Another 3am update. :)
It had been a few weeks since the whole "Is there something on my face?" Incident. Both she and Adam laughed it off, and Amelia was fitting in quite nicely with Adam, Clare and Eli. The more Adam got to know Amelia, the more he liked her. He was trying so hard not to, but it was not working.
Adam POV
I could never tell her . Once Amelia finds out about my...secret, I would lose all chances with her...not that I think I even have a chance now. Amelia is religious. She loves her faith. But she's also outgoing, down to earth, and seemingly open minded. She might not hate me upon finding out, but she sure as hell wouldn't date me. She's gorgeous, and could easily have any guy she wanted. What would she want with a freak like me?
It was a Friday afternoon, Adam, Eli, Amelia and Clare were at Clare's place hanging out. They were watching some stupid documentary about gorillas, and Eli and Clare were mostly making out.
"You wanna get outta here?" Amelia asked.
At first, Adam was a bit taken aback by this offer. Amelia wanted to be alone with him?
"YES." Said Adam sounding a bit too excited.
Amelia let out a little chuckle and smiled.
"We're gonna go um, do something that isn't this." Amelia announced.
"K see ya" Clare said barely taking her eyes off of Eli.
"Whatever" Eli grumbled.
"C'mon" Amelia said as she got up and grabbed her keys.
Moments later they were in Amelia's little blue car, pulling out of Clare's driveway.
"Soooo where we goin'?" Adam questioned.
"The lake. I think we need to get to know each other a little better Adam."
His heart skipped a beat, or six.
"O-oh. Okay."
Amelia POV
I wonder if im sounding too forward...too..desperate? I honestly did want to know Adam better. Wed been hanging out for weeks and i still hardly knew him. He was so quiet. I did know one thing for sure though. Adam was definitely lacking in the self confidence area. The way he walked with his head down, and how soft spoken he was. Sometimes it seemed like he even had trouble looking at me when we talked. Ive never had confidence issues myself, so it was hard for me to understand, and i really wanted to.
They pulled up to the lake parking lot and got out of the car. Amelia opened her trunk and pulled out a big blanket. It didn't take long for Adam to notice that the blanket was covered in Disney princesses. Adam chuckled. Loudly.
"What!"
"Nice blanket" he said, still laughing a little.
"You know what Adam? If you don't like it you can sit in the nasty sand. Then your butt is going to get gross, and I wont drive you home so you'll have to walk. Then on the way it will start raining and your life will suck. Your choice." She said with an evil grin.
"You know, you sure can be a monster sometimes." He said playfully to Amelia. Amelia smiled, closed her trunk, and started walking towards the sand. Adam followed close behind.
