I See You

Home Sweet Home

"Home sweet home!" Ace announced in a playful voice gesturing to his house.

I laughed along with him and hooked our arms together as we walked in. He shut the door behind me and brought me closer to him by my waist. I giggled lightly as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Maddison!! What a lovely surprise darling! I'm so glad to see you again!" Aces mother came out of the kitchen glaring at Ace.

Gabrielle pulled me from Aces grip and hugged me to her chest.

"I can't believe my own son would forbid me from seeing my other half" She feigned sadness rocking us both.

"Sorry, Gabby. I'll make it up to you by having a week full of movie marathons" I pleaded with a big smile on my face.

"And you shall!" She laughed letting me go.

"Is your dad okay with it and all?" She asked with seriousness clouding any playfulness.

"Gabby you already know he's fine with it" I giggled.

"That's good, now I'm going to cook dinner and we're going to have a movie night in the living room tonight." She squealed excitedly as she rushed off to the kitchen.

I shook my head and looked back at Ace.

"I love your mom dearly," I said with a grin.

"I know you do" Ace rolled his eyes as he wrapped his arms around my waist once more.

"We have to go get blankets and pillows" I whispered as Ace came close to my face.

"Sure" Ace nodded placing a gentle kiss behind my ear.

He unwound his arms from around me and I bolted up the steps to the closet upstairs. He yelled out for me before he started to bolt up the steps too. I tripped over the last step but made it to the second floor. His hand brushed my hip and I squealed loudly as I started to run full speed to the closet.

I opened the closet civilly and started to grab blankets from the top shelf. I heard Ace sigh in defeat behind me as he started to grab blankets too.

"So how long are you staying?" He asked as we began to walk back to the steps.

"Rest of the summer" I shrugged.

"That's delightful" Ace responded giddily as we started walking down the steps.

Gabrielle was like a teenage girl so she didn't care whatsoever with me staying for the rest of the summer. I'd like to believe she loved me like a best friend. Surely Ace didn't care either so all was good. Plus I really had no need for clothes because Gabby and I practically wore the same size and it would probably turn to be me wearing Aces t-shirts that were like 2 or 3 sizes bigger than me. They also had a washer and dryer so I was set.

I let the blankets drop on the carpeted floor as i began to fix up my spot on the couch to my liking. I then threw some blankets over my space and plopped down on their comfy couch.

"Hey guys I gotta run out real quick and Maddy's coming with me!" Gabby yelled to us as she hurried out the door.

I groaned as I pushed myself up and headed for the door. Ace grabbed my hand and pulled me back. His hand held on gently to the back of my neck as he brought me closer. His breath hit my lips before he pecked me on the lips and let me go. I shook my head with a smile on my face as I hurried out the house to the running car.

I got in and closed the door buckling myself in before looking over to Gabby.

"Awwwe were my two sweet peas sharing a cute moment" She squealed pinching my now red cheeks.

I pushed her hands away and pouted. She laughed at my reaction and pulled out the driveway heading to the farmers market in town.

"Call your dad to make sure he knows you're with me," Gabby told me.

I think this all worked out lovely because Riley only knew Gabby was a friend of mine. He never really questioned me about my friends so that's absolutely fabulous.

I took a deep breath and focused on to the road ahead of us.

Riley does not know where anyone I talked about lives.

Riley does not have a way to track me.

Riley is in the wrong.
