Chapter 62

"Finally!" Adrian says and Kelly rolls her eyes at him. "I thought you were also going to raise the babies you gave birth to in there" he says to her with sarcasm and she scowls at him

 

He looks at his dress on her body. "I must say.. you look good in my clothes" he compliments her

 

"Oh please don't patronize me. I look like a potato in a sack" she says to him and he can't help but laugh. She folds her arms across her chest, flicks her hair that's blocking her eyes and curves her mouth like she's tired.

 

"For real Kelly.. you look good in my clothes" he said reassuring her and she  looks at him with a surprised look.

 

"Did Adrian just compliment how I look?" She mentally asks herself but she quickly shakes off the ridiculous thought from her mind.

 

"So.. what do we do today?" He asks her.

 

"We'll keep writing about love?" She says. "That's exhausting" Adrian says and Kelly isn't surprised by his statement.

 

She rubs her face thinking of how to solve her biggest challenge on this project which is getting Adrian to do write his own part of the project.

 

Adrian just sits there crossing his arm on the table and placing his face in between his crossed palms while his hands lean on the table waiting for Kelly to say something.

 

"Look Kelly this project--" he's cut off by Kelly. "I think I know how to help you with your phones for love" she says.

 

"I don't have a phobia for love" he argues with her "You do" she says to him with this "who are you kidding look".

 

He looks at her "Fine!.. call it a phobia". He says reluctantly and she clasps her hands together contentedly. He shakes his head at her gesture and nearly chuckles but he decided not to. "What do you have in mind?" He asks.

 

"Well.. for starters you might want to tell me why you don't believe in love" she says.

 

"Huh?.. what we you now my psychologist?" He asks her "Adrian.. look I need this project done. And I'm not only tryin to help myself but to help you too" she says

 

And he flips "What do you mean by that Kelly? Do you think that I need help? Wait.. you think I'm psychologically imbalanced because I don't believe in love? Is that what you're trying to say?" He asks her in an angry voice and Kelly is taking aback by his outburst

"No Adrian!.. I'm not saying that. And I'm not trying to be your psychologist.. I just.. I just want to help you" she says but stops because she doesn't know why she said that.

 Adrian scoffs "Help me? With what?" He asks her.

 "With yourself?" She says "myself?.. I don't understand" he says.

 "Adrian.. I don't know but I just feel that your phobia for love has to do with your mind or background or maybe personal experience and it's.. it's actually stopping you from you know.. living normally?" She says the "normally" with caution and Adrian raises an eyebrow at her
