The show was just closing up, Edge and John Cena had a hell of a match, did he notice that I was there? I didn't get a front row seat for nothing. I wondered if his number was the same. Should I call him... would he think I was stalking him... I mean it's been about seven years since I've even spoken to him, our relationship ended on a sour note. I mean he was just getting real big in the company and he let it go to his head, but seeing him tonight changed everything, he was bound to be back at his hotel right now, I pulled my phone out and dialed the number that I had.
Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring
On about the sixth ring he picked up... I was shocked, not knowing what to say, or even how to start the conversation
"Hello?"
"Adam... it's Michelle, remember me?" I said kind of quietly
"Michelle... oh hey... it's been awhile." he told me, I could tell he was walking or sitting or something of that manner.
"Try seven years... how have you been?" I said wanting to break down at the sound of his voice
" to be honest... I've been better... hey where you stayin now?" he asked me, taking a deep breath, I heard him let it out over the receiver
"I'm staying everywhere, but I got an apartment close to my hometown."
We talked for over an hour and I felt my feelings for him began coming back, I didn't want them to.
"Hey... Can you do me a favor?"
"What's that?"
"I want to see you... soon, how fast can you make it to Atlanta?"
"Georgia?"
"Yes..."
"I can be there in a couple hours."
"Seriously?"
"Yes, you shocked."
"Well call me when you land." he told me I hung up.
I packed my bags and loaded my car down, I called and reserved me a room at the Hilton, big city traffic was terrible at night, nearly as bad as it was during the daytime. I felt like I was at that red light for ages, but I saw the big "Welcome to Atlanta" sign and called him back to tell him where I was, and where I was staying.
I unlocked my door and threw my bags down on the white carpet, I changed into some pajamas, and heard a knock on the door, through the peep hole I saw his long blond hair, he'd barley changed at all since I've saw him last, I unlocked the door for him,
"Good show tonight." I told him as he came in
"You saw it?" he asked, taking his jacket off and sitting it on the chair
"Yea I was front row, trying to relive old times." I said going to sit down
"And how did that work out for ya?" he asked laughing
"It was pretty great." I said, "You want something to drink or something?" I asked
"Yeah, a water is fine." he said
A couple hours later...
"Adam..."
"What, Chelle, I'm right here." he told me
"Did I ever apologize for what I did?" I asked him shyly
"I think you did, but I was so mad, I just didn't hear it." he said placing my hand in his.
"Well where does that put us?" I asked shying away from him
"I want to start over, and from what you've been telling me it sounds like you too." He said
"But... you think we could make it work this time?" I asked him
"If we try and both put forth an effort, I think we can make it, now come here, you don't know how long I've wanted to hold you in my arms." He said, wrapping me in his arms, I caught myself tracing the contours of the muscles on his arms, he laughed quietly, I used to do that when we were together before, I fell asleep in his arms like I've done many times before.
The Next Morning.
I woke up and Adam still had his arms around me, he was awake waiting for me to awaken.
"Mornin' Gorgeous." he smiled down at me
"Hey." I said sheepishly, trying to hold back a yawn, I turned over on my other side "What time is it?" I asked him
"It's still morning time, maybe nine o'clock at the latest."
"I'm going back to bed." I yawned leaning back on him
"Babe, wake up." he whispered in my ear "Your going to sleep the day away." he said
"If I get up will you shut up?" I asked him
"Yes I will." he laughed, I felt him kiss my hair
"Well then I'm going to shower." I said rolling out of his arms
I got in the shower, and started to think back on what actually happened last night, I wanted to say that it didn't happen, but it did, I called Adam and worked things out after about?" seven years of not even talking to him, I'm surprised he even answered my call. I don't regret it. I loved Adam, but I treated him wrongly, by sleeping with one of his friends when I was mad at him, I was just happy he forgave me for all of that, I finished up and started putting my clothes on, I dried my hair and decided to put a little make up on. My outfit of choice was just a lose fitting t-shirt and some booty shorts, I wasn't going all out with my appearance with Adam, he's known me for most of my life, why should I try to impress him, ha I laughed to myself, I tied my hair back, and decided to see what Adam was up to, it sounded like he had the television on.
"Hey... What are you doin?" I asked going to sit by him on the bed
"Watching the Jersey Shore. I needed a good laugh to start my day." I smiled
"I'm hungry, wanna go get something to eat?" I asked
"Sure, what do you want? It'll be my treat?"
"At this point, I don't care." I laughed
" Do you still love pancakes like you used to?"
I was surprised that he remembered that I was very fond of pancakes.
"Yeah..." I smiled
"They're is an Ihop just about a block over."
"Lets roll." I laughed heading for the door
We arrived at the Ihop and they looked pretty slow, perfect. Adam opened my door for me, and as we made our way to the entrance he managed to slip his arm around me, the hostess showed us to our table, and I began to look at the menu. I was kind of starved, I hadn't ate since the morning before. She brought us our drinks, and placed our order.
"You planning on eating all of that?" he laughed
"You wanna watch me?" I asked him raising an eyebrow
"I'm gonna take your word for it, Did you sleep good?"
"Yeah, I didn't even realize I'd fallen asleep, you could have been talking to me, and I never would have known. You were probably pretty exhausted after your match, I'm just surprised you came to see me." I smiled pushing my hair out of my face
Our food finally came and it was amazing, I felt like I was eating like a pig but Adam didn't care, I finished up and waited for him to pay the check, he was so sweet, I went out to the car and light a cigarette, I saw him come out he was shaking his head, I forgot he didn't like smoking so I put it out, he grabbed my wrist and gently pulled me closer to him, I put my head down on his shoulder, he rubbed my back I wondered what he had planned for the rest of the day
"What are we doing today?" I asked looking up at him
"Just going to hang out with some of the guys, you up for it?" he smiled that smug smile of his
"Hell yeah." I told him
