Chapter 3

CONNIE'S P.O.V

I woke up the following morning, feeling a little disorientated, still not fully aware that this was my new home. I began scrambling out of the bed, and had gotten half way out, before I realized where I was. Slowly, as not to wake snoring beauty next to me, I climbed back under the duvet, letting my eyes drift back shut.

"Con's, what's wrong"? He murmured, his hot breath whispering against the nape of my neck.

"Nothing, I just kinda forgot where I was". I giggled softly, turning into his already open arms. "Guess this'll take a little getting used to"? I snuggled deep into his chest.

"If you need any help with that, you let me know, I'd be happy to come here more often". He smiled mischeviously.

"I think we spend enough time here as it is". I laughed back. "So, what's your plans for today"?

"Well, WE have to go shopping". He replied with an added sigh.

"Ohh goody, I love shopping". I answered, laughing at his pain stricken face.

"Arrhh, but not that kind of shopping, we need to buy groceries and some things for tonight". He replied.

"Why, what's happening tonight"?

"We are having a barbeque, to mark some special occasion, but I can't remember what it was". He rubbed his eyes in thought, teasing me.

"I don't think I knew about any special occasion. Did I forget someone's birthday"? I teased back.

"If you did, I did". He laughed. "C'mon, up you get". He climbed slowly out of the bed, his warmth seeping away from me.

"Do you have to spoil moments like this". I pretended to act annoyed. He ignored me and headed toward the bathroom to get showered.

I heard the shower turn on, now if I'd been more awake, I'd have possibly gotten up and got in the shower with him, or done something a little evil and turned the hot tap on to take away the heat, but as it was, I couldn't be bothered and hiding my head in his pillow, smelling in his scent was a much better idea. 5 minutes later, he reappeared, wearing a pair of jeans and a towel drying his mousey blonde hair.

"Am I gonna have to come over there and get you outta bed"? He asked me, smiling mischeviously.

"Depends what you're gonna do when you get over here"? I replied, just as mischiviously, receiving a frown in return. "Ok, I'm up". I crawled from underneath the bed sheets. "Stick in the mud". I mumbled.

"What"? He raised his eye brows as I headed passed him.

"Hum"? I retorted.

"What did you say"? he looked at me skeptically.

"Nothing". I replied innocently, heading into the bathroom.

"Do I have to force it outta you"? He put his arm around my waist, and dragged me into his arms.

"I didn't say anything". But my laughter gave me away.

"Really"? He dragged me to the bed, tossing me down, before straddling my stomach and grasping both of my wrists in one hand and leaning backwards and beginning to tickle my feet. I erupted in laughter and began squirming.

"Ok, ok, I called you a stick in the mud". I screamed, tears rolling from my eyes and laughter spilling from my lungs.

"That's what I thought you said". He stopped tickling me.

"What you knew? Then why might I ask, did you have to torture me"? I was still trying not to laugh.

"For the fun of it". He answered, realizing his grip on my wrists.

"Well I'm doing this for the fun of it". I rolled him off me and pulled myself up onto him, then leant forward and planted an array of kisses on his lips.

Half an hour later, we managed to pull away from each other and get dressed. Pete had called and said he was quite happy to have the kids for the rest of the day, until tonight, which suited me, as shopping would be a hell of a lot easier without them nagging, well Kelly nagging and Tyler complaining he was bored.

I followed Adam around the shop, as he put any old thing into the shopping cart. I think the only things he knew he needed was the buns and the burgers and sausages. Eventually I took over and began putting the things I thought we'd actually need in the trolley.

"Am I to take it you don't exactly do this often"? I giggled as I shook my head at his suggestion of a suede.

"I think I've only ever done this twice". He laughed back.

After we had gotten everything we could possibly need, we headed to the checkout and began piling everything on the conveyor belt. As the cashier began putting things through, Adam went and packed the bags, not that he was doing it right, but you know, you had to give him credit, he was like a shopping virgin.

"That'll be $90 please". I dug in my pocket and pulled out my credit card and handed it to her.

"Wait what are you doing"? Adam stumbled passed the trolley trying to pull his wallet out at the same time.

"Would you believe I'm paying. They kinda have a rule here that all goods have to be paid for". I laughed.

"You're not paying". He was about to hand the cashier his card. I took his card from his grip and nodded for the cashier to carry on with the transaction.

When she had finished, she handed me my card and receipt. I turned to Adam who was still stood behind me, I pushed him forward, guiding him out of the shop, back to car where we began putting the bags in the trunk.

"What was all that about in there"? I asked quizzically.

"I just don't want you paying for things like this". He told me.

"Adam, it was one measly bill, nothing compared to how much you have spent this last month. I have to pay my way, I'm not going to rely on you to pay for everything".

"But"... He began.

"No, Adam. The whole point of us living together, was to share everything, including bills. I don't care what you say, I'm going to pay for everything I, Kelly or Tyler use. I didn't move here so that you could support us".

After that little dispute, everything seemed settled. We got home and put the shopping away, then I headed upstairs to get some unpacking done, mainly because I didn't have anything left to wear, that wasn't packed into a suitcase. I had busied myself that much, I hadn't realized Adam was stood in the doorway, leaning on the door frame, well that was until he made his presence known.

"I didn't mean to belittle you earlier, it's just that, this whole thing was my idea, I didn't want to make you feel pressured into paying for anything". He told me, sitting himself next to my suitcase.

"You didn't. I just don't want you having to support me. I didn't move here expecting you to pay for everything, and the last thing I wanted was for you to think I did". I stepped closer to him, resting my arms over his shoulders. "Ok"? I kissed his forehead gently.

"Ok". He pulled me into his lap, holding me close. "I love you, you know". He whispered gently, his breath tickling my inner ear.

"It's a good job". I laughed. He gave me a quick squeeze. "Cause I love you too". I finished, kissing the corner of his mouth gently.

"C'mon, we better get a move on, otherwise we'll never be ready for tonight". He told me.

"Ok, I'll just get changed and I'll be right with you". I answered, standing up and reaching inside my suitcase for some clothes.

An hour later, Emma and Guy were on our doorstep, followed soon after by Julie and Charlie. The guys went out and decided to help Adam with the barbeque, whilst Emma and Julie stayed in the kitchen chatting with me.

"So what do you think to your new home"? Emma asked me as she ripped the lettuce.

"I can't honestly believe I live here. It's amazing, never in a million years did I think I'd be living in the posh area of Minnesota". I laughed, as the phone began ringing, I knew Adam would get it as he had the cordless outside.

"You're actually a prepsie now, you know". Julie told me, as we all cracked out laughing.

"Connie". Adam stood in the doorway, a solemn look on his face.

Ohh what's wrong??? PLEASE R&R!!!!
