I walked into Adam's dressing room to find him changed and packing his bag to leave. I slammed the door shut behind me to gain his attention, I must have slammed it louder than I anticipated because Adam near enough jumped out of his skin at the sound.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" He spoke sharply as he put a hand over his heart.

"You left" I retorted folding my arms across my chest.

"Uhh…Yeah" he said turning to face me.

"Why?" I huffed tapping my foot impatiently.

"I thought maybe you'd want some time with Stu" he told me throwing his bag over his shoulder.

"You walked off without saying anything" I argued not fully convinced with his argument. He sat down on one of the benches and put his head in his hands. "What's wrong?" I asked sitting next to him resting a hand on his back.

"You looked great" he said changing the subject after a minute or so of silence, I tilted my head in confusion and took the change of subject as a sign that he wasn't ready to talk about whatever was bothering him.

"Ok, let's go" I said grabbing my stuff.

We entered reception, Adam hadn't spoken much on the car ride back to the hotel, I had tried several times to get conversation and despite him trying to respond he was clearly distracted by something eventually I had given up and just sat silently texting Stu letting him know I had left the arena. We entered the lift together still in complete silence.

"See you tomorrow" I said as the doors opened on my floor.

"Yeah" he muttered as I exited the lift.

I threw myself on to the bed and let out a huge sigh completely fed up and frustrated with the fact that there was clearly something wrong with Adam, but he wasn't willing to admit it or talk about it with me.

What are you doing tonight?
Stu x

Nothing
Jayme x

Good, come to room 438,
Wear something comfortable
Stu x

I laughed and rummaged my suitcase for something comfortable to wear, I spent what felt like a lifetime looking, tracksuit bottoms? No, Leggings? No, I found at the bottom of the case a pair of plain black cycling shorts and a grey oversized t-shirt, I threw my hair in to two French braids and made my way up to room 438.

"Hey" He smiled letting me in "Christ, you look hot" he laughed scratching the back of his neck. I walked into the room trying to hide the blush on my cheeks. "I was thinking that we could spend some time watching a few films and getting to know each other better" He informed me guiding me to a sofa that he had moved to face the TV. In front of the sofa was a small coffee table that he had placed a number of beers on and a bottle of wine in a cooler, two small candles were also placed on the table. There was also a pile of different snacks to, crisps, popcorn, chocolate and sweets. I let out a small laugh at the effort he had gone to.

"This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me" I said putting a hand over my mouth in pure shock.

"I wanted you to know just how much I like you" he told me holding my hand.

"Thank you" I smiled leaning up to kiss him on the cheek, but he moved his head at the last second so that our lips connected, I pulled away slightly with a smile and we looked in each other's eyes for a second. "What are we watching then?" I asked throwing myself on to the sofa.

"I was hoping you would choose" Stu replied getting comfortable next to me.

"Nope" I shook my head "You choose, let's watch your favourite TV show" I smiled shifting on my side and leaning into Stu who wrapped his arm around me.

"I hope you like this" he chuckled switching on an old British TV comedy I remembered my parents watching. We sat laughing and holding hands for a couple of hours only stopping to put a new episode on and eat the snacks Stu had bought. Our fingers were intertwined as we sat watching the TV together Stu's thumb gently rubbed my knuckles. "Your turn" He whispered into my ear after we had watched a few episodes "What's your favourite?" He asked quietly, his lips so close to my ear I could almost feel them gently brushing my skin as he spoke sending shivers down my spine, I took a breath to pull myself together and grabbed the remote to put another old TV show from England that I had watched as child.

"I used to watch this one with my nan when I was a kid" I said leaning back into his torso, we watched silently for a moment as I struggled to concentrate with the feel of his rock-hard abs moving against my back as he was breathing. With his hand that wasn't holding mine he rested his hand on my hip, I took in a sharp breath and slowly moved my head without breaking my gaze from the TV trying not to draw attention to the fact I was lost in his touch and paying little to no attention to what was on the TV.

"You ok?" He whispered, I nodded slowly in response "Good" he responded kissing my neck gently, I closed my eyes completely lost in the sensation as he turned me around, so I was straddling his hips. I dipped my head and brought my lips to his, he ran his hands up my shirt letting his fingertips gently trail my sides as he did, both of us began deepening the kiss and tugging at each other's shirts. Stu's hands moved from my t-shirt and ran up and down my thighs as I felt his erection pressing against me. He lifted me and placed on my back on to the bed, the kiss became hungrier as he hovered above me. After a few minutes I managed to find my resolve and pull away, gently pushing him off. "What's wrong?" He asked standing up with me.

"I can't Stu" I told him "I'm not…" I stammered.

"Hey…hey…" He smiled brushing hair from my face "just being with you is enough" he told me planting a kiss on my lips earning a small smile from me.

