Francisco ^^^^^ He is soooo hawttt!!

CHAPTER 18
Hurt feelings and Heartfelt Regrets

"Asher, I'm bored." I whined as he played on his PS4. 

"Addy, I don't care." 

"But really, I'm bored." 

"Shut up!" 

"I can't, I'm bored." 

"Add–" 

"I'm bored." 

He put down his controller and turned to me, "Why are you here?" 

"Your mom invited me for breakfast when I told her that I was bored." 

"Go annoy her then." He grumbled before taking his controller again.

"I can't. She's cooking and if I go there, she'll ask for help." 

"Go talk to my dad." 

"He's reading the newspaper and I don't want to hear him talk about politics." 

"What do you normally do on a Saturday morning?" He asked throwing the controller to his bed, "Because normally, I get peace." 

"Well, usually I sleep. Blake would be over on Fridays and we'd go to bed very late at night, so I'd sleep in on Saturdays."

"Of course. Blake." He mumbled, "You two fighting is driving me nuts. He keeps calling me every five seconds to hangout ever since you stopped talking to him." 

"Why? Didn't Terra give him company?" I scoffed and Asher let out a sigh. 

"Addy, he drove her home from one party and they went to one carnival together. It does not mean that he's replacing you with her." 

"It certainly felt like it when he left me naked on a bed to go serve as a personal chauffer to a maid's daughter." 

"Trust me, he has been regretting that ever since you stopped talking to him."

"I don't care about him." I mumbled. 

"Really?" Asher asked, raising an eyebrow, "How many times this week have you asked me about him?" 

"Zero" 

"Try again." He smirked. 

"Shut up!" I frowned and crossed my arms.

"Go talk to him after breakfast. You've taken this too far." He said. 

"No, I haven't." 

"Yes, you have. He told me about what happened at the carnival." He informed, "Addy, I know you're mad at him, but that does not give you the rights to hurt him like that." 

When I didn't reply, he spoke again, "If you really do love him, talk to him. Don't lose him because of some girl he talks to occasionally." 

"She's not just some girl. He likes her." 

"I know, but this is just a phase. I mean, who hasn't had a silly crush before?" He asked. "And I know that it hurts you that he likes someone else but staying away from him is obviously hurting you more and it's hurting him to." 

"But it's going hurt even more when I lose him." I whispered softly. 

"But you haven't lost him, Addy. Or at least you haven't lost him because of Terra. Right now, you're the one pushing him away." He said, "I'm not saying that you'll lose him, because you won't, but if you do, don't let it be your fault. All of these worries you have are just in your head."

"It's not just in my head. He told me he likes her." 

"He did, but is he doing anything about it?" Asher asked.

"No, but that's because he thinks that Terra won't like him back. What happens when he finds out about her feelings?" I asked and Asher shook his head.

"Look, if Blake wants something, he'll get it. He obviously does not care enough about that Terra bitch."

"Well, he isn't trying to get me either." I mumbled

"Isn't he?" He asked with a smirk, "All he ever does now is ask me to talk to you for him. After the carnival, he's been a little pissed, but he still asks me about you all the time." 

"Really?" I asked as a small smile broke its way into my face. 

"Trust me, the guy can't go one second without talking about you."

"You're not just saying this to get rid of me, are you?"

"Oh, I'm definitely saying this to get rid of you." He said, "But that does not mean that it's not true." 

I chuckled, "In that case, I guess I'll go talk to him." 

"Good." He grinned. 

I smiled and pulled him into a hug, "Asher, I love you." 

"I love you too." He said and patted on my head, "Now all you have to do is say that to Blake." 

I pulled away from him and gave him a glare, "I change my mind. I hate you." 

He smirked, "I was planning on spending some time with a certain annoying little girl. But if you hate me, then I'll go back to playing." 

"Nope. I love you. You better hangout with me." I said and hugged his arms, making him laugh.

"I can't wait till you get back with Blake. Both of you are clingy as fuck." He said and I chuckled. 

"I really miss him." I said, "Thank you for convincing me." 

"What can I say? I'm really smart." 

I let out a snicker, "If only you were this smart about Hazel." I scoffed making Asher glare at me. 

"Don't you dare start with that!"

"Oh, Hazel and Luk–" 

"Let's go downstairs and check on the food." Asher said, interrupting me and quickly walked out of his room. I chuckled before walking out behind him. 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

"Hey, Claire!" I greeted with a bubbly smile as I walked into their living room after being received at the door by a maid. 

"Addelyn! I haven't seen you around in so long."

"I've been a little busy." I replied, "Is Blake home?" 

"Yes, he's upstairs in his room, studying." 

"Studying?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. 

"Or at least that's what he said." She laughed. 

"Alright. I'm going to go talk to him." I kissed her cheek before climbing up the stairs. 

