Road Bumps

The next few days, I barely saw Noah. He urgently had to go back into work. His companies needed him. His employees needed him.

I had to accept that he was going to be busy a lot no matter what he had said.

Throughout everyday we would text each other back and forth. Sometimes I had to wait hours for replies.

And then 4 days later he had to fly back to England to take care of a few more things since he hadn't been there in months.

He didn't leave me completely alone though. He had hired a wonderful housekeeper, Matilda. She cooked and cleaned for me among many other things.

After confessing how we felt to each other, we just sort of didn't say anything else about it since I last saw him in person. I would be lying if I didn't say it didn't bother me.

Conversation between us was neutral. Normal 'how are you doing?' and 'what's the weather been like?' And my favorite, 'how's schooling going?'

Yeah, I had started homeschooling now and was exactly two days into it. I was honest and told him it was a bit difficult on my own so he hired a tutor through the company who was coming today for my third day of school.

I was really hoping I got a long with whoever came.

I was also really hoping that Noah hadn't changed his mind about the direction of our relationship. I wouldn't be surprised if he had though.

Guys said things that made girls thoroughly believe them. They could be so convincing you wouldn't have a single doubt about how they felt and then they'd throw you in the dirt.

I prayed that Noah was different. Just because he was an actual 'man' it didn't mean he wasn't capable of hurting me or changing his mind. Especially with our unique situation.

He had an outstanding reputation to uphold. If anyone got wind of him doing naughty things with his daughter he'd be shunned and shamed for life.

Sighing, I bit my lip while I opened up my laptop. I was sitting at the dining room table watching Matilda make my lunch. I knew it was time to start a lesson. I had to 'clock' in at least 5 hours a day of work or Noah would be notified.

And it's not like I didn't want to do well either, I still needed and wanted to graduate high school.

"It's almost done hunny." Matilda smiled over her shoulder at me and I smiled back, nodding my head. I still had a lot of getting to know her as well as Noah. I wanted to be very familiar with everyone who was constant in my life.

Speaking of constant my mom texted me the day after Noah left asking if she could call... I didn't respond and she didn't try again.

It would take awhile before I felt comfortable enough to talk to her again.

As soon as I logged onto the schooling website the doorbell rang.

I jumped up. "Got it!" I knew it was the tutor and I was excited to get some help. Maybe I could make a new friend. It was someone from a local college nearby who had volunteered to tutor.

As soon as I opened the door I had to force my jaw from dropping to the floor. He was GORGEOUS. I mean HOLY HELL. I had never seen someone who could match Noah in looks.

His face was perfectly sculpted, his eyes dark and mysterious under dark brows. He looked like a model. His facial hair made him look even more polished. He had it cut just right along with the hair on his head.

And then he smiled and I died a little inside. How could someone be that PERFECT.

"Hi, you must be Harper. I'm Logan, your new tutor."

I nodded, struggling to find words. "Y-yes... Uhm... I - c-come in...."

He chuckled, walking in past me. I quickly shut the door turning to him. He smelled just as good as Noah. Ughhhh, men's cologne turned me on... the smell of it made me think really dirty things. Like how Logan would look naked on top of me, thrustin-

"It's nice to meet you, where would you like to start?" He was still grinning at me with those perfect teeth of his.

HELP.

"K-kitchen..."

He nodded and I quickly walked passed him leading the way. I was so freaking awkward, I just wanted to slap myself!

"Well hello there. Would you like to join us for lunch? I'm making pasta today." Matilda smiled warmly at Logan.

"Sure, smells wonderful. Thank you for the invitation."

We both sat down at the table, me awkwardly slipping into my seat, stumbling a bit.

I wonder if Noah knew the tutor would be a guy? Let alone a fücking Godly, gorgeous guy? Would he care? Maybe he was trying to set me up with someone else so he didn't have to follow through with our deeper relationship?

My mind really ran wild sometimes I just couldn't stop it.

As soon as my normal nervousness wore down and I started to feel more comfortable with Logan, I could form complete sentences! Go me!

We had a wonderful, delicious as always meal with Matilda. She sat and ate with us, helping me grow even more comfortable with Logan. I was so grateful.

I couldn't help but notice how he snuck in little peaks at me whenever he could. Oh no, did he think I was cute too? I mean to even think that Noah could like me was beyond my imagination but now Logan!?

