Noah's New Plan - 36. Chapter 36
When he heard the front door open and close, Eli pocketed his phone and met Noah in the living room.
Thank God.
He'd spent the last two hours checking his phone continuously, waiting for a text or call from Noah. He expected Noah to be agitated when he walked in; he usually was after an encounter with his ex. That fucking scumbag.
But Noah appeared to be quite calm.
"Everything okay?"
Noah nodded.
Knowing how much he craved physical contact, Eli took his man into his arms and pulled him in tight. With a soft sigh, Noah melted into Eli's chest. They stayed that way for a few silent moments, basking in the warmth of the embrace.
Eli pressed his nose and mouth to the top of Noah's head. "You wanna talk about what happened?"
"Not much to say..." Noah shrugged as he stepped back to look Eli in the eye. "He offered me a percentage of the sale, though."
Eli pumped his fist. "Yes. We can do that bathroom remodel now."
Noah laughed. "I didn't take it, you goof. I told him I didn't want it. I didn't need it."
"Seriously, good for you. You don't need him holding that over your head."
"That's exactly what I thought."
"You know he would."
"I think he finally gets it."
"Gets what?"
"That I've moved on."
Eli couldn't have possibly helped the grin that spread across his face.
Noah continued, twirling his fingers through the curls of hair peeking out of the collar of his t-shirt. "That I'm with you. I don't need Derek or his money. I have everything I need right here."
Like the grin he couldn't help, his cock involuntarily began to thicken.
"Say that again, baby."
"I'm with you. You're all I need."
Eli yanked Noah close and kissed the hell out of him. Just as he began to grind his hips into Noah, Noah pushed back and ended the kiss.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you. Derek dumped Reagan."
"Yeah, that's nice," Eli muttered dismissively before going in for another kiss.
"I thought we were going out for dinner."
"Later."
* * * *
Noah flipped open his notebook. They were having Eli's parents over for dinner this weekend and Noah was still working on his plan for the perfect meal. He tapped his pen on his lip, and had an epiphany.
He finished up his grocery list, then re-read it one last time, making sure he hadn't missed anything.
As he was about to close the notebook, the pages flipped to an earlier list. Two words slapped him in the face:
1. GET LAID.
Noah smiled.
Little did he know when he started his new plan that Leslie's words would set him down this path. After his breakup with Derek, the last thing he expected was to meet someone new. Someone who he'd settle down with to begin a new chapter of his life.
Eli was persistent though. And Noah was grateful. In the process, he'd learned a lot about himself. He didn't need a man to define him, or to take care of him. Not a man who completed him, but a man who complemented him.
And that man was Eli Holmes.
"Well, we took care of that tonight." He crossed the words out with his pen.
Eli shuffled out of the bedroom. Stifling a yawn, he rubbed at sleep in his eyes. "You coming back to bed, baby?"
"Yeah." Noah closed his notebook. He stood and turned to face his man. "I love you, Eli."
"I love you, too, Noah."