I opened Blake's bedroom door and found him asleep on his desk, drooling over his textbook. Laughing to myself, I entered before locking the door behind me. 

I walked over to him and placed a kiss on his cheek, making him quickly stir awake, "Mom, don't kiss m– Lynne?" 

"Is it okay if I kiss you?" I asked as I turned his chair around and climbed on his lap. 

"Lynne, get off." 

"No, I'm comfortable like this." I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck.  

He rolled his eyes and gave me an irritated look, "What are you doing here?" 

"I came here to meet you, obviously." I grinned. 

"Why is the mighty queen here to meet a measly pawn?" He asked sarcastically. 

"Are you still mad about that?" I asked. 

"Yes, I am." 

"Will you forgive me?" I asked, giving him the most adorable pout that I could muster up.

He quickly looked away, "No, I won't." 

"Why not?" I pouted some more and used a finger to tilt his face towards mine. 

"How could you expect me to forgive you in just three days when you haven't talked to me in two weeks?" 

"Because you're nicer than me." I replied with a sweet smile.

"That's true actually." He agreed, nodding his head, "But I can be just as stubborn as you." 

"No, you can't." I shook my head. 

"Yes, I can." 

"You can't resist me for that long." I said with smirk before moving my lips towards his ear. I opened my mouth and lightly bit down on his ear lobe, making him curse. 

He quickly brought a hand up and covered his ear. 

"No, I'm not going to let you seduce me." He said. 

"Want to put a bet on that?" I asked as I started trailing kisses down his neck. 

"If you don't stop now, I'm going to shout rape." He warned, making me chuckle against his skin. 

"No one's going to come save you, Blake. I locked the door." 

My lips moved up to his jaw and I gave his skin a lick before sucking on it. I softly nibbled on his skin and twirled my tongue around it, earning a sexy moan from him. 

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!" He chanted before my head was pulled away from his neck. 

"Get off me, Addelyn." He urged. 

"My name sounds so weird coming from your mouth." I laughed. 

He clenched his jaw and turned his face away from mine. 

"You know", I began as I trailed a finger starting from his temple then down his jaw, making him slightly shiver, "You're really hot when you're angry." I whispered, leaning in closer to his ear. 

He huffed and slapped my hand away from his face. 

"This is one of those rare moments when I complement you. Don't you want to enjoy it?" I asked but he didn't respond, so I continued, "You're hot, you're sexy and you have a nice dick." 

I smirked when I saw him trying to hold back an amused smile. 

"And you have really pretty eyes." I smiled as I turned his face towards mine again to stare into his gorgeous greyish blue eyes. 

"And a cute nose." I said before flicking his nose with a finger and grinned when I spotted a faint smile on his lips. 

"And I love your lips." I softly pecked his lips and smiled when he didn't push me away. 

"I love everything about you, Blake." I whispered, resting my forehead against his, "Even though I hate that you're nice to Terra, I love that you care about people. I love how you always make me smile. And I love how you're always there for me to make me happy." 

I tightened my arms around his neck and pushed my body closer to him, "I love how you always forgive me no matter what I do and I know you'll forgive me this time too, not because I seduced you, but because you're just that amazing."

By now he was looking deep into my eyes, making my heart beat fiercely, trying to escape out of its cage. He slowly brought a hand up and touched my cheek.

"It hurt me so much to hurt you, Blake." I whispered, closing my eyes. 

"Then why did you?" He finally spoke, making me look up at him. "Why did you do that?" 

"Because...." I trailed off not knowing what to say. I didn't want to tell him about how much power he had to hurt me because it would kill me if he continued to do it knowing how much effect he had on me. 

"Because?" He asked. 

"Because of Cole." I lied only to realize that it was probably the worst lie I could've said at this moment. 

All the softness in his eyes disappeared within a second and he clenched his jaw. "Because of Cole?" 

"I know you like Terra, but Cole loves her. And I just don't think that it's right for you to take her away from him." 

And I don't think it's right for her to take Blake away from me when I'm the one who loves him the most. 

"It's her decision to make. Not Cole's and definitely not yours." He said, "Besides, I told you that this thing with her isn't going anywhere. Why are you making a big deal out of it?"

"I won't next time." I told him, "Can you just forgive me so that we could forget about that night and let everything go back to the way it was?"

"You lied to me, used me and played with my feelings to help Cole and you expect me to forgive you?" He asked, "Especially when you haven't spoken to me in two weeks because I decided to help Terra by giving her one ride home." 

"Umm... yeah." I said, "Now we're even." 

"No, we're not even." He grumbled, standing up with me still on his lap. I let out a squeal and quickly wrapped my arms and legs tightly around his body, holding on to him for my dear life.

