"Right here?"
Fiona nodded and followed Holly J to the park bench. They were both exhausted, having jogged a few laps around Central Park. It was Saturday morning and the two of them were catching up after a hectic week for them both.
Holly J took a long sip of her bottled water. Fiona followed suit.
"It's really hot out today," Holly J complained. The sun had been beating down on them and now she was all sweaty.
Fiona cracked a grin. "Well, considering the season…"
Holly J gave her a death glare and she laughed.
"Lighten up! Look on the bright side, we have two days to do what we wish and enjoy the weather!" Fiona pointed out.
Holly J studied. "You sound awfully upbeat for somebody who isn't getting laid," she deadpanned.
Fiona shrugged. "Six more days. What's your excuse?" she playfully fired back.
"Hey! Work and a toddler at home!" Holly J responded.
The two women laughed.
Holly J was happy to spend time with Fiona. She was her best friend and they hadn't had much time to together as of late. She was always juggling a lot on her plate and Fiona was also busy with work and a new romance, though she was hoping to change that in the week ahead.
"So, next Saturday Declan and I are taking Finlay to Governor's Island. We're making a family day of it. You should come! You could bring Adam if you'd like," Holly J suggested.
Fiona shook her head. "I can't, sorry! Adam and I have plans."
"Oh. Right, it's your one month anniversary," Holly J suddenly remembered. How could anyone forget?
Fiona nodded.
"Are you guys going away to celebrate?" Holly J inquired. Perhaps Adam was taking her out of town for a romantic getaway.
"No, we're going to stay in," Fiona told her.
Holly J furrowed her brows. "The whole weekend?" she questioned. Surely they could set aside some time to come and visit!
Fiona slowly smiled. "Yeah," she confirmed. Holly J raised an eyebrow and Fiona giggled. "Adam has already started making provisions and his roommate agreed to bunk elsewhere, so it'll be just the two of us."
Holly J was floored. "Wow. Sounds like you two are really thinking this through!"
Fiona nodded. "Yes. We're absolute dying right now, but it'll be worth it!"
Holly J smiled. She knew both Fiona and Adam were counting down the days! However, she wondered if it would go as planned. "But will it? I mean, now that you held off for so long, in a way you've both built it up. Aren't you a little worried that your time together won't live up to expectations?"
Fiona snorted. "Nope!"
Holly J chuckled. "You seem quite confident!" she observed.
"I'm not worried about how things will go with Adam. I know it will be really good. We had amazing chemistry before, and besides," Fiona paused and smiled broadly. "I saw the goods this morning!"
Holly J raised an eyebrow. "Really?" Wasn't that against their rules? "You sound satisfied," she noted.
Fiona nodded enthusiastically. "I am!" she affirmed.
Fiona looked up as the door opened and smiled as Adam entered the room. He was shirtless and had a towel wrapped around his waist. She fully appreciated the view as her eyes swept over his toned physique.
He met her eyes. "Shower's free," he declared.
Adam had a long day ahead of him. He was going to work in the early afternoon because of a special project, and wouldn't be back until nightfall. For that reason he decided to get up early and head to the gym. He wouldn't have time to go later.
"I can see that," she quipped.
Adam grinned and watched as she hopped off the bed and grabbed her things.
"Be right back," she told him.
He nodded and they shared a quick kiss.
Fiona was smiling from ear to ear as she walked to the bathroom. She closed the door behind her and sighed happily. Waking up next to Adam was amazing! There were no words for how good it felt to open her eyes and see the love of her life right beside her. However, seeing him come out of the shower was a recurring event that deserved special recognition. It never failed to brighten her mood!
She hung up her change of clothes on the back of the door. She then walked towards the shower and went to adjust the water.
"Crap," she muttered. She quickly looked around for her shampoo and sighed. She had brought a new one to use and apparently left it in the room! Luckily she had yet to undress, so she decided to go back for it.
