July, Thursday 29th
When Pete began to wake up the next morning he could feel Addison's warm body pressed close to his and he stirred slightly before he buried his face into her hair from behind and pulled her near again. She gave a soft murmur and curled her body into his as she tangled her legs with his. He breathed in her scent before he blinked a few times as the sunlight was shining in bright through the windows.
"Morning." Addison whispered and kissed his cheek.
"Morning beautiful." He gave a tired smile.
"I enjoyed last night." She grinned.
"Hmm, so did I." He smiled at her. Addison ran her hand over his bare chest as they lay skin to skin. Pete smiled and placed a kiss on her lips as he softly caressed her hip bone. She gave a contented sigh and closed her eyes again. "I had this brilliant idea about how to spend the day today."
"Hmm, I only have one lesson today so tell."
"You skip and we stay in bed all day."
"Very tempting." She grinned.
"Is it?" He smirked.
"Oh yes."
Pete smiled and leaned down to kiss her.
"I love you so much." she whispered.
"I love you even more."
"Hmm, no."
"Mhm." he mumbled and nodded.
"No." Addison leaned up and kissed him.
"I do." He kissed her back.
"No, you don't."
"How do you know?"
"I just do." She grinned. "Trust me."
"Clearly you have no idea how much I love you." Pete smiled and kissed her again. Addison gave a soft giggle as they kissed sweetly. He smiled against her lips and shifted so she lay on top of him. Her hands rested on his chest as they didn't break the kiss once. He placed his hands on her lower back and they continued to kiss softly.
"I love you." Addison whispered. "So much."
"And I love you." Pete smiled.
"Would you like to cook your gorgeous wife some breakfast?" Addison grinned.
"My gorgeous wife?" He raised his eyebrows.
"That's what you were telling me last night."
"I know." Pete smirked and pecked her lips again. "Because you're so gorgeous and you're mine."
"I am. All yours." She agreed.
"I'm so lucky." He smiled before he sat up with her on top of him.
"Very lucky." Addison looked into his eyes.
"The luckiest guy in the world right now." Pete pecked her lips before he reached for one of his shirts next to the bed and handed it to her. She grinned before she slipped the shirt over her head and got off of him. Pete put on a pair of boxers before he got up from their bed.
"What are you going to make for me?" Addison smiled softly as she followed him into the kitchen.
"Hmm, have to look what we've got." He smiled and opened the fridge.
"Pancakes?" She hopped up onto one of the kitchen stools.
"Okay." He nodded and got everything from the fridge. Addison smiled and watched him cook. Pete walked over to the counter and mixed everything together before he put it on the stove.
"Where did you learn to cook?"
"I don't know." He shrugged. "I'm a natural, you know."
"You are." She smiled.
Pete smiled as he turned the pancakes. "My mum taught me some things, the rest I learnt by myself I guess."
"Well, I'm glad you can cook." She smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist. Pete smiled as well and placed one of his hands on top of hers. Addison linked their fingers together and kissed his shoulder as she watched him make them pancakes.
Later that day, Addison was in the living room reading a magazine while Pete was in the bedroom looking for something. He rummaged through his nightstand drawer before he walked over to Addison's and looked through hers. He frowned as he came across a large book before he pulled it out. He opened it carefully and looked down at a photo of him and Addison on the first page. It was of the night they had gotten married. It was taken in the chapel and they looked at each other and they seemed happy. They were both staring into each other's eyes and nothing about the photo seemed fake.
Pete looked down at the book before he sat down on the bed and turned the page. There were more photos of the two of them. There were a few taken by photographers in clubs, a few taken from Naomi and Sam, a few with their parents, their wedding party, Addison's birthday. There were photos from everything they had done together. Pete smiled softly as he looked through the book before he stood up and carried it into the living room.
"Hey." Addison smiled softly up at him.
"Hey." He smiled back and held the book up. "What's that?"
Her eyes dropped down to the photo album before back up at his face. "Just a photo album I made." She shrugged.
"I didn't know." He sat down on the couch and opened it again.
"I know." Addison nodded and watched him. He nodded as well and continued to look at the pictures. "Do you…do you like it?" she asked hesitantly and bit her lip.
"I do." He smiled softly.
"I'm glad." Addison smiled relieved. "I thought it would be nice to just record our time together."
"I have a few as well." Pete got up from the couch before he walked over to the table and opened a school book where he kept a few photos in.
"Really?" she smiled softly and took the photos from him as he sat back down.
