Noah Princeton

Chapter 43

I hear Ivy and Kate laughing so I look up from the book I was reading to see them laughing at Noah and Levi while they wrestled in the living room with the other guys cheering them on. I look up at the perfect time to see Noah putting him in a chokehold. I let out a dry laugh which caught his attention. He looks up at me smiling and Levi got out of his chokehold and pinned him to the ground. "Tap out," Levi ordered. Noah chuckled as he tapped his arm. Levi booed him as he let him go. "You never give up so easily. You usually win." Noah shrugged as he stood up and walked over to me. He sat next to me and I leaned my head on him as he glanced down at my book. 

"Fifty Shades of Grey?" He asked with amusement. I look at him with a smile. 

"What?" He shakes his head. 

"Is there something you're trying to say?" He asked. I shake my head and look back down at my book. 

"Noah let's see you go against Trent," Levi said. I look over at Trent who was drinking a beer while he relaxed on the two-seater couch. Trent glanced at Levi and then Noah and let out a high pitched dry laugh. 

"I'm perfectly fine with not knowing who will win." He said. Levi crossed his arms. 

"Scared you'll lose?" Trent nodded. 

"Yup," Levi smirked. 

"Pussy." I look at Levi. 

"Why do you have to be such an ass?" He looks at me. 

"Relax Hope, I'm only playing around." I shake my head. 

"You are trying to start a fight." Levi opened his mouth to reply when Deon stood up. I looked at him. He walks up to Levi. 

"Let's go." Levi looks at him. 

"What?" Deon shrugged. 

"You want to see people fight so much. Why don't you fight me?" I sat up and set my book down. 

"Deon," I hissed. He smirks. 

"Okay," Levi agreed. 

"Babe," Kate says softly. He looks at her. 

"Relax, I won't hurt him." She huffs as he turns back to him. Levi swings first but misses. Deon watches him for a few seconds as Levi plots where he is going to hit. He swings for Deon's chest which Deon blocks only to have Levi hit him in the jaw. Deon let's out a low chuckle. Levi smirks. He aims another one to which Deon catches his arm and twists it and punches him in the gut. Levi groans. Deon's leg swings under his feet causing Levi to lose balance. He was face-first to the ground with Deon's knee on his back holding both of his arms. Levi looked pissed. "First rule in a fight. Don't piss off a cop." Deon hissed. He stood up and Levi rolled on to his back. Deon looked at Trent and back at me. I looked at Levi who was glaring at Deon. 

"I never said I was done," Levi spoke. Deon let out a dry laugh. 

"Really? From the way that you groaned it kinda sounded like defeat." Levi stood. 

"Levi, man take the loss," Noah said with his voice laced with worry. Levi looked at him and nods as he walks outback. I groaned and rubbed my face. I opened my eyes to see Noah watching me. "Are you okay?" I nodded. 

"Just a little tired." He nods. 

"Why don't you go lay down?" I shake my head. 

"I slept too much yesterday." He lets out a small laugh. 

"We are on Christmas break. You are allowed to sleep in as much as you want." I gave him a small smile. 

"But we only have less than two weeks left. I don't want to waste my time sleeping the night away." He smiles. 

"You should get as much as sleep as possible because tomorrow we have to get up early to cook." I sighed as I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes. 

"Happy?" I asked. He chuckles. 

"Almost." I before I opened my eyes I was being lifted his the air with him holding me. I gave him a confused look. 

"Noah," He smiles as he carries me outside. Before I knew it he was setting me on the bed in the guest house. I rolled my eyes at him. "I was fine where I was at." He just cackles and turns around. 

"Get some sleep beautiful." I roll my eyes once again. I groan and lay my back on the bed. I sighed as I look up at the ceiling. "Did you want me to lay with you?" I heard. I look towards the door to see Noah leaning on the frame watching me with a smile. I smiled and moved over. He walks over to the bed and takes off his shoes. He lays down next to me and lifts his arm so I could cuddle up to him. He places a kiss to my head and I close my eyes.
