The Quarterback's Baby: A Secret Baby Sports Romance (4 page)

Chapter Ten

Those days and nights acting like lovers and friends came to an abrupt end as soon as our parents got home.

His mom found out about the Prom.

The hotel.

Us staying the night.

She threw out her tenant that was renting the house across the street, claiming it was a family emergency. She even went as far as to find him a new place, just so she could move back in with Noah. She wanted us to graduate, him to go to college, and then for us to make our choices.

We agreed, just to keep the peace in the house. Dad wasn’t at home after the shit hit the fan. I started to wonder if h
e’
d married Michelle out of fear or out of love.

Meet me, after school at our place. Noah

 
I got his message on WhatsApp after lunch, and I hadn’t stopped thinking about him since
. 
We had a hangout in Sandy Hook
. 
My grandma used to take us there as kids with our bikes and whenever we feel like hanging out - call us nostalgi
c– 
that’s exactly where we’d go
. 
Dad wasn’t around and his mom was either on his case about watching football or going to practice. Most moms pressure their kid to study. His didn’t. All she ever cared about, or thought about, was football. No wonder Noah was so desperate to be a football player. His mom was obsessed.

 
I got changed the moment I got home and, as I headed out on my bike, the cool spring air hit me hard
.
  The only thing on my mind was Noah. Not speaking to him for the past few days had made me feel like part of me was missing
.
 

Noah was my best friend.
I’
d never thought he felt the same way about me as I did about him, so I dated other guys, but I soon got tired of pretending to be interested in anything they had to say or do
. 
We always ended amicably, but then I’d see Noah in the arms of another cheerleader and I’d go on another date with an unlikely hopeful.

 
After I entered and paid, I waited patiently for him
.
 
 
Noah was always late, that was one of his traits
. 
I knew no one would be at our spot
. 
They never were; it was always just us and maybe the odd cyclist once in a while.

 
I felt his heart beating quickly as he approached me
. 
His warm embrace felt like the final part of the jigsaw of my life.

“Hey, beautiful.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, I kissed him
. 
I’
d missed him so much, and he responded with the same urgency
. 
The last few days had changed everything between us, apart from how we really felt about each other.

I loved him, always did, and would always love him
. 
There was everything to love and nothing to hate
. 
His sincerity, compassion for life and people, his athletic body, and his heart that he wore on his sleeve.

 
“I missed you,
”
I whispered between the kisses
. 

“I want you,
”
he replied as he started to strip my hoody off
. 
I didn’t care if onlookers saw us, I just knew that I felt the same way
. 
The Graduation party was in a few days and we’d promised that we would go as a couple, bu
t 
that night had been stolen from us, due to the selfish acts of our parents
. 
It was clear as day to me that my dad was scared of Michelle.

Sure, so was I, but then I was just a teenager, it was only natural that I would be scared of someone like her, but what was his excuse?

When I told him that he was out of order for letting Michelle ruin our lives, all he said was, “Well, Noah will be at college and I’m sure you’ll visit him a lot. That’s all Michelle wants, the best for both of you.”

I knew that was a lie, because the only thing Michelle seemed interested in was making sure that Noah got signed up to the Giants and made big money. Or had I got it completely wrong, did she want him to have a bright future? One that she never had? Then again, no one knew, because that was one big secret.

My bra was exposed, and Noah looked at my breasts like a hungry wolf
. 
He nuzzled them and then I took off his shirt
. 
His abs, which I had pictured tracing my fingers across a thousand times, were now a reality
. 
He knelt down and cradled me in his arms
. 
We were in the bushes and going to explore each other’s bodies as new lovers.

 
I knew the direction it was taking, and I was indulging in it with open arms
.
 
 
We wrestled like the inexperienced lovers we were as we started to undress each other
.
 

 
“Oh, Noah, I’ve wanted this for so long,
”
I purred as he started to suck on my nipples
. 
I often touched myself, because being without him felt too long. Yet, here he was, in the open woods, making me wet
. 
His cock was rubbing against my thigh and I thought of nothing more than putting it inside me
. 
I was going to experience what it felt like to have something other than my fingers between my legs, and it turned me on.

 
I was hot and wet, gasping for air, and all the sensations were driving me wild.

