♡ NOAH

I come back from my run completely out of breath and with a cramp in my leg. Yeah, yeah, go on, say it. I ran with a head full of frustration and hangover and didn't warm up or pay attention to my breathing. 

But fuck did I need it. It's the only time my brain stops when I run so fast that there's no room for bad thoughts and worries.

My phone vibrates in the wrap around my bicep and I check to see who it is. It's Angel. What the? He sent me a location and tells me to run there fast. I ask him why and he replies with the name that can make me run until I drop dead.

Ama.

I start running towards the location he sent me and worry does fill my mind this time. After a few minutes, I see her. Awww baby no. I run faster and drop down on my knees next to her to pull her into my arms. I kiss her beautiful ginger hair, the sounds she lets out stabbing my heart.

She's having a breakdown and I don't know how to help her. I panic and try to let go of her but she clings to me. 

Her voice sounds squeaky and broken, "Please hold me, Noah. Please. I can't do this alone. I'm losing it."

I brush the hair out of her face and rest my hands on her cheeks, kissing her lips lightly. 

"You can do this. You're fucking Ama. You're an amazing, strong, and smart woman. You can handle whatever life throws at you. You were gifted this amazing body to be able to stand strong in any storm. To have enough room for your bravery and your big, loving heart."

I don't know where the fuck that came from and feel a little stunned myself. But it made her lift her head and her beautiful green eyes connect with mine. She looks so broken that I pray my words can glue the pieces back together.

She sniffles and mumbles: "I shouldn't be here with you. Shouldn't burden you with this when I don't even..."

"When you don't even know who to pick? Ama... I said I only wanted to be with you if you chose me with all of your heart. But that doesn't mean I can't be there for you when you need me. It doesn't mean I suddenly stop caring about you. So stop feeling guilty already."

She chuckles a tiny bit and I wipe the tears from her cheeks, kissing her lips gently again.

"What do you want right now beautiful?"

She rolls her eyes. "Yeah right, beautiful. You've seen me cry so many times and we're not even together. I look like a kitty caught out in the rain."

A smirk creeps onto my lips as I say: "I love wet kitties."

She gasps first and then bursts out into laughter. She cries again. This time from laughing. Her emotions are obviously shot but I love that slightly hoarse laugh so much. It warms me up from the inside.

I wait for her to calm down, stand up, and hold my hand out at her. She grabs onto it and gets up on her unsteady feet as I wrap my arm around her waist firmly to walk back to the hotel. 

I walk her back to her room and she immediately lets herself fall onto the bed.

She relaxes on the bed and I decide to draw her a bath and order breakfast from room service.

She takes her clothes off and slides into the bath as soon as the tub is full. 

I almost moan, longing for a shower at the very least.

She looks at me and laughs, "Noah, join me. You stink."

I pretend to be shocked but quickly take my clothes off and get into the bath like an excited kid. The water spills over the edge and she chuckles at my enthusiasm. I sigh when I slide further into the water. Ahhh this feels good.

I feel her hands on my left foot and she starts to massage the soles of my feet firmly. A moan escapes me, making a smile appear on her lips. I hear her soft voice as I close my eyes, enjoying the feeling of her soft hands rubbing my foot.

"I saw you were limping a little. Did you push yourself too far?"

My eyes shoot open to look into hers. She saw. And I just now realize that she talked to Angel. 

Oh here comes the embarrassment. Might as well throw it all out there.

"I drank too much yesterday after you ran out of my room. I'm sorry that I was jerking off. But watching you do all the poses in those tight leggings. It took all of my self-control to not fuck you right there on the beach."

Okay, that came out way more harsh than I meant it to be. But fuck me, I didn't stutter.

She chuckles and starts massaging my other foot. "Noah, it didn't bother me at all. It was kinda awkward and I left because you looked devastated. But I take it as a compliment knowing you get turned on by staring at my ass from behind."

Fuck me. Something's growing. 

And there are no bubbles in this bath. Just scented oil.

And I keep trying to avoid staring at her pink nipples that play hide and seek with the waterline. Not to mention her wet kitty. I swallow my chuckle down quickly and she continues to speak when I make eye contact with her.

"Angel made me face things. And when you found me, all of my suppressed pain and anger came out all at once. It was really scary and I was afraid it was going to kill me."

She looks into my eyes and I read it all in there as usual. Her fears, worries, and insecurities.

I pull my legs up and move closer to her, grabbing a hold of her hands as I say: "I would never think less of you. I only know a tiny bit of what you've been through and I already think it's too much. And I came up with this trip to help you."

I hear a knock on the door and Ama looks a little startled. 

We hear someone yell room service and I chuckle. I totally forgot about breakfast.

I get out of the bath and wrap a towel around my waist, making my way over to the door. The young man bringing us our breakfast looks a little flustered and I pretend to search for something on my naked body. 

"I would tip you, but..."

He almost runs out and my laughter soon gets mixed with Ama's. 

She walks into the room naked and wet and I nervously swallow the lump in my throat down. 

Fuck me. 

I can't be friends with her like this.

♡♡♡

Double update!

Because I need to get these chapters up and then step back.

And rest before working on the next. 

I hope you enjoyed these two. 

Let me know, please.
