This house is as big as a museum and just as cold too .it's beautiful ,quiet and immaculate ,with a hushed quality to it that truthfully scares the shit out of me .

Addison keeps stealing glances in my direction to gag my reaction and i almost laugh out loud ,i wonder how she'll react when she finds out my family has five houses like this one and more-with my dad having two companies and many hotels around the world ,and mom owning her own firm in New York 

The door shuts behind us with a finality that sends a chill down my spine and i follow Addison down a wide hall covered with various Family photos .I hear voices coming from the room at the end of the short hall and then we're there .in a giant living room with an entire wall of windows.

And then i focus on the people sitting there ,the man -which i guess is Addison's dad -draws his long ,thin body from the plush dark brown velvet and approaches us  with quick steps and the others following behind 

He draws Addison in his arms grinning "I'm so glad you're here Charlie Bear "he murmurs in her hair and she groans pulling back quickly without returning the embrace and throwing her arms around the tall dark haired guy next to her father which makes me tense immediately ,he hugs her tight smiling big and making me want to punch him 

"enough ,let me have some love "a teenage girl who i guess is Lola says pulling Addison away from the guy and launching herself at her ,making Addison giggle with a look of full joy in her face 

Then Addison murmurs a quick hello to the tall lean women standing next to her father and who i guess is the step mother, and the brunette next to her who's a younger version of her and who's her eyes never left my body 

after finishing all her greeting ,i draw Addison close to my body ,squeezing her hip and kissing her head and drawing everyone's attention on me 

"Dean this is dad "she said and i shook his hand firmly murmuring hello and After Addison completed all the introductions she cleared her throat "this is Dean ,my boyfriend "

there was gasps all around us and a look of disbelieve on her father's face 

"Nice to meet you all" i smiled at the family and Lola sighed with a dreamy look on her face 

"you never told me you had a boyfriend ,you just said you're bringing a friend "her father said his voice angry and disappointed as he focused his hard gaze on his daughter 

"i don't see the need in talking to you about my personal life "Addison retorted her face relaxed and a smug grin clear on her face 

"A boyfriend ! when did that happen ?"Ashley said a look of disbelief on her face 

"why's that so hard to believe !"Addison questioned glaring at her stepsister 

"she's the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen ,and i'm still shocked that she is my girlfriend "i said smiling softly at her beaming face and drawing her closer to my chest 

"isn't that cheesy "Ashley muttered rolling her eyes 

"i'm sure Addison and Dean are tired from their trip "Lola said taking my and Addison's arms "i'll show you to your rooms " she said dragging us out the room and down the hallway

Addison's Pov 

The second we walk out of the living room ,i exhale a huge sigh of relief .I still can't believe hos Ashley and dad acted ,i feel really embarrassed and i don't know what Dean is thinking 

Lola stops in front of the guest room and turn with a shy smile toward Dean "this is you "

Dean flashes her his weakening smile and she swoons making me roll my eyes ,he's not going to give her a break 

"why don't we share the same room !"he whined giving me the puppy face and drawing me closer to him 

"because Dad will have a heart attack ,i don't stand the guy but i'm not planning on killing him"

he sighed "Fine ,take some rest and i'll see you in the morning "he said dropping a long kiss on my lips ,i kissed him back hungrily then remembered Lola is still standing there so i draw back quickly making Dean groan 

"we're not alone "i murmured when he tried to kiss me again and looked back at Lola to find out she's standing there with a huge smile on her face

Reluctantly Dean let go of me and walked inside his room ,as soon as his door was closed Lola grabbed my hand and practically dragged me to the next door where i always stayed when i was here ,it was huge with white walls and a king sized bed in the middle with white sheets ,a dresser ,a simple love seat and a closet .it was simple and lifeless because i never bothered to add my own touches to it .

"OH MY GOD "Lola shrieked closing the door behind her and turning with wide eyes and a huge smile "he's so freaking hot "

I laughed lightly at her enthusiasm and sat on the bed pulling my bag up next to me .

"And he's in love with you "she said sitting next to me

I rolled my eyes "he's not ,we just started dating "

"You can't argue with me in this ,The guy didn't pull his eyes away from you ,he absolutely adores you .i know love when i see it "she says

"Oh and i'm supposed to listen to the girl who never had a boyfriend before "I teased .It's not like there wasn't any demands on her before ,the girl was gorgeous so she had guys running after her ,but she couldn't date until she was seventeen ,a stupid dad rule according to what she said .

A serious look crossed her face "i'm really happy to see that you've moved on "she said squeezing my hand 

I squeezed her hand back "it's not exactly moving on ,but i'm getting there .i'm not having the nightmares anymore "i gave her a smile and she threw her arms around me squealing and i laughed "it's not that big of a deal "

she pulled back to look at me "Are  you kidding ?this is huge progress "she said and pinched my cheek "and i really need to thank hot boy out there for putting this smile on your face "

i pulled back ,looking at my lap "He doesn't know "i muttered 

"what ?"

"He doesn't know anything about the accident "i said more clearly looking up at her 

Her eyes widened "He doesn't know about Chris ?"

i shook my head ,disappointed  that the mention of his name still brought a sting to my chest "i'm not ready for that yet "

"oh "she sat back ,her eyes searching my face "but you're going to ?"

i nodded "of course ,he deserves to know "i knew that part of moving on was being able to talk about the past ,but i wasn't there yet .
