Unbreakable (Haven Falls 6) - Page 58
Noah kisses me again before pulling me back by my shoulders and looking down at me. “Fuck yeah, we can, Spitfire. From now on, we work on building a future for ourselves. No more looking back. It’s just you and me.”
“And Tully…and maybe Spencer and Aiden too. Possibly Barker if Tully has her way.”
Noah shakes his head. “For fuck’s sake, Henley,” he laughs. “You sure know how to ruin the mood. I was trying to be romantic and sweet.”
“Romantic and sweet isn’t your style,” I tell him, grinning at his attempt, but loving it either way. “I prefer it when you’re domineering and in alpha mode.”
“Really, now?” he questions with that sparkle in his eye that I love so much. “In that case, the second I get home tonight, I’m taking you out and I’ll be showing you just how domineering and alpha I can get.”
I bite down on my lip, the anticipation almost too much to bear. “You’ve got yourself a deal,” I tell him, pushing up onto my tippy-toes so he can press those lips of his against mine once again.
Noah digs into his pocket before pulling out his keys. “Here, let me drive you home, Spitfire.”
I shake my head and push his hand back into his chest. “No, don’t worry about me. I quite enjoyed the walk and besides, I like the way you always seem to stare at my ass each time I walk away.”
“I fucking like it too,” he murmurs. “You sure though? It will only take a minute to get you home.”
“No, I’m sure. I don’t want you getting in trouble, and besides, you never know when they might need you. Just know that the second you’re done, I’ll be waiting for you, more ready than I’ve ever been before.”
With that, I turn and walk away, only looking back when I get to the street to find Noah’s eyes firmly on my ass, enjoying the view as I sway my hips from side to side. I can’t help but grin as he winks my way and mouths, ‘love you.’
“Love you too,” I tell him seconds before disappearing behind a row of bushes and walking the few minutes back home.
Chapter 16
After spending the night racing at the track, Maxen was more than happy to let us stay behind and party into the early hours of the morning. It was incredible. He kept all the lights on for us and it was just our small group left behind to have the time of our lives.
Tully and I sped our cars around that track over and over again, each one of us desperate to beat the record that Noah had set earlier in the night. Aiden attempted but was too chicken to really give it a good go, and Spencer knew he wasn’t going to beat it so didn’t even try which only had me and Tully calling him all sorts of names under the sun. But me and Tully, we had no issues making fools of ourselves.
Noah quickly put us all to shame though, unable to resist taking advantage of the empty track.
It was one of the best summer nights of my life. I had my best friends with me and my boyfriend at my side.
It didn’t take long for the cars to be put away and we were all sitting out in the middle of the track, taking it all in. I guess when you have friends like mine, you don’t need a massive party to have a good time.
Which brings us to now, all five of our cars are lined up on the grass of Noah and Tully’s front lawn and I stare at them with dread. My yellow Supra is a brown mess of mud, there’s hardly any white visible on Noah’s Camaro, Tully’s Jeep…well, that’s always a mess, and Spencer’s car somehow missed the mud, but is still covered from top to bottom in a thick layer of brown dust. Aiden didn’t drive fast enough to mess up his car but that didn’t stop him from adding his car to the line.
Noah and I head into the garage to get everything we need while the boys get started hosing down mine and Noah’s cars, opting to do two at a time. All I know is that by the time I come out of the garage with my arms filled with buckets and sponges, Tully is nowhere to be seen.
“That rat bastard,” I grumble. “She better not be trying to get out of this because I swear, I’m not cleaning her hunk of shit if she’s not here to help me with mine.”
“Relax,” Spencer laughs, briefly aiming the hose at me and making me squeal and drop everything. “She went to go get everyone a drink.”
I pick up the bucket and start pouring in the car wash. “I guess I can deal with that.”
