I Hate This Flavor With a Passion.

Tony's point of view.

"I'm homeeeee! I brought gifts!" I heard Vic's high pitched voice from the front door. I didn't take my eyes off the TV until mike stood up.

"ADDIE!" He opened his arms and hugged her tightly... Why was she with Vic? Why didn't she call me ?

"Hey Mikey" she cooed in his ear, I wanted her in my arms so badly.

"A-add-die?" I stuttered getting off the sofa to hug her. She gave me a sad look and took me in her arms. My heart felt like it burst into flames and was going to beat out of my chest.

"Tortuga, I'm sorry I didn't call, we'll talk tonight" she whispered so no one could hear, her lips grazing my ear with every word sending shivers down my spine. I suddenly felt my nerves go haywire, what was she going to say tonight ? When were we going to speak?

"HIME TIME! Where are you?!" Addie shouted loudly walking towards the kitchen.

"In here Addie !" Hime yelled leaving me alone with Vic and mike. I wasn't happy that Vic had been with Addie alone.

"Vic what the fuck?" I whispered as mike went and asked Addie to have a cig with him.

"Whoa tony calm down ! It's not what your thinking" Vic out his hands up and pulled me up the stairs so no one followed us.

"Then what was that?! She came in with you looking absolutely stunning! Where were you both?" I hissed anger building inside me, he knew how I was feeling about her.

"Tony, you know I'd never do that to you! I got worried no ones seen her in so long, so I went over to her house- she was working tony. She was covered in paint and looked like I had woken her up. She said she felt really bad about not talking to any of us and she explained what happened. She's going to show you all after dinner" my mind eased, Vic would never lie to me and I'm sure I was just over reacting, especially about Addie not speaking to me, I barely knew her, I didn't know how she lived day by day because we've been occupying her time. I just need to stop and think.

"I'm sorry Vic, I... I don't know I just really don't want to screw this up like I do every time." He placed his hand on my shoulder and gave me his all knowing smile.

"Don't worry tony, you won't." He walked back downstairs and I couldn't help but wonder what he knew that I didn't.

"Tony! Come get some grub!" Hime yelled up the stairs snapping me out of my obsessive nervous thoughts.

I walked into the kitchen, he had made spaghetti with vegetable sauce. Addie was smiling talking to mike and Jamie, god she looked stunning, her beautiful chestnut brown hair with the blonde bangs and split looked adorable against her tan skin. That dress she was wearing made her look like he could be a super model. The leather jacket was a nice touch, I blushed realizing how hard I had been staring at her from across the table, I finally adverted my eyes and Vic was watching me with a huge goofy smile on his face. Fuck off Vic. He loved seeing me embarrass myself.

"So Addie where have you been ? I haven't seen you for a smoke break in almost two days" mike started conversation before anyone else noticed how infatuated I was with our beautiful neighbor.

"Well, I apologize for worrying you all and not replying to your texts, I shut my pone of whenever I start a new painting or drawing" she blushed nervously as everyone told her it was okay. "I actually hoped you all would come see the piece I finished today" she blushed again and I couldn't help but smile at her and how cute her dimples were.

"We'd love to Addie" I smiled at her reassuringly, her whole face lit up at my words and she seemed to be less nervous. Did I really have an affect on her like that? Why didn't I see it that night at her house?

"Thanks tone, Vic really wants me to help you guys with your next album art, but I wouldn't feel comfortable without you all agreeing" she smiled as mike wrapped one of his tattooed arms around her shoulder in a side hug.

"Addie I'm sure your a wonderful artist !" Mike kissed her hair and she glance up to me.

"When can we see it?!" Jamie asked excitedly as me and Addie stared into each others eyes. Getting lost.

"We'll if everyone's done eating we can go right now" she smiled wide showing all her beautifully straight teeth.

I looked to my plate I had barely touched my food, I just wanted to talk to Addie. I wanted to know everything I possibly could about her. We all followed her to her house to see why she dropped off the face of the earth the last thirty hours, when she opened the door to her studio my jaw dropped.

"Fuck." Mike broke the silence he hovered his fingers over the huge canvas. It truly was beautiful.

"Addie.. This is, breathtaking" Jamie kept scanning the canvas with his eyes.

"Beautiful Addie, I grew with Vic, you have to do some work for us" I piped in wanting her attention desperately.

"You really want that tony?" She asked quietly a smile spreading across her face.

"Yea, I really do" I smiled back at her suddenly getting my confidence back.

