Adrianna's PoV

6:30 AM. My phone rang loudly, rudely waking me out of my sleep. I groaned reaching for it, and cursed as I knocked it off the stand, knowing I'd have to get out of bed to get it. Throwing off the covers, I swung my legs around and reached down to answer it.

"Hello?" I snapped. "What do you want?"

"Adrianna? It's me, Yuki." An exhausted voice came through the phone.

"Yuki! Do you know how long I've been trying to reach you?" I exclaimed, awake now.

"I know. I caught the flu and went to stay at Hatori's. I ended up leaving my phone at the house. I'm sorry." He explained.

"Oh. How are you feeling now then?" I asked, my tone softening with worry.

"I'm alright. Anyway was there something important I need to know? It sounded like there was from all of those phone calls." He asked me, sounds of a crowded area coming through.

"Not really. I'm pretty much settled in the new loft. I made sure to leave room for your stuff. I really just got worried when you wouldn't return my calls. I miss you being close by." I said sadly.

"I do too. I can't believe I haven't seen you in a month and a half but we'll be together soon. Anyway, Adri, I have to go but I was calling because I ordered something for you but I need to know what time you get off work." He said quickly.

"Around four. I get home at around four thirty usually. What is it?" I was curious as to what he could have ordered me that I would have needed.

"It's a surprise. Okay, I love you but I have to go. Talk to you soon." He hurried me along. I sighed.

"I love you too. Bye, Yuki." He hung up and I shook my head at the phone. A week and a half of not calling me back, and all I get when he does call is a quick phone call. Yuki is really making me regret coming here first.

I considered crawling back into bed to sleep some more but figured that since I was already awake from Yuki's phone call that I would get a jump start on getting ready. So I headed off to take a long shower. I took extra care with my hair and makeup today since I wasn't in a rush. Then I had some breakfast and headed off to work.

I work as a waitress at a fairly large, privately owned diner. It was kind of slow most of the day but I had made friends with the other waiters and it was never boring as long as they were around. I laughed a lot as we secretly made jokes about the customers that came in. Even the manager, a happy woman in her late 30's, joined in. I never left work in a bad mood.

I left work at my usual time, waving goodbye to the rest as I walked out the door to my car, my cheeks rosy from laughing. Although work was fun, it didn't change the fact that I wanted to go home and curl into a ball in front of my television.

I got home, changed straight into a pair of shorts and a tank top, and then went into the kitchen to make me some mac and cheese. It wasn't the best meal but it was quick and painless. I was almost finished with it when the doorbell rang.

I raced over to the door and opened it slowly. I was met with a beautiful bouquet of a dozen orange roses, blocking the man who was holding them. I grinned and moved to take the flowers from him.

"Hi. I'm Adrianna." I said, still looking at the flowers. "Do I have to sign anything?"

"No. I think I've got it covered." A familiar voice said teasingly. I snapped my gaze away from the flowers to look at him. There was Yuki, standing in my doorway, grinning at me.

"Yuki!" I screamed, setting my flowers down so I could throw my arms around him. "What are you doing here?"

"I finished everything back home so I thought I'd come early and surprise you." He chuckled as he returned my hug. I stopped attacking him with kisses after a while to let him into the house.

"I'm glad you're here but I wish I could have done something more special for you." I said, as he pulled a suitcase inside, I went and grabbed the last two and brought them in. Then as he put his stuff down I took a good look at him.

He had filled out a bit since I had last seen him. He was more muscular, his biceps bulging slightly as he lifted his suitcases. His hair had been cut a bit too and he still moved his left shoulder a bit awkwardly. As I noticed all the slight changes, I also noticed just how much he had stayed the same. He noticed me studying him and grinned slightly.

"What is it?" He asked me. I shook my head, grinning as well.

"Nothing. I just missed looking at you, that's all." I teased. He walked over and put his arms around me.

"I missed you too." I rested my head on his chest, wrapping my arms around him. We stayed like that for a bit before I pulled away.

"Come on, I'll give you a tour of our little place." I said, taking his hand. I led him through the living room, the bedroom where we dropped off his stuff, the bathroom, and the kitchen, where I finished making dinner for us to eat.

We grabbed some bowls and plopped onto the couch to eat. I snuggled up to him, which made it kind of hard for him to eat but once we were done, he threw his arm around me and pulled me in closer. We ended up lying on the couch, me on top of him with my head resting on his chest, his arms wrapped fully around me, locking me in place. A blanket covered us, keeping us warm.

His eyes were half closed, so I reached up and cupped his face in my hands. I gently placed my lips onto his, sliding my tongue against his bottom lip. I felt his lips stretch into a smile as he responded, repositioning himself to kiss me better. One hand moved to the back of my neck, making my lips press harder against his.

"You're being very bad right now." He said as he took a breath.

"Me? Look at yourself, mister." I said silkily, running a finger over his cheek. He grinned and kissed me again, then pulled away to yawn.

"Sorry. Long day." He murmured. I laughed and wrapped my arms around him again.

"It's fine. You're right, you should go to bed. You are still recovering from the flu." I replied as I rolled off of him, feet landing softly on the floor. I winked at him. "Plus we have a lot of time to do this now."

Grinning, he followed me into the bedroom. We fell into bed and cuddled into each other's arms. His head rested on top of mine and I could feel his breaths evening. I trailed my fingers down his chest and sighed.

"I'm really glad you came early, Yuki. I missed you so much." I closed my eyes and started to drift off.

"Me too." He whispered in my ear before I was completely asleep. "Me too."
