Chapter 151: It's been fifteen years already

I WOKE UP WITH FEELINGS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS ALL OVER ME. As I yawned and stretched my hands, I heard cloud snoring right next to me and I smiled and kissed him. I missed him so much and I was going to make sure I make him understand that.

I sat up and pushed the sheets over, looking on the other half of the bed. It was empty....

Where was Adam???

I got out of bed and pushed my feet into my flipflops but to my surprise, my eyes landed on the table that was suddenly in my room and a whole collection of different dishes on it.

"Talk of breakfast in bed...." I tucked my hair behind my ears and walked to the table.

"Cloud...get up....you have to see this....." I called opening the dishes one by one.

Cereal, porridge, bacon, eggs, huevos, ice cream, yoghurt, oats, milk, juice, coffee and so many more food. Talk of fruits, salads, pudding.

"Wooww....." Was all I managed to say as I walked over to the table.

I sat down and pulled the plate of cereal close to me. I was about to start eating when cloud started barking. Either he missed me or he was hungry...two things involved!

I looked at him and offered to help him get on the table. He placed his paw in my hands and I pulled him up, placing him on the table. I squeezed the dishes to occupy half the table so that Cloud takes up the remaining space.

I was happy to finally be with him. I don't even remember when last it was that we were in touch.

."Am sorry I've been too busy for you baby...." I kissed his head and gave him the bacon.

"Yeah....the bacon I sweater to make for the love of my life is being served to a dog ..." Adam whined as he walked in from behind me.

"Thank you for the breakfast babe....but when did this single dinner set get into the room????" I asked trying to change the topic.

He saw through my deceit and shook his head walking to the table as well. Because there was one chair, he sat on the bed instead and I offered shin the bowl of oats.

"Thank you...." He received it with gladness and we both enjoyed our meals. From time to time, I'd look in his direction because I still couldn't believe that this was real. He actually came all the way from England just to make me breakfast in bed.

Wow....what else do you have up your sleeve Adam??? I asked myself and turned my attention back to my bowl.

"So....how far done are you with the portrait????" I asked.

"Oh..." He swallowed and looked at me. "We'd barely began when I asked them I had to come back....."

"Really?????" I asked the smile on my face fading.

"Yeah.....I have other important things to do Eleanor other than painting someone's portrait...."

"Which are???" I asked curiously.

"Making sure you get breakfast in bed...." He wiggled his eyebrows and I smiled.

"Please....." I scoffed and turned to let cloud. He was almost done with his bacon and I poured the milk in a bowl allowing it to cool for him.

"I really appreciate the way you're treating my breakfast...." Adam, yet again, chipped in and I looked in his direction.

"I am very grateful...thank you....." I smiled at him and decided to try something else.

I pushed my chair back and walked to were he was , sitting right on his lap.

"Oh..." He gasped. "This is new...." He furrowed his eyebrows and I lowered my head almost to touch his nose with mine.

"You know .....am really happy that you came back....." I began and he gave me that look that he loved were this was going.

"I just had to....." He raised his head finally touching his nose with mine. I held both sides of his face and looked down into his eyes. As I looked into his eyes, trying to see into the depths of that dark browness, it hit me. It was subtle, but it hit me. The rush of attraction that quickly invaded my entire being making me assume my humanity once again. Why did I get attracted to him each time??? It's been fifteen years already...

I smiled and he smiled back. I witnessed as he looked over his shoulder gazing at Cloud, as if making sure he wasn't looking. Then, he pulled me against him and kissed me. A soft kiss; not giving me time to react. Oh Adam...

"I got you something," He whispered, his lips breathing words against hers. He reached into his pocket and took out a tiny box and for a second I thought he was proposing to me.

Then, I decided I'd repent and not be the freak I was. Whether he does or not, it'll get to happen one day and that was a fact.

"Open it" he nodded and kisses my nose after placing the box in my hand. I took a deep breath and opened it.

Suddenly, my heartbeat got increased and I was shocked. I wasn't able to move even, it was something like explosion of energy within and it sure caused me a stiffening picture and rigid muscles.

My eyes couldn't come off of the beautiful hairpin that was in the box. It was made of emerald and had a golden band beneath the deep green.

"Do you like it???" He asked and I nodded. Of course I did.

I let out deep breaths and looking at him, I figured there's only one thing I'd do to make it work here...

Having placed the pin down, I kissed him by surprise and his hesitance gave it away. It was almost as if he hadn't wanted to kiss me. His mouth was hard on mine, unyielding; then he put both arms around me and pulled me against him. Whether we missed each other or what, we both fueled the kiss and got us both sweating over it.

Collapsing on top of him when he was spent, we both tried to get our breath back. I stared into his eyes and gently put my lips on his, which soon became a deep passionate kiss. I really missed my Adam....
