Cause you're all I need.

"I was afraid you'd go away," Noah broke me out of my daze, smirked as he offered me his hand.

I grabbed it and jumped down the stool, letting out a sigh, "I was tempted to since it took you forever."

He looked down at me as we walked across the empty club then finally out of it. It felt like I had been waiting for him for hours, but it was my choice to wait and I couldn't really complain. "What happened then? Did you decide I couldn't come back home alone?" He smirked as he locked the last door too, his hand slipping the keys into the pocket of his jeans.

"No," I answered with a fake serious face as we started walking, not even a sound around us, the whole city was sleeping and it was nice to enjoy the silence and the dark while we walked towards our apartment. "What if you got lost?"

He laughed at that, surprisingly not looking even a little tired despite what time it was. We barely lived during the day, our sleeping schedules were a disaster, but none of us complained and that kind of life just worked for us. To be honest, life seemed perfect. I'd done the whole bad relationship for far too long that it was great having someone so amazing in my life. "I would call you in tears and wait for you to rescue me," He joked, squeezing my hand as he grinned at me.

 

"I'm starting to think you're only with me for my brains and muscles," I joked with another sigh, attempting a serious face which was hard since there weren't very many muscles on my body. I worked out, but it kept me toned and thin instead of strong.

"If that is the codename for your boobs and butt, then yes," He said with a face that matched mine, grinning once more when I broke into a laugh, nudging him in the side with my elbow. "I'm joking," He added, pulling me close to him as he shrugged an arm around my shoulders. "Are you cold?"

"No," I shook my head as a smile played on my lips, "It's gorgeous out."

We walked in silence, the sun was barely rising but the weather was surprisingly the perfect temperature; not cold but not yet too warm. It was brisk still, perfect for a morning walk... even though it still wasn't yet the time of morning when a couple should be out roaming the streets. "Maybe we can take the day off and go to the beach," He suggested.

I raised an eyebrow, "We wouldn't get any sleep." 

"I'm planning on passing out the second we get home."

I grinned and shook my head again, "No way. We're going to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie instead." 

He grinned back before breaking eye contact and looking in front of us, "Okay baby." 

"That was too easy," I said and poked his side to get his attention again even if I had never really lost it. "You'e tricking me."

"Me? Never," He glanced down at me as he did his best to look all serious and handsome.

I kept quiet a few seconds before speaking again, "Okay then, I'll even let you pick the movie." 

"Nah, pick it yourself," He retorted quickly, looking down at me as we walked, our voices the only sounds surrounding us. It was unreal, it was amazing too. "I'm not going to watch it."

"But you said you would instead," I said back as a pout appeared on my face. I loved when it was just us and we could relax together since usually the club was the opposite; loud and full of people. 

He furrowed his brows, faking a serious face, "I thought you meant you'd cuddle me to sleep while you'd watch a movie." He explained before breaking into another smirk.

"My boyfriend is hilarious," I smiled at him and rolled my eyes, loving when he joked around with me. I still felt so young and alive when we were together, even if he had so many responsibilities at work. 

"I thought you'd enjoy that," He said while still smirking, slipping his hand down around my waist while we walked up to our building. 

"I'd enjoy spending time with you awake even more," I said seriously, but studying his face and knowing that he probably had an exhausting day at work. "But if you're too tired..." I trailed off with a small pout, unable to help it. 

A laugh left his lips before he kissed the top of my head, "Finish what you were saying."

"I have two pillows for you to rest your head on if you really are too sleepy to watch a movie," I said with a coy smirk, referring to my breasts.  

Noah grinned wider, "I like this offer, I think I'm going to take it."

I bit down on my lip as my cheeks got pink, "Really? I'm surprised."

"No you aren't." He kept his eyes on me as he fished the key of our building out of his jeans pocket, "I hope I'll be able to fall asleep."

"Why, aren't my pillows comfortable?" I asked and faked a pout, brushing past him as I walked into the building.

"The most comfortable," He said as he followed behind me and then looked at my face again, "But they can get distracting."

"My poor Noah," I smirked and wrapped my arms around him as he dropped his jacket on the table by the door then tossed his keys and wallet on top. 

