You're Mine, Always and Forever

70

"Noah?! Where's my white bikini?!"

"I don't know!!"

"You had it last!"

I have no idea why he had it.

I walked into the bathroom where he was taking a shower. "Oh, it's here" I said with a smile and he scoffed. "Shut up and hurry up. The planes taking off in an hour." I said before walking back out.

We spent two weeks here in L.A. and it was absolutely amazing. We stayed in a hotel and went out practically every day. Yeah, we did make out a lot but I don't know what's going to happen. All I know is that our love has grown stronger and I'm so glad I have him in my life.

I still find it crazy how at the beginning of the school year, I was certain I wasn't going to get involved with anyone because I thought I couldn't like anyone the way I like Noah now.

"The plane is actually waiting for us, not the other way round." He said walking into our room with nothing but a towel on the sits dangerously low on his hips. I've kinda gotten used to the fact that no matter how many times I complain, he'll never stop walking around half naked.

"Yeah, yeah whatever." I say zipping up my suitcase and wheeling it to the corner of the room. My phone goes off with a facetime request from Lexi.

"HI! MADISON!!! WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK BITCH?!"

"Hello, to you too" I giggle while she's frantically waving at the screen. "We're leaving here in 20 minutes to head to the airport." I say eyeing Noah and he groans before walking into the closet to get ready. "So anyway, how's life without me?" I ask teasingly.
"It's ok. Are you ready to go back to school?"

I roll my eyes.

"Come on, you've missed two weeks!"

"It's not the learning part, it's more of the 'people' that I don't want to see." I say running a hand through my hair.

"There's this new girl called Skylar who just joined the squad and she's amazing!" She gushes and I raise my eyebrow.

"Oh and can I see the pictures you took?" She asks and I forward them to her.

*************

"YOU'RE BACK!!!"

"Lexi, we saw each other less than 2 hours ago." I said.

"I know...you just disappeared after you got back." She said slumped against the sofa. "Where's Rosie?" I ask and she points to the dog bed where Rosie is there curled up in a ball sleeping.

Lexi gives me a 'really?' look and I roll my eyes. "When you have a dog, you'll understand." I say before pushing my suitcase to my room. I step in and immediately relish the last time I was here.

Flashback :

"He will not leave this place alive if he doesn't open his mouth."

"Baby you-"

"No!" I slam the hot device down. "He doesn't realise the stress he's putting me through!"

"You need to calm dow-"

"Not until he tells me what he knows." I mutter.

"What is he hiding?!"

"It's not that simple!" He growls.

"It seems pretty straightforward to me!"

"He has a reason for this!"

"WELL WHAT IS THE REASON?!?!?"

"HE'S GAY!"

Shit.

"Wait What?" I stutter.

"Baby, he's gay."

He still hasn't admitted it. Ben was acting really strange this morning. And why was he at Aiden's house?
"Why was who at Aiden's house?" Lexi asked walking in and I sighed. "Ben."
"Ben, as in your closest friend that just moved here Ben?" She asked and I nodded. "It just doesn't make sense as to why he was there."
"My guess is...he might you know, want to be friends with the Johnson brothers or he's got like a gay crush on one of them." She adds nolonchantly and I freeze. "Noah isn't gay...right?"

"No! We've fucked before..."

"Holy Shit! And you didn't tell me?!?!"

"It was only once! When we were in L.A." I defended.

"Whatever." She grumbled

As crazy as it sounds, what if she's right? I mean, Ben hasn't called me up about his recent hookups like he usually does so maybe he's changed. I mean, Aiden was quick to leave as well so it's not...impossible.
