For the sixth time....I own nothing.
The reviews have been so great. Thanks and keep it up.
I'm almost done with this, but I still have some stuff I want to do.
Chapter 6: Mom
I woke up the next morning feeling Adam's strong arms around me. It was the most incredible feeling. For years I had dreamt of this, but I never imagined it would feel this incredible. I tilt my head to see his face and I see him quickly shut his eyes.
"I know you're awake."
"Um, no I'm not."
"Oh really, I didn't realize that you were a sleep talker. Well since you are asleep I'm gonna jump in the shower."
I go to get up, but Adam pulls me back onto the bed. We are both laughing.
"Oh no you don't, you are staying in bed with me."
Adam is now somehow on top of me and he has the biggest smile on his face.
"I thought you were asleep?"
"Well, I guess I woke up when the beautiful women lying next to me decided to get out of bed." He leans down and kisses me. I think I'm in heaven.
"You know, we can't stay in bed forever."
"Why?" He is whining now.
"For one thing we are going to need to eat. Plus, the guys will probably be up soon and I don't want them to barge in on us."
"You don't want the guys to find out about us?" He looks concerned.
"No, I want everyone to find out, but I would rather be fully clothed."
"Yeah, that would probably be a good idea. Are you hungry yet?"
"I'm starved!"
"Me too. Alright I'm gonna head downstairs and see what's in the kitchen. You, my dear Kitty Cat, get dressed and meet me downstairs."
He gives me a quick kiss, puts on his sweatpants and leaves the room. I, on the other hand, fall backwards onto the bed. I can't believe this is happening to me. How did this happen. Less than 24 hours ago I was completely miserable and now I have never been happier. I think my face actually hurts from smiling so much.
After reviewing the events of yesterday I get out of bed throw on my cloths from the previous night and head downstairs. When I get to the kitchen I just stop at the door and stare. There is Adam, my Adam, cooking breakfast shirtless! God he is so beautiful. I don't know how long I was standing there, but I finally notice that Adam is now staring at me.
"Good morning." I say with a smile. "What are you making?"
"Scrambled eggs and toast."
I look at the counter and notice a lot of food.
"How hungry do you think I am?"
He laughs. "I figure the guys will be up soon and we both know how hungry they can be in the morning." Now we are both laughing.
"You're such a mom Adam."
"What are you talking about?"
"Every group of friends has that one person who is like their mom. The one friend that makes sure everyone is ok, that everyone has packed everything or that everyone has a ride. Now usually it's a girl and for a long time I thought our mom was Charlie, but I just realized that's it's you." I lean in and give him a kiss.
"Why, because I made breakfast for everyone?"
"That and I am willing to bet that before you came down you checked on the guys to make sure they all got home last night."
Adam turns his head away.
"Huh, I knew it. See you're our mom. It's one of the things I love about you."
"Oh really, what are some of the other things?"
"Well, your incredible handsome, you have an amazing body, and your kisses are like heaven."
"Hey, what about my incredible mind?"
"Yeah, there is that too. But you know what really made me fall in love with you?"
He shakes his head no. "Your heart. You have an amazing heart, Adam."
"No more than anyone else."
"Are you kidding me? Adam, your entire life you have been knocked down. First by your dad, then by the whole Hawks/Ducks thing. You finally find your place with the Ducks and then you get hurt, twice. God, then there was the whole Varsity/JV prank war. But every time you kept fighting and you always let us back in. You didn't have to do that. We were horrible to you. I don't know if I could have made the decision you made, picking JV over Varsity. That took a lot of strength and a whole lot of heart."
"Julie, there was no decision. I never wanted to play Varsity; that was my dad. You guys were my friends and I wanted to be with you. Ducks fly together, right?"
We both just smile. We are about to kiss when we hear the guys running down the steps.
"Hey do I smile eggs?"
"Yes Portman, there are eggs and toast. The juice is in the refrigerator."
All the guys have now barreled into the kitchen and are grabbing plates. Charlie pats Adam on the back and says "Thanks mom." Adam and I just look at each other and laugh. No one else seems to notice.
