this chapter will be something different because it's going to be almost all about Adam and what's he's done when Denver told him they should only be friends
Chapter 15:
Adam Ross was not having a good day at all. Denver just told him that they should just stay friends. He wanted to be with her again, she was heartbroken after the break up with Danny. Adam was depressed and that wasn't a good thing. Usually when he went into depression he got drunk and slept with the first woman who looked at him. But this night was not the same as most nights.
He went to the first place he thought of, and that was his ex girlfriend Lexi's apartment.
He knocked on the door and ran a hand through his hair.
Moments later Lexi opened the door, her eyes were red, and she was surprised to see Adam at her door.
"Adam, what are you doing here?" she wiped her eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah... come in," she stepped to the side, letting Adam enter.
"Where's Mike?" he asked, the apartment was very quiet.
"I made him leave," Lexi sniffed, wiping her dark hair out of her eyes.
"What did he do?"
"He... cheated on me. I saw him making out with some woman when I went to the store. When he came home I confronted him about it. Then he... he called me a no good bitch, and slapped me. God, why'd I ever leave you?" she starts crying again, and Adam pulled her into a hug.
"Come on Lex, don't beat yourself up. I'm here now," he kissed the top of her head, rubbing her back.
She pulled back and looked at Adam, "Um... so what are you doing here?"
"Having a bad day."
"You too? At least I'm not the only one," she sat down on the couch, pulling Adam down next to her. "So what happened to you?"
"My ex got dumped by her boyfriend, and she was very upset. I told her that I'm still in love with her, and she basically just friend zoned me."
"Aw Adam, I'm so sorry. Let me ask you though. If you are in love with your ex girlfriend, what are you doing at my apartment?"
"Usually when I get depressed I drink too much, and was thinking if I was with you, you'd convince me to stay sober."
"Good thing I don't have alcohol here," she smirked. "So, since you're here what did you think we'd end up doing?"
"Whatever happens, doesn't mean I want to get back together with you."
"Well... how does one night with me sound?"
"Um... I don't know if I can," he licked his dry lips as her hand ran up and down his thigh.
"You really love this one woman, don't you?" she asked and frowned, when he nodded.
"I can't get her out of my mind."
"Maybe I could help you with that," she went to straddle his waist, unbuttoning his shirt.
"Lexi..." he sighed, grabbing her hands to stop her movements.
"Come on Adam, we both got our hearts broken tonight, let's just make it worth our while. That's all I ask," her lips brushed against his. "It's obvious you want this as bad as I do," she ran her hand over the buldge in his pants. "Just give us one night, and we can forget it ever happened," she looked into his eyes, she could see how hurt Adam felt, about being rejected by someone he loved.
"Just for tonight," he agreed, before pulling her into a kiss.
Adam was late to work the next day, and Mac wasn't very happy about that. He went to go find Izzy working on some evidence.
"Izzy, can I um... talk to you about something?" he asked, nervously sitting down next to her.
"Why? What's up?" she looked up at the nervous lab tech.
"I kind of made a mistake last night... I slept with my ex."
"The one who left you to go back to her baby's father?"
"Yeah, I slept with her because... well she can be very convincing. But I kind of did it because well, because I was upset that Denver told me we should just be friends."
"And you think sleeping with your ex was a mistake?" she asked, trying to understand better.
"Sleeping with her made me realize that I'm in love with Denver more than I thought. What am I supposed to do?" he rubbed at his pants.
"You should fight for Denver, show her how much you'd do for her. Don't let her get away. I talked to her last night, she thinks you hate her because she told you she just wants to be friends."
"I don't hate her, she should know that. Danny really messed her up, didn't he?"
"Yeah he did," Izzy groaned. "Just show her how much she means to you. She needs to be loved, and I know she can if she gives you another chance. But if you do break her heart, remember I will happily kick your ass too."
"I could never hurt her intentionally, you know that."
"I know, but after the whole Danny incident, you should understand why I'm so protective of my best friend. Speaking of Denver, here she comes," Izzy nodded to Denver walking towards them, a smile on her face.
"Hey Iz... Adam."
"What's with the smile?" Izzy asked, nudging her friend in the side.
"Um... Adam, can I talk to Iz for a few minutes?"
"Sure..." he nodded. "Glad to see you smiling again."
"Thanks Adam," Denver placed a hand on his shoulder, kissing his cheek. "I've had a good day is all," she watched him leave the room, before turning back to Izzy.
"Okay, what happened?"
"Hunter came over before I came here. And well long story short... we kind of had sex."
Izzy smiled, "Did you enjoy it?"
"It was amazing I've never had sex like that in a while. It felt just like old times, but then I failed to remember, that he's leaving tomorrow."
"How do you feel about him leaving?"
Denver shrugs, "I don't want him to leave, but I think it would be for the best. I talked to him about Adam, and you won't believe what he told me."
"What did he say?"
"He told me that he wouldn't mind staying in New York for another week, but he doesn't want to stand in the way of what could be a good thing for me and Adam. I told him I didn't like Adam in that way, but he said he didn't believe me."
"Glad I'm not the only one who tells you to give Adam another chance."
"I don't want my heart broken again."
"Denver," Izzy grabbed her friend's hand, putting in it hers. "Adam is not going to break your heart."
"But how can you be so sure?"
"It's obvious of how much Adam still loves you, you can't just ignore that Den."
"God, why do you have to be right all the damn time?" Denver groaned.
"Adam, there you are," Hunter sat down on a stool next to the lab tech. "Can we talk?"
"Sure Hunter, what about?"
"I'm leaving for Philly tomorrow, so I need to ask you a favor," he ran a hand through his short hair.
"Okay," he nodded. "Is it about Denver?"
"See that's why I like you Adam," he patted him on the back. "One reason why I'm asking you for this favor, is because I trust you. I want you to make sure Denver is okay while I'm gone. I can tell she likes you because her eyes always brighten when you are around or when you are being mentioned," he huffs, "I love Denver Adam, and I don't want to see her get hurt. No matter how much I love her, I can't be with her, because let's face it she's perfect for you. I don't even compare to the amazing guy you are. Apparently she's never going to stop loving you, because you were her first love. It pains me to let her go, but at least I know she'll be in good hands with you."
"I didn't know you felt so strongly about her."
"I think about her everyday, I never been in love before, but Denver changed that. But I understand that you'll make her happier than I ever could. I don't want anything to happen that will make me change my mind."
He groans, he hate what he's going to say, "Hunter, I don't deserve Denver, I've realized that when she put me in the friend zone. I'm glad you want me to be with Denver, but I can't take that offer."
"Adam, the reason me and Denver can't work out is because we can't handle long distance relationships. Please just let me know that I can trust you to give Denver everything I can't. I have to let her go, but I advise you not to do the same. She'd be so much happier with you. I wish you all the luck in the world, and I trust you more than I trust anyone else not to hurt her. If you let her go, it'll be a big mistake. She deserves an amazing guy like you."
"Thanks Hunter."
Hunter smirked, "I know you will take good care of her, but if you need anything... and I mean anything at all, please call and let me know," he handed Adam one of his cards. "I know you'll do the right thing," patted his shoulder and then left the room.
