Fifteen
“Time to wake up.”
The masculine voice pulled me out of my dream, and I stretched while I yawned. I opened my eyes and froze when I saw the theater instead of my bedroom.
“Um.”
I heard choking and snapped my head to the door where Gavin was staring at the ceiling.
“What?” Noah groaned next to me. He opened his eyes and smiled at me. His eyes lowered and widened while he licked his lips. “Good morning.”
He was staring at my chest, and I realized I was still naked. I tugged the blanket up and covered myself.
“Sorry.” I wanted to sink into the floor and disappear.
“For what?” Noah asked, voice gravelly with sleep.
“For flashing me?” Gavin asked. He finally looked back at me and lowered his shoulders when he saw I wasn’t exposed.
“What the hell, man!” Noah jumped up and turned to face him in just his boxers.
“Sorry, I couldn’t get a hold of either of you, so I came looking for Ave. In my defense, I’ve been calling her name for like three minutes.” Gavin spoke to me, only glancing at Noah a few times. “I thought of looking in here once I saw your car was in the garage, and I couldn’t find you anywhere else.”
“Get out!” Noah growled and stepped to the side, blocking me from Gavin.
I wanted to tell him not to bother and that it wasn’t anything Gavin hadn’t seen before, but now wasn’t the time. If this were the first time Gavin had seen my boobs, he would have spun around so fast he would have slammed his face into the door.
I tilted my head and met Gavin’s curious stare. His lips tugged at the corners, and I could tell he was holding back a smile. I was surprised by how okay he was with this, but he’d been surprising me a lot lately. Maybe it was that he’d already crossed this line with me, or that he was first. That might not mean anything to the others, but I knew it did for him.
“Everyone's coming to my house. I need to tell you guys something.” Gavin smiled and walked out.
Noah faced me, rubbing his face before running his fingers through his wild curls.
He looked at me, and I got one of my smiles. “I can’t believe he walked in on us.”
“We were sleeping, not doing anything,” I pointed out.
He gestured between us. “But it's obvious that something did happen.”
I held my hand up for him, and when he took it, I tugged him down to me, kissing him briefly. “I love you.”
He smiled against my lips. “I love you too.”
He stood and looked around for his clothes. I lowered the recliner and held the blanket up while I searched for mine. Hands wrapped around me from behind, and I leaned back against his chest.
“Last night was everything.” Noah kissed my neck, then my bra appeared in front of me.
I took it and dropped the blanket, so I could slip it on.
“Too bad,” he said, and I faced him. His eyes were on my chest.
My face burned, and I shoved him out of the way so I could get my leggings and shirt. “You’re terrible.”
“This meeting is going to be torture.” He groaned. “How am I supposed to be with all of them and not act like something happened?”
“You’ll figure it out,” Gavin called from the living room, and my eyes widened.
“He heard that?” Noah mouthed.
