Sydneys POV
10 minutes later Adrian was on the phone with Miss Terwilliger and a few minutes later he handed me the phone and I slowly took it.
"Hello?" My stomach was in a nervous knot now.
"Sydney" Jacky said in a relieved voice "You´re okay?" she asked.
"Yes I´m.." I was cut short.
"Good, very good. Now listen. There are some thing we need to talk about" she went on.
Adrian was looking at me curiously.
"Okay" I said unsure taking a deep beath.
"Now, you remember the time we... well no, you obviously don´t" she chuckled and I frowned.
"Never mind" she went on "The most important thing you need to remember is, that you can do that"
I slowly nodded, unsure if I could even do that.
The fact that everybody seemed so sure about that put so much pressure on me.
Adrian took my hand and nodded "you can do this" he mouthed at me.
I gave him a small smile.
Adrians POV
I had been watching Sydney on the phone for a while now, when she suddenly frowned.
"I need to do what?" Sydney exclaimed.
There was a small silence on Sydneys part.
"Where would I even get..." Sydney nodded "Okay... but..."
It was agonizing not to know what they were talking about.
"Excuse me?" Sydney suddenly exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Why would you even ask me that?" she asked blushing.
More silence.
"Ehm... well... no, I guess... not" Sydney said avoiding my eyes, even covering hers in discomfort.
What were they talking about?
"You tell me how I could forget about that. I thought that´s what we were trying to find out" Sydney said heated.
More silence.
"Yes, I´m sorry, too" she than said "Yes, I know".
I watched Sydney nod every once in a while and than she said
"Okay got it".
There was another silence.
"Yes. I will but I really don´t know if I can do that" Sydney said.
I squeezed her hand, knowing, that she definitely could do it, even though I had no clue what they were taking about.
Sydney sighed and nodded once again "Okay" she said still unsure.
"Bye and Miss Terwilliger, thank you" Sydney said before she disconnected.
"What was that all about?" I asked when she handed me the phone.
Sydney blushed again.
"What?" she asked knowing exactly what I was taking about.
"Tell me" I went on still trying to catch her gaze.
She sighed, still avoiding my eyes "She was asking... she wanted to know if... if I was still a virgin".
"Oh..." I said.
Sydney was watching me now cautious.
"I´m not, right?" she asked "I mean I don´t remember, but... Am I?" she went on blushing again.
"Well on some kind of lever you are" I said.
"Adrian" she said catching my gaze.
"Well... no, you´re not" I finally said, somehow feeling guilty.
She nodded "I thought so".
I felt her getting uncomfortable and took her face into my palms.
"I´m sorry" I said.
"It´s not your fault" she whispered.
We stayed quiet for a while "I´m sorry I don´t remember" she went on and I chuckled.
"You will" I said "And we´ll make new memories" I went on.
She laughed at that "Are we now" she asked putting her arms around my neck smirking at me.
"We most definitely will" I said before I kissed her.
Sydneys POV
"Why did she even ask you that?" he asked after a while.
"There are some spells that are easier if you are" I said.
"What kind of spells?" he asked brushing back my hair.
"Defending spells" I said feeling odd by saying the word spell.
"She told me to practice. Especially with fire. Something I apparently am … well was pretty good at. And she also instructed me to do an invisibility spell" I said.
He nodded "Are you okay with all of that?" Adrian asked.
I shrugged my shoulders "Do I have a choice?" I asked.
"What if we really get caught? If I am really able to defend myself and... us, I need to do that" I said.
He nodded once again "You know, I´m not completely helpless myself" Adrian said "I can do a lot of things with spirit, too" he went on.
"What kind of things?" I asked.
"Compulsion..." he said caressing my cheek "Creating illusions" he went on kissing it and I once again felt myself melting under his touch.
Even telling me what he was able to do, although it kind of frightened me, was utterly hot.
"Telekinesis" he went on nibbling on my ear.
"And I´ve thrown a punch or two" he went on and I chuckled.
"Is it bad, that I find this... hot?" I asked looking at him.
He smirked at me "No" he said "Because it is" he went on and I rolled my eyes.
"As hot as you are doing magic" he whispered in my ear.
I shivered under the warm feeling of his breath against me.
"What do you like about it?" I asked my head tilting back a bit to give him better access.
I felt his smile on my neck before he kept on kissing it.
"The better question is what´s not" he said, his grip on me getting stronger, making my insides tingly.
"It´s like watching a goddess... strong and vibrant" he teased me, kissing up my jawline.
"And that´s what you are to me. Perfection on every level" he went on.
My own grip on him became stronger, too. I needed to hold on to him, completely overwhelmed by the feeling in my stomach I got when he was talking about me this way.
His scent was in my nose, his lips on my now heated skin and his hands slowly wandered under my top, sending electrical shocks through my whole body.
"I love you" I whispered lost in his arms.
He stopped and half a second later I realized what I´d just said.
"Do you really feel this way" he asked cupping my face, his own only inches away, a desperate look in his eyes.
I felt my heart in my mouth.
"Do you?" he asked again "Or is it just your hormones talking".
His eyes on me where so intense, that it took me a moment to find my voice, even though I didn´t have to think about it.
"Yes" I breathed "I love you"
He rewarded me with a smile that spread over his whole face, shaking his head looking right into my soul.
"I love you" he said before his lips came crushing down on mine.
"God, I love you" he whispered between two kisses and my heart swell up.
He´d told me before, back in New York what felt like a lifetime ago, but never had said it again since then.
But hearing him say those three little words now, was completely different. Overwhelming, glorious, warming me up from inside, making me more happy than I had ever thought I would or even could be.
