While I was thinking at the conversation with dad, my cell ranged. It was Adam. Speaking of the devil, eh?
'-Hi. What's up?' I asked.
'-Nothing much. Just checking up on you.'
'-Well, I'm ok-ish. You?'
'-Ish? Why?'
'-It's something we have to talk face to face.'
'-Ok. When?'
'-What about now?' I asked not wanting any delays, life is too short for that.
'-Sure. I'll come by your room in 5.' he said and I hanged up. My mind was already made up I just needed to know Adam's feelings. I can't afford to be heartbroken again.
5 minutes later Adam knocked on my door.
'-What's the big mystery you couldn't say on the phone?' he asked with a chuckle.
'-I need to know your feelings for me before I say anything else.' I said and he was a bit shocked.
'-Ummm, my feelings haven't changed at all. You know very well that I love you but if you want us to be just friends I'll do as you wish.'
'-Good, because I want us to try dating if you want.' I said and he was shocked.
'-Oh my God. I'd love that.' he said and I smiled.
'-I was hoping that you would say that.' I said.
'-But what's with the sudden change of heart though?'
'-Well dad said something that gave a lot to think and I realized that I was wrong all the time.'
'-So he would be ok with us dating?'
'-Yeah and if someone thinks otherwise I would love to give them a piece of my mind.' I said and he started to laugh.
Soon we turned our conversation into a make out session.
'-If we carry on we might need some CPR.' I said laughing.
'-True. We have all of our lives to do that but first get ready, tonight is our first date.' he announced.
'-Great. What should I wear?'
'-Surprise me.' he said.
'-Can I know at least where we're going?'
'-Movie, dinner and dancing.'
'-So you remembered that I like to dance.' I said laughing.
'-Of course. How can I forget something like that.'
'-I just have to take your word for that, don't I?' I asked and smirked.
'-You know what else I know about you?'
'-Amaze me.' I said.
'-That you get tickle-ish very fast.' he said and started to tickle me.
'-Adam, stop, I can't...breath.'
'-I'll stop with one condition.'
'-That's blackmail. But let's hear it.' I managed to say.
'-Will you be my girlfriend?'
'-Yeah but there's no need for blackmail, goof.' I said and kissed the top of his head.
'-Well girlfriend get ready for our date.'
'-Will do and see ya.' I said then kissed him one more time.
Our first date was magical. We went and saw "Something Borrowed", then to a fancy restaurant and afterwards to a club. We acted like 2 teenagers but where's the news?
'-Still wearing the bracelet huh?' he asked smirking.
'-Yeah, I don't think I've ever took it off.'
'-Not even when you were with Bennett?'
'-Nope. Crazy huh?'
'-Not really. You knew that you were meant to be with me.' he said laughing.
'-Neah, I just have a thing for diamonds.' I said laughing too.
We went back to my room and let's say that we made up for all the time we've lost.
***Next morning***
After such an eventful night I completely forgot that Dave was suppose to come and wake me up, because I have this habit of turning of the alarm and go back to bed. Around 10 Dave knocked on my door and when he saw that I didn't answered he used the spare key to get in. Without looking at the bed or around the room he shouted:
'-Get your lazy ass out of the bed Cher.' Then he turned around and saw me stirring and then he saw Adam.
'-Jesus Christ.' He said shocked.
'-What now?' I asked but didn't realized what was going on.
'-Ummm, Dave some privacy please.' Adam said.
'-Dave?' I asked shocked and covered myself.
'-I didn't see anything, thank God for that.' Dave said .
'-I'm up now so can we talk later?' I asked.
'-Yeah, I need to get this out of my head.' he said and left.
'-Do you think he's upset?' Adam said laughing.
'-I don't know. Man, that was fun to watch. His face was hilarious.' I said laughing too.
'-Only you can say something like that.' Adam said and ruffled my hair.
2 hours later, Adam and I managed to get dressed and get to the lobby.
Everybody turned their heads when they saw us coming. John, Randy, Jeff and Dave were giggling like idiots.
'-I take it that Dave shared the latest news?' I said sarcastically.
'-More than we wanted.' Matt said.
'-Any thoughts? No? Good, let's get going.' I said without waiting for an answer. Adam just shook his head and followed me. While I was loading the bags in the car, my phone ranged. It was Haley.
'-Hey bestie.' She said cheerfully.
'-Hi Hales. What's up?' I said and Adam looked at me like: "wanna tell her?"
'-I have great news, I'm pregnant.'
'-That's awesome. Adam is here want me to put the phone on speaker?'
'-That would be great.' I said and put the phone on speaker.
'-Hey bro, guess what? You'll be an uncle.' she said giggling.
'-Congrats lil' sis. We have some news too.' Adam started.
'-Please tell me that you 2 finally hooked up.' she said laughing.
'-Actually we did.' I said and she went silent.
'-Hales? You still there?' Adam asked.
'-Yeah. You 2 for real?'
'-Yep.' I said
'-Well, it was about damn time.' she said laughing. Adam and I were relieved that Hales wasn't against us.
'-I'll let you do your thing. My husband needs me.' she said laughing and I hanged up.
I decided to call dad and tell him because I didn't want him to hear it from someone else. He seemed relieved and he was happy for me. But of course he gave the "dad" talk to Adam, then I called mom and Simon and after I told them about me and Adam all they said was: "Finally". I've got some weird parents.
'-One more person to talk to but that has to be face to face.' I said.
'-Mike?'
'-Yeah, he did tried to make us see that we belong together years ago.'
'-True.' Adam said with a chuckle.
We went to the arena and my first stop was Mike's locker room.
'-You decent Mikey?' I asked.
'-Cher. Missed you a lot.' he said hugging me.
'-You saw me a couple of days ago.'
'-Yeah, but we didn't had time to hang out.'
'-True. Got some news for you and I bet you're gonna say: "I told ya."
'-What news? I like when I'm right.' he said and I started to laugh.
'-Well, Adam and I started dating.'
'-What? That's awesome. I'm glad for you 2.' he said and hugged me again.
'-Thanks Mike. I mean it. You did pretty much everything to make us realize that we belong together and thank God that we finally saw that.' I said with a chuckle.
'-I'm glad you 2 realized that. You made some bad choices but you ended up where you were suppose to be.'
Who knew that Mike is so wise? I didn't, but he is right. I made some choices along the way, good or bad I'll let you be the judge but as Mike said all that matters is that I am where I belong and with who I belong.
