The Bad Boy's Secret (Book 1)

Chapter 27: All Of Me

-Noah-

My fingers traced down the smoothness of her skin, feeling as much as I could.  My hand dipped into the curve of her waist to pull her closer.  I let my lips attach to her neck, leading up to her jaw to kiss her lips.  Her small whimpers and moans were driving me crazy.  The way her body would heat so quick under my fingertips nearly drove me clear off the edge.  Her hands laid on my chest, lightly curling her finger nails into my skin.  But nothing hurt. 

                The silence fell over us like a blanket.  The way she looked at me, the way she held my hands against her chest, and the way my name fell from her perfect lips.  It was little, but it was everything.  The sheet covered our bare bodies as we just stared at one another.  I watched a blush creep across her cheeks, in return making me laugh the slightest.  "You're staring." She smiled, giving my hands a gentle squeeze.

                "You're beautiful."

She ducked her head in the crook of my neck.  I could feel the breath of her laugh light against my skin.  "You're an idiot."

She lifted her head up, looking at me again.  I gripped her chin between my pointer and thumb to kiss her for what felt like was never enough.  "As long as I'm yours."

Her lips met mine again and she let out a sigh.  "I have to leave soon.  But there's time for a shower."

She didn't have to say anymore.

                We sat on the couch, fully clothed to my disappointment.  The movie was background noise, but she was watching intently.  I had my arm wrapped around her shoulders as she leaned against my chest.  This feeling was new to me.  Being with someone that cares this much is different, and I liked it.  I liked different.  And I liked the flutter feeling moving through my stomach. 

                I am sure of one thing.  I'm sure I love her.  I couldn't tell her.  I feel like the feeling is too new and it's too soon. It is too soon, right? I don't know, I've never had this feeling before. The thought of losing her forever felt like a knife to my chest all over again.  She meant too much to me and I'm not sure what I would do if I lost her.  I thought I lost her to Scott, but she was already mine before she was his.

                There's many things about Scott that Willow doesn't know about, and I'm going to keep it that way.  She doesn't have to know, because they aren't dating anymore.  Ash knows some of them, but there's something only I know about.  And maybe my parent's, but I'm not exactly sure.  The secrets I'm holding onto is killing me.  I want to tell her everything about me, but I can't.  She wouldn't look at me the same.  And that thought alone makes me cringe.

                She shifted a little under my arm and leaned forward.  I didn't even notice the movie was over.  "I'm going to call a cab so you don't have to leave.  And I don't want Ash to know I was here all day."

I nodded my head, "I'll see you at school tomorrow."

She pulled out her phone and walked into another room. 

                I stood up once she came back and walked her to the door.  "You have no idea how much I needed today." Her lips turned up into a small smile.  "So, thank you.  For being my getaway."

                "You know where to find me." I smirked, pulling her closer.

She placed a hand on the back of my neck and pulled me down to meet her lips.  "I don't want to leave yet."  She kissed me again, leaning her forehead against mine.

                "You don't have to."

                "I do." She stepped back into the hallway.  "I already have five missed calls from my mom." She laughed and dropped my hand.  "Tomorrow is another day."
