Living With My Friend's Brother [BxB] ✓

Chapter 3

Noah's POV

The next morning I woke up in a new bed, it was the second night and I was happy to finally have a good bed to sleep in. I mean I was happy that I had a place to sleep at all, but the blow-up mattress can't compare with this bed.

Also, I had calmed down more from yesterday. Maybe I seemed very ungrateful when Brett only wanted to give me furniture and decorations to help and cheer me up. I thanked him of course, but maybe I should do something special for him one day?

I got up from the bed to get some breakfast before I would go for a run. Just as I opened the door I jumped at what I saw standing in the doorframe of the bathroom in front of me. Brett was standing there in just a towel with his tall, muscular frame with his inked chest and arms. I started eyeing him up and down and didn't really realize the smirk appearing on Brett's face before I moved my gaze back to his face.

''Like what you see?'' Brett asked, making me realize that Brett noticed me starring at him, just absorbing all of his glory. 

''Ehm... yes... no... I...'' before I could make my sentence I quickly turned around and hurried back inside my room before I shut the door. I can't believe I just made a fool of myself like that. He must think I'm an idiot!

I went to the corner of the room to sit on the edge of my new bed. Hiding my face down in my hands. Why was I acting like this, it's so unlike me?

Brett knocks on the door after not much longer than a minute or so. ''Hey, don't be embarrassed. I take it as a compliment'' I still kept my door shut, but could feel the smirk on Brett's face from the other side of the door. 

Suddenly the doorknob started to turn, I quickly got up from bed, but before I could get all the way to the door and lock it, Brett was inside. I was now standing in the middle of my room, with no idea of where to put myself. Brett slowly came towards me, and I couldn't seem to move an inch and before I knew it Brett was standing a couple of inches away from me. My heart started to beat faster; I couldn't remember another incident where my heart had been beating this fast. Not even right before telling my super conservative and religious mother I was gay could compare to this. 

I raised my head so I could look directly into Brett's eyes since it got awkward just stirring at the floor while he was in front of me. 

''Hey, you don't have to be scared of me'' Brett said with a short chuckle. ''I thought you liked my body'' Brett continued while looking into my eyes. I once again turned red of how bold Brett was. Which I had done a lot lately. 

''Wh... why do you think that?'' I asked, not brave enough to longer look back into Brett's eyes.

''One time I walked past Elliot's room back when I lived at my parents' house, you two were talking about boys, and I overheard you telling Elliot that you had a crush on me and how you didn't mind seeing me coming up wet from the water and share a warm blanket with you.'' I can't believe he heard us that one time, I want to die! 

''Well, here I am again, wet with water, and I could really share a warm blanket right now'' Brett said with a smirk. I was screaming on the inside and did my best not to look at Brett. 

''Relax Noah, I'm only joking'' Brett said and ruffled my hair. It wasn't a bad feeling having Brett ruffle my hair, but it was still annoying that my hair looked like a bird's nest now. 

 ''Well, I have to hurry, need to get ready for work. Have a nice day'' Brett said before he got out of my bedroom and continued getting ready. I was baffled and didn't know what to do with myself anymore. My plan was to go for a run, but I had no more energy to do so from the conversation with Brett. My heart was currently beating faster than it could ever do from just a run.
