Chapter One Hundred and Forty Two - Two Lost Souls!

"I've absolutely no problem with you being a girl" Adian laughs, hugging me. "in fact, it's one of your better qualities!" Adian laughs drawing me towards him.

Pouting, "okay, that came out wrong and that's not what I meant, but I guess it will do for now" I blush, relaxing, inhaling my body bath scent on him.

Caressing my hair, "Hailey we really do need to talk and soon, because so many things are happening and all seem to be targeting you." Adain, was saying and I froze for a moment, then sits up.

Staring into his eyes, "targeting me?" I repeated with concern.

Staring down at me, Adian, nods, "I have a gut feeling", he says looking away "that this, this, f***ing Shaw and Emmy's stepfather are working for, or with someone." He admitted, looking away. towards the TV screen, his voice trailing of, appearing deep in thoughts.

I didn't add or ask any questions based on Adian's response, the both of us getting absorbed in our thoughts.

Would Amelia, link up with a criminal, like Ellis to hurt me and maybe even remove me from Adian's life and SullaKinghts, permanently?

It's a scary thought and if it is true, I lifted my eyes to look at Adian, who still seem lost in thought. Could he be thinking the same thing? Could he be thinking that his mother has something to do with Ellis coming back in my life and using Mr. Shaw to lure me out.

"What are you thinking?" My voice breaks, as I sat up straight and ask him. This is something I've never ask anyone before and I can't believe I've gotten this bold, but I need to know I should be on the alert about his mother.

Shaking his head, as he continues to stare at the TV screen, "I'm not sure where my thoughts are at right now" he admits, finally looking at me, then looks away again, shaking his head, "I'm not sure" he mummers softly, to himself.

I leaned back on the sofa, but this time, not as close to him as before. Why does it always end up this way? Two people, always locked in their own emotional bubble, Never allowing anyone beyond a certain point.

How can we exist as couple, united in love, working together, when we keep things hidden to ourselves?

"Other than Bas and sometimes Gerard, it's difficult for me to open up since..." his voice trails off and he pauses, seemingly lost on the TV screen.

Sensing there's more to what he's considering or thinking about, "since?" I prompted him.

He just looked at me with a bland expression and once again, shook his head.

Having a feeling that's it's 'her', who makes it impossible for him to open up, upsets me as a pang of jealously hits me, bam, in the chest!

Moving to get up, "I'm sleepy!" I responded to the questioning look he gave me and again, he nods and looks away!

I lied about being sleepy, so I took another bottle of wine, from the refrigerator, looking around the clean kitchen, laughing softly to myself, for reprimanding Mel and Basil the way, nanny Pierce did to me.

Taking a pillow and a blanket, I ventured unto the enclosed balcony outside my bedroom, to think, dream and sleep!

Waking up with nothing else than a headache from a hangover, on my bed! I shook my head, as I tried to remember coming back inside, from the balcony.

Throwing myself back on the bed, arms spread, wishing I was lying out on the cool water in a pool.

The bathroom door shut with a small thud, but I still heard it and turn to see Adian walking towards a tote bag that's thrown on the floor.

I admire the physique of this man, to whom I'm married. The muscles on his arms bulging adding to his sexual appeal, and he totally appeals to me, as I stare at him, mentally drooling.

Turning on my side I adjust myself comfortably, watching him drop the one small towel, that's wrapped around his hips.

I gasp when the towel falls to the floor, but not because of the mess he's making in my room, but at how hot and bothered I've become, just looking at him.

My former roommate will have a fit if she sees, the prude she use to make fun of, now.

I hid my face in the covers, when Adian turned around, hearing me gasp, aloud!

"The show bored you to sleep?" I heard him ask, beside the bed and I look up shyly, only to come face to face, or more like face to c**k as he stood naked in front of me.

I shamelessly, continued stating at him, my eyes raising to meet the smirk, he's staring down at me with, chuckling as I licked my lips, thirstily.

Adian, moves the covers and slid beside me, our eyes locked on each other and without uttering a word, he leaned on me, his lips and hands doing all the communication, we needed, to start our day.

When I awoke from sleep again, I bolted upright, without a second thought, I ran into the bathroom, to shower and start my day.

I hustled, because I'm thirsty and hungry, plus angry at Adian for keeping me back and now I'm late and by the way the sun's shinning outside, I know we're late.

Since there's no sight of Adian I quickly dressed, pulling on, an all black mini dress adding a white blazer, that drops to the same length of the dress.

I grimace at my reflection in the mirror, at the length of the dress. I love it, but my husband doesn't by the look in his eyes whenever he see my outfits.

Frowning at my butt and hips that I've definitely added a few extra pounds to. Sighing because I've got to start back working out in my downstairs.
