Adaptation

Chapter 11

Addie's POV

The next day I wake up and walk downstairs to see Ant sitting at the table drinking a coffee. I walk over to him and put my arms around him from behind and say "good morning dada do you want another coffee"? He looks up at me out of surprise and says "thanks baby girl I would like that thank you". I walk over and refill his cup and grab one for myself. I carry them over to the table and sit next to him; we sit there drinking our coffee in silence for a bit. I look at Ant and say "what time are we leaving to go to the Uni". He says "as soon as the other lazy bones are up as I thought we might have breakfast at a café before we go to get your work from the Uni". I nod my head and laugh at what he says.

I jump a bit when I feel 2 arms go around my shoulders and Tim says to us "who are calling lazy bones"? Ant looks up and says "you and Andy my girl and I have been up for ages". Tim laughs and kisses Ant on the head and says "yeah whatever you say babe, who was the one kept up half the night because someone was sleeping on my side of the bed". Ant looks at Tim and says "yeah right babe whatever you say I just wanted a cuddle but you didn't give me one so I had get my own from you". I laugh at them as this is what happens every morning between the 2 they pick on each other.

After we have gotten dressed we all walk out to Tim's car and make our way to a café that we go to a lot. As we walk in I see a teenage girl nearly screaming as she sees Andy walk in. She seems to overcome her fangirling pretty fast as next thing I know he is pulled away from me and she has pulled him into her arms. I go to tackle her but Andy pulls her away from him and he says "do you mind that is my girlfriend that you have pulled me away from". Just as I was about to say something Tim and Ant both turn around and Ant says to "Tim you get our daughter please I will see to this". Tim nods his head and pulls me into his arms as Ant goes up to the girl that grabbed Andy and he said to her "don't do that again or you will be in a world of hurt as my daughter has just come out of hospital and she doesn't need the likes of you trying to steal her boyfriend so please leave her alone".

The owner of the café comes up to us as we sit down and he says "hey guys haven't seen you here for a while". Tim says "yeah that is because we had a bit of a family emergency and Addie was in hospital so we spent all our time at the hospital". The owner of the café looks over at me and says "are you ok". I nod my head and Andy pulls me into his side further. Andy says "yeah she is good now and will be staying that way as I am now living in Australia so it won't be so hard on her". I can't help that smile that makes it way to my face as he says that as it's still hard to believe that he is living in Australia and not just visiting.

After we have breakfast we make our way to the Uni and Tim and Ant go to the office while Andy and I go to get all the work from my teacher. The teacher is not impressed and says to me "why have you been away all week"? I go to say to her why but Andy buts in and say "she has had a family emergency and one of her fathers has been in hospital and she was by his bedside". She scoffs and says "my class is more important than your family". Andy stands in front of me and says "I'm sorry but last time I checked family always comes first. So please just give her the work she has missed and we will be on our way and if you give her any trouble when she comes back next week and I hear about it you will regret it". She frowns at what Andy said and she says in a rather hateful tone "follow me". We follow her and she gives me all the work that I missed and she then says "oh and next week we are waxing so you better turn up for them and you will need a model". I nod my head and grab my work and leave the classroom and make our way down to the office where we meet up with Tim and Ant again.

We make our way back home after we have finished at the Uni. Tim turns to me from the passenger seat as Ant is driving and he says "so what happened when you went to get your work"? I look at him and say "the teacher was just being a bitch again, her usual". Tim looks at me as much as to say what do you mean her usual. Andy pipes up and says "she asked her why she was away this week and when Addie said a family emergency that saw one of her fathers in hospital she turned around to Addie and said that her class comes before family. So I set her straight and told her that last time I checked family came first and that if I hear that she gave her anymore trouble then she will have to deal with me". Tim has a smile on his face when Andy finished. He turns to me then and says "if she does give you more trouble let us know and we will deal with it". I nod my head and say "thanks oh and she also said that we are doing waxing next week and that I need a model". Ant looks in the rear view mirror and says "I will be your model baby girl I'm free next week". I can't help the smile that comes to my face and the laugh that I let out as Ant has always been waxed he goes every week without fail to get done. I look at him and say "thanks Dada". It means a lot to me that he would do that for me when I am only learning to do these things.

Once we get home Ant goes straight into the room that they were using as storage that is next to their office. He calls Tim in and next thing I know they are clearing all the stuff out and putting it in the spare bedroom upstairs. I ask them what they are doing and Ant says to me "I thought we could set this room up so you can do makeup or waxing. It will be like a little office for you to use. We could get all the stuff you need and bring your desk down from your room so you can now work in here from now on". I jump into his arms and say "I would love that thank you so much". He hugs me and says "its ok baby girl we want you to have your space as well". He turns to Tim and says "can you and Andy bring down her desk please while I finish up in here"? Tim nods his head and calls out to Andy who was in the kitchen making us a coffee to give him a hand.

After we have finished in my study Ant goes into their office and starts to look for things that we will need for waxing and he finds a table that I could use so he orders it. After he has done that he comes out and says to us "how about we go and get you a new chair for your study then maybe we could see a movie. We all jump up and grab our things and jump in Tim's car to go to get the chair then see a movie. Andy says to Ant while we are driving to the mall "Anthony would you mind if I took Addie to see a different movie that way you and Tim can have some privacy as I would really love to spend some quality time with my girlfriend". Ant looks around at him and says "sure but please keep an eye on her". Andy nods his head and says to me "what movie would you like to see babe". He hands me his phone that he was looking up what movies to see and I scrolled through what ones they had playing. I saw one that I would love to see love Simon. I point out the one I want to see and he says "ok we will see that". Tim looks in the rear view mirror and says "what movie are you seeing baby girl"? I turn to him and say Love Simon". Tim nods his head and looks over at Ant quickly and says "babe what one do you want to see". Ant looks at him and says "I don't really care whatever one looks good". Tim looked at him again and said "ok we will see when we get there".

We pull up to a store where we can get my desk chair which I chose as soon as I saw it. Tim looked all around and then he saw exactly the one I picked in a box. He picked up the box and him and Ant went to pay for it while I was looking at new phones with Andy. I picked one up as mine was getting a bit old and Andy said to me "babe what's wrong with your phone". I look at him and say "it's getting old and the battery is not good in it". He nods his head and says "ok let's look at getting you another one I need to know that I can contact you when I need you and I think Tim and Ant would feel the same way". I nod my head as I know that's true as so many times they have tried to ring me and my phone as well and haven't been able to get me.

We walk away from the phones and catch up to Tim and Ant at the car. We get in and go to the picture theatre where Tim drops us off so we can see our movie. Andy says to Tim can you just hang on a minute please. Tim nods his head and Andy turns to me and says "babe do you want to go and get the tickets and I will meet you at the snack bar in a little bit"? I nod my head and Andy pulls his wallet out and hands me a fifty dollar note. I take it and make my way into the movie theatre. I wait in line so I can buy the tickets.
