Permanent Fling (BWWM)

chapter 22

A/N: I know, I've been MIA for a minute now...No excuses! 

Here's an update for y'all♡♡

Noah's POV

I rolled over and patted the bed next to me. Nothing.

Muttering to myself as I'm walking down the stairs of my early morning sun-filled condo, pulling on a t-shirt as I go, I make my way to the living room knowing I'll find them there. Just as expected, Nala and Tucker are on the ground in front of the tv, surrounded by huge pillows. Tucker's big blockhead on Nalas small tiny frame. The two of them lying there comfortable as ever, as if it were a Saturday morning routine. I can't help but think, it looks right. This picture in front of me looks right.

"Good morning." Nala looks back at me with a smile.

"Really?"

"What?" she asked as her eyebrows crinkled together.

"This is new for me."

One of her perfectly shaped eyebrows lifted, quietly questioning me.

"You're the only girl I know, that loves to leave my bed before I wake up."

She smiled. "Did you want to cuddle?"

"It would be nice." I admitted a little too quickly.

Nala tilted her head to the side. As if she were processing what I had just confessed.

"Okay go and get ready. Lets go to breakfast." I instructed.

The entire car ride over to the café, was spent with us having small talk. I did occasionally glance over to Nala and see her constantly avoiding someone's call or text.

Once we arrived. I shut off the car. Got out and walked around to the passenger side to open Nalas door. I took her small hand in mine to help her out. We walked hand in hand as we entered the Ihop. Once the waiter showed us to our table, he took our drink orders to get us started and informed us that our waitress would be here shortly to take our order.

I looked up at Nala only to see her angrily tapping her phones screen with her thumbs. "Everything okay?" I asked her a bit worried.

"Hmm? Ohh yeah, it's nothing." She gave me a half smile that didn't quite convince me.

Deciding to just ignore it for now. I changed the subject. "My brothers bachelor party is this weekend."

That definitely caught her attention; as she was no longer on her phone. "What are the plans, where are you guys taking Benjamin?" She asked right before our waitress made her way over to our table.

"Hi, I'm Carla. I'll be your server this morning." She told us as she placed her tray that held our drinks onto the table. "Coffee with sugar?" she asked looking between Nala and I. Nala smiled and slightly raised her hand signifying it was hers. Carla slid the coffee mug to Nala. "Here you go handsome." She smirked placing the glass of non pulp oj in front of me. Along with her chest on full display.

"Thank you." I replied paying her no real attention. But I did glance over at Nala just in time to see her roll her eyes. When I looked back at Carla she was still staring at me with a stupid grin on her face trying to seductively lick her lips. Nala looked from me to Carla and back again.

"Okay, I'll have the chocolate chip pancakes please." Nala tried to order. When she realized that she still didn't have our servers' attention she had this look of pure annoyance on her face. She just looked at me and shook her head. "Carla!" Nala raised her voice. When Carla turned and looked over at Nala with a glare, Nala continued to speak. "Whenever you're finished checking him out, I'll have the chocolate chip pancakes."
