Chapter 12

Noah's POV

Brett and I had packed some food, swim shorts, and towels and decided to go to the beach. I wasn't sure what beach he was bringing me too, but I was ready. It was still summer, and today it was particularly warm outside, so it would be nice to take a swim in the ocean. 

I suddenly realized he was taking me to the beach close to his grandparent's house. I saw their house as he was driving towards it to park his car. He drove another way then I had last time, that's why I didn't get where he was taking me at first.

We brought our stuff down with us to the beach. Brett wouldn't let me carry anything as he held onto the chair and our bag of clothes and food. 

I walked behind him, just looking at the tall guy in his tank top exposing his tan skin while walking in the sand to find a spot for us to sit. 

He placed both our chairs next to each other and the bag between. I smiled at him and applaud him for his good job, which made him laugh. Listening to his laugh was really one of my favorite things recently. 

He reached for me and was able to catch my arm to pull me closer to kiss me before he removed my top. Honestly, yesterday I wouldn't have let him, but he had started to make me feel very comfortable around him. Just this morning, the fact that he was the one stopping us from going all the way, was impressive to me. I was ready to give myself to him, but I loved that he wanted it to be special. I really didn't think Brett would be like that.

Once my shirt was off he was quick to pull off his own and he smirked at me since I was watching him. 

He took my hand and moved it across his torso. ''You can touch as much as you want, it's only yours'' he bent his knees to kiss me once again before he took my arm and lead me to the water. 

Once we were in the water we swam a little further out and I was happy that the water was very calm today, not many waves and it was standing more or less still. Brett was swimming faster than me since I wasn't the best swimmer. I am ok with swimming in the ocean, it's not like I'm scared, I'm just not that skilled. 

When I reached Brett he laid on his back on top of the water and I did the same we were laying there for a moment before we heard some seagulls that were walking around our stuff.

''The food!'' I said as I saw them starting to do stuff to our bag. Brett was quickly to swim to shore and I tried my best to keep up but I reach the sand long after he had managed to scare them away.

''Mission accomplished, they didn't get the food'' Brett said and motioned his hand for a high five, which he got from me.

I was breathing heavily once we got back to our chairs. ''Everything ok?'' Brett asked me and looked at me with worry.

''No, everything's fine. I'm just not the best swimmer, so I sometimes get a little stressed out when I start to swim fast and I don't feel very at peace in the ocean'' I told him honestly.

''No worries, I'll look after you, the ocean should be a safe place for you, just like I plan to be'' I smiled at what he had said and was very happy that he wanted to be my safe place. I kinda need one now that I kind of rely on him since my mother threw me out.

''What's wrong?'' Brett asked I guess I had gotten a sadder expression when thinking about my mum disowning.

''Sorry I was just thinking about my mum''

''Don't apologize Noah''

''Also, I want you to know that I'm very grateful that you let me in when I was afraid that I might have nowhere else to go'' I told him right before I started to cry. Shit, I hate to cry.

''Noah'' Brett walked towards me and hugged me as tears were coming out.

''Besides, you wouldn't end up without a home. Dad and Papa would let you stay with them if I didn't say you could live with me.

''What?'' I said and dried my tears.

''Yes, Papa was going to let you live there, but I insisted that I needed the company.

''Serious?'' I was so confused. Had actually Brett insisted for me to move into his flat. I honestly just thought his fathers had recommended it to help pay rent. Which now seems unlikely since Brett has a very high income.

''Believe it or not, you were not the only one that started to get feelings last time we were at this beach'' he smiled at me and kissed my lips. I was shocked by his statement. He has liked me, I mean, he likes me too? I thought he was just flirting with me like I could imagine he does with so many others. It's true, I was flattered by it, but I didn't really think of myself as special every time he did it.

''Oh before I forget. I'm going to Milan next weekend. I would love for you to join. All expenses are paid by my management, and I'd love to take you on a real date and I think it would be romantic to do it there, don't you think?'' Brett said as he looked at me smiling enthusiastically.  

Is he serious, Milan? We would go on our first date in Milan? That's too good to be true, unimaginable, surreal. I've never even been outside the country. I would have to renew my passport, buy a suitcase ...

''Noah?'' Brett said and tapped my arm. I turned towards him a looked confused. ''You're not answering my question'' Brett said with a smile.

''I would love to'' I said and kissed his lips. I have a whole week to fix everything.

''Well after that kiss I'm getting hot, let's jump back in the water'' he said and tried to pull me up from the chair.

''I think I'm gonna sit here and watch you'' I said, holding back to stay in my chair where I felt comfortable at this moment. 

''Oh, you want me to come up from the water, with glistening muscles that shine from the reflection of the sun when it hits the saltwater on my body'' Brett said and moved his hands all over his body in a jokingly matter. Letting me remember the time I was talking about him coming out from the water to Elliot. 

''Jerk, you're gonna use that again me forever'' I chuckled.

Brett placed his hands on the armrest of my chair and put his face in front of mine. ''Til death do us part'' he said and ran towards the water.
