Chereads / The loveless, The helpless / Chapter 16 - Invitation

Chapter 16 - Invitation

I took a taxi to falcon resident,

My mind kept lingering on and on about Adam,

'Maybe he had his reasons, and i just met him its not like i know his personal life or so' I thought over it , next thing i know Adam is infront of me , my heart raced as he called out my name I hadn't realized thinking about him made me come all the way up to check on him.

His lips' left corner was all purple blue .

My chest squeezed when I remembered he was punched earlier.

He asked me to come in, i was slightly happy he didn't tell me to walk away since that's where he was headed , i blurtly offered to make dinner at least i'ld have some time to think of what i'll have to say about coming to his place at night .

We talked, which was not what I expected from Adam, as much as i wanted to know what happened earlier in the office I restrained my self , thinking it'ld make the atmosphere more tense , i was just happy he smiled more tonight.

Just then when i was about to head out he insisted taking me home, i still didn't want him knowing i just live down stairs. I certainly have no reason hiding ,but i just think it was absurd I happened to have a nightstand with my neighbor.

Something i'll never forget despite not remembering the details,

Some part of me is happy that its him, but the part that doesn't know the real Adam is scared of what will he think of me once he gets to know the real me too. And my unpleasant past.

Adam offered his guests room, my perverted side was looking forward to spending another hot night with him .

When he said goodnight to me , my heart clenched, I thought it was a bit early to part, i wanted to keep looking at his face, observes how many more faces he could make apart from his stoic face .

His emrald eyes were drilling a hole on my face i reflected his gaze, but when I thought of kissing him, my eyes moved to his lips, I realized how much i've been longing to taste them , before I could even think further his lips were on mine I felt a shock through my spine , it wasn't my first kiss but it felt as though. I kissed back enjoying the taste of his lips, slowly teasing our tongues. I wanted more of him .

Yet again the thought of him making out with someone else got me riled up I pushed him. I guess i was mad about it no matter what the reason was. But I couldn't shout it at him .

His eyes were filled with disappointment, excitement and lust. But i decided not to reciprocate them . Am still not over , his lips on someone else's...***

Its been somedays since i last saw Adam, i lately have no excuse to go by his office.

Am just glad Jeen moved in atleast I don't get to feel so down on my own, but she kept pleading that i just let Kir come by, she insists he's good at sealing his mouth, but i just don't want to take the risk yet, am certainly not sure yet why i still don't want Adam to know where i stay.

I sat on a stool ready to start my new paint, the thought of Adam takes over, and i just couldn't stop wrecking my brain to come up with a better excuse so i'ld go over. Am more than drawn to him beyond just being interested in him, i just feel like i want to be beside him.

My phone dings i check to see a text from Adam. I impulsively smile.

'I'ld like you to be my partner to a function'

" so straightforward " I chuckled, as much as i want to say yes, i still want to act hard .

'Am not sure'

I replied, but the texpectation was burning my gut. He was taking long .

In about four minutes he called I quickly picked the phone , took a deep breath before connecting.

" you don't see me for a week and this is what i get, straight text" i asked teasingly.

"It is urgent".

I almost lost it he really doesn't care, it's no point arguing.

" where and when?," I asked

"tomorrow night 8pm , freedom avenue".

"Okay"

" where should i pick you up ?"

" No need, i'll be at falcon residence, 7:30"

I made a white lie , he paused

" send me your color code".

I chuckled i never pecked him for someone who takes note on such details .

" That'll be hard , send me yours instead".

"Okay" . He replies and pauses

" should i stand out?",

"No!"

He replies quickly.

I laugh "okay".

And we were silent , i figured he was waiting for me to finish the conversation. But i just wanted us to keep going, even if it was just breathing, i know it's silly but then again i wanted it so dearly .

" see you tomorrow then".

" okay" and he hangs up
