c h a p t e r 9

Addison's point of view
I wake up and I check the time. It's 9 am, and Bry is still sound asleep in bed. He is so cute and peaceful when he sleeps, that I don't wanna wake him up. But knowing him he'll sleep through the day if I don't wake him now.

So I try to wake him up, but nothing works. I shake him, pour water on his face, and even jumped on him but he was still snoring under the covers. Damn, this boy could sleep through an earthquake!

I have one last option that I think of and I soon think I might regret it but I cannot think of anything else so I lye back down in bed, get really close to his face, and kiss his lips.

I pull away, and I see his eyes flutter open. I smile, as I turn to get up and change he takes his arm and grabs my waist, pulling me into his warm, muscular body, and I do not move.

I feel his arms wrap around me, cuddling me into his chest. I do not refuse and put my head on his heart. I hear it's beats, and it makes me drift off to sleep again.

I fight with all my might to stay awake, but his warmth and his steady heartbeat takes me over as I wrap my arms around him, falling asleep in his arms.
Bryce's point of view
I am in my dream state when I feel soft plump lips touch mine, colliding with passion.

I cross my fingers and I hope it's Addi, not one of my dumbass friends attempting to wake me up, when they know I will just go back to bed and flip them off.

I open my eyes and I see Addi, really close to my face, the dimmed lights dancing in her coffee brown eyes, and I want her. I want her so much she cannot even begin to understand.

Yes, we only met yesterday but there is something about this girl that has me attracted to her. I don't want her to leave. Not right now, not in this moment.

I notice her turning as she begins to walk away and I really don't want to face the day right now. So I swing my arm around her waist and I pull her into my body.

Holy damn she is cold! I let my warmth go onto her body, warming her up so that she shivers. I wrap my arms around her, giving her a safe secure feeling that she is safe with me, right here in this moment.

She cuddles her head into my chest, wrapping her arms around my body, making me nervous. I place my head on hers as I fall asleep, with the assurance that I will wake up again, with her in my arms.

Bryce's point of view
I wake up again, and I panic as I think of Addi, leaving my side. I then look down to see that she is still in my arms sleeping peacefully.

I try to get up to start the day but she pulls me back into bed, and I go with the flow. This girl really got me acting crazy.

After 5 minutes go by I realize that we should begin the day before it's all over. I give her forehead a kiss as she wakes up, smile on her face as usual.

"Good morning princess" I say as I look down at her. "Morning Bry" she says, her voice growing tired. I pull her out of bed and tell her to get changed.

"Go change" I say, and a few seconds later she's out, her natural look with a crop top and jean shorts. I walk up to her and my hands explore her body.

"Bry...." Addi says as she looks up at me. "Yeah?" I say looking in her coffee brown eyes again. "We need to talk later" she says, removing my hands from her body.

" I like you, but I want to discuss where we are going" She was right. My heart dropped but she was right. I want this to go somewhere and I hope she feels that it is too.

So I open the door and bow to Addi. "After you princess" I say as I see her roll her eyes. She walks towards the door, still tired and longing for the bed.

But I had forgot that some members of the hype house were coming over, and I am already late for meeting them.

So I asked if she wanted a ride downstairs. I know she didn't want to be hypocritical from what she had said before but her eyes were saying yes, and so were her slumped shoulders.

She finally nodded as she jumped on my back and we got downstairs.
Addison's point of view
I was still so tired and I longed to cuddle in bed with Bry. But I didn't want this relationship to be based on lust. Not like my relationship with Tony.

I wanted something special because I knew Bry was special. But I was too tired to walk down and stairs so I nodded when he offered to carry me down.

I jump on his back and I hear noise coming from downstairs. I didn't know people were downstairs. It felt rude coming in here unannounced late at night but they were so welcoming and it felt like I belong.

So tonight was the night I asked them all if I can move in. I know I only slept here and talked to the girls once, but it felt like home, and I would get more time with Bry, so I can really explore him.

As we arrive downstairs I get off his back and we walk into the kitchen and Bry introduces me to the Lopez brothers.

They turn and I automatically recognize one. Tony. I begin to tear up as he reaches in for a hug and run upstairs in fear, tears streaming down my face.