“You’re so beautiful,
”
he said in between his kisses as he approached my mouth and I released his beast from his boxers
. 
I wanted him to make love to me
. 
I was naked on the grass and all I could think about was the pleasure he was going to give me, right there and then.

“Give it to me!
”
I commanded. I needed him to fuck me
. 
I needed him to drive me over the edge
.
 

I grabbed his cock with urgency and stuffed it inside my pussy
. 
I cried as he entered
. 
It was so thick, and as he pumped me I held on to his butt for dear life.

“You okay?
”
he said gently, worried that he had hurt me in some way
. 
He was so considerate, and that was one of the many things I loved about him.

“Don’t stop.
”

I knew that the feeling would pass
. 
I was experiencing pleasure and pain as he rubbed my pussy walls
. 
My cunt was so tight
. 
It had never been opened before
. 
He had released my flower by turning it from a bud into a beautiful flower, and I wanted him to continue to pound me
. 

Shit, I was sweating from the pain
. 
Sweating from my love for him
. 
Sweating from us finally being as one
. 
As I started to shake and shiver, I felt his cum shoot up me like a lethal injection
. 
I relaxed as he collapsed on top of me.

 
Then, the moment was stolen when his phone rang
. 
He raced to his bike with his pants wrapped around his legs
. 
He picked it up and said, “What?”

I grabbed the remainder of my things and tried to make myself as decent as possible, ignoring his phone call
. 
That’s when it ended, and he gently kissed me
. 

“I need to go
. 
Mom - I think she knows where we are.”

“Oh my God.
”
He was still naked and didn’t even try to put on his clothes. His head sunk down
.
 

I hated her, because we weren't kids. If we were going to graduate soon, she wouldn’t be able to keep us apart.

“This thing’s gotta stop. I can`t take it any longer, Noah.
”

He nodded,
“
I know. Just a few weeks and I’m out of here. You’ll be working and then we can see each other all the time.
”

I kissed him with such urgency, wishing that a few weeks would just rush past, but I knew it wouldn’t. It never did. It was times like this when you wanted to speed by that it took its sweet time.

“Noah why don’t you just tell her where to go?
”
I bit my lip at the idea of telling the man I loved to choose between me and his mom, but that was what it was going to come to. I had a feeling that it would one day.

“She only has me and my sister. There’s no one else. Seriously, she’ll see that you and I are in love, I promise you, and then everything will be alright.”

I kissed him and waved him goodbye, wishing that I was as hopeful as he was, but I had a feeling that he was wrong and I was right.

Chapter Eleven

“Told you that she’s a bitch,” Trinity sneered as Noah and Michelle pulled up to the graduation party in her convertible Golf. I never understood how someone who worked part-time as a cashier in a bank could afford half the things she did.

She had a couple of designer bags and the cream designer suit she was wearing with matching heels and a hat must have been expensive. Yet, Dad was working overtime and could barely afford anything.

Then it hit me, like a hammer against a nail. This was why Dad was always working. Stressing. Ever since he started to date Michelle. He must have been supporting her, but that didn’t explain why he was scared of her.

“Look at her all dressed in white. As if she’s some precious virgin.” Carly remarked. I wanted to correct her that it was cream and not white, but before I could Trinity got in there first.

“It’s not cream. It’s white.”

Carly shook her head like she did whenever she was about to lose a debate with Trinity.

Then she started to head in the direction of Ryan. That was when I noticed it, something that I hadn’t seen before.

“Did he just?” I asked as I pointed to Eli. Trinity smiled as she traced her index finger from the top to the bottom of her lip. That could only mean one thing.

We both smiled and said, “Hi, Noah” as he and Michelle walked past us. Michelle looked me up and down as if I was beneath her. You wouldn’t think that she was my step mom, more that she was a total stranger.

Noah smiled and gave me a kiss.

Not on the cheek.

Not on the forehead.

But right on the lips as if he was making a statement. He held me tightly and said, “Morning gorgeous.”

I could feel Michelle tapping on his shoulder, but he didn’t care. We didn`t care. He was trying to tell me and show her, that we were for real and nothing she could do would tear us apart.

“You’re not looking so bad yourself.”

That was when I heard it, as I did every time I was in his arms and in the company of the girls.

