12 JUST US

I felt Noah's chest vibrate and I could have sworn I heard him purr. As I felt my body relax between breathing in his sent and his arms around me, I pulled away smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips. I felt him sigh and saw the smile on his face. "That was nice Shelly baby." "Sorry, I..." "Don't apologize I know you are not ready for anything more yet, but I will take what I can get." He leads me back to my seat and we sit down once again. The manager brings over another waiter and says, "Mr. Flynn this is Warren and he will be your server for the rest of the night." We both look up and I start to chuckle "Well hello their Warren." "Ahh, why me of all people Flynn and Evans." "What are you doing here?" "Let's just say my rents are not too happy about some of the things that were posted about what I have been up too and well if I want money for gas, I had to get a job." I nod "Well, don't worry warren I won't tell the gang." "OK good. What can I get you two?"

We both ordered for our soup Crab meat and sweet corn supreme. As my entrée I ordered sir fry black peppered beef ribeye, while Noah ordered the Mongolian style Lamb Chops. As for our desert we both ordered the sinful chocolate it is basically a Chocolate and raspberry marquise, which is a chocolate decadence cake with raspberry jelly, timut and raspberry sorbet. I couldn't help myself and with every first bite I moaned the food was just delicious. I was so happy that Noah brought me here. During the meal Noah had asked me how I met Lewis and when I admitted to running away from my phone when I received the text telling me to stay away from Lee and his family with the intention of injuring myself so I couldn't play in the game that the scouts were watching he almost broke down in tears. He stood up picked me up sitting down in my chair setting me into his lap. "damn it Shelly, I never wanted to hurt you like this, or for anyone to do that to you." I cuddled into his chest "I am sorry Noah, I was just so hurt. First I thought you wouldn't let me explain John had attacked me, then to see that picture of you kissing Martina breaking up with me...now I know it wasn't you. Then to be told to stay away from your rents and Lee I couldn't...I just..." As the tears started to slide down my cheeks Noah brushed them aside "I never and I mean never wanted anyone but you Shelly and no matter what I will not keep you from my family because not only will that hurt you but it will also hurt them."

Once I was back under control Noah had let me sit down on my own and went to his seat so we could finish our dinner. He did look up shortly after he sat back into his own seat "I will have to thank Lewis for saving you. Even though I hated that pic of the two of you at the house I understand why you took the picture and why my mom was behind the whole thing." I couldn't help but giggle and shake my head at Noah. After Dinner Noah took me to our spot. I was worried at first he was expecting a repeat of our first time here but I took a deep breath deciding I would give him the benefit of the doubt. Of course, he made me put on the blind fold and it wasn't so much the location but what he set up.

I will admit I was annoyed when we arrived, and he made me stand there with the blindfold on for what felt like forever but once he removed the blindfold it was so worth the wait. He had laid out a blanket with candles. I was worried about the candles being knocked over until I realized they were battery operated. I giggled and snuggled into Noah side "thank you baby." I felt him stiffen and when I looked up at him, he was smiling from ear to ear. I don't know how long we were sitting there when my phone went off and it was my dad. "Hey dad." "Ok I will let him know and we will be on our way. Bye." I look up at Noah and he just groans "let me guess they are ready to explain what happened to Lee." "Yep." "Ok let's go."

Max had mind linked me while I was downstairs with Shelly telling me it might be best if I took her out to get her mind off what was going on with Lee. I knew he didn't want us to leave in case Shelly shifted but we both knew Shelly would only make herself sick worrying about Lee. Once I got her outside, I had her put a blindfold on and couldn't help but smirk at how much she groaned about putting on the blindfold. It wasn't long before we were at our destination and I led her inside. I had to motion to the hostess to keep her mouth shut since I wanted it to be a surprise for my Shelly.
