"Drew always talks about you."

Adam forced a small smile as he was forced to interact with someone Drew had introduced him to.

The brothers were at the company's Christmas party. Drew could sense Adam's unhappiness the instant he arrived in Canada. There seemed to be a void as Becky wasn't with him. So Drew had decided to introduce him to a blonde name Stacy.

"He told me you're still in college, but I don't mind that." She smiled her pearly whites that he knew had to be done with whitening. Her flirtations were forced onto him as he tried his best to interact with her and create conversation. It was nearly impossible as she ended anything he would talk about.

So self-absorbed. Adam thought to himself as he sipped his champagne. His eyes roamed the environment as many were in suits and business apparel. Even with that sort of clothing, they weren't discreet with conversation.

Stacy reached for the younger man's tie in order to catch his attention. She was growing a little upset at how uninterested he was. Drew caved in easily to her big breasts and bright smile but his brother was a different story. His eyes barely focused on her and he seemed more interested in his phone than anything.

"My office is empty."

The whisper against his ear made him shiver, he didn't know if it were from disgust or desire. He followed as if giving up while the blonde smirked.

"I need to know, Adam. Is the wedding on hold or cancelled for years to come or what?"

He met up with the planner and his mom was with him. He needed to meet up with her before he had to go back to Tampa but now that he was at the cottage where all sorts of plans were drawn out it felt wrong.

"It's on hold." Adam answered without a thought.

The past month being broken up with Becky did open his eyes to how much he needed her. Now that he had heard the entire wedding being described to him and how he had been taken to the actual spot where he would of stood to get married, he realized how he still pictured Becky.

Not Courtney or the girl he had almost hooked up with. It was Becky. He remembered her describing how she wanted her veil and the precise flowers she wanted to hold. And how she wanted Luke to be the one to give her to him.

"Keep all the plans and everything. Hold out on the invites but we need to come up with best man suits." He fidgeted with his phone in his hand as he waited to be left alone to call.

The planner went over who the priest was as they knew Mr. Baker wasn't too happy about it and just the few details left before she went back inside with his mother.

He quickly dialed and of course was directed to voicemail.

"Becks, I'm at the cottage. I wanted to tell you earlier that I had sex with someone at school and it almost happened again last night… Strange as it sounds, it made me realize something. So we need to talk. Bye."

"I can't believe he almost did it again." Leslie shook her head after listening to the voicemail Adam left Becky.

Becky had played it out loud as she was with her having lunch. "What would he even mean about almost?" That part of the voicemail confused her greatly. Was she supposed to be proud that he held himself back?

Leslie turned on the car engine and buckled up. "I have no idea."

"I'm probably never going to have sex with him again."

Her friend furrowed her brows as she listened to Becky, "This is why STD tests exist! But you are interested in sleeping with him, hm." Leslie poked her arm and laughed. "I feel like this break up is just making it worse for you guys."

Thinking about it, Becky could agree. But after listening to the voicemail it was obvious he had felt something after talking to the wedding planner. She didn't know if it was him realizing that their relationship was doomed or that their relationship could be restored.

"Becks."

"Adam." Becky sighed into the phone as she had finally given in to calling him back. It was the end of the day and she had lost her direction of mind when she scrolled through his hastygram pictures. "I got your voicemail."

"I'm sorry for being so direct and for sleeping with randoms who don't mean anything to me." He said it so quickly she had no time to stop him. "I needed to say that before anything."

She bit her lip and found herself playing with the engagement ring on her desk. "Then why'd you sleep with them, Adam? That really... That really hurt me."

It was time to express her feelings about it and this was the time to do so as he wouldn't be right in front of her. Whenever she sees him she wants to forgive him at an instant or to push him because she's so angry.

"I-I know. I would honestly take it back. Putting everything into drinking, drugs and sex isn't going to help us. I haven't drank since I got here and obviously haven't done weed."

"But you slept with someone."

"Because I felt empty. I needed something to fill that void and screwing someone was the idea but all it did was remind me why I was with you in the first place, you know? Not that the only good thing about us is sex, but I like you as a person. I like how confident and in control you are of everything. How you know yourself so well you know what you need and why you do, unlike me where I need to be led like a child."

Becky smiles lightly as he continues to list all the qualities that he admires about her.

"You're so interesting and complex to talk to because of your opinionated views. Or how passionate you are. You're just so passionate about everything and I miss that in my life."

"You can stop now, Adam." She gazes now at the framed Polaroid she has of him that she took when he felt most confident after his chest surgery. "We need to learn how to handle us, you need to learn how to handle yourself."

Adam looked up to his ceiling as he lied in bed. "I know. I just needed this month break even though I handled it terribly."

"Terrible isn't the best word to describe it."

He laughs into the line and grins, "Let's meet up. I'll be back at my apartment in a week."

"Okay, Adam. I'll text you."

"Okay, Becky."
