"Good morning boyfriend" I smiled as I woke up to Addison cuddling me and playing with my hair as I slept. I wrapped my arms around her to be able to hug her and leave a kiss on her neck "Mhm.. Goodmorning girlfriend." I said as I caressed her butt underneath my shirt which was the only thing she slept in last night.

"You look so good in my shirt and my shirt only."

I whispered in her ear as I continued to kiss her neck and let my hand move from her butt, up to her breasts.

"Mhm.. As much as I'd love to.. I have a photo shoot this morning." I heard Addison say as she pulled away slightly. I frowned in defeat as I laid back on my back.

She laughed at how dramatic I was being as she rested her hand on my bare abdomen. "But you could shower with me." She said as she winked and stood up from bed looking so sexy.. how could I resist.

She looked at her phone, answering some emails as I checked my phone for any messages from Jamie. Marissa had brought Izzy home last night from the ER, but Jamie hadn't answered my message as to how she was doing, typical.

"Wait babe, I was actually wondering.. since you're officially my boyfriend now and all, do you want to come to a wedding with me next month?" She asked with her cute little pout and sparkling eyes so I couldn't resist. But when she told me the exact date, I knew I had to.. it was my court date.

"I would love for you to be my date though.. is there any way Josh could go on this trip??" She begged, looking visibly upset that I wouldn't be able to join her. But this wasn't something I could reschedule.. I had been waiting months for this date. Of course the wedding would be the exact week.

"I'm sorry Addison, this one is an important one-"

"They all are apparently.. so important that Josh doesn't have to go but you do, to all of them." She said as she grabbed her towel and headed to the bathroom, to shower alone. That was a way to piss off your girlfriend..

I groaned as I threw myself back into bed. If only she could understand.. but I couldn't blame her for not understanding.. she had no idea it was my court date. But I just had to roll with the punches with this one.. she would be reminding me how terrible of a boyfriend I was for the next month.

"I know you're sad baby girl, but you have Amy's birthday today right?? That's fun." I said to Izzy who was visibly upset that her grandma had been hospitalized. This wasn't the first time she had to be hospitalized, but it didn't make it any better. Izzy was old enough to know her grandmother wasn't doing well. Her biggest fear was her grandmother being taken away and not coming back home.. and that unfortunately was a real fear.

Today was her best friends birthday though, something she had been looking forward to. Jamie would be taking her, something I hoped that made her feel better too as it couldn't be easy seeing your mother in such a bad condition.

"Yeah daddy.. when are you coming to visit?" She asked me, a question that always broke my heart. It wasn't as easy as getting in a car and just driving over unfortunately.

"As soon as I can baby.." I promised her as Jamie walked over to her, telling her it's time to go.

I blew her a kiss as she waved goodbye and told me she loved me. "I love you more.." I said before the call ended.

"She's cute.." I heard Mads say who stood next to me behind the couch I was sitting on. "I'm sorry.. I couldn't resist, I had to see what little Bryce looked like." She said as she smiled. I waved her over to sit next to me so I could show her more pictures of Izzy.

"She looks just like you.." She said as she was right, Izzy had my exact smile and eyes. "Wait till you meet her, she has my personality too." I said, smiling just thinking about her. She was a joker, always loved sharing her cheeky jokes that she learned in school.

"I would love to meet her Bryce, I'm sure she's perfect." She said as she gave me back my phone. I'd love for Mads to meet her some day too, hopefully soon when I finally have her here with me in L.A.

"Addi texted you.. I'm sure she's not exactly your biggest fan right now as I'm her plus one to the wedding next month." She said as I sighed, I felt bad not being able to join her, but she would understand if she knew. Court wasn't something I could skip out on.. this was important for Izzy.

I don't forgive you, but I miss you, come over.. we can stay in and make dinner.

"You're going to Maryland, I'm guessing?" Mads asked as I looked back up from my phone. I nodded, as I forgot I hadn't filled her in on my life. I told her about Jamie, and our custody battle.. how draining it has all been, but I was so looking forward to it finally being over. Not that the goal was to keep Izzy away from Jamie, but I knew she'd be safer and better taken care of if she was with me.

"Wow Bryce.. I wouldn't never guessed you were going through any of this, you're strong, not that you don't already know that. But your little girl is lucky to have you, and Addison will one day understand." God I really hope so.. because I could really picture her being the one. And I knew how great she would be with Izzy. I just had to be completely sure of it before introducing her.

"..but you need to tell her soon. If you wait too long, she may not take it the best way. She is going to be hurt regardless because you kept it from her, but waiting too long could be terrible." I knew she was right.. but it was easier said than done. I knew she would hate me whether I told her tonight or in two months.. I couldn't imagine someone keeping something like this from me. But this was important to me..

I sighed as I spoke to Mads for a little longer before excusing myself. I called Addison, letting her know I was heading over. I had a lot of making up to do.. so when the guys asked me to go to a party tonight, I had to decline. I'd be spending the night in with Addison instead.

I'm still upset, very upset about Bryce. I feel like he isn't being fully honest with me, as if he's hiding something from me. I'm trying to be patient, I'm trying so hard, but he makes it difficult. The more space I give him, I get scared that we'll just drift apart... but for now, I don't want to push him too hard.

I still missed him, so I invited him over for dinner tonight because I wanted to see him. I told him we could cook dinner and stay in. So I put on my favorite apron and just that.. I was completely naked under it. I would be teasing him tonight but wouldn't give in.. I believed in myself, I could and would be strong.

I got dinner ready as I brought out vegetables and meat to cook tonight. As I did, I heard the doorbell. I walked over, hiding myself behind the door to not reveal my surprise just yet. He smiled at me innocently as he showed me the bouquet of flowers he bought me and wine.

"I'm sorry, I know I suck.. I'm sorry." he said repeatedly as he gave me his forgiving puppy eyes. I couldn't resist as I opened the door further, so he knew he was welcome into my home. I started to feel slightly bad about my devious plan and as if I wouldn't be staying strong tonight..

"Addi.." he said in shock as he turned around and saw me, his eyes not knowing where to gaze first. He walked towards me, his hands also not knowing where to land first.. but finally going straight for my ass.

I smirked as I kissed his neck. "You can look.. but not touch.." I whispered as I pulled away.

"Oh.. I see what you're doing, this is payback, well deserved payback." He said as he began to strip. My eyes widened, "Bryce!!" I yelled, but it was too late.

"Too bad I forgot my apron at home.." He teased. I was in trouble.
