Tony’s POV

We were all sat around the table trying to think of something to do. Everybody had asked Ewout why she ran away, but he kept insisting that he didn’t want to tell us something she might not want us to know. We had the idea to split up and look around the area, but knowing Noortje she would not be close around. She was gone, and there was probably nothing we could do but wait and hope she comes back.

My phone buzzed and I took it out of my pocket. Everybody looked at me with anticipation. I stared at the screen and was completely confused.

“It’s from Noortje.” I mumbled.
“What does it say!” Everybody shouted and leaned towards me.
“The trees meet the sun and the water is burried down deep.” I read out and looked back up at the others.
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!?” Jaime exclaimed.
We all sat in silence, trying to solve the riddle, when Ewout’s eyes went wide, “I know where she is.”
“Well, we have to go get her then.” I uttered.
Ewout nodded, “We can go in my car.”
“You guys go, we’ll go to the hotel already.” Vic sighed and Mike and Jaime nodded.
“What? Why?” I asked.
“There’s probably a reason why she sent it to you and not to us.”
“Yeah, ok. Let’s go get her then.” I turned to Ewout, jumping a bit with excitement.

Ewout and I ran out and got in the car. I wanted to ask so many questions, but knew better. Instead I looked out the window and watched the scenery pass us. We slowly went out of the city and took a right. The narrow road was going through fields and farms. I had no clue where we were going and I was pretty sure that if we met another car we would probably be stuck. The car kept driving and the questions kept spinning around in my head. I could help myself anymore.

“Do you know why your parents hate Noortje so much?” I blurted out.
“I wish I did. Noortje and I even did a DNA test to see if my mum had cheated and that Noortje was just a bad memory for both of our parents. But nope, same mother, same father.”
“That sucks,” I sighed, “Not that you have the same parents, but that you don’t know why they hate her.”
“I know why Annika hates her though.”
“Really?”
“Yea. It’s simple. My parent hate Noortje, so she does as well. Annika has always been the child that did exactly what my parents wanted.” He laughed.
“She does seem like one of those people.”

We kept going down the road, slowly creeping further and further in the fields. The sun was close to setting and everything was illuminated by a golden yellow. We had already been in the car for a full 15 minutes. How the fuck did Noortje manage to go all the way here on foot? The car slowed down and Ewout turned to the left. We were stopped in front of a fence.

“This is the furthest I can go. You’ll have to walk the rest of the way. I’ll wait here for you to come back.”
I nodded and stepped out of the car, closing the door with a loud thump. I walked towards the fence and looked back at Ewout. He nodded and motioned for me to continue. I took a deep breath and walked down the path. The sun was blinding, but it made everything look magical. I was determined to find Noortje before sunset.

I ended up at a tree and found Noortje leaning against it while she was drawing something. I looked over her shoulder to see what she was drawing and smiled.

“That’s a nice spaceship.” I complimented.

She didn’t look away from her drawing and shrugged. I exhaled and sat in front of her. She acknowledge my presence, but she still kept all her attention on the drawing. I watched her movements across the paper. They were swift but sure, careful but strong. She suddenly stopped drawing and sighed. I looked back up to see her staring at me.

“I was sixteen when Tom died. He was only 3 years old and my parents treated him like an accident.” I placed my hand against her cheek and wiped away a stray tear. “He got really sick and was admitted the hospital. I remember running out of school so I could visit him everyday because nobody else did. He always liked when I drew him space things. Eventually the whole wall behind his hospital bed was covered in my drawings. We had created our own galaxy. Remember the day we were going home after the first part of the tour? It was 12 years since he had died.”
She stopped talking and averted her eyes down.
“I’m so so sorry.” I whispered while moving closer and hugging her.
“But I’m not,” She mumbled, “He was in so much pain, Tone. I’m not sorry. I just feel worthless.”
“But you’re not.” I moved away from the hug and leaned in so my face was just a few inches away from hers.
“Yea, right.” She laughed and moved her head away.
I shook my head and pulled her to look at me again, “Let me prove it to you.”
Her eyes flickered from my eyes to my lips and I did the same.
“Ok.” She whispered.

The sun started setting and I crashed my lips against hers. She immediately kissed me back. It was slow and loving. I slowly pushed her back and straddled her. The kiss started to get more heated and she started to rub herself against me. I couldn’t do this… At least not here.

I pulled away and looked down at her. Her eyes were twinkling and her hair had an extra orange glow.
“We should probably get back. Your brother is waiting in the car for us.” I whispered.
She nodded and sat back up. I stood up and brushed the dirt off me. Noortje took off her shoes and held on to them. I picked her up and she squealed. I gave her one last kiss and made my way back towards the car.

