《Stranded》Chapter 6 : Why do I keep ending up in his arms?

Becca's P.O.V
When I returned to the shelter. I saw Noah climbing a tree.
"Noah! Get down! You idiot! You'll hurt yourself!"I cried as I rushed towards him. He manages to climb on top of the tree, ignoring my warnings.
"I did! Victory!" he shouts, raising both arms in the air. He gasps. "Babe, you've gotta see this."
I sigh and started climbing the tree. "Stupid tree" I huff as I reach the top.
The view is unbelievable. I pull out my phone and take a photo. The blue sky and the white puffy clouds. The ocean was sapphire blue. I turned to look beside me.
Noah smiles and his eyes are as blue as the ocean. What is wrong with me? I sound like a romance novel.
"It's beautiful" I say, finding my voice, again. He nods.
"Hey, we should climb down, it's getting dark." Noah said.
I watched Noah swiftly climb down the tree.
This is higher than I thought, I hesitate. I carefully slide my foot down and suddenly I am falling! I scream. Strong, muscular arms are suddenly supporting me.
"Whoa, there babe!" he chuckles. Why am I such a klutz?
I blush furiously. "You should have just let me fall." I replied. He smirks.
"Of course not! By the way isn't this the part where you say 'My hero, marry me'?" He complained.
"Oh my freaking hero. Marry my ass!" I answered, sarcastically.
"You have wounded my heart, babe." He teased, clutching his chest, dramatically.
Suddenly I remember that he is still carrying me. "Please put me down." I said.
He reluctantly puts me down. He pouts. "No thank you? Where is your gratitude, babe?" He huffed.
I lean over and give him a kiss on his cheek. He looks shocked. I giggle at his expression.

"The last one to the shelter is a rotten ass!" I declare, running off.
"Not so fast, babe." I hear his footsteps and run faster. He passes me with a huge cocky smirk on his face.
"Took you long enough, babe." He greeted me, as I arrive. I roll my eyes. " I love it, when you roll your eyes, babe." he said, grinning. I rolled my eyes, again. "Dammit!" I grumble.
Noah's smirk grows more pronounced. " I won! I won! Ha ha! You are the rotten ass!" He gloats.
" Oh my, is that way you treat ladies?" I mocking his teasing tone.
He grins widely. I look away. I look at him again, he grins even wider. I look away. Don't look toward- Dammit! I look at him again. He grins wider and yelps in pain, clutching his mouth. I can't help but smile.
After a fabulous dinner, I lay down against the ground. He lies down beside me. I turn my back on him. Just about when I was about to drift off. I feel his strong arms wrap around my waist. I swat it away. Then I realize, Oh my god, Noah Jackson is spooning with me!
Before I can protest or do something, exhaustion hits me like an wave.
And despite wanting to push him away, my last conscious thought is how warm and comfortable it is.

There is no way that this was happening. Were they joking? Or was I having another nightmare? This made no sense.Tears welled up in my eyes at mom's statement. My eyes snapped to Adrian and he already was staring at me with intense eyes. I looked away from him and at my mom. I saw her slam the contract on the table. "Now sign this sweetheart." Her words dripped like rotten and tasteless honey. I spun my head towards the table and again gazed at an opened page of the contract. I read the page slowly as my eyes shifted between the words, not believing it. It was a contract, a small one that had no other information than it stated that I had to marry Adrian. It was signed by Mr and Mrs Hayes, Adrian and both of my parents. My eyes darted back to my mom and shook my head in disapproval. No way was I agreeing to this disaster. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• -WARNINGS-• This book contains strong scenes of abuse. • Please take caution as some scenes may be too harsh for the audience to read.• All rights are owned by @PurplezBubble.Cover by @the_vampgal