"Poor me indeed," He reached for my body and picked me up effortlessly, carrying me into the living room and setting me down on the couch before sitting down himself. "Have you decided where we'll go next 

month?"

I pushed myself onto my knees, tucking them under my body as I leaned into his. Since he worked so much, I had offered to plan our trip for August. Last year we spent a few weeks with his parents in Ireland and this year I wanted to bring him to meet mine in Australia... even though he had already suggested a few other places. And currently, it was kind of wet over in Australia. It was their winter after all. "I have a few places in mind," I said slowly then nuzzled his neck. You'd think we never saw each other, but we were like magnets with each other. Most of the staff thought it was gross while the rest of them we're kind of turned on by it. "Amsterdam, Greece, Spain, or Australia."

He leaned his head against the back of the couch, turning it so that he could look down at me. "What about all of them?" He asked with amusement in his voice. 

I sighed as a dreamy expression crossed my face, "I wish. But it'd take too long and we can't do that." I said and pouted eventually, wishing it were possible.

He covered his mouth with a hand as he yawned, weighing the options, "Let's see." He paused, faking a thoughtful face, "I say Spain is too hot. Amsterdam would be really fun, but there are no beaches and I want to see you living in a bikini instead." He said with a grin, "And that's why Greece could work too."

I pulled my head back just so slightly to stare at him as I bit down on my lip, "My boyfriend's just so naughty..."

"Let's not get sidetracked here." He smirked at me and planted a quick kiss on my mouth before resting his head against the cushion again, "I say let's go to Australia instead."

"You do realize it's winter there still, right?" I said slowly but smiled, cuddling up to him while he wrapped an arm loosely around my shoulders. 

He knitted his eyebrows together, "Define cold."

"Mid 60s to high 70s..." I trailed off and he grinned back at me. 

"That sounds perfect instead," He reached for my hips and pulled me onto his lap, keeping his head resting back against the couch and looking like he might fall asleep at any moment. My poor boyfriend worked too much and then had to put up with his needy girlfriend who wanted to talk all night. He was a saint. "Should I go ahead and book our flights?"

"I'll take care of it," I replied since he already had enough on his plate, a million things always going on with work. "You work too much, let me spoil you for once."

"I don't work too much," He grinned as he let his hands run up and down my legs mindlessly. 

I made a silly face, it supposed to be a serious one but only making Noah grin wider instead. "Does this mean you don't want me to spoil you?" I asked, hands on my hips for full effect too.

"Always instead," He said and paused to lift his hand and push my hair off my forehead, "But I can't see how booking our flights count as spoiling me."

My mouth dropped open in fake offence, my dark eyes widening, "What? Take it back silly boyfriend."

He laughed, pulling me against his chest and kissing me swiftly. "I do." He said seriously before relaxing on the couch again, "What will we do in Australia baby?"

"Anything you want," I replied with a grin, relaxing my body against his and wishing we could stay like this for hours. Unfortunately, I gave Noah half an hour before he'd fall asleep. 

He cracked a grin, "So specific."

I pursed my lips together and thought about the things I did while growing up. Australia and Italy were different in a lot of ways. I missed home, but Italy was starting to feel more and more like home to me every day... and that was all because of Noah. "We'll spend a lot of time on the beach... I can teach you how to surf," I said finally, thinking of my sexy man in his swim shorts. "I used to be a pretty awesome surfer," I added matter-of-factly.

"I learn something new about you every day," He kept his grin in place as his arms tightened around me. "What else?"

"You'll meet my parents and they'll love you," I answered with my smile widening. As much as I missed Australia? I missed my parents more.

He studied my face and my smile, tucking stray hairs behind my ear as he brushed my pink cheek in the process. "I hope so," Was all that he could say and he seemed to mean it. We were serious about each other. Maybe we had no plans for marriage, but he was what I saw when I thought about my future. My parents approval had to mean a lot to him and I remembered how nervous I was when I went to meet his parents. "What if they don't instead?" He asked even if he was still smirking, not wanting to make of this conversation a too serious one.

"Nonsense," I grinned back at him as I ran my hands down his neck, keeping my eyes on his. "No one could not like you."

