Cole's POV
"No," Addylin giggles, as she serves our takeout onto plates. "You cannot put ketchup on ice cream."
"Just hear me out," I say. "You can't knock it till you try it."
"I am not trying it," she says. She walks over and sits beside me on the couch, crossing her legs.
We eat in silence and occasionally I see Addylin looking at me. I know she doesn't want me to see her looking, so I don't comment.
Once I'm finish I stand up and go over to the sink, washing my plate. I hear Addylin's phone ring and then it stops.
"Hi Jade," I head Addylin say. "I'm at Cole's why?" I walk back over and sit beside her. "Jade I'm fine, we are just eating dinner." I roll my eyes and stand back up, going over to my art panel and starting on Addylin's hair. "Yes Jade I'm coming home." I chuckle a little. "I don't know, late." Late? "Goodbye Jade." She hangs up and then continues eating her dinner.
"How's Jade?" I ask, sweetly.
"She was just wondering where I was," Addylin mumbles. "I didn't tell her I was coming here today."
"Why?" I ask, stopping my painting.
"Jade doesn't like you," she admits. "S-she s-says y-your a-a-"
"Hey," I say softly, quickly standing up and going over to her, when I realise she's on the bridge of a panic attack. "You don't have to tell me, just breathe for me Addylin."
She breathes in and out, staring intently into my eyes. She bites her bottom lip in distress. "She's says your a monster," she mumbles, looking away.
Pain erupts into my chest, and I quickly rub it away. "Do you think I'm a monster?" I ask, almost whispering.

Her eyes come back to me and brim with tears. "No."
"Don't cry," I say, wiping them away. "I don't want you crying for me."
"You don't deserve to be treated that way," she croaks. "Y-your such an amazing guy."
I smile. "Thank you."
"Jade doesn't know you like I do," Addylin says. "Your the nicest guy I've ever met."
"Jade doesn't want to get to know me," I state.
"She needs to," Addylin whines. "How are we suppose to work, if my best friend doesn't like you?"
"There's a we?" I question.
Her cheeks turn dark red. "I just thought since you k-kissed me, that we were a thing."
I smile down at her. "I do like you," I say. "But if Jade not liking me is a problem should we pursue it."
"I like you too," Addylin says. "And I don't care about the fact that she doesn't like you, I just wish that she will try and be nice to your face and then she can talk shit behind your back."
I laugh. "I don't think I really want her talking shit behind my back."
"Well that's too late cause she already does that," Addylin blurts out.
"What does she say?" I ask.
"The monster one was the worse," she states. "Then she said she didn't trust you and then said that you were only with me, because you thought I was easy and once you sleep with me you will dump me and-" I cover her mouth with my hand and her eyes widen in surprise.
"I will never do that to you," I growl. "I know your wishes to wait till marriage and I'm okay with that. I would never force you to do anything, you didn't want to do."

I take my hand away from her mouth and I nearly flinch in surprise when she softly placed her lips against mine. I grab the back of her head and deepen the kiss. She moans softly and her right hand grips my shoulder. I slowly pull away and her eyes flutter open. "That was nice," she whispers. I now realise she was perched on her knees, leaning over to me. She giggles when I pull her into my lap to make her more comfortable.
"I want to be with you," I say.
"Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" She questions. I nod. "O-okay."
"Okay," I murmur. "Wanna watch a movie?"
"On what?" She asks.
"I have a tv in my bedroom," I answer.
"Why not out here?" She asks, as I get her off me, take her hand and lead her into my bedroom.
"I paint out there," I state. "I don't like distractions."
She nods. "C-can I pick the movie?"
"Sure," I answer. "I have Netflix."
I give her the remote and she picks legally blonde, before we cuddle in my bed.
This is awesome.