He started walking, then threw me off him and I felt my back hit his bed. I immediately lifted myself up and sat straight on his bed as I watched him walk back to his desk. He took his seat before burying his head in his hands which rested on his desk. 

"Blake, I'm sorry." I finally apologized.

"I'm so, so sorry. I did what I thought was right at the moment and I didn't think about the consequences. I don't want to lose you, Blake." I said, feeling a lump in my throat at the thought, "You're the most important person in my life and I don't know what I'll do if you hate me." I choked out. 

"I don't hate you." He whispered as he lifted his head up. 

"Come here." He said turning his seat around and motioning me towards him. 

A small smile appeared on my face as I stood up from his bed and walked over to him. I swung my legs over him and sat down on his lap before cupping his face in my hands. 

"I'm so sorry, Blake. I know I don't deserve to be forgiven, but please. It's killing me to be away from you. You mean everything to me, Blake. I don't know what I'd do without you. And I don't want to find out either." 

I closed my eyes and a traitorous tear reached my cheek. I felt a fingertip caress my skin, drying the tear off it. I opened my eyes and met with Blake whose own eyes glimmered as he stared at me with a soft smile.

"You really mean that?" He asked in a whisper and I nodded, unable to form any words. 

My heart beat stopped as he slowly moved his lips closer to mine, teasing me every second. I parted my lips and waited for his touch but all I felt was his heavy breath hitting my lips. 

"Lynne", he breathed out and I barely nodded, "You were right. I can't resist you for long." 

His lips crashed against mine and all the worries escaped my mind as I kissed him back with all the built-up excitement. I felt a soft bite on my lip, making me part it open, allowing him to easily slip his tongue in. 

My hand slowly slid down to the hem of his shirt and I pulled away from the kiss before yanking it off him. His lips found their way back to mine and I placed my hands on his chest, feeling every single beat of his racing heart. 

"Blake!" We quickly pulled away from each other as Claire's voice shouted from the other side of the door. 

"Why is the room locked?" She asked. 

"Fuck!" He cursed before motioning me to get off him. I got up and sat on his bed as he pulled on his shirt. He quickly rushed to the door and opened it, revealing Claire.

"What are you both up to with the door locked?" she asked suspiciously as she entered the room.

"Mom!" Blake groaned, "Don't be weird." 

"I'm just asking. That's all." 

"We just had some issues to sort through. No big deal." I told her with a polite smile. 

"Alright." She said, "But I don't know how I feel about two teenagers sitting alone in a locked-up room." 

"Mom, stop. We're just friends." Blake said. 

"Good. Otherwise, I'm going to have to put a restrain on all the bedroom visits and sleepovers you two have." 

"You can trust us, Claire." I grinned and she smiled at me. 

"But just in case, keep the door open." She said before exiting the room. 

I waited until I heard her footsteps descend the stairs, "I can't believe she still thinks that we're just friends." I giggled. 

"Well, I can't believe she lets me stay over at your house knowing that you live alone." 

"She really trusts you, doesn't she?" 

"Yeah, and I know how to exploit that trust very well." He said before pushing me down on his bed and hovering over me. 

"The door's open." I reminded him. 

He groaned before falling on his bed beside me. I hugged his waist and cuddled up to him. 

"What if my mom walks in and sees this?" He asked as he wrapped an arm around me.

"This is just a friendly cuddle." I said.

"No, it's not. I can feel your boobs press against me and I'm enjoying it very much." He said, giving me a cheeky grin.

"You just ruined the mood." I gave him a blank look before rolling away to the other side of the bed. 

"No come back." He whined but I smiled and stayed glued to me position. 

After a few seconds, I felt him behind me.

"You interrupted my sleep." He said as he wrapped his arm around me, pulling me flush against his chest. 

"But it was worth it." I said.

"Yes, it was." He mumbled, "Now I get to sleep with you beside me." 

"Who said that I was going to sleep?" 

"I did. Now, close your eyes and start dreaming about me." He said, "After we wake up, we'll go to your house and do more things." 

I chuckled before turning around to face him and he immediately buried his head in the crook of my neck. 

"Now this is not friendly." He whispered, letting me feel his lips on my skin. 

"We'll just tell your mom that we accidently cuddled in our sleep." 

He slightly nodded and within just a few minutes, he was asleep. I went to sleep too, enjoying his warmth, making me realize how much I missed this. 

All I could do now is hope that this is not the calm before the storm.

Author's Note

Blake and Addelyn are "friends" again. Now, how many of you wanna hug me with joy and how many of you wanna kill me? 

I actually wrote this chapter as a lighthearted comedy but after editing it, it became.... whatever that was. 

I think I wrote an entire love confession, minus the love confession. If that makes any sense. 

But unfortunately, Blake took all of that in a friendly manner. Like you know, friends love each other.
