[Nea's POV]

I stand on my old house porch, corrected my house porch. My mind is wondering how did my parents get this house back and they told me that Adam bought this house back. I was surprised and I wanted to ask him why did he do it, but my parents scolded me saying that he did it because he loves me.

It's not that I don't believe them, but I didn't hear it from Adam himself. I know and I can feel how he feels for me, but I would really like to hear it out loud. I sigh a bit loud while sitting on the swing on the porch. I heard laughs and my eyes widen as I look around. Then I found the perpetrator, holding his leg while sitting up on the tree next to my house.

"Luke! You're going to give me a heart attack!"

"Oh come on! I walk to the tree in front of you and you didn't even see me, and I couldn't hold it when I heard what you've been thinking along with the loud sigh." Luke grins mischievously.

"Really? I didn't realize... Wait, What??! You said I was saying my mind and it was out loud? Not in my head??"

Luke nodded and he laughs to my baffle reaction now. I can feel the heat creep on my neck and face as I quickly hide it with my hands. I heard Luke jumps on the ground and he jumps on the porch as he walks toward me.

"Relax Aryn. Only I heard it." Luke ruffles my hair as he sits next to me on the swing.

I put my hands away and I turn to look at him. He looks great as usual sporting his white shirt and black jeans along with his converse.

"How's life?" I ask as I look at him and he smiles softly.

"Good, I've been having a great time at my internship. How are you? I know I should be mad at you for leaving without a word, but you know me, Aryn, I can't get mad at you."

I smile softly, "I know. I'm sorry for making you worried and goes crazy, don't say that you don't because I heard all of it, about that day. I..I can't stop saying sorry to them, all of them. I know I'm guilty."

"No, you did what's best for you and later did you know that it's actually is not the best and don't tell me that you didn't regret."

I nodded, "A lot of time, but I knew I had to go through it no matter what it cost."

Luke chuckles, "You've grown up, by that I mean your mindset. He's lucky to have you, but you do know you're lucky that he's waiting for you right?"

"Absolutely! I won't trade anything for him." Luke ruffles my hair again as we both smile and a loud cough stop us.

"Adam," I said as I smile widely.

"Hey, baby." Adam walks towards us as he smiles. He stopped in front of Luke and they both stare or glare at each other for a minute.

"Hey, guys.." I was trying to make them stop when they suddenly grin and hugs each other while patting hard at the back.

Wow! I did not see that coming.

Both of them smile and grinning as they talk excitedly to each other and I feel like I'm third-wheeling between them. I grunt slowly as I walk away towards the front door. Then I heard a car stop in front of our front yard and I saw my sisters walking out of the car.

"Oh My God!! Nea!!" Bella and Fay yell as they run towards me as fast as they could. I am also automatically running to their arms as we embrace each other in a tight hug. I shut my eyes close as I hug them both, "God! I miss you guys soo much!"

"We miss you too!" They both tighten their hugs and I open my eyes, only to see Sam is standing a few feet away from us and he's smiling to me.

"Sam?" I said and he nodded as I let both of my sisters go and he hugs me in a warm hug, "Good to have you back Nea. We're all worried sick when you're gone." Sam mumbles while hugging me.

I pull away and I look at the car and Sam, "Is this car yours?" Sam nodded and I turn to look at my sisters remembering that they both got out of his car and then I look back to Sam.

"Sorry if I'm being rude, but what are you doing here Sam?"

Sam's eyes widen and he stutters as he strokes the back of his head, "You might want to hear it from Bella herself."

I look at a blushing Sam and I turn around quickly only to find a blushing Bella and a smirking Fay. "No way!" I said as I put my hand on my mouth as I agape.

"Yes, Way!" Fay yells back as she grins widely and Bella pushes her away.

"But, how? When? What? Who? Urghh.." I have a lot of questions, but as I was overexcited I can't utter any word and Adam chuckles as he hugs me from behind. Sam, Bella, Fay, and Luke walk inside and I was left behind with Adam.

"Be patient. Bella will tell you everything." Adam sways me along as he hugs me by the waist and rests his head on mine.

"Why didn't you tell me about them? And also about this house?" I pouted after realizing how much have I lost within a year.

"I wanted to, but I don't know how to contact you. You totally blocked me." Adam said slowly an I almost say another 'sorry' when he cuts me off, "Don't say another 'sorry', You've said it enough already and I'm not angry at you, at all."

I sigh and Adam turns me around, he tightens his hold on my waist, "We're both at fault, but what matters the most is now, the present time, where you're back and we're together again. I couldn't imagine going through another year without you Nea." Adam pulls me in and hugs me as he said, "I love you."

My eyes widen and pull back, searching for his eye and he smiles back. I know I can't hold this raging heart anymore as I smile back, and bit teary as I said, "I love you too."

Adam's eyes widen at my sudden confession and he can't stop smiling when he looks into my sincere eyes.

"I am lucky to have you Nea Aryn Clark," Adam said as we look at each other with a smile.

"And I am lucky to have you, Adam Nicholas Clark."

Adam chuckles and he leans in slowly, reducing the gaps between us and I shut my eyes when I feel his hot breath on my face. My heart is racing hard and I feel myself getting hotter as Adam's lips almost touching mine.

"Hey lovebirds! Dinner time!" Fay's voice makes us jumps and we are both blushing. Fay smirks and she continues her sharp comments, "Please do continue when you're both in your own room." I quickly run after Fay as she scrambles inside and I can hear her laughing frantically as Adam follows behind also laughing.

I'm happy when I'm with you.
