Fame or Fate // Noah Beck

26

I take a deep breath and tell the officer how my mom met Mark about a year after my dad had died. I explain how everything was fine at first but then they started drinking more and everything went downhill from there.

I tell her about all the times he'd hit me or yell at me and how my mother never stood up to him.

I eventually get to the other day when he hit and kicked me and I would've died if it weren't for Noah.

Noah. He saved my life.

"Well.." she pausing to finish writing something and then sets her pen down, "I'm sure your step-father will be going away for a long time since we also have your mothers statement." She tells me.

"My mom? Is she here? Can I see her?" I ask quickly.

"Of course." She nods closing her notepad and taking the file before saying she'll be right back.

She leaves and about 5 minutes later my mom comes in with Officer Ruiz.

"Alexis." She says softly.

"Hi mom." I don't make any move to get up and hug her so she sits across from me.

"I didn't know that would happen sweetie." She says softly and I almost believe her.

"Don't lie mom. You know it's not the first time this has happened. What if.." I take a shakey breath, "what if I died mom?" I ask her and her eyes widen.

"I'm sorry." She whispers.

"It's too late for that mom. I knew when dad died that something changed but I didn't think you'd stop caring about your own daughter for some as-,"

"Alexis." She says cooly.

"What?" I snap.

She doesn't say anything.

"I hope your happy mom." I say standing up and pushing my chair in.

"Honey.." she starts but I don't let her finish.

"Honestly.. they should be putting you away too for letting this happen to me." I say lowly.
"I wonder what dad thinks of you." I add and a tear rolls down her cheek as I open the door and walk out.

I climb into Noah's car and a tear rolls down my cheek but I quickly wipe it away.

"How'd it go?" He asks quietly.

"They'll call me in a few days with a court date." I tell him and he nods.

"Do you need anything?" He asks.

"No let's just go back home.. I mean to your home." I correct myself.

"It's your home now too." He says pulling out of the parking lot.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

Noah's POV;

I pull into my driveway and climb out. I go around to her side of the car and I open the passenger door. She's curled up asleep in the seat.

"Alexis?" I whisper.

"Hm." She hums still asleep.

I decide not to wake her so I scoop her up bridal style and close the door with my foot. Then I get to the door and luckily one of the maids opens it.

"Noah?" My mom asks worriedly coming in to the foyer. "Oh my." She says when she seems Alexis.

"Shes ok.. well she will be." I tell her and she nods.

"I'm sorry I freaked out when she first got here. It was just sudden. Does she need anything?" She asks me.

"Thanks mom. No probably just sleep. I'm going to bring her upstairs." I tell her.

"Ok. Let me know if she needs anything or if you do." She says again and I nod bringing her upstairs.

I set her down on the bed and kiss her forehead before bringing the blanket up and over her.

Then I go into the bathroom and close over the door but not all the way so I can hear if she needs anything.

⚠️ Mature part ⚠️

I turn in the shower then I pull my shirt over my head and step out of my bottoms before getting into the warm water.

I water runs down my body and I close my eyes.

The curtain opens and I open my eyes. She slowly steps into the shower. She doesn't have clothes on but I keep my eyes locked on hers.

"Hi." She whispers and bites her lip.

"Hi." I chuckle.

"I needed a shower.." she starts and I nod, "do you mind?" She adds.

I lean down next to her ear, "not at all." I whisper.

She reaches up and wraps her arms around my neck pulling me down until our lips meet.

Alexis' POV;

The kiss starts slow but eventually he gives in and it becomes faster, more needy.

He cups my face and kisses me like I'm his air. I bury my hands in his hair and he wraps his arms around me and pulls me closer.

I tug at his hair and he groans against my mouth and I smile.

He moves down kissing my jaw and then my neck. I tilt my head giving him more access. The water pours down on both of us but it doesn't bother me.

He sucks at the base of my neck and a moan escapes my mouth. His hands slide over the sides of my body down to my hips which he squeezes making me jump.

"I don't want to hurt you." He whispers.

"You won't." I tell him. He stares at me for a moment before kissing me again. One of his hands moves up and grips my breast and I moan again.

"I love that sound." He mumbles and my cheeks heat.

His other hand slides down and stops right at my clit. He used to fingers to rub it slowly and my head falls back.

He steps forward until my back meets the cool tile wall.

"Noah." I say breathlessly.

"Mmm" he hums against me.

"Fuck." I curse as he goes even faster before sticking two fingers into me.

I grip his shoulder for support as my legs begin to shake.

"Noah I-," the words fail to come out.

"It's ok baby let go." He mumbles and that's all it takes for me to reach my high.

I lean my head against his chest and the water still pours over us.

"Holy hell that was hot." He chuckles and I can't help but smile.

I look up and my eyes meet his.

"I want more."
