Previously on Four Guys:

" Adrian!" A familiar voice called. His voice was pure love.

" Antonio!?"


I froze in place, my heart stopped beating. I couldn't be him , right?

I shut my window tightly and ran out of my room. I sped down the hallway not caring if I woke up my parents, but only caring about the guy that was standing outside of my window. I ran through the kitchen to the back door. I flung it open and ran amongst the wet grass till I was met with a dark figure. I felt paralyzed as I took in his facial features.

He had a caramel skin tone, just a little bit darker then mine. His build was fragile but he was tall. His hair went to a little bit above his eyes, and I adored the look of it. I could see it was soft and I resisted the urge to run my fingers through it.

I took two steps forward and so did he. All was silent as we took in each other. I got close enough to see his eyes. They were squinted slightly, they were the deep brown that I remembered and his lashes were thick. He batted them and I felt my heart flutter. He flashed a smile and his white teeth were beautiful against his face. His facial features screamed genuine and beautiful and I remembered always knowing this as a child. I always would run to my mom and scream ' Antonio pretty!'

Sure I was about four, but I was still a girl. I knew he was gorgeous.

I bit my lip hesitantly and ran my eyes down his body, from head to toe. Taking him all in. He was wearing tight dark jeans and a white t-shirt that hugged him perfectly. When I reached his eyes I noticed he was doing the same thing as me. We were checking each other out. I looked down and remembered I was only wearing a baggy t-shirt and shorts you couldn't even see. I felt my cheeks burn and then I figured I might as well flaunt it.

I placed a hand on my hip and placed all my weight on one side of my body.

" Adrian Lee." was all he could choke out. His tone made me melt.


There was a comfortable silence as we stood there. The only noises you could hear were the light sirens of the night, and the hose in my backyard drip.

It was if we were having a silent conversation.

I finally couldn't resist anymore. I ran forward and jumped on his, embracing him. I wrapped my legs around his waist and his warm hands held me firmly in place. He twirled me around and I was getting drunk just off the scent of him. The comfort radiating off of him was intoxicating and I could feel his heart beat against my skin. I closed my eyes, taking a mental picture and promising myself that I would always remember this moment.

It wasn't worth forgetting.

I waited for years for this.

Words couldn't even describe how I am feeling at this moment. I felt like we were the only two people left in the world and nothing could change that.

Finally, he let go of me and I placed my feet back on the ground. I adjusted my t-shirt and ran my hands through my hair. He was gazing lovingly into my eyes and so I said all I could think of at that moment.

" I missed you." I murmured. He smiled.

" I missed you immensely." Antonio replied in a whisper.

" I can't believe it," I ran my hands through my hair again, " how have you been?"

" A lot better, how about you Adrian." he asked in his deep voice that I already loved.

" I've been fine Antonio." I smiled while speaking.

We looked around for a minute till I spoke.

" How did you find me here?" I asked out of pure curiosity. I was wondering how he would know I lived here and not in the condo still.

" Well, I went to the condo and asked the attendant outside. He said that you had moved and I had lost all hope till he said he hand a phone book. I looked for your last name and found your new address." he simply stated. I just nodded.

I didn't want to stand in my back yard so I said the first thing that came to mind.

" You want to drive somewhere?" I blurted out, not even thinking about the consequences or my parents in the house.

" Definitely." his spoke softly. His voice was deeper then I remembered but then again, we were fifteen last time we saw each other.

We walked to his car that was sitting in my drive way and I cocked an eye-brow.

" When you are dieing… people feel bad." he whispered. I cocked an eyebrow.

" You aren't dieing though." I corrected him.

" I was." he sighed heavily and I felt a pain in my chest.

" I'm sorry." I spoke low enough only he could hear me.

" Don't be." he retorted instantly.

He walked to the passenger side and opened the door for me. I looked down at my appearance and he just smiled.

" Shouldn't I get shoes?" I asked. He shook his head.

I just rolled my eyes and hopped inside. He shut the door for me and he walked over to his side of the car. He opened his door and climbed inside. He started the car and pulled out of my drive way.

It all felt so surreal. Around this time about 4 years ago, I was sobbing my bed about how he left me. Now I was driving somewhere with him in the middle of the night.

We drove in a familiar direction and I turned to look at him.

" Where were you living?" I asked to fill the question that had been in my head since I was fifteen.

" A city in Texas, there was a huge cancer treatment center there and we had a bit of family there. Distant of course but still family." he spoke while still driving, eyes still on the road.

We were driving down the road I had always drove down many times. He turned and pulled into our old condo parking lot. I looked at him and he smirked at me. I pulled into the spot that I remembered his parents always parked in and he stopped the car. He sighed heavily.

" Brings back memories." he closed his eyes and turned his head to me. He opened them and starred deep into my eyes.

" By far the best ones of my life." I whispered and he smiled.

" Remember the times that we would play in the parking lot?" he laughed.

" Oh yes, we would stay out here for hours sometimes. Drawing pictures with chock and jumping rope." I reminisced.

" Yeah, but I sucked." he groaned. I smirked.

