I finally arrived at my apartment. I just wanted to be alone. Yes I always enjoy being with carter, but right now I needed time to think.

Life has just been so peachy for me wow. I start a new job, nearly get stabbed to death, other things start to scare me, my so called "father" just shows up and interrogates me, I'm just done. The world needs to stop testifying against me and let me live my life.

I lay on the couch face-down and re-evaluate my life. Life is just hard these days I guess.

As I lay there, I hear a loud knock on the door. Not in the best of moods to open the door, I continue laying there. Then I hear another knock, and another and another, so in and so on.

Never get a break do I? I kick of my heels and drag my weight over to the door. A heavy breathing is heard through the door, so I take a look through the peep hole.

"Carter?" His name floats out of my lungs in a breathy tone as I open the door.

"Mads, can I come in?" I blush at his attempt of a nickname. It's not my first choice but he gave me the nickname so I guess I have no choice but to like it.

"Yeah sure! And Mads? Really?" He gives me a slightly offended glare but we laughed it off and I closed the door.

"So why are you here! Don't take me the wrong way, I don't mind, just curious."

He pulls out a medium sized box and plops it in the couch. Taking a little peek inside, I see what seems to be many, many envelopes.

"I've been receiving these letters and I think you should know." At first I'm confused. Why would I care about some letters he got.

That's when I saw the mailing address. It was the address to my old house where we lived when I was just a baby. Most people would never remember their house from when they were a baby like that, but I remember it because my mom would drive me there and go inside for a few minutes and usually come out crying or with an envelope with cash in it.

I frantically ripped open the first letter I saw and read it. The the next one, and the one after that, until I had gone through the whole box.

All of them were saying things along the lines of 'don't go near my girl Madelyn she's mine' or 'if you go near her you'll see an end soon' but all of them had variation of some sort.

"Mads, do you know who wrote these?"

I stayed silent with a flabbergasted look upon my face. Sitting there, motionless trying to put my finger on who could've possibly taken the time to write these. But then a face flashed across my mind. David.

"Sorry. I-I have to g-go." I fumbled around looking for my keys and I bolted out of my apartment and down the stairs.

"Hey wait up! Where are you going"

I'm determined to keep going but something grasped my arm and forced me back. My body was met with carter's.

"Madelyn where do you think you're going?"

"My dad. I need to go confront him. I need him to leave me alone. I need him to leave you alone."

"You said your dad passed away."

I took a deep breath re-gained the only sense I had left in me just to explain to him what had happened earlier that day.

"I went out to the cafe today. There was a strange man and he claimed He was my dad. I didn't believe him but his story, it seemed like he was telling the truth. Then he pulled a picture out of his wallet. The picture was of me and my mom when I was just a baby."

"Okay? Did this man say what his name was?"

"Yeah. David. Same as the name at the end of the letter."

"Shit. I can't believe this. What else did he tell you?"

"He basically admitted to forgetting about me for 22 years and just recently remembering that he had a child."

"So were you going to see him?"

"Yeah the mailing address was from my old house. I only remember my old house because we lived there when I was a baby but moved, but my mom would always take me there and leave me in the car. She would come out a few minutes later, crying or with an envelope with cash in it."

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you wonder off like that to see a man that says he's your father. What if wasn't your dad and just wanted to hurt you?"

"I know, I know."

"Mads, I love you. I don't how I could live if something ever happened to you. Sounds cheesy as hell but it's true."

"I love you too. And I know if something happened to me, you would be crushed and I can't have that. I want the best for you always. I never want you to be hurt."

"I'm not the one you have to worry about, love. Sometimes you just need to worry about yourself sometimes."

Our faces were now only a couple inches away from each other. I looked into his deep beautiful eyes. He leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips.

My palms rested on his cheeks and his left hand met my waist. Minutes later I was pushed against the brick wall as our tongues fought for dominance.

I wrapped my legs against his waist and he carried me upstairs to my apartment. We barged through the door, ready for battle with each other.

He laid me down on the bed and raised his hand up.

"I'll be right back babe." He rushed it of the room and closed the front door and came back.

He hovered over me and crashed his lips on mine. I pulled my shirt of and he did the same.

His soft hands traced my sides and made their way to my butt. I unbuckled his belt and started to pull off his jeans and he got the memo and helped me in the process.

His lips were warm on my cold skin as he kissed from my jaw to my neck. A chill went down my spine as he sucked on the sweet part of my neck.

In minutes we were both fully unclothed, skin to skin, body to body, almost fully intimate. He pulled a way from our kiss and gave me a concerned look.

"Is this okay with you?" He was asking for my consent. I appreciate his decency.

I nodded my head. He knew I wanted this. More importantly, I knew I wanted this. I was ready. I was ready to lose my purity to the man I want to be with for the rest of my life.

A/N I know I haven't updated in a long long long time but I think I'm finally in the mood to start writing again. Things have been happening in my life lately, and I haven't been able to write. I've been having a hard time and I hope you guys understand! Sorry and thank you for reading!
