Chapter 7
ADAM'S P.O.V
I had just spent an amazing night with Connie. Originally I had taken her out to 'dinner' in central park as friends and on our return, she had thanked me and without any thought or care we had kissed each other. One thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together. As I was falling asleep, I was slightly worried that this would ruin any relationship we had already, but those worries were soon banished when we both woke up next to each other.
I had offered to take Kelly and Tyler to school, so that she could call in sick to work or something. I really wanted to spend the day with her, especially after last night. After following Connie's directions, I dropped Kelly off and watched her make her way to her first class, then I walked hand in hand with Tyler into the kindergarten.
"Right, I'll see you later Ty". I helped him off with his little back pack and he was off like a flash.
I left the school grounds and made my way back to Connie's apartment, where I found her cleaning the dishes. Even in a pair of baggy pants and old t shirt she looked incredibly gorgeous. I walked in silently and stepped behind her.
"Guess who"? I put my hands gently over her eyes.
"Oh, I don't know, a handsome man, worth millions, who's come to do all my house work then sweep me off my feet". She replied, prizing my hands away from her face and turning in my arms.
"Well, you were right about the handsome part and the sweeping off your feet, but as far as worth millions and doing the house work goes, then seems like you got the wrong guy". I laughed gently.
"No looks like I got the right one". She wiped some bubbles on my nose and kissed me tentatively.
"So, have you got the day off work"? I asked.
"Yeah, I rang the restaurant and booked a day off then the bar and booked the night off, so I'm all yours today".
"Well let's not waste anytime". I took her hand and walked out of the kitchen.
"Adam, I think we need to talk"? She told me.
I knew what was coming next, nothing ever good happened when someone started a sentence with 'I think we need to talk'. It was one of those sentences you never wanted to hear unless you were the one saying it.
"What about"? I acted dumb.
"About us". She replied and led me to the sofa.
"What about us"? I continued acting dumb, but dreading the arrival of the following words that were about to exit her mouth.
"Listen, I really, really enjoyed myself with you last night". Here we go I thought. "And I REALLY like you, I know this is going to sound really stupid no matter how I put it, so here goes, no matter what happens with us, I want us to always be friends ok". She blurted out. A wave of relief suddenly crossed me.
"I really like you too". I felt like I was 16 again but I didn't care. "In fact, I more than just like you, and I'm gonna sound so 16 years old now, but how about we go steady". I laughed gently at myself, but she didn't. "I know there's more than just you, there's Kelly and Tyler too, I don't care about that".
"That wasn't what I was thinking about". She cracked a smile.
"Then what"?
"Just how I was going to tell you my answer".
"And what is your answer"? I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
"Yes". She replied slowly.
When her words registered, I leant forward and pulled her into a heated kiss. When we parted Connie let out a little giggle and I leant in and kissed her softly a few more times.
"But how are we gonna do this, I mean I live here, you live in Minnesota"? She asked me finally, bringing a downer on the mood we already had going.
"You could always come back with me".
"I wish I could, but I can't, not yet anyway". She answered. "Listen, how about in a few weeks, during spring break, I come and visit then again in the summer and we'll take it from there".
"Sounds like a plan". I answered.
"When exactly do you go home"?
"My flight leaves tomorrow". I replied bringing in another downer.
"Well, I suppose I ought to make the best of the time we have left then". She jumped up and lead me back to the bedroom.
The following day, Connie had to go into work but had organised with her boss at the restaurant to do half her shift so she could accompany me to the airport. When I knew she'd be back , I said my goodbyes to my brother and Yvonne and headed over to Connie's. When I arrived she had just walked in herself and greeted me with a quick kiss, before dashing to change out of her uniform. On her return she held out a photo of herself, Kelly and Tyler.
"Just so you don't forget me. I haven't got any of me on my own, but this is the most recent". She told me.
"When was this"? I asked noticing the huge smiles on all three of their faces.
"It was when we went to the carnival that's held in central perk, John took it. It was right before all four of us went on the waltzer".
"Thanks". I placed it in the top of my carry on.
The taxi ride to the airport was a quiet one, but there was nothing that needed saying. I didn't want to leave, I'd had the best time of my life spending the last day and a half just laid in bed with Connie, we had talked about the ducks and what the last 3 years had been like for us. We eventually got to my gate and I turned to face her. I could see the few tears in her eyes that I knew she was fighting against.
"So this is it". I said stating the obvious.
"Guess so. Thank you for everything these last few days". The first tear fell.
"Thank YOU". I replied and pulled her into a hug as I heard my flight being called for.
"Call me when you get home". She told me.
"It's the first thing I'll do". I answered and pulled her in for a kiss. It was no where near as heated as they had been but, the feeling was there. "I best go". I kissed her quickly before going through the gate.
When I got on the plane, I glanced out of the window, then reached in my carry on and retrieved the photo out. As the plane took off I didn't take my eyes of the photo, thinking really about what I was leaving behind.
Well, I'll leave it there I guess. PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!
