I Could Never Forget Us

Chapter 2

--- Addy's POV ---

I climbed out of bed at a leisurely time of 1pm with plenty of time to get ready for my 2:30pm shift at the shop. After raiding my cupboards for several minutes the best I could come up with for my late breakfast was toast and I had to scrape out the jar of peanut butter in order to get a decent covering. I'd been neglecting my food shopping and my kitchen was just full of emtpy cupboards so I wrote a list of things I needed while I ate my toast. Once that was done I turned on the television to cover up the deafening silence of my apartment, having a huge living space is great but it gets awfully lonely at times so I usually have something producing sound to stop myself from going mad. Then I started getting dressed and ready for another day standing behind a counter for six hours.

The smell of coffee hit me in the face as I walked through the door, the bell jingling above my head to signal my entrance. It wasn't busy and Grace was working the same shift as me so I had someone to keep me occupied.

'Hi' Grace grinned at me as I joined her

'Hey' I tied my apron around my waist

'We're not busy so I told Hannah and Sarah to come in during their lunch break' she told me

'When will that be?' I asked

'About ten minutes' she looked at her watch 'You're late today'

'I'll get them their usuals' I grabbed two mugs to fill with my friend's orders

As expected ten minutes later the doorbell jingled again and Hannah and Sarah came in, we all sat at the table near the counter so Grace and I could serve any customers who came in. 

'I'm so tired' Hannah groaned

'You look it' I studied her tired face

'Thanks' she glared at me

'It's what you get for having a full time job and three kids' I smirked at her

'I wouldn't trade them for the world but they really get under my tits sometimes' she sighed

'Try being a single Mom' Grace said

'See Adeline and I are the smart ones here' Sarah laughed 'Except she has an amazing boyfriend'

'You're so lucky to have someone like Lucas' Grace complained

'Even I'm jealous of him and I'm married' Hannah agreed

'I've got to say he is pretty incredible' I laughed 'He's sensible charming endearing and the list goes on'

'John used to be like that' Hannah referred to her husband 'But now he's just lazy and unreliable'

'What's he done now?' I asked

'He's just always late whenever we have to be places so  I'm always waiting for him' she explained

'That's the thing with men' Grace sipped her coffee 'They say they'll call and then they don't you can't believe a word they say'

'Lucas always calls when he says he will' I was bragging slightly

'That's because he isn't human' Sarah rolled her eyes

'So have you two done the deed yet?' Grace's eyes grew wide

'No' I shook my head 'It's been two months and we've not even been close'

'I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing' Hannah mused

'I guess it's good that he respects me and stuff but still' I trailed off

'I know the feeling' Sarah smiled

We chatted and gossiped for a further half an hour until Sarah and Hannah had to get back to work and the shop started to get a little busier as people got off for lunch time. When my shift ended I said goodbye to Grace and headed to the grocery store to restock my kitchen. Most of what filled my cart was junk food, I hadn't yet mastered the art of cooking for myself so my diet had gone downhill since I left home.

A couple of hours later I was bored out of my mind so I phoned Lucas to see if he wanted to come over, he answered almost straight away and said he'd be half an hour later. That half an hour gave me time to make myself look attractive maybe then he might be a little less uptight about the sex stuff. I touched up my make up and put on a top with a lower cut and then looked at myself in the mirror.

'What are you doing?' I asked my reflection 'You're becoming a sexual demon go and get changed'

I was about to put on a different shirt when the doorbell rang and I froze torn between getting changed and making him wait or just going with it. I chose the latter option and ran to the door trying not to seem too eager.

'Hey' I smiled in what I hoped was a sexy way but probably made me look like I was having a seizure

'I brought chocolate' he held up a box

'See this is why I'm still dating you' I laughed

'I thought it was because you liked my personality' he pouted

'No I don't care about that shit' I cleared my throat remembering that Lucas wasn't a fan of swearing

'Have the first one' he ignored my last comment and held the box out to me

'Thanks' I blushed and took one

He settled back on the sofa and I cuddled into his side, the television was already on showing a film I'd been watching before he arrived. The film was boring though and even half way through it nothing exciting had happened.

'This film is awful' I sighed

'So what do you want to do?' he asked

I subtly tried to arrange the neckline on my top 'I don't mind'

'So you have no idea?' he smirked

'There're a lot of things we could do' I put my hand on his knee hoping he'd catch my drift

'I know' he nodded

'There is one thing' I smiled

'Tell me then' he laughed

'This' I leaned up and kissed him softly

Luckily he responded and kissed me back which was a start so I deepened the kiss running my tongue along his bottom lip. He let me do it and parted his lips so our tongues could meet and then he made the next move of lying us down so he was on top of me as we kissed. This was as far as we'd been in the past and I'd never tried to take it any further but I decided to be brave and moved to play with the hem of his shirt. When he didn't try to stop me I tugged at it and pulled it off him tossing it onto the floor beside us. I was so excited at the thought that maybe we were finally going to do it. I started getting more and more into it and was enjoying it until I reached for his belt buckle and he stopped me. Resisting the urge to groan I pulled back and frowned at him.

'It's getting late' he breathed

'You can stay the night if you like' I offered

'Work' he simply said

I sighed and released my arms from around him so he could get up and retrieve his shirt while I fiddled with the bottom of my own, disappointingly, still intact shirt.

'I'll see you' he leaned down to kiss me

'Bye' I put on a smile

When he was gone I banged my head against the door in frustration, it had been over two months since I'd last had any kind of sexual contact with anyone and I felt kind of embarrassed about what had just happened. Maybe it was because I swore in front of him he doesn't like that, or maybe he just really wanted an early night. He took his job very seriously and I respected him for that but I had my needs. Pouting, I picked up the box of chocolate he'd left and sat down in front of the TV to feel sorry for myself and finish watching the terrible movie.

AUTHORS NOTE: This is basically just telling you more about her life like her friends and about what Lucas is like so it's kind of a filler idek. But worry not the plot shall be progressing very soon!
