Demonic Art 4

My nerves could not handle the rest of the week, as it got closer to the show dates. Sam had to explain to Adam just to give me space at certain times. There was one incident, the day before the show, that made me fall deep in love with him.

I was buried in a large pile of blankets, while my bedroom door was locked. I was filled with panic and anxiety for the next day. All I could see was judging looks everywhere if I go out. Nothing looks good enough for the show or out in public.

"Should we break down the door?" I heard Adam's voice behind the door.

"Just let him rest his nerves for a while. He gets overly panicked before revealing any art piece, and this is like times ten compared to normal. He will come out when he gets hungry." He said and then I heard running footsteps. "What the hell, man?"

I heard something tapping on my bedroom window. I moved the curtain, expecting a bird, instead, I saw Adam with a picnic basket.

"What are you doing? You could die from accidentally falling from this height!" I yelled at him as I opened the window.

He had an innocent smile as I dragged him inside.

"You need to keep up your strength." I was about to open my mouth to talk about the art show but he stopped me. "I can't have you fainting mid-kiss."

"I would faint anyway from the way you kiss."

He stayed with me all night long and only left to get more food. The morning of the show was interesting, to say the least. I heard the two of them talking as I walked into the kitchen.

"We should tell him before this gets worse," Adam told Sam.

"I already contacted the gallery to increase security."

"What is going on?" I asked and they jumped in their seats.

Sam had a guilty look on his face as he pulled a box out from under the table.

"I have been hiding the fact that you have a stacker." He pulled out a stack of letters. "This started after you sold your first art piece. I have contacted the police multiple times but they refuse to look until it becomes life-threatening."

I was debating on smacking or thanking him, so I chose to smack him.

"You should have told me after the first letter." I took a deep breath before continuing. "But the damage has already been done."

He gave me a guilty smile before changing the subject.

"We need to get ready for your show. Adam picked out the suit for you."

After we got changed, I was shocked at the colors of Adam's suit. A black suit with green tie and vest, and gold stitches all across it. It looked incredible on him by making his natural colors shine. My suit was black with a nice cream vest. A dark blue tie brought out the color of my dark blue eyes.

"Absolutely stunning.' I heard Adam whisper and Sam started snickering at my face.

I flipped him off before we left for the show. As we walked, I could feel someone's gaze on the back of my neck. Adam slipped his hand into mine as we continued. Sam was the main one talking to the gallery curator when we got there, and I stayed back. The outfit felt stuffy and tight as the room started to fill with people. Adam stayed by my side as Sam was bouncing between people.

Right now, he was talking to a large round balloon, which was actually a rich woman. She was laughing at all of his bad jokes as he was attempting to make her his sugar mama. I looked around and realized that this was an alcohol-free party, which means no drunken Sam again.

"Evans, all of the artworks are perfect, just like you." A guy said as he walked up to us. "I was worried that after you found someone else, that you would lose your artistic charm. But, I have seen it get better with this side lover."

I felt Adam's hand tighten in my grip as I was getting a bad feeling from this guy.

"Yes, as you pointed out, he is taken," Adam said with a possessive growl in his voice.

I had to focus on the words because that growl was sexy, I wonder if I could make him growl in different ways.

"You are not for Evans! He deserves someone that has been there ever since he started. You are just some random stranger that is feeding on his fame."

As this guy was talking, it felt like the room was shrinking as everyone started to stare at us. They continued shouting but it sounded like white noise. My breathing started to pick up, as they got worse.

"Security!" Sam's voice rang out and snapped me out of my panic. "Get this person off the property!"

The guards started digging through the man's pockets and found items that suggest he was going to kidnap me later. So this was the stalker that Sam was warning me about. As they were dragging the guy away, Adam took me to the janitorial closet as the panic started to come back. He closed the door and pulled me to his chest.

"Slowly breath in and out, follow my pattern." I slowly started to follow him. "I am here and you will never be alone again. I will always be there for you."

Small tears were coming down my face and I was worried about messing up his suit. His fingers were slowly going through my hair as the other was lightly tapping my fingers to match my breathing pattern.

"Please don't leave me right now."

"No matter the reason, I will stay by your side. Even if you need some alone time, I will never be too far away to hear your voice."

I felt happy that the gods chose me to be blessed with Adam. Nevertheless, I felt bad about the tear streaks going down the front of his jacket from me.

"I am so sorry for ruining your nice outfit," I said between sniffles.

"Clothes are replaceable, but your wellbeing can never be replaced." I kept on looking at the tearstains, so he took off his jacket. "There, if you are that worried, now no one can see them."

His green vest did very little to hide the muscles under his shirt. As my eyes moved up, they caught his and he had a sexy smile on his face. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against my forehead. He had this calming relaxing aura around him that was helping fight the panic.

"Thank you."

"It was no problem, now they should be done with all the drama by now."

"I don't want to go back out there. They are expecting some fancy artist like Da Vinci or Michaelo."

"No, they came here expecting Evans and it will only be long enough for one final goodnight. Then I am taking you home and dragging you to bed." My face started to burn from the blushing. "Just so you can curl up next to me for much-needed relaxation."

"I love you so much right now."

"I love you with all my heart."