My mind is running away from me again. I'm pretty sure it's all in my head.

Besides, I wanted Noah and no one else. Even if Logan was the epitome of hot.

I inhaled his scent in deeply as he now sat next to me on the couch and we went over a math lesson. I always had trouble with math. Fück numbers man, that's all I'm saying.

He continued to ask me if I understood every step I would take to solve a math problem he would give me. I tried to be honest but for some reason I just wasn't getting it.

"Ok, how about we start with something simpler? Would that help?"

I nodded meekly.

"Don't be embarrassed Harper. Math can be really hard. When I was your age I was the same way, I just never got it. So, there's hope. Now I understand and can pass down my knowledge to you."

"Is that why you do it?"

"Tutor? Yeah, because I know what it's like to struggle with learning. I had a great tutor as well and she was the only reason I believed in myself enough to apply for college."

"How many times did you have to apply?"

"Only once and I was accepted." He grinned widely and I felt my stomach do a summersault. This man... suddenly I was surrounded by the hottest men on the planet. Boys in my old school were ok. I dated many times but grew bored easily.

"Impressive. I already like you Logan." I smiled softly at him. There was that spontaneous courage that barely liked to come around. But when it did, it usually got me in deep shït. I just got lucky with Noah.

"I already like you too Harper, you're a great listener and you're really good at following instructions. I'm so happy I got you as a student. It's also a bonus that you're absolutely stunning."

My breath caught in my throat and I bit my lip.

No! Why! Don't do this. Don't say that! I'm really not all that stunning, I swear.

"Th-thank you... I... I don't know what t-to say..."

"I know what to say. Logan, that will be all thank you for your time and thank you for helping with Harper but we will no longer need your assistance here. You can leave now."

His voice rattled every bone in my body and I felt my skin grow way too hot.

I turned quickly to meet his furious, dark blue gaze. I didn't even hear him come in. I didn't even think he would be back for another week.

"W-what? Uhm. This is only my first day. We've been getting along great, I think I could really help Harper." Logan started to pack up his things as he spoke to Noah.

"I don't want you helping Harper in any way. Matilda has an envelope with your p*****t for today, she will meet you by the front door."

Logan scowled at Noah as he slung his bag over his shoulder. And then he looked at me and handed me a piece of paper.

"Get in touch with me if you need me at all. I'll be there."

Oh my God- did he just...

I looked at his number and name on the paper, nodding my head. "I will thank you f-for your time. I'm sorry."

He looked at Noah. "It's not your fault. I hope to see you around Harper. Nice meeting you."

I watched as Logan walked passed Noah to the main hall and out of view. My heart was beating rapidly in my chest and I was starting to have trouble breathing

Noah would read way too much into this. It was nothing, I did nothing.

As soon as the front doors slammed shut Noah spoke. "So this is what I find when I come back to surprise my baby girl early? You flirting with your handsome tutor. Am I not good enough for you sweetheart?"

I didn't look up at him as I listened to his footsteps approach me.

"I-it was nothing. I didn't f-flirt or anything. He said what he did b-but he just tutored me. He was good and helped me u-understand. I swear..."

He kneeled down and his fingers were under my chin. I was forced to look into the storm that was his eyes.

"You need to understand something. You are mine and no one else's. If anyone ever laid a finger on you I'd kill them." I gasped right before he smashed his lips down onto mine. I moaned into his mouth, after being starved of his taste for what seemed like forever.

He bit my lip and I whimpered. "I'm a little bit possessive baby. I love you so much. I didn't mean to scare you."

"I-it's ok. I just.. I-I missed you... s-so much."

"I'm sorry my love, I'm so sorry. I was going mad being away from you. I tried to keep conversation plain so I wouldn't go completely insane. There were so many things I wanted to say to you but I did my best to refrain from thinking about them... about what I wanted to do to you... how I missed your scent and your warmth... your blush..."

He ran his hand across my warm cheek and I shuddered.

My eyes closed for a moment until I felt his lips at my ear. His hot breath made me shiver and tremble as he gently bit my lobe. "Sleep in my bed tonight sweetheart. I don't want to be another night without you. Please."

I swallowed hard and slowly nodded my head. I wanted nothing more then to be next to him... with him...against him.

"That's my girl."
