Chapter 13
Addison
Laying in the bed after Ty gave me a bath and washed every part of my body. I am sated and tired, but I want to cuddle with my man. Ty, how long are you going to be? I want you to hold me until I fall asleep. Please I yell at him. He chuckles and he says, missing my touch babe, already it has only been fifteen minutes. I pout and whine a yes out. As he came walking back into the room staring at me. With a big smile that lights up the room. I sigh seeing him like this is different but also refreshing. I am the luckiest girl alive to have him as mine. I smile and say, but babe, I am tired and want my man" as close as possible when I go to sleep and do not want to wake up alone. I want you beside me when I go to sleep and when I wake up, so I know I am not dreaming. Ty says, Addison, I am not going anywhere at night. I am home with you, and nobody will stop me from doing that. I might not get home until seven pm. No later than that. Well, I might not be home some night until midnight. In my internship at the hospital, I worked some nights until midnight. Then, on Tuesday nights, I am in class until seven forty-five at night, so no later than eight on that night and my nights at the hospital are Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. I work from ten until five thirty. I have other classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, all nine to four. I have two classes each day. One starts at nine and the other one at noon on all days, but I do not mind sitting an hour in the lounges they have for students who do not have a way back and forth to and from until it all ends, so they stay doing work or talking about some stupid s**t. I will pull my headphones out and sit and do my homework so I do not have to do all of it when I get home. I do it all the time. I will not stop now. Okay, babe, but just know if you need anything at all, let me know also if anyone is bothering you well, I need to know immediately, no ifs ands or buts about it please. Yes sir, I understand, I replied. I understand he is worried, but damn I can manage my own, s**t even my mom was never like this. If someone bothers me, I have to tell him. You have got me twisted. I would never tell him if I was being bothered, never did tell anyone and never will. I just agreed with him so I would not start a fight between us. I do not want to fight with him, because I will not take his s**t of being overprotected. Just because I let that fucker into my house, that was why he was able to get to me. I am a stronger-willed person, and he will have to live with that if he wants to be with me. Listen to me Ty, I do not mind having a bodyguard, but you cannot go around beating people up because they said some wrong things, or hurtful words. My dad always told me to always smile at them and tell them to have a wonderful day and walk away. I am saying this to you now so we wo not fight in the future. I may be small, but I can manage my own when it comes to flight or fighting. I know Addison but the conversation we had at dinner was about me having enemies and they will do anything to hurt me so please bear with me on this one, please my love. Hmm, I respond back. I am done with this conversation. If he can trust me on my own and not have to stay locked up, I would not do it. If he tries to lock me away, I will run from him and never look back. I would start fresh away from this town because there would be nothing left for me here. Ty was what kept me in this town for so long. I have always dreamt he would be mine and always wanted him to come find me. If we fell out, I would be the one who left and ran. I do not want to run from him, I will if I have to. I can manage things myself, have done it for a while now, and I do not need someone trying to tell me what to do. Ty, listen if you can trust me a little. Here it would be apparent, I know how to defend myself. I do get you have enemies that are willing to do anything they can to hurt you and that includes me. Yes, I agree to having all these men look after me, but baby, do not lock me away when I cannot go out. I do not want that for myself. If you do not want me to hate you and want to leave, do not take away my freedom and will to live my life. I love you Ty and if you do any of those things to me, I will leave you so fast you will not even know what to do. Addison, you would really leave me if I would not let you leave when you want to, baby girl. I never said you could not leave unless you have someone with you at all times. I want you safe and sound when I get home. Addison, do you think I would be able to lock you up here and keep you against your will? Never, my love, the only way you are not going anywhere is in the room and I may tie you up one day. Ugh did you really have to say that, Ty? I am game if you want to tie me up, but no gags, and I need to be able to see what is going on. No, I know you would not keep me here without my consent. I was just telling you that, so you know now and instead of a few weeks or how long it took to get to that point. I rolled over, turning my back to him hoping that would stop this conversation. Good night, Ty, love you, and I am sorry if I upset you, I say. Ty wraps his arms around me and pulls me to him saying it is okay love, I understand you, we will talk in the morning. Now go to sleep baby girl, kiss me on the head. That is not good enough for me. I wanted a kiss on the lips, so I turned in his arms and kissed him how I wanted to kiss him. Pulling back, I see the lust in his eyes, and it makes me wet, but I am too tired. I am afraid that I will fall asleep, and I always want to remember how good it is for us. It will continue to get better each time. There has always been an attraction between us that has never gone away, even if we only talked in high school.
