Noortje’s POV

My eyes slowly fluttered open and I saw it was already morning. Sunshine was streaming through the curtains, creating a line of bright light on the floor. I was still laying naked on Tony’s chest, with Tony’s arm wrapped around me. I looked up through my eyelashes and saw Tony looking down at me.
“Morning, baby.” He smiled down at me.
“Morning.” I pushed myself up slightly, wanting to kiss his jawline. Instead, Tony tilted down his head, making me kiss his lips.
“You asshole.” I giggled and slapped him lightly on his chest.
“You like it though,” He smirked.
“That I do.”
I went to peck him on his lips again, but found myself not able to stop. Tony flipped us over so he was now slightly hovering over me from the side, and made the kiss deeper. I let my hand travel up his chest and into his hair. This kiss was about to get heated when there was angry knocking on the door. We quickly jumped apart and looked at the time. Shit. We had 15 minutes till we had to leave.
“I’m going to take a quick shower.” I announced and ran towards the bathroom.

I turned on the water so it was extra hot and stood underneath it. All the sweat from yesterday's events washed off me, but the memories were still there. I grinned slightly, but realised I had to be fast and quickly lathered my hair before washing it out. After turning off the water I wrapped a towel around myself and went to put on my clothes. Wait… I forgot to clothes in here with me. Ugh, going out in just a towel it is.

I opened the door and was met with the eyes of four boys.
“Holy shitting fuck!” I screamed out, “You guys scared me!”
“Sorry, but we have to leave. So hurry up.” Vic stressed.
“You guys do realise Tony’s still in his pyjamas, so why only get mad at me?”
“What the fuck Tony!”
“Hey!” Tony retaliated.
“Can you guys just turn around so I can get changed, afterwards Tony will be able to change.” I whined.
Everybody turned around except Mike.
“It’s nothing we haven’t seen before,” He shrugged.
“You’ve seen me completely naked!” I shrieked.
“Right…” Mike sucked in a breath and turned on the balls on his feet.

I quickly got changed and tapped Tony on his shoulder, notifying him that it was his turn. Everybody turned around with him and he pulled of his shirt.
“Dude, Tony, what happened to your neck?!?” Jaime exclaimed.
Well shit. That’s another thing I forgot about and another curse word. I started coughing really loudly to distract everyone. All attention was on me now.
“Umm… Noortje, are you ok?” Vic piped up.
I immediately stopped, “Yeah, all good.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yep, I’m fine.”
Or so I thought I was. Everybody, except for Tony, was giving me strange and weird looks with a hint of concern in them. I stared back at them when a wave of nausea suddenly hit me. Why now? I shook my head and ran in the bathroom, slamming the door behind me.

Burning liquid came out of mouth as I kneeled in front of the toilet bowl.
“Fuck!” I screamed out in a ear piercing tone and slammed my fist against the wall.
The door opened slightly and Tony, now fully dressed, peaked his head in.
“Are you ok?” He asked carefully.
“Yeah,” I wiped away some tears I didn’t know had fallen, “You guys go already, I’ll be there soon.”
I hunched over the toilet once again as my stomach emptied itself more.
“I don’t think you’re ok.” Tony tried to go into the bathroom further.
“Just fucking leave!” I screeched, not wanting anybody to be around me right now.
He slowly closed the door and I was left alone with the deafening silence.

----

We were all sitting in the front lounge not really talking to each other and being very unsociable. Luckily nobody had mentioned what happened before. It was very embarrassing and it had never happened around everybody before. Sure, there was that one time with Jaime and those couple of times with Tony before we had our fight. But it was never like this, I never had a reaction like this. I guess I was just fed up and just wished nobody knew.

“Hey, baby, we need to talk.” Tony said out of nowhere.
“Did you just call Noortje baby?” Mike inquired.
“Umm… No?”
“You totally did!” Jaime exclaimed.
“I don’t think I did. Did I?”
“Umm… yeah? You literally just said ‘Hey, baby, we need to talk’.”
“Really?”
“Yep.” Vic grinned.
“Ok? I guess I did,” Tony conceded, “I’m really really sorry, Noortje.”
“It’s ok, I guess I’ll let it slip this time,” I laughed, “So… what’s up? Did I do something wrong?”
“No… or at least I don’t think you did… I hope. But I thought we could talk somewhere more private.”
“Umm, sure.” I made my way to the back lounge with Tony walking behind me.
“Tony has a crush!” Vic hollered.
“So what if I do!” Tony joked as he closed the door behind himself.

I sat down on the couch and waited for Tony to join me and start talking. He sat opposite of me and looked at his hands, which were in his lap, as if he was trying to find out where to start. I slowly started to get nervous. What if he was going to break up with me? Maybe last night was a mistake? Did I scare him off? I knew I should never have done what I did last night! It was all a stupid mistake which will result in me loosing Tony.

“Jaime told me what happened.” He started.
“Told you what?” I perplexed.
“About what happened at the airport… And that it wasn’t the first time.”
“Oh.”
“I just- I just want to know why you do it.”
“I wish I knew Tone,” I sighed, “I really wish I didn’t. It just started one day. I feel really nauseous and I try my best not to throw up, but I can’t help it. I just feel really sick… really sick. But I’ve been doing better. I have been able to keep it from happening, except for this morning, as you probably have noticed. I actually gained a couple of pounds because you have been force feeding me.”
“Ok, I just want you to know that I believe you, but if you ever have weird thoughts, you tell me, ok?”
“Don’t worry, I will.”

He took a piece of hair that had fallen into my face, and pushed it behind my ear before carefully kissing me. He was gentle; the complete opposite of yesterday. I put one of my hands on the area between his cheek and neck, steading the slow rhythm.

We slowly pulled away and rested our foreheads against each other. I opened my eyes and saw Tony smiling at me.
“I love you.” He whispered.
I gave him a peck on the lips and didn’t say anything.
“I feel like scaring Jaime now.” I giggled.
“Okay, I’ll be here waiting for you to return.”

I stomped my way back to the front lounge, trying to look furious.
“Jaime!” I growled.
Everybody’s eyes shot up to look at me and Jaime looked terrified. He jumped up and tried to back away from me.
“I’m sorry, Noortje,” He stuttered as everybody looked confused, “I had to. I couldn’t just let it be and I knew I couldn’t do something myself. The only thing I could do was tell him. He’s the only one who was able to help you.”
I raised my hand to slap him, but instead went for a hug. He hesitated, but eventually gave him and wrapped his arms around me.
“Thank you.” I muttered.
“You’re welcome…?” He replied completely confused out of his mind.
“I was just messing with you. But really, thank you.”
“Ok, what’s going on here?” Vic interrupted.
“Well, she-” Jaime started.
“Don’t you dare. I might not have done it this time, but I will not hesitate to kick your ass.” I warned.
“Ok. I won’t” He shrieked.
“Good. Now if you don’t mind, I’m gonna grab a bottle of water and continue my conversation with Tony.”

Notes

Just a quick chapter.

This is already chapter 50! Like, what the actual fuck! I never planned on having so many chapters. When I started this story my goal was to have around 30-35 chapters. But look where we are now! 50 chapters and not even close to the end!!!!

Anyway, the next chapter will probably be a lot more interesting and (hopefully) longer.

I want you guys to give me some feedback! I don't know whether you're liking this story or not! Tell me what you want to happen, tell me what I should improve, or even just tell me how your day went. I really don't care what you tell me (You could even literally just comment 'bananas' and I'll be cool with it. Maybe even more than cool, cause come on, bananas are pretty cool).
