Chapter Sixteen

Noah

I’m lying in bed snuggled up on Asher’s chest, which is slowly rising and falling, my head moving up and down with the movement. My body is bone tired, not only from the amazing sex we just had, but from school and work as well. Now that classes are getting busier, there’s been more and more things piling up on my plate. Professors have started assigning more tests, projects, and of course, essays. I used to thrive in these situations, when I could put all my focus into schooling. But that’s not the case anymore. Now I’m trying to spread my focus between school, Asher, and working two jobs. It’s just becoming too hard.

I need to make sure my grades stay up, so I’m still eligible for my scholarship. However, I’m barely finding time to focus on any classwork because I’m either in class or working.

Asher, of course, has been nothing short of amazing. There are times when he even offers to study with me, even though we are taking completely different classes from each other. I’m waiting for the day when he gets tired of me and how much I’m having to bail or fall asleep on him. But so far, he hasn’t said a word. He’s just always there with a smile on his face.

I burrow deeper into him when his hand lightly pull on my curls—he’s always doing that—tugging my head back. God, I love how obsessed he is with my curls. He’s always touching them, pulling on them, kissing them softly. Slowly opening my eyes, I smile when I see Asher staring back at me, a look of longing on his face.

“You’re so gorgeous, Noah. Waking up next to you each morning is a dream come true.” The hand that’s still holding onto my hair moves down to my nape where he grabs it and then pulls me closer to him, placing a kiss on my lips. I deepen the kiss, moaning into his mouth when his tongue sweeps against mine. I’m about to straddle his waist when my phone goes off.

“Ugh,” I say before pulling my lips away from his.

“Ignore it,” he mumbles against my lips as he’s trying to chase my mouth.

“I can’t. It’s my mom.”

Like he was shocked with a strike of electricity. He jumps back, wide-eyed. I laugh at his scared expression.

“What?”

“Don’t answer until I’m out of the room.”

“What? Why?”

“I don’t want her to know I was in bed with her baby boy.”

“Oh my god.” I laugh, picking up my phone. Before Asher can protest, I press the answer button on my phone and put it on speaker.

“Hey, Ma.”

“Hi, baby boy. How are you?”

“I'm good.” I yawn, looking over at Asher, who still has a panicked face.

“What are you doing?”

Asher still hasn’t calmed, so I ask my mom to hold on real quick, and I put her on mute.

“Baby, what’s wrong?”

“Maybe you should talk to your mom without me here.”

“Why wouldn’t I want you in here?”

“Um. I don’t know. But it’s probably a better idea if I leave you to talk to her alone.