“Guys go and get yourself a room!”

Noah let go of me gently as he winked. “We did that already. I think after graduation we should go and do that again.”

“Promises, promises.”

That was when Michelle found my dad and made a stink about what we’d been doing a few seconds ago. The announcement was made for us all to take our place and the only thing I could think to ask before we sat down was, “Trinity, you and I need to talk.”

She laughed as she sat down, “You can talk and I’ll listen. Because I never kiss and tell.”

She then turned around and winked at Eli. I hated her, she was a worse tease then Noah - and he was pretty good.

Chapter Twelve

“Wow, is this what college life is like?” I asked as we got out of the car. The noise, the atmosphere… but I had one eye watching Noah and the other eye looking at the girls noticing my man as he got out of the car.

Things had been kind of different lately.

Dad had managed to come home, and convince Michelle that she was going over the top, and she moved back in the house. Of course, Noah and I had to sleep in our own separate rooms, but that didn’t stop us from trying to be with each other every second.

I loved him, and feared that soon he would be in another state and probably forget about me.

He grabbed me as I felt lost just watching every one. College students. On to be future lawyers, doctors, stock brokers… and what future did I have to look forward to?

Being a realtor.

I’ve always known and been proud of what I wanted to do. Working with my uncle during the odd summer set me on that path. I was never that academic. Not like Noah. He must have been one of the few sports men that actually loved to study.

God, the guy’s a champ at every thing he sets his mind at.

What the fuck was he doing with me?

“Don’t you dare do that!”

He sighed as he held me so close. He was looking around at the people too, and Michelle was trying her best to look the other way.

“What? I’m just observing.”

He kissed my cheek and said, “Is that why you’ve got tears in your eyes?”

Damn, I hated the fact that he knew me so well.

“You struggled with your grades. You always have, and you decided to choose a different path. Be proud and help me find my room so we can test out my new bed before my roommate arrives.”

It was as if Michelle had sensitive ears as she shouted out after us, “We heard that!”

Dad said, “Go ahead, kids. We’ll just start unpacking the car.”

Then they started to fight. They seemed to do that whenever I was involved in the conversation. I didn’t know if Michelle liked me or just tolerated me, but either way, I didn’t care. I planned to spend as much time either getting the train to see Noah, or with Noah visiting me.

It didn't take long for Noah to figure out which one was his room. He was a man on a mission. Eager to make his way to not only my heart, but in between my legs.

As soon as we entered his room, he didn’t even check to make sure that no one else was there. Maybe it was the idea that Michelle and Dad would find us and catch us in the act
.
 

At college. Away from their rules. And that made us both want each other even more.

He slammed me up against the wall, hard enough to knock the breath from me momentarily. His mouth crashed into mine, hungry and devouring, his tongue sweeping at the seam of my lips
.
 

His hands moved over my shoulders and down to my hips. He pulled me against him, pressing his erection hard against me.

“Noah,” I moaned into his mouth as his fingers clawed into the flesh of my hips. He started to unbutton my jeans. I was surprised that he was doing it with patience when it was clear that he wanted to enter. And so, I started to help him
.
 

He held on to my hand for one moment growling, “Let me do this.”

He wanted control.

I was his for the taking and nothing and no one was going to take that away from him.

I was his, and the fears that had entered my mind as we’d driven to the campus were washed away. Noah had seen those girls. Tall, skinny, pretty, beautiful. But it was me that he wanted to take to his room and be the first to fuck on his bed.

Me and only me.

His best friend.

The girl he’d loved since he’d moved in across the street when he was five.

I needed to keep that in my mind every single time I had doubts about our relationship, because he was keeping it real as he peeled my jeans from my legs and I stood there, half naked with no panties
.
 

I knew that I had to
.
 

That was when he lifted me in his arms and carried me across the room to a bed. I just hoped it was his bed. The room was basic, but I didn’t care. This was our one time
.
 

As he laid me on the bed, our tongues tangled and he asked, “Who do you belong to?”

That was the first time and the only time that I knew Noah was nervous about us being apart too. I’d thought it was just me. Finally he’d admitted it, and I held his face between my hands and said, “You.”

He said, “Say it louder!”

I didn’t hesitate, “You.”

His weight settled on the bed, his knees on either side of mine.

