells and I blush at his reply.

After he's finished having his shower and is finally dressed after some gentle persuasion from me, I feed Harley and we eat breakfast together along with our morning coffee.

I'm just about to go and put my make up on to go into town when the doorbell rings, Noah looks around at me raising an eyebrow as I know we're both thinking the same thing.
Who could that be? No one told us they were visiting us.

I dry my hands on the tea towel after washing up our plates and head towards the door, we've given up on using the spy hole as we know the guards wouldn't let anyone in that we didn't know.

"Darling Lacey!" Julie smiles when I open the front door, "I know I've shown up uninvited but I just wanted to check up not my two beautiful children!"
