Chained To Him

Chapter 5: Mornings are the best

Scarlet's P.O.V

My eyes slowly open and the harsh sunlight peeks through the curtains, making me squint. I slowly remove the strong arm trapping me in bed and climb out of the covers. I find my black robe lying on the floor and pick it up to cover my naked body.

Noah is still asleep, snoring lightly with his hair falling in front of his eyes slightly. Quickly, I run into the bathroom and start the shower, knowing I have around forty minutes till class starts. The cool water creates a sense of alertness through my body and I immediately feel more awake.

I walk back into my room to find the bed covers sprawled all over the bed and the smell of vanilla cinnamon buttermilk pancakes hits my nose. I can't believe he made them. 

They're my favourite food of all time and Noah is the only one who knows how to make them. I still remember the first time he made them for me. It was our first ever Valentine's Day and the best present I've ever received. Since then, he only makes them on special occasions or when I'm upset or hurt.

I throw on a pair of black ripped jeans and a white crop top. I run a brush through my hair and apply some make up into my eye, before running into the kitchen. Noah stands there with only his blue jeans on, whilst flipping pancakes. My mouth waters, but not at the sight of my boyfriend's abs but at the stack of pancakes covered in syrup in front of me. 

I start to eat and within five minutes I've scoffed down three. "You know no-one is gonna steal them right?" Noah said in an amused tone. I glare at him before taking another two and placing them on my plate.

When we finish eating, I wash up whilst he gets changed and we leave for school. Hand in hand we walk into the familiar building and I smirk as we pass Maddie, who's jaw is wide open. I see Alison's pink hair amongst the crowd of people who are all waiting to get into their class. 

I pull Noah towards her direction and watch him scowl at her cheery voice. "Hey!" Her face drops when she sees Noah beside me. "What are you f*****g doing with this bastard?" She shouts. 

"Watch your f*****g mouth, bitch." Noah says back and I give him a look signalling him to shut up.

"I can't believe your back with him after what he did to you." She says with disgust in her voice. 

"Alison, you don't understand. A lot of things happened and me and Noah both realise our mistakes," She cut me off, shouting once again.

"Our mistakes. You didn't do anything wrong okay. He's the one who hit you." People were starting to stare and I pulled her into an empty classroom, with Noah following closely behind.

"Yes, Noah hit me and he apologised but I provoked him by talking to Zach. We sorted it out okay and I really want you two to get along, after all you're my best friend and your my boyfriend. You're going to see each other a lot." I said to the both of them.

"I'll try, for you baby." I smiled at his response and pecked his lips. Alison just rolled her eyes and continued to look away. "Ali, please." I begged and she looked at me for a second before her eyes fixed on Noah in hatred.  "I'll try, but I can't promise anything and if he hits you again,"

"I'll never touch her like that again." Noah growls at her and the two have an intense staring match. She looks at her phone and picks her bag off the table. "I've got a class." She says not even looking at me.

"Okay I'll see you a lunch, right"

"Maybe," She mumbles, before leaving.

"Well, that could not have gone better." I said with sarcasm. Noah walked towards me and engulfed me into his muscular arms. He kissed my forehead and I buried my head into his neck. 

"Ignore, she'll get over it. She just jealous that guys only want to sleep with her." I slapped his chest and gave him a knowing look.

"Look, she's not exactly girlfriend material. Is she?" He said, defending himself. I knew what he was talking about. She couldn't do commitment and every guy knew. 

"Let's go to class, okay?" I nodded and he took my hand pulling me out of the classroom. We walked to the back of the class and sat in our usual seats. We were waiting for the lecture to start, when a familiar blonde haired boy sat beside me.

"Hey, Scarlet." He said as he got his books out of his bag. I looked in the corner of my eye to see Noah's slightly confused and angry expression.

"Hi Jordan." I said with a small smile and returned back to looking at the front of the classroom as Professor Watson started to talk. 

I felt a tight grip on my hand and Noah's harsh breath on my neck. "Didn't know you made new friends while I was away?" I felt anger boiling inside me. He was furious for no reason. I was sick of the fact that he doesn't trust me to be friends with other guys.

"Yes, I did and I'll have you know that Jordan is really nice and friendly. Maybe you could learn something from him." I said in a spiteful tone and focused on the presentation in front of me. The whole two hours I could feel Noah's eyes burning into me but I didn't pay him any attention.

The lecture finished three hours later and I was packing my stuff up when I felt a warm hand on my thigh. "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight?" Jordan asked, his blue eyes sparkling with hope. 

I know Noah heard and is on the verge of loosing his temper so I grab his hand and start to trace circles, with my finger tips in an attempt to soothe him. "I would love to Jordan, but me and my boyfriend were planning on having a romantic night in. Maybe another time, kay." 

I watched as Jordan's smile faltered slightly but he quickly replaced it with a slight smirk.

"No worries, maybe another time." He said, before giving me a quick wink and glaring at Noah.

I turned around and much to my assumption Noah stood their with his jaw and fist clenched. "Just a friend, huh." He gritted though his teeth. I laughed at his pettiness and grabbed his hand as we walked to lunch.

"You really need to work on your jealously and I promise that whenever I hang out with Jordan you'll be there too." I kissed him and moved away before he could deepen it.

He chuckled and followed me, grabbing me and pushing me into the wall. He plunged his tongue into my mouth and placed his hands on my waist. I smiled against his lips and wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing him closer. 

His pocket started to vibrate and he reluctantly pulled away. He looked at his phone and sighed. "What is it?" I said whilst trying to peek at his phone. 

"Nothing baby, I just have to deal with something. I owe this guy some money and the only time he can collect is now."

"Why do you owe him money?" I said frowning.

"He let me stay at his place these past days, but not for free. Anyway enough about him, why don't you go get us a table and I'll just meet you at the restaurant." 

"Okay," I whispered and he pecked my lips one last time before leaving. I was about to head out when I remembered that I left my phone in the classroom. I ran back quickly and luckily Professor Watson was still there. 

"Forgetting this," He said, waving my phone in front of me. I sighed and went to grab it but he pulled his hand back. "What about a thank you?" He said with a slight smirk. I knew that his words had a double meaning and many girls would probably fall on their knees for him.

He was quite attractive and very young for a university professor. Apparently, he graduated early from Cambridge and was named one of the smartest in his class. He's only 38 and lots of girls just choose his class for him.

"Uh..hhh, thank you?" I meant it to come out abrupt but I slipped up and revealed that he was making me nervous. His smirk grew even wider and I wanted to slap it off. I snatched the phone and ran out the room.

Everything about him was creepy. I mean I always noticed how he gave girls winks and stared at them during lectures but I thought it was just his flirtatious personality. I shook it off and walked back out. I froze for a moment before quickly hiding behind a wall. 

I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. He told me he cut all ties with that scumbag. He lied and betrayed me. I shouldn't have trusted him.
