Matéo Santiago's POV.

I wake up, Adeline and I completely naked and with her legs and arms around me.

She sleeps peacefully and I just want to hold her all day.

I kiss her face all over until she wakes up.

She scrunches up her nose, causing small crinkles to appear on her skin and then disappear just as quickly, when her face relaxes.

"Noo, Matéo leave me alone!" She mutters, burying her face in my chest and dragging the quilt over us.

I chuckle deeply.

"Babe, let's get up" I tell her, playing with her extremely thick hair.

I tangle my fingers in it and play with it gently, massaging the base of her scalp.

I love it.

Why does it always smell so good!

"Matéo, are you smelling my hair?" She asks me, with an adorable giggle.

"Yeah, you smell amazing!" I tell her shamelessly.

She is my wife, and I am honestly at the point where I'm never going to stop complimenting her.

I eventually manage to get Adeline out of bed, method, bribery of homemade cookies, brownies cinnamon rolls and anything she wants after school, every day until she gives birth!

And if I'm going down, in that kitchen...

So are Jerome, James, Sebastian and Riccardo.

All of them can cook better than me.

Especially Riccardo!

I quickly take a shower, get dressed and go down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Morning Hannah" I say.

Hannah is one of the agency workers for Donatello's restaurant, the place I took Ade on our date.

She is an agency worker, which means she can work anywhere, and now, her services are on loan to me and this house, while I look after Adeline.

I let her take evenings off though, so that we can get time off to ourselves.

She smiles and chirps a good morning.

She hands me a plate of food and I sit down at the table.

Just as I do, Adeline comes down the stairs.
I take in her outfit and nearly groan.

^^ Ade's clothes

Her hips have grown wider and so have her breasts.

I look away, when she catches me staring and I hear her giggle.

"Morning Hannah" Adeline greets, giving her a side hug.

Hannah's reddens and mumbles a 'good morning' back.

What's her problem?

I watch as she gives Adeline her food and as Adeline sits next to me.

She kisses my cheek and then says grace, before we eat.

Hannah excuses is as we eat.

"You ready to meet everyone else on Saturday?" She asks me.

I sigh.

This Saturday, we are going to meet James' and Bella's families at James' parents' house.

To say I'm nervous is an understatement.

From what I'm told, James' father is like Adeline's proper father figure, not to mention a Russian cartel leader and if he is anything like the rest of Adeline's family, her mother and father not included.

Im fucked if I make a single wrong move.

"I guess so" I respond lowly.

She doesn't need to know that I'm scared.

She nods and leans forward, pecking me on the neck.

"You'll be fine" she tells me, getting up.

I follow her and we go out of the house.
***
We step into the school and I can tell she's nervous.

I hold her hand and entwined our fingers together.

She looks up at me in that strange way again.

The one that makes my insides feel warm.

I smile at her and she smiles back.

Her smile is so beautiful....

Wow.

I walk her to class and give her a hug, before I reluctantly let her get to her class.

I walk to my lesson, reflecting on life too much and I managed to make it before the bell.

I sit down in my seat and try to concentrate on something other than my wife.

I look at the thick ring on my left hand and sigh.

I wonder if she is okay.

It's only been 10 minutes since she was last by my side.

But I'm in love with her.

She's constantly on my mind.

I tap my ring absent minded on my desk.

"And the answer to that is what, Mr Santiago?!" Mr Ross asks.

Mr Ross has got to be one of the coolest teachers I've ever met.

He always stays collected and he barely picks on me, so I am willing to answer the question with no attitude.

"1933, Mr Ross. Hitler fell into power in 1933" I respond.

He nods, the corners of his thin lips turned down playfully as if he wanted me to get it wrong.

I hear people muttering after I speak and I almost roll my eyes.

I moved to this school, days before the start of senior year, when I realised Ade went here.

I only started getting involved with class discussion this year though, so I could show off to Ade whenever we have classes together.

Suddenly, a piece of paper lands on my desk.

I pick it up to see that it has 'Lilly' scrawled in some curvy hieroglyphic type writings it and what I assume is her number.

I turn to glare back at her and she and her fucking clowns start to giggle.

She waves at me and winks as if she's caught an eyelash in her eye me, making me grimace.

Call me childish or petty, but I hold the paper in between my thumb and index finger, looking for somewhere to dump it.

The bin is right at the front of the class and Mr Ross would have no problem with me standing if I asked to stand, but I get a better idea.

I tap the boy right in front of me, Ben Lawrence and he turns around to face me.

It is definitely safe to say that this boy has the personality of of dead squid's tentacle.

The boy can't hold a conversation for about ten minutes.

He was apparently previously known for being a very scrawny guy with a head bigger than the rest of his body and massive asś Harry Potter glasses that are way too big for his face.

He was also paler than a bleached up wall and that seems to emphasise the acne on he had on his face.

He was basically a kind of a less cooler version of Minkus from boy meets world.

He doesn't look like that now though.

He looks like he's gained muscle.

Looking at him, you'd hardly guess, other than his completely awkward nature and the fact that he has sustained the big glasses.

He seems to work out a little and his face is less pale...

He turns around to face me and pushes his glasses up his face.

"Yes, Santiago?" He asks me.

I pass him the note.

He opens it and then his face lights up like a Christmas tree.

"This for me?" He asks.

I shrug, not wanting to lie completely to the poor boy.

He grins at me and to my surprise, he scrunches it up into a tiny ball.

"You must have fuckin thought" he mutters.

He closes one eye and aims the paper ball at the front desk.

No way is he going to actually do it...

Ben flicks the piece of paper and it hits Mr Ross in the neck and he flinches, rubbing the back of his neck slightly.

He did it.

Mr Ross turns away from the white board and looks down at the small paper.

He picks it up.

"Who threw this?" He asks.

"Erm... I think it came from Lilly's corner of the class sir!" Ben stutters, feigning shyness.

To say I'm shocked, would be an understatement.

"What?!" Lilly shrieks.

"You liar!" She yells, standing up and glaring daggers at Ben.

The whole class are watching now...

He mocks fear, blinking a couple of times.

"Sir, I feel threatened!" He squeaks, clearly mocking her, but Mr Ross can't seem to tell.

"Alright, calm down, we'll soon find out" Mr Ross mutters, rolling his eyes.

He unfolds the piece of paper and reads it.

His face slowly reddens and he clears his throat, before continuing.

"Erm, Lilly head to the principal's office, where this will be discussed shortly" he says.

He looks so painfully embarrassed.

She gasps and protests, but eventually does as she is told, sauntering out of the classroom, with her ass out. 

She looks like Daisy Duck.

I stare at Ben, slack-jawed.

He shrugs at me as if he knows what I am going to say.

Just as he does this, the bell rings, signalling the end of lunch.

I walk out of the classroom with him still in shock.

"So are you going to invite me to sit with you, or do I gotta ask?" He asks me, looking me directly in the eyes.

"Er- sure, let's go" I say, still in a daze.

What the hell?!
