Here's the next chapter, which has a lot of Sienna and Adam!
Just a warning there are like two swear words. Any italics are thoughts.
Adam was in a peaceful sleep when he heard a sharp knocking on the door. Slowly opening his eyes, he groaned when he saw that it was eight am. He didn't get home from work until one in the morning and didn't fall asleep until three. He lied there hoping that the knocking would go away but it didn't. Fortunately today happened to be his day off.
"I'm coming" he yelled to whoever was on the other side of the door. He didn't bother to change. Whoever it was waking him up is going to have to deal with him in is pajamas. He had fallen asleep in a white wife beater and Guitar Hero boxers that Hailey had got him for Christmas because he loved that game.
Adam opened the door and to his shook found the blonde woman from three days standing at the door. They two hadn't seen each other since that day, so he was shocked to see the blonde at his door. Dressed in white running shoes, grey sweatpants and a purple hooded sweatshirt with the words NYU written across it in white and her short hair in a messy bun, she definitely wasn't dressed to impress still Adam felt his cheeks flush and turn red just looking at her.
"Hi" she greeted shyly then quickly realized his attire "I'm sorry you were probably sleeping" she noticed his red cheeks "Oh my god you were here with a women I am so sorry for bothering you"
She went to leave but Adam gently grabbed her sweatshirt. She's so cute when she flustered he thought to himself. "You didn't interrupt anything I'm just lazy" he informed her with a laugh "Let me just change" he added and Sienna walked over to take a seat in his kitchen. He came out about a minute later in grey sweats and a short sleeve white shirt. She got up from the chair when she saw him exit his bedroom and just like Adam before, Sienna couldn't help but to check out the attractive man in front of her.
"So what's up?" Adam asked
"Well I'm new in this part of the city and I really don't know my way around. I uhh wanted to go for a walk and its my day off and"
"You need somebody to go with you" he smiled
"Wouldn't want to get lost" she laughed "And seeing as you are the only person I met, I was wondering if you would like to come with me"
Adam smiled again, even though they barely know each other he felt like a teenage boy being around her "On one condition" he spoke "We stop and get coffee first" I'm gonna need it
"Deal" Sienna spoke and watched Adam walk back into his bedroom then come out with a black hoody over his shirt.
The two stopped to get coffee and were now walking the streets of New York City in an amicable silence that Sienna finally broke. "So tell me about yourself Adam Ross" she said taking a sip of her coffee "Gosh I sound like a dating site" they both laughed at that.
"Well I'm originally from Phoenix, moved here a couple of years ago. I am thirty two years old, I work at a crime lab as a lab tech. I am an only child and I like to play Guitar Hero and listen to music when I'm home" "Now I sound like a dating site" he added
"I think you sound cute" she flirted causing her cheeks to turn red.
"What about you" he said trying to ignore the comment and the way she was making him feel.
"I am twenty five from Goshen Pennsylvania which has a population of about 400"laughed Sienna "I moved out here when I was eighteen to go to the NYC school of Medicine where I got my bachelors in Physical therapy"
That caught Adam by surprise and suddenly felt as though he wasn't good enough for her. She is a smart beautiful doctor and he is just a lowly geeky lab tech. He was broken out of his thought when he heard her say "I too love Guitar Hero, I happen to think I'm a master at it"
"Really" he asked
She nodded "What just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I cant be good a video games" she asked
"Because you're a beautiful girl" he stated "I'm sorry"
"Don't be" smiled Sienna "We'll have to play sometime see who is really the best"
"Your on" laughed Adam
All of a sudden she started to run. "What are you doing" Adam shouted
Sienna turned around so that she was facing him. "I came out to get some exercise" she laughed "Are you coming". He didn't answer but ran to catch up with her.
An hour later the two were back at their apartment complex. Sienna with a huge grin on her face while Adam was struggling to catch his breath. "You are evil" he joked
"C'mon you could use the exercise" she kidded
"Are you calling me fat" he replied with mock hurt in his voice
"Definitely not" she replied and couldn't help but to check him out. During the run the weather had warmed up so they both discarded of their sweatshirts. Sienna found herself staring at his toned body. He wasn't the muscled jocks she normally attracted, who all turned out to be jerks and he wasn't the typical pretty boy. He was different and that's what attracted him to her.
