Adeline Nicole Watson, or Addie as her friends call her, has always been good and proper. It's how her parents raised her. But inside she felt bored and restless and often wanted to speak out, but held her tongue. Boring boyfriends, sex a few times, that was, let's just say, not repeatable for her. 

In high school, she could only date from prominent families. The type of guys her parents approved of. All of them, 3 to be exact, bored her to death. Just before graduation, she let one take her virginity just to get it over with. 

Her parents, Lydia and Leander, Lee for short, were quiet, well-respected people in her town. They were strict, followed all the rules, and forbade her to hang out with any undesirable friends. Wanting to please her parents, Addie followed all their rules.

Addie knew as soon as she started high school, she wanted to be a nurse. Not just any nurse, but a NICU nurse. She loved babies and loved to care for them. She took nursing classes in a vocational school while in high school. She did multiple babysitting jobs for money. Retail and fast food were just not for her, nor boring office jobs.

During the summer, she and a couple of her friends would hang out at the local beach. The local biker club would occasionally be there also. There was one particular guy she was always drawn to. She made sure to never get caught staring.

She would allow herself to fantasize what it would be like to be a bad girl. To hang out with bikers. To speak her mind and not worry if she was being right or wrong. She had talked to her mom once about it.

Her mom just told her she was being foolish and influenced by those horrible romance books she liked to read. She told her she needed to live in the real world. Dress and talk a certain way to get a good guy for a husband and to pick a respectable career.

Addie was 18, two months before graduation. She had been dating Greg, the quarterback, for the last year. She finally gave him her virginity a couple of weeks ago. Tonight, she was supposed to babysit, but the little boy came down with a stomach bug. She decided to skip the game and meet up with him at the after party.

The house was crowded, and she started asking people if they had seen Greg. She didn't find him downstairs or out back around the pool. So she decided to look upstairs. She just had a bad feeling. This seemed just like every movie she saw or book she read.

The first door she opened was a couple of friends she knew. They were smoking weed. One asked if she wanted a hit. She politely declined. The second and third doors had couples in various stages of sex. At the fourth door she found him. Of course, he wasn't alone. He was balls deep in someone.

"Seriously Greg!" Addie retorted.

Greg jumped up and spun around. "Addie? Uh, what are you doing here?"

"Catching a no-good cheating boyfriend, obviously." She replied.

"I can explain." He started. The girl on the bed just gave her a snarky look.

"Save it!" Addie replied. "Of all the girls in the school why her?"

Greg responded. "She was easy?"

"Hey!" Celeste replied.

Addie just turned and walked out, slamming the door behind her. She heard him hollering her name but didn't stop. Good girls don't make scenes. When she got home, she boxed up all his stuff then drove it to his house and left it on his porch.

He called and texted her, but Addie told him it was over to leave her alone. She finally had to block his number. She told her mom and dad what had happened. They called his parents and told them what had happened and to keep their son away from their daughter. 

That Monday at school, Celeste was acting like the queen of the school. Addie could hear her telling her friends about how she hooked up with Greg. Having heard enough, she slammed her locker and walked up to her.

"You think your so slick messing with another girl's boyfriend? Let me enlighten you. I had him for a year. You had him for one night. Yes, I'm done with him! Mark my words he'll do the same to you!" Addie retorted.

"You're just jealous he came to me. I know how to keep my man happy." Celeste smirked.

Fifteen seconds later, Greg walked by with his arm around another girl. Celeste went off on him and while they were arguing, Addie walked away. Glad she found out now what kind of guy he was. She had thought herself in love with him.

The situation did sting a lot, but if it was humiliation or heartbreak or both, she wasn't sure. She was still in shock having spoken her mind to Celeste like she did. That was not like her. But it felt good. Her mom would be so disappointed if she found out how she had reacted.

Graduation came and went. She, her mom, and dad celebrated, and then she packed up and left for college. It was time to spread her wings and do something she wanted to do for a change.

Her first year of college was spent studying and adjusting to college. She went home at least once a month and all holidays to visit her mom and dad. A few times she'd seen the hot biker boy she had crushed on for years. He never even looked her way.

Her second year, she met Ford. He was studying law. His family had money and status. Both his parents were lawyers. Of course, her mom and dad approved of him.

For six months, things were great. Then he started being distant. Fewer texts and calls. Fewer dates, which he said was due to his classes. Addie was restless in the relationship. She felt like there really wasn't one anymore.

Addie felt he was hiding something from her. Two months went by and she'd had enough. She showed up at his apartment and had decided they were going to talk or just go their separate ways. She hated feeling like she wasn't important to him and being ignored.

When he opened the door, he was shocked. He was in a pair of shorts and nothing else. And he was holding the door as if he wouldn’t let her in. She immediately knew something was up.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I can't come see my boyfriend." She replied.

"Of course you can, I just wished you'd called first." He replied.

"How when you hardly answer my calls and seem to have forgotten I exist?" She shoved past him and went straight to his room.

Déjà vu all over again. Some woman she'd never seen was naked in his bed. She was sitting up with her arms crossed giving her or Ford a dirty look. Addie wasn't sure which one as Ford was right behind her.

"A little advice, he cheated on me, he'll cheat on you." Addie explained.

"Not if he knows what my daddy will do to him!" She replied.

Addie turned to leave and Ford followed her. He grabbed her arm. She jerked it away from him. 

"Don't you dare touch me! You have NO right to anymore!" She spat.

"Look, I need to explain." Ford replied. "My parents and hers are good friends. They're pushing this relationship to bond the families. They've got social status."

"Oh and I'm a lowly nurse who's just from an average parent's home with no money and no status!" She interrupted. "Trust me when I say that makes it worse!"

Addie walked out, slamming the door behind her. She finished college and started nursing classes to work her way up to being a NICU nurse. She went on a few dates but never got serious with any guys the rest of her education.

After she got her license, she moved back home, and back in with her parents. She caught her first glimpse of the biker boy who was now a man at the beach. It had been almost a year since she last saw him. He now had tattoos, and had filled out nicely. 

She would occasionally see him around town and each time allow her imagination to run wild. Her fantasies were the only fun she had. Of course, she kept them to herself.
