Scarred for Love

Chapter 11

Nathan woke up on a couch to the sweet smell of bacon and coffee in the air. He cleared the sleepiness out of his eyes and looked around for the clock and didn’t realize that it was already that late. He had a little over an hour left to get ready, eat and get to Stanford for another series of lectures. He made his way to the kitchen quietly and watched Addison flipping an omelet like a pro. He approached her from behind and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Getting busy are we?” He asked her. “A man can get used to this.” She smiled.

“I hope you like omelets.” She said, pressing her head against the side of his face and closing her eyes briefly savoring the feel of him.

“I love omelets!” He exclaimed. “Has anyone ever told you that you make an apron look good?

“Loads of times!” She said in an exaggerated tone and rolled her eyes at him. He took notice, turned her around, moved her towards the counter and away from the stove and put the spatula down on the counter behind her. He cornered her between his arms as he pressed his hips into hers. She giggled, pushed him lightly away with her hands on his chest, nipping at his bottom lip. He kissed her back urgently and when he pulled away, she smiled and bit her lower lip. Oh the things I could do to you right now. She thought to herself.

“Can we eat and revisit this conversation afterward? My omelet is getting cold and yours is about to burn.” She eyed the pan as she took hold of the spatula and banged it against her other hand like she meant business. Nathan couldn’t help but laugh at the expression on her face.

“How was it?” Addison sat there watching him swallow his last few bites of his omelet.

“Delicious.” He said and added, “Just like you.” Addison laughed.

“Sweet-talker!” She called him.

“I only speak the truth.” Nathan rebutted with his hands held out in front of him in defense.

“Uh… Huh!” She retorted and laughed lightly. She looked at the clock and scrunched up her nose. “I really need to jump in the shower before we go, so if you don’t mind…” She turned around to start heading upstairs. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into him and kissed her on the cheek.

“Thanks for breakfast.” He told her.

“I'll see you in a half?” She asked him. He nodded.

She headed to her bedroom and pulled out some underwear and laid out her clothes for the day ahead on her bed and headed to the bathroom. She stripped down and got in the shower letting the hot water trickle down her back. It felt so good. She headed to her bedroom in her underwear, drying her hair when her phone rings.

“Where the hell have you been?” She heard in the phone before she had the chance to say hello. It was her mother.

“Hi Mom. No Mom, I'm not avoiding you. Things are great here. School is busy. I've got to go Mom or I'll be late for my class. I love you too. Tell Daddy I miss him.” She was glad to be off the phone. She wasn't lying when she said she'd be late. Her daydreaming in the shower took up most of her time. She jumped into her clothes, threw some mascara on and swept her hair into a loose bun on top of her head. She slipped on a pair of shoes and ran out the door with her book-bag. Nathan stood leaning against the side of his car waiting for her. She noticed he was wearing his uniform today. This was the first time she'd seen him in his uniform. God, please arrest me now. I've been a naughty girl.

Nathan couldn't help but notice Addison when she rushed out the door. He watched her walk up to him and couldn't help but smile.

“What's the smile for?” She asked him, feeling ogled.

“Because you're gorgeous.” He said in a simple tone and gave her a wink. Five minutes later, Kurt had joined them on their ride to the college.

“Dude, where the hell have you been most of the week?” Kurt asked Nathan.

“What do you mean?” Nathan began. “You've seen me every day.” And he looked over at Addison and smiled. Kurt found himself looking between both of them. He was quite confused.

“Hold on here.” He paused. “Did I miss something? Are you two?” Addison and Nathan laughed.

“What are you talking about?” Addison asked Kurt.

“We're spending time together.” Nathan told him. “I think I might have to keep this one.” Addison couldn't help but look down and blush.

“Well...” Kurt began. “Nate the player finally has a girl worth keeping.” Addison laughed.

“Mr. Officer here has been converted.” Addison joked. Nathan blushed.

“Alright guys. Enough Nate bashing for now. Kurt, you don't want me using what I've got against you in front of Addie.” He continued and looked at Addison. “And you... Tread lightly Sweetheart 'cause I might just have to cuff you.” Addison laughed out loud.

“Kinky!” Kurt began. “I like!” Nathan joined in with Addison's giggles.

Addison was delightfully surprised to see Nathan waiting for her outside after her first class. He had walked her over to her second class and told her that he'd be waiting for her to take her home when she was done, leaving her with a tender kiss that tingled her lips for the next few minutes.