"Why don't ya take a picture" Adam joked and it was now her turn to blush
She opened the door to the complex and closed it before Adam could get inside. He opened the door and said "That was low"
Sienna smirked and began walking to the elevator to get to her apartment. Adam caught up with her and got into the elevator just before the doors closed.
"Ya wanna come over" he blurted out "I mean to play Guitar Hero I wanted to take you up on your offer" he noticed her smiling "That it no other intentions.. Yeah.. I mean we barely know each other.. I'm not that kind of guy" he stammered out nervously
Sienna raised an eyebrow a small smile playing at her lips "Do I make you nervous"
His face flushed and he couldn't respond. "I'm kidding" she giggled "I'd loved to but do you mind if I change first, I'm kind of sweating and truthfully I wore this to bed last night" she admitted embarrassed
"Sure" he replied as the elevator stopped signaling they were on their floor. "You can come to my place and wait. Its only fair seeing as I've already been to yours"
He nodded and she led him to her apartment. "Sorry bout the mess" she said opening the door. There were dishes in the sink, clothes and other things thrown about the apartment.
"Please have you seen my place" he joked. His apartment was three times worse then hers. Hailey always told him he needed to clean, and she even helped a few times, but it seemed that as soon as it was neat and tidy two weeks later it was back to being a mess.
"I'll be out in a minute" she told him
"Ready" she said about a minute later wearing khaki cargo pants, a tight black shirt with Johnny Cash written across in maroon with a picture of a guitar and the words 'man in black' and black flip flops, her hair now down
"You're a Johnny Cash fan" he questioned
"Of course who isn't" she giggled
This girl is perfect Adam said to himself.
Walking into his apartment he turned to ask "Do you mind if I take a shower.. I'll be out in like five minutes"
"Yea you kinda smell" she joked
He laughed walking to the bathroom and repeating that he would be out in five minutes and telling Sienna to make herself at home. She sat on his couch looking over a scientific journal he had lying on the table when she heard his door open.
Hailey walked into Adam's apartment to find a blonde stranger sitting on his couch. "Who are you" she asked
Sienna got up from the couch and held her hand out for the pregnant brunette to shake "I'm Sienna are you Adam's roommate?" she questioned
Hailey shook her hand "Adam doesn't have a roommate, I'm Hailey his best friend" she said emphasizing the last two words.
"Ohh" she replied "Are you here to see Adam"
"Why else would I be here" Hailey replied trying not to sound rude but not understanding why this woman is even here
"Well he's in the shower and he should be out a few minutes" Sienna responded in a nice tone. Something told her that she didn't want to get on this woman's bad side.
"Then I'll just wait" she snapped taking a seat on the couch Sienna occupied minutes before
"So how do you know Adam" Hailey questioned while taking a sip of a bottle of water she had in her purse
"I live in this building, just met Adam a few days ago" she answered taking a seat on a dark chair Adam has which is across from the couch
Hailey had no reply and the two sat in uncomfortable silence until Adam walked out about a minute later. He still had on the grey sweats from before, he just changed into a short black sleeved shirt.
"You ready to lose miserably" he yelled jokingly not seeing Hailey at first who noticed the look Adam was giving the blonde. He semmed to be enamored with her.
"You have a visitor" Sienna announced
It was then that Adam saw his pregnant best friend and immediately thought the worst. "What's wrong" he asked rushing over to her side "Is there something wrong with the baby?"