"One of my favourites." He pointed at a photo that was taken from a mobile camera of them sat in the canteen in school and they both pulled a funny face.
"Oh god." Addison laughed. "I didn't know anyone had taken a photo of that day."
"Well, Sam did." Pete smiled.
"Very sneaky."
"Very." He smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Maybe I could add your photos to this photo album? Then we'd have one."
"Sure." He nodded and continued to look through the album. Addison smiled before she looked through the photos Pete had collected. "I never knew this existed." Pete looked down at a picture of them kissing at Addison's parents' anniversary party.
"That photo or the album?" she questioned and looked at him.
"Both."
"I thought that after we split I'd still have a memory of us." She shrugged. "Mum took that photo of us. She thought we'd like it."
"You're so cute." Pete turned his head and looked at her.
"Because I made a photo album? Most wives do." She shrugged.
"Happily married wives." He pointed out and looked back down at the album.
"I just wanted a memory of our time together." Addison shrugged again.
"Fine, sorry, it's not cute." He rolled his eyes.
"I'm not saying it's not cute." She looked at him. "I just wanted a memory because I was sure you'd never look back again."
"I would have though." He didn't look at her.
"Really?" She looked at him.
"Of course." He shrugged. Addison smiled softly before she kissed his cheek. Pete gave a smile before he closed the album.
"So you like it?"
"I do." He nodded.
"I'm glad." She smiled softly.
"I had no idea you were making something like that."
"Should I have told you?"
"I don't know. I just didn't think you'd do something like that. I didn't think you'd care."
"But I do." She looked at him. "I care so much." Pete looked back at her and nodded. "I love you." Addison smiled softly at him.
"And I love you." He smiled back and put the album on the coffee table before he turned to face her and wrapped his arms around her. She grinned and snuggled into his side before she breathed in his scent. He dropped a kiss on the top of her head and held her close.
"I should buy a bigger photo album." she whispered.
"You should buy at least five bigger photo albums." He smiled softly.
Addison laughed softly. "Okay, I will." Pete smiled and leaned down to kiss her lips. Her eyes fluttered close as she softly kissed him back.
"I love you." he whispered against her lips.
"And I love you."
Pete smiled and pulled her even closer as he softly kissed her again. She wrapped her arms around his neck as they continued to kiss. He kept his arms tightly around her body, their lips fused together.
"I love you so much." she whispered.
"And I love you so, so, so much."
Addison grinned and continued to kiss him tenderly.
"Want to go back to bed?" he whispered.
"Hmm, yes, very much."
Pete smiled against her lips and got up from the couch before he lifted her up in his arms and carried her into their bedroom. She gave a small giggle and nuzzled her nose against his. He smiled softly and held her securely in his arms before he laid her down in the middle of their bed. Addison lay on her back and smiled up at him. Pete smiled back before he leaned down and placed a few soft kisses on her lips.
"You're so cute." she giggled.
"Why am I cute?" He smiled.
"You just are."
"Well, I'm glad." He kissed her again. Addison grinned and pulled him closer. Pete parted her lips with his tongue and slipped his hands under her shirt.
"Ahhhh, cold hands." She instantly pushed his hands off her warm skin.
"Sorry." He pulled away and looked at her. Addison looked up at him and pouted. "It's not my fault I have cold hands." He looked back at her.
"Come here." She pulled him closer before she covered them with the quilt. Pete gave a small sigh and looked down at his hands. "You need to warm up." Addison smiled and took hold of his hands. He just sat and watched her. "We need to warm you up." She began to place kisses on his hands. Pete smiled softly and watched her quietly as she tried to warm his hands up. "Why are you so cold?" she looked at him.
"I don't know." He shrugged.
"Poor you." She pulled him even closer.
"It's okay." He smiled softly. Addison leaned forward and kissed him. He closed his eyes and kissed her back.
"I love you so much."
"I love you, too."
She grinned and rolled onto his front. Pete kept his hands on his sides and looked up at her. "I still can't believe that you're mine."
He smiled softly at her words. "Why not?"
"I never thought it would happen."
"It did though. And you won't get rid of me easily now."
"I don't ever want to." She smiled and kissed him again.
"I'm glad." he whispered and kissed her back.
"I love you so, so, so much."
"I love you even more than that."
Addison grinned and kissed him again. Pete kissed her back and placed his hands on her sides. They continued to kiss sweetly as they lay under the covers together.
