“Later.” He flashes a wink. “That way I can sink deep inside you and watch your face as I come.”
His words have my eyes nearly rolling to the back of my head.
Hell yes.
“There you two are,” Gemma scolds when we finally make our way to the front.
Tyler snorts, shaking his head. “I recognize that sex hair.”
My eyes widen as Gemma swats him. “That’s my brother. Please stop talkin’.”
Quickly, I flatten my hair as my cheeks go crimson.
“I better get back to work,” I say awkwardly. “Thanks for showing me around. Everything looks incredible.”
“Should be up and running in about six weeks,” Tyler says proudly. “Just waiting on some final pieces of equipment and the boxing ring.”
“And hiring more people,” Gemma adds.
“That juice bar is gonna be a hit.” I smile, giving her a hug goodbye.
Before I walk out, Noah pulls me aside and kisses me.
“See you tonight for movies and popcorn.” He winks.
When he comes over to visit, Noah parks a block away, then enters through the back door. Though I hate we have to be a secret, I’m also enjoying keeping our relationship status within our inner circle only. The moment people find out, I’ll be bombarded by rumors, so it’s nice to enjoy this quiet time.
“How was your pizza?” Missy asks as I walk through the doors.
“It was…” I tilt the corner of my lips. “Hot.”
I go to my office and shut the door for my conference call, which is boring as hell. The end of my shift can’t come soon enough. Owen’s been bouncing off the walls excited to watchStar Warstonight, and I’m eager to hang out with Noah. Though he typically stays till one or two in the morning, it never seems like enough time.
After work, I pick up Owen from my mother’s, and he immediately begs me to stop by the bakery.
“Please, Mom? We can have cupcakes for dessert! And it’s not a school day tomorrow.”
I sigh and give in. “Alright, just one, though.”
As we walk to the car, my phone rings with Noah’s name.
“Hey,” I answer.
“Hey. Just wanted to give you a heads-up that I’m gonna be a little late. Brittany called and said she’s stranded with a flat on some country road ten minutes outside Mobile and needs a ride back to town.”
Agitation rolls through me.
“She can’t call a tow truck? Or someone else?”
“She said she tried but was given a two-hour window, and she doesn’t want to sit out there in the dark. No one else answered, I guess. She’s with Anthony and doesn’t have a spare.”
I have a hard time being mad, knowing she’s with her son in the middle of nowhere on the side of the road.
Though I suspect this is just a ploy to get Noah’s attention, I know it won’t work. There’s no harm in him helping her out either.
“Alright well, just please be careful. Text me when you’re on the way back.”
“I will. Once I drop them off, I’ll go home and shower, then be right over.”