"The baby is fine" she said brushing off his concern "We were suppose to go out for breakfast this morning"
"Ohh" he replied "I'm sorry I forgot"
"I'm sure you did" she snapped glaring at Sienna before turning her attention back to Adam
"I'm sorry Hales" he replied using her nickname
"Adam, how do you forget I called you last night and you told me you would come" she replied angrily " And I have important stuff I need to talk to you about"
"It slipped my mind" he declared. Adam didn't usually get angry but he couldn't understand why she was trying to make such a big deal out of this
"Adam I called your phone five times I thought something was wrong with you" she told him with tears brimming in her eyes. For the past few days she had been crying at the smallest things. "And then I come her to find you dumped me for some chick you don't even know"
"Its not like that" he said trying to calm her down
"Whatever" she snapped grabbing her bag from the couch "Have fun with your girlfriend" she yelled bitterly before slamming the door
What the hell just happened he thought to himself then turn to look at the confused Sienna
"I'm sorry about that" he told her "I don't know what's gotten into her"
"Besides the hormones" she joked which made Adam smile "You guys go out to breakfast often"
"Yeah we usually go bout once a week but she called last night and wanted to meet" Adam shrugged
"I think she's jealous" Sienna concluded
Adam laughed at that statement "You don't know her"
"I know but from what I saw she really needed you and you weren't there" she told him "She may think I'm trying to replace her"
"Are you sure your not a therapist" Adam chuckled
Sienna shook her head "No but I did take psych classes in college"
"I think you should talk to her" she said walking towards the door " I'll take a rain check on the game"
"Wait" he yelled wanting to spend as much time he could with this women. Even though they had only spent a day, there was something about her that made him want to become friends with her.
"I will call her later" he added " Give her a chance to cool down" he laughed
"Are you sure" she said raising an eyebrow "I don't want her to hate me, especially since were gonna be friends"
"Who said we were gonna be friends" Adam joked
"Well I don't just share my Guitar Hero secret with anybody" Sienna giggled. A giggle Adam Ross had come to love hearing.
"Well it's a good thing I have the day off" he told her
"Whys that" she replied
"Cause now we could spend the whole day together" he laughed but deep down was excited about that
Sienna smiled "Are you ready to get your ass kicked"
Adam didn't answer because if he did he might let out all the dirty thoughts that were going through his head.
An angered Hailey practically stomped her way though the hallways of the crime lab and into the locker room. Punching in her password on the lock and opening the locker and taking off the jacket she was wearing, she grabbed a light blue cardigan she had left in the locker. She slid off her sneakers and put on a pair of white flats. Slamming the locker shut, she truned around to see the eyes of three lab techs all on her.
"What" she yelled as almost immediately they all went back to their business
"Having fun biting peoples heads off" the voice of Stella Boneserra emanated into the locker room.
"They need to mind their own business" she snapped
Stella studied her friend for a moment and knew that something was going on with her. "You look like you need to talk to someone, why don't you meet me in the break room in five minutes" Stella said and without waiting for a reply she left.
Hailey got to the break room before Stella and sat down at a small empty table. She had a lunch made for the day which is in a brown paper bag, she had stopped along the way to work to pick up some prenatal vitamins, which were also in the bag. Opening the bottle and taking two out, she didn't notice Stella walking in.
"Why are you taking prenatal vitamins" Stella questioned although it was obvious
"Because I'm pregnant" she admitted after swallowing the two pills
"Congratulations sweetie" she said walking and giving her friend a peck on the cheek then taking a seat on the chair opposite of her.
"I didn't know you were seeing anyone" Stella stated
"I'm not" she told her "Its Flack's" Hailey admitted after a long silence
To say Stella was shocked was an understatement and she was having trouble coming up with words to say "Wow" was all she could get out
"Yea" was Hailey's uncomfortable reply "It was one night, we were drunk"
"You don't have to explain it to me, we've all been there" she informed her
"Except most people don't get themselves knocked up" she joked
Stella laughed "How's Flack handling it assuming he knows"
"He knows" she confirmed "He's taking it surprisingly well. I'm actually gonna move in with him" Hailey noticed the intrigued look on her friends' face "It was his idea. Says he wants to be close to the baby."
Stella nodded then asked "What's bothering you?"
