Daire Pov-

Today was our last day at the lake house and I couldn't be happier to go home. Since Christmas Willow has been distant. She was getting better after the incident at that frat party and all that process went down the drain as soon as her psycho mom returned.

Every time someone tried to talk to her she only give them one-word answers or did not answer at all. I would always catch her lost in her own thoughts or just in a daze but as soon as I made physical contact with her she'll be out of it. She also became a lot more snuggly and touchy lately. It felt as if she couldn't go a minute without some type of body part touching mine and I never complain about it especially since sex is all she wanted to do lately.

At the moment I was watching Willow get dressed. As she did she kept rambling on about this new movie she had seen the night before. I wasn't really listening to what she was saying I was just enjoying her happy cheery voice again as she excitedly explained the movie plot.

"And then they end up going their separate ways can you believe it," She said as she puts a bra on. I couldn't help but shift my eyes down to her perfect chest. "Then they both end up marrying other people, and I was really angry about that," She crossed her arms and shakes her head. "It's unbelievable."

"It really is," I mumble licking my lip.

"Anyways I haven't finished the movie because I fell asleep but I'm planning on finishing it with you tonight," She said putting on her shirt. I smile at her and nod my head. "I would love that, baby," I said watching as she pace around the room.

"Where is my new necklace you got me?" She asked biting her lip as she looks around.

She smiles when she notices it on the bedside table. "There it is," She said picking it up and putting it on her neck. She turns to me and smiles. "How do I look?"

"You look so beautiful, Bud," I said looking her over.

She blushes and smiles at me. "Okay, you have to get dressed now," She mumbles as she takes some clothes out of my suitcase. She hands me the clothes with a smile and sits on the bed and crosses his legs. "Go on," She says to me.

I roll my eyes but smile at her as I undress.

She talks my ear off about a large fish she saw in the lake and how she was craving vanilla icing. I couldn't help but smile at her very talkative manner this morning. But I was happy that she was happy.

"And maybe when we get home we can go to the park," She said biting her lip. She runs her hand through her hair. "Can you put my hair in a bun?" Willow asked. I slip on my pants and smile at her. "Yeah," I mumble zipping my zipper.

When I finish getting dressed I look at Willow who was staring back at me. I raise an eyebrow at her in question. "What?" I look down at my clothes. "Do I look weird?" I asked her. She shakes her head and smiles at me. "You look nice, very hot," She said nearly drooling over me.

"I literally wear these clothes every other day," I said to her.

She shrugs her shoulders. "You always look good in your clothes," She mumbles her face turning red. I chuckle at her response and walk over to her. "You always look good in your clothes too," I said grabbing her hair and wrapping it in a messy bun on top of her head.

When I finish I kiss her forehead and look at her with a smile. "Thank you, Darry," She said biting her lip. I grab her hand and pull her to her feet. "Come on we got to start packing," I said pushing her a bit towards her purple suitcase on the floor. She nods her head and starts picking up the clothes that were tossed to the ground.

I walk over to the black suitcase that Carter had let me borrow and open it. I begin to also pick up some clothes that were thrown on the ground. I don't try to neatly put the clothes in the suitcase because I could care less how neatly my clothes were. I look over to Willow and see her neatly folding her clothes in the suitcase.

I shake my head with a smile as I look to continue to put away my clothes.

A bark comes from the door and I look over to see Betty. She barks at Willow and happily wags her tail. Willow smiles and pats the spot next to her. The dog barked again and slowly walks over to her and lays down. "Such a good girl," Willow said hugging the dog's neck.

"Maybe when we get our own place to stay I can get you another dog," I said looking at her with soft eyes.

Willow and I have been talking about our future together since we begin dating. We have a few ideas about our future together but know the route we're gonna take. But we know that no matter the outcome of our future, we'll be together no matter what.

"Yeah, but Becky has to live forever," She said petting the dog.

