Fiona pays close attention to Tim while he carefully explains the safety features of the new 2011 Bentley.
"Dude you're not going to sell her a car so you might as well give up right now" says a familiar voice. She tears her eyes away from the car and turns her head to the left.
"Come on Adam, I'm just trying to make a sale. Stop stepping on my toes" Tim pleads
"Ok man, but she doesn't even drive so this is a lost cause" Adam responds
"Hi" Fiona says as she looks right at Adam Without giving Tim a chance to speak Adam quickly looks at Tim and says
"Tim meet the lovely Fiona Coyne..." Tim glares at Adam and before he can respond Adam cuts him off "my ex-girlfriend"
"Oh..." Tim responds. After a long pause he says "You know I think I hear the boss calling me. I should go. It was very nice to meet you Ms. Coyne"
"Likewise" Fiona says with a smile.
She looks at Adam taking in all the differences. She wasn't sure if it was possible but it seemed like he was sexier than ever. His left arm was tattooed from the shoulder to the elbow. He was taller, his hair was shorter, his voice was deeper and he had some stubble on his chin. Despite all of his changes there was no mistaking those big baby blue eyes of his. Which still gave her that same puppy dog look. She loved the feeling of his glare. It was like there was noone else on this earth but her. Needless to say Adam could look at her all day. He flirted with his eyes for a moment.
After a long silence Adam let's out a "Hi"
"You look... different" Fiona mumbles "Is that a good thing?" Adam questioned
"You definitely look good" she responds with a chuckle
"Thanx" he says with a shy smile "You know, I think your dad set me up. He said I should take you to lunch... unless you planned this" he says questionably
"I didn't plan it, but I won't say no if you're inviting me to lunch" she says with a huge grin.
"Let me go grab my keys" Adam takes two steps and turns back around "and don't talk to Tim" he jokes. They both laugh as Adam casually walks off.
Adam grabs his keys and walks back to Fiona smiling the entire time. 'I can't believe her dad set me up. Well I owe him one that's for sure. Damn she looks beautiful. Ok Adam calm down, don't stare' he thought to himself. He did his best to not show how excited he was to see her. All he wanted to do was pull her in to his arms and hold her close but he knew this wasn't the time nor place. He also didn't want to overstep or jump to conclusions on why she was here.
When he reaches Fiona he escorts her to his car and opens the door for her. She settles in. Adam gets into the car and starts it. "So how long are you here for?" Adam questions
"The summer. I just finished up school and wanted to take some time for me before starting my clothing line" she answers
"I'm glad to hear your plans worked out for you" Adam says sincerely.
"What about you Adam? What are your plans? Did you continue your schooling?" She questions already knowing the answer. Clare had clued her in on Adam not going to university.
"I never really had a plan. I just kind of go with the flow. I like my job, why change?"
"So this is it for you? You're going to work for the dealership for the rest of your life?" Fiona asks immediately regretting her tone
"Why not?" He responds without any difference in his voice.
"I was just curious... so, you're ... bigger" she says nervously while looking at his arm from the passenger seat.
"Yeah I work out a lot"
"Seems to be a whole lot" she giggles
"Fiona Coyne, are you flirting with me?" He asks flashing her those eyes
"And what if I am?" She answers Adam doesn't respond but just smiles wide
"We're here" he says.
-mmmmm-
Sitting at the table across from Adam has Fiona a bit nervous. 'When did the tables turn?' She thought. She had always found it to be so cute that Adam had this shyness about him but never would've believed one day he'd have the same affect on her.
Adam breaks the silence
"You remember this place?"
"Our first anniversarry. I wouldn't forget it." She quickly responds.
"I come here for lunch all the time" he tells her She quickly changes the subject after recognizing the hurt look on his face as he looks down towards the menu
"So... Clare tells me you've done well for yourself"
"What exactly has Clare told you?" Adam questions fearing the worst
"Well, she said you moved out of your parent's house. She said that you're working... and that you finished your... transition"
"Yup, I'm all man now" he says in a joking tone with that signature Adam smile.
"How does it feel Adam?" She asked looking down at the table
"Freeing. I mean, I finally feel... right" She can't help but smile when he speaks, he looks so content and happy.
"Can I ask you something?"
"You just did" she jokes
"No, come on, I'm curious. Are you seeing anyone? I mean... I'm sure Tim would like to know" he says jokingly
"Then tell Tim it's none of his business"
"What if I'm asking?" He pressed giving her that look that she can't resist
"I'm single, what about you Mr. Torres?"
"I haven't had a serious girlfriend in years Fi" he responds