He laughed at my words because that was, of course impossible, "Sure. But what if they don't like me not because of me but because I'm keeping their daughter away from them?"

I shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm a grown up woman and in theory you weren't the one to keep me staying in Italy at first."

"Yeah, that was the only good thing that your ex did," He pointed out with no enthusiasm but didn't get sidetracked, focusing again on the subject at hand. "Would you ever move back? I mean to Australia."

 

I parted my lips and felt a little taken back, realizing that I hadn't ever really thought about it. What started as a summer trip had become so much more. So many years had already passed and now Italy felt like home to me, especially now that I had Noah. He was my best friend and the love of my life, a relationship like ours was hard to come across and I had no intention on letting that go. "I haven't thought about it before," I said honestly and he didn't look too please with my confession. Even if he'd never say it out loud. "I'm not going to lie, I miss Australia, but I'd miss you even more," I added, having my answer to his question.

His lips quirked into a more genuine smile, "Is that a no? I'm confused."

I grinned and shook my head, "Unless you're coming with me? I'm going no where."

"No where?" He replied and slid his hands underneath the bottom of my shirt to run across my skin. Even the slightest touch left goosebumps in its wake. "Not even our bed?"

I laughed softly and leaned into his touch, keeping my eyes locked on his intense gaze and thinking about how handsome he was, "I'll go wherever my love goes."

"So if I'm moving to Australia, you're moving with me?" He asked with a smirk on his face, only joking because really, I couldn't see that happen.

I frowned instead, "What's with all these questions? Are you planning to move somewhere without telling me?"

He laughed, "Yes, I want to move back to Ireland."

My frown turned into a pout, "It's not funny."

Noah smiled this time, engulfing me into a hug and kissing my cheek, "Sorry baby, I was being silly. A little too silly." He paused and waited for my body to relax in his hold, "I have no intention to move...we have our life here. We're happy like this, so no matter how much I miss my family or my city, I'd never give up on what we both built in these years. Unless of course you'd want me to, in that case I'm ready to pack right away."

My lips quirked up into a smile as I stared into his dark eyes, knowing that this time I had found the one. It definitely helped that we were friends before anything else, because being in love with your best friend was the best thing that had ever happened to me. It was the best feeling. "It goes both ways baby," I said seriously. 

"Even Ireland?" He stared back with an eyebrow raised.

I shrugged my shoulders, "Ireland, England, Norway, America... I will go anywhere with my man. I love a good adventure."

A laugh left Noah's lips as he relaxed from beneath me and moved his hands dangerously close to my ass before grabbing my hips, "I'll remember that, crazy girl."

"An adventure is what brought me to Italy," I pointed out. The original plan was to take a few years off from school, traveling Spain and seeing where I ended up. I fell in love with Italy though, coming here on a whim and never wanting to leave. A few months later, I had most of my things packed up and shipped over. It was a pricey move, but definitely worth it. "If I wasn't so crazy, I never would have met you."

"You'd still be jumping with kangaroos," He pointed out with a grin, amused by his own words.

I let out a small laugh, then pressed my lips on his. "And where would you be?" I asked against his mouth as I stared at him with my dark eyes.

He pretended to think about it, "I'll be single and desperate, wondering why I can't find a beautiful brunette to stay with...I'd feel so lonely I'd decide to go to Australia to start a new life and guess what, I'd meet you there," He grinned at me, his words silly but cute too.

I laughed again, this time louder, "Why are you so sure you'd meet me?"

"Because it was destiny," He shrugged nonchalantly, always saying the right thing whether it a joke or not. 

My lips curved upwards in a wide smile, so wide I felt it in my cheeks. "We're both right where we belong," I said after a moment of staring at him, never tired of looking at his handsome face. I had it memorized by memory, I dreamt of it on most nights. I was beyond crazy for this man. 

"I agree," He replied and leaned his head back against the couch, keeping his eyes locked on mine. "When will we leave?"

"As soon as possible.... I hate sharing you with the club and Coult," I grinned since really? I loved both the club and his cousin. Now his brother? He took a little getting used to, but Noah's family was amazing. I was excited to finally have him meet mine. 

