"Hi, Becky."

It had been a few days since they've seen each other and Adam had missed her. Without a doubt he wanted to spend his last few days with her-hell he didn't want to leave.

But there wouldn't be a chance as her husband had just gotten back from his trip as was a few feet from her. They were both at this get together as Becky's friend had invited him since she found interest in the Canadian.

"Hey Adam." She smiled at him as she clearly brightened up when she saw him. They hugged for a brief moment and they both lingered.

Becky looked up at him and found his look to be rather affectionate. Even in the darkness of the club, she could see the way his eyes sparkled and the smile on his lips.

Adam couldn't help but move in closer, using the music as an excuse, and whispered in her ear. "I really missed you. You have no idea how much I've wanted to see you."

The blonde felt goose bumps form on the back of her neck by his hot breath. There was always something about him whispering in her ear that got to her. She wanted to exchange the words but she had that small feeling that they had a deeper meaning than he meant.

She opened her mouth to speak but felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Adam. Becky, can I talk to you?"

Derek pulls her aside and looks back towards Adam who is talking to Isis.

"What is it, babe?" Becky looked at him in slight irritation. She was talking to Adam and felt his controlling ways too much at the moment, as she desired to be around her ex. She knew it was bad but she found herself wanting his attention.

Looking back, Adam was lost in the crowd. She looked back towards her husband who didn't look happy.

"He just keeps looking at you. Like, doesn't he understand you're taken.. And now with this whole thing I hope you guys aren't in the same room."

Their college friend was holding a rather strange set up for the hotels later. The group of people that arrived would be staying at a hotel overnight in their rooms that they had to share with someone else-only twist they didn't know whom they would be in the room with. They found this to be extra fun.

"It's fine. There's 20 of us, there's barely a chance." She kisses his cheek and gives him a smile.

Adam took a few shots on the house from Becky's friend who was holding this get together. He glanced back and says Becky holding hands with her husband, walking into the dancing crowd.

It was so wrong. He shouldn't be feeling this way towards someone who was married, of all things.

But it felt so right.

Every look and every small touch drove him crazy. The way she viewed life and wanted to spend life was the same on his agenda. Derek wasn't making her happy and he knew it.

For Christ's sake, he wouldn't even let her get a job or leave the house all that often.

He was the one for Becky but he had no idea how he would convince her.

It had been a full year without seeing one another and as they hugged now, it didn't even feel foreign. It felt so real and so comforting that neither of them wanted to pull away.

She was in Canada as she was seeing Luke, who had been held back in Degrassi.

A week before coming she had contacted her ex as she wanted to see him. See how he was, how he looked, how life was going… she just wanted to be around him. She had dated someone but the relationship didn't work.

Even if Adam weren't to give her another chance, she would be okay with it as she knew it was time to move on soon enough. She had grew feelings for someone else on campus who she knew she could easily connect with.

"How have you been?" Adam couldn't wipe the smile off his face if he tried. Becky was right in front of him and he had never felt such joy in his heart. They weren't together in any way but the fact that she wanted to see him made him happy.

"I'm good. Life's been good. How are you?" She took in the deepness of his voice, the toughness of his jawline, the way his shoulders had broaden up, and etc. The t-shots were doing him justice.

Adam shrugged and reached out to hold her hand across the table they were sitting at. They had agreed to lunch, nothing else. She would be leaving the next day and knew they shouldn't spend too much time together or their feelings would rekindle.

As he held her hand, there was this sense of emptiness in the pit of his stomach, "I'm fine. You make my day so much better."

"Take your keys, bitches! May you find true love."

Everyone laughed and shook their heads. The ladies had already left to their mysterious rooms and now the guys had their turn.

Adam got key 308 and was headed towards that room but ran into Derek.

"I know what you're up to, man. There's no chance you'll fuck up my relationship."

Derek had approached Adam and was paranoid. He rarely cursed but he knew Adam was competition and that Becky could be interested as she wasn't satisfied at the moment with him.

"Gimme that." He switched the keys with Adam as he felt this was the only way to prevent anything. It was risky but he had to do it for the sake of his sanity.

Adam just let him do as he pleased, as he seemed rather drunk. What a Christian act to do.

Now heading towards 207, he was thinking of how he should pull away. He only had a week left before he had to leave and after, who knows if he would see Becky again.

Opening the door, that thought soon left him as he saw the beautiful blonde sitting on the bed with her legs crossed. She looked nervous as she waited but that changed to joy, as it was Adam.

"Adam!"

"Becky!" He grinned and shut the door. He had the best luck.
