Come Back To Me 3
At dinner
Kris sat down beside Allison, as Adam and Drake sat together. There was an awkward silence from their table, just when a waiter came up to them.
"May I take your orders?" the waiter asked politely(he's name is Jack).
"Oh yeah, sure." Kris said looking at the three.
"What would you have Allie?" Kris asked her.
"Umm.. just pasta."
"Just pasta, sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. How 'bout you and Drake Adam?" Kris asked the couple.
"I think I'll have steak." Drake said.
"Same goes for me." Adam replied as he looked at the girl in-front of him.
"Mine would be barbecue salad, that would be all." Kris told the waiter.
"Okay, it would take about thirty minutes for your orders to finish."
"Alright then." Kris said.
"So?" Adam began.
Kris' P.O.V.
Okay so the orders were taken and nobody's speaking, thank god Adam did.
"So how are you guys?" I asked the two.
"Great!" Drake gave me a killer smile.
"Oh, well than that's good to hear." I placed an arm around Allison's shoulder.
"So Alli, is there something you want to tell me?" Adam asked her and she looked at me.
"A little help Kris," she whispered.
"I don't think she needs to tell you anything Adam." I shrugged.
"Kris, I was asking her." Adam told me.
"Oh yeah, well let her answer then." I looked over the girl beside me.
"Your right Kris, there's nothing to talk about." she smiled at me and I smiled back.
"If you say so." Adam uncomfortably sat at the edge of his chair, and I eyed his every move.
"So Kris, how did you find this amazing restaurant?" Allison asked me, leaning in a little closer, wow she's good.
I was about to speak when Drake interrupted me with his question.
"Allison are you sure there's nothing you want to say?" Drake looked at her and she looked at me.
"Drake if she says there's nothing than cant we leave it like that?" I asked him, trying to defend the younger girl.
"We can, but what about the thing Matt said?" he asked once more.
"What thing?" Allison acted up.
"Do you mean the one he said while we three were in the kitchen?" Adam asked his boyfriend.
"Yeah that," Drake nodded.
"What thing? Alli, what are they talking about?" I asked her with a wink.
"Oh you know Matt," she giggled, "crazy as ever, I don't like Adam like that Drake. People just get so high sometimes they don't know what they're saying."
"I'm sure Matt was playing around." I added.
"Okay, if you say so." Drake nodded and I saw Adam's reaction.
He looked at Allison but she avoided his gaze, he tried to talk to her but she kept on talking to me.
"The ambiance is amazing, ain't that right Krissy?" she smiled at me.
"Ofcourse Alli – baby, I chose it for you." I smiled at her.
Adam's P.O.V.
'Alli – baby?'
Okay, Kris is going to far, I have to talk to him later. I mean, I thought he was my best friend, then why is he acting different lately, all so huggy and kissy when he's with Allison.
The waiter arrived with our orders, "here you go sir."
"Thank you," I told the guy who served our dinner.
"Shall we eat?" Kris smiled at all of us.
"Ofcourse," Drake answered him.
"Kris, can you blow my food please, it's too hot for me." Allison whined, which made me feel awkward.
"Sure baby girl," he got a fork and put some pasta on it, blew it a little, and fed her, "how is it?"
"Yum, you have to taste yours." she said as she got Kris' fork and fed him.
"Thank you Alli, but I think you have something on your face." he said as he got a napkin and wiped the spot away.
"You're so sweet," she kissed his cheek.
I guess I moved the table a bit, which made Drake look at me.
Drake's P.O.V.
I was trying to enjoy a perfectly good old well done steak, then I felt the table move, and as I turned my head, I saw Adam turning red.
"You okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah sure." he smiled at me.
"Tell me when you're feeling kinda uneasy." I shrugged with a smile.
"Thanks babe, I guess I just over reacted about nothing." he smiled.
I nodded then thought, why would he react? What would he react about? Minutes of thinking, my eyes going to Kris, Allison, Adam then back to Kris.
Wait a second, I think I know. By the looks of Kris and Allison plus Adam's, it's all starting to make sense.
First was Matt's sudden confession, than Allison got mad at him. Second, the weird acting Kris has when he's with Allison, when we know this guy's married.
And lastly, Adam's reaction every time Kris gets flirty with Allison. Why is it that every time Kris and Allison would, I don't know, maybe act up, they make sure Adam sees it?
Is this a set up, all planned? Does Adam actually like her back? Cos if he does, then I will volunteer to stop this nonsense that's happening between him and me.
But before all that, I need more steak.
Kris P.O.V.
Strange, Drake looked likes he was spaced out a minute ago. Why was he looking at the three of us strangely, then he looked like he was thinking things through.
What has gotten into him? I cant just sit here and do nothing, why don't I ask for myself?
"Hey Drake, you okay?" I gently slapped his hand.
"Uh yeah, I'm great." he faked a smile.
I nodded and thought, now what's with him?
Allison's P.O.V.
Dinner finished early, all of us were done eating our meals. For the first time, dinner with Kris and Adam was… silent.
Flirting with Kris kinda looked easy but it was hard to do. Feeling Adam's dagger glares every time Kris is with me kinda felt… uneasy.
Was I actually making him believe all this? Am I actually hurting him? This is all crazy, I just hope Kris' plan goes somewhere.
"Let's go." Kris stood up from the table and the three of us followed him.
Kris went to the counter and paid for the food, but Adam stopped him.
"Hey man, let me do it." Adam handed the cashier the money.
"Dude, why did you do that?" Kris asked him.
"You've done so much already, I guess I needed to show my appreciation." he smiled at the smaller guy.
"Alright," Kris said and took my hand.
The four of us arrived at the parking lot, Kris was giving me a ride back to the Idol Mansion.
