The Moment

Chapter Thirty

Running my hands through my hair, I thought about my day ahead. I had a couple of videos I wanted to film but I definitely needed some help with them. Watching the shampoo flow down the drain, I saw a pair of hands wrap around my body. His chest pressed against my back and although the temperature coming from him was a little colder than the one coming from my shower head, I could have lived in his arms forever. His kisses were soft as he trailed them down my neck and onto my shoulder, keeping his arms wrapped tightly around my waist.

"Good morning, girlfriend." He whispered against my skin. Turning around, I placed my hands on his shoulders and immediately smiled, watching the water drip from his hair.

"Good morning, boyfriend." Pushing his hair out of his face, I pressed my lips against his, pulling his body as close to mine as possible.

Noah was sweet but he said everything he needed to with just one kiss. Pushing me backwards, my back hit the shower wall as he leaned his right hand on the wall and kept his left on my waist. He deepened the kiss, pushing himself closer to me as his hand began to wander around my body. It was only in this moment that I realized, I wasn't going to be filming for a while.

"You two make me sick." Tayler said, walking into the kitchen. "Just because the water's running, doesn't mean I don't have ears." Smiling into my mug, I looked over at Noah, whose cheeks had turned a bright shade of pink. We had stayed over at Tayler's, helping to organize his room before the rest of his roommates moved in.

"On that note, I've got to go and help Blake with a video so I'll see you later." Noah said, kissing the top of my head before heading out.

"You two seem to be doing well." Tayler pointed out, reaching into the cupboard to grab a mug.

"I think so." I said, laughing. "We uh...kind of made it official yesterday."

"Whoa..." Looking over at me, I could tell by his voice he wasn't entirely happy about it. "Are you ready for that?...With him, I mean."

"Why are you being sketchy?"

"I'm not-"

"You are." I said, cutting him off. "Tayler, I have what feels like everyone else on the planet giving me shit, I don't need it from you too."

"Look, all I'm saying is things with the video just started to die down but people are still watching you and me and you know how Noah took that before."

"I told him exactly how you and I are. He knows better now." I explained. I know Tayler was just trying to look out for me but the last thing I need is him questioning my relationship because at the end of the day, it'll make me question it.

"I'm going to have a party tonight," He said, changing the subject. "but I'm inviting Thomas and I'm going to clear the air about everything. I'd really like it if you could do the same, Regs."

"No, Tayler. I have nothing to say to him anymore." Getting up from the kitchen table, I placed my mug in the sink before leaving the room.

"Regan, it's all petty bullshit and you know it! It's not worth dragging it out."

"He almost ruined what I have with Noah and for what? Because he felt like it? There's no way in hell I'm talking him and you know what? Count me out for tonight." I said, slamming the door as I left the house.
