Life Without Noah Flynn ✔️

Early mornings

I'm just about to go to sleep now but thanks for all the reads so far. There's something in this chapter that some might find a little weird. But it comes from a time when I was still in my teens at uni and my good friend told me about something her boyfriend did. I remember at the time thinking that I'd love to have someone who would do something like this for me. Anyway I do now, (not that I've ever asked him to but I know he would if I did.) Anyway this is probably too cryptic so I'll let you get on and read, I'm sure you'll know what it is when it comes. Comment on what you think??

I wake in the morning sweltering. Noah is draped around me holding me so close. His arms and legs encircling me. Despite the heat I feel cocooned and safe. I lay there for a moment just watching him sleep, smiling to myself. I'm also marvelling at the fact that I am   Actually awake, pre alarm (and multiple snoozes I might add) and before him. I'm usually the one to be metaphorically dragged kicking and screaming from my pit. The ultimate lazy teen. I don't know why I'm like it. I usually get a good amount of sleep, I just always want more of it.
That's it though, I can take no more, no matter how good the view I'm currently ogling. 1: I'm ready to expire from heat exhaustion and 2: I really really need to pee.....bad. I attempt to move but he just clings to me all the more like a limpet to a rock. I whisper to him in his half asleep state that I'm just going to the bathroom. He reluctantly releases me and mumbles something about Shelly-Bear never letting him down. With that I get out into his bathroom.
I feel a sense of relief at emptying my bladder and hop down the hall to knock on Lee's door.
He opens it to me with a glazed expression (don't worry, I'm not naked)
"Well I thought I'd never see the day, Rochelle Evans, up with the larks. What's the special occasion, did you have too much cool aid last night and piss in Noah's bed?"
"Piss off Lee, I just woke up. I may be up out of character but I still wouldn't mess with me right now"
He knows I'm kidding but he leans down, takes a bow like a complete clown.
"M'Lady what can I do for you on this fine morn"
"Better", the cheeky bastard.
"I just thought I'd see if you were up, Noah wants to take me to school today, so wanted to make sure you're ok with that."
"I know, he's taking me too, so don't feel like you're so special"
I knew his faux politeness couldn't last. "Oh great, I'll let you finish getting ready then, but I call shotgun!"
"Yeah, like I ever stood a chance. Hold up, now I'm sure you're keen to get going back in there." Gesturing to Noah's room. "But I was thinking"
"Brain hurt does it" (two can play at this game Lee)
"Har har Shelly, you should see if Harvard offers a major in comedy instead of doggy studies. No I was just wanting to know if you'll come Christmas shopping with me next week once School breaks up. I need help, I've never had a girlfriend long enough to last over Christmas"
Once Today is over with there's only Monday and Tuesday left at school. I have to get something else for Noah too so I agree and tip toe back into the other Flynn's  room.

He's up and out of bed now too and turns to me as I walk back in.
"Jesus Shelly, what's up with you, your alarms not even gone off for you to snooze 15 times......are you sick or something?" He playfully rests the back of his hand to my forehead for comic effect.
Noah is now fully awake, although not fully dressed wearing just his boxers .....damn what a sight in a morning!"
"Once you have quite finished teasing me I may just get ready for school" I huff and wander into his bathroom to turn on the shower. I stand there, mentally counting down. 5...4....3... not even getting to two and he's there behind me.
"Seeing as though you so rudely denied a severely frustrated man of an online shower show. I think you at least owe me a live viewing."
"Previously frustrated I hope? ...No funny business" I point at him. " I have to get ready for school, if my mans taking me to school in front of all those girls; who secretly want to cave my head in I at least want to look good. So I need plenty of time."
"You look good to me right now." He looks down at me, I'm wearing one of his T-shirts, its so long on me that it skims the mid point of my thighs. "Yes Shelly I promise."
He traces the shape of a cross against his heart. He closes the lid to the toilet then and positioned himself there on it as though he's actually just going to watch me get a freaking shower.
" oh no no no, you're not just sitting there like some old perv, help me wash my hair" I grin down at him.
Both in the shower now and he washes my hair with the same gentleness of last time. He must have noticed me looking at his razor and pulls his hand up to clasp his chin.
"What's up, not particularly liking the rough look this morning?"
"On the contrary I love my bit of rough" I emphasise the fact by licking his cheek then grazing my teeth along his bristly stubble.
"What's with making eyes at the razor then?"
"Nothing"
"Shelly" he replies in a reproachful voice
"Seriously, I'm not doing that while you're here"
"Oh, you want to shave your legs, don't let me stop you" he folds his arms across his chest watching me.
"No! And eww I'm not shaving my legs with your razor."
"Oh for gods sake" he reaches into the cabinet and gets out a fresh razor and kneels down. His back is to me and hooks my right leg over his shoulder with his arm, resting my thigh over his shoulder. He acted so quickly that I didn't have time to protest. I have to brace my hands on the side of the shower to try prevent any embarrassing accidents in there. Come on who wants to have a paramedic come to you after you've hit your head whilst your boyfriend shaved your legs in the shower together.
I watch him lather soap up my shin and have to laugh when he goes to shave them in a downwards motion.
"No Noah, upwards"
Oh .....right, well I can't say I've ever shaved my legs, or anyone else's for that matter."
"I'd be worried if you had, more so if you'd done your own though"
And so he dutifully shaved both legs and for good measure and checking out his fine work he runs his hands up my legs. "Smooth as a baby's butt"

That has got to have been the most bizarre few minutes of my life I think to myself as I'm getting myself dressed. Noah had gotten dressed fairly quickly into jeans, shirt and a hoodie and left me to continue getting ready by myself.
I sat across from the mirror and carefully apply a little make up. I'm not into the whole full face look, just enough to make me look less tired, or drab against all the wannabe super models at school. Once I have done, I realise I failed to bring myself a hair dryer. I can't be bothered going on the hunt for one so I just palm a little mousse into it after I've towelled it dry and work it through with my fingers, scrunching it every now and then. I have a natural bend to my hair so if I'm lucky it'll just dry into perfect Beachy waves. Who am I kidding, I'll take a hair tie with me just in case.  At least with getting up so early I have time to see how it fairs before leaving. So I stuff a brush into my school bag, fix my tie and head to the door.
I can't believe I have actual time to spare. No running out the door pulling on my tie with a piece of toast in my mouth as Lee blares the car horn. Maybe I could get used to this, I muse.....Nah despite their teasing they're absolutely right. This will most likely never ever be repeated!
I open the door and the smell of bacon hits me and I need no further invitation to get the hell down stairs to fill my face. I could seriously get used to being treated like this at any time.
Lee and Noah are already at the breakfast bar tucking into their bacon and eggs. A plate full of said delights is sat on the counter top next to where Noah is sat so I sit myself down, and tuck in.
"Help yourself Shelly why don't you"
C'mon who else is it for, .....Shelly-Bear?" I hear Noah choke a little as he turns to glare at me.
Laughing I just raise an eyebrow, and begin to wonder what hell I'm going to get for that later. For now though I'm pre-occupied thinking about the reception we'll undoubtedly receive when he takes me to school this morning.
