《What lies beneath》Chapter Nine

Addylin's POV
I wake up with strong arms around me.
I must of fell asleep through the movie Cole picked out. I turn my head and see his face relaxed and his eyes closed.
I can't believe he's my boyfriend.
He has such a hot body.
I get out of bed and slowly open the door, before heading down the hall to Cole's kitchen. I open the fridge and scowl at the emptiness. I then open the pantry, still disappointed there wasn't much food, but smiled because I saw the container of cookies I gave him. It made me smile, because it was nearly empty.
He likes my cookies.
I shut the pantry and just decide to make him and myself a cup of coffee. Once I do, head back to the bedroom and I place the coffees on his bedside table and then crawl back into bed.
I gasp as I'm suddenly, under him and am being choked. "Cole," I manage to get out. His eyes open and he immediately lets go of me. I cough, trying to regain my breath.
He gets off me and runs his fingers through his hair. "Shit, Addylin I'm so sorry."
"It's okay," I croak. "A-are you okay?"
"That doesn't matter," he says, sitting beside me. His fingers gently run across my neck. "Fuck."
"What?" I whisper.
"Your neck is bruising," he says. "I feel horrible Addylin."
"What caused you to act like that?" I ask. "Is it why you go to therapy?"
"I have nightmares," he admits. "About how I got these." He points to his face. I lift my hand and stroke his cheek. He closes his eyes breathing in. "I got kidnapped when I was sixteen."
"Y-you don't have to tell me," I say.

He nods. "I do."
"O-okay," I whisper.
"So I was kidnapped and held for two years," he explains. "They tortured me verbally and physically."
"Are they in prison?" I ask timidly.
"Some in prison, some dead," he states. "By the time I was free, nobody could touch me or I would freak out and hurt them. Ma sent me to therapy to help that. I have other scars, they are just hidden underneath all my tattoos."
"And that's why you choked me," I say.
He nods. "When people surprise me I still attack."
"I like your tattoos," I admit. "My favourite is the angel wings."
"Those don't cover anything," he says. "They are for my father."
"Why Angel wings?" I ask.
"His name was Angelo," he says.
"That's cute," I murmur.
"Have you got a tattoo?" He asks.
I blush. "Yes."
Okay it's super embarrassing, but I have a daisy on my inner thigh. I was super drunk with Jade one night and we joked that when I did finally have sex I would open like a flower.
"Where?" He asks. "Can I see it?"
"No," I whisper. "And it's on my inner thigh."
His eyes widen. "Really? What is it?"
"It's a daisy," I answer.
"For a pet named daisy?" He guesses.
I blush again. "No."
He squints his eyes. "For a boyfriend named Daisy?"
"No," I giggle. "I got it while I was drunk," I huff.
He laughs. "You? Drunk?"
"Its a rare occurrence," I mumble.
"I'd love to see that," he murmurs. He leans over and placed a soft kiss on my lips. He then sniffs. "I smell coffee."

"Oh yeah I made coffee," I mumble. "You need more food."
I get up and hand Cole his cup of coffee. He takes a sip and moans. "Fuck that's good."
"Your welcome," I say, sitting beside him.
"And for the food comment, I don't buy food, cause I can't cook," he claims. "I just buy pre-prepared food."
I scowl at him. "That's not good for your health."
He laughs and kisses my nose. "That's why I have you now."
I smile a little and sip at my coffee. "I can teach you."
"Why teach me, when you can feed me," he says, smiling.
I shake my head, giggling. "I'm not gonna be here every night."
"You could be," he says. "Maybe I want to have you over for dinner every night."
"Well maybe I have plans," I tease. He chuckles and leans over kissing me. I touch his arm and slowly add tongue, his dancing with mine. We pull away breathless and smiling.
God, Cole is so perfect!
