Chapter 7

Adam's POV

After we pulled away from the kiss, she jumped into my arms and I gladly wrapped them around her. I closed my eyes and let myself be completely consumed by her embrace. It felt so good to have her in my arms again and I just wanted time to stand still and for us to stay locked together like this forever!

"What are you doing here?" she whispered in my ear. I pulled away and looked her in the eye.

"Do you really think I would miss your big moment?" I asked. She smiled and then kissed me again. Jay walked up behind me and smacked my back.

"Adam, I see you just couldn't keep away from me. You really need to get over the fact that I'm not in love with you!" Jay teased. Mandy shoved him away from us.

"You bastard! You knew he was coming the whole time and you didn't tell me!" she yelled. Jay put his hands up in defense.

"Hey now, calm down woman! You should be hitting him! He made me promise not to tell you. It had to be a surprise," Jay stated.

"Honestly, I can't believe he kept it this long. Jay has a rather hard time keeping secrets," I explained.

"Actually, I kinda let it slip," Jay announced, "I accidentally told Trish. I know, I'm sorry, but it just slipped."

"Well that explains why Trish hasn't said two words to me all week. She has trouble keeping secrets as well," Mandy stated as I wrapped my arms around her again.

"Well we might as well go back to the locker room instead of just standing in the middle of the hallway!" Jay insisted as he made his way down the hall.

"I'm sorry I've been so distant lately, but I really wanted this to be a surprise and I just knew that I would let it slip the more I talked to you. Can you ever forgive me?" I pouted as Mandy took my hand.

"I don't know, maybe if you're lucky," She teased as I frowned dramatically, "Of course I will forgive you. Now kiss me before I change my mind!"

When we got back to Mandy's locker room, Trish was waiting for us.

"Mandy, you don't hate me do you? Jay let it slip and I just knew I would go and ruin everything," she nervously explained.

"Trish, don't worry about it. I'm just happy that everything is okay. I was starting to think that everyone was mad at me," Mandy replied. I kissed her neck in response.

"Could that ever happen?" I asked stroking her hair. Just being around her made everything feel so right again. Ever since she had left, it was as if a part of me had gone with her. Just being near her brought back everything that had since been missing in my life.

"Let's hope not. So where is Danny?" Mandy asked turning to look me in the eye.

"Well, I guess that would be the other half of the surprise..." I replied.
