Addison sat on her couch with her legs crossed, staring at the TV. There was absolutely nothing on. TV at night sucked. She never had a chance to watch it anyways, Usually at this time she was at the Lounge getting all her outfits and things together for the show, but for some reason, Tess gave the girls the weekend off. That never happened. Addison didn't feel like going out to a club or anything, she wanted a nice quiet night in the house. She had invited Andre to come over and spend some time with her and he said he would. She got some movies from he RedBox down the street. One of each genre. Addison sighed, got up and headed into the kitchen. She grabbed a bag of popcorn out of the box on the counter and opened up the plastic. She placed the bag into the microwave and set it for 2 minutes 30 seconds. She picked the plastic up off of the counter and threw it in the trash basket.Addison rolled her neck around and popped her back. She let out a small sigh of relief and leaned against the counter, watching the popcorn bag go around and around in the microwave. Addison walked over to the fridge and grabbed the half stick of butter out of it and closed the door.

She placed the butter in a coffee cup and placed it next to the microwave. Addison stood up on her tip toes and pulled a wine glass out of the cabinet and closed it again. The microwave beeped and Addison pushed the button and it popped open, almost knocking the cup off of the counter, "Shit." she said as she quickly grabbed it. She pulled the popcorn out and placed the butter in, closed the door and set the microwave for 45 seconds. The smell of the popcorn made Addison's stomach grumbled. She smiled, opened the bag and ate a piece. She slowly poured the popcorn into the bowl and crumpled up the empty bag. The microwave beeped once more and Addison opened it again, took the cup out, closed it and slowly poured the melted butter over the popcorn. She grabbed the bowl, wine glass and bottle of wine and headed back into the living room.

Addison set all the items on the coffee table in front of her next to the movies. She sat down, grabbed the bottle and popped the cork out. She poured some wine into the glass and then put the bottle back on the table. She leaned back with her glass in hand and focused back on the TV. Just then there was a knock at her door and she smiled, "Come in." she called, knowing it was Andre.

[Andre Dylan West]

The day turned from bleh to good when he had gotten a call from Addison earlier that day. Andre wouldn't turn down an invitation when it's coming from one of his friends. He had nothing to do that evening except make dinner, for his sister now, and hang out with her---just their usual night during the weekend. They make dinner together, talk about what happened during the week--just about anything--play games, watch movies, go out for dessert, so on. Andre truly loves his baby sister, she's everything and taking care of her is his number one�priority at the moment.��He had gotten somewhat his act together for his sister's sake and because of Mandi. The reputation that Andre had been living throughout the years is gradually changing; after all he's going to be an uncle.

Andre cooked dinner for his sister while she was watching tv with Boxer sitting next to her. Not everyone knows that he can cook mostly all the variety of food and delicious too. He turned off the stove then gave the pasta one give stir before going to his room to change his clothes. It was getting chilly in New York but loving it. He opened his room door to see his sister smiling and leaning against the wall with a bowl of pasta in her hand. 'Tell Addison I said hi.' Andre nodded, hugged his sister before getting on his knees to whisper, "Now don't you trouble your mommy. She loves you so much and I'll talk to you in the morning." He got up on his two feet, walking to the main door with his sitter right behind him; he wore his jacket, grabbed his car key and opened the door. Before he closed the door, he told his sister not to wait up for him and she needs to get some rest. He walked to his car, unlocked it and got in quickly, started the engine and drove his way to Addison's place.

He didn't know what she had planned for them but it was shocking news when he found out that she was off. He pulled his car at Addison's place, turned off his car, got out, feeling the cool air around him and walked inside locking his car on the way. He had been at her place once or twice, it was pretty nice place where she lived. He stopped in front of her door, smelling popcorn as he knocked on the door. Hearing 'come in', Andre turned the knob and went inside the warm entrance.�"Hey! What's the occasion?" He unzipped his jacket and took it off and hung it on the coat hanger and went where Addison was sitting with a glass of wine in her hand. He sat down next to her, turned his attention on the tv then back at his friend.�"What are you watching?" Andre saw stack of DVDs and started going through it to see which one he hasn't seen.�

Addison smiled when Andre asked her what the occasion was,"Oh nothing special," she called out to him, "Just wanting to spend time with my best friend." She smiled again at him when he sat down on the couch. She shouldn't have these feelings, not for him. She knew what kind of a guy he was and he was just her best friend. Why couldn't she convince herself that thats all he was and would ever be? For some reason, Addison didn't know what it was, but it was like she was being drawn to him in some way. There was no way she could tell him though. If there was one thing she was really afraid of with guys, it was rejection. That would also make their friendship awkward and she definitely didnt want that to happen.Addison took a sip of her wine and looked back to the TV. "Uhm, I think it's first 48 or something like that. It was the only semi entertaining thing on right now. Night television sucks." she laughed softly. She watched him go through the DVDs and she placed her glass on the coaster on the table. Addison got up, stepped over Andre's legs and headed into the kitchen. "I got one of each genre, I didn't know what you wanted to watch." she called from the kitchen.