"So see you guys," Kris smiled at the two.
"Adam, do you have to go to the mansion like now?" Drake asked him.
"Not really, you wanna hang out a little longer?" Adam asked.
"I actually want to talk." Drake said.
"Talk? Okay sure, see you two later." Adam waved as he and Drake got in his car.
Kris and I waved back as we got in his mustang.
"You were shaking Alli." Kris began to talk.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"From the moment I was acting with you, and from the way Adam's eyes glared at the two of us, you were shaking, somewhat nervous." he shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know Kris, I mean, are we even doing the right thing?" I asked and looked at him.
"Don't you trust me Alli, I actually am beginning to think that my plan is working. Drake asked Adam to talk because he noticed how affected lover boy was with the fact that I was with you." he looked at me.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Positive." he smiled and parked beside Danny's car as we got down.
**
Adam's P.O.V.
When Drake and I got in my car, nobody was talking. Only the radio broke the silence between us two. I was driving us to his apartment, and I don't know why my hands were sweating.
I'm just so nervous about this 'talk' Drake wants. What's there to talk about anyway?
I pushed the thoughts away and continued driving.
**
We arrived at his apartment and we both got down. We took the elevator on our way to his room. As we arrived at his apartment room, I took a seat and waited for him.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked as he took a seat in front of me.
"Adam, I want to ask you something." he started.
"Anything," I answered.
"I want the truth." he said in his serious tone.
"Okay." I looked at him and returned the look.
"Do you find Allison likeable in a more brotherly or sisterly way?" he asked.
For a minute I was shocked with his sudden question, I didn't know what to say.
"What?" I asked.
"I'm asking if you like her Adam." he crossed his arms across his chest.
"No, Ofcourse not. I don't love her Drake." I told him.
"Why are you denying it?" he stood up in front of me.
"Denying what?" I followed his motion.
"That you like her and you cant admit it when the whole world can see it!" he yelled at me.
"If you're forgetting, I'm gay for one and I'm older than her, for like a ten year gap." I yelled back.
"Well it doesn't seem to matter Adam, because every time your with her, you cant hide the fact that your in love with this girl." he explained to me and I looked down.
"What made you think that?" I asked as if in a whisper.
"Think? Oh I don't have to think it Adam, I can see it. Can you even explain your sudden reaction when Allison was with Kris, it's like your whole body wanted to burn. And it's not only with Kris you get jealous with, even with her other guy friends." he raised his hands up in the air.
"Do you have to put meaning in that?" I tried to defend myself.
"I don't Adam, no one does. It's only you two, and I cant take it anymore. How can I love you when your in love with someone else I know." he looked at me.
"Drake…." I tried to say my apology.
"Forget it Adam, we're over." he looked back.
"Over? How can we be over? Drake, do you even know what you're saying?" I asked him.
"I do Adam, I'm not sure you do." he gaze returned to mine.
"What about us, our happiness, our life?" I asked.
"We both know this wouldn't last forever, it's better if I'll end it now. I care about our happiness and our lives, I don't want you to suffer every minute of your life thinking about her. Your better off with her, and trust me, I personally would urge you to go after her now that there's time." he looked at me.
"Thank you, and I'm so sorry you have to deal with is." I hugged him in a friendly way.
"No problem Adam, it was nice meeting you." he patted my shoulder and opened his front door.
"See you somewhere." I waved before entering the elevator.
"Tell me when you get her." I heard him yell back.

Kris P.O.V.
So tonight went kinda weird, the three acted strange around one another. But I do know I'm doing the right thing, right? Well, let's not worry about that too much.
But what does worry me is Adam, what's taking him so long to get back here? What kinda talk are they having, this is kinda scaring me, I guess I better call him.
I stood up from my bed and went to my drawer; I got my phone and unlocked it. I was about to call his number when I heard the door open, and in stepped a teary eyed Adam.
"Adam, I'm glad you're back. I was about to call you, what happened?" I asked.
"Drake and I broke up." he said to me simply.
"You and Drake what?" I asked.
"He said that it's just not working out, and he did advice me in what I should do." he looked at me strangely.
"Is that okay with you?" I sat beside me.
"One thing is holding me back from doing what's suppose to be done." he looked at me straight in the eye.
"What's that man?" I asked him.
"Kris I need you to tell me something." he told me, oh no, here it comes.
"Okay shoot." I shrugged.
"Is there anything going on between you and Allison?" he asked.
I knew it, that question I've been waiting for since my plan started. I didn't want to go straight to the point, so I smiled at him and said:
"Adam, why would you think that when you know I'm married and she's just a little sister to me?" I asked him.
"Don't lie to me Kris, I can see the way you flirt when you're with her." he told me.
"Adam, you're not the only one who can act here." I smiled at him.
"What do you mean?" he asked in confusion.
"Don't you ask me if there's anything going on with me and her, let me ask you if you're recent brake – up have anything to do with the way you feel about her?" I smirked at him and he wasn't able to answer.
"Kris you know me better than that." he told me.
"I do Adam, that's why I can tell that you like her. And guess what, she likes you back." I patted his shoulder.
"No she doesn't." he looked down.
"She does, she told me." I smiled at him.
"Then what's with you two earlier." he sounded as confused as ever.
"It was my little plan o makin' ya jealous, and taddaa… I'm a mad genius." I let out a little laugh.
"Your crazy as ever." he shook his head.
"So are we okay?" I put my hand in front of him.
"Yeah, we are." he shook it and gave me a brotherly hug.
"First thing in the morning, you have to win her." I told him.
"How?" he raised his brow.
"Tell her how you feel, get her alone, must I do everything?" I asked.
"Nah, you need to rest. Thanks again man." he said before going inside the bathroom.
"Night," I said.
