•Next Morning, 10 a.m.; Maddie and Ally's Apartment•

~Maddie's POV~

"Lachlan" I cooed; my legs on either sides of his torso as I hovered over him with my vlogging camera. (A/N: Yes, I know that first part of the sentence sounded very dirty)

He let out a groan, opening his eyes slightly.

"Good morning" I greeted with a mischievous smile.

Realizing that I was recording him, he pulled up the covers over his head.

"Stop recording me" he mumbled, his voice raspy and tried.

"It's for my vlog Lachlan" I explained.

"I don't care if it's for your vlog. Turn it off" Lachlan demanded.

Lachlan hated being recorded in the morning. But that doesn't stop me from doing it.

"And what if I don't?" I challenged.

Without any warning, Lachlan grabbed my waist and swiftly switched us so he was on top (A/N : And the dirtiness of the chapter continues ).

"I'm still recording" I smirked, pointing the camera purposely in his face.

Lachlan placed a hand over the camera lens before leaning in and pressing his soft lips against mine.

Our lips moved in sync as Lachlan slowly moved the camera out of the way; closing the gap between us.

I cupped his face as his hands travelled under my shirt; his fingers playing with my bra hook.

That feeling returned. That feeling of being unsure and doubting myself. That feeling of being uncomfortable and not ready.

"I think we should stop" I suggested as I pulled away quickly, leaving Lachlan embarrassed and guilty.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable" he apologized quickly, a blush forming on his cheeks.

"Lachlan, it's fine" I reassured him.

"No, it's not fine. I should have made sure you were okay with me," he paused for a second, trying to find the right words to say, "doing that."

"Are you a-" I trailed off, both of us knowing what I was referring to.

"Yeah. I mean, I'm not a virgin to seeing stuff related to that."

I gasped. "You watch porn?"

" What no! I don't watch porn. Australian Sex Ed in high school is very intense. Pictures and videos" Lachlan laughed.

"Canadian Sex Ed isn't any better" I laughed.

"I'm assuming you are one too?" Lachlan asked.

"Yeah, the closest I ever gotten was after the barbecue in Australia" I admitted.

"Wow, I was your first closest" Lachlan breathed.

"Yep."

"I'm honoured" Lachlan boasted, looking pleased with himself.

"Whatever Lachlan" I laughed, rolling my eyes at him.

"So, why the wait?" Lachlan asked curiously.

"I feel like I should wait until marriage" I confessed.

What if he doesn't want to wait? What if he leaves me because of that?

"Me too. I don't want to screw anything over between us right now," Lachlan agreed, flashing a slight smile, "plus, I rather not have to tell my mom I got you pregnant at only 20."

I let out a laugh, feeling a bit better about the situation. "Same. I don't even want to see the look on my mom's face if I told her I was pregnant with your baby at 19."

"I'm glad we came to this agreement" Lachlan smiled.

"Yeah, thanks for understanding" I thanked, glad that everything went smoothly.

•Same Day, 3 p.m.; Maddie's New Bedroom•

"Lachlan? Are you gonna give me a hand?" I asked slightly annoyed as Lachlan was texting away on his phone having a great time while I was struggling to put together the bed frame for my new bedroom.

IKEA is the worst place in the world. You have to walk throughout the whole bloody store to find the one thing you need and then after being frustrated from all that searching, putting it together is a literal pain in the ass.

I thought the trip was going to be easier and less stressful since I had my boyfriend with me but Lachlan was as useless as a dead iPhone.

All he did the whole time was wander aimlessly around the store texting on his phone and laughing.

"In a second Mads" he grumbled before smiling as he read his new message.

"You said that last time I asked" I pointed out.

"I promise, I'll help you in a second" he brushed off.

I could see his fingers brush over the keyboard as he had his back turned away from my face.

"You've been on your phone for a while now. Who are you texting?" I asked curiously, leaning over his shoulder to try and get a quick glance at the conversation.

He moved the phone from my eyesight. "It's no one that you know."

"Lachlan, let me see" I pleaded, trying to grab the phone out of his hands but he moved it away again.

"It's nothing Maddie. It shouldn't concern you anyways" Lachlan protested, getting up from the wooden floor.

"What are you hiding from me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing" he lied.

I stood up abruptly, coming face to face with him.

"Who are you texting Lachlan?" I demanded, looking at him with a dead serious look.

"I told you, it's no one important" Lachlan denied.

"If it's no one important then why can't you just let me see?" I retaliated, violently ripping the phone out of his hands.

He tried to grab it back but I turned my back away from him; processing to read the messages.

I looked at the contact name. Hannah.

"Give me back my phone Maddie" Lachlan demanded firmly.

"Who the fuck is Hannah Lachlan?" I yelled, turning back to face him.

"She's just a friend" Lachlan defended angrily.

Rage built up inside of me and I felt like just throwing his stupid phone against a wall.

Hannah? It's clearly a girl. We just got back together and now he's texting an mysterious girl he doesn't want me to know about? What a dick.

"She's clearly more than a friend since she 'can't wait to see you when you get back to Australia' and sends kissy heart face emojis to you" I quoted, reading directly from the messages.

He ripped the phone out of my steady hands. "The kissy heart emoji isn't just sent between couples Madeline."

"I'm not saying it is but when it's used like that it makes it seem like you're seeing another girl in Australia" I asserted.

"Are you accusing me of fucking cheating on you again? Do you not trust me?" he exclaimed, hurt and anger mixed in his voice.

"How can I? You haven't given me a reason to!" I screamed. "Who is she Lachlan?"

He rubbed his temples in frustration. "For fucks sake Maddie! She's Billy's girlfriend!"

My mouth formed into a O shape as the anger inside of me simmered down into embarrassment.

"I was talking to her about you and showing her pictures of us together like this one" he continued, scrolling through the conversation before showing me a screenshot of his home screen.

The picture was of the two of us, Lachlan scrunching up his nose while I kissed him on the cheek. He took it while we went out for Chipotle in Florida.

Lachlan had posted it on Instagram with the caption "Chipotle with the bae 😘."

"I didn't want to tell you cause I didn't want it to seem like I was hitting on another girl. You can even look on Billy's Instagram for pictures of Hannah since you don't trust me" Lachlan continued.

The sentence hit me like a brick.

"Lachlan, I didn't mean that. I do trust you. I just thought you were still texting that girl who you kissed" I confessed.

"I deleted her number Mads. And you don't trust me since you think I would cheat on you again" he snapped, disappointment and anger clouding his face.

"Lachy, I'm really sorry" I apologized sincerely.

"I don't believe you" Lachlan spat as he stormed out of the of room; slamming the door violently behind him.
