“You need to let us help him” advises a nurse as she wheels a machine towards Noah’s bedside. Emily swiftly shakes her head, refusing to move away from Noah. I know they need to help him, so I quickly move over towards her and pull her away from Noah as she thrashes and kicks against my hold.
“Noah. Please Fight Noah” she screams as I move her over to one side of the room.
I only just managed to catch Emily before she stumbled towards the floor when they shocked Noah with the defibrillator. I pulled her in close to my chest before I closed my eyes and silently begged for Noah to keep fighting. He had only just truly started to live the past two years and he deserves more than just two fucking years of happiness, after so many years of misery. My eyes quickly dart open when I hear the first sound of a beep from Noah’s heart monitor and I held my breath waiting to hear it again. When I heard it again, I roughly squeezed Emily tightly in euphoria. “Thank fuck” I harshly murmured to myself.
When Noah’s doctor moved over towards us you could see the confusion marred all over his face. He advised us that it is not normal for patients to go into cardiac arrest when they are already in a coma. Noah has never been anything close to normal, so I shouldn’t be surprised that he decided to throw a spanner into the works.
“He just scared the fucking shit out of me” I roughly state to Emily as I wrap my arms around her shoulders.
“Me too” she replies as she wraps her tiny arms around my waist.
Dr Kirkpatrick and several nurses stayed and monitored Noah for the next hour, while Emily and I both stood silently next to his bedside just staring at him. Once the nurses eventually left the room, I walked closer to Noah and leant down near his ear.
“If you ever scare me like that again, I will kick your fucking ass” I whisper harshly.
Watching Noah go through his heart attack, nearly caused me to have one of my own.
Chapter 50
Jacob
I spotted Lola the instant she walked into the room. It wouldn’t matter how crowded the room was, I would have been able to locate her, as she is always the most beautiful girl in the room. I had called her straight after Noah had his cardiac arrest and she advised me that she would come straight to the hospital. By the time she had arrived from Erkinsvale, most of Noah’s band mates and their significant others had already turned up. She quickly moved over to stand next to Emily and I watched from a distance as they talked back and forth. I noticed that Jenni and Nicole both narrowed their eyes at Lola when they saw her enter and Maggie appeared a little cold as well. Not long later, Lola’s eyes started to roam around the room and she soon spotted me watching her. As she walked over towards me, I couldn’t help but wander my eyes over her curvy body. She must have been working at Pete’s when I had called her, as she is still wearing her black Pete’s shirt and a pair of denim shorts.
“Hey Jacob” she greets friendly, before she wraps her arms around my shoulders and gives me a quick hug.
“Hey Lola” I reply as I pull her in close to my chest. I don’t want to let her go, but with several eyes glaring over towards us looking confused and a little annoyed, I slowly release my grip from around her body.
“What, no love for me?” questions my dad who is standing next to me. My curious gaze turns towards my dad, who is smiling brightly at Lola.
“Don’t be jealous Tom, there is plenty of Lola to go around” Lola replies while giggling. She then wraps her arms around my dad’s shoulders and hugs him like he is a long-time friend.
My confused gaze flicks between Lola and my dad trying to work out how the hell they know each other. Lola can see my obvious confusion, but instead of relieving my curiosity she winks at me, before she walks over towards her mom sitting on the reclining chair next to Noah’s bed.
“How the hell do you know Lola?” I question my dad the instant Lola is out of earshot.
“I met her a few weeks ago. I like that girl Jacob” he replies as he looks over at Lola fondly.
“You’re not the only one” I mumble under my breath.
I never got the chance to talk to Lola before she announced to Emily that she had to get back to work. My eyes followed her the whole way as she walked out of the room and headed down the corridor. When she got to the end of the hallway, her head turned back to look at Noah’s room. When she saw me watching her, she smiled and hesitantly waved before she walked around the corner.
“What’s the go with you two?” Slater questions when he noticed me stalking Lola. I turn to face Slater and shrugged my shoulders. His eyes slowly and curiously roam over my face, before he starts softly chuckling.
“Oh man, you are screwed. Out all of the women in the world you have to fall for that one” Slater laughs.
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” I reply angrily as I narrow my eyes at him. I am getting sick to death of everyone treating Lola like she has the fucking plague.
“Jesus Jacob, calm down. I just meant that she is going to keep you on your toes” Slater replies, causing me to clench my fists as my jaw starts to tick in anger.
“In a good way man, fuck! I meant that your life won’t end up being boring. You have got it bad. Does she feel the same way?” Slater queries as he shakes his head, like I was overreacting at his playful banter.
“I have no fucking clue. She hasn’t had anything to do with me since you fucked everything up” I respond firmly.
“Me, what the fuck did I do?” Slater replies confused.
“You had to put up every photo of the buck’s night onto Facebook, didn’t you?” I inform crossly.
