Addison
As his lips moved above mine, I told myself this was everything I’ve wanted with everything in me for thest five years. However, I hadn’t wanted it like this at all— whereby he didn’t confess to desiring or wanting me, which was why, with all of my might, I pushed him away from me, whine gasping for breath. My hands rested against his chest which I used to push him again when he attempted to close the distance between us again, whine my heart was beating really fast.
“I- I’m not in love with you, Marco. You just caught me off guard, that is all.” I managed to breathe out while still trying to regte my pounding heartbeat, but I was worried that I had already ruined everything, cause now, he had azy grin on as he regarded me.
“Liar.” He shot at me, then he surged forward to kiss me again, and I turned my head away, making his lipsnd on my
cheek.
“You don’t need to keep lying to me, Addison. I know it’s me you still love.” He sighed out, clearly pleased by how he was sounding, and instantly wished the ground would swallow me up at once. Why the heck did I agree to have a dribk with him? Regret began to churn within me, I should have really listened to Zane when he told me to not spend any time alone with Marco, and I’m starting to see why he said that.
“Seriously, Marco, stop being ridiculous. I’m not in love with you. I’m dating your brother and I’m in love with him.” I breathed in, making sure that my voice came out steady and strong.
Marco regarded me for a moment before scoffing and rolling his eyes. “If you really aren’t in love with me, you wouldn’t have asked me if I wanted you.” He drawled and I felt a wave of mortification
Gods. I’m really so stupid this time.
When he cupped my <b>face </b>and attempted to kiss me again, I pped him hard across the face before I could stop myself.
As he gaped at me, I pointed at him. “What is your problem, Marco? Did I do such a crime that me choosing tofort you when I found you crying ended up leading to you choosing to try humiliate me like this<b>?</b><b>” </b><b>I </b>cried out, trying to spin this whole thing around, whine geeethung hard.
His eyes widened, then after a few seconds, his face crumbled and he stepped forward and pulled me into a hug. “You’re right, Addison. I’m really an asshole, and I’m sorry.” He mumbled, his hand massaging my back. Usually, I’d have melted against him but presently, I was stiff as hell throughout the hug and ended up pulling out first.
“Um<b>, </b>it’s <b>fine</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>I mumbled and turned to leave, but grabbed my hand, preventing me from moving.
“Seriously, Addison. I’m sorry. I don’t want whatever this is toe in between us. I know that I

was out of line, and I’m sorry.” He continued but my mind was still reeling cause Marco wasn’t even someone that loved to apologize on a normal day. And I was feeling sick as hell, that despite how this night began to spin, it still ended with him and I being back to square one, after I had began to get my hopes up.
I had a feeling he was also just humoring me right now and had already figured things between myself and Zade aren’t 100% real when I hesitated for a fleeting moment. I felt hummed that he distends yo revealing anything to me, but does that even matter anymore? Does he like me or not? He did kiss me after all, so what does that mean?
I was confused as fuck, but also drained.
‘It’s fine, Marco.” I managed and after he let go of me, I fled up the stairs,pletely forget about the water I went down stairs ti initially grab. As soon as I stepped into the bedroom and mmed the door close, a scream gathered in my throat, cause standing right by the door, was Zade… whom I thought was sleeping.
‘Y- you’re awake.” I managed in a weak voice and he hummed as he regarded me curiously, then his hand was sliding around my waist, which he used in tugging me flushed against his body till I gasped.
‘Where are youing from?” He asked as he leaned down to nuzzle my throat, making my head pin as my head grew light. His hands in me right now was making it hard for me to properly think, ind a shiver rolled down my spine. I was supposed to have set clear boundaries between us but I’m still yet to get to that.
‘Uh… I went to get some water.” I whispered in response while my heart pounded away, cause no way was I gonna tell him the truth which is the disaster that just took ce in the kitchen.
He hummed, then he lifted me into his arms unexpectedly, making me squeak and clutch his shoulders tightly. He grinned as he carried me all the way to the bed and set me down, then he wiggled his brows, making me suddenly feel warmth in my chest.
‘Are you feeling sleepy?” He asked and I shook my head. I was yet to recover from the shock I encountered downstairs, so falling asleep now is basically impossible.
‘Why don’t we get to know each other some more then?” He suggested as he took the spot by my feet, his handsing to rest on my calves, making heat sear right into those spots.
Was his touches gonna feel this way at all times? I thought it wouldter stop feeling this way after a while, but it seems like I’ve been wrong.
We talked and talked till Ipletely forgot about the incident that took ce downstairs, and I got to know more sides of Zade that I didn’t know before, like how he loved cats, and how he loved romance movies. He even has a pet fish.
Seriously, he just keeps surprising me more and more.

When weter climbed into bed together, as he pulled me into his arms, I wanted to protest, but it died on my tongue after he kissed my head.
As I began to fall asleep, I asked myself if keeping this presence between us up was still needed cause I had a feeling I had ruined everything with my own hands tonight.
