OK so my transmission dropped out of my car so I'm stuck at home all day today. lucky for you that means I get to write all day! It will also be a short chapter this time but hope you enjoy none the less!

Adam helped Amore into the house and glared at the older boys. For some reason he believed they had tried to get her drunk, and had pretty much done that with just one drink.

He lead Amore to the couch and sat her down. As he started to walk away he felt Amore wrap a tiny hand around his wrist. He turned and smiled down at her. She lightly pulled on his wrist and he sat down next to her. she rested her head on his shoulder and put one leg over his. Charlie walked in and smirked.

"Don't say a word." Adam warned. he knew what this looked like, and frankly he didn't want Charlie ticking Amore off and cause her to move away from him. Charlie got out his phone and snapped a picture. he then sent it to Julie and Connie. he knew they were the only Ducks that thought it was sweet and not jump to conclusions.

Nick sat down on the other side of Amore. "Hey why don't you cuddle up to me?"

Adam tighter the grip he had around her waist, which only caused her to giggle.

"Calm down Allstar. he was only playing." Amore said but she brought herself closer to him, letting him know that she wasn't sure if Nick was playing around or not.

"So are you two together or what?" Nick asked eying Adam.

"Oh boy." Charlie said under his breath.

But to Adam's and Charlie's surprise, Amore giggled. "No, but he's fun to cuddle with."

Adam chuckled and lightly kissed her forehead. he knew she would regret all of this in the morning. But at that very moment, he could care less. It just felt good to have things back to the way they used to be. but f course it wouldn't stay that way. Tommy walked into the room carrying a twelve pack. Amore smiled and got to her feet.

Tommy handed a beer to her then offered one to the other two under age boys. Adam shook his head. he wasn't going to drink if Amore was. Some one had to watch her. he wasn't liking the idea of her being the only girl in the house with six guys they didn't know well.

Amore opened the beer and sat down on Adam's lap. she leaned into him and lightly nuzzled her nose in his neck. she knew he was highly ticklish there.

"Oh don't even start Squirt. You tickle me and I'll tickle back." Adam said grabbing her hips as a warning. Amore seemed to ponder that for a minute before lightly blew behind his ear. Adam at once put her in a head lock.

"That's still considered tickling!" Adam demanded. he held her in the headlock with one arm and tickled her side with the other. Charlie, who had taken the beer from Amore the second she started to horse play, took a sip of the beer and smirked. he hadn't seen then goof around like that since the summer before Eden Hall. it was good to see them like that. even though Charlie knew of wouldn't last till morning.

Amore got out of the head lock and punched Charlie in the arm.

"Ouch, what the hell was that for?" Charlie demanded as he watched Amore walk into the kitchen.

"For lack of help." Amore replied with a giggle. she messed around with something for a few seconds then camebl back in as music started to play. "Awe, now this is more like it."

"My kind of woman." Nick said getting to his feet and grabbing Amore from behind. Adam tensed but didn't move. he knew Amore didn't mind. and she would let him know when she did. She dsnced with him for a while then took a hold of Adam's hand. She pulled him close to her and pushed Nick away from her.

Adam took a hold of her hips when Nick attempted to get her back. He held up his hands letting the younger boy that he wasn't looking for a fight. But Tommy knew other wise. Nick was always looking for trouble. it wasn't in the boy's nature to behave.

Amore stumbled a bit and looked up at Adam. He knew the alcohol had taken full affect. he took Amore's hand and lead her towards the stairs.

"Go easy on her Banks." Nick called after them. "We need her for the game tomorrow."

Adam turned to snap back at him, but the small finger that took a hold of his belt loop stopped him. he turned and smiled at Amore as he lead her upstairs. Nick and the rest of his friends leftna short time later. Charlie on the other hand went straight to his computer to find Julie and Connie waiting for him.

"So? " Julie asked hopefully. Charlie smirked. that's all the girls needed. julie squealed and Connie let out a small sigh of relief.

"So where are they now?" Julie asked in a hushed voice as if scared that Amore or Adam would hear her.

"Upstairs." Charlie replied.

"Actually Charlie, Amore is upstairs." Adam said walking into the kitchen and walking to the sink to get a glass of water. "Hey Juls. hey Cons."

"Juls and Cons..." Julie said with a smirk.

"Shut up. and don't get ahead of yourself." Adam said with a smirk. "Lets just make sure she doesn't regret this in the morning."

Connie rolled her eyes. "If she does then send her my way and I'll knock some since into her."

"Yeah I'll get right on that." Adam said getting a pain killer bottle from one counter and headed back up stairs.

"Awe! He's gong to doctor her all night!" Connie said with a giggle.

"I heard that!" Adam called from the stairs.

"Stop talking to us Cake-eater and go take care of your girl." Charlie called after him.

"Screw off Charlie!" Amore could nearly be heard as she could hardly talk with out the feeling of getting sick. but Charlie was sure he heard her say something about knowing where he slept at night.

Adam walked into Amore's room and smirked. she had her head under her pillow, with her feet hanging off the side of the bed. He sat down on the edge of the bed and Amore slowly sat up. he handed her two advil and the glass of water.

"Thanks Banksie." Amore said then nudged him when he tensed at her calling him Banksie. "What would I do without you?"

"Wake up tomorrow with a hang over." Adam replied. he winked at her then went to his room. Amore changed into a pair of shorts and an Adam's old Jersey. the Banks Jersey he had thrown out his freshman year. but like he had done with hers once before. she saved it. she bit her lower lip and knocked on his door. she waited a while wondering if he'd answer. instead he told her to come in. Amore opened the door and shyly walked in. she blushed when she realized he was shirtless. Adam turned to face her when she didn't speak and smiled realizing she couldn't look at him.

"Mory, you've seen me shirtless before." Adam said walking up to her.

"Yeah back when I was fourteen and not under the influence of alcohol." Amore replied. "You weren't so good looking back then."

"Lier." Adam said with a smirk. he then noticed the Jersey. "You saved it?"

Amore looked up at him finally. "You saved mine once. I would have regretted throwing it away back then, so I figured you'd feel the same."

"But I only had to keep your's for a couple months." Adam said walking over to his bed and sat down. Amore sat next to him and placed her head on his shoulder.

"Yes, but you would have kept it longer of it had been necessary." Amore replied. Adam laid down on his bed and Amore laid her head on hos stomach like they used to do.

"I'm sorry Mory. for everything I have done." Adam said with a heavy sigh.

"I forgive you." Amore said as she smiled up at him. "I hurt you."

Adam smiled back. "So does this mean we are back to the way things were?"

Amore shrugged and lightly kissed his cheek. "Sadly I don't think things will ever be back to the way they were. good night Cake-eater."

Amore went to stand up but Adam brought her back to him.

"Stay here for the night." Adam said hopefully. "Like old times."

Amore smirked and cuddled up to him. "You still know my weakness for cuddling."

Adam chuckled. "Good thing for me."
