It had never felt so good to be home. Well, technically I wasn't home but it certainly felt like it. Our new house was set up much the same as our old house regarding furniture and all, but that was it.

I loved this new house though. The structure was two stories and though the old house was two stories as well, this one was much bigger; it had a basement which my dad used as a literal home theatre. I loved it so much.

Other than that it was like a palace to me. My mom had always talked about having a house like this one and I was happy she finally got what she wanted; it also meant I was now living in my dream house as well.

The other thing I liked about it was that it was secluded, much like ours back in Washington state had been. And I also had my own bathroom! I had no earthly idea how they were able to afford such and extravagant house, but I didn't care; I was in love with it.

Currently I was sitting on the couch with Ironhide and Adalyn. Since we had got home I had been in the same spot: sitting beside Ironhide with both of my legs wrapped around his body as if I were a big baby. I held onto him tightly, afraid he would disappear from me again.

Due to being sick, I had been falling in and out of sleep since we left the base. It was so bad it got to the point where Adalyn had to drive me home while Ironhide and my dad followed. After that whole ordeal with Galloway, everything had sort of calmed down. Everyone at the base also seemed more than happy that I had shown up, mostly due to the fact that I revealed Galloway's potential career expulsion.

I wasn't even in any kind of legal trouble for what I had done either and I didn't know why considering I had broken a guy's arm, threatened three more, and slammed one's head into a metal pole. There was no way that I was complaining about it though. All of them deserved it.

My head was resting on Ironhide's shoulder and I was fighting to keep my eyes open. He and Adalyn were focused closely on the flat screen TV in front of us while my parents and Annabelle were off somewhere else in the house doing who knows what.

I closed my eyes. I was more than ready to fall asleep but before I could slip away, the sound of a phone's ringtone sounded. I made a face as the chorus of "Birthday Sex" by Jeremih flooded through my ears. Hide tensed up and Adalyn laughed. I absolutely hated that song.

"Ew, what the fuck?" I croaked. I sneezed into my arm.

"It's your phone," Adalyn chirped.

The bitch must have changed my ring tone. I groaned and reached over to get my phone off of the coffee table. In a hurry to silence the ring tone, I answered the phone, not even bothering to check the caller ID.

"Hello?" I asked with a cough. The frantic sound of Sam Witwicky's voice filled my ears and I winced.

"Azalea! Are you okay? Are you in jail? I need you to tell me everything and I need you to tell me now!" the boy exclaimed.

I sighed. My voice wasn't going to last that long. "Stop fucking yelling. You're giving me a headache," I whined.

I leaned my now aching head back onto Hide's shoulder and he rubbed my arm.

"Sorry. But anyways, how did it go?" he asked me.

"Firstly I would like to make a point. How on earth would I be in jail if I answered my phone?" I inquired dumbly.

The line was silent for a moment.

"I was in the moment."

I chuckled but it came out more as a wheeze than anything else.

"Whatever. Anyways, it went absolutely fantastic. I broke a guy's arm, slammed Galloway's head into a metal pole and I finally got to see my cute friend," I laughed. Ironhide grunted.

"Uh, wow. Seems you had a pretty eventful day. The only thing even remotely exciting about my day has been watching you go all Michael Myers over this situation and I also found twenty bucks on the floor, but that's about it."

I laughed. "Aren't you supposed to be on a plane?" I asked him.

"No. It got cancelled because of weather so now I'm stuck here for the next two days. Two days Azalea!"

I giggled and coughed. "You'll be okay, Sammy. But listen. I have to go. My voice isn't going to last much longer," I told him.

He sighed. "Okay. I'll see you in a few months. Bye Lea." The line disconnected and I laid my phone back down on the table.

"So my designation is now nothing but a friend, huh? As a human your age would say, I have been friend-zoned. I am rather hurt by this," Ironhide chuckled.

I shook my head. "Precisely."

He grunted and made a move to get up, but I stopped him.

"Don't leave me again," I yelped. He chuckled and sat back down.

"You two are precious and all but I'm kind of feeling like a third wheel over here," Adalyn laughed.

I looked at her before removing myself from Ironhide and climbing over to get on her lap. She gave me a strange look and Hide laughed at me.

"Is this what you want?" I teased. The look had yet to leave her face.

"Not particularly."

She tried pushing me off of her but I held on to her shoulders and she groaned. I laughed and climbed off of her before sitting down in between the two of them and propping my feet up onto the coffee table.

"Maybe you should find yourself a boy. Cybertronians are much better than actual humans though. Trust me. Human boys may be hot but they're a waste of time. Take it from someone who's had experience in the field," I stated.

Ironhide chuckled and I sneezed into my arm.

"What was your experience?" Adalyn asked.

I snorted, my throat burning from the small action.

"My ex-boyfriend. His name was Logan and we dated for a few months until he suddenly just turned gay," I explained to her.

Hide snickered and Adalyn burst out laughing. I rolled my eyes at them.

"It isn't funny!" I squawked.

Hide pulled me to him and I pouted. "I'm actually quite glad he changed his ways. Had he not, I wouldn't have you," he said.

I smiled and Adalyn cooed.

"I most likely would have dumped him after I met you. You look better than him anyways, both human and Cybertronian form. You're cute," I giggled.

He grunted. "That's a degrading term. In my mind you've just compared me to that of a newborn animal," he claimed.

I snickered. "It also means that you're sexually attractive."

Adalyn immediately got up from her seat. "Yeah. I'm going to take a shower," she mused awkwardly as she ran up the stairs.

I laughed and Ironhide shook his head at me. "I believe you need a good mind cleansing."

"Since when are you such a prude?" I inquired.

He chuckled.

"I'm most definitely not a prude and you should be fully aware of this detail. You've been a victim to very many of my remarks and gesticulations. We all have our needs, Azalea," he smirked.

Well this had taken a rather unexpected direction.

"Maybe if I was twenty feet tall and was properly accommodated, I could help you out with your needs," I laughed.

I went to get up but he pulled me back down onto his lap. He moved me to where I was now facing him, looking directly into his bright blue eyes.

"I just so happen to love you exactly the way you are, Azalea."

Before I could respond, he pressed his lips against mine. In an attempt to be as close to him as humanly possible, I pressed my small body against his and deepened the kiss. His hand journeyed down the side of my body and he stopped when he came to my bottom. He gave it a gentle squeeze and I let out a yelp in surprise. He chuckled and pulled away from me, leaning his forehead against my own.

"Have you been working out? It's a lot firmer than I remember," he teased.

His hand still hadn't moved from its place on my behind and I didn't mind it much; I never did, really. It pleased me to say the least.

"You're such a damn pervert," I laughed.

He smiled at me. "I'm especially delighted with the fact that your hair is back to normal. I've missed it."

"More than you missed me?" I pouted.

He shook his head. "No. I've missed you more than anything in the world. You don't understand how badly I have been longing to hear your voice and to see your beautiful face again. Right now is the greatest I've felt in months. I feel whole again and it's only because I finally have you back in my arms."

I smiled and kissed him once more. He and I shared the same feelings and I couldn't be happier that I was back in his arms and I prayed that I would be able to stay here forever. He was my safe haven and my happiness and it meant more than enough to finally have him back here with me.
