Just a Boat

Chapter 1

I grabbed a bag of stale chips from the counter and watched as my boyfriend played his Xbox One. It was two in the morning, and I was dead tired. A zombie, really. I walked over to him and he moved his headset from around his ears.

"Those good?" He asked, nodding towards the chips.

"Oh they're great," I shrugged and passed him the stale chips. He took a handful and I could hear the crunching.

"They're stale," he said plainly, still chewing. He ate the rest of his handful and looked at me, his sparkling sea green eyes staring at me.

"What?" I asked, a little flattered he was looking at me so intensely.

"I kind of want a sandwich.." He grinned cheekily.

I rolled my eyes but I couldn't let my boyfriend starve. I huffed and stood up to head to the kitchen and make him a turkey sandwich. As I was in the kitchen, my heart fluttered at the sound of his laughter as he talked with his online friends through his mic. I have lived with Cole for a year now, but I have known him for almost six years and we've been on and off throughout the past two years.

When I walked over to hand him his sandwich, his phone binged and I was a little curious as to who exactly was texting my boyfriend on Facebook at 2AM.

"Who's texting you at 2 in the morning?" I asked, slightly annoyed.

"Huh?" He said, his mouth full. He tapped on his home button to wake his phone screen. "Oh," he stumbled, "I guess it's one of my buddies I went to school with. He's in a different time zone now, he doesn't realize it's 2AM here."

I was relieved to hear it was just an old friend. "Okay, I think I'm gonna head to bed," I yawned.

Cole glanced at me for a second and then looked at the tv screen again. "Alright babe," he said without looking towards me. "I love you, sweet dreams."

I bent down to kiss him and told him goodnight. When I walked back to our room, I realized Cole left his computer on and he was still logged into his Facebook. I saw the message notification that appeared on his phone, and I was tempted to tap and see what he had to say to Cole. I fought the urge because I felt maybe that was ridiculous - I trust my boyfriend.

"What are you doing?" Cole whispered from behind me and I jolted.

"Oh, nothing," I quickly closed the browser and spun the chair around to him. "I was just logging you out of Facebook babe."

"Did you go through my messages?" He asked hesitantly and for a second I thought maybe he was hiding something until he added, "Never mind babe, it doesn't matter. Thanks for closing it out."

I smiled weakly, kind of wondering if he is hiding something. We've told each other everything but I guess I never really thought if maybe he was hiding something.

"You're welcome," I said calmly and slowly walked toward him, admiring my boyfriend. He wouldn't lie to me.

His smooth, freckled skin was something I could never get over. The way Cole's sexy, dark and thick hair was styled back always caught my attention but those eyes - those damn gorgeous eyes of his and that quirky, cocky smile was the first thing that caught my heart.

"I love you," I mumbled, sliding my hands around his neck and weaving my fingers through the back of his hair. "I'm so glad we can always tell each other anything."

"I love you, too, babe," He whispered into the crook of my neck and I could feel him inhale the scent of my hair. His hands wandered down to my waist and a little lower, making me giggle at the sensation. I shivered once I felt his lips touch against my neck softly, and I couldn't help but let out a small moan.

I could feel Cole's smirk against my neck as he continued to kiss harder and my fingers tugged stronger at the ends of his hair. He began to slowly push me backwards until the back of my knees brushed against the bedside and he slowly leaned me onto the bed.

The feeling of his lips all over my thighs and his hands gripping my waist drove me insane. He loved teasing me; it was something he specialized in. The closer he got to my sweet spot, the more I whimpered.

"God, Cole," I moaned, throwing my head back and gripping the sheets.

"I'm just getting started, baby," he replied, his voice smooth and deep.
