Sydneys POV

We walked in silence the next couple of minutes.

His hand in mine felt warm and soft and somehow I felt like it was supposed to be there.

"So you saw me dancing after all" I said still concentrating on my feet.

He chuckled "Told you" he said.

I giggled "Well, I guess alcohol and me don´t go well together" I said.

"I know I should agree with you, but dancing with you was pretty amazing" he said with a grin.

I blushed, remembering his hand on my hips.

"Can I tell you a secret?" I asked.

"Sure" he said.

"Normally I don´t drink...Like ever" I said giggling.


Adriand POV

I noticed her words were coming out a little inscrutable.

"Yea, I thought so" I said.

I watched her looking at her feet while we were walking through the abandoned neighborhood.

Somehow it was cute seeing her like this and I was glad I had decided to stay away from liquor tonight.

Suddenly she stalled.

"So here we are" she said pointing at the building right in front of us.

I looked up.

"Which floor is your flat?" I asked.

I somehow doubted, that she would manage to get higher than first floor by herself.

"Forth" she said.

I nodded and smiled at her "Ok than, let´s keep moving" I said.

She looked at me curiously.

"Are you coming with me?" she asked looking at me.


Sydneys POV

I got nervous. What did he expect now?

Than he chuckled.

"Sydney, there are a bunch of steps and I would feel much better, if I would accompany you, so that I can make sure, you really get to your flat" he said.

I blushed. Of course he was just being nice. What had I been thinking.

"Ok" I said searching for my keys in my bag, which was kind of difficult with only one hand.

With a sigh I let go of his hand and soon found my keys.

Somehow they all looked the same.

"Let me help you" he said extending his hand at me.

"I can do that" I said more confident than I was feeling.

"Ok" he said putting his hands back in his pockets.

I noticed him watching me with an amused look.

After what felt like forever I found the right key and managed to open the door.

We stepped inside and once again, he took my hand helping me climb the steps.


Adrians POV

We arrived at her doorstep and she once again was challenged by her bunch of keys.

When she finally opened the door she turned around to look at me.

"You know, you can stay if you like to" she said.

I chuckled and gave her a crooked smile.

"On the coach of course" she added blushing.

Maybe I should stay. Just to make sure she was going to be ok.

Well that was at least what I was telling myself. Of course I did want to stay to have an eye on her but I also didn´t want to leave her in general.

"Don´t worry Sage, I will keep my hands by myself" I said with a small laugh.

She giggled once again and opened the door completely.

I stepped inside and looked around.

I had been curious how her flat would look like.

It was pretty small, but nice. Her scent surrounded me and I wasn´t surprised to see, that everything was pretty neat.


Sydneys POV

"Let me just get you a blanket" I said closing the door behind him.

He nodded and walked the few steps to my coach to sit down.

I walked into my bedroom and opened a closet to pull out a blanket. On my way, I also took a pillow from my bed for him.

Before I got back to my living room, I took a couple of deep breaths. My head was still feeling kind of foggy. Never again, would I be drinking I promised myself.

I walked back into the living room and handed him the blanket and the pillow.

"Do you need anything else?" I asked.

"No, I´m good" he said smiling at me.

I sat down next to him.

"Promise me something?" I asked looking at him.

"Anything" he said.

"Never let me drink again" I said.

He chuckled "I promise" he said.

I looked down at my hands unsure if I should hug him goodnight or just leave.

"You should better sleep now" he than said.

"Ok" I said, somehow disappointed.

I looked up at him and our eyes met. He still looked gorgeous. I once again got lost in the perfect deep emerald color his eyes had and I felt the urge to brush through his thick dark hair.

I moved a little closer and watched him carefully.

I really wanted to kiss him.

I shifted even closer to his face.

"Sydney" he said in a low voice.

"Hm?" I responded.

"Don´t get me wrong, as much as I want to do this, I´m not going to take advantage of this situation" he said.

"What situation?" I asked confused.

He took my hand "You being drunk" he said.

I moved away feeling rejected.

"Hey" he said lifting my chin with his index finger.

I looked at him.

"If you still want to kiss me tomorrow, I´m all in" he said and I blushed.

I nodded and he gave me a smile, which made my heart jump.

"Ok" I agreed.

I was 100% sure I still wanted to kiss him by tomorrow.

"Ok. Now sleep" he ordered me.

I chuckled "Ok fine, I´ll go" I said getting up "Good night Adrian" I said.

"Good night Sydney" He said looking at me.

I walked into my bathroom to wash my face and put on my pajamas.

When I once again walked through the living room he was already under the blanket I´d given him.

"Good night" I said once again.

"Sweet dreams" he said and I switched off the lights and went into my bedroom.

I was sure I was going to have a hard time falling asleep with him being just in the other room, but as soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep immediately.
