I walked Addison inside with her hand held firmly in mine. I squeezed it gently before bringing us to the living room. I thought it best to at least address the first elephant in the room by introducing her to Haley.

When we walked into the living room, we were met with Haley proceeding to open up another bottle of wine. She froze when we came into view and tilted her head to the side. "What? You weren't too bothered by the last wine, it didn't seem like you'd miss a second one." She paused and set the bottle down, "Is this your girlfriend? She's gorgeous."

She took a step to us and extended her hand to Addison's. "I'm Haley, I've heard a lot of great things about you." I felt Addison hesitate for a moment before dropping my hand and taking the blonde's in hers.

"Addison, it's nice to meet you...I have not heard anything about you."

I scoffed, and Haley's mouth slipped into a grin. "I heard." They both let go of each other's hands before her eyes wandered to me. Her eyes furrowed as she gave me a look, "Why are you still shirtless?"

"That's what I'm trying to say!" Addison exclaimed while I rolled my eyes.

"Because you spilled wine all over me. Just give me a minute, let me grab something to put on." I left them both in the living room as I turned to go upstairs to my room real quick. I saw a hoodie I used earlier to drag on since I was still a sticky mess.

As I walked back down the stairs I overheard the two of them talking, which was a relief that Addison decided to not accuse Haley of anything or the prospect of standing in awkward silence.

"So, you two fucked while you were with Lily?" I heard Addison say as I quickened my steps.

"Unfortunately," Haley responded as I found them leaning against the kitchen counter. The blonde poured a glass of wine for Addison before she carefully sipped on her own.

"Unfortunately, was it that bad?" Addison gasped as she sipped.

"Oh, no," Haley shrugged, "Just fucked up. Obviously cheating involved, a couple messed up relationships, a lot of mistakes. Sex was great, I'm sure you know all about it."

"I do! Mel did this hand thing where she-"

"I'm back!" I yelled out to interrupt the conversation. I definitely did not want my ex-situationship to talk about my past and current sex life with the woman I wanted for the rest of my life. Both of their heads turned to me and I watched as Addison's started from my feet to the top of my head.

"Fuckin' hell, you even look hot in a stupid hoodie. Why do you always look like this?"

I looked down at my hoodie and let out a laugh. "Fuck, I missed you."

Her cheeks blushed a slight pink before she shook her again and looked down at her glass of wine. It was nice seeing a glimpse of Addison's banter back, but I knew that deep inside she was hurting. It's been a month since we last talked, and even then I couldn't give her what she needed at the time. On top of that, she must've had a pretty rough night with her family in order to show up at my doorstep. Did she tell her family about her sexuality? Why would they kick her out?

"Alright, I'll go to a different room. I'll leave you to it." Haley said out loud as she grabbed her glass of wine then went over to the living room to grab the computer she brought. Before she left, she looked directly at Addison, "But I would like to emphasize that 1. I am not here to get with Melanie, 2," she gestured at the big red stain on the carpet and couch, "she was topless because I legitimately fucked up her bottle of wine, and 3. Melanie invited me over to apologize to me...and she'll explain the rest." She turned to leave the room and into one of the house offices.
