AN - I'm sorry, yet again…this is a short chapter. =/
Charlie's POV
I woke up, and shifted gently. Adam's arms were around me, and I slipped silently out of them. I walked to my pile of clothes. I slipped on the clean ones that I'd brought over the night before. I sighed, after washing up and getting ready for school. I had no reason to, since classes didn't start for another two hours.
Adam stirred in the sheets. The innocent essence of his expression reminded me of what we'd done last night. I didn't want Adam to regret it afterwards, but he insisted that he wouldn't. So we…you know. It might seem weird, but if felt so right! All I wanted was Adam…forever.
That's what I'd thought last night. When I'd finally fallen asleep, it wasn't Adam that I dreamt about. It was Koon. I felt both guilty and confused, when I thought about it.
Adam's eyes fluttered open, and he smiled at me.
"Good morning…" He yawned.
"G'mornin' to you!" I sat down on the edge of his bed.
He took my hand and squeezed it gently. I pressed it to my lips. He sat up.
I smiled at him, and he wrapped his arms around my neck. He kissed my cheek, then backed off. He motioned to the pile of clothes that was his own.
"Will you pass me some of that?" I tilted my head, and did so obligingly.
"I don't see the point, though…It's not like I haven't seen it all." I grinned deviously.
He smirked, and disregarded the clothes. He got out of bed, and strutted rather sheepishly in the buff to the bathroom. I laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes.
Seconds later, I heard the hum of the shower. I looked around his room. I saw the radio, with the samba music in it. I knew that Luis was just trying to be a 'friend', but I couldn't help think that he had an alternate aim.
Adam interrupted my thoughts as he burst out of the bathroom, and quickly dressed in his uniform. I smiled, and gratefully watched him. Like I said, I'm the hothead here!
I was walking towards him…The world's most devilish thoughts running through my mind…He caught me off guard, as he wrapped his arms around my waist, and divulged me in a fiery kiss.
We stood, and he gave me a thorough run-down. I smiled, having the best time of my life.
He shuddered, and I tilted his head, brushing his lips against mine. I pushed him into the wall, loosing control of myself. I pressed him hard, or I must have, because he balked. He slipped away from me, under my arm, and locked himself in the bathroom. I knew it was locked, I tried the doorknob.
"What's wrong, Adam?"
No answer.
"Adam! Talk to me!"
"Yo-you…"
"I what? What did I do?"
I heard him trembling.
"Adam? Please…"
He opened the door. I rushed to embrace him.
He shied away, and huddled back near his bed. I thought for sure that he would pull out some garlic and a cross to see if I was a vampire or something.
It struck me as odd, considering what we'd done the night before. Very odd.
"Charlie - stay there…don't move."
I obeyed.
"You just, made me…nervous…My dad did that once."
I remembered instantly, and sat down cross-legged.
"I'm so sorry, Adam…I completely forgot."
He shrugged.
I felt horrible. How could I have been such a jackass?
"It's okay, Charlie…it just…I don't know what came over me."
"You don't need to explain! Really…I'm sorry."
He smiled at me, and moved to sit next to me on the floor. He leaned against my shoulder, and nestled his head into my neck. I put my arm around his shoulder, and he sighed.
"I love you Charlie."
"I wish you didn't have to leave…"
"That makes two of us."
I felt the tears coming to my eyes, as I looked down at him. I felt awful.
"Charlie?"
"Yeah."
"Make me a promise…"
"What promise?"
"Promise me that you'll never forget me." He looked up at me. "Even after I'm gone."
"Oh, Cakey…I could never forget you. Never."
He seemed content, and closed his eyes. I kissed his forehead, and brushed his hair from his eyes.
There was a knock on the door.
I shifted out from under Banks, and he stood up.
I opened the door, Adam looked at me, then straight ahead.
"Hey guys…"
"Hi Koon." I smiled.
"Hi." Adam half-smiled…I could sense that he still wasn't totally over the preppy bastard comment.
"You guys want to go out for breakfast?"
I looked at Adam, and he shrugged.
"Yeah, sure…"
"Okay. Let's go."
We all left the room, closing the door behind us.
