Damian’s P.O.V
She won’t let me come with her. I wanted to be there at the airport when Addiline arrived, to be the first person she saw, but Sharon told me to stay here. I may not be the first person Adda sees, but I’m determined to be the first of the guys that she sees. Sharon’s leaving in ten minuets and Adda’s flight gets in in thirty, which means in no longer than an hour our lovely, new photography intern will be standing besides me.
Addiline’s P.O.V
The plane laded and I exited with everyone else, scanning the crowd for a familiar face. It didn’t take long to spot the blonde hair an bright smile that was distinctly Sharon’s. As I approached her she pulled me into a hug. “Addiline!” “Hi Sharon!” “Did you have a good flight?” “To be honest I slept through almost all of it.” I smiled “Well at least you’re rested”, she joked, “Now come on, I know some very impatient guys who are dieing to see you.” “I’m dieing to see them too.” “Well then, lets not keep you waiting longer than you have to.”
Damian’s P.O.V
After Sharon left for the airport, we checked into the hotel we would be staying at for the next couple of days. I had a plan, another surprise for Adda, but I had to work fast. I dashed upstairs and down the hall to my room in order to deposit my bag and begin making phone calls. Ten minuets until she’s here and with us all again.
Ryan’s P.O.V
I don’t know what that boy is up to, but he had better slow down. This has something to do with Miss Addiline, that much I know for sure. I don’t know what happened when he walked her outside the night of the concert, but he hasn’t stopped smiling since and has been cleaning non-stop since she signed her contract. The poor kid, he’s been acting like a lovesick puppy for the last two weeks and today is finally the day he gets to see his lady love.

Addiline’s P.O.V
Sharon and I walked through the front doors of the hotel only to spot Damian sitting on the stairs across the lobby. He looked up and smiled as he rose to come meet us. “Go. I’ll get you checked in.” Sharon said, elbowing me “Thanks.” I said, grinning I left my bags where they were by the front desk and met Damian in the middle of the lobby. I ran the last few steps and launched myself into his arms, knocking him off balance. We stumbled backwards, but he quickly recovered and squeezed me. “I missed you.” I all but squealed “Not as much as I missed you.” he countered, squeezing me harder “I don’t know about that.” “I don’t know, but what I do know is that you need to get upstairs and get changed so you can see the guys before we leave.” he said, pulling back “Leave? I just got here. Where are we going?” “You and I are going out to dinner and a night out on the town.” “What should I wear?” “Clothes would be preferred.” he said, his grin widening further “Well really? I never would have guessed. I meant what kind of clothes; causal, dressy? Jeans, dress? What?” “Umm… dressy causal.” he said uncertainly “Alright I think I can do that. What time do I need to be ready?”
Damian’s P.O.V
I’m ready and I still have half an hour before I’m supposed to meet Adda. “Just calm down. You’ll be fine.” George reassured me “I know, but still I wanna do this right.” “It’s your first date, you’re allowed to screw up. Besides Addiline doesn’t seem like the type to get upset if you do.” Ryan chimed in, slapping me on the back “Gee, thanks Ry.” “No, but honestly, you’ll be fine. Just have fun and don’t worry about messing up.”

