When I woke up, I couldn´t believe how long I had been sleeping. It was almost 10 am and besides being awake for about one hour, I had slept more than 10 hours.
Than I felt Adrians arm around my waist and his warm breath against back. I didn´t dare to move. The feeling was just to wonderful. I slowly took his hand in mine, careful, so I wouldn´t wake him.
I closed my eyes again, only to take in this perfect moment.
I felt his embrace getting tighter and I smiled.
"Are you awake?" I whispered.
I felt a kiss on my back and my smile grew bigger.
"Are you better?" I asked slowly turning around to face him.
He smiled at me and kissed me "Much better" he said.
"There, you said you were ok. I knew something was up" I said looking at him worried again
"What is it? You can tell me" I said still looking at him.
"I know I can," he said in a low voice "and it really is not that bad... Sometimes spirit just gives me... a hard time, that´s all" he said giving me a smile that didn´t reach his eyes completely.
"Define hard time" I said."Well I get caught up in some stupid thought, that brings me to another stupid thought and that keeps me up all night" he said turning his head around to demonstrate the spiral of thoughts he had just described.
I looked at him in concern "What did you think about?" I asked.
"It´s hard to explain. Most of the time it´s more like... bad feelings. Something in my head, that tries to...well kind of mess with me" he said "But I´m good now, promise" he said and I could figuratively see him shove away the bad memories to give me a smile, that this time was genuine.
I nodded and smiled at him as well. I understood, that he really didn´t want to talk about it anymore, so I decided I would leave it at that with my questions.
"Adrian?" I said "You can talk with me about those things, you know" I went on.
He was about to pacify me, when I went on "not now, but if you feel like it"
He pulled me in his arms "Thanks Sage" he said kissing my nose "and I will. But for now, I just want to enjoy the time we have together" he said.
I nodded and smiled at him "Fine with me" I replied.
I pretty soon got distracted by his marvelous lips on mine. I felt his tongue on the entrance of my mouth and I welcome it with my own. As always, I lost myself in the way he tasted, the way he smelled and the way my body felt so close to him.
"You know, waking up like this is perfection" Adrian said breathy between two kisses.
I sighed in response and he pulled me closer, so that I felt his muscular body against my own.
My whole body got tingly, when he grabbed my thigh, to put my leg across his waist.
His hand remained on my thigh, slowly brushing the bare skin with his fingertips as we were still kissing heavily.
I gasped at the sensation of his soft yet tempting touch. My hand wandered under his shirt and I slowly began to caress his perfect abs. He moaned softly as my fingertips traced every defined line of his stomach.
"Like I said" he said throatily "you´re a natural".
I smiled at that and was about to touch more of his perfect body, when someone knocked on the door.
I managed to escape Adrians embrace to sit on the bed.
Adrian grinned at that "Sage, relax, everybody in this house knows about us" he said trying to pull me back in his arms.
I waved his hand away and looked at the door ""Come in" I said trying to sound normal.
The door opened and Adrian fell back on the bed making an annoyed sound.
"Hey..." Jill said. I could see in her eyes, that she wasn´t exactly comfortable being in the room, with us still in bed. I tried to go through my hair as casually as possible. I could only imagine how wild it looked.
"Hey Jailbait" Adrian said with a smile at her "What´s up?"
"Ehm... Eddie made breakfast, sooo are you guys... well joining us?" she asked looking at Adrian and than back at me.
"Yea sure" I nodded looking at Adrian and he nodded as well.
"Yea we´ll be there" Adrian said with a smile at Jill, trying to pull me back to him.
"Well, we´re kind of eating now, sooo..." Jill began.
I got up "Ok, well than, we´re coming now" I said in Adrians direction emphasizing the word now.
"Super" Jill said with a smile and was out of the room.
I looked at Adrian with a grin "Come on, get up"
"I don´t want to get up, I want you back in bed kissing me" he said with a mischievous smile.
I crawled back on to the bed and rolled on top of him. I sat on his lap and he grinned at me, obviously enjoying it.
"There is so much more time for that" I said giving him a deep kiss "but now" I said grabbing his hands "we´re going to have breakfast with Jill and Eddie"I went on.
I managed to get up and pull him with me.
"Promise?" he asked with a fake moping face.
I laughed at that and nodded. "Promise!" I said.
He than gave in with a smile and with a soft clap on my bottom he jumped from the bed and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
I was standing on the bed for another second and I looked at him with my mouth open. Than I was giggling, while I was rushing to overtake him.
When we entered the kitchen Jill and Eddie kind of flinched apart.
I noticed an amused smile on Adrians face and I nudged him softly. He understood my sign and sat down on the table without saying a word.
"Good morning" I said to Eddie and he smiled at me
"Good morning" he said offering my a bagel.
"Thanks" I said, taking one and placing it on my table.
I poured myself a cup of coffee and closed my eyes, when the delicious liquid ran down my throat. After a few sips, I looked around the table. I hadn´t realized it until than, but I was really hungry.
We started to eat and it was perfect just to lounge on the table for how long we wanted to. No school nor obligation, just having a good time with my friends and of course Adrian.
Every now and than I noticed a shy look from Jill in Eddies direction and he seemed to be in a extraordinary good mood. I really was curious what was going on between them.
I felt Adrians hand in mine on my lap and I smiled at him.
"So, what are you up to today?" Eddie asked after a while.
"There is a museum only half an hour away I wanted to check out. I always wanted to go there, but it´s a 3 hour drive from Palm Springs" I said and all eyes were on me.
"A museum?" Jill asked with wide eyes.
"Well yes. It´s about Tuscan art. It´s supposed to be beautiful" I said looking into six arched eyebrows.
"Sydney, don´t get me wrong, but we´re on vacation. A museum isn´t really something that falls under the category of having fun" Eddie said in an amused voice.
I shrugged and looked at all of them.
Adrian chuckled "Ok, ok, I´m coming" he said and now Eddies and Jills eyes were on him.
"Are you for real?" Jill asked "you did get that it´s a museum we´re talking about, right?" she asked with a grin.
I was really getting annoyed by everyone saying the word museum like it was something like going to a dentists appointment
"I know" Adrian said with a smile at me "tuscan art sounds... ehm great" he said.
I rolled my eyes.
"You know, I can go by myself. You guys do what ever you think is fun" I said emphasizing the word fun excessively.
Jill looked at me apologetically "Sorry" she muttered and I saw her looking at Eddie and Adrian.
"Yea, sorry Sydney" Eddie said giving me a smile "We could meet up later to have dinner or something" he went on.
I nodded and looked at Adrian.
"I´m coming with you" he said gentle "I bet you can make going to a museum fun" he said with a mischievous smile and Eddie and Jill snorted at that, but I saw a smile in their faces, too.
"Ok than" I said getting up. I was still a little hurt by their reaction, even though I knew it was stupid.
"I´ll hop under the shower" I said leaving the room.
