Jamie

We hear the door click open and shoot up from the intimate position we had been in just moments ago.

Noah jumps away, scooting far across to the other side of the bed. I sigh, internally cursing whoever is in the room.

"Hello?" I call out.

"Ciao," comes a female voice with a thick accent, "I am room service. I'm here to clean." She explains.

Oh, of course. My parents had told me about this! I can't believe I forgot!

"Yes, yeah we were just -uh- leaving." I say, pulling Noah's arm along with me, grabbing two towels.

I pick up the room key as we exit and drag Noah down to the elevator.

"That was a big of a mood killer." Noah says once the doors have closed.

I click my tongue together, "sure was."
"Too bad we got interrupted."

I sigh, "yeah."

We are silent for a few minutes and I don't know what Noah is thinking about but I can bet it is pretty close to my own train of thought.

I can't help but wonder about what would have happened if we hadn't been interrupted. I mean, sure, Noah and I have had some very intimate moments together and our makeouts have gotten very intensely heated, but would we have went that far? I love Noah with all my heart and am more than one hundred percent committed to him but am I ready for that? Would I have let it get that far? Would I want it to?

These are all questions that I don't have the answer for. Not yet anyways. I am sure that I love Noah. I am sure that I want him to be my first. Just like I hope I am his first. He has never told me he has done that with anyone else and he would have told me if he had. I just don't know if I want it now.

My thoughts begin to consume me and I don't even realize that the elevator has stopped and we are walking out.

"Are you okay?" Noah asks me, looking concerned.

"Yeah, I ... yeah, I'm fine." I reassure him.

He gives me a look as if he doesn't believe me.

"Is this about...up there?"

My face flushes red, "sort of," I mumble.

Noah suddenly stops walking and grabs my shoulders, making me face him.

"Jamie. I don't ever want you to feel insecure about us, about our relationship, okay? If you ever have a question about anything, ask me okay? I have been and will be perfectly honest with you and will never push you to do anything you don't want to do."

I shake my head, "it's not that I don't want to do that with you. I just don't know if I want it right now. I don't know if I am ready for that."

"I am sure you are more than ready for anything, Jamie. You are a very amazing and capable girl. I won't ever push you into that if you don't want it, just let me know okay?"

"I will."

Noah nods his head and brings me into him, kissing my forehead roughly, "I love you."

"I love you too."

We walk together in silence for another minute or so, the thoughts of earlier on my mind. I had never thought about the fact that Noah might not be a virgin. I am sure he would have told me, but what if he left that out? It's not like I have ever asked.

Noah has told me repeatedly that if I ever have a question about anything in our relationship I just have to ask. Opening my mouth, I am about to do just that.

"Are you a virgin?" I blurt out. My eyes going wide as that is not how I wanted to ask.

Laughter floods from Noah's mouth, "what?"

I inhale a sharp breath, "you told me that if I ever wanted to know anything regarding us and out relationship I just had to ask. Are you a virgin?"

"Yes, in fact, I am. I could never be with anyone else. The only person I have ever wanted was you, Jamie. I wasn't about to throw out something so special to me and who I am for someone I didn't care about. I have always wanted you to be my first, my last, and all the in betweens."

I smile, "I want that too. Just wait for me, okay? I'm not ready yet. But I will be, soon. Just wait. Don't give up on me."

"I would never." He tells me, pulling me closer to him.

"I'm getting a refill, you want one too?" Noah asks me, getting up from his lawn chair.

I nod my head, too sleepy to answer with words.

Noah laughs, reaching over me to grab my cup.

"I'll be right back babe," he tells me and places a kiss on the top of my head.

I nod again, keeping my eyes closed as I let the sun wash over me.

After the 'almost incident' back in the hotel room, Noah and I had spent the day together. We had walked through the town, going to all of the little outlet shops and such, just browsing through.

After going through the town, we came back to the pool, hanging out in the lawn chairs, drinking smoothies, talking, and laughing. It had been the perfect day.

My hand goes up to my neck, feeling the smooth edges of the necklace Noah bought for me while we were in town. We saw this little Italian jewelry place and Noah saw a silver chain necklace there with a heart and two diamond studs. It is gorgeous, I love it.
Ten minutes after Noah had left to refill the smoothies and he is still not back.

I begrudgingly get up from my spot, not wanting to do anything other than lie down and tan.

I slip on the black flats I had with me and begin to walk, calling out Noah's name but getting no response.

I check the smoothie counter first, not seeing him there. I go to the indoor area with the hot tub but there is no sign of him there either.

I am just about to decide that he is in the bathroom and go back to lie down when I hear a female voice. I peek behind the wall and see the same girl from the Italian class with the piercing blue eyes. The girl who couldn't stop staring at Noah. Well, I also see another person. This person is pinned up against the wall by her. This person, is Noah.
