The morning after was something she forgot of the night before.
As right as the passionate moment she had with Adam felt, she knew she shouldn't have done it. She was married and committed to Derek but all that was out the window.
Becky sat up and covered her chest and watched the sleeping form beside her. Adam's hair was all over the place and the love bites on his neck were visible. What would they tell her friends? What would she tell her husband?
She shook him awake knowing they had to take about their actions and the consequences to come. After their lovemaking, they had fallen asleep. Now it was time to discuss what they would do.
Adam rubbed his eyes as he took in his surroundings. Becky was already up, putting on the pajamas from the night before and he couldn't help but smile as everything from last night ran through his mind.
"Adam." Becky found him smiling and her heart sank as she was on the brink of tears from realizing what she's done. "Don't. We need to figure this out."
"Figure what out? You love me and I love you. It's simple." He was positive they were meant to be together even if she was already with another man.
The blonde sighed in frustration and shook her head, "It's not that simple. I've been with him for so long, I can't just leave him."
He stood up after putting on his boxers and approached her. "Hey, it's okay." He embraced her with wrapping his arms around her neck and pulling her close, knowing the sanity was at the brink of breaking.
She found comfort in his warm embrace and wrapped her own arms around his middle. "How is this okay?"
"Because it's just a rough patch you'll climb over." Adam paused as she moved away, "you decide what you want, baby. I want you happy and if Derek brings you that then stay with him. If I will bring you that happiness, come with me."
"I don't want to tell him alone."
"Then I'll go with you. We'll tell him together or I'll tell him with you there. Whatever you want, Becky."
She sighed and leaned into him once more. Whatever decision she had to make would come after-first she had to tell her husband.
::
"You slept with her didn't you?"
Adam and Becky were sitting in the living room couch of her home. As soon as Becky told Derek that Adam was coming over, he was skeptical. Becky wouldn't tell him whom she had roomed with and there were many red flags as she was a terrible liar.
"Yes, I did." Adam stood up as Derek had.
The Canadian held his ground as he stood protectively near Becky, as he didn't trust her husband. Both men looked at one another, as Derek grew more furious.
"What the hell? How could you do this to me, Becky?" Now his eyes were towards Becky as she sat there in cowardice. She felt so guilty and was already crying. Never had she thought she would commit infidelity in a marriage. "Huh? Speak the fuck up!"
Derek's anger was showing through his surface and that's was Becky was afraid of. Adam took no time to move even closer to her. "Don't speak to her like that. Show her some respect." His voice remained calm.
"Don't tell me how to act towards my wife!" He stepped closer towards Adam without hesitance. They stood at the same height and weren't breaking eye contact.
"Maybe if you treated her right she wouldn't have come to me."
Becky quickly stepped in as she noticed those words would cause Derek to shone violence.
"Adam, you aren't helping." Becky's back was towards her husbands as she spoke to Adam. "Can you give us privacy?"
::
"You ruined us, Becky!"
Derek was shouting as Becky took the verbal hits. "Just because you wanted to sleep with your ex? What do I not satisfy you enough?"
Her lips were sealed, as she didn't want to admit that he didn't. She had never felt such pleasure as she had last night.
His brown eyes calmed and he sighed, "I can't believe this. We were okay before he-"
"No we weren't!" Becky cut him off, knowing it was something he wouldn't appreciate, "I am speaking up and we were not okay. I hate being stuck in this house following your rules. I hate the way we have sex. I hate the way you treat me like a housemaid. I hate the way you treat me like garbage!"
She was crying again and moving her arms all over the place, "You think you treat me well but you don't."
Derek furrowed his brows as she had never expressed this before and felt like Adam was to blame, "He's putting these thoughts into your head, Becky."
"Can you hear yourself right now?!" Becky was already moving away and heading to the door.
"Don't you think about walking out!"
He followed her out the door where she approached Adam leaning against the door of another apartment.
"Becky..." Adam openly embraced her as she went right to his arms in search of the comfort her husband never gave her.
She didn't deserve this and he knew it.
"Let go of my wife, asshole."
"No, you listen here." Adam gently let Becky free from his arms before approaching Derek. "You say you're this amazing, loving husband with great moral views but you treat this wonderful women as nothing but a prize. You've probably done it since you've met her and she allowed you to but she's sick of it."
