Two weeks had passed and Thanksgiving weekend was upon them. Addison hadn't improved much, from what her parents were saying. He knew that Addison had tried to call him on her first night away but he wasn't ready to talk to her just yet. Her leaving him broke his heart. He knew she loved him and he loved her more than anyone he'd ever known. He simply didn't know what to do anymore. He knew that distance was needed but two weeks was too long for him. He had to see her.
Addison spent the day helping her mother get their Thanksgiving feast prepared. She was about done setting the table when her mother came in and told her that they had an unexpected guest and that she should set an extra setting. Addison never asked who simply because she was used to her parents having extras pop on by during events such as these. As she rushed to the kitchen to get all she needed for the additional place setting, she heard the doorbell ring. She headed for the dinning room to continue her business.
“Hello gorgeous!” Addison heard. She smiled and turned around.
“Get over here lady!” She told Krissy and noticed Kurt pop into the room after her. “You're here?” She blurted out in surprise.
“Kris convinced me to come and visit this time around.” He explained. “Happy Thanksgiving Addie.” He told her and hugged her lightly. It felt so good to see some friends finally. She might have been home for over two weeks but she still had yet to visit with any of the girls. She'd been too busy secluding herself, thinking about Nathan and dealing with overcoming Kyle's attack.
“How's Nathan?” She finally asked him.
“He misses you. I've been trying to get him out and about and he just wants to stay home and veg.” Kurt told her. “He's really worried about you.” Addison looked down.
“I know. I called him...” She began and turned away from them so she could regain her composure and stifle her tearing eyes.
“I should have answered.” She heard coming from behind her. She froze and turned around slowly. She found herself face-to-face with Nathan. “I'm sorry.” He told her and rushed right up to her. Addison's jaw dropped in shock.
“Wha..?” She began but her mouth hung in the air. She closed her mouth and then opened it but then closed it again when nothing came out. Nathan grabbed her hands in his.
“I couldn't stay away.” He told her. “Addie, I had to see you.” She began to cry silently. “I need you Addie. I love you.” He said as tears welled in his eyes. Addison let go of his hands and wrapped them around his face.
“I need you too.” She told him. “I...” She never finished. Nathan's lips crashed into hers in one of those knee buckling numbers. It was the sweetest kiss she had ever had that started with an insatiable hunger and then slowed down to a full-blown respectful and romantic embrace. He pulled away enough to see her eyes.
“I love you too.” She told him. He gave her one of his prize-winning smiles.
A few moments later, they were all seated in the sitting room chatting things up. Addison formally introduced Nathan to her parents.
“I resent the fact that you have all been talking to one another without my knowing but it definitely makes all of this introduction thing much easier.” She told them all.
“Nathan, I can't thank you enough for looking after our little girl.” Mark, Addison's father told him as he shook Nathan's hand.
“She makes it easy.” Nathan looked at her and pulled her into a hug.
“Dinner's ready!” Amy, Addison's mother called out.
They were seated around the dinner table, smiles all around. It felt amazing to be surrounded with all the people she loved. This was the one place that Addison wanted to be. She turned back to her plate and noticed Nathan being fidgety from the corner of her eye, to the left of her. She put her left hand on his thigh, looked at him and smiled sweetly. He appeared to calm right down with her touch. His leg felt warmer under her touch. She couldn't help but tighten her grip for a split second before she removed her hand.
Nathan felt the searing heat from Addison's hand and then the coolness returning to his skin once she removed her hand. He grabbed it and put it back onto his leg, palm facing up. He tantalized her palm with his fingers gingerly with a variety of patterns. He noticed Addison's breath became more labored and she swallowed hard. She tried to close her hand but he gently pressed his hand into hers and interlaced their fingers.
“Is everything alright with you two?” Amy asked both he and Addison. “You've barely touched your plates and we're going for seconds.
“I think these two are wanting to get reacquainted, Mrs. P.” Krissy teased. Amy looked at her confused.
“Kris!” Addison looked at her best friend with eyes that could of shot daggers.
“What?” Krissy gave her an innocent face. Nathan couldn't help but stuff food in his mouth to snuff out his giggles. He always wondered as to how those two became friends seeing as they were such opposites.
Later that evening, they were seated in the living-room, chatting up a storm with the football game playing in the background. They talked, laughed and even went without football and turned on the Wii and played a few racing games. It was getting late and Kurt, Krissy and Nathan got up to leave. Addison followed them to the front door.
“You're not leaving?” Amy asked Nathan. Nathan nodded.
“I have a hotel room at the Sheraton downtown.” He told her.
“Nonsense!” Mark told him. “Call the hotel, cancel your reservation and you can stay here.”
“I suppose I can swing that.” He looked over at Addison. She nodded. “Kurt, I'll grab my bag out of the car and you guys can go ahead without me. Thanks Mr. Parker.”
“Call me Mark.” He told him.
“Thanks Mark.” He repeated.
Addison found herself wide awake. She couldn't sleep; she couldn't find a comfortable position. She could hear Nathan huffing in the room next to hers. Evidently, he couldn't sleep either. She sat up in bed. She felt conflicted. All she wanted was to run her fingers over his chest, to kiss him all over and show him how much she had missed him. She let herself fall back onto her bed and let out a loud breath. Damn it! She threw the blankets off of her, jumped out of bed and left her room.
Nathan couldn't sleep. All he wanted was to hold Addison. He could hear her rolling around in her room. She couldn't sleep either, or so it seemed but he wasn't going to go and knock on her door. He couldn't wait to be alone with her but he seriously wasn't looking to be on her father's bad side. He stared up at the ceiling until he heard a light knock on his bedroom door. He got up to open. Addison stood there in her little satin night dress. He opened the door the entire way. They stood there, looking at each other.
“Can't sleep?” He asked her. She shook her head and walked over to him. He shivered as her hands ran down his chest to his abs. He also noticed that his reaction amused her. “Addie.” He whispered.
“Nathan.” She whispered on his lips before she kissed him lightly and then pulled away. He had to stop this from getting any further. And then she pressed her satiny body on his and his arms wrapped themselves around her and his mouth found hers again. She parted her soft warm lips and allowed his tongue entry to dance with hers. He kissed her with all the emotions that lingered in his body from earlier that day. She went limp in his arms with a sensual moan. He held her up and pulled away to look at her. She had a look of lust for him, in her eyes.
“Addie, I don't think this is the place.” Nathan began.
“Shut up.” She told him. “I can't wait. I need you right here, right now.” And with that, he picked her up and carried her to his bed. That night, he made slow, mad and passionate love to her. It was the best damn experience of his life, especially when they climaxed simultaneously as Addison had to bite down on his shoulder to stifle her moans. That night, it was like they had made love for the first time. They fell asleep in each other's arms. Nathan knew that he was home; he felt whole again. Man did he love her.
