CHAPTER 6

I RANG THE DOORBELL AND WAITED FOR ALMOST A SECOND FOR IT TO OPEN.

There he was, standing in his gorgeous outfit. Black pants, white shirt and black suspenders. My lips curled into a smile and I immediately threw my arms around him.

"I miss you so much...." I whispered. I ran my fingers in his hair and felt him pull me close to him by my waist.

"I missed you too....", he replied and we slowly broke the hug.

"You look incredible....",

"Say that again because it only took three stylists, two hair dressers, one make up artist, bioslimming active wrap, two hours of Pilates and like twelve pounds of moisturizer to look this way..." I grinned and wiggled my eyebrows at him.

"Wow...I uh....I took a shower....", he giggled and didn't wait for me to return the gesture. He immediately pulled me toward him and without warning, his hands secured me against his chest.

His voice disappeared between his lips and his mouth as his warm lips had already kissed their way down to my neck and across my shoulder.

He sniffed my body fragrance and I immediately knew he couldn't shake the fire in his blood.

I lifted my head slightly so he could see the blush on my cheeks plus the way my chest rose and sank as my own desire grew.

Then, in an ecstatic burn, our lips met and it bore an excitement in me. The kiss went on for as long as two minutes and I pushed him away the moment my memory recalled we were still in the hallway.

"Why'd you do that?? am very hungry you know.....", he shrugged with disappointment as he smacked his lips across mine.

"Don't you think you have to invite me in for the full meal? Am very hungry too.....", I smiled and looked at his fiery eyes.

He looked back at me and it caused my body to burn with passion. There was just something about the way he looked at me. Something that got me missing breaths and my heart missing beats...

Just something about it...

"Ehem...I uh...I think I should leave...." Aaron faked a cough and both Adam and I turned to look at him. I can imagine the shame he was drowning in after witnessing that sort of a kiss. But we'll, Adam and I are two consenting adults and there shouldn't anything about it that's wrong.

"God....if you ask me, I think I'd be surprised that you're still here.....", I grimaced causing Adam to smirk.

"Is that how you say thank you??", Adam asked looking at me and then back at Aaron. "Thank you...for bringing her safe and sound..."

"My pleasure. She actually denied me coming along but I insisted....", Aaron shrugged.

"Am not a baby anymore....", I whined.

"It doesn't matter....you need Aaron and am glad he was stubborn to come along...."

"Thanks Sir....I'll take my leave now....", Aaron bowed and left.

No sooner did he leave than I pushed Adam into the room. I shut the door behind me and quickly grabbed him closing the space between us.

He took off my wrap which I didn't notice I had on until this time. His hands savoured my hair and messed up the hard earned hairstyle. Now that my hair was shoulder length after the trim, it made it easier for him. We spent the next fifteen minutes or so savoring each others lips and my heart couldn't get enough of him. As evident by his action, neither could he.

I pushed him onto the bed and crawled to right on top of him. I smiled at him and he did back. I looked at his eyes and then his pointy nose then his lips. They were swollen from our hungry kisses I bet.

"I love you Adam... I just can't imagine me without you....", I said worriedly, almost crying.

Suddenly, out of the blue I just felt a pricking pain in my heart like I was going to lose him.

A bitter feeling spread through my heart like someone was going to take Adam away from me.

I couldn't bear the thought of that even happening.

Forget thought, I could feel it in my bones how such an incident would kill me from inside.

Adam was like the air I breathed. Without him I'd surely die.....

"Hey.....what's wrong?", he asked pushing some of my hair behind my ear. I felt his thumbs rub my cheeks and after seeing them wet, I realised I was crying.

He helped me carefully get off of him and had me sit by his side. One look at him and a river of years went streaming down my face. Thankfully I was wearing waterproof make up. It's like the make up artist knew this was going to happen.

I need to increase her pay...

definitely

"Hey...am not going anywhere.....we are not going to break up or go our separate ways. Don't you have confidence in my love???" he asked and I nodded.

"I do...." I wiped my tears and held his hand in mine, lacing our fingers.

"Can we proceed now??", he asked and I smiled.

"Maybe after we have dinner.....", I placed my fingers on his lips and pushed him away.

"Okay....", he agreed and we walked to the table.

"Don't you have a shoot today??"

"Oh I do actually. Tonight. Lauren was supposed to update me but she didn't....am still waiting for her call....", I replied.

He nodded and smiled.

"Right.....", he handed me the chopsticks and I gladly received them.

"Who knew they'd serve Chinese food in San Diego?" I joked as I tucked into the meal.

"What do you have against this place?" he asked curiously and the sly smile on his face caused me to laugh.

"I guess am just not used to this place....",

"That's alright...I guess with time you'd be able to have it cleared...."

"I sure guess so...", I replied while smiling at him.

He looked so sexy eating his food. I quickly pulled my phone out and took a picture.

"OhMyGod....", he cried.

"Come on you look sexy eating your food....", I smiled and put my phone aside.

In less than a blink, I found myself laughing no less than he was.

We shared an amazing laugh and finally finished all the dinner that we had planned.

It was a very good evening to remember.

After the food, I slipped out of my dress and into Adam's pyjamas.

Lauren had still not called and it was already 9pm.

Adam offered to drop me at the scene in case something had happened but I denied him and decided to call the director.

After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to stay put and just wait for Lauren.

Adam and I had fun that night.

We binge watched our favourite movies, favourite episodes from our favourite series and participated in a live karaoke session.

We had a pillow fight and he showed me a few tricks on how to come up with the most wonderful art. He even showed me the new masterpiece he was working on.

He told me his earlier exhibit gallery collection was doing so well on the market and was chosen to be displayed at Louvre museum in Paris.

I couldn't he happier for him.

His life was working out and happiness for him meant the same for me.

I was happy and proud of him and this made my love for him grow even more....

Looking at him smile like that made me realise we had come so far to this point. I wasn't going to let anything come in my way. Not even Fate. I know there are times when destiny conspires against the will of heart but if it's a fight destiny wanted from me, then a fight it was going to get.

I knew and believed in my heart, nothing can ever separate me from Adam Jenner. My one true love....
