Falling to Soon
Shalimar woke up, for aminute not remembering where she was. Oh...yeah, Sanctuary. Adam's words echoed in her head, *Mabye you should stay here for a while*. Stay here. Well, where else could she go? She had no family, no real close friends she could could crash with, Sanctuary seemed the best choice now. But she didn't know anything about this Adam guy, she trusted him, but she had learned long ago not to trust people to fast. Shalimar got out of bed, walked out her bedroom door, and onto the balcony over looking the stream embedded in the floor. Adam as working down below. She watched him, his dark curls bouncing a little as he walked. *Great* she thought, *One day, and I'm already falling for him.*
"Adam!" Shalimar called down to him. He looked up, and smiled. Her heart began to beat a little faster at his smile.
"Hi," he answered, "hungry?"
"Starved." She walked down the stairs to him. Adam looked her over, and raised his eyebrow as he realized that she was still in her PJ's.
"Aren't you a little cold?" Shalimar looked down, then crossed her arms and shrugged.
"No, I'm good like this," she grinned. "what time is it?"
"It's actually eight oclock at night...you slept through the whole day. " Shalimar smiled sheepishly.
"So, got any food?"
"Actually, no, I don't eat much." Adam said.
"Well, I have an idea, there's a new club opening down town. Wanna come with?"
"I don't know, "
"Oh come on, Adam, " she grabbed his arm,"It'll be fun." She pouted. Adam couldn't resist.
"Okay, give a half an hour, okay?"
"Deal, " Shalimar smiled, and ran up stairs to change.
Half an hour later, Shalimar and Adam headed towards the club. Adam couldn't get his eyes off her. She looked stunning, as usual. She had on a black tube top, and matching black jeans. On her feet were high-heeled, strappy sandals. Her beautifull golden hair fell softly over her leather coat, and gold hoops hunf from her ears. *No, no way, * Adam thought, *I am not attracted to her, okay, so maybe she is gorgeous and sexy, and....ok, don't go there Adam. This has to be purely buisness.* Shalimar lead him to the bar,
"What do you want?" Adam asked.
"Um...Pina Coloda." Adam ordered their drinks. A slow song came on over the speakers, filling the room with a soft feel. "Oh, this is my favorite song, come on, let's dance! Oh, come on!" She grabbed his hand, and led him over to the dance floor. Shalimar wrapped her arms around Adam's neck, and swayed with the music. The song was sultry and seductive, daring Shalimar to come closer to him. Adam felt her mold her body too his, and wrapped his arms tighter around her. He knew that he shouldn't do this, that this was going to fast, but rihgt now, feeling her body so close to him, he didn't care. She laid her head on his shoulder, smelling in the scent of him. It felt like the night was full of possibilities, the night was driving her drunk, and she went wild with it.she raised her head to his , and brushed her lips tentively. Adam looked at her, and brought his lips down to meet hers. Time seemed to stand still for them, as they explored each other's mouths. Abrubtly, the song ended. Shalimar reddened, and stammered.
"Oh, um..sorry, I din't know what came over me." and she ran out of th club.
"shalimar! Wait!" Adam pushed through the throng of people. The cold air hit him as he opened the door. "Shalimar!" He ran after her, seeing her finally stop, catching her breath as she leaned agaisnt a brick building. "Shalimar, it's okay, why'd you run away?" Shalimar hugged herself, and shrugged, her hair falling over her face. "Look, I'm sorry if this was to fast, but..." adam trailed off.
"No, it's okay, it's just, i've been hurt too many times, and I...I don't want to be hurt again." Adam put his arm around her shoulders, leading her home.
"Come on, let's go home. " Shalimar nodded and leaned into him as they walked. *what a weakling I am!* Shalimar chuckled. She had to admit that she enjoyed the feel of his lips on hers.She told herself that she was just being paranoid, and that Adam would never hurt her like Sam did. Shalimar finally pushed her thoughts and worries away, letting Adam lead her into the night.
