Miss Independent [Completed]

Chapter Forty Three

For the last few days, Waylen has been messaging Adeline and calling her. I could see her getting frustrated over it and she kept saying how she wishes he would leave her alone.

"Restraining order." I mentioned.

She said she would file one as soon as possible.

"Anything to keep him away from me and Paisley."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't."

I knew Waylen a little too well and everything he was scared of. I knew his weakness and what made him mad, scared and everything else to use against him.

He had no chance if he came after me.

And he knew that.

So, if he wanted to come to my house and try anything then he knew I was ready for him and he would regret it.

But Adeline did file a restraining order later that week and I was proud of her.

It made things a little better now and Adeline finally was relaxed as we were in bed, cuddling and staring at each other.

The weekend was here and it felt good to relax and not worry about anything for a while. I took a week off of work to focus on a lot of things even though Adeline didn't want me to.

I told her I didn't want her to be here alone.

She was caressing my cheek as I had my eyes closed, enjoying her touch and I smiled. It was a feeling I loved and she surely knew that.

"I love you."

I opened my eyes and stared at her for a moment as she was caressing my cheek with a smile on her face.

"I really do."

That made my heart pound and she pulls me to her before gently kissing me, making me kiss her back before climbing on top of her.

When I look down at her, she was smiling up at me before moving the hair from my face and tucking it behind my ear. I saw her stare at me as she gently grabs my neck, making me smile at her before leaning down and kissing her.

As we were kissing, I heard my doorbell and I leaned up to stare at Adeline. She looks towards the door before looking back at me and I climbed off of her before walking out of the room.

I walked to the front door and peeked out of the peep hole, seeing Paisley standing there. I smiled before unlocking the door and opening it before allowing her to walk inside.

I locked my door behind her.

"Where's mom?"

"In the room."

I followed her to the bedroom and Adeline smiles before pulling Paisley into a hug as she was sitting on the bed.

As they were talking, I walk to the window and look out of it before looking around. I made sure I didn't see Waylen anywhere and looked back at them as they were laughing.

Adeline wraps her arms around me and leans her chin on my shoulder. "What's wrong?" I shook my head as I stared outside before turning towards her.

I cup her face before bringing her close to me and kissing her gently. I felt her tighten her arms around me and I smile against her lip befpre kissing her deeper.

Then I heard someone clear their throat and when I pull back, I saw Paisley covering her eyes. I chuckle as she shook her head before removing her hands.

"Not with me around."

Adeline laughs before smiling at me and we all walk out of my room. I walk into the kitchen to make something to eat, then asked if they wanted something as well.

They were talking at the table as I was fixing us all something to eat. I look at the time on the stove and saw that it was a little after two in the afternoon, which wasn't breakfast time or lunch but I figured I could make us all a snack.

Once I was done making food, I gave them a plate and we all sat down and talked for a little while. I saw the way Adeline was smiling at Paisley as she was talking about something that happened in school.

Paisley was also smiling as she was talking to her mom, which made me smile.

I was still thinking about asking Adeline to move in with me and I knew she would probably want to but wasn't sure if it was moving too fast.

It was still a little second thinking for me cause I'm so used to being alone but having Adeline here made me feel happier and that's something I haven't felt in a long time.

Having Adeline and Paisley both here made me happy and I enjoyed every moment with them. It felt nice being around them and I caught myself smiling more cause of it.

I never knew I would want someone here with me as much as I wanted Adeline and Paisley cause I've always depended on myself to make myself happy, which all changed when they entered my life.

I knew that it was going to be a little different from now on cause of them but I wouldn't trade it for anything and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Paisley has been in my life for three years and I've grown close to her, as well as Rose. We've been through a lot and I'm always grateful for them both but in a different way that depending on them.

Adeline was the first to come in and make me fall for her, which made me realize that being independent wasn't always a good thing when you had something else missing that you never knew was missing in the first place.

Something very different but a good different.

"I need to go get more of my clothes sometime." Adeline said. "I don't want to deal with Waylen at all but I still have a lot of my things left there."

"I can go get it." I said.

She shook her head as she looks at me. "No, Kai. I don't want you near him either. I'll just figure something out."

"He won't mess with me. Plus you need your stuff and he can't do anything about it."

I saw her shake her head, but I ended up convincing her enough. I saw the look she was giving me but I smiled, knowing that Waylen wouldn't do shit to me.

The restraining order still hasn't processed through yet and it was pissing me off.

Adeline told me that if I went to get her clothes and stuff, she was coming with me. I told her it was fine and I could go while he wasn't there, get her stuff and leave.

She told me that Waylen did work all week and I was thinking about going during lunch time so he wouldn't be there and I could get all of her stuff or most of it.

Paisley was telling us how she hated Waylen and I smiled as she was talking bad about him.

"Did he really get you on alcohol?"

Adeline nods before sighing. "Unfortunately, baby. I'm sorry."

I sat there with them as she explained how everything happened so that Paisley could understand a little better, which she started realizing that Waylen was the cause of a lot of things if not everything.

It made Paisley hate him more and I watched as she started talking bad about him and Adeline was listening to her, while agreeing with her as well.

We all sat there and talked about a lot of things, making jokes and laughing. I couldn't help but smile as I listened to them talk about what they did years ago and everything that happened.

It made me wish I had a mom that was here and cared about me. Someone to share memories with and laugh, smile and cry with.

But even if I didn't have a family, I still had Rose, Paisley and Adeline and that's all I needed.