"I don't care if she doesn't want to be with me. I want her happy and that's where we're different. You care about your happiness not hers. I would give her my life and you wouldn't give her the time of day."
Derek was right about to punch him but Adam quickly grabbed his fist, "Don't touch me or her."
Becky looked at Adam with a small smile and her decision was made right there and then. As soon as he was close enough, she planted a kiss on his lips. He was surprised but smiled once he pulled away.
::
"Last night was no mistake. It was fucking destiny!" Adam claimed out loud as they arrived to his hotel room.
"Adam, calm down." Becky raised a brow but smiled as he just looked at her with no shame. "Thank you for defending me."
"No problem. No problem at all." He paused as he watched her sit on the hotel bed. She seemed so dazed at the moment, "What are you going to do?"
The kiss she displayed in front of her husband made it seem like she were choosing him but Adam wasn't sure. She could have been using him just to piss off her husband, which he didn't mind.
Becky's blue eyes looked lost as she looked into his. "I like you, a lot, but I can't just get up and leave with you... Or maybe what happened between us is just a hurdle in the relationship that him and I can get through?"
These words stung as it made it feel like he was a mistake to her.
"Becks, I leave in a few days."
"I know."
::
"There's a plane ticket for you if you change your mind."
Adam tried his best to keep his voice strong as he was saying goodbye to Becky, maybe for good. He couldn't help but think of the last time they were in this situation. Their final goodbyes then led them to almost three years of radio silence.
"This experience was so worth it. I came here for a band and I ran into you." He kept space between them, as he knew physical contact wouldn't help. She had come to decide to try to fix her relationship with Derek, which Adam thought was hopeless. Nonetheless, he would support her. "I love you, Becky. I just hope you're happy."
Becky couldn't meet his gaze as she felt this wasn't the right decision. Derek had called and pleaded for her to come back home-she forgave him and agreed to, as she always did. Adam wasn't happy with it but he didn't let it show.
They embraced and Becky found herself clinging to him for so long.
::
"Derek, why are you doing this?"
She had barely spoken a single word before her husband planted a kiss on her. He then pushed further and was trying to initiate something physical but she wasn't feeling it.
"Because you made it obvious he was better in bed."
Her eyes narrowed, wondering why he was making it some sort of competition. "He was better because he focused on me! Which you aren't doing!"
He groaned and rubbed his head. "Can you make me dinner at least?"
Becky gave him a look, "What? You cheated. You should make it up to me."
::
Sitting in the plane, it hit him how much he didn't want to leave Becky behind.
Becky was the love of his life but he made a mistake letting her go after high school. He would be the one married to her now if he hadn't been so stupid. He resented it so much.
He had never felt so strongly about a girl before and probably never will.
Putting on his headphones, he began to embrace his sadness with sad tunes. There was a motion beside him as someone sat beside him but he didn't bother to look up.
Barely a few seconds later, he felt familiar lips on his cheek.
His eyes went wide but he had the biggest grin, "Becky?!" He pulled out his headphones and she gave him a big nod.
"Come here." She whispered before reeling him in for a sweet kiss on his lips.
There was no question that this was right.
They were right.
"You made a crazy move coming with me. What if you don't like Boston?"
Adam pulled her in close once they landed at their changing flight.
Becky smirked and wrapped her arms around his neck, "I know. I want some adventure."
"I want adventure. I want fun. I want comfort and coziness. I want deep love making." She began to whisper against his lips and continued, "And I want rough sex. I want the cuddles and the munchies. I want love. I want all that and I know you'll give it to me."
"Without a doubt." They kissed with a smile on their faces.
It was last minute for her to come with him. Yesterday's incident made her realize Derek was selfish and only saw her as a prize, like Adam had stated. Lying in bed next to him for a few hours made her realize how she would never be fulfilled with Derek as her life partner.
Heck, the night she spent with Adam was more fulfilling than the four years she spent with Derek.
She also had to take consideration of her leaving, as she didn't know Adam's life in Boston or the city itself. But she felt like she could handle it. She had only spent two weeks with Adam and knew he would be different than the boy in high school but she was excited and doubtful she wouldn't be pleased.
Now they sat side by side as they waited for their gate. He draped his arm around her shoulder and couldn't stop staring at her.
