She winced slightly as she tried to walk. Perhaps she should have listened to him when he said that she should rest instead. He was pretty rough in the afternoon but she enjoyed pretty much every moment of it.

Hard and fast. She swooned at that.

​​

She now understood what James meant when he said that rough with a bit of kink was going to blow her away.

And it did.

After her multiple orgasms and his own, they both had had their fill and he took her to her bathroom. He lathered her hair and washed it along with her body making her feel super special. She loved every moment of it.

Now, it was the night and she was lying awake because after the bath they had fallen asleep. Her father was sleeping too. Like always, after work and a week of leave that he had taken for her he had a lot of catch up on which made him dead tired.

She sighed and decided that perhaps she should try walking now. With Xavier in the house the whole day, he made sure that she didn't even get up for the loo and that was a daily occurrence.

She slowly moved around and got up from the bed. Without her crutches, she slowly moved to the wall and walked down the stairs with the walls help. Her feet slowly moved forward and her eyes adjusted to the dark. She frowned as she noticed it.

She could see in the dark!

Not clearly but better than before. She could see the things and she won't be surprised if her eyes glowed in the dark.

She moved to the kitchen. The idea of a midnight snack made her full stomach adjust space for some more.

She had been feeling a lot of hungry lately but then again she had also gotten sexually active recently for which as she might reason for body needed more energy.

She switched the lights on and opened the fridge. There was no way that her father was getting up which is why she had often suggested getting a dog for security and company.

She made herself a grilled cheese sandwich. Two actually, which made her wonder What was wrong with her because she was often full by one. Even though it was around midnight she still went outside to eat. Sitting on the steps she continued to eat while enjoying the weather.

"Hello there." Her head with to the side to where she heard the voice from and saw her neighbour standing there.

They were the new ones.

"Hello." She smiled back. She must have seen him somewhere. She was sitting close enough for them to have a chat and she could hear him every nicely.

Weird.

His eyes, especially those were familiar.

"Do you go to our high school?" she asked trying to find a source of familiarity.

He shook his head. "No, I work around the town. Various jobs, so you must have seen me working."

She nodded. Maybe, that was it.

"Why aren't you asleep?" She asked taking a bit of her sandwich.

He shrugged looking straight. "I don't know. Maybe I am overworked. How about you? The future tensions keeping you up?"

Future tensions? She blinked repeatedly at that. She had completely forgotten about that.

"Um . . ." She swallowed in nervousness, "I have that decided. I want to go to Yale."

"Holy shit. What subject?"

"Education. I want to teach but that doesn't pay well so I think I would go with global affairs." She answered with a slight smile on her face. "I find those very interesting."

The boy nodded. "I'm Noah Scott." He held out his hand and Adeline took it as she stood up for it.

"Adeline woods." She smiled at him, completely making out his frame out in the dark. "Nice to meet you too."

"You have a boyfriend," he added and then raises his hands when she stared at him, a little creeped out. "I mean have seen him a lot. So I just assumed."

There was no harm in admitting it. So she just nodded, confirming the assumption.

Noah nodded. "Well, what are his ambitions?"

She turned to answer but the words stuck in her mouth.

What were his ambitions?

He had not answered clearly what she had asked him last time and from that time she had never bothered to ask him again.

"He isn't sure." She shrugged. "I'm sure he will come up with something great for him."

"He should. After all, you will have to focus on Yale and he has to go to school around it. The long-distance would be difficult when you have to study harder than before."

She lowered her eyes and nodded to his words. "Yes, yes," she muttered.

All of This made sense to her because at the end of the day she had to live the sound within the most prestigious school for her where her father and mother had met.

"Don't tell me you are thinking about breaking up." Noah joked, "But to be honest it's a relationship between you and him and for you, you should always keep yourself on top."

She looked at him and joked back. "You know a lot about relationships. How many have you been in?"

He raised a finger. "Just one. She was the Love of My Life."

"Aww.." she cooed but then immediately sobered up. "Wait was?"

He nodded grimly. "Yes, was. She died, unfortunately. She was killed by my enemies." His eyes met Adeline's and she shivered with how intense they were.

"Oh," she whispered pulling away from his eyes and looking down. "I am so sorry."

"Sometimes I feel like I can get her back, you know. But I need help for it." He looked up into the sky.

Adeline looked at his face as he was looking up. The guy looked sad and she counts to stop her next words. "Well, if you want, I could help you when it's the time."

His head snapped to hers and she flinched, "You will?" He said breathlessly.

She nodded with a smile. "Yes, anytime."