" Or remember the time that our parents left us alone for the first time? God, we terrorised the condo." I laughed at my childhood memories.

" Condo's." he corrected, " I was cleaning for days, grounded for weeks." he chuckled.

" So was I!" I retorted.

" Yet we still snuck out to see each other." Antonio spoke in a romantic voice, and he batted his eyelashes. Butterflies invaded my stomach.

" Our first kiss." I spoke softly and leaned in a little bit.

" Each others first love." he murmured.

" Each others first everything." I stressed the last word.

" I'm glad." he leaned back and sat against his seat.

A silence filled the air, yet it was comfortable. I didn't mind at all because I was with the one person I missed for years.

I missed him truly, but he has to realize that I still moved on.

Because I see he didn't.

I gazed over to the picture in his car. We were about 4 and we were covered head to toe in mud. We were holding hands and we had huge smiled spread across our faces. Our white teeth were up against the dark mud and we looked extremely happy.

Those were the days.

…………

Antonio had driven me home and said he would stop by tomorrow afternoon. I agreed and snuck inside only to be greeted by my parents.

" Care to explain where you were?" my dad questioned.

" With Antonio." I smiled widely, my mom's face dropped and my dad tilted his head in confusion.

I smiled and turned to go upstairs in my bed. I jogged up the stairs, and walked into my room. I gazed briefly at the clock.

1:14 am.

It didn't exactly matter to me because I stayed up this late in University cramming for tests. I crawled into bed and pulled the blankets over my cold body.

I slowly fell into unconsciousness, thinking about the night with Antonio.

Yet somehow, every thought was interrupted by the reminder of the other guys.


Ring! Ring! Ring!

I was harshly awoken to my phone ringing beside me and I fluttered my eyes. I lifted my stiff body up and opened it.

" Hello?" my voice was cracking.

" Adrian?" Ricky answered on the other line. I woke up instantly and sat up straight.

" Oh hey!" I tried to sound more awake. I rubbed my eye waiting for his response.

" I was thinking, maybe you wanted to go out for supper with me tonight?" Ricky hesitantly asked.

" Is that your way of asking for sex?" I questioned out of habit.

" No Adrian, my life has changed since high school. I just wanted to ask for a friendly get together." he responded.

" Sure, why not."

I can't believe I always do this to myself.

I always do stuff without thinking.

Today, I received flowers.

With no card, no name.

So how was I to know which guy it was trying to court me this time? I went over every guy in my head but it seemed possible that they all did it. Well, maybe not Ricky.

I picked up my phone and dialled Ben's number. It rang four times till he finally picked up.

" Hello?" asked Ben on the other line.

" Hey Ben." I said as cheerfully as I could.

" Oh hey Adrian! What's up?" his voice automatically became happier.

" Just enjoying the summer day. Picking up some flowers." I hinted.

" You don't say." Ben just sounded sarcastic.

Does the sausage prince know how to take a hint?

" You know, my parents were thinking of throwing me a surprise welcome home party, but I figured it out. I don't like surprises or mysteries." I hinted even more.

" Okay?" he sounded confused.

What the hell does it take for him to fess up? This was obviously his doing.

" Ben , did you send me flowers?" I blurted out.

" Noooo?" he said weirdly.

Awkward.

……..

I dialled Max's phone number quickly.

" Max, did you send me flowers?" I asked first thing.

" No." he sounded like he just woke up. " Adrian?" he questioned.

" Oh sorry, wrong number." I hung up in a hurry and shrugged.

This whole having four guys that all are technically dating you at the same time, not working out for me.

…..

Okay, so I found out that it wasn't any of the guys but it was my mom. She said the people forgot to put her name on the card.

Wow.

….

Antonio had cancelled saying that he was busy with family, and he wasn't feeling the greatest. His parents get worried over the slightest stuffy nose and frankly, I don't blame them. I decided that I would just go out for coffee and maybe see a movie? That sounded good.

I got dressed in a pair of white jeans and a orange shirt that hugged my stomach but was loose at the top. It fell down my shoulders and revealed my bra straps. I smiled with satisfaction. I got on a pair of orange flats and went downstairs. I grabbed my keys and headed out the door.

I drove through town and finally made it to the small coffee shop that I used to go to frequently. I parked my car and jumped out, making my way inside. I walked in and the smell of warm coffee and donuts flooded the room. My stomach growled and I laughed at myself. I took a seat and a waitress came over to me.

" May I get you anything?" he held her pen, and pad of paper. Her fake blonde hair covered her eyes and her copper tan ruined her face.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had a date with Ricky tonight. In the midst of remembering that, I received a text from Max. I looked briefly at my phone when the waitress turned to the window. I turned around too and saw Ben, waving to me.

" No, you can't get anything for me, I have enough on my plate." I spoke, every thought darting back to them.

Max.

Antonio.

Ben.

Ricky.

Oh god, take me now!


Like it? I found this chapter hard to write and I re-started over and over again. Not my best chapter but it's a filler of a sort and just kicking off her and Antonio's relationship in this story. REVIEW ;)
