Everything I Didn't Say

Chapter 20

...

I slept pretty well for the first time in a while. With Adeline all wrapped up in my arms, and listening to her breathing In pair with mine, it's impossible to not enjoy this. I'm lucky I have her.

"Good morning, Luke." Addy smiles, causing me to stir.

"I'm starting to see what's so good about it." I wink.

"Do our families have anything planned for today?"

I shake my head, trying to think. "I don't think so. Not today. In fact my parents wont be home today."

"Oh really?" She plays along, letting me hover above her, and sink down to suck on the sweet skin on her neck.

"Mhm..So good." I groan.

Adeline lightly pushes me back. "Slow down there we have all day, yeah?" I nod, trying to catch my breath. Addy looks away, suddenly getting quiet.

"What is it?"

"I don't want this to just be about sex. That's not what a relationship is about. Maybe to Shelby and hell maybe even you, but that's not me."

"Of course not, Addy. I happen to have more respect for you than that. It's just your so damn beautiful and perfect. It's hard to keep my hands off of you."

"Adeline? Are you awake yet? I've made you breakfast!" Addy's mum pounds on the other side of the door.

"Shit!" I hear her curse. I make a run for the patio door, being sure to place a quick kiss on her mouth.

"I'll see you later, I love you." She nods, pushing me out the door.

I know she doesn't love me yet, but I cant help myself from letting her know I do.

~xx~

"Way to go man! Your finally tapping that!" Michael exclaims, fist bumping me.

"No. It's not like that. She's not just some piece of meat. I really care about her."

"You've never acted that way before. What about that one girl at the club the other night?" Calum ponders, making the situation worse.

"That was a piece of meat. And I can say that, she used me and left me. No joke. Plus it wasn't even anything, I was just looking for a good fuck."

"So like.. Adeline?"

"No, Mike! It wasn't like that. We weren't even together when I slept with that other girl. What was her name? Amanda I think. Anyways, I'll admit at the time, I was annoyed cause I hadn't gotten anything, so of course I went for her. It's different now. I'm with somebody I love, and I can fuck both at the same time."

"I cant believe you just said that." Ash giggles, speaking up.

*Ding Dong* The doorbell sounds. Calum pipes up and greets the love of my life. "Hey, Adeline. You boyfriend is over there." He says pointing in my direction.

Addy's face goes red as she walks in, unaware that I had told the boys. She walks over and sits next to me. Instantly, I pull her by the waist next to me, lightly kissing her cheek. "I've missed you."

"You were at my house an hour ago." She laughs. "But I missed you too."

"And that my friends is what I call a cuteness overload. I ship it so hard." Ashton laughs.

~xx~

Calum and Michael started complaining, so we all decided to go to the park. "Look!" Mike called to Calum who whined because Michael wasn't sharing.

Ashton was sitting on the bench, carefully keeping an eye on the two of them, knowing they could hurt themselves. "Have they always been that immature?" Adeline ask while snuggling against me.

"Yep." I nod, popping the 'p'.

"And to think they used to be my bullies. To think you used to be my bully."

I sigh and look away. I don't think she knows how bad it hurts me when she brings it up. "You know I'm sorry though right?"

"Of course. I forgive you. I like you a lot, Luke."

"Hey were getting closer!" I stand up, wanting her to grab my hand. "Come on."

"Where are we going?"

"On a journey."

"Luke?" Addy fake whines, tugging on my arm.

I pick her up and place on the kiddy see-saw. "Quite a journey. We don't even fit." She laughs.

"You sure do complain a lot don't cha?"

~xx~

After Mike and Cal had ran out all their energy, we trail back home. The whole way, they complained about how tired they were. "Let's have a party tomorrow." Ashton suggests.

"Here?"

"Hell no. We'll have it a Mike's."

"I'm cool with that." He shrugs. Cal nods. We all turn to Addy.

"Uh.. sure.. I mean if you want me to come."

"Don't be silly babe, of course your coming." I pull her closer making her blush by my word play.

"Well okay." She turns to me. "Your parents aren't home tonight?" I shake my head. "Can I stay over?"

"Absolutely." I kiss her forehead.

___

"Your so perfect." I pant kissing her color bone after our dirty acts.

"So are you." Adeline smirks.

"Adeline?"

"Luke?"

"I'll never let you go, I promise. Your my everything. You make me a better person everyday. I love you."

"I know you do. Never let me go, Luke, because I'm pretty sure this is turning into something real, and right I cant be without you. I never thought I'd say that."

"Good night, Addy. I'll keep my promise." She loves me. I know she does. Or at least she's finding out if I'm worth loving.
