Chapter 6
CONNIE'S P.O.V
I watched intently as to where I was going whilst Adam drove down the various streets. He had told me that I was dressed just right for where we were going, but I knew of nowhere fancy that would allow us both to walk in wearing jeans and sweaters. I was that busy racking my brain I didn't even notice when Adam pulled into the parking lot.
"We're here". He told me causing me to come crashing back to reality.
"This is it"? I asked lost for words as I looked at my surroundings.
"Yep". He answered as he climbed out of the car.
"Is this some kind of joke"? I followed.
"No".
"I don't know about you but a burger van in central park isn't exactly what I expected when you said you were taking me out to dinner".
"What were you expecting, a fancy restaurant, where we'd have a 3 course meal and a bottle of wine"? He asked.
"Well yeah". I answered.
"I did think of doing that, but then I said to myself, Nah she's a Minnesota girl, posh restaurants aren't her thing". He stopped to face me then began walking again it was only then that I noticed the devious smile on his face.
"Fine, I love burgers from this van, I come here all the time on my way home from the bar". I began playing him at his own game.
"Well good". He didn't bite from my bait.
"I highly recommend the Liberty burger". I told him.
"Right ok, I give in, you know we aren't having burgers, but we aren't going posh either". He pulled back a tree branch revealing a blanket laid out on the grass surrounded by little candles. There was a bottle of champagne sat in a bucket of ice and a basket next to it with what I guessed was our food.
"Adam, this is absolutely amazing, when did you do all this"? I stood in surprise.
"I have my contacts", He replied laughing. "We gonna sit down or are we just gonna stand and stare at it"? He asked gently nudging me forward.
Eventually he got me to sit down, then gently pushed a chicken sandwich into my hands and poured us a glass of champagne each. After eating I leant back on my elbows glancing around me as the candles flickered in the gentle breeze, it was then that I noticed him smiling at me.
"I must have been an angel in my past life to deserve all this". I told him.
"Maybe or maybe you just deserved it". He turned slightly and leant on his elbow stretching his legs out.
"I haven't smiled like this in a LONG time, and it's all because of you".
"Ooh stop, your making me blush". Adam laughed. "Anyway the night is still young". He leant backwards stretching his arm out, then suddenly the Pretenders 'I'll stand by you' song came floating out. "Would you care to dance"? He stood offering me his hand.
"Why not". I pulled myself up with his hand.
When I was stood, I kept hold of his hand and stepped closer to him, feeling his arm wrap softly around my waist and my hand resting on his upper arm. As the mood deepened and the song flowed, I found both my arms encircling his neck and his arms resting around my waist. We didn't even notice when the song ended, it was only when a dog bounded through the low tree branches and delved into the basket of food, that we separated and began shooing the dog away. After it had run off with it's bounty of left overs, I broke down into laughter, soon Adam joined me. After taking about 10 minutes to settle down from the laughter, we began packing up. Neither of us realised until we climbed into his car that it was quite late. We had been in central park for over 3 hours. Neither of us really talked during our journey back to my apartment, I think it was because we didn't want to ruin what had been a perfect evening.
"Oh, hi guys, so did you have fun"? John asked as we walked in.
"Yeah we did". I replied then began laughing again and again I was soon joined by Adam.
"What's so funny"? John looked at us quizzically.
"You just had to be there". I replied after our laughter had subsided.
"Ok, well I'm gonna get off". He grabbed his ruck sack and bid us both goodnight before shutting the door behind him.
"Yeah, I better get off as well". Adam told me.
"Ok, thank you so much for tonight". I hugged him deeply.
"You're more than welcome". He replied as we parted and I leant forward gently pecking his cheek.
We parted slightly, and I stared into his sea blue eyes, without thinking I leant forward and kissed him. The kiss began gently, but soon the heat between us built. Adam's hands ventured from around my waist up into my hair, I rested my arms around his shoulders and soon the kiss had intensified. I could feel Adam hesitate slightly, but soon his tongue ventured into my mouth. Almost simultaneously we took a step back into my apartment and I pushed the door shut with one of my hands. When oxygen became an issue we gently pulled apart but continued looking into each others eyes. It was then that I became nervous and began babbling.
