? Exhausted:
Addison got home late that evening. Throwing her duffel bag by the door and plopping face first on the sofa. She used her feet to kick off her shoes and buried her face in a throw pillow.
This week kicked her butt! Not only was Bucky forcing the squad to do double practices, she had volunteered to help with the junior cheer camp in the evenings. There wasn't a chance she would miss helping Zoey get better at cheer.
Her mother raised an eyebrow from across the kitchen at her.
"You ok in there Addison?" She called. Addison yelled something in response with his face still in the pillow, so it was so muffled that her mom couldn't even guess what she said. "Come again Sweetie?" She questioned. Addison lifted her head and repeated.
"I don't think I've been this tired in my life!" She whined, before plopping her face back down. Her mother giggled and returned to the dishes she had started.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Addison didn't move. Her mom raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to go get that?" She questioned her daughter. Addison groaned but rolled off the couch and slunk to the door.
She took a deep breath and let it out before opening the door. She was shocked to see Zed and Zoey holding flowers and chocolates smiling at her.
"Surprise!" They exclaimed together. Zoey jumped at her for a hug. Addison picked her up and hugged her, giving Zed a questioning look over her shoulders. He chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
"Do you want to come in?" Addison asked, stepping aside as Zed entered, giving her a kiss on the cheek as he passed. Zoey snickered and whispered in Addison's ear.
"Be careful Addison or Zed will give you cooties!" She and Addison giggled, following Zed into the living room.
"Good evening Mrs. M!" Zed greeted Addy's Mom as he walked into the kitchen with the bouquet of tulips.
"What a nice surprise! Hello Zed! Oh and Zoey too!" Missy said with a smile, grabbing a vase to put the flowers in.
"Hello!" Zoey exclaimed happily. Zed turned towards Addison and Zoey as he placed the flowers in the vase.
"We know that Addison has worked really hard this week and we thought it might be nice to have a movie night to help you relax!" Zed explained, as he walked back into the living room with Addison.
"You did all this for me?" She asked, beaming up at him. He smiled and nodded excitedly.
"That sounds very nice! You kids enjoy a movie while your Father and I will be upstairs." Missy told them, smiling and exiting to the stairs.
"We picked out a movie and everything!" Zoey exclaimed, hopping out of Addison's arms and rushing over to Zed, pulling the disc out of his jacket pocket. The young girl showed it to her.
"Ah, Frozen huh?" Addison raised an eyebrow towards Zed, who shrugged and walked over to the couch to plop down.
"Zoey's choice! It's her fave right now." He explained, then patted the cushion next to him to invite her to sit. She smiled and plopped down beside him, leaning against his side with his arm draped over her shoulders. Then he leaned down as Zoey was placing the disc into the DVD player. "Now you just relax. And when Zoe isn't looking, maybe you can steal a couple kisses." He whispered. Addison giggled, leaning up and kissing his lips.
"Thanks for this Zed. It's just what I needed." She whispered back, a soft smile never leaving her lips for the rest of the evening.
