Noah's POV

Today I had plans to meet with Elliot for a quick cup of coffee and later Brett is picking me up to go to a furniture store, but he had some work to do first. 

''Hey Noah'' Elliot said as he saw me sitting at a table, waiting for him. I stood up to give him a quick hug before we went to order our drinks. I had arrived first since it was walking distance from the flat, while Elliot had to catch a bus to get here. 

''How is it living with my brother'' Elliot smirked at me, knowing well that I have had a crush on his brother for a while now.

I friendly punched his arm before we grabbed our drinks and sat back down by our table. 

''I mean, it's going well. But, I'm a little shy I guess, since I'm a bit embarrassed just to look at him while we're talking. Also, I didn't really know your brother was a professional model'' I said when I suddenly remembered the magazine on the coffee table.

''Oh yeah, he's been doing it for quite some time, guess we never really talked about it. That's kinda where his income comes from'' Elliot said. Obviously I knew, I remember Brett had told me with that smirk on his face when he noticed me blush as I watched the shirtless photo of him. 

Elliot and I continued drinking and talking until I got a text from Brett, asking where I was. I told him what café we were drinking at and not long after he pulled up with his car, waving his hands at us.

We both got out of the café and sat down in his car. I took the front seat while Elliot sat in the back. Brett drove Noah home first before we headed to the furniture store. 

Once we had arrived at the parking lot of the furniture store, Brett turned his torso around to get something from behind his seat. I had to move as I noticed how massive Brett was, making it barely enough room for me to sit in my seat as he got the things he was reaching for.

''Ready'' he said and smiled at me once he sat normally again, facing me. I just smiled at him and we left the car. 

He grabbed a trolly once we had walked through the entrance door. We walked beside each other but didn't say anything. He didn't seem awkward, but I was.

''Look!'' He said and walked towards some decoration. ''We have to get this, it reminds me of you'' he said and chuckled.

I looked at the object and looked back at him with an annoyed expression. However, his smile was too sweet and I couldn't help to smile myself, instead I just friendly punched him in his arm ''Shut up'' I said as he continued to laugh.

Looking at the framed photo he had shown me. I thought it was funny that I remind him of a chihuahua in a biker jacket with black sunglasses. I guess he can see better trough my tough exterior than others do.

We continued walking towards the bedroom department, but not before Brett had put the framed chihuahua in our trolley. 

''What about this one?'' I said and pointed to a single bed that was small, but I didn't really need anything bigger.

''What, you don't want a double bed?'' Brett looked at me confused. Why would I need a double bed? 

''Why should I buy a double bed when I only need room for myself, besides it's cheaper?'' I asked confused.

''What if you want me to accompany you?'' he smirked.

I was shocked but I kept my emotions in check. ''I'll just come inside your bed then'' I chuckled at own my joke. Brett just smiled and I was happy that I was able to keep a straight face without blushing while joking about something like that.

''We're going to find a double bed'' he said as he continued to drive the trolley. I guess he's the boss, I thought to myself as we continued our hunt for a bed, that both me and apparently now Brett approved as a suitable bed for my bedroom. 

After some time, we found a nice double bed that also had storage drawers built into the bed. ''Wow, the price though'' I said as I looked at the price tag. I can't buy a bed for that much, especially with the fact that I'm already currently going to borrow money from Brett since my mum left me broke and homeless until Brett helped me. 

''Don't worry, I told you I'd help you pay'' Brett said and wrote down the number of the product on his phone, so we could easily find it at the self-service warehouse.

''But this is too expensive for you to help me with'' I told him, getting more serious.

''Relax, think of it as a moving gift'' he smiled at me.

''Are you kidding, a more fitting moving gift would be the framed chihuahua'' I said almost getting strict with him.

''Listen Noah'' Brett said and got closer. ''I'm here to help you. I can understand that you feel like I'm giving you too much, but if you had already forgotten, you were left with nothing, and I want to help you, so please let me'' Brett put his hands on my shoulder and looked me in the eyes. He was looking sincere, yes I felt like he was spending too much money on me, but at the same time, I was very grateful.

''Thank you Brett, I'll pay you back one day'' I said and looked down and way, pretending to look at something else.

''Don't worry about it'' Brett said and kissed my cheek and walked away with his trolley like it was nothing. 

However, to me, it meant a lot. I put my hand to my cheek, feeling where his lips had just been placed, probably becoming red like a tomato.

''Are you coming Noah?'' Brett said as he turned his head to look at me.

''I'm coming'' I said and powerwalked until I was walking beside him. 

We got the bed and bought some other things that were needed for my room, that Brett forced me to let him buy for me. I can't believe how much money he was just willing to let me borrow. Well, in his words I wasn't going to borrow money, these were all gifts, but this guy is crazy if he thinks I'm letting him pay this much for me to have some materialistic objects inside my room. I was just going to buy a bed today for God's sake. Not decorating and furnishing a whole room!
