Adeline Carter's POV

I wake up to see that Matéo is still in my bed.

I unwrap his arms from around me and get out of bed.

I grab my clothes and everything else I'll need after I take a shower and head to the bathroom.

I quickly take a shower and brush my teeth, before wearing my clean clothes.

I look in the mirror and decided that I look good enough.

I walk out of my room to see that Matéo is already up and out of my bed.

He must have gone downstairs already.

I grab my bag and head down the stairs.

I kiss Sofia on the cheek and say good morning to her.

My parents and brother left yesterday morning, before I got up.

I make eye contact with Matéo and his eyes glide down my body slowly and then back up to my eyes.

He bites his lip slowly and stands upright.

He looks good.

"Let's go" he says

"Let's go" he says. I nod and he follows me out of the kitchen.

He holds the door open for me and we step out.

We get into the car and he starts to drive.

I get out a textbook and go over some notes.

Without warning, he reaches his hand out and grabs my thigh.

I look at him and he focuses on the road, one hand on the wheel.

From the corner of his lips, I see a small smirk.

I shift a bit, willing myself not to react to him.

His thumb rubs circles on my skin and I glare at him.

"I'm trying to concentrate!" I say exasperatedly.

He chuckles.

"I'm not apologising for how good you look. I'm marrying you." he shrugs.
