You Belong To Me

44

The morning after dinner I woke up before my alarm. I lay in bed thinking about the the night before. My mom loved Noah which was good. But Andrew knew about Noah's past, and that put me on edge. I'm almost certain Andrew wouldn't say anything to my mom, not after Noah's threats.

Noah tried to get me to go home with him last night but my mom politely declined on my behalf. He annoyed me last night anyway, he didn't have to be rough with Andrew the way that he was, but of course he's rough by nature. Not to mention he embarrassed me in front on Andrew, speaking to me like I was a piece of dirt.

If I think about the night on a whole I would say it was almost a success. Dessert was ruined but at least my mom had a great time, she was more than impressed with her hosting skills.

I checked my phone to see a text from Noah.

Noah: I'll be with you in 20 x 

I finally dragged myself out of bed after a nice morning full of overthinking and worries.

Thankfully my mom wasn't downstairs once I went down to wait. I know when me and my mom are alone she'll grill me about everything that was mentioned at dinner, the most important being the fact I was no longer going to Europe this summer.

By the time I'd finished my cereal Noah's car horn was beeping outside letting me know he was here. As much as Noah doesn't like me giving him attitude he definitely deserved some this morning for how he acted last night.

As soon as I sat in the passenger seat he tried to give me a kiss, I gave him my cheek.

"Uhhh, Annabella don't start your bullshit with me this morning I'm seriously not in the mood." I looked over to him, I mustered up the dirtiest look I could conjure before focusing back on the view out my window.

"Come on baby, I know you're angry with me but it wasn't my fault. The doctor disrespected me, heck he disrespected us both. You know I had to show him who's boss." Noah placed his hands on my legs rubbing his hands in a smooth circle motion. I knew he was trying to sway my mood in his favour but I wanted to let him sweat just a little longer, so I shoved his hand away.

"Noah, all you had to do last night was behave and you couldn't even do that for me."

"Yeah well maybe if your moms boyfriend wasn't such a nosy, condescending fucker we could've had a good night."

"Andrew was just being protective over me, he obviously knows all about your extra curricular activities. You better just hope he doesn't tell my mom."

"YoU bEtTeR jUsT hOpE hE dOeSnT tElL mY mOmMy" He said in an annoyingly high pitched voice. I know for a fact I definitely didn't sound like that. I looked over a Noah to see him smirking at me and I couldn't help but crack a smile.

"Look, I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to ruin your night." Keeping one hand on the wheel he entwined our hands together, bringing them up to his face so he could place a kiss on them. "Apart from that I had a really good night. It's so weird doing normal things like meeting a girls family. I've never done that before, it was refreshingly nice."

I squeezed Noah' hand slightly as it rested in my lap, the revelation warming my insides. "I had a good time, I know my mom did too. I'm sure she thinks the sun shines out your ass."

Noah laughed as he parked his Range Rover outside my school. I made no move to exit the car as he turned to face me. He stared at me for a moment before he spoke. "You're so unbelievably beautiful, do you know that?"

"Well you like to remind me often so I guess I do." I leaned forward slightly and gave Noah a gentle kiss.

"I mean it Little Red. There's just something about you that oozes sexiness. I don't even think you're aware of it half the time."

I couldn't help but blush at Rippers words. He could be charming sometimes. Whenever he wasn't trying to intimidate the hell outta me.

"It's crazy to me that you're still not 18 yet." He spoke, analysing every part of me.

"Yeah you shouldn't say that fact out loud, it makes you seem like a creep."

"Don't give a fuck baby. You're 18 soon anyway and after that no one can judge us."

The fact that Noah was older than me didn't even cross my mind anymore. All the reasons I used to list as to why he was so bad for me didn't even resonate with my anymore, and that was a scary thought. 

It was scary trying to remember exactly why I fought so hard against this thing between us that's rapidly growing.

Weeks ago Noah was nothing more than a big, sharp thorn in my life. Now- now he's basically my fucking boyfriend. I mean no labels have been put out there, but that's what it feels like.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" He asked.

"I'm just thinking about the fact that I've grown to slightly- and I mean ever so slightly, not mind being in your presence."

A satisfied grin came across Noah's face, his eyes lighting up simultaneously. "Music to my ears kitten. The feeling is mutual. It's weird, I don't know how to explain it but I definitely feel something deep for you. I can feel it right here." Noah placed my hand on his chest softly, causing my eyes to widen.

Before I could even try to dissect what he was getting, a loud rap against the window caught our attention. I turned my head away from Ripper to see Hailey standing there pointing to the invisible watch on her wrist.

"I guess that's my cue to leave." I gave Ripper a awkward smile before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek and exiting the Range.
