Butterflies

A story about Bree and Adam

Her mission is to be the best, the fastest and smartest. All she has to do is keep her head in the game. She's been doing it all this time and day by day, she's getting stronger and better. What she hasn't planned for was new feelings creeping in. Feelings when she's a little to close to Adam. Why him? Chase wasn't her biological brother either and very handsome. Kind too. Not arrogant like Adam can be. Or mean. Yeah Chase has never been mean. Yet, Bree felt drawn too Adam in a different way. Her cheeks began to flush as the embarrassment of actually thinking Adam is attractive. Why couldn't she have these desires for Chase? Why Adam?!

"Hey Bree what's up" Adam says as he interrupts her daydreaming while she stood next to a punching bag.

"Oh hey Adam" trying to cover up any blushing. Playing it cool she began hitting the punch bag that hung from the ceiling in the exercise room.

"Ahh working out ehh? Good for you" as he takes a bite out of a Granny Smith Apple practically eating it all in one bite. Adam sat down at near by table picking up a magazine. He faced Bree while she was working out. This made her feel self conscious. Why did he have to be here?

"Umm, you going to stay there or do you need anything? She asked trying to give him the hint to leave.

"Nope" he confidently said and bit the other half of the Apple. He sat back and relaxed his arms watching her. This infuriated Bree. She didn't like him watching her. She couldn't pay attention. Adam sensing Bree is conflicted stands up and walks towards her and the punching bag

Bree flustered and started looking around her to see if he was looking at something else. Adam walked right up to her. His right hand raised and went towards her face. What was he doing?! She stood frozen as he grabbed a piece of her hair and put it behind her ear.

"There. You seem a little distracted Bree. Is everything okay? You can trust me. I'm always hear for you" Adams brown eyes looked deeply in her eyes. She wanted to get lost in his gaze when TJ walked in disrupting their moment. Adam took a step back. Bree noticed this movement and took note of it.

"Adam, Bree, there's a freaking omelet bar in the gymnasium. It's so awesome. You both need to check it out" TJ excited reported and turned around and headed out of the room. This left Adam and Bree alone again causing tension in the air. Bree opened her mouth to say something but quickly closed it. She smiled at Adam and nodded. Finally she said "Omelet bar. Sounds very cool. I'm going to finish up here and see you later" she began punching the bag again. Adam stood there motionless. What was he doing just standing there? Uhh boys are so confusing. Bree just punched the bag harder. Adam didn't move.

"Adam, do you need something because I'm trying to exercise and you're distracting me"

He stared at her and his eyes fell to the floor. He was playing with his feet. Wait...was he..nervous? Bree pondered the thought and smiled.

He looked at her and a confused look came over his face. "What are you smiling about? Bree immediately stopped. "Ohh nothing. I didn't realize I was smiling. Just thinking of what kind of omelet I want. Maybe a cheese and bacon one" Adam looked at her intensely.

"Bree...I hope you know that, I think you're amazing" Bree stood there and slowly smiled. The words came out before she knew it "You think I'm amazing?

Adam stepped closer and responded not a breath later "Of course I do. Bree, I want you-"

"Guys! Omelet bar baby! As a series of people began piling in the room. Adam looked at Bree and nodded. He jammed both his hands in his pockets, turned and walked out. The rest of the group began surrounding Bree showing off their creations of the omelets they choose. She stared at the entrance that Adam walked out of replaying the words he just said

"I want you" oh wow. What did she think of this? She couldn't help be excited and every inch of her body was on fire. She felt like bouncing off the walls. This could only mean one thing. Bree likes Adam. Wow. That's new. She said it over again in her head "I like Adam" then reality sunk in. 'Ohh no...I like Adam. What does this mean Bree? She walked in circles. No one noticing her walking aimlessly conflicted by her answer to a question she's been avoiding asking herself. One thing was for sure...she felt butterflies when Adam was around.
