Adeline hopped down the stairs in a pair of comfortable blue shorts, tight white shirt, and her bunny slippers. She opened the front door and there stood Owen. She smiled and dragged him upstairs.
"Okay, what should we do for the project?", Adeline asked while hopping onto her bed. Owen stood there awkwardly in her lavender colored room. He looked at the twinkle lights hanging up and the pictures of her and her brothers. He saw how small she looked on her big bed. She had so many pillows and the comforter looked so big. "Owen, sit."
He was hesitant but she grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the bed. As she reached over to grab her bag, her shirt rose up a little and Owen saw the bruises. Adeline took her book out from her bag and smiled at him.
After they were halfway done with their project, Owen looked at the time and knew he had to leave. "Um, Adeline, I think it's time for me to leave." Adeline didn't want him to leave because she was having fun talking to him. Once he got up, she grabbed his hand and pulled him back. Owen tripped over her shoes and fell right on top of her.
"Don't leave. Please.", she whispered. Adeline wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Owen kissed her back as his hands roamed under her shirt.
Adeline moaned and started kissing his neck. "Owen. I think I like you."
"Well, if this is what you do for the guys you like, then I better snatch you up now.", she was confused but was surprised when Owen took off her shirt and started kissing her chest. "Owen, stop. It tickles."
He kissed his way up to her neck and left a couple of hickeys."Does this mean that I'm you're girlfriend?"
"Whatever you want, princess.", she blushed and grabbed her shirt.
"Then I think you should take me to go get ice cream."
Owen smirked and nodded. "Then let's go."
Adeline woke up and ran into Drew's room. He was surprised to see her in his room this early in the morning. "Dell, what are you doing in here?"
She smiled and laid on his bed. "What do you think of Owen? You were on the football team with him, right?"
"Why are you asking?", he saw the smile on her face and knew exactly what was going through her mind. "No, you can't date him. He's way older than you."
She scoffed and pouted. "But why? Maybe he can love me. If Eli doesn't love me, someone has to."
Drew sighed and sat down next to her. "Adeline, listen. You're beautiful and sweet. You don't need Owen to love you."
"It's just, I like him. Please.", he gave her a stiff smile and she knew what that meant. "Thank you. You know that I love you and Adam just the same but this put just a little bit ahead of him."
Just before she left his room, he stopped her. "You never showed me what happened." Adeline sighed before lifting her shirt up slightly, revealing the purple bruises on her silky skin. "Who did this? Was it Eli?"
She looked down and nodded. Drew was fuming. "I'm gonna kill him."
"No, leave him alone. Or I'll tell mom that you skip class to make out with Alli."
He rolled his eyes and let her leave the room.
As soon as Adeline was ready for school, she walked downstairs to see Adam and Drew already getting in the car. "Hey! What about me?"
Adeline skipped over to Owen's locker and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Hey princess." She blushed and tried to turn him around.
He looked at her with a smirk before sneaking a hand under her skirt.
"Owen! We can't do that. We're gonna get in trouble."
He sighed and pushed her against the locker. "We can do whatever we want."
She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Adeline stood on her toes as he turned his head to look at Anya as she walked past.
The small girl could feel the jealousy rise inside of her. She gripped onto Owen's chin and turned his head to look down at her.
Owen could see the tears in her eyes and scoffed. "Are you serious, Adeline?"
"You're looking at Anya. You probably like her and you're going to cheat on me.", Adeline felt like she couldn't breathe and Owen dragged her into the janitor's closet. "What the hell are you talking about?"
Using the sleeve of her sweater, actually Eli's sweater, to wipe away her tears. "Promise me you won't look at other girls."
Not knowing what kind of reaction she would have if he said no, he just nodded. "Say it, Owen."
"I promise."
Adeline sat outside during lunch and felt someone grip onto her chin and move it to the side. "What the hell, Addie? Why are there hickeys on your neck?"
She looked up and saw Eli standing there. "Because my boyfriend gave them to me."
"You have a boyfriend? Since when?", he said sitting across from her. "Since you implied that you didn't love me. Owen's gonna love me since you don't want to."
Eli brought her to his car and drove her to an alleyway. "Eli, why are you mad at me? You didn't love me so someone has to."
Adeline was already crying because she hated to have Eli mad at her. "I love you Addie but I'm wit-"
"Clare, I know. But I was here first. I've waited for so long. And you only talk to me at school because you see a hickey on my neck. Remember when you gave me my first hickey.", she said while climbing over the console onto his lap.
She ran her hands over his chest and dipped her head into his neck. "You were dating Julia and she got mad at you. So you came to my house and we watched movies. Then I kissed you and we made out. But then Julia called you so you left me."
Eli ran his hands up and down her back while her small figure shook on his lap. "Eli you have to take me back to school."
He nodded and drove with her on his lap. Once they arrived back at school, Owen sat on the stairs with his friends and a couple of girls. One of the girls was basically sitting on Owen's lap and Adeline got upset. She got of the car and walked straight to Owen. He looked up at her and sent her a smile.
Adeline frowned and sat on his lap. She snuggled into him just as he was getting up. He carried he over to a table and kissed her neck. "No kissing. You said no other girls."
Owen looked into her eyes, "I promised that I wouldn't look at other girls."
She let more tears fall from her eyes and struggled to get out of his arms. "Hey, calm down princess."
"Please, stop it. Owen I don't want you with any other girls. I don't like it. I want you to be with me. Please.", he looked into her big green eyes and sighed. "You're my first boyfriend. And I like you. I know I'm crazy to trust you but, if you keep hanging out with other girls I'm gonna cry."
Owen dragged her to his car and got in the backseat with her. "We've been dating for a day and you're already being jealous."
She looked at him with puppy dog eyes and whimpered, "Is that bad?"
"Well, for other girls it is but you're sweet, sexy, and smart. I don't care what you do as long as it's with me. Back on the topic of jealousy, why were you on Eli's lap?"
Adeline visually paled and fixed her shirt. "He wanted to know why I had hickeys and he's my best friend so I told him. Owen, do you want to have sex?"
Owen's eyes widened and he looked at the girl. "We're not having sex. You're a virgin, princess."
"How did you know that I was still a virgin?"
He looked down and knew what he said next would have her going crazy. "I was at in Drew's room while you were in yours, begging Eli to take your virginity so he could love you last week."