Hey guys sorry it's taken so long, it's been crazy here! Well i think y'all have waited long enough. Here ya go.
Addiline’s P.O.V
I’m ready and there’s still half an hour before Damian is supposed to come get me. According to what very little detail I got out of him we’re meeting everyone in the hotel lounge at 6:30 before he and I have reservations at some nice restaurant in town. I couldn’t get anything more then that we’re having a “night on the town.” I looked at the clock, still twenty minuets. I already called Mom and Daddy when I first got into my room so I can’t do that, but there’s still Evan.
*Ringing* “Hello?” “Evan…” I almost whispered into the phone “Add? You made it.” “Yeah, I made it.” “You don’t sound too happy about it.” “I’m fine. I’m just still in shock. It all happened so fast.” “I know, but hey you’re there. You’re with people that you love and you’ll be home before you know it.” “Yeah, I know, you told me that before I left.” I said with a small smile “Hey, do me a favor.” he said, a trace of something I couldn’t place in his voice “What’s that?” “Open your backpack.” he said, his voice thick with mischief now “What did you do?” “Just open your backpack. You’ll like it. I promise.” I grabbed my backpack and slowly unzipped it, afraid of what I might find inside. A box caught my attention, “When did you put this in here?” “When you were saying good-bye to everyone. Open it.” I lifted the box from my bag and, cradling my phone between my shoulder and ear, carefully opened the lid. Tears sprang to my eyes as I looked down at the tiny stuffed army bear clutching a purple rose. “Is this…?” I breathed “The same one I gave you years ago that you gave back? Yeah.” “You kept him.” “Of course I kept him. How could I not?” “Evan…” I whispered “He was the first thing I ever gave you, Add, and I thought you could use a friend from home.” “What about the rose?” “Purple ones are still your favorite right?” “Yeah,” I looked at the clock. I only had ten minuets until Damian was set to arrive and I was a mess, “I’m to meet everyone in ten minuets and you just made me cry, so I should probably go fix myself before I leave.” I said with a small smile “Okay. I’m sorry I made you cry.” “It’s okay, I love it. I really do. Thanks Evan, I’ll call you tomorrow.” “Alright. Don’t forget to read the note. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” “Bye Evan.” “Oh and Add…” “Yeah?” “I love you.” “I love you too.” I hung up the phone and gently touched a silk pedal. He’d thought of everything. I got up off the bed to go clean up my tear-streaked face. I sat back down on my bed and was reaching for the note when the knock sounded on my door. I dropped the note back into the box and went to open the door.
Damian’s P.O.V
I knocked on her door and listened as she unlocked and opened it. I did a double take when she stepped into the doorway. She stood there in a white dress with small embroidered blue flowers on it, that dusted her knees. Her dark honey colored hair was curled and pulled back with a clip and her eyes shone with excitement. “What? Don’t you like it?” she asked uneasily It was then that I realized that I hadn’t said anything. “No. No, I love it. You’re beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.” She blushed a deep red and looked at the floor. I smiled at the shyness and bent down so I was looking her in the eye, “It’s true.” “Well you don’t look so bad yourself.” she said, gaining her bearings again I pulled at the hem of my sports jacket and grinned, “Why thank you,” I winked , “You ready to go?” “Yeah. Just let me grab my sweater.”
Addiline’s P.O.V
He did look good. In his dark jeans, with his white button down tucked in, and his black sports jacket he was any girls dream. I could feel him watching me as I grabbed my sweater and purse before turning out the light and rejoining him at the door. “Ready?” he asked again “More than.” I grinned back I stepped out into the hallway and closed my door. I turned back around and he offered me his arm, a grin on his face, “My Lady.” “Why thank you kind sir.” I said slipping my hand into the crook of his arm We set off down the hallway and I started walking toward my feature.

ItIDamianhoyouThatuan would you look at this two updates in one week. If your good and comment you might get another one this weekend Ryan’s P.O.V “Where are they?” “Paul just calm down.” George said for the third time “Yeah. Besides you’ve gotta give him time to romance her.” I said “I thought that was what their date was for?” “The romance starts before the date, Paul, I figured you of all people would know that.” “Calm down all of you.” Sharon said stepping in the middle of all of us “That’s easy for you to do, you’ve already seen her.” Keith said matter-of-factly They were starting to argue when we heard, “Hey guys, look who’s here.” Damian’s P.O.V We walked down the stairs leading into the lounge unnoticed. I looked down at Adda and she smiled at me, her hand tightening on my arm when we spotted the guys. She stopped, pulling me to a stop with her. I looked down into worried brown eyes. “They miss you.” I said, placing my hand over hers “I miss them too,” she whispered, her eyes never leaving the group Suddenly her eyes snapped to mine and grew wide with fear. “What if I’m not what they remember?” “It’s been two weeks Adda and we’ve talked to you almost everyday. Trust me you’re exactly what they remember.” “Really?” I pulled back, studying her. “No, wait, maybe not.” Her eyes grew wider, tears on the brink of forming. “You’re prettier.” She let out a breath and then hit me, “Don’t do that to me,” she scolded “Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Now, are you ready?” “More than I’ve ever been.” As we drew closer we could hear the beginnings of an argument. We still hadn’t been noticed, so I looked at Addiline and, putting a finger to my lips, grinned. I cleared my throat a few times only to be met with nothing, not even a sideways glance. After the third failed attempt at attention, I broke down and said, “Hey guys look who’s here.” At that eight pairs of eyes turned on us. Addiline’s P.O.V I giggled at Damian’s failed attempts at getting the attention of the group and then readied myself when he said, “Hey guys look who’s here.” Eight pairs of eyes turned on us and then suddenly mass ciaos broke out. I was gathered into a group hug and I heard chuckling as Sharron said, “Guys let her breath.” They released me, only to attack me individually, each squeezing with all they had. “I missed you guys too.” I laughed after Phil released me We were all grinning from ear to ear when Keith said, “So we hear our little Damo is romancing’ you tonight.” I blushed and looked at Damian who was looking at the floor in an attempt to hide his own blush. “Keith, stop it. You’re embarrassin’ them.” Sharon said with a grin “Don’t worry about what he says,” Ryan said, nodding towards Keith, “You’re lucky Damo, you know that?” “Yeah I know, but I wanna hear your logic behind it.” “Well you see when a young man, such as yourself, has a young lady as pretty as our Addiline here, he better thank his lucky stars, and pray that she doesn’t leave.” Everyone laughed at that and I didn’t miss the emphasis he put on “our.” I saw Damian look at his watch, before he announced, “ On that note, we’ve gotta get going our reservations are in half an hour.”

