Addylin's POV

I sit down next to Sasha who's face beams at the sight of me. "Hello," she chirps. "How are you?"

"I feel like shit," I mutter.

"What's wrong?" She asks.

"Me and my boyfriend are fighting," I murmur. Is he even my boyfriend anymore?

"Oh no," Sasha says. "You and Cole sounded so happy though?"

"He doesn't like the fact that I want to wait till marriage," I say.

"Cole doesn't seem like someone to do that," Sasha says. "I mean your christian so-"

"No I'm an atheist," I state.

Her eyes widen in surprise. "So why are you waiting till marriage?"

"Personal belief," I answer. "I dont trust someone till I'm standing in front of them in a weeding dress."

She frowns. "Um Addylin, how are you going to be with someone if you don't trust them?"

I let out a frustrated huff. "That's what Cole said."

"I'm sorry sweetie, but I think your in the wrong here," Sasha claims. "Cole doesn't want to be just someone. He's your boyfriend and expects you to trust him."

"I just can't," I whisper.

"You know what I think you should do?" Sasha questions.

"No what?" I ask.

She smiles and stands up as the bus stops. "You should trust him and never let him go," she says. "Cause men like that aren't easy to find."

She gets off the bus and I sit there dumbfounded.

It's like a light suddenly appeared in my mind. I sudden vision of some kind. I can trust Cole. I can trust him with everything.

I see myself marrying him.

"Stop the bus," I yell out. The bus comes to a sudden halt and I quickly get off. My legs pump underneath me, as I ran.

I ran to him.

I bang on the door and impatiently wait for him to answer. The door opens and my heart rate picks up, as I come face to face with Cole. "Addylin," he whispers.

"I love you," I blurt out.

"Addy-"

"I trust you," I say. "With everything."

"You didn't stutter," he whispers.

"Because I'm telling the truth," I murmur. I moan in surprise, when Cole kisses me. He pushes me up against the doorframe, as his tongue, enters my mouth. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer, if possible.

He pulls away, our foreheads still touching. "I love you too, Addylin."

"Thank fuck," I whisper.

He laughs. "God I missed you."

"I missed you too," I murmur.

"Let's go inside," he suggests. I nod and he pulls away, but takes my hand in his. He pulls me inside, and onto the couch, where I sit in his lap.

We make out for what seems like hours, my hands in his hair and his on my ass. Bruises scattered my neck as Cole continuously sucked on the skin.

Why did I let this man go?

*

I wake up, groggily wiping my eyes, as I sit up. Cole slept beside me, his hair ruffled, and his arm over me. I pick it up and gently place it beside me. I frown as I notice bruising on his knuckles.

Who did Cole hit?

I shake my head and get up, going into Cole's bathroom and brushing my teeth. I lean down and spit and when I come back up, scream as I see Cole's face in the mirror. I turn around and punch him in the arm. "Don't scare me like that," I hiss, trying to get my heart rate down.

"Sorry," he chuckles. His hand comes up and tosses my hair over my shoulder. He gently touches my neck. "I like seeing my marks on you," he whispers. "Now everybody will know your mine."

I giggle. "Possessive are we?"

He smiles. "You didn't know that?"

"Must've slipped my mind," I say. I squeal as he picks me up and places me on the counter. He gets in between my legs and wraps his arms around me.

"I don't like to be such a party pooper," he says. "But what made you decide that you trust me?"

"Well I had conversations with both Sasha and Jade," I say. "Jade said that I should trust you, before it's too late, because someday he will find someone else," I explain. "And Sasha said that I should trust you, because you'll never find someone else like Cole."

"And?"

"I couldn't imagine my life without you," I whisper.

He smiles and gives me a quick kiss. "I love you," he says.

I giggle happily. "I love you too."

"Yo Cole you here," I suddenly hear Jade's voice yell. I frown at Cole who walks out of the bathroom. I quickly get down from the counter and follow him.

Jade was in the kitchen, pouring herself a glass of OJ. "Morning," she says. She chuckles when she sees me. "Nice Hickeys."

I blush and quickly put my hair back over, so she couldn't see them. "I gave you a key for emergencies," Cole says.

"I was out of OJ," Jade deadpans.

I cross my arms and glare at Cole. "She has a key?"

"Well yeah, because she-"

"We are friends," Jade cuts him off.

She sips at her OJ and raises her eyebrow at the both of us. "Yes we have fixed everything," Cole says. "She trusts me."

I nod. "I can't see my life without him Jade."

"Just don't hurt each other," she states. "Or I will kick either ones ass."

Cole smirks. "I'd like to see you try."

I felt suddenly possessive of Cole, as I watched him and Jade continue to talk.

When the hell did they become so close?

And why should I care?