“I don’t know how that shit works. I just hit the button thingy up the top that asks if you want to upload all of your recent photos” Slater chuckles. I am glad he finds it so amusing.
“What does it matter anyway? Are you getting your dick served to you on a stick?” Slater continues, laughing that hard he makes everyone in the room eyes turn towards us.
“Yeah something like that” I murmur.
“It was a buck’s party man; I am pretty sure strippers are a requirement for a buck’s party” he responds more seriously.
“Not when your girl sees another girl removing your pants” I whisper firmly, trying not to let anyone else overhear our conversation. Slater’s eyes open wide in shock, before he starts laughing that loud his chuckles echo around the room.
“Are you talking about Nat?” questions Slater laughing.
“I don’t remember her fucking name. If she is the blonde in the photos, then yes I am talking about Nat” I reply, while pulling Slater into the corridor since he keeps laughing so loud everyone keeps staring at us.
“You didn’t sleep with her. You didn’t even touch her. You had already pissed her off when you kept calling her Lola all night, but when she said she wanted to sample your sausage and you kindly told her to get the fuck of you, you kind of lost your chance to tap that. You missed out too man, that chick sucks like a hoover” Slater informs, while looking like he is recalling fond memories of previous encounters with Nat.
“I didn’t do anything with her? Are you sure Slater?” I question urgently.
“Yeah man, she hung off you like a leech, but you didn’t touch her” he replies without hesitation.
I can feel my heart rate starting to soar and I nearly jump into the air in excitement. Actually, I think I did jump in the air in excitement, before I started running down the corridor in a hope of catching up to Lola. I pushed the lift buttons several times urging it hurry up. When I noticed that it was displayed as still being down it the lobby, I rushed towards the stairs. By the time I had made it to the lobby, I was absolutely exhausted. I hadn’t worked out in months and it was starting to show in my physical fitness. I quickly darted my eyes around the surroundings, but I can’t locate Lola anywhere. I then headed towards the carpark praying that she hadn’t left yet. As I entered the carpark, I spotted the back of Lola just as she reached the driver’s side of her jeep.
“Lo
la” I yelled out breathlessly. She must have heard me as she turns around to face me. Her face looks panicked as I swiftly close the distance between us.
“Is everythi...” she attempts to speak before I roughly grab the back of her hair and pull her mouth towards mine. Her lips are a little stiff to start with, but as our kiss starts to build in intensity, she soon starts returning my kiss with just as much effort as I am putting in.
She eventually wraps her legs around my waist, causing me to let out a deep throaty moan. I push her up against the side of her car, wanting as little distance between our bodies as possible. Her mouth tastes so fucking good, my cock instantly starts to stiffen. Lola must notice my erection, as she starts rubbing herself along the length of my cock. I can feel the heat of her pussy radiating through her tiny little shorts. It has been months since I have had sex and if she keeps rubbing herself against me like that, while moaning her perfect little moans, I am about to lose my fucking load in my pants.
I need to slow this down, before she makes me lose my mind. I start to slow down our kiss, before I reluctantly pull away from Lola’s delicious mouth. I can hear someone chuckling in the distance and when I turn towards the noise, I spot Slater smiling brightly while sitting on his motorbike. When I peer back into Lola’s eyes, I can see they are full of lust but I can also see the disappointed gaze she has been giving me the past three months.
“I didn’t touch her” I inform, while staring into her light brown eyes. Lola’s eyes flick between mine, slightly confused, before the realization suddenly dawns on her face and she smiles brightly.
“I have missed you Jacob” she advises, as she pulls my mouth back towards hers by the back of my head.
“I have missed you too CT” I reply against her lips, before I start kissing her again.
Chapter 51
Lola
“Can I get some fries with that shake?” questions Bill while laughing as I walk to the cash register to ring up his bill.
“No, but I will be more than happy to charge you double if I have to keep hearing that same pathetic pick up line time and time again” I reply sarcastically.
“Or I can take you outside and teach you some manners” states a deep voice. When I turn around from the cash register, I am shocked to see Jacob leaning against the bar shooting daggers at Bill. When his gaze turns to look at me and he smiles his mischievous grin, I slightly falter in my step.
“That won’t be necessary, will it Bill?” I respond as I finish walking towards Bill to hand him his change. Bill shakes his head briskly as he jumps off the barstool and quickly makes his way back to his regular table. From the look of panic on his face, I don’t think I will have to worry about Bill hitting on me anymore.
“What are you doing here Jacob?” I question, before I lean over the bar and pull him towards me by his shirt to give him a long peck on his lips.
“Noah’s awake” he murmurs against my lips.
“What?” I reply excitedly as my eyes pop open wide in shock. I can feel Jacob smiling against my lips, while he nods his head. I quickly ran into the office to tell Pete that I have to go, before I followed Jacob to his car to head back to the hospital to see Noah, who has finally awoken after nearly three months in a coma.
“When did he wake up?” I question the instant Jacob pulls out of the carpark at Pete’s bar.
