(16) Getting Back On The Right Track

~ Addison POV ~

It's been a month since she shot her brother and she's is slowly recovering. She still goes into work even though her boss and I tell her that she doesn't need to.

Her mom decided to move to Miami and relax for once. Kayla and I thought that it was a good idea that we even paid for her little apartment over there. She told us we could visit whenever.

Currently it is Saturday and Kayla is still sleeping upstairs. I'm downstairs in the kitchen preparing dinner. I decided to make her favorite childhood gumbo. Her mom gave me the recipe.

I finished the gumbo and I just turned the rice off. I make two plates for the both of us with a glass of her favorite wine. I even went a little extra and put down some rose petals around the plate.

I take a picture and post it on my instagram page with the caption "When your girl needs something to cheer her up ❤️ luv you peanut"

As soon as I post it, her mom likes it and comments "Awe look at my son in law treating my daughter 🤗". I laugh at her comment and like it. I put my phone down and make my way into our bedroom.

Oh yeah I kinda forgot to mention I moved in with Kayla. Whoops, it must have slipped my mind.

Anyways, I walk in and there she is. Spread across the bed like a starfish. Her braids was all over the place and her bonnet was on the floor beside the bed. Her face was shoved into the pillow and drool was hanging from the side of her mouth.

I chuckle at the sight and silently take a photo of her. The room was bright enough for me not to have to put the flash on. I put my phone in my back pocket and sit down beside her and move the braids out of her face.

"Baby wake up, I made dinner." I whisper next to her ear before pecking her cheek. She stirs in her sleep and smiles before opening her eyes.

She flips onto her back and brings my head to hers and pecks my lips. I smile and pull away to look down at her beautiful face.

"You cooked dinner for me?" She softly asks.

I smile and nod my head yes. "Yes I did my beautiful peanut now let's go eat before it gets cold." I say before getting up and picking her up. She squeals and wraps her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck.

She chuckles in my neck and lays her head on my shoulder. I carry her downstairs and place her down so she could see for herself.

The sight in front of me wanted me to break down. My childhood food was surrounded by beautiful rose petals and candles. A tear slips down my face from the view and my lip quivers.

I look up at Addy and he has a confused look on his face. "Do you not like it? I went too far didn't I? I'm sorry baby, I just wanted you to have a relaxing day. You need it more than anything."

I run into his arms and jump onto him. He catches me and holds me as I cry in his neck. I then pull back and look at him. "I love it. I love you. Thank you so much. How did you find out my mom's recipe?"

He smiles and wipes away my tears. "She gave it to me before she went to Miami." I kiss him and he kisses me back. We smile at each other and he places me down.

The rest of the night was great. After dinner, which was absolutely delicious, we changed into pjs and watched Netflix in our bed. I was cuddled into his side and he had is arm wrapped around me.

I felt him staring at me and I smile up at him. "What?" I chuckle out. He rubs my cheek and just stares at me for a quick minute.

"I love you so much. I never thought that I would find the one, but here you are. Shit, where have you been hiding all my life?" He says.

That instantly made me feel a little hurt. "I was always there Addison, it's just that you didn't notice me." I softly say with my head down trying not to cry.

~ Addison POV ~

Shit why would I ever mention that? Now I got her feeling bad. I lifted her head up so she can look up at me and I wipe the tear that escapes her eye.

"I'm so stupid and dumb to not notice you were right there in front of me. But now that I have, you seem to be the only thing I want to look at." I softly say.

She smiles and holds my hand. "That was really cheesy." She jokes. I smile at her and give her a quick peck on the lips. "I know but it's the truth. I love you."

She smiles and cuddles into me more before saying the four words I love to hear leave her lips. "I love you too."

I turned everything off and I pulled the covers over us as we lay down. I grab her waist and have her front facing mine. I peck her forehead and I hear her little giggles. "Good night peanut."

"Good night Addy." Was the last thing I heard before I fall into the darkness.

{Next morning}

~ Kayla POV ~

I wake up to the sunlight coming through the balcony door. I was getting ready to get up until I looked at Addison sleeping peacefully. I smile at him and just stare.

His hair is all over the place, but it makes him look 10x sexier. It gives him more of the bad boy vibe. I peck his lips before moving his big arm and quietly getting out of bed.

I head straight into the shower and wash my body. After I finished, I did my daily routine and put on my robe after. I take my braids out of the bonnet and I let the braids fall down my back.

I smile in the mirror and I decide to take some mirror photos and some selfies. After I finished with my so call photo shoot, I walk out of the bathroom and Addy is still knocked out.
I chuckle softly and I walk into the closet.

I decided to wear a big grey sweater with some high waist blue jeans. I decide to wear my high black boots. After getting dressed, I quickly pecked Addy's head and write a little note saying that I'm going to the store.

I put the note on the night stand next to him and quietly leave the room without waking him up. I grab my keys and get into my car. The drive to the store isn't that far and I only needed a little bit of things.

I pull into the supermarket parking lot and I park close to the entrance. I grab my wallet and keys and lock the doors before walking in. I grab a basket and walk inside.

The store itself is huge and full of foods you barely find in regular supermarkets. They have star fruit and even pomegranate. And the prices aren't extreme so I always come here.

I walk through the vegetables and grab some green beans and some cabbage. Then I start waking to the meats and I find a pack of steaks for $5.00. See what I mean by they don't have extreme prices? And they're not spoiled or bad either. Fresh and delicious.

I grab it and head into the junk foods. I was getting ready to grab a bag of chips until I hear a familiar voice close. I walk around and try to find the voice and when I find the person I freeze.

No, this can't be....... That's impossible. The baby that was in the shopping cart was smiling at me and that's when a tear slides down my face. She turns around and gasps when she sees me.

I walk closer until we were face-to-face and I breath out. She starts tearing up as well and her lip quivers. I couldn't find the words to speak and when I do, I only say one thing.

"Crystal?"
