Now I’m starting to think I made it exactly that way for both of them. The look in Daisy’s eyes was one of betrayal, and I’ll have a lot of explaining to do first thing tomorrow morning.

Frustrated by the situation I’ve created, I punch my pillow and try to lie down on the couch for the night, knowing that sleep isn’t going to come easy. Besides the issue with my sister and Eric, my mind won’t stop racing about Noelle. Having her this close and not being able to be next to her is fucking with me. I toss and turn for a while, but I can’t get comfortable. Now that I’ve had her, there is no staying away from her. She can’t say that I didn’t try.

I’ve made it exactly thirty-four minutes before I decide that I’m not going to be able to stay away from her. I’ve spent years staying away from her. Daisy and Eric may think I don’t know what it’s like to be in their shoes, but I do. It was the reason I did it. Waiting for Noelle was the hardest thing I’ve ever endured. Many times I thought I was going crazy, thinking that the waiting would never end.

I push off the couch heading back toward her bedroom. I ignore the sounds coming from my sister’s room. Hell, I do not need to hear that shit. When I push open the door, I see Noelle sitting up in the middle of the bed.

“You okay?” I shut the door behind me, making my way over to the bed.

“It’s silly.” She shakes her head.

“Nothing is silly when it comes to you.” I tuck one of her blond locks behind her ear.

“I missed you.” That makes me smile. “Hey!” She smacks my chest. “This is crap. You’re supposed to be in trouble, but now I have to deal with the fallout of not getting to sleep with you tonight.”

“I could sleep with you.”

She shakes her head adamantly no. “Daisy is my best friend. If she’s mad at you, I'm mad at you. I don’t make these rules, I just live by them.”

“All right.” I stand up.

“Wait. You’re leaving?”

I walk over to the bathroom flipping off the light before I crawl back into bed. “No. I’m not leaving. I guess I said it wrong. I didn't mean I could sleep with you. I meant I am sleeping with you. Not sure you can really stop me.” I hear her huff out a breath. I sit up to pull her back down to lie in the bed. She doesn't fight me.

“Whatever.” She huffs. Fucking adorable.

“See? This way it’s not your fault. You tried to kick me out.” I pull her flush against me, wrapping my arms around her. She still feels a little tense. I kiss her shoulder and then her neck. “You okay, baby?”

“Yeah, just a lot is changing. Not just Daisy and me moving here either. Now she’s with Eric which I’m over the moon about, but I’d hate if we started drifting apart. I hear people do that.” I can hear the worry in her voice.

Noelle’s real family is shit, so I can understand her worry. If anything, Daisy has been her family. Daisy pulled her right into our family. “I don’t see that happening. I’ve never seen two friends closer than you guys. You tell each other everything.”

She tenses for a moment. What the hell was that about? It’s late or I’d push her more. I’m also already on thin fucking ice as it is. “You have me too. You know that, don’t you, Noelle? I’m not going anywhere.” She doesn't say anything for a long time.

“I want to believe that. I guess I don’t have the greatest level of trust when it comes to thinking people are going to stick around.”

“That’s fine. I have no problem proving myself to you, Noelle. You shouldn't expect anything else. You need something from me, you only have to ask.”

“Except if I need you to sleep on the couch.” She tries to hold in her laugh but her body shakes with it. The vibration goes directly to my cock. I turn her to face me.

“Yeah, babe. The one thing I can’t give you is space. Which works well since you think no one has staying power. I’m going to stay so fucking much you’re going to try and kick me out.” She laughs while burying her face in my chest. I finally let myself relax. Having her close always has a calming effect on me.

Everything might be shit with my sister and best friend, but this right here is perfect. It was worth every second of the wait. I’d do it a thousand times more as long as I end up with my sweet Noelle in my arms.