I smile at her as I continue packing. I close the suitcase and look at Willow who wasn't nearly finished. I chuckle and take my suitcase downstairs where Steph was as he packs most of the Christmas presents away. He looks up at me and smiles. "Hello Daire," He said. I nod my head in his direction before walking out of the house.

I put my suitcase in the trunk next to the other luggage in here. I walk back inside the house and to Willow's room.

When I walk in she was still peacefully packing her bag. I smile and sit down next to her and help her. "At this rate, baby, we won't be able to leave today," I chuckle. "If I knew it was going to take this long I would have started packing last night."

"My clothes need to neatly be placed away," She said biting her lips. "And anyway I'm almost finished." She mumbles with a frown. I smirk at her cuteness. "Yeah, but why pack all these clothes I didn't even see you wear have of them," I said picking up a red blouse she hadn't worn this entire trip. "I like to have opinions."

For the next 10 minutes, we continue to pack in silence. I enjoyed the silence and the occasional humming coming from Willow. Once we were finished I closed Willow's stuffed suitcase. I smile at Willow and take her hand and lead her downstairs.

I drag the suitcase behind us as we walk downstairs hand in hand.

"Hey let me help you with that," Graham said taking Willow's purple suitcase. He takes it with a smile and walks outside.

"Wanna have some lunch?" I asked Willow as I walk us to the kitchen.

I sit Willow down on the barstool and walk over to the fridge. I take out a container that had cold beef stroganoff. "Want some?" I asked holding up the leftovers. "I'm not really in the mood for hamburger helper." She said biting her. "Do we have any salmon?" She asked.

I place the container on the counter since I was planning on eating that myself. I open the fridge to see some salmon. I take out the package and smile at her. "I'll cook some for you," I said opening the package. I take out the red pan from the cupboard and place it on the stove and begin cooking Willow's salmon.

I step away from the salmon for a sec and grab my beef stroganoff and place it in a plastic bowl and put it in the microwave. I go back to the stove and finish cooking Willow's salmon. Once I was finished I grab a plate and place her salmon on with mayonnaise.

She smiles at me and takes her fork as I place the plate in front of her. I walk over and take my food out of the microwave. I grab a fork and walk over to Willow and we eat in silence.

After a bit, Carter walks into the kitchen with Betty on her leash. He looks up from his phone and nods at us. "Clean those plates were leaving in 5," He said turning and pulling on Betty's leash.

I finish eating my food quickly and walk over to the sink. I look over at Willow who was just finishing her lunch. She jumps down from her stool and places the dirty plate in the sink. I turn on the sink and begin washing the dirty dishes. I dry them and put them in the cupboard.

I take Willow's hand and walk her outside.

Graham was busy putting his grill in the trunk. Carter and Levi were both already in the car on their phones. Carter sat in his own car with Steph in the driver's seat and Levi seated in Graham's car. I look at Willow and tuck some hair that's fallen out of the bun behind her ear. "Which car are we going in?" I asked her. She tightens her hand around mine. She looks around conflicting with who she wanted to spend 3 to 4 hours with. "Um, maybe Carter and uncle Steph," She said biting her lip. I nod my head and walk her over to Carter's car.

Once she was in and buckled up I shut her door and walk over to Graham.

"Graham," I said stopping in front of him. He looks up at me for a second before looking back down at his car. "Yeah?" He asked. He looks around me and frowns. "Go inside and tell Willow, we're leaving in 2 minutes," He said. I sigh and look over to Carter's car. "She's actually riding with Carter and Steph," I said looking down at my feet. Graham stops what he was doing and looks at me with a deep frown. "She is?" He asked. I nod my head and stuff my hands in my pocket. "Well that's fine we're going to the same place," He mumbles. "More room for the cat," He shrugs. I nod my head and turn to walk away.

I get into the car next to Willow. I wrap my arm around her shoulder and she lays her head down on mine. I lean over to her head and whisper in her ear, "We're going to fuck so hard when we get home." I bite her earlobe as she blushes.

I adjust my pants that were getting tight around my groin. This is going to be a long ride.
