Merry Christmas everyone! It's Christmas Eve and this is my present to you. I hope you like it! Remember I publish every Tuesday so see you next week hopefully.

Disclaimer: The motel I mention is real but I have never been there. Do not think it is a dump on my account. I just used a random LA motel name.

Also there is a swear word or two in this chapter.

I couldn't stop smiling as I walked off stage. Everyone clapped and cheered afterwards and it gave me such a high. Haha gave me a high, just like the song! Haha that's funny. I felt so warm and happy. I touched my cheek and man was it burning. The guy who signed me up to do the karaoke handed me a drink to soothe my throat after that hard work. It was just a lemon lime bitters but it was so good. It just made me thirstier. I walked up the stairs to the VIP room. What does VIP stand for again? Oh I can't remember. No wait, very important person. I am a very important person. I giggled a little at that. I grabbed another shot off a tray and sculled it. A hand reached out to grab the empty glass from me.

"ADAM!" I shouted when I looked up to see it was him. I threw my arms around his neck and pulled him into me. "Did you see me? That was so much fun! Mmm did you know you smell very, very nice."

Adam laughed and unhooked my hands from around his neck. "I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. You were great out there."

"I think so too. Did you hear them all clap? That was soooo much fun. Oh hey your eyes are blue again." I reached out to touch his face but sort of stumbled into him. "Hehe oops sorry"

"I think someone has had a bit too much to drink. Come on let's get you some water."

"Okay that sounds good."

Adam walked me over to a couch and helped me down onto it. I was so hot and tired, I just wanted to lie down so the moment Adam walked away that is what I did. The couch was so soft, like a little cloud rocking me to sleep.

"Whoa don't go to sleep on me just yet Castea." I looked up to see Tommy sit down the end of the couch by my feet. I smiled and pulled myself into a sitting position.

"Oh hey Tommy." I yawned and covered my mouth with my hand then leaned my head on Tommy's shoulder. "I am so sleepy."

"Don't go to sleep here, wait till you get home."

"Can't, home is thousands of kilometres that way." I pointed in a random direction to prove my point.

"Kilometres? Where are you from?"

"Australia." I shifted my head against his shoulder, almost nuzzling it.

"Then where are you staying?"

"Kajun Inn motel. It's not nice. Smells like a dirty diaper." Tommy laughed at that. My eyes began to droop. I could not keep them open much longer. I forgot how tired alcohol makes me feel.

"Hey Adam, we should probably take her home and make sure she is all right." I looked up to see Adam with a glass of water.

"Yeah I think we should. I am done for the night anyway, I have an interview tomorrow. Come on Cas, drink this." The water was cool and fresh and woke me up but only for a moment.

"Tommy, go ask someone who works here if there is a back door we could use. Maybe we can bring the car around and sneak her out. I don't want anyone taking photos of her just because she is with me."

This confused me. Why would people be taking pictures of Adam? Is it because he is handsome? I had no idea what was happening. Was I being carried now? No Adam is just helping me walk. Where was I going?

Adam opened the door of a car and helped me into the back seat. Tommy was already inside so he helped pull me in and do my seat belt up. I was so tired I instantly lay down with my head resting on Tommy's leg. It was so comfy and I felt so safe like this, curled up on the back seat with Tommy next to me and Adam driving. I don't know how they made me feel this way after not even knowing them for a day but I do. I was half asleep at this point, not sure if what I heard at the time was real or a dream.

"Can you drop me home first Adam, since I am closest?"

"Sure I guess," Adam said sounded a little confused. "Cas is light enough for me to support her by myself but don't you want to come make sure she is ok?"

"Nah she will be fine with you. Besides you two should spend some time together?"

"Tommy." Adam's voice took on a warning tone. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing Adam, what do you mean?"

"You know that she isn't my type. I am gay."

"So? Being gay doesn't limit you to guys, it just means you are mostly attracted to men."

"I thought you were into Cas."

"No I am not. Don't get me wrong she is very beautiful, very different, funny and interesting but there is no spark. You know what I mean. I would go for her even if there was no spark and give us a try but I thought I saw something earlier."

Adam sighed in exasperation, probably at Tommy's meddling. "What did you think you saw?"

"A spark between you two which is why I didn't try anything tonight. I saw you two making eyes at each other on the couch"

"No Tommy, there was no spark."

"None?"

"None"

"So you don't mind if I go for Castea?" Tommy's voice sounded cheeky as if he was plotting something.

"Go for it, now get out of the car now, we're here."

"Thanks Adam. I will see you tomorrow for the interview. Oh and you better make Castea a good breakfast."

"What? What are you- What on Earth are you talking about?"

