"You shouldn't have come here." My voice was soft, as i spoke to the darkness. A body climbed onto my bed, using his shoulders to push me back down against my pillow. It was Adam. "We will wake up my grandma." I said closing my eyes as Adam placed a line of kisses down the side of my face.
"I can be very quiet." He whispered into my ear. But it was no longer Adam's voice but Jakes. I pulled his head in front of me so that i could look at him, but it was Adam again. "What's wrong?" He asked giving me one of his concerned looks, that pierced my soul with happiness.
"Nothing...i just" I was confused. Adams lips turned into a smile as he bent his head down to capture my lips in his. Wrapping my arms around his neck, i needed to feel him closer to me. As i pulled my lips away to catch my breath Jake was staring down at him, not Adam.
"What's wrong?" He asked pulling back slightly.
"I'm dreaming aren't I." i said with realization as i spread my arms out across my bed.
I awoke to an empty bed. No Adam, and no Jake. I ran a hand through my blonde hair, cursing myself for dreaming about two boys that i really shouldn't. But the dream, it..It felt so real. I ran a finger across my lips remembering. When i realized i was smiling, i tried to shake it off. A small knock came at the door.
"Come in." I shouted, as i climbed out of bed.
"I didn't realize that it was pajama day at school?" Adam stepped into my room, wearing jeans and t-shirt underneath a blue collared shirt. "I feel incredibly over dressed."
"What is the time?" I asked looking at my clock. 8:00am. "I over slept."
"You must have been having a really good dream?" Adam said moving towards me, to wrap his arms around my waist. A shiver ran up my spine as he pulled me closer, the good kind of shiver.
"You have got to stop doing that." I said trying to push him away, but he wouldn't budge.
"Doing what?" He pretended to be confused, but his smile gave him away.
"You know what. I can't think when you touch me."
"And why do you think that is Cassie Blake?" I didn't want to answer him, because we both knew the answer. I liked him. Adam sighed. "I'll let you get dressed."
...
"So you and Adam hey?" Fay was leaning against the locker next to mine, a wicked grin spread across her face.
"No." I began drawing the word out slowly. "Adam and I are just friends."
"Mhmm" Fay said, letting out a soft chuckle. "Well the way he stares at you, i would suggest he thinks of you a little differently. Like late a night, under the cloak of darkness where there is nothing but him and his.."
"Fay!" I interjected, not wanting her to finishing the sentence. Her smile grew wider. She was satisfied. She had riled me up for the day. The bell rang, to finally release me from her presence. I closed my locker, slamming it really, before securing it shut.
"Bad morning?" Jakes voice rang from behind me. I turned to face him letting out a large sigh.
"You have no idea." I said with a shrug. "What are you doing here?"
"I said that i would see you tomorrow, its tomorrow." he said lowering his voice and placing his hands into his front pockets, moving back and forth on his heels. I couldn't help but smile.
"I'm going to be late to class." I pointed behind me, indicating that i needed to get moving. There was no one else in the hallway. Jake's furrowed his brow as his voice turned serious.
"Cassie.." He was trying to bring up yesterday again.
"Look Jake. We need to forget about yesterday. I'm safe, you are safe that is all that matters. I need to focus on finding my father. I know that once i find him, he can answer all of the questions we have." i placed a hand on his chest. Jake placed his hand over mine.
"You should go." He said looking behind me. I nodded, and left him there in the hallway staring after me.
...
The day passed by uneventful. I tried to keep my distance from Adam, his presence was clouding my judgement. But every time i caught his eye, my heart would skip a beat. I was going to give myself a heart-attack.
"I was thinking that we should go out on saturday. Barney made us some fake ID's and there is a club downtown that doesn't ever check. Fay and Melissa said that they were into it? Did you want to come?" Diana was smiling, as she turned to face me.
"I can't" I said trying not to look at her.
"Oh, are you busy?" She was sitting next to me in biology, half taking down notes from the board half not really paying attention. I didn't know how to tell her, or even if i should. But i knew that she would find out eventually, and i wanted it to come from me. Her friendship means to much for me to just throw it away on some boy. Even if it was Adam.
"Adam's taking me out." I stopped writing notes to look at her. If she was upset her face didn't show it, but a twitch in her eye gave her away.
"Oh. Well that should be fun." She didn't speak or look at me for a few seconds. "I think its nice that you two are getting to know each other. Do you think you'll be together all day, or can you join me later outside the club?" She was being so sweet, and i was a horrible friend.
"I don't have to go. In fact ill tell Adam that i cancel. Hanging out with the girls sounds like a lot more fun." I grabbed my phone from my pocket and started to write a message to Adam, but Diana's hand covered the screen.
"Cassie." She said slowly "I'm ok with you and Adam seeing each other."
"Where not seeing.." She cut me off.
"Regardless. I consider you to be one of my good friends Cassie, that's not going to change. Just..Just don't hurt him."
"We aren't together Diana" I whispered to her, as i noticed that Mr Bricks scowling at us from the front of the classroom.
"Not yet. But he's destined to be with you, and i can't fight destiny."
