Chapter 16

CARLA

I’ve been studying all morning and afternoon, and exhausted, I shove the laptop aside and lie back on the bed.

Damn, I could sleep for a week.

I snuggle into my pillow and figure I’ll just close my eyes for a couple of minutes.

“Carla,” I hear Noah murmur.

I let out a groan, then mumble, “I just finished studying. Give me a couple of minutes, and I’ll be up.”

Noah places his hand on my forehead, then asks, “Do you feel sick?”

I pry my eyes open. “No, I just want to nap.”

His eyes scan over my face, a concerned look tightening his features. “You’ve been sleeping since yesterday afternoon.”

I shoot up, gasping, “What?”

“It’s Sunday. Eleven in the morning,” he states.

“Nooooo!” I glance around for my laptop. “I needed to study. Why did I sleep so much?”

Noah frames my face with his hands and makes me look at him. “Are you sure you feel okay?”

I nod. “I’m just tired. It feels like I haven’t slept at all.” I begin to scoot off the bed. “I need to make up for the hours I missed.”

Noah rises to his feet and then locks his fingers around my hand. “Shower. Eat. Then you can study. I’ll help you catch up.”

I let out a sigh. “Okay.” I move closer and wrap my arms around his waist. Closing my eyes, I rest my cheek against his chest. “God, I could sleep just standing like this.”

His arms move around me, and he holds me tightly. “After the exam tomorrow, you can sleep all you want.”

I nod, and pulling away, I walk to my closet to get clean clothes.

“What do you feel like eating?” Noah asks.

Not hungry at all, I say, “Something light. A salad or soup?”

Noah’s eyebrow pops up. “You want soup? Now I’m really getting worried.”

I let out a chuckle. “I’m not hungry, that’s all.”

“I’ll get you some Hydralyte to drink. The electrolytes will help boost your energy.”

I give him a thankful smile before I walk into the bathroom. After I’m done showering, I brush my teeth and get dressed.

When I walk into the kitchen, Noah says, “Drink this. The food should be here soon.” He watches me like a hawk as I swallow the electrolytes down.

I rinse the glass then grin at him. “How was your Saturday night?”

He lets out a burst of air as a smile tugs at his lips. “I spent the night watching you sleep.”

My grin widens. “Yeah? Must’ve been boring.”

He shakes his head and slowly moves closer to me. “Not at all.” Wrapping his arm around my lower back, his other hand comes to my jaw. He lifts my face and presses a soft kiss to my mouth. Pulling back an inch, his eyes scan over my features. “Even though you were right there, I still missed you.”

Lifting my arms, I let my fingers tangle with his hair. I close the distance between us, but the moment our mouths touch, Noah takes control of the kiss until I’m breathless and contemplating ditching my studies for some sexy time between the sheets.