"She's asleep and neither of us knows where she is staying. Looks like she is going back to your place. Night Adam." I heard footsteps moving away from the car very fast.

"Bastard was planning that the whole time." There was a slight pause then I heard Adam turn around in his seat. To look at me maybe? "Looks like it's just you and me Cas. Let's go home."

"Ok come on Cas. We are here. Just put your arm around me, ok?" Adam pulled on my hand so I would sit up then he helped me out of the car. He put my arm around his shoulder and he supported my weight while carrying me. My head kept lulling and I was stumbling over my own feet trying to walk to where Adam was leading me.

"Ok this will be easier. Just hold on to my neck, yep that is it." Next thing I knew there was no ground beneath my feet and I was being carried. Adam put me in a chair while he unlocked a door and picked me up again.

Adam was so strong and his chest was so warm beneath my cheek. I could feel his heartbeat, not hear it but feel it. It was steady, constant and comforting. I didn't want that feeling to ever fade. The next thing I knew was exactly that was happening. I felt a pillow beneath my head instead of a broad chest, cold instead of warm and instead of a reassuring heartbeat there was nothing but silence. Adam's hands were still on me from resting me down on the bed, when they started to pull away I grabbed his hand.

"Please stay. I don't want to be alone."

"Castea I-"

"Please." I forced my eyes open despite how heavy they were. I could barely see Adam except for a small part of his face which was illuminated by a small ray of moonlight which was shining through the blinds. His eyes were a silvery grey again. "Please Adam. You make me feel safe and… not… alone."

We stared at each other for a few moments more before he said "…all right. Just give me a moment."

Adam's footsteps faded away and I heard a door close and shut. My eyes could no longer stay open. They were done for the night and so was I but I refused to sleep till Adam was asleep with me. I hoped he would come back. Please come back.

The door creaked open again and I felt the bed sink a little. Adam was lying next to me but I could not see him because I was lying on my side, facing away from him. It was such a comfort to have him beside me but it didn't feel like it was enough.

"Good night Cas."

"Sweet dreams Adam."

The looming feeling of not enough refused to fade away. It felt like there were oceans between us rather than a foot. Should I just lay here in silence or say something. I felt him shift a little and the need for me just to be held grew stronger. Would it be weird for me to ask? Screw it.

"Adam?" He made a noise that was almost a grunt in response.

"Would you? I mean," I took a breath as I tried to find the words, "would it be weird if I asked you to, well-"

"No it's ok." He said, thankfully interrupting me. He rolled over and put his arm around me and pulled me close. I could tell he had changed clothes. These were softer and thicker. I pulled his arm tighter around me.

This was what I wanted. Human contact, but it was more that. Adam made me feel safer than anyone ever had before. I could feel his breath hitting my neck and tickling it slightly. I could get used to this. I think I already was. I didn't want to sleep another night without this, without him.

"Thank you. Good night Adam."

"Night Cas."

This was uncomfortable. Ugh my shoulder hurt from sleeping on it the wrong way. I needed to shift a little. I twisted my body slightly so I could lay on my back when I realised… there was an arm around my waist. Holy shit! Ok, ok. What do I do? Do I just leave? Who on Earth could it be? What happened last night? I needed to calm down. Just breathe.

I looked over my shoulder very slowly and saw… no way. Cute guy from the club?! I slept with Adam! Wait maybe I didn't. We are both wearing clothes. Man I totally creased this dress. Ok focus, the dress is not important.

I looked back over my shoulder again. Adam was fast asleep and he looked so peaceful. Sleep had softened his face and he looked so adorable with his hair slightly messed up. I just wanted to reach over and brush it off of his face. My fingers reached out to do so. Wait! That is crossing a line. You just met the man last night!

What would be the best thing to do right now? Well for starters I needed to go to the bath room. I tried to slide out from underneath Adam's arm. I was almost out of the bed when his arm tightened around me, pulling me back again.

"Stay a little longer." Adam's eyes were completely shut. After he said that he didn't move or say anything else. Maybe he was sleep talking? Being this close to him makes me feel so on edge, but why? A few minutes later I tried to move away from him again.

"Too early. Go back to sleep." He said as he held on to me, not letting me go.

Damn it. What now? If I pull out I will wake him up completely. Right now he is still half asleep. Should I stay? I really had no choice. I couldn't wake him. He was too cute right now. I couldn't bear to. Maybe I could stay 5 minutes longer. I settled myself back down into the blankets and fell asleep.

Looks like Tommy is getting meddlesome and now he is going after Cas. Who do you want Cas to be with? Let me know who you would prefer and maybe, maybe Cas will end up with him.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas again and remember to review! Reviews are love and make me keep writing!
