First Kisses Are Never Forgotten

Chapter 36

AARON

We've had a routine these past weeks, and I loved every single minute of it. A new routine where Addison sleeps in my arms and I sleep like a baby, without the nightmares. I feel safe and peaceful with her waking up cuddling me and rapping the covers around her only.

I kiss her good morning until her lips are bruised and we're both in need of air, and then shower with her. Really shower...most of the time.

I make her breakfast, which definitely doesn't derail into sex in the kitchen with whipped cream and strawberries.

Fuck I can still taste how delicious she was with them. I remember telling her "I can have deserts for every meal, Addison. Forever. As long as it's you." And then she came apart powerfully on my tongue and I ate her all up.

I got her cleaned and dressed, then we headed to training.

The team has been training hard because finals are next week and I'm proud of how well we are doing. I love my team and since I've been back I haven't gone out with them or even had them for dinner. So I invited them all one day to a big dinner at my parent's house, where abuela, Addison and I cooked the perfect meal for them.

Every piece of food was obliterated off course and the team started telling my most embarrassing stories to Addison and my family. I loved every single of it, especially how the team treats Addison. They really do seem to like her and not just as their doctor. Also Jojo was there and she left me to spend all her time with Addison.

I think she's her favorite person now. I heard her telling Addison she doesn't want to ever leave her and wants to become BFF with her and Scar, the kid is infatuated with Addison and Scar even though she just heard stories about her.

I was her favorite person, and I may miss that title, but I don't even blame the kid. Addison easily was everyone's favorite person that night. And every night.

She is my favorite person.

I also started a new project in my real estate company to find buildings that can be rebuilt into shelters for people in need of physical, mental and financial help.

I'm starting to feel like my life has a purpose now, all because of Addison.

I knew I wanted her. Needed her. I was captivated by her the moment I saw her, obsessed even. But now. I know I'm falling for her.

I want to let myself fall for her. I want her to fall for me too.

I want loving Addison to change my life, save me...I just have to let it.

I also know that loving her now will be hard for me to accept, because I want to get even better. I want to be worthy of the tranquility she has given me on the days I thought I was lost and everything was given up since that night.

No one else makes sense except Addison, she has a place in my heart no one else could ever have...she's my whole heart.

She stopped me from letting the things that hurt me turn me into a person I am not. I am getting back to the person I once was and even a better one.

As long as I have her beside me, have her listening to me in my bad moments and have her to kiss and to hold, I will be fine, because she's making me feel that there's a beautiful purpose in my broken life that I could have.

I don't want to be broken anymore. I want to be the good captain for my team, I want to be a better son and visit my family more and I want to be Addison's man.

The one who will love her forever and be worthy of her love. I want to worship her. Protect her and be hers.

As long as the sun still rises, the stars shine and the ocean flows, I will always be hers, my love for her will never cease to grow in every minute of every day.

All I need is this one chance in life. I won't let this chance slip away. I won't let Addison slip away.

One night, Addison was sleeping next to me and I thought about how I can't wait for love to destroy us, to take us to a whole new world. A world where it's just the two of us and love is the only thing keeping us alive. I was wrong to think that.

We won't be destroyed, our love will be eternal and make us happier, richer. We won in this life because we found each other.

I just hope I won't destroy her. I won't let our love or myself do that. I can't.