"Lies. My naughty girlfriend loves being in the club alone with me," He said with a mischievous grin. 

"Naked," I added, thinking about all of the places where we'd have sex in the club. Pretty much everywhere.

"See?" He asked nibbling at my ear, "Naughty."

"Because you're so much better instead?" I asked as I pulled my head back, raising one eyebrow at him and shooting a grin.

He shrugged nonchalantly, because yes, he was as bad as I was and it was the kind of bad that was really good instead. "I didn't say that."

I licked my lips slowly as I kept my eyes on his, "We match. Or you wouldn't be with me."

He nodded his head, agreeing without thinking twice. "Are you going to include that to the list of reasons why you're with me you'll say to your parents?" He asked as his smirk widened, joking but also looking a little nervous too. I couldn't blame him since I still remembered how nerve wrecking it was meeting his parents too.

"No," I shook my head and smiled reassuringly, "They're going to love you as soon as they see how amazing you are. They won't need me to list any reasons."

"You're so sure," He said with his smirk still in place. It was a sexy and distracting smirk.

"I am," I replied and wondered how it would be visiting my parents since it had been a while. I still spoke to my mom nearly every day and she knew everything about my relationship with Noah from how we'd met to how we fell in love. She knew how happy he made me and that made her happy. "Now carry me to our bedroom and lets put on pajamas," I added in a much more quiet tone, lifting an eyebrow as I gave him a knowing smirk. 

"I thought you wanted to watch a movie silly girl," He said back, not budging from his place on the couch. 

"I want to take advantage of the fact that my boyfriend is still awake instead."

He picked me up as he got on his feet, carrying me to our bedroom just like I wanted and keeping his eyes on me still since he knew the way by memory. "Okay, but I warn you, the moment I'm touching the bed I'm falling asleep."

I faked a pout, "Does it mean you can resist my sexiness?"

He chuckled at my silly words and set me on the edge of the bed before straightening himself in a standing position again and taking his shirt off next. "Never. It only means I'm exhausted."

I yawned as I stared at my sexy man, "I could use some sleep too now that I think about it."

"Get naked," He grinned at me, taking the rest of his clothes off and what a sight it was. 

"Are you trying to seduce me now?" I asked with a grin on my lips.

He laughed and shook his head, "Are you really going to wear your pjs?" He asked back since I never used those during summer. It was too hot and my boyfriend was always more than happy to have me in his arms with nothing put a pair of skimpy panties.

"Never," My grin widened as I unbuttoned my shirt then tossed it aside, standing up with my body so close to Noah's, they were barely touching by an inch. Turning around, I pushed my jeans off and bent over enough that my ass was resting against his dick. I tossed my head over my shoulder to give him a look, able to tell that he was resisting the urge to groan. "Panties on or off?" 

His hand slid up my spine to unclasp my bra effortlessly, "You're such a tease."

"You didn't answer me," I replied, gasping when he picked me up and carried me onto the bed with him. 

His body hovered over mine and my breathing hitched while he looked at me, holding onto my hip firmly with one hand while he pressed his lips against mine. "Night gorgeous," He said with his lips still against mine, pulling back to grin at me, knowing the effect he had on me a little too well.

"Who's the tease now?" I said with my mouth open, grinning as I cuddled up to him when he laid down. 

"I'm too tired to tease right now," He said with his eyes closing, still wrapping an arm around me.

"Not all of you is tired," I said as my hand dipped low down his perfect body before returning to his chest. 

He reached for my hand and nibbled at my finger gently as he looked at me with a grin on his face, "All of me is tired instead." 

I pouted a little, letting out a sigh, "Lies." I scrunched up my nose.

"My dick has its own life," He grinned wider, shooting me an amused look.

"He's going to be disappointed when you fall asleep," I said as I tried to keep a straight face, failing and smirking instead. 

He let out a laugh, pulling me closer and nuzzling my neck, "I think he can wait until tomorrow morning."

"But it's tomorrow morning already," I pointed out and he pulled his head back.

Blinking, he glanced at the clock to see that i was right, "Oh well, he can wait anyway. I can have you whenever I want."