Ewout was leaning against his car and grinned when he saw us. He opened the backseat door for us. I slid in and let Noortje rest her head in my lap. Ewout closed the door and ran the the drivers seat.
“You ready to go?” He asked.
Noortje and I hummed while staring at each other. She reached out her hand and stroked my cheek. I smiled back and looked out of the window. Absentmindedly, I started playing with her hair. Ewout adjusted his rear-view mirror. He caught my eye and smirked at me. I shook my head as he reversed and pulled onto the road.

“Thanks for the help.” I said to Ewout.
“No problem. You guys go have some fun.”
Noortje flipped him off and hit the back of his head. Ewout laughed and entered his car again.

Noortje and I walked to our hotel room together, not saying a word. I closed the door behind me and Noortje pushed me against the wall. I looked at her with raised eyebrows and a smirk and she kissed me. This time it was a lot less sweet and a lot more passionate. I waddled us over to the bed and reached for the zipper of her dress. I pulled it down and she stepped out of it. She pulled away and untied my tie and threw it away. Next she moved over to the buttons of my shirt and she started undoing them while biting her bottom lip. I stared down at her and watched her every move. She pushed the shirt off my shoulders and threw it in the same direction as the tie. I captured her lips again and pushed her onto the bed and crawled on top of her.

My hands wandered up and down her body until I dared to move my hands up more and massage her breasts.
“No bra? I like it.” I smirked.
I felt her nipples harden underneath my hands and I trailed kissed down her neck. She let out a long moan and blushed.
“No need to be embarrassed,” I mumbled and kissed back up her neck, “Let’s just hope that Vic doesn’t-” There was a knock on the door. “...interrupt us again.”

Noortje’s POV

Tony groaned and climbed off me. He went to open the door, but I stopped him.
“Tony!” I hissed and looked down at his tented pants.
He followed my gaze and groaned again, “Shit.”
He jumped up and down a bit and opened the door, hiding behind it.
“What’s up.” He tried to ask as calm as possible.
“I was just wondering how you guys were?” Yep, it was Vic again.
“Noortje’s asleep right now. We’re all good.” He answered while squirming.
“Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I was just about to go to the bathroom when you knocked. My bladder is this close to exploding.” Tony emphasized.
“Oh, ok? I’ll leave you to in then?” Vic said confused.
“Thanks.” Tony slammed the door shut.

He walked back over to the bed and paced up and down while huffing.
“What the fuck is his problem!” Tony exclaimed.
I saw still laying half naked on the bed and was craving Tony’s touch. Tony kept pacing up and down.
“Tony!” I shouted.
His head snapped towards me and I motioned for him to come over. He crawled back on top of me and kissed me hard. I reached for the bulge in his pants and palmed him. His breath hitched in his throat and I smirked.
“We should get rid of these. They look painful.” I said while pointing to his jeans.
Tony nodded furiously as I unbuckled his belt and pushed his jeans down. He kicked them off further and went back to kissing me. He started grinding against me when he suddenly stopped and looked at me with wide eyes. I whined.
“I don’t have a condom.” He stammered.
I sighed and looked at him, I also didn’t have any. That’s when an idea popped up in my head, “First thing tomorrow, we go to the pharmacy and get a morning after pill and buy some condoms for later.”
“Are you sure?”
I nodded and brought him back to my lips. He cleverly removed my panties and then pulled down his own boxers. His erection sprang free and I went to grab it. Tony moved my hand away and shook his head.
“I won’t last through foreplay.” He mumbled embarrassed.
“No worries.” I smiled.
Tony pecked me on my lips and lined up with me. He slowly entered me and I winced in pain.
“Are you ok? Am I hurting you?” He said in a worried tone.
I nodded, “Yeah, but it’s ok. It’s just proof that I did in fact not have sex with Mike… Keep going.”
He pushed himself in completely and looked up at me for permission.
“God it feels like I’m losing my virginity again.” I grimaced.
I let myself adjust and nodded to Tony. He started thrusting in and out of me. I met his thrusts and dug my nails in his back. I felt like I was on cloud nine.
Tony was right when he said he would not have been able to last through foreplay. But I’m pretty sure I also wouldn’t have. We were going at it for about half a minute when I felt my orgasm building up.
“Tony…” I warned.
“Me too, baby, me too.” he growled into my ear.
This was enough to send me over the edge. I clenched around him and screamed out his name. A few seconds later I felt something warm shoot up in me and Tony collapsed on top of me. We caught our breath and Tony slipped out of me before lying down next to me. I was completely tired out. I moved over so I could rest my head on Tony’s chest and he wrapped his arm around me.
“I think I’m falling in love with you.” He muttered in a sleepy state.
I kissed his chest to agree and fell asleep.

Notes

So Tony and Noortje did the do.
This was so awkward to write. Please tell me what to improve.