Damian’s P.O.V
“You two have a good time.” George said as we started to leave “Make sure you’re back at a decent hour, Damian, we have rehearsal in the morning.” Sharron called after us I turned back and nodded and then turning back to walk with Addiline gave her a grin. We walked out of onto the street and she slipped her hand back into the crook of my arm. “So where are we going?” she asked as we walked down the street, away from the hotel. “A little restaurant I found, and then I thought we could just walk around town. I think there’s some sorta fair tonight at the park.” “Sounds like a plan.” she said, grinning up at me I smiled back and guided her around the corner. We were walking down the sidewalk talking about everything that had happened in the last two weeks when she went silent. I looked over at her to see her staring a window display at the local jewelry store. I followed her gaze to the locket in the center. “It’s beautiful.” “Yeah, it is” she whispered, “My grandma had one just like it.” “Missin’ home?” I asked, slipping her hand from my arm and wrapping my arms protectively around her “A little. But it’s okay, and I won’t let it ruin our night.” I squeezed her before letting her go. “Well tonight I’m determined to take your mind off it.” She smiled up at me and slid her hand back through my arm, her other hand coming up to lightly rest on the first. We came to our destination and were seated. After our orders had been placed I rested my elbows on the table and clasp my hands together. “Tell me about home.” She smiled to herself, “Well lets see, I’ve already told you about the family. There’s Evan, he’s my best friend, has been for as long as I can remember. And then there’s the church, I’m pretty sure I cried as much with that good-bye as I did with all the ones at the airport today put together.” “Sounds like you have a lot of people that love you.” “And I them. Oh, I live on top of this huge hill right beside my grandparents farm. I can look out the window and see the horses in the backyard.” “You have horse?’ “Yep, and I love ‘em to death. You’d love the woods at the back of the hay field, you have to hop a few fences to get to ‘em, but it’s worth it.” She stopped looking at me and then grinned. “What, you didn’t know I was a country girl?” “No. When you said you had a long drive home I assumed you meant to another city.” “Nope, we had a three hour drive back to our hay fields and oats. The accent didn’t tell you something?” “I just thought it was a state accent.” I said, understanding now boots I had seen her in the night of the concert. “Well it kinda is, but our part of the state has a different one then the rest, especially me. I only have one on my vowels and on certain words.” I smiled at her and said, “Well then country girl meets city boy.” She laughed, “Well this country girls likes her city boy.” I winked, “Good.”

Addiline’s P.O.V
The night went by in haze of laughter and fun and all too soon it was time to head back to the hotel. “You ready?” Damian asked from the swing beside me. We had wonder to the far side of the park and now watched the small fair taking place. “I suppose.” We got up and started back across the park to the main sidewalk in which we had come. I slipped my hand into the crook of his arm, for some reason it just seemed right to be arm in arm with this boy I felt so comfortable with. He smiled down at me and before long we were back at the front doors of the hotel. We took the stairs trying to prolong out evening and as we ascended the stairs to our floor we talked about whatever happened to pop up. We stopped outside my door and I turned to Damian. “Thank you for tonight.” “You’re very welcome. We’ll do it again soon, you know a different city almost every night means lots of new things to see.” I smiled up at him and then without a word cupped his face, raised on tip-toe, and placed a soft kiss on his cheek before opening my door and retreating inside.
Damian’s P.O.V
I watched as she closed the door and then slowly turned and began walking to my room. Tonight had gone great and I hadn’t lied when I told Adda that there’d be more nights out to come. I smiled as I opened the door to my room and prepared myself for the questions I knew were waiting on the other side.
Addiline’s P.O.V
Tonight had been wonderful, everything was perfect. I changed into my pajamas and smiled as I pulled my hair up. I moved my backpack back to the floor and picking up my bear sat down on the bed. I grabbed Evan’s note and settled back against the headboard to read what he had wrote.
Add, I was thinking about it and I thought you could use a friend from home, so I sent Fisher to keep you company. When you where talking about going to Montana for school you told me that if I didn’t want you to go, then to give you a reason to stay and I couldn’t bring myself to tell you what I wanted to. Now you’re gone, not forever, but you’re not here with me, and it took the reality of you leaving to make me figure out that I can’t lose you. You told me to give you a reason to stay, but I’m giving you one to come back… I love you Addiline, I always have. I lost you once because I was too blind to see what was in front of me, I don’t want to make that mistake again. I don’t know how it happened, but it did, and somewhere through the years I fell in love with my best friend. I wanted to tell you in person, but when you where talking about Montana I was too afraid and then the internship happened so fast. I would’ve told you today at the airport, but everyone was there and it didn’t seem right. I know this isn’t the best way, but I couldn’t wait three months to tell you. I love you, and remember that no matter what you always have me and you always have home, you’re my Add and nothing is going to change that. Evan I wiped at tears and reread the letter. He loved me? He couldn’t love me. Not Evan. Not the one that I had loved for years, that I had waited for. I picked up Fisher from where he set beside and noticed the slip of paper attached to the steam of the rose. I took the rose from his hands and unrolled the paper from the steam. Setting Fisher aside I read what was on the paper.
It’s silk so it won’t die, just like our friendship. No matter what.
I looked at the small note and pick Fisher back up, hugging the small bear close. I found another small piece of paper attached to Fisher over his heart, it had been covered by the rose. What was it with Evan and notes? I detached the small paper and read.
Hug him when you’re lonely or sad and think of me. Remember I’m always only a call away.
I couldn’t believe it, he’d thought of it all, and he loved me. I hugged Fisher close as I cried. This was Evan, my Evan, and he loved me just like I loved him, but what about Damian?