"Yea you are coming to the label with us next week and were hiring you!" Mike stated sternly giving her a hug. It was funny to watch since he's so tall and she's so short. I couldn't help but laugh a little.

"I told you they would all love it Addie!" Vic clapped happily and ruffled her hair causing it to fall out of its ponytail.

"I know Vic I'm just my own worst critic that's all." She laughed quietly rubbing her neck with her hand.

"Hey guys, can me and Addie have some time alone ? I need to talk to her" I stated confidently, I couldn't wait any longer I needed to tell her what that kiss meant to me. What she meant to me in such a short period of time.

"Sure thing tone, see you guys back at the house later?" Mike said smoothly and patting me on the back, he knew from the night we met Addie that we were destined for something. He was weird like that, he was big on fate and that everything happened for a reason. I kind of admired that about him.

"Yea guys well see you at the house" I gave them a shy smile, Vic and Jamie both winked as they made their way out of the studio.

We both stood in silence just staring at each other as she bit her lip nervously. God it was sexy, I wanted to feel her lips on mine again. I was scared To speak its like my throat suddenly turned into the Sahara dessert. I licked my lips but before I knew it Addie had her arms wrapped around my neck and was kissing me deeply, after a few seconds of shock I kissed her back sliding my tongue over her and taking complete control. I don't know how long we stood there, my hands on her hips and my hands slowly gliding under her shirt, her soft skin covering in goosebumps as I stopped at her rib cage, feeling her stomach jolt gasping or air as we parted.

"Tony, I like you to, I like you more than I've ever liked a guy I've just met. I'm so sorry for not calling" she blushed a Scarlett red as a goofy smile came over me. She liked me back ... I didn't mess it up this time.

"No Addie, I'm sorry I just... Left after that kiss, I know that sent the wrong message. I wanted to kiss you again and again, I never wanted to hurt you..." I whispered nervously she smiled and placed a hand on my cheek.

"Your adorable Tony Perry, and you didn't hurt me, you just confused the living shit out if me." She produced an adorable giggle, causing me to flash my teeth at her.

"Addie... W-w-would you go on a date with me? It would be an honor to get to know you" I blushed and looked away shyly, she grabbed my face in her hands. I was awful at trying to be in control

"Yes, I would love to" she brushed her lips against mine before fully pressing them to mine. The world felt like it stopped as we moved together, my hand went behind her neck as it tilted slightly. Her hands played with the hem of my shirt and my other hand made circles into her hips.

As my thumb pressed into her delicate skin she let a low moan escape into our kiss, I smiled and bit her bottom lip lightly, making her moan again. She was beautiful and the sounds she made instantly turned me on.

"Tony" she gasped as I kissed down her neck to her collar bone.

"Yeah beautiful?" I mumbled into her neck.

"Do we have to go back And see the guys?" She sighed catching her breath.

"I wish we didn't, but if we don't they'll assume the worst." I kissed her lightly on the lips one last time.

"Fine" she whined and laced we fingers with mine.

"I can't believe this is happening" I whispered to her swinging our arms slightly.

"You still have to win me over Mr. Perry" she squeezed my hand tightly before letting go as we walked into my house, god she was a tease.

The guys were all sat around the living room with beers in their hands. Mike smiled as Addie bounced in.

"Can you handle beer girly?" Mike asked her as she sat next to Vic I fact stealing his beer.

"Hey that's mine!" He gasped as she took a huge swig.

"We'll it happens to be my favorite and you didn't offer me one when I walked in, so shame on you Vincent" she laughed and scooted away from him.

"Ok that's fair, tony want a beer ?" Vic asked me as he got up from the couch and into the kitchen.

"You know it man" I sat next to Addie she smiled at me as Vic threw me a beer.

"Thank man" he nodded in response and laid back down in the couch his feet up on the arm rest.

We were watching a documentary on warped tour and telling stories as they mentioned many of our friends and colleagues. Addie asked us all about your and it was so cute how interested she was. She hung on our every word, I sheepishly inched my fingers over her hand that was rested on the couch. She smiled keeping up with her conversation and lightly moved her fingers with mine. I blushed as she ran her thumb over my hand. Conversation died down after an hour of questions and everyone was back to watching silently, he cheered and took a swig every time they mentioned pierce the veil.

"So... Tony, when's the date?" Vic asked slyly causing Addie to blush and give us away.

"Dammit Vic" I scolded and everyone laughed.

"I think it should be Saturday at 7, what do you think tone tone?" Addie called me out and I blushed deeply.

She was really something else.
