"So what do you want to do today?" Adam asks, sitting down at the table across from me the next morning. "I dunno. I don't have work today, so I dunno. What are you doing?" I ask, poking at my eggs and potatoes. "I haven't been in the studio for a while, so I feel that I should go in for a while. I'll leave early so we can spend the rest of the day together, How's that?" Adam says, tearing the crust off of his toast. "I like the sound of it a lot." I reply pouring another spoonful of sugar into my coffee and this earns a snicker from Adam. "What?" I ask taking a sip, and then deciding that it's still not sweet enough, I add another spoonful. "You are going to be so hyper after that cup." Adam says taking a sip of his black cup. "You find it funny that I put so much sugar in mine and I find it funny that you drink yours black." Adam wrinkles up his forehead and says, "How's that funny yo?" I raise my eyebrows and I take another sip of my coffee, finally satisfied with the taste of it.

"I've got to get going. I'll be back like 2-3 this afternoon?" Adam says standing up. "I like 2 better." I say, grinning. "Cha I bet you do." Adam says grinning back as he leans down to kiss me. I kiss him back, and then kiss him again and again until he finally pulls away. I pull him back towards me and kiss him a couple more times. Adam gives me one last kiss, and then he pulls away. "Jane, I've got to go." Adam says as he kisses me one last kiss. With a sigh, I kiss him back and he walks towards the door. "Bye." he says as his head disappears from my sight and I hear the door latch behind him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Around 2:00 I hear a key in the door and looking up, I see Adam closing the door behind him. He looks over at me and smiles. "Hey baby." he says as he kicks off his shoes by the door. "Hey." I say, saving the Microsoft works project that I'd just been working on. I stand up and walk over to him. Grinning, I kiss him on the mouth. He kisses me back and I walk back over to the couch and move my laptop to the coffee table. "Juicy." He says and I ask what he's talking about. "Your sweatpants." He replies pointing at them. I look down and sigh because my back of my black sweatpants does indeed say "Juicy". "Yeah, well..." I say, not being able to think of anything else to say. "It is Juicy." Adam comments with a laugh and I just roll my eyes.

"So, what do you want to do?" I ask, as Adam sits down beside me. Adam shrugs and he gets this glint in his eyes. I cock my head to the side and knowing exactly what he's talking about, I roll my eyes. "Anything but that. You just had it a couple days ago, so tell your little friend in your pants to chill." I say curling my body up onto the couch. " Cha! Your just mean, you know that Jane, right?" Adam says. I look over at him and he's trying to use his "puppy eyes" to make me feel guilty. Chuckling I say, "Yes, I know." Adam shrugs my comment off and says "Well, then what do you want to do?" "I don't know." I say, returning to my laptop.

"I'm bored Jane. Suggest something." Adam says, leaning back into the couch cushions. I glance at him and he's smiling at me. I let out a breath and just keeping looking at him. "What?" he asks, his smile widening. "You." I reply and put my computer back on the table.

I lift my hips so that I am sitting in Adam's lap and his mouth is now hanging open and he's just staring at me. I put my hands on the side of his face and press my mouth against his and Adam seems rather surprised by this, because it takes him a moment to kiss me back. I continue to kiss him and Adam puts his hands on my hipbone. He opens his mouth as he kisses me back and I navigate myself inside to flirt with his tongue.

Adam lowers me down onto the couch cushions and lets his fingers ride along the skin between the top of my sweatpants and my belly button. His fingers start to lift the waistband of my sweatpants and I quickly slap at his hand.

Adam pulls away quickly and begins to nurse his wounded hand. I sit up and knowing exactly what he's about to say I say "I told you no sex. It's your own fault sweetie." Adam just looks at me and puts his hand in mine and rolling my eyes I check for "injuries". "I think you'll live Rove." I say as I give him his hand back.

Sighing, I bring my laptop back up onto my lap. I'm use to him acting like this when he thinks he's "injured". Then again, I didn't marry an athlete or a macho man or anything like that. I married a sensitive artist who's no big muscle about stuff. I shake my head as Adam finally let his hand drop from his grip and leans back into the couch cushions. He's not approaching me right now and I don't really blame him for it.

"Okay, seeing that's an obvious no, what do you want to do instead?" Adam asks after a moment. I look back over at him again. "Movie?" I suggest. Adam doesn't respond, he just shrugs. "You know you suck at this, right?" I say and Adam just shrugs again.

Adam doesn't wait for me to suggest something, so he stands up and takes "Tommy Boy" off of the DVD rack. He opens the DVD player and puts it in.

Walking back to the couch, he smiles sweetly at me because he knows that only I love this movie as much as he does. He takes my laptop off of my lap and puts it on the coffee table. I just gaze at him wordlessly as he puts his arm around my shoulders and pulls my torso towards him. He looks at me and starts to laugh at my expression.

"What?" He asks, a smile at his lips. "You. You're just amazing. How do you know me so well?" I ask, as I curl up next to him and rest my head on his shoulder. Adam shrugs and says, "I just do Jane."

A smile is still at his lips and his love for me is shining through so brightly right now and I can't help but keep smiling. Maybe I'm a stupid lovesick idiot, but I don't care. Adam makes me so stupidly happy, that I just don't know what to do with myself.

We continue to sit there on the couch long after the movie is over, enjoying each other's company, the warmth of each other's body and the comfort of it. I don't know quite when I fell asleep in his arms, but there's no safer place in the world to do so, then in Adam's arms.

My shelter and safety from the storm, my comfort and the one place I know that my heart can call home.

The End
