I was instantly surrounded by his scent and knew it was his room. He left in the darkness and I heard his footsteps before the light went on.
the room was simple enough with blue walls and black furniture. There were a couple of shirts on the floor but it wasn’t a ss.
"nice room" I said walking and sitting on the edge of the bed "Are you sure no one would mind that I’m here?"
"Nah" he said sitting next to "As long as we don’t cause trouble no one cares" I nodded and we remained in silence after a while he finally spoke "After this night...can we still et?"
"I guess so" I said "But I live away from here we can’t see each other a lot"
"So we’ll talk on the phone, email...there’s a million ways.My friend, Xavier. He talks to this girl on email they t a while ago and they’ve beco best friends and they haven’t even t except for sending pictures. here, lok give your phone"
I pulled out my phone and gave it to him and he wrote sothing and then showed the screen, he had added himself as a contact "you can call " he said "Anyti"
"Why?" I asked, not believing a guy like him would want to stay in touch with a girl like
"because you’re amazing Anne" he said and my eyes watered, no one had ever said that to His expression turned to confusion "Why are you crying?"
I chuckled "Can you do a favor Adrian?" I asked and he imdiately;y nodded while gently wiping my tears. "Kiss "
He seed surprised but then he smiled and a strand of my hair behind my ears and grabbed my chin and tilted my head towards him. As soon as his lips brushed mine we imdiately started kissing passionately. The kiss deepened, his tongue brushing my bottom lip, asking for entrance which I imdiately granted.
I fell back on the mattress with him hovering over , still kissing passionately. I found myself tracing the muscles on his chest as he shuddered.
"Anne" he said against my lips and I ignored him and continued kissing him "God...Anne, we have to stop"
He pulled away and rolled away from , breathing heavily with his hands clenched. I felt the sting rejection, of course he wouldn’t want . Luke didn’t and he certainly wouldn’t.
"I...I’m sorry"
He apparently sensed the hurt in my voice and sighed before he turned "I’m sorry Anne I just...didn’t want to lose control with you. I really like you Anne and I want to give us a shot, we have a lot to talk about." I nodded still not believing him "Anne, I an it" he crawled on the bed and wrapped in his arms when he reached so that my head was on his chest.
I nodded not speaking just loving the feel of his arms around , he provided enough warmth that I found myself taking off my scarf and throwing it to the floor.
Adrian kept brushing my hair the calming motion making sleepy "Adrian?" I said sleepily
"Yeah?"
"Thank you" I said and barely heard him saying ’for what?’’ before I fell asleep.
"NATE" Lucy said breaking out of my daydream. I looked at her and saw her yawning "Why weren’t you answering ?" She asked sleepily
"I got distracted" I said sweetly and then looked at Charles and Claire "Do you guys want to go to bed?"
Charles shook his head "I want to wait for Uncle Adrian" he said and I grimaced, I hadn’t seen Adrian all day and for that I was thankful. After the awkward dinner the other day when Patrick kept dropping hints that and him are together and Adrian was getting madder and madder.
"Lily said Adrian was going to be late Char, you need to go to bed, okay?"
"but I don’t want to go to bed" Claire said "I have nightmares"
I looked at her in confusion "of what sweetheart"
"of mommy and daddy" she said and I felt my heart ache for her, it wasn’t fair for these kids to lose their parents.
"I’ll tell you what" I said "if you go to sleep now I’ll sing to you the song I used to sing to my brother before he went to sleep okay?"
Claire’s face lit up and she ran to her bed, so did Lucy and Charles. I chuckled and walked towards the bed.
"So now you want to sleep" I teased and Claire giggled
"please sing the song Nate" Lucy said and I nodded, I hadn’t even thought of the song ever since Gabriel died.
I sat on the edge of Claire’s bed and reached out and brushed her hair and started singing.
I was never alive
Till the day i was blessed with you
When I hold you late at night
I know what I was put here to do
I started rembering all the nights I spent next to Gabriel when he was sick just praying he’d get better.
I turn off the world and listen to you sigh
And I will Sing my angel’s lullaby
Know I’m forever near, the one you can always call
Right now all you know to fear, are the shadows on your wall
My eyes started watering rembering when I sang the song to him the last ti, I knew he wouldn’t wake up when he slept and the tears rolled down my face
I’m here, close enough to kiss the tears you cry
and I will sing my angel’s lullaby
My voice started breaking as I kept singing, mories of Gabriel finally coming to mind. I hadn’t allowed myself to think so much about him, rembering my promise not to cry.
So tell how to stop the years from wasting
Is there a secret soone knows