“This morning” he replies as he leans over and grasps my hand within his.
“How come you didn’t just call me?” I question confused and a little annoyed at the fact that Noah had woken up this morning and I am only just finding out about it at lunch time.
“I wanted to tell you in person” he replies without any hesitation or remorse. I can’t even fault him for that.
I have hardly seen Jacob since he sexually tortured me against my car. When I first saw him running towards me, I thought something terrible had happened, until he started kissing me. The kiss was full of so much passion that my knees started to buckle, leaving me no choice but to wrap my legs around Jacob’s waist. When he pushed me against my car and I felt his erection straining against his pants, I no longer cared that we were in the middle of a public carpark in broad daylight. I nearly whimpered when Jacob slowly started to pull away from our embrace. I have never been wound up so tight sexually before and I felt like I was about to combust.
Jacob’s gaze stared deep within mine, before he slowly whispered “I didn’t touch her”. To start with I was trying to work out what the hell he was on about. My mind was a little preoccupied from our steaming kiss. Then out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Slater sitting on his bike and it suddenly dawned on me. I tried not to smile over the fact that Jacob didn’t touch the girl at the buck’s party, but I failed miserably. I was that caught up in our kiss, I had completely forgotten that I was supposed to be angry at Jacob. But the instant I knew that he didn’t do anything with her, I was more than happy to rekindle our friendship.
“I have missed you Jacob” I informed, as I pulled his sinful mouth back against mine.
“I have missed you too CT” he replied against my lips, before he started kissing me with a sense of urgency.
Our hot and heavy make-up session only ended when Jacob’s dad Tom interrupted us to say goodbye. I unfortunately had to go as well as I was scheduled to start my afternoon shift at Pete’s. Jacob and I have kept in regular contact the past two weeks via text messages and phone calls, but I have only managed to see him once since that day two weeks ago. I am rostered on to work nearly every weekend and he had to spend his weekdays doing his required community service. I also knew about the promise he made to Noah when he first had his accident and I wasn’t going to make Jacob choose between his best friend and his…. umm… whatever I am to Jacob.
There is no denying that Jacob has been taught the art of seduction from the master herself, aka me. He has been teasing me sexually the past two weeks with inappropriate text messages and phone calls. Don’t get me wrong, I have loved every single moment, but I am so incredible horny that just seeing him sitting across from me right now makes my pussy pulse with desire. Jacob must have noticed me squirming in my seat, as he peers over towards me and slowly roams his eyes over my body. When his gaze turns back to my face, he winks before looking back at the road. I let out a sexually frustrated growl, causing Jacob to smile largely.
Once we arrived at the hospital, Jacob grasps my hand within his and started swiftly walking to Noah’s room. His obvious excitement was practically beaming out of him.
“I was going to tell you to get a room, but then I realized you are technically already in one” Jacob laughs as we enter Noah’s room.
Noah and Emily stop making out and Emily’s cheeks turn a shade of pink when she realizes we had just walked in on them practically dry humping each other.
“It’s a bit too late for blushing now” I tease Emily, as I move over towards Noah and wrap my arms around him.
“Way to scare the shit out of us, asshole” I whisper into his ear, causing him to laugh loudly.
“Sorry about that princess” he whispers back as he returns my embrace.
Noah always calls me some stupid pet names as he knows how much I despise them. Princess, baby, darling, honey etc all make me want to vomit in my own mouth. Although, I don’t mind the pet name that Noah has given Emily. Who wouldn’t want to be called beautiful all the time, actually I still prefer my nickname from Jacob. He has shortened to C.T but I know what it stands for and I friggin love it!
I quickly roam my eyes over Noah and find it so surreal that he is smiling and talking when only just a few days ago when I was visiting him, he was completely immobile in that same bed.
“Does Lola know?” Noah questions as his gaze looks between Emily and Jacob. Emily quickly shakes her head and Jacob just stares at me, looking slightly petrified.
“Know what?” I enquire confused, while peering between three sets of eyes all staring at me concerned.
“I’m pregnant”
Emily advises quietly. My eyes instantly dart down to her belly. I had thought last week that it had looked a little more rounded, but I brushed it off as she has been living of vending machine food for months.
“How far are you?” I question while I move over towards her. As I walk past Jacob, I punch him harshly in the arm. He lets out a little oomph before he starts chuckling. I can’t believe he had kept this a secret from me. He is a lot sneakier then I had first realized.
“Twenty-three weeks” she replies as her eyes flick back towards Noah who is smiling brightly at her. I freeze walking towards her. Did I just hear her right? She did just say twenty-three weeks, didn’t she?
“You’re the first person we have told” she continues quickly, when she notices my surprised expression.
“Don’t try to sugarcoat it Em” I reply as I cock my eyebrow at her. I know Emily is expecting me to react badly to her news that she is pregnant. But, after everything they have been through the past three months, I can’t be anything but happy for them.
