Addie.

Growing up I never believed in miracles, all my life from the point I could remember I had to work for everything I wanted.

The foster home I grew up did not believe in nurturing us to dream so I'm a girl with her feet firmly planted in the ground. No castles in the sky for me.

But today in bed with Levi Carter, watching his sleeping face in front of mine, I finally admitt to myself that there is a God in heaven and he is finally on my case.

His lashes flutter as he takes a deep breath and nuzzles deeper into my arm, I giggle softly, he frowns and goes back to sleep.

I'm selfish, I admit, feeling things for this man that I know is not mine, having a crush is one thing, falling head first is another.

I should probably safeguard my heart but I want to be selfish, for once in my life I want something that is not mine, I want it so bad.

I lift my other hand that his head is not on top and trace the curve of his lip.

He twitches them and I giggle again.

"You are the most pretty man alive" I say softly.

"I know, I trained him myself" A voice says behind me and I turn slowly.

It's Aaron. 

"He wanted me to watch over you from over here"

"Thank you"

"Are you feeling much better?"

"Yeah, did something happen?" He opens his mouth to respond but Levi gently pulls my head down to his.

"Please, not another word" He says sleepily and my heart melts.

This is something I don't see when I watch his commercials or any of his matches.

I turn to look at Aaron and he looks away after winking at me, he closes his eyes and lays his head back.

"Go easy on him" He says and I turn to Levi, he is looking at me with sleepy eyes.

"Do you feel it?" He asks softly and I nod, he strokes my hair off my face, his eyes following the action and I close my eyes.

My treacherous heart beating very fast.

"I'm glad we met, I'm glad" He says again and I feel my throat lock up against the tears that threatens to spill from my eyes.

I look away, my eyes settling on a spot behind his back and I pull myself together.

"Are you ok now?" He asks and I frown.

"Did something happen while I was sleeping?"

"You were shaking"

"Ohh, I'm sorry, it's pretty normal, it happens to me whenever it rains, I'm not a big fan of rain too, it doesn't hurt me or anything"

"I don't like it"

"It's fine, When I was about 5, that's when it started, I can't remember every thing but I think I was locked up in a barrel and almost drowned from rain pouring into it, ever since that time I've had a phobia for rain water"

He nods, his eyes furious on my behalf.

"It's alright, I'm fine now" He nods before asking.

"Was that the incident that took your sister away from you?"

"What?" I ask confused.

"You sister, I heard she died when you were about 5 years old".

I nod noncommittaly and he nods too.

Thunder crashes into the window and I squeal, hiding my face in his shoulder.

He becomes still and I slowly lift my head. His eyes go to my lips and he pulls closer.

I pull away and he immediately does too, I feel guilty, enjoying his touch and presence when he is not mine.

I have to tell him that he has the wrong person, that he made a mistake but I can wait, just one more day.

It's raining now and there is no place for me to go, just one more day.

He pulls me closer and I go willingly, just one more day, I can pretend he is mine.

"You smell nice" He says in my ear and I giggle.

"What?" He asks.

"Your breath, it tickles, I'm extra sensitive around my ears" 

"Ha, I should remember to do that every time" He says and my heart clenches but I respond.

"You should"

We stay lying like that for a while and I think how weird it is that I am extremely comfortable with this man I met yesterday, In person.

 

******

Adeline.

"Where did you learn how to cook?" Aaron asks as he takes another bite of his roasted chicken.

It's still raining and the weather forecaster said it's not going to end for like another 12 hours.

I decided to make something since we very well can't survive on bread.

I made roasted chicken tenders and toasted bread paired with ham and cheese with bell peppers and garlic.

It's superb., i took into consideration that as athletes they have a very strict diet. 

"Well....?" Aaron asks again waiting for a reply.

"My Fos.....," I stop, my eyes going to Levi's, he doesn't seem notice my slip up. 

"My mother taugh me how, she said it's an essential skill for a woman to learn" I say and they both nod.

"Well, thanks for learning this essential skill, I and my stomach are eternally grateful" Aaron replies. 

I smile and stand up to get our dishes, they follow me to the kitchen as I load the dish washer.

I begin to wash and I freeze when I feel hands on my stomach, just above my abdomen.

"Don't let me distract you, please carry on" Levi says quietly, his face going to my neck.

My eyes flies to Aaron's and he just stretches out his hand for the plate I am holding.

He doesn't find this weird at all, I begin to relax and we do the dishes.

We go back to the sitting room when I am done and Aaron grabs the remote and tunes in to a football game.

I begin to sit away from them but Levi pulls me and I land on his lap with a little oomph.

He settles me between his legs and throws an afghan around our legs, he pulls my head back to rest on his chest and it's surprisingly warm and comfortable.

I relax into the game and soon my inner football freak comes out.

"Oh no, that referee needs to be banned from ever refereeing again, did you see how he ignored the lines man?! And a red card? Who does that?!!" I yell at the TV and get greeted  by silence

. Oops, did I yell too much?

"How do you know so much about football?"Aaron asks and I chuckle nervously.

" I knew it! You must be a secret fan of mine! "He says excitedly and Levi throws a remote at his head.

" If she is anybody's fan it would be me, idiot "He says and Aaron grumbles, mimicking him when he turns away.

I laugh softly as we go back to the game and the rain patters against the roof.

Not once did I become scared of the numerous thunder and lightning.
