Hope you're enjoying. :)
Adam POV
Amelia pulled away for a second time. This time, she sat all the way back in her seat, and closed her eyes.
"Adam, I hope you don't think I brought you here to seduce you."
I could hear the playfulness in her voice.
"Damn." was all I said.
We walked up to her bedroom. She gave me a pair of basketball shorts, and one of her dad's t-shirts to sleep in.
"I um...I have to use the bathroom" I said and hurried out. No way I could just change in front of her. I could only imagine. What's that you say Amelia? Oh, those are just my bandaged down breasts. Why don't I have a penis you say?...I was disgusted at the thought.
I walked back in her room to find her already under the covers.
"You may sleep with me in my bed, but no funny business sir. We haven't even established the status of our relationship yet." she said sarcastically. "I mean, we definitely shouldn't even be sleeping together. It's not even face book official."
I laughed, and crawled in next to her. Amelia turned around to face me.
"Goodnight Adam. I apologize in advance for the kicking, and blanket stealing you may endure throughout the night." with that, she turned away. I swear she fell asleep instantly, because her breathing became even, and when I said "Goodnight Amelia." I got no response. I just laid there, listening to the patterns of her breath and the sounds of the night for awhile. At that moment, things were absolutely perfect. Well. Almost perfect.
Amelia POV
Adam thought I was asleep. I was sure of it. But really, I was wide awake. I wanted so badly to crawl into his arms, and listen to his heart beat. I wanted to him to hold me. But even more, I wanted to hold him. But I couldn't. I knew he wasn't ready for that kind of intimacy. Adam was hiding something from me, and I so badly wanted to know. For now though, I'll take what I can get. Happily.
The next morning Adam and Amelia woke up exactly how they had fallen asleep. Only, Amelia was wrapped like a burrito in the blanket, and Adam was left uncovered and shivering. Amelia unwrapped herself, sat up, and yawned.
"Isholdyoukiwashabanklethog" she groaned out.
"Wha?" Adam said confused.
"I told you I was a blanket hog" she giggled.
Amelia looked at the time. 10:13 A.M.
"Let's go eat breakfast. I make a mean bowl of cereal." she said as she got up and headed towards her bedroom door.
Together they ate breakfast and talked. Nothing heavy, just things like how Amelia eats so much yet stays so skinny. Why Adam wears all his pants fourteen sizes too big. And how sickening Eli and Clare could be sometimes. Last nights confessions, and last nights kiss had yet to come up.
"Adam...I think we should take things slow, get to know each other before we rush into anything."
"I completely agree Adam said."
Adam POV
I'm not sure if I felt relieved, or disappointed. I mean, yes Amelia and I still had so much to learn about each other, but to have a girlfriend? My very own girl to hold hands with at school, to kiss anytime I wanted...well that was what I wanted. I wanted Amelia.
School. Shit. What would people at school say if they saw us together as a couple? Someone would most definitely tell Amelia about...me. And she would be hurt that she didn't hear it from me. Disgusted. Betrayed. She wouldn't want me. And aside from that...the taunting. The jokes. The ugly words that would be tossed at her. "She's dating a freak so she must be one". I could not do that to her. Amelia was an angel, and she deserved so much better.
I had to save her. I had to save us both from the inevitable pain that would be thrown at both of us.
"Actually Amelia...maybe last night was a mistake. I gotta go."
I walked towards the front door.
"Adam wait, what are you talking about?"
"I'm sorry Amelia. I don't like you, and I shouldn't have said that."
The look on her face. Pure devastation. What had I done?
I walked out the front door. And started walking, leaving the most wonderful girl I'd ever met behind.
I hate myself.
