My Little Blessing

Chapter 39: Crash

"So I'll come around 4?" I check and he nods in agreement "Yes" he answers verbally. Today, unlike any other day ever since Noah came into this world, Josh and I woke up before him. We were both confused but after checking up on him to make sure he was okay we just came to the conclusion that he was tired from last night and took advantage of him sleeping in for the first time in his life. Noah sleeps easily, when we moved him to his room it took him a while to adjust but as it became a routine he got used to it, there are some days where he wakes up in the middle of the night and I, or even Josh goes to console him, but we always manage to get him to fall back asleep in his own bedroom.

Obviously we should've gone back to sleep but Josh and I just decided to snuggle in bed and go through the plans for today as we waited for our sweet boy to wake up. Since its Auggie's birthday today, Josh is going to be out of the house for the entire morning to hang out with all the guys as they entertain Auggie with a bunch of activities. Auggie desperately wanted his cousin to come and begged Josh to bring Noah but we both decided it wasn't a good idea. Josh would be missing out on the fun since all he'd be doing is looking after his eight month old son instead of participating in whatever they were going to do, which is why we said no. Since Amy and Alan are coming back from Philly later in the evening it meant that I'd be alone with Noah for the entire morning.

"I still can't believe his asleep" I admit with a smile as I look at my boyfriend, "I hope he keeps sleeping in every day" Josh chuckles and tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear, "Me too but I have a feeling it won't happen again, at least not in a while" he sighs making my heart sink slightly. He's been doing so much work and even though he doesn't really want to show it, I can tell he's tired. He's trying to do so much to make his future better but its draining him and there's nothing I can do about it. He's as stubborn as me, telling him to take it easy won't help because he can't. The only thing I can do is show him that I'm here for him and that I love him.

He doesn't really get days off anymore. Today was the first one of this month and probably his last. He used to have the weekends off before he started extra classes which pretty much filled up his entire schedule. Now he goes bright and early to work on the weekdays and goes to extra classes in the evening until around 8 pm which isn't that bad but Noah is already in bed around that time, that is if we aren't going to eat out with the family. Luckily he does have long lunch times which he spends as much time to hang out with his son. On the weekends he's up early and off to classes until 2 pm where he then has the rest of the day off, it's not too bad but he does get a lot of work to do at home so it takes away his time as well.

We're both exhausted, him with work and me with school, I only have a month and 3 weeks left before I graduate though, I really can't wait to be done but I also know that in a few weeks I'm going to have to go through a shit load of exams and that is not going to be fun at all. Same goes for Josh, he's going to go through a few exams which would technically mean he's going finish his second year of university. Even though he doesn't go to NYU anymore the studies he does now should back him up along with the exams he's going to do. Overall I know that the next few weeks are going to be a disaster.

"You know I love you right?" He smiles looking down at me lovingly, he lifts a hand and gently places it on my cheek as he rubs his thumb along my skin, "I know" he whispers "And I love you much more" he leans down, pressing his lips on mine in a soft kiss. My heart flutters with not only his words but the feeling of his lips moving in sync along with mine.

He guides the kiss, successfully parting my lips with his tongue as he explore my mouth. I let out a soft moan and he shifts, moving to climb on top of me. I part my legs, letting him rest in between them as I grab the waistband of his sweatpants to pull him closer to me. I moan against his lips as I feel him against me. His lips stray from mine, moving to kiss my cheek down to my jaw and neck. I bite my lip and hum when I feel him leave an open kiss right below my ear. My hand reach up to his hair, my fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck before I tug on it earning me a groan from him that only makes my body wake up even more. I'll never get enough of him.