"Huh"
"Something's bothering you, what is it?" she pressed
"Adam" was her one word response
"Okay" she responded waiting for Hailey to talk but that didn't come "I cant read your mind sweetie" Stella laughed
"Sorry" Hailey replied "Its just that I really wanted to talk to him about what's going on. I mean he doesn't even know that Flack's the father. After we made plans and he didn't show I went over to his apartment to find some girl there" she said now crying
"All I wanted was my best friend and he didn't even seem to care" she sniffled as Stella walked over to the counter to grab a box of tissues
"He barely knows this girl yet he would rather spend time with her then me" she sniffled again then thanked Stella for handing her the box of tissues.
"That doesn't sound like Adam" she told her honestly "I don't think this is about Adam or this girl, I think its about you"
Hailey looked at her incredulously "Outside of Lindsay and I, you are the only female in Adam's life, and you guys are incredibly close, so you feel threatened by seeing him with somebody else, somebody new"
"You think I'm right" Stella asked as her friend looked at her with teary eyes
"I guess" Hailey replied "I'm afraid of loosing him Stella, he's like a brother to me"
"Your not going to lose him" she said "You think just because he hung out with one girl that he would abandon you as a friend"
"You don't know Adam as well as I do" Hailey declared "I could tell just by looking at her that she's someone Adam would want to stick around. And besides he wouldn't dump me for just some random chick" she laughed
Stella smiled at her friend "So you may be right about that" she said reaching her hand and giving Hailey's a friendly tap on hers "But I do know that no matter what happens Adam will always have time for you. So don't let this ruin your friendship"
Hailey didn't reply but got up from the table, walked to the other side as Stella stood up and gave her a friendly hug. "Thanks Stell, I really needed a girl talk"
"Anytime" she called to the now retreating Hailey. Once she was out of side Stella pulled out her cell phone and dialed a friend "Hey Linds….. I need your help with a baby shower" she smiled knowing that Hailey needed to have fun and be with her friends.
It was later on in the evening when Hailey found herself knocking on Adam's door. Her apartment was only a few blocks from his, so she decided to stop at his place. She knocked a few times and was about to leave and try again the next day when the door opened.
"Hey" Adam greeted
"Hey" she replied back
"Come in" he said ushering her in. Once inside she saw that Sienna was still there
"I have to go" Sienna announced
"Wait, I wanna talk to both of you" Hailey said "I want to apologize for this morning. I was rude"
"Its okay" Sienna smiled lightly "I understand"
Hailey shook her head "This is really hard for me to admit but I'm jealous"
Adam stared at his best friend shocked at what she just admitted. "Shut up" Hailey said to him even though he hadn't said anything. She knew what he was thinking by the look on his face.
"I'm a detective, so I can read people. And when I saw you here I could tell that Adam likes you. I mean do you really think he would allow you to see this mess" she motioned to his apartment "if he didn't like you. But when I came here and saw that he was with someone else I felt like I was being replaced. It was liked he would rather be with someone he doesn't know than me." she frowned "My life is a mess as it is and I don't want to lose the one person who keeps me sane"
"You wont" Adam declared to his best friend "Hales, I'm sorry you feel that way. I was a jerk this morning but I didn't intentionally blow you off. I am always going to be there for you no matter who comes in to my life"
Hailey shot an astounded look at her friend "Who are you and what have you done with Adam" she laughed
"I've been watching a lot of Dr. Phil" he joked "So are we good"
"Were good" she said giving him a hug
"You wanna stay so we can talk" Adam asked letting her out of the hug
"Just meet me tomorrow at the restaurant and you better be there or I'll kill you" she informed him as he laughed
"I'm not joking" she smiled then turned to Sienna "I hope you don't think I'm crazy"
"Not at all" Sienna laughed "I understand and I do like Adam, and I hope we'll be friends but I promise I wont get in between the two of you"
"Good, maybe we should just share him" Hailey smiled
"I can take him on the weekends" Sienna joked
Adam studied the sight before him. His best friend and the women who quickly became his friend, who he hoped one day would be more, smiling and laughing.
"I should go gotta get up early for work tomorrow" Hailey announced then said goodbye to Sienna and Adam"
"Well she's sure is something" Sienna laughed
"Yeah" Adam replied She sure is.
But I cant imagine my life without her.