Addison grabbed another wine glass out of the cabinet and closed it. She sighed quietly to herself and started back to the living room. She was acting like such a little kid about this whole situation. They were adults and they could handle it in an adult way.Addison just shook the thought of telling him out of her mind and walked in to the living room smiling. "I'd offer you a beer, but I'm fresh out. Dalton cleaned me out." she laughed and then took her spot back on the couch. She placed the second wine glass on another coaster a popped the cork out once more. She filled the glass halfway and then put the bottle back on the table. She handed Andre the glass and picked hers up to cheers with him, "Cheers." she said as they clinked. Addison put the glass back down on the table and looked at him, "So, what have you decided?" she asked about the movies. She took a few piece of popcorn out of the bowl and ate them.

[Andre Dylan West]

Going through the stack of DVDs, he didn't know which one he wanted to see. It was starting to confuse him but hey he knows that in the end he's going to make Addison pick a movie. Andre's eyes wandered his friend's place thinking that she might have changed something, though she hasn't.�"Oh really? We should have this type of hangout more often." Andre wouldn't mind to spend time with Addison. Just meeting her from the first time then talking, they've became best friends instantly. Not that he was complaining, he loved hanging out and having Addison's company. As she got up and stepped over his legs, her scent brush by leaving him smelling her sweet scent. He cleared his throat as he shifted a little in the sofa. It was true, there's barely anything good on tv at night, it was like night tv is everyone's enemy.�

"Sometimes I feel like throwing it out the window." He saw himself throwing his flat screen out his window then regretting it, which made him laugh. Oh jeez. He watched as Addison reappeared in the room with wine glass and watched her pour wine in the empty glass. He didn't care if she didn't have beer, he was there to hang out and as far as wine goes, it'll roll.�"Ah! Well it's all good, been avoiding beer anyway." He threw his beer out of fridge into the trash and replaced it with water bottles, juices, and soft drinks. Andre picked his glass, smiling he clinked with Addison's. Taking a sip, he set the glass down on the table and gave a shrug to answer the question.�"It's all up to you. I don't really care, you're the host and I'm here to enjoy and give you company."

"I'm okay with more of this kind of hanging out." she said with a smile. Of course she was, he was her best friend after all, she would love more time with him. It seemed like both of them were just so damn busy all the time though. She worked every night and he had school during the day. Their schedules never really matched up. More time together was maybe just what they needed.Addison laughed when Andre said he wanted to throw his TV out the window sometimes, "We can't have you doing that," she said"it's too nice." Last she knew he had a really nice TV. But that was the last time she was at his place, so long ago. They definitely needed to hang out more. "Good, beer makes you fat." she smiled. She only kept it in the house for when Dalton came over, wasn't common, but it was nice to have something your guests drank. Addison playfully sighed when Andre said she got to pick the movie, "Hmph." She picked up the pile of DVDs and too one out. "Fast Five, great movie. We're watching it." she smiled and put the other DVD's back on the table.

Addison got up and made her way over to the TV. Kneeling down, she opened the DVD player, placed the DVD in and then closed it again. She stood up and started back towards the couch. "So, did Santa get you everything you wanted?" she asked as she sat back down and picked up the remote. Addison had a great Christmas, she got to see her family from Iowa and she also had her family from the lounge. The staff was like a little family, everyone looked out for each other. She pressed play on the remote and the credits began playing a few moments after. "What are your plans for New Years? I think the lounge is having a nice little party if you would like to go. I know it'll be a good time." she smiled again and looked at the TV. Addison skipped through the previews and played the movie. She picked up the bowl of popcorn and put it in the middle of them and then picked up her wine glass, took a sip and then watched the TV.

[Andre Dylan West]

He spent his paycheck on his tv, if he wants something he gets without waiting for black Friday or Christmas. Andre loves his electronics and wouldn't know what he would do without them. He gasped, covering his mouth with his hands when Addison comment that beer makes your fat.�"You did not just called me fat." Taking his off of his mouth and winked at Addison knowing that he was just messing with her. It would be a natural reaction of a girl if she asked a boy if she looked fat in something. Being classic guy rule never tell a girl that she's fat. Could care less if he sees Fast Five again, its a really goof movie and second time around it's going to be even better than the first time around. He pulled her to him, placing her on his lap and hugged her.�"Looks like I don't have a choice but to, now do I?" It feels so right to hold her. �

Andre let her go, took his glass and sipped his wine as he got more comfortable in the sofa. He didn't ask anything for Christmas this time because he got everything he needed. He got a sister who he loves dearly, he's going to be an uncle, had good friends and then there was Addison---who was just amazing. Then again he did have Mandi but things didn't work out between them as he thought and he wasn't going to even try to rethink the possibility of being with her. It was time to move on and clearly he was.�"Yeah, how about you?" He looked at the tv watching the previews skip and the movie started. He hadn't thought about what he was going to do for New Year's though has a feeling who he wants to spend it with.�"I honestly don't know. I might drop by there and hang out with you. Maybe be my date?" he turned to look at Addison for a brief second then turned his attention to the movie. Normally for New Year's he's either at Times Square or at a club or bar.�

Addison laughed when Andre asked if she was calling him fat, "Well I wasn't going to say it, but" she smiled, "if it walks like a duck and looks like a duck..." Obviously he wasn't fat, but she was having fun teasing him. Addison giggled when Andre pulled her onto his lap and hugged her. She hugged him back tightly and smiled to herself. This just felt so right."Nope you don't." She took a second to look in his eyes and then she smiled as she got up. She unzipped her boots, took them off and curled her feet up on the couch. "Yeah, I got everything I wanted." Well almost everything. She would've gotten everything she wanted if she got Andre. She sipped her wine as Andre said he might stop by, "Of course I'll be your date. Couldn't have either one of us going alone, now could we?" she smiled at him and brought her attention back to the TV. Oh how she loved Vin Diesel. He was such a great actor, especially in this movie, but right now she couldn't focus on the movie, her mind was on Andre.

Addison put her empty wine glass on the table, poured a bit more in her cup, took a sip and then put it back down on the table. Addison scrunched her noise as she attempted to get comfortable but it just wasn't working. She huffed and then picked a pillow up off of the chair next to the couch and put it lightly in Andre's lap. She looked at him, smiled and then laid down on the pillow, nothing unusual. She curled her legs up on the couch and just watched the movie. She rolled her head over so she was looking at him, "You know how hard it is for me to get comfortable..knew you wouldn't mind." she smiled once more and brought her attention back to the movie.

[Andre Dylan West]

He burst out laughing hearing his laughter echo a little in the dim living room. That had to make his evening.�"Well then, maybe you can help me get back in shape." He was dedicated to his workout like people are dedicated to work. Andre was glad that Addison had a good Christmas though he was curious where she was. He hadn't texted her knowing that she would be busy or doing something with her brother or shopping. Andre loves so much about her but one thing he loves about her is that she makes him happy and she can be a total goofball.�"Where did you go? Hadn't heard from you on Christmas. Yeah? At least we're going to be spending New Year's together." He nudged her with his elbow lightly with a smile on his face. He was looking Forward to New Year's, something different for sure.�

As the movie started, he grabbed his glass of wine to take the last gulp then set it on the table. Taking his shoes off, bent down to move it aside and supported his back with the sofa. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Addison move to grab a pillow off the chair and placed it on his lap. He rolled his eyes as Addison laid down on the sofa with her head on the pillow that rested on his lap. Andre moved few strands of her aside and rested his arm on her.�"I know. You're correct, I don't mind as long as...." Andre stuck his tongue out to her then smiled. His finger started playing with her blond hair, twisting between his fingers, hoping that he doesn't distract her from the movie.�

"I was here. My uncle and cousins came to visit me. Then I went to the Christmas party at the lounge. What'd you do? We didn't talk at all that day." Addison actually hadn't really talked to anyone. The only real blood family she had, had come from Iowa to spend Christmas with her, it was nice. She had been alone for the holidays in the years before, but her cousin found a way to get in touch with her and they planned to spend it together. She loved knowing that she had family out there somewhere. With her being an only child, her father walking out on them and her mother dieing when she was only 7, she thought she was alone in the world. She always felt alone, until she met Andre and of course her family at the club. She was just a small town girl that moved to the big city, looking for something more. She found it at the club, well they found her. "There's one of my New Year's resolutions already crossed off." she said, commenting on the fact that they would be together on New Year's.

Addison scrunched her nose and stuck her tongue out back at Andre, he was such a goof sometimes. She smiled and closed her eyes as she felt his fingers in her hair. This felt so easy, like it was meant to happen. She couldn't help but to think that this is how it ought to be. She took a few slow, soft breaths in and then opened her eyes, she needed to tell him. Addison slowly opened her eyes, licked her lips and let his name roll off her lips, "Andre...."

[Andre Dylan West]

His Christmas was pleasant. Abby and Andre cooked dinner most of afternoon, opened their gifts in the morning and watched movies and went out for a stroll in the evening. He couldn't remember when he and sister actually had the day to themselves having that brother-sister bonding. Not to mention his niece or nephew. �"Stayed with Abby and the kid, just having brother-sister bonding time. But not fun as yours." Andre was happy that Addison got to see her family on Christmas and had an amazing day also. He may not know how she felt or can relate on what happened in her life, he was certain that he wasn't going to leave her. He cared way too much that he'll let her walk out without knowing that she's happy with someone. He was little lost when she mentioned one of her New Year's resolution being crossed off.�"What was that?" He was curious but had a feeling what she was going to say.�

Taking couple of popcorn in his hands, he placed it in his mouth and ate it. He didn't move too much to disturb Addison or the movie. It was too good to be true on how he felt about her and why things were going differently then he thought. It's a good thing though he never thought that he would be this much an idiot around her. Despite being an adults, they're still a kid that wants to come out. When his name came out of her lips, he drew his attention to her and raised his eyebrows.�"Yes?" The tone of her voice sent chills down his spine thinking what is going on and that too all of a sudden.�
