Dirty Little Secret

Chapter 16: A Quick Make-Up

    After the talk with my dad, I tried calling Noah, but he didn't pick up. My dad offered to set him straight, but I quickly declined. This was my problem and I was the cause of everything, so I would fix it all myself. I said my goodbye's and rushed from the office to get back home to Noah, hopefully. As soon as I get home, I hurry in and immediately head for the bedroom to find Noah. On my way through the living room, Liam and Amber, who are sitting on the couch watching TV, stop me.

    "Hey gorgeous!" Amber calls out as I walk through the room. "Why are you in such a hurry? Can't handle 5 minutes away from Noah?" she laughs lightly at her little joke.

    "Hey y'all. I just really need to talk to Noah. Is he here? It's pretty important." I scan the room around me to see if he is in the kitchen or somewhere I didn't notice right away.

    "Yea girl. He's in the room. Is everything okay? He told us a little bit of what happened last night and this morning, but didn't make it out to be that big of deal."

    "Everything is good. And it's not really a big deal, but we do finally have some answers and I really just need to talk to Noah before anything, so I'm going to go find him. I'll talk with y'all in a bit." I rush it all out before turning and making a mad dash to the room Noah and I share. Just as I push through the bedroom door, I hear the shower in our bathroom going. I debate for a minute if I should patiently wait for him to come out or go in and join in, but my desire to be with him out weighs everything else. I shut our bedroom behind myself quietly and quickly strip out of my clothes before sneaking into the bathroom. I peek behind the shower curtain just as he is starting to wash his face, so now is the perfect time to climb in with him. Without making too much noise, I slide into the shower behind Noah and wrap my arms around his waist and place gentle kisses all along his bare back.

    "I really hope this Emma because I swear to God if it's Liam, I'll kill ya dude!" Noah practically shouts as he quickly rinses his face and turns around.

    "Hey handsome. I just wanted to surprise you with a little shower love, but if were wanting Liam to join, I'm sorry, I'll have to tap out for that one." I snicker as I stretch up on my tip toes to kiss along Noah's sharp jaw line.

    "Liam can kick rocks babe. This body is only for you." his arms snake around my naked body, his hands gripping my thighs just under my ass and he lifts me up and wraps my legs around his waist.

    "It better be all mine mr." I place a few more kisses on his neck feeling his member grow underneath me. "I know there is a lot we need to talk about, but right now I think we both need a little stress reliever and the best thing for that is a little shower love." I continue to kiss along his neck and nibble on the lobe of his ear as he becomes more and more excited.

    "I agree my love. Right now I just want to focus on you and nothing else." Just then, his lips crash into mine and he pushes me roughly against the shower wall, one had under my ass to hold me up and the other hand tangled into my hair holding my face to his. In a matter of minutes, Noah is pounding into me with a fierceness I have never experienced before, his one hand moving from my hair to under my ass, both hands now digging into my thighs as he continues to slam his length into me. The bathroom is filled with the sound of our moans and screams for more and we are the furthest thing from clean in this shower. What seems like only a few minutes, is really over 30 minutes of us enjoying an afternoon shower delight and we only notice because the once hot water is now freezing cold. We reluctantly pull ourselves apart quickly get cleaned up before jumping out, drying off, and going back into the bathroom to get dressed. Once dressed, we both get comfy on the bed, preparing ourselves for a long talk.

    "So, how did things go with your dad?" Noah starts everything by asking. I sense a bit of resentment from him in his voice.

    "Things went good and there is a lot of information with that, but first I want to apologize for earlier. I am the one in the wrong and I should have stopped and considered your feelings on the entire situation before anything else. You were right when you said you should be there for the talk with my dad and once I got there, I quickly realized that. All I ask is that you please understand where I am coming from with everything pertaining to my dad. He's always been weird and secretive for no real reason and I know that is not a good enough reason to have kept you from the 'meeting' today, but it's the only explanation I have. And I want you to know that I told him before leaving his office today that I will only continue working for him through the remainder of the year and past that, he will need to find someone else to run errands for him. I want to spend more time focusing on you and I and the future we have ahead of us."

    "Emma, baby, are you sure about this? We had a small disagreement today, nothing more. You can't just quit the business with your dad; that's his legacy."

    "Yes, I'm sure. I've never been more sure of something ever in my life. What you and have is way more important to me than anything else and I won't let being an errand girl for my dad get in between us. His legacy will just have to die with him one day. I love him, but I love you more, Noah."

    "As long as you are sure, Emma. I love you with everything I am, but I don't want you making any decision you may regret just because of an argument."

    "Well lucky for me, it's only the end of August, so I still have 4 months to change my mind." I laugh lightly. "And since that is all out now, I guess I'll tell you what my dad found out about the break in on your car. Apparently, last night's incident and the explosion at mine and Amber's apartment, has all been traced back to my mother."

    "That's great! Well not great, but you know what I mean. We know who is responsible for everything and she can go to jail and hopefully be out of your life for good now." Noah sits up straight on the bed, excited by the information I've just given him. Seeing his excitement my face drops slightly. "What's wrong? Why don't you seem as happy about this information? I thought something like this would be good news for you."

    "It is good news, but just like everything else in my life, there is always a down side. We know for sure my mom is guilty of everything, but now she is. missing in action. My dad has hired the best men in the world to track her down, but things aren't looking too good right now. It's still early though, so I'm holding out hope that they find her, but something in my gut is telling me that this isn't going to be that easy."

    "Hey now, let's think positive. If anyone can find that woman, it's your dad and we all know he will make her pay for everything she's ever done to you, so don't stress it babe. It's all going to work out." Noah reaches over and pulls me up and into his lap, wrapping his arms around me and placing his head on the top of mine as I snuggle into his chest. "I love you beautiful." he whispers, turning his head and kissing the top of my head. Just as he lays his head back down on mine, my stomach lets out an extremely loud growl. "How about we go feed you baby girl?" Noah chuckles as he scoops me up in his arms and proceeds to carry me from the room to the kitchen. As we make our way through the living room, Liam hollers out at us.

    "Damn, buddy. Shower s*x must have broke her legs." he roars with laughter at his comment, not quite prepared for Noah's quick comeback.

    "You know, Liam, if you took care of your woman better, you'd be caring her around after s*x too, but obviously you haven't figured out that level of satisfying her yet." Noah smirks at Liam as we continue to the kitchen. He sets me down on a bar stool and walks around to the fridge pulling out all the fixings for sandwiches. Behind me in the living room I can hear Liam talking to Amber in a hushed tone about his s****l skills and in turn, her trying to convince him that he does satisfy her every need. I laugh softly to myself thinking about how easily a man's ego can be wounded with a simple joking comment. Noah proceeds in making us each a massive sandwich and even makes one each for Liam and Amber, I'm sure as a peace offering. Everyone gathers around the bar in the kitchen as we eat our sandwiches and I fill them in on the information from my dad. We laugh and enjoy our afternoon together, but as the time goes on, I start to notice odd behavior from Noah. He is constantly checking his phone, using the bathroom way more than normal, and he's not near as affectionate towards me as usual. He's had a complete 180 degree change from earlier in the day. I manage to pull Amber aside and ask her if she notices anything and she is quick to say she noticed he's not as loving towards me as normal, but that is the only thing she sees. Now my mind is full of panic that I really did screw things up between us and he was just pretending earlier to appease me.