"I should get back to my room" I told him. We said our goodbyes and I left walking back down to my room, as I exited the lift I found an unconscious Adam sat at my door "Jesus Christ Adam" I sighed shaking my head walking over to him "Adam…" I said shaking his shoulders trying to wake him. I stood for a moment with my hands on my hips sizing up the task in front of me, how was I going to get him from outside the door to inside the room. Picking up my phone I quickly snapped a picture of the almost comatose Adam and sent it to Isabelle.

The shit I put up with
Jayme x

I then rang the only person I knew who could help me in this situation.

"I need your help" I sighed as they answered.

Is he drunk?
Isabelle x

Yep
Jayme x

A few minutes later Stu exited the lift to find me trying to lift Adam out of the way so I could at least open the door without him falling into the room stopping me closing the door. I tucked my hands under his arms and tried to drag him, but it was no use, he was a dead weight.

"Shit what happened?" He asked helping me lift him as I unlocked the room door.

"I don't know I just found him like this" I told him as we threw Adam on to the bed.

"I'll stay with you" Stu said to me as we both stood watching Adam snoring away.

"No Stu don't worry" I said placing a hand on his bicep, I swallowed hard.

"Is everything ok?" Stu asked concerned.

"Of course," I smiled up at him.

"I hope what happened between us hasn't made you uncomfortable" he admitted taking my hand in his.

"Stu" I sighed "I haven't slept with anyone since my ex-husband, and I don't want to just jump in to bed with anyone else" I explained kissing his cheek.

"I would never expect you to" he told me.

"I appreciate the fact you're not putting any pressure on me" I admitted, I looked up at him butterflies in my stomach as the man stood in front of me made me feel so comfortable. I had only ever slept with Gavin in my life, and I wasn't ready to sleep with Stu yet.

"As long I've not upset you" he smiled.

"I'm only going to go to sleep anyway" I told him. Reluctantly Stu agreed to leave, he placed a firm kiss upon my lips before leaving. I shut the door behind Stu and walked back into the room taking a seat on the sofa and putting the TV on. After about half an hour I heard Adam beginning to stir.

"Jay" He mumbled sleepily as he came around "Jay" he said again.

"What's wrong?" I said climbing on to the bed next to him, his eyes flickered open, and he drunkenly looked up at me trying to focus his gaze and make sure it was me.

"Jay…" he mumbled again this time a small smile spreading across his mouth as he sees me.

"I'm here" I assured him as he reached out for me grabbing my hand tightly.

"I'm sorry" he whispered pulling me to lay with him.

"What for?" I whispered in response.

"Hurting you" he admitted.

"You haven't hurt me Adam" I told him "What happened tonight?" I asked.

"I have…I kissed you and…" he trailed off falling back to sleep, he came back round seconds later his eyes slowly opening again.

"I had to leave…" he mumbled, I lay next to him watching his eyes slowly open and close as he concentrated on what he had to say "you drive me crazy" he added with a hiccup "your ring gear" he placed a hand on my side where my t-shirt and ridden up. "Love…" he slurred, I looked at him in confusion "love…you" he managed to slur before falling back into a state of unconsciousness.

"What did you drink?" I whispered getting under the covers and wrapping an arm around a now snoring Adam.

"What the fuck" Adam groaned sitting up rubbing his forehead.

"I had the same thought process finding you sat outside the door last night" I told him getting out of bed and going to the bathroom.

"Shit I'm really sorry Jay" he said rubbing his face trying to wake up.

"What the fuck did you drink?" I asked.

"Whiskey" he sighed looking over at me "What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know Adam, I came back from spending the evening with Stu and found you asleep outside my door" I explained "I don't suppose you have any idea how you ended up there"

"The last thing I remember is getting back to my room and watching a film, I thought I'd have a couple of drinks to chill out…" he trailed of "then I was at your door banging trying to get your attention, but you must have been with Stu so I thought I'd wait" he told me scratching his chin.

"Idiot" I sighed slapping his shoulder playfully letting out a small laugh grabbing some gym clothes and entering the bathroom to get ready. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, pulled on my black gym leggings and a gym purple gym top and exited the bathroom to find Adam sat on the edge of the bed with his head bowed, hands resting on his neck. "Is your neck hurting?" I asked.

"No" He chuckled looking up at me "Need company at the gym?" he asked.

"Only if you tell me what's going on?" I snapped "we're best friends which means you can tell me anything, what was last night about?" I asked completely fed up with his behaviour.

"Jay, I'm sorry it's just a lot coming back here after so long I guess I just let it get to me"

"No Adam that's bullshit" I shook my head in disbelief "I know you and that's not what's bothering you" I told him, he let out a small laugh.

"Ok" he sighed looking at me "seeing Beth was harder than I expected" a pang of jealousy hit me like a knife to the gut as I plastered a small sympathetic smile on my face.

"You should speak to her" I advised him placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Let's go to the gym" he said standing up and leaving the room to go and get changed. I watched him leave without saying another word on the subject, there was something he wasn't telling me despite his admittance about Beth it felt like he was still holding something back, I knew him well enough to know when he was lying to me.
