My Perfect Adoptive Family

A New Home

Ella's P.O.V

Riker swings open the door to an apartment. "Welcome home," he sighs. We walk in and he tosses his keys onto the table. "Your room is down the hall, second door on your right."

I nod before wondering to my room. I empty my book bag silently. I neatly fold the four outfits I have, before setting them in my dresser. I put my iPad on the charge before walking back to the kitchen. "It's beautiful here," I say to Riker who's staring at his phone with a smile.

"Hmm?" He looks up. "Oh, yeah. It's nice," he looks back down. i sit at the table with him. After a few minutes, he locks his phone before looking at me. "Are you hungry? We can go to the mall and grab something to eat," he suggests.

I shrug. "Whatever is fine with you," I say shyly.

"It's up to you, we'll do whatever you want."

I show him a small smile. "We can do that," we get up and walk to the door.

After a few minutes of driving, Riker speaks up. "Tell me about yourself," he says, his eyes locked on the road.

"Well, I'm turning 16 in a month.. my favorite color is pink, my favorite movie is Guardians of the Galaxy, and I like any song that's Pop-rock. Your turn," I say quickly.

He smiles as he pulls into a parking space. "I'll be throwing you a giant birthday party in a month, my favorite color is blue, my favorite books are the Hunger Games or Harry Potter, and I like most songs that are pop-rock also." He laughs as we walk through the mall. We talk the whole time. I actually opened up and told him some personal things. At first, he seems shocked. Then, he promises to protect me from everything. when we get back, his phone starts ringing. "I have to take this," he says before rushing to his room.

I bring my bags to my room. I empty out my clothes and set up my phone. When I finish in my room, I walk back out to the living room. Wow, it's already 11pm. I should start getting ready for bed.

After putting on pj's and brushing my teeth, I knock on Riker's door. "Goin' to bed?" He asks as he moves his phone away from his face.

I nod quickly. "Yes, I'm tired. Thank you again for my stuff." I smile as I hug him.

He hugs me back tightly. "Okay, goodnight. Sweet dreams, love you!" He calls after me as I walk back to my room.

I close my door before curling in the blankets.

"AHH!" I scream as I awake from a horrid nightmare. I hold my neck, afraid that someone will strangle me again.

Riker bursts in the door. "Are you okay!? What happened!?" He asks worriedly. I cry loudly into my hands. My body is pulled into his warm arms. "Shh, I'm here now." He whispers assuringly. After my sobs die down to small hiccups, he pulls away. "Would you like to come sit on the couch with me?"

I nod. He guides me by the small of my back to the couch. I lay my head on his lap. At first, he tenses up. After a few seconds, his arm drapes around my upper body.

Riker's P.O.V

After Ella falls back asleep, I carry her back to her room. There's a knock at the main door. I quickly kiss Ella's head before rushing to the door. I smile at my beautiful girlfriend, standing in the door. I wrap my arms around her body. "I missed you so much, Sel," I mumble into her hair.

She squeezes me tightly. "How come you didn't come over to my house?" She asks as we walk into the kitchen.

I grab her waist, lifting her onto the counter. "I finally went through with the adoption today."

Her eyes go wide, making me get nervous, then she smiles. "Baby! That's amazing!" She kisses me passionately. "Boy or girl?" Her legs wrap around my waist.

I pull her hips to mine. "Girl, she'll be 16 next month. I think that's when you should meet everyone," I say before kissing her neck.

Selena pulls back, cupping my face. "No, babe. It's her birthday. I'll meet everyone after that," she says sweetly.

"Or before," I mumble as I lay my head on her shoulder. We sit in silence for a few minutes. I glance at the clock, 12:36am. "Are you going to sleep over?" I ask as I stand up straight.

I stick out my bottom lip as I give her puppy dog eyes. "Oh, put that thing back in your mouth. I'll stay, as long as I get a little something," she smirks.

I lift her and carry her to my room. I kick the door closed as we share a heated kiss. She pulls back, giving me a worried look. "What's wrong, baby?" I caress her cheek.

She shakes her head. "Nothing, i just wanted to see your face, that's all." She smiles as she looks deep into my eyes.

I plop down on the bed next to her. She squeals before jumping up. I watch her throw off all over her clothes, except her underwear, before she puts on my shirt. I smile as i strip down to my boxers. We snuggle together under the blankets.
