CHAPTER 38

I dragged my suitcase out of my flat. I decided to take a taxi to the airport. Outside, I saw that Mike was standing next to the car. I walk towards him. Mike greets me "Good morning, Miss. Give me your suitcase to me. I'll put it to the trunk"

I frowned "Mike, I don't remember having an appointment with Adam today. I have to go to airport."

While putting my suitcase into the trunk, Mike said "Sir orders. He asked me to pick you up and take you to the airport". I shrugged and got into the car.

Arrived at the airport and said goodbye to mike, I headed for the checkpoint. Finished with everything, I entered the waiting room. I see Professor Agnes is waiting there, she's on the phone. She saw me and waved her hand. I went to her and sat next to her, waiting for her finish calling.

"You have studied the material that I gave right ?"

"I have, I also looked for other material related to the discussion needed."

"Good.When we arrive at the hotel we'll discuss it again. Anyway, You have no problem getting on the plane right ?"

I smiled at her while putting my bag on the chair.

"No. I traveled quite a lot with my Dad."

She nodded then returned busy with her work. I took out my phone and saw a message from Adam.

Sweetheart, be careful. Turn off your phone while on the plane. I'll catch up with you later.

I love you, Adam

I smile reading his message. Soon I heard our departure call. Professor Agnes and I cleared our belongings and headed to the plane.

On the plane, I see it's not too crowded. I sat by the window, I took out phone from my pocket and typed a message for Adam

I'm on the plane, I'll let you know when I land

Gia

I looked out the window. I'm honestly happy if I have time alone like this. I can think of many things without being bothered by others. I hope my Dad is okay. I hope that yesterday just a regular check-up. I thought when I got home from the symposium, I'll take him for recreation. It's been a long time since we spent time together.

My mind drifted to Adam, after our meeting with my parents. I saw how Adam interacted with them. Especially my Dad, he seems to accept him. I trust his judgment. Usually he doesn't misjudge people.Although we haven't discussed further about Adam. But from the way he treated him, I could tell that my Dad like him.

I love being with Adam, he really cares for me. If all this time I have to look strong and have to endure alone. But with him, I can be my self, he always supporting me. If I'm sad, he always there beside me and always there when I need help. He always treats me like I'm the only woman for him.

Professor Agnes and I walked together out of the airport, after all the examinations were completed. There was a car waiting for us in front. We were escorted to the hotel where the symposium was. It turned out that our place to stay was in the same hotel as the symposium.

Professor Agnes said that the symposium was tomorrow morning. So this evening I was told to rest in my room. After receiving my key room. I rushed up the elevator to find my room. In my room, I put my suitcase on the bed. I sit on the edge, pull out my phone from my pocket and called my Dad.

"Hi Dad, how are you ? Are you okay ? I miss you. I just arrived in Singapore. I'm here for a week"

I heard my Dad laugh "I'm fine, Gia. Is Adam there too ? Be careful there"

"He'll catch me later. I will, Dad"

I closed my phone then opened my suitcase, I pick up my pajamas then take a shower. I took my laptop and climbed into my bed. I want to study the material for tomorrow, so there are no mistakes. I heard a knock on my door. I'm not waiting for guests or ordering food. I walked to my door.

When I opened the door, it was Adam. He wears a white shirt, his sleeves are rolled up and his hair is messy, he looked so tired. He grabbed me into his arms.

"I miss you, Sweetheart"

I rubbed his back "I miss you, too. You look so tired"

I let go of his arms and held his hand then took him into my room. He sat on the edge of my bed and then pulled me into his lap. I wrap my arms around his neck.

"Why did you just come now ? Are you busy ?"

He put his head in my chest while wrapping his hands around my waist "I have to sort things out"

I stroked his hair "You stay here too ?"

He staring into my eyes and raise his eyebrows " I remember the last time we were together, We slept in the same room."

My face immediately red like tomato, I pushed myself farther into his chest. He chuckled and rubbing my hair "You so cute". He cupped my cheek and kissed my lips slowly until I gasped. I got up from his lap and say "Fine, you can stay here but take a shower first. You smell so bad" I pretended to squeeze my nose. He laughed at my act.I was looking at my laptop screen when Adam came out of the bathroom. He climbed onto the bed and closed my laptop and moved it on the table.

I frowned and said "I wasn't done. Why did you close my laptop ?"

He was staring directly at me. He made the first move by claiming my lips with his. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me over to straddle his legs. My mind was at bliss and the only thing on it was him. He pushed his hips down onto him and I jumped as the unfamiliar feeling surged through my body.

He groaned and I could feel him grind his hips into mine making me moan softly as I pulled away from the kiss. His face looked like it was in pain and his eyes were closed as he laid his head back. I ran my hands through his hair and he sighed enjoying my fingers running through. I frowned as I felt something on the inside of my leg. I looked down and gasped as I quickly looked back up at him.

He heard me and lifted his head as he rose an eyebrow. I pointed downward and he looked down and sighed as he looked back up.

"You have a problem" I said trying to break the awkward silence when in reality I was embarrassing my self.

"Usually I'm able to control it but .. I guess I'm a bit excited "

I nodded my head and tried to not look down. The awkward silence was overbearing and I felt myself blush even more as it twitch against my leg.

"Are you not going to take care of ... " I trailed off and he shook his head.

"Don't touch me for a good 10 minutes and I should just be fine" He said. I laid under the duvet and kept my back to him as I started to drift off. Right before I fell asleep I felt an arm slip around my waist and an inaudible whisper in my ear.