“You’re mine,” he repeated, over and over again, as his face moved from my chest to my pussy and in between my legs. It was as if he was smelling me, claiming me, and it felt good. He didn’t kiss me o
r 
even tell me what was going on, he just kept repeating about me being his and that he had wanted me for so long.

I was so damn wet.

Desperate for him to enter me one last time and I blurted out, “Fuck me!”

Without a moment’s hesitation he unzipped his pants and set free his big fat cock. I didn’t squirm like I had the other times; now it was feeling natural. It fit perfectly as he faced me and kissed me as he rocked back and forth on top of me.

I held on to his butt and then he thrust inside of me even deeper.

“Don’t stop,” I panted and then I bit his lip.

He smiled, “Not until you tell me to.”

I still had on my clothes. I grabbed hold of his back as I could feel myself coming to an edge. The more I screamed the more he pumped me until I couldn’t resist anymore.

“I’m…” that was the last thing I said before we were both sweaty and then we were both brought to the edge. It was as if it was perfect timing, because then there was a knock on the door.

It was Dad. “Ava is it safe to come in?”

We both laughed, “One minute.” as we scurried round the room like mice, trying to get the pieces of our clothing together.

Noah asked, “Decent?” I nodded, thinking that, apart from trying to get my breath together, I had managed to put on my pants and shoes. So, I supposed I was decent.

He laughed as he opened the door and said, “Welcome to my humble abode.” Dad came in casually and winked. It was clear that he knew what we were doing.

But as usual Michelle had to spoil it.

“The smell. I just hope you kids are using protection.” She rushed to the windows and lifted them up to get in some air. The room did feel stuffy, but I’d never noticed at first. I had other things on my mind.

“I’m sure they’re being sensible,” Dad sighed as he put down a box and then asked Noah to help him with the other things in the car.

Michelle gave me the evil eye and said, “You better be.”

***

Finally, we went to the hotel and said our goodbyes. Dad was dropping us at home, then in the evening he was going back on the road again. I wished that for my first night without Noah I would have Dad at least. I really didn’t feel like being with Michelle.

As Noah and I walked to the hotel like long lost lovers, we held hands and, like the first time we were about to have sex and had driven in the limo to the hotel, we were lost for words. Silence became our new best friend as he stroked my hand and I tried to take in my surroundings, but really I was just fighting back the tears.

The realization that from this moment onwards, he wouldn't be coming home dawned on me. The fact that Michelle and I would be alone in the house most of the time bothered me. But the idea that Noah wouldn’t be next door. As much as I thought my career choice was the best thing in the world for me, I wouldn't really know that until I started.

I had finished High School and all my best friends were going to college. I kind of felt lonely, as if there was nothing left for me back home. Dad used to travel most of the year, but now it kind of felt that since he’d got married to Michelle, it was all year round.

“I’m going to miss you,” I sighed as we reached the hotel and Dad checked us all in.

I wished that he had stayed with us, at least for this one night.

“I’ll miss you more.” There were tears welling not only in my eyes but his too.

“Please, it’s not like he’s on the other side of the world,” Michelle snatched Noah’s hand and said, “Just remember to call and make sure you keep in touch with your sister. She misses you too.”

He nodded as if he had just remembered something. Noah kissed her on the cheek and gave me a chain. It had his picture in the gold heart that was at the end of it.

“Now, whenever you want to see my face then you can see me. No matter where you are.” I wrapped my arm around his neck.

I was kicking myself. Why hadn’t I tried to study too?

We could have been at the same college. Together forever. The pain of knowing that he was far started to become unbearable.

“Hey, I’m just call away. Remember. And I’ll see you every second weekend.”

I nodded.

“Every holiday I’ll be home.”

It just didn’t feel like enough; I wanted him with me all the time. Like it had been back at the hotel after the Prom, in each other’s arms. Talking. Loving. Caring about each other.

“I don’t know if I can do this,” I said as the tears started to dampen my shirt.

“You’ve got to.”

That was when I felt Michelle’s hand on me and Dad mumbled something and patted Noah on the back and said his goodbyes.

We were alone in the hotel lobby. Holding each other and saying, “Until next time.” That was when he let go of me and walked away saying, “I’m just a call away.”
