Cole's POV
I stroke the paint brush against the canvas, as I finish the final touches to Addylin's portrait. She won't see the rest till her birthday, which was in two weeks.
I know that cause she put it in my calendar.
I get up and walk to my kitchen, opening the pantry and grabbing out the rest of my cookies from Addylin.
I've put on so much weight cause of her cooking.
This is my second container of her cookies. Maybe she wants me fat.
There's a knock at my door, so i walk out of the kitchen and to the door. I open it and see three little Girl Scouts there.
When they see me, I see the horror in two of their faces. The other one had her jaw dropped. "Hi," I say. "May I help you?"
They all scream and quickly run down my driveway. I grunt and slam the door, walking back to my place on the couch.
3 hours later, when I'm in a good bing watch of the Big Bang Theory, there's another knock at my door.
I get up, walking back to the door and slamming it open.
I'm met with the cops.
"Hello," one politely says. "Do you live here?"
"I do," I say. "I also own it."
"We had a complaint from a woman down the road, that someone who lived here harassed her kids," the girl one states.
"The Girl Scouts?" I ask. They both nod. "Yeah they screamed and ran away when they saw my face."
"Okay thanks," the girl says. "Have a good day."
I shut my door and slump against it. The day in the life of;
Me.

When Addylin sees me, she squeals in excitement and drops to her knees.

Ronny runs to her and starts licking her face. "Hey Ronny," she coos. "I missed you."
I notice now she hardly ever stutters around me. The only time she does is when she needs to tell me something. "You didn't miss me?" I ask, once I get to them.
She stands back up and gives me a quick kiss to the lips. "Of course I missed you."
I wrap my arms around her waist and bring her in for another kiss. She wraps her arms around my neck and hums. We continue kissing in front of her house, till some bitch clears her throat.
I mean this lovely lady.
We pull away and Addylin's cheeks turns dark red. "That mutt can't come inside," Jade says pointing to Ronny. Ronny barks at her and she scowls. "What's he barking about?"
"He's saying that he agrees with me," I state. "About that your a bitch."
I hiss as Addylin punches my shoulder. Jade storms back inside and Addylin brings me back down, kissing me. Once, twice, then just us kissing passionately in front of her neighbours. "Play nice," she murmurs.
I hum. "If I do, do I get a reward?"
"Yes," she giggles, pulling away. "I'll come by tomorrow and make you dinner."
"Done," I say. I kiss her quickly and then she pulls me to the front door. Ronny follows us inside and starts looking around, till he settles under her kitchen bench.
Addylin walks into the kitchen and starts cutting up vegetables. "What are we having?" I ask, jumping into a stool.
"Roast chicken," she says. "Jade's boyfriend is also coming over."
"Is he gonna laugh about my face too?" I ask, dryly.
"I don't think so," Addylin replies. "James is much more nicer than Jade."

"Then why does he date her?"
"I can hear you," I hear Jade yell from her bedroom.
I roll my eyes and see Addylin scowling at me. "I said to be nice," she says.
"I thought you meant nice to her face," I argue. "Not behind her back."
She huffs and brings out a chicken from the fridge. She puts it into a tray and pours oil over it. She places her cut up vegetables also into the tray and puts a little oil on them, before putting them in the oven.
She then comes over to me and kisses me. I wrap my arms around her and force my tongue into her mouth. She moans softly and her hands trail up my arms and grip my shoulders.
"For fuck sake, do you have to do that where I eat?"
I pull away from Addylin and glare at her. "Can you ever mind your own business?"
Addylin sighs in my arms.
I guess I'm not getting that dinner tomorrow.