All right ladies I think y'all have waited long enough. Here you go. Comment, comment. comment.
Damian’s P.O.V
“So how’d it go?” “What’d she think?” “Did you kiss her?” “You treated her right didn’t ya?” They came at once, along with the men that spouted them off. I laughed as I stepped into the room and took my jacket off. “One at a time. It went great, she loved it, no I didn’t kiss her, but I did get a peck on the cheek before she went into her room, and yes I treated her right.” They all looked at each other, grinned, then turned on me. “So…” they all said at once “What?” “Are you gonna tell us or not?” “You never asked.” “We are now.” “Ok. You guys are worse then women sometimes I swear.”
Addiline’s P.O.V
I’ve made up my mind. It wasn’t the easiest decision, but it feels right. I was up all night thinking about it and finally came to a conclusion. Now I just have to break the news.
Damian’s P.O.V
She seemed a little distracted this morning, but I chalked it up to nerves about her first day. After lunch she still didn’t seem herself, but she said she was fine, just tired and nervous. Then tonight when she still didn’t seem like Adda I cornered her and told her I wanted the truth.
Addiline’s P.O.V
He was worried, I could tell. Then when he cornered me wanting the truth on what was bothering me I knew I couldn’t lie. I told him everything, Evan, Fisher, the note. And my decision.

Here ya go ladies. Comment, comment, comment.
*Time Skip*
Ryan’s P.O.V
“You got everything?” Damian checked his pockets and nodded. “I think so.” “Nervous?” “Kinda, but not yet. Tonight’s what’s the nerve racking, this is the easy part.” “Well you better get to it then, we still have a lot of planning to do.”
Damian’s P.O.V.
Phase 1 08:30 Plaza Hotel Dinning Room
Today’s the day. it’s Adda’s birthday and what a day it’s gonna be. I checked my pockets again, then gave Ryan a half grin before leaving the room. I walked down the hall to her room and slid a note under the door for her to find later. I found her in the dinning room, where I knew she’d be, with her back to me. Sharon saw me, but said nothing. She knew the plan. I walked up behind Adda, and wrapping my arms around her, whispered, “Happy birthday beautiful.”
Addiline’s P.O.V
“Happy birthday beautiful.” I grinned and tilted my head so I could actually see him. He grinned from where his chin rested on my shoulder. “Thank you.” He reached up and kissed the tip of my nose before sitting down beside me. “So what are you two up to before rehearsals?” Sharon asked, eyeing us over her coffee cup “I have a meeting with Jack and Cathleen. They said they have something they wanna talk about.” “And I’m going for a run, then the guys and I are gonna just stay here till rehearsal.” “Well don’t get in too much trouble. I’ll see you later.” I got up and placed a kiss on his forehead before leaving.
Damian’s P.O.V
As she left I grabbed my phone. “Phase 1 complete. Phase 2 is a go.” “Roger that. Phase 2 is go.” seven replies came back “Is everything ready?” Sharon asked, finishing her coffee “Almost.” “You better get back upstairs then.” As I walked out of the dinning room I heard her yell after me. “Don’t you boys be late.”