"It's me," she announced as she turned the handle of his door. The sight that met her eyes left her transfixed.
It wasn't the first time she had seen Adam getting dressed. However, this was the first time since they got back together that she saw him fully naked! The towel had been discarded and he held a gym shirt in his hands. It seemed like he was about to put it on when she opened the door.
Her eyes quickly travelled south. She smiled in approval before looking up to meet his eyes.
Adam chuckled. "Hey," he said softly. He made no attempt to cover up. He didn't see the need to, being alone in his room with his girlfriend. However, he found it amusing that she was trying not to be obvious in ogling him. He didn't mind in the slightest, because seeing the desire in her eyes was a major turn-on!
"Hey. Just left my shampoo," she told him.
"That's cool," he responded. He turned and glanced at the top of the dresser behind him. "Is that it?"
She nodded. "That's the one."
He grabbed the orange bottle and they both walked towards each other, meeting in the middle of the room.
Fiona looked down again and smirked. "I like what I see," she said mischievously.
Adam smiled broadly. In moments like these it felt like she could read his mind! He had been wondering what she thought him as he stood before her seven years later. His body was quite different from the boy she knew.
She reached out and ran her hand down his stomach almost torturously slow, grazing his tight abs with her fingers. His breath quickened.
Adam held back for a few seconds longer, before deciding he couldn't take it anymore. He leaned forward and captured her lips in a scorching kiss. Fiona's hand continued its journey south. He groaned in pleasure when she reached his arousal. He was fully hard as she lightly stroked the length of him, from base to tip.
She abruptly ended their kiss and held his gaze for a long moment. As he stared back at her, they reached an understanding. The room was quiet, except for the sound of their breathing.
"Fiona?" Holly J called out.
Fiona looked at her startled and the redhead laughed. "Welcome back to the land of the living!" she said sarcastically.
Fiona blushed a little. "Sorry," she said in a small voice.
Holly J was thoroughly amused. "You were in another world!" she teased. "Adam-land," she added with a laugh.
Fiona narrowed her eyes, but couldn't hold the scolding expression for long. "Well, like I said, we're dying!"
When she felt him in her hand this morning, he was hard and incredibly warm. She wanted to continue so badly! It had taken all her resolve to leave the room and take a shower. She touched herself thinking about him, and for the millionth time cursed their decision to wait a month before becoming intimate! They had six more days to go and she wasn't sure how they were going to survive!
Before she left the apartment, she and Adam had an honest talk about how they were feeling and made concrete plans for the upcoming week. They decided to put an end to sleepovers at his place for now. She was going to miss them, but they both agreed it was for the best. The mornings were just too tempting!
Holly J stood up. "So, are you ready for one more lap? Or lunch?"
Fiona made a face. "Lunch, definitely!"

A/N: Six days to go! In the story that is ;-) It doesn't correspond with the actual number of chapters until we get there. (That shouldn't be a surprise. After all, I have a story that has 21 chapters and counting set on the same day! But I promise this definitely won't take that long!)
Anyways… Hmm, sounds like Fadam had a rather eventful morning, right?
Review! You know you wanna :D
In the next chapter… The Torres brothers talk! Also, Adam and Gregory have a rather interesting chat! And, there's food mentioned (I can't help it!)…
To the folks I can't directly PM:
FADAMisMYlife - Thanks for the kind words! Was fun to show some levity, and yes, go Joe! As for the time jump... Haha, not quite! Btw, I am skipping promos again. See my note at the end.
I3FADAM - Aww, glad to hear that :D Thanks for the review!
anna - No prob! I'm glad you enjoyed the previous chapter. Yes, Meg & Dia rock. I discovered them on Jango[dot]com. I love their song "Rebecca"! Also love "Monster", "Going Away", and "What If".
Another Note: FYI, I'm doing my best not to watch any of the season 11 promos. I want to tune in without any expectations. Already I know more than I want to, but I'm doing my best not to soak in anymore.
