We Belong Together

13.

Addison's POV:

I woke up to Steve not being right beside me I was worried. Where did he go? I shouted his name and he came running in. He had a apron on and was carrying breakfast on a tray.

Steve: "Hey hey I'm right here I just made breakfast for you. Eat in bed it's what you desvere."

Me: "Oh thank you."

Steve: "I love you I'm sorry I've been a dick."

Me: "Steve you can stop apologizing we're good. I love you so much. Come sit next to me."

Steve got in the bed next to me he put his arm around me while I ate.

Me: "You know what Dustin told me the other day?"

Steve: "Whatever the rugrat told you he's wrong."

Me: "He told me the advice you gave him. To act like you don't care because it drives girls crazy. You didn't do that to me though."

Steve: "That was awhile ago. And I couldn't you're different."

Me: "How so?"

Steve: "You're smart, funny, independent, you're strong, pretty, and you're a pretty damn good babysitter."

Me: "So are you."

Steve: "I'm not smart."

Me: "Well you chose to be with me."

Steve: "You got me there."

Me: "Except you never officially asked me to be your girlfriend Steve. I asked you what we were and you just said you're my girl. But you never officially asked me to be yours."

Steve: "I didn't?"

Me: "Nope."

Steve: "I truly am a idiot. Addison would you like to be my girlfriend even though you already live with me?"

Me: "Yeah Steve I'd love to."

Steve: "You're so funny."

Me: "I try just for you anyways I'm done I'll do the dishes."

Steve: "No no you do too much for me I'll do the dishes you stay in bed."

Me: "You better cuddle me when you're done."

Steve: "I will princess."

Steve went to do the dishes. I heard someone knock on our window. I got up and opened the curtains. It was mike. I opened the window and let him in.

Me: "Mike? Have you been crying?"

Mike: "It's Jane."

Me: "Hey hey they could be listening!"

Mike: "She's dead.... they got her."

Me: "What how?!"

Mike: "We were at my house the whole party and they shot through my window and got her in the head. It's all my fault...."

Me: "Mike it's not your fault come here."

He just came to me crying and I hugged him. Steve came in he mouthed to me "What happened?" And I mouthed back "I'll tell you later."

I took mike home and explained everything to Steve when I got back. He had a bond with Dustin and I had bond with Mike.

Steve: "You have a skill with making people feel better when they're at their worst."

Me: "Oh thanks honey I just know what it's like to loose someone you love and blame yourself for it. I mean not as bad as Mike obviously but you know I lost my dad and I didn't get a choice in the matter who I went with. I mean I'm glad I was forced to come here because I met you. It's just I miss my dad...."

Steve: "Is he still in California?"

Me: "Oh yeah he loves it there it's where he grew up."

Steve: "Why don't you and I go down there."

Me: "But Mike needs me right now."

Steve: "We'll take all the kids."

Me: "All?"

Steve: "I don't want them to feel left out."

Me: "It's just max and I will be the only girls...."

Steve: "Oh right."

Me: "Plus Lucas and Will are going to some water park this week."

Steve: "Perfect it's a win for both of us. Both of our "Kids" can come."

Me: "Ok I'll talk to miss wheeler even though she stole my ex from me.... and you'll talk to miss Henderson."

Steve: "Meet you back here in a hour."

•••At Mike's House•••

Karen: "Oh hi you're mikes friend."

Me: "Yeah I am. I was wondering if I could steal mike for a week to go visit my dad in California to get his mind off the whole situation."

Karen: "That sounds lovely. Mike! Addison's here."

Mike came down the stairs looking really sad he had every right to be.

Mike: "Hi Addy."

Me: "Wanna go see my dad in California?"

Mike: "Really?"

Me: "Really."

Mike: "Ok. Mom can I go?"

Karen: "It's ok with me."

Mike: "Thanks mom."

•••Back at home•••

Me: "What did Dustin's mom say?"

Steve: "She said yes."

Me: "Cool so did Mike's mom."

Steve: "Was it awkward?"

Me: "No because in the end I got you."

Steve: "That's so cheesy."

Me: "But you love it."

Steve: "I do. Very much."