"Adam, I'm sorry I shouldn't have kissed you, it was wrong of me, I'm sorry". I stepped back but only slightly. "You've been amazing to me and I repay you by ruining". I continued but was hushed by another gentle kiss by him, then he rested his forehead on mine.
"It might have escaped your notice there, but you weren't the only one dishing out the kiss". He smiled nervously, but then planted another kiss on my lips.
"I guess your in no rush to go home then"? I smiled replacing my arms around his neck.
"Doesn't look like it to me". He answered. I took hold of his hand and lead him slowly to my bedroom.
Now by no means am I a slut or anything, I don't just bring guys home and sleep with them, but this was different, there was an obvious spark between me and Adam. I had known Adam since I was 10 years old and knew he didn't just kiss girls for the sake of kissing, and as a matter of fact neither did I. Since mine and Guy's split freshmen year at Eden Hall I'd only been out with a few guys in a high school and VERY few since then, mainly due to the fact they didn't like the responsibility that I had, all I had thought at the time I loved, but to be totally honest there had only really been Guy that I had truly loved.
The following morning, I heard the low, monotonous beeping of my alarm, I reached over and banged the 'off' button, letting out a small groan. It was then I noticed 2 arms encircling my waist and one of my hands entwined in his. I smiled to myself, also a little surprised that the alarm hadn't woken him, Adam had always been a light sleeper, much to mine and Julie's annoyance back in high school when boredom had betrayed us and we had started a prank war between ourselves. I started to climb out of bed, pulling out of Adam's arms, but I felt him pulling me back. I turned in his arms where I was met by a gentle kiss.
"Morning". I croaked when we separated.
"Morning". He smiled.
"You can stay in bed if you want, but I have to get up to get Kelly and Tyler to school and then I have to go to work". I planted one last kiss on his lips before trying to get out of bed, yet again did he pull me back. "Adam this isn't funny". I tried to be serious but I couldn't.
"How about, I take Kelly and Tyler to school and you call work and tell them you're sick or something"? He suggested.
"I could". I told him. "But I really shouldn't". I continued.
"What do I have to do, to convince you"? He asked.
"Oh, I don't know". I rubbed his bare upper arm.
"How about, if you don't I'll never say another word to you". He laughed gently.
"That's ok, I can live without words". I leant in gently to kiss him, but he pulled back.
"Ok, how about, I'll never kiss you again". He said causing me to pout, trying to win him around. "It isn't gonna work". He told me ignoring my pout.
"Fine, but only because of the kissing thing". I caved.
After another 5 minutes, we both sluggishly climbed out of bed, I went to get Kelly and Tyler up, whilst Adam made a little breakfast for them. Kelly always a morning person was bouncing around the place, whereas Tyler was nearly falling back asleep whilst walking into the kitchen to collect his breakfast. We had both agreed not to tell Kelly or Tyler anything about us because Kelly especially would get ahead of herself and start talking about wedding plans etc and WE didn't even know how we felt about each other.
"Right you guys ready"? Adam asked after collecting directions from me.
"Huh, how come your taking us"? Kelly asked, not that she minded but she was always seemed to want to know everything.
"Well, I've got the day off again and Adam offered to take you guys and I accepted". I helped Tyler on with his coat.
"Oh, right, well I'm ready". She answered picking up her school bag.
"Don't forget Uncle Pete's picking you up tonight". I told them.
"Yay". Tyler shrieked.
"Ok, I'll see you guys Sunday when I pick you up". I gave Tyler a hug and he gave me a quick kiss then ran over to Adam who was waiting by the door. "Be good". I told Kelly as I gave her a quick hug and kiss before all three were gone.
Well what do you guys think? I promise the ducks will eventually be in this. PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!
