Adam knocked loudly on Allison's hotel room door. There was no answer. Adam knocked harder. Still no answer.
"Allie!" Adam whispered as loudly as he could without waking everyone up. "Allie!" He said louder this time. Adam heard a crash, a thud and then a "Crap, ow!" Adam let out a chuckle. Allie must have been sleeping. The door opened in front of Adam, revealing an exhausted looking Allison.
"Yes Adam?" Allison asked, sounding very annoyed. Adam burst out in uncontrollable laughter. Allison's flaming red hair resembled an afro more than a beautiful head of hair. Allison blushed fiercely.
"Shut up!" Allison hissed, "I just fell asleep! What do you want?" Adam clutched the doorframe as the laughter subsided.
"Okay" he breathed, "Um, can I stay with you tonight?" A puzzled look crossed Allison's tired face.
"Sure?" she responded sounding totally confused. Allison moved back to allow Adam in. Adam examined her room. There was a huge king size bed, a small couch, a small T.V, and a door leading to the bathroom on the right.
"I'll take the couch" Adam offered moving towards the tiny couch. Allie snorted,
"Yeah right. The 6'1 man is going to take the 4 foot long couch. I don't think so. Come on we can share a bed! It's not like we haven't before! Anyway you're gay!" Adam chuckled, "Really Allie? Thanks for the newsflash! Its not that I mind sharing a bed, I just feel bad barging in here and taking over my bed. I tend to hog the blankets!" Allie giggled, "Yes I know. I really don't mind. I'm small I don't even take up a whole twin bed!" Adam sighed,
"Okay Allie. I'm gonna go get changed, see you in a sec" Adam walked over to the bathroom. Once Adam was in the bathroom he realized he had a small predicament. He didn't bring anything to sleep in. With Kris, he usually just slept in boxers, but he felt weird doing that with Allie, especially while they were sharing a bed. Adam looked around the bathroom. He noticed one of Allie's suitcases in the corner. He opened it up and saw a black t-shirt on the top.
"Perfect" he thought a pulled the t-shirt out. Allie wouldn't mind if he borrowed a shirt. Adam looked at the shirt. It had a picture of the main characters from Wicked and had a banner across the back saying Wicked – Cast and Crew. Adam let out a chuckle. He thought he had lost that shirt in the mansion! Adam slipped it over his head, took off his pants leaving only his boxers and went back into the main room. Adam stood at the bathroom doorway looking at Allie with a bemused look on his face. Allie looked over and giggled.
"Oops, I guess you found that!" Adam nodded walking over to the bed.
"Well at the mansion one day I didn't have a shirt so I went into your room and looked for one and sorta borrowed that one," Allie explained, "And I was gonna give it back, but it was really comfortable and I figured you wouldn't miss it!" Adam laughed and plopped onto Allison's bed. Adam spread out his arms as a welcome for Allison. Allison walked over and curled up on Adam's arms with her head leaning on his chest.
"So" Allison said, "Are you gonna tell me why you're staying in my room tonight?" Adam sighed and said "Well, um…Kris got sick, a bug or something, and I didn't want to catch it so…here I am." Allison shot up from Adam's arms and there worried filled her chocolate brown eyes.
"What?" Allison said frantically, "Krissy is sick? Adam you can't just leave him! I'm going to see him right now!" Allison leapt up, but Adam grabbed her arm and forced her back down.
"Adam!" Allison shrieked in protest. Adam sighed and realized he was gonna have to tell Allie the truth.
"Allie," Adam sighed, "Kris isn't sick. Something else happened." Adam let out one more, long sigh and filled Allison in on everything. Allison was a good listener. She giggled at the part where Kris thought they were dating, flinched when Adam told her about how Kris had suddenly gone pale and her eyes went wide when he told her about the kiss. When Adam finished they both lay back down, the same way they were before.
"So…" Allison whispered, "Did you kiss him back?"
"Allison!" Adam hissed, lightly slapping her arm, "Don't be ridiculous! It's Kris!" Allison shot up and stared straight at Adam with an exasperated look.
"Come on Adam! It's so obvious you are not over your "crush" Allison responded (
"What do you mean by "crush"?" Adam questioned looking suspicious
"Well come on! It's obviously more than a crush! You're head over heels for the guy!" Allison said, her voice getting more and more exasperated. Adam let out a huff of breathe in disagreement, "Allie don't be dumb! I had a tiny crush on Kris for a week, maybe! I'm totally over it though! I have Drake and I'm happy!" Adam retorted looking annoyed but slightly flushed. Allie rolled her eyes.
"Okay Adam, then why can't you stay with Kris tonight? He kissed you. So what? Adam you have that effect on people!" Allison said, sounding very annoyed now.
"Huh? What effect?" Adam said sound puzzled.
"Well," Allie continued, looking a little embarrassed, "It's like Twilight. You know how Edward is so perfect and magical that he makes people feel weird around him? He "dazzles" them? That's what you are like! I bet that's what happened to Kris! Even though I am fully aware you are gay and I love you like a brother, I have almost tried to make out with you several times!" Adam's face was blank, when he suddenly burst into laughter. Allie began to laugh with him. Adam settled back down into the bed and Allie curled up against him again.
"Allie" Adam said quietly, "You're right. I know I'm not over Kris, I don't know if I will ever be. I'm in love with him." Allie snuggled closer to Adam.
"It'll be okay Adam" Allie said comfortingly, "Everything will be okay"
"I hope" Allie thought to herself and slowly Adam and Allison drifted to sleep.
