Slexie - The Next Generation

Chapter 36

ELLIS'S POV

I wake up from the nap and see that I am still tangled in Noah's arms. I smile to myself before sitting up so I am not hunched over anymore. That wakes him up in the process and we are then both staring at each other.

"Hey." he says.

"Hello." I respond back.

"How are you feeling?" he asks, rubbing his eye. "Better than before." I respond. He smiles at me before slowly getting out of the bed. "Do you have a shift?" I ask. "Yeah I took off the afternoon to spend with you, but I have to work this evening." he responds.

"That sucks." I say, sitting back down. "Yeah. I wish that I could just stay here with you, but that can't happen." he says, coming back over to me taking me into his arms. "Is that so?" I ask. "Why yes it is." he says, pecking my lips before turning around again.

"Have fun!" I say once he gets all ready. "There's never a dull day at this hospital!" he says, blowing me a kiss, then leaving. I sit alone in the room for the first time in a while. I am left alone with my thoughts, which aren't bad. I smile to myself before getting comfortable and drifting off to sleep yet again.

**TIME SKIP**

"Welcome back" Noah says, opening the house door for me. "Thank you." I say, kissing him before walking into the house. Piper had to work so Noah said he would take me back to the house.

"Are you hungry?" He asks me. "I could use something to drink, but I'm not hungry." I say. "I'll get right on that." he says, smiling at me before going into the kitchen. "I don't know what I am gonna do with myself when you have to leave!" I say loud enough for him to hear me.

"Oh yeah, is that the case?" he asks. "Yeah it is, otherwise I wouldn't have said it!" I say back. I hear him let out a laugh before he comes back into view with a cup in his hand. "Aren't you the best boyfriend ever?" I say once he hands me the glass. "I really do try." He says. I laugh at him before we both crash down on the couch. I take a sip of the water before placing it on the end table and grabbing the clicker.

"Have any movies or TV shows in mind?" I ask turning the TV on. "Whatever you want." he says. "Do you really want to give me all the power?" I ask him. "I would usually say debatable, but I think I will give you this." he says to me.

"So thoughtful!" I say sarcastically.

"I really do try!" he says back to me in the same tone. From there we just sit on the couch, watching reruns of our favorite shows tangled in one another arms. When the last episode of our show ends, we turn the TV off and sit in silence. 

"Your beautiful" Noah tells me, putting his hand on my cheek. I feel myself start to blush, causing Noah to chuckle. "Your not to bad looking yourself." I say, putting my head on his chest. "I don't know what I would do without you." he says after we have a few moments of silence. "me neither." I reply truthfully. 

I sit up before continuing. "I haven't felt this safe in a relationship in a while, and even though I know that they are out there, it doesn't scare me as much as it use too. Because I know that I have you to protect me, and that's all I will ever need. You taught me how to love again, and I have to thank you for that." 

When I look back up at him I see him smiling like an idiot. I just laugh a little before placing my head on his chest again. "I would do anything for our lives to be like this all the time." he whispers, tickling my back. "Me too" I respond. 

A/N

Sorry for such a long wait on this chapter. I know that everyone probably thinks that this story is dead, but I have been so busy with school and the basketball season just ended so I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Thank you to the people who are still here though and I hope your going to enjoy what's coming your way with this book!
