Life Without Noah Flynn ✔️

Date night.

That's it, one day off from night duty before I start again on Tuesday. I'll be using my time wisely and getting a few more chapters to add those left unpublished that I have been editing feverishly. Thanks for the votes and comments so far comments are always appreciated. I never thought I'd get this hooked. Thanks to my new commenters (msstanley93 and humioka)
Self control is definitely an art 🤣
Hope you enjoy this. X

He drove us out to a little Mexican restaurant down by the beach. Like a perfect gentleman, he pulls out my seat at the table the server showed us to.
I love Mexican food, like the creature of habit that I am I always have chicken fajitas. Thing is I never seem to be able to get through a meal of them with out wearing half of it down myself. The usual napkin tucked into my dress just wouldn't say sexy date wear though. I look at the light blue dress I'm wearing and don't hold out much hope.

We are sat on a table set for four but Noah takes the seat next to me so he can rest his hand on my knee. He gives it a squeeze as I'm reading from the menu. And I look up at him, his head is studiously looking down at the menu but I can see his grin.
The server comes over to take our order, we both order soda's and Noah orders nachos to share, glancing over to me to check that's ok. I order my obligatory chicken fajitas.
"Mmmm sounds good I'll have the same please" as he snaps his menu closed and hands it to the waitress.
She walks off and he turns to me. "Are you still going to stay tonight? I know I got you there under false pretences but I'd like you to. I thought I could take you to school in the morning if you don't mind"
Do I mind, is he kidding. I'd be wondering what was wrong if he didn't want me to stay with him. I've been dreaming of being wrapped up in his arms and going to sleep that way for weeks now. The fact that he has asked me and is still unsure is so endearing. Confident Noah Flynn is not so confident after all. I still get a thrill out of the fact that I can make him like this.
"Yes Noah, I'll still stay. I'm not sure why you'd have to ask to be honest"
"Well I know I've not totally made things up to you yet but I'm trying. Thought I ought to make sure."

I place my fingers to his lips to shush his words and to reassure him I lean across to kiss him lightly on the lips. I pull away slightly and rest my forehead to his. "I'm still as crazy about you as before so stop worrying"
We break apart then as the server brings us our drinks and Nachos.
I can't handle Jalopino's so I tuck them to one side. Just like Lee he eats them for me. One of them must have been particularly hot as his face blanks suddenly and he splutters and reaches for his drink. I laugh at him with abandon and any tension that had been there was lifted as he manages to laugh at himself between fanning his tongue with his palm comically.

And we carry on like this like two little kids, each trying to pick the best nacho with the most amount of dressing and cheese on it till there's just one left. We eyed it and each other, both reaching for it at the same time. His quick reflexes get there first and he gives out an "aha!" In triumph. I sit there pouting at him as he takes a small bite and lifts the rest to my lips. I oblige in opening my mouth and letting him feed it to me licking his thumb for good measure. Eliciting his sexy, sexy smile.

When the entrees come I move to take the hand away that he's been holding rested on my leg. He squeezed in response refusing to let go.
"I can eat with one hand, I'm not letting go" He glares at me, looking and sounding like a petulant child determined todo something that their parents forbid.
And so I watch with interest, my free elbow rested on the table propping up my chin. I watch him one handed pick up his fork, spear some of his filling off the skillet and place it on the tortilla. He folds it messily but triumphantly and lifts it to his mouth.
Then however I watch as a stray piece of chicken, drenched in guacamole falls out right onto his chest. He put down my hand then with a grin.
"Ok you win but eat fast!"
Despite their obvious differences I marvel at the fact that when you came right down to it, he and Lee were quite similar.
I manage for the first time ever to not spill a single drop and look smug at him with his stained blue shirt as a reminder of the dufus he's just been.
Noah settled up the check and I saw he left a big tip. "Big spender" I nudge him. "Well.....when the server managed to keep a straight face when I made a fool out of myself I figured she earned it."  He obviously hadn't seen her stifle a laugh when she saw him do it but I won't correct him.

We took a stroll along the beach, he had bent down to take of my shoes and carried them
in his fee hand. We just walked in silence, not awkward in anyway but just holding hands and enjoying each other's company.
Under the pier he gently rested me up against one of the supports and took my face in his hands kissed me with such tenderness. "You smell so good" I whisper in his ear as he's trailing kisses up my neck. We had kissed in his room before coming out but it had been so short in relative terms. My skin was tingling and the ache I had to be close to him was building. Having him kiss my neck so gently was driving me crazy. I needed him more so I grabbed him roughly to kiss him deeper. He pushed his body closer to mine. The pole of the pier pushed hard against my arching back. His hands now tracing my body, his thumbs tracing the curve of my breast. I break off, almost panting, reaching up my hands behind his neck and tug at his hair.
"Think some ones ready for a trim."
"I'll get it done when you're at school tomorrow" his eyes are now smouldering from our heated out door make-out session
"Or I could just not go to school, and I could come with you?"
"No Elle, I am not making you miss school for me. End of."
"And you say I'm bossy Noah Flynn"
"Maybe I am but when you do it it's cute"
"And you think you're not cute?"
"How many times Elle....."
At that he lifts me up making me squeal, and carries me back all the way to the car. All the while looking at me smiling his stupid sexy smile.
Reaching his car, he drops my shoes and momentarily throws me over his shoulder, knocking the breath out of me. He opens the passenger side door and after playfully smacking my ass he gently rests me down in the seat, kneeling down to brush sand from my feet. I slip my shoes back on and close the car door while he's walking round to the drivers side.
Once he puts his car into drive he reaches down for my hand and holds my hand as we drive back to his place.
The drive at the Flynn's is empty, Lee must have gone out too.
My palms are becoming sweaty and I mentally scold myself. 'This is Noah, you love him stop being so nervous' but the look in his eyes tell me that he is feeling the same.
Setting the car into park, he moved over and took my face in his hands tenderly. Looking at me with his piercing blue eyes, I felt like I could be lost in them. "Shelly, are you absolutely certain you want to stay here tonight, last chance to change your mind?"
My heart is racing and I just answer him with a passionate all consuming kiss that leaves us both breathless.
We eventually break apart and get out of the car and walk towards the now empty house....
