Chapter 19
"Adam dear, have you had something to eat?" Mom asks, her question brought me back to reality.
"No, I am just waiting here for my friend"
"Your friend?" Mother asked, puzzled.
"Yes, Michael" he said casually
"My daughter's fiancé?" She was shocked.
I guess I am not the only one surprised to hear the news that Adam and Michael are friends? Wow, what a small world.
"This is good news. Never knew you both know each other. This means I will be having two friends as a son in law, great!" Mom said, smiling.
I am so happy seeing mom happy but, I don't know what is so exciting about the news. For me, I am in-between. Happy and not happy.
I mean, It is the root cause of my current predicament. If they weren't friends I wouldn't be in this mess because Adam wouldn't have come to my house!
Now I officially have a fiance although it is not real. What a sad life, this wasn't what I bargained for.
"Cathy why haven't you offered him anything yet, considering he is here for the first time. Is this what I taught you?" Mom asks, scolding you. Before I could speak Adam did first.
"No it's fine Mrs Jane, you don't.."
"Nonsense," mom said, interrupting him. "I will have the cook prepare something delicious for you. You are my future son in law after all" she said smiling before leaving taking Dad along.
"Honey, where are you taking me to?" Dad obviously is not cool with leaving.
He has been standing staring at Adam, the news of us dating brought him great joy. Most especially when he found out he is my boss, dad's countenance changed positively.
"We need to leave these two love birds,
" She said to dad. "but remember no sex!" She chirped in, winking at me.
"Oh my God, you are an unbelievable mom" I said, chuckling. My cheeks are all red.
Slowly, my laughter died as realization dawned on me that I and Adam are alone once again, I hope history doesn't repeat itself.
"How long will you stand there with your back against me" Adam ask
"For as long as I want, have a problem with that?" I ask still not looking at him
"Come on Catherine we need to talk"
"Yes we really need to" I said as I turned to him.
He needs to explain to me why he lied to my parents, not to mention how he insulted me. But first, he needs to tell me why he lied when in reality we are not.
Because of him my parents have false hope, they will be shattered once they find out the truth.
What will I do then?
Unable to think of a way out, I looked up to Adam again, hoping to get an explanation or some solution since he created this mess, but found him staring at me thinking God knows what.
As my gaze lingered on his face I couldn't help but look at his lips that did magic some minutes ago. My gaze fell in his outfit, as I stood there admiring him.
He looks so handsome in his white shirt. This is the first time I am seeing him in casual wear, not his regular corporate wear.
Will I be able to get over this handsome beast? For the first time I craved for something I cannot have, how I wish he cares about me even if it is a tiny bit.
Now, everytime I close my eyes his words keep replaying in my head, hurting me all over again.
"Why are you staring at me? He asks with his usual calm voice, snapping me out of my thoughts.
For a moment there, I zoomed off. Thinking deeply how my life changed drastically, from the usual boring life to something interesting, and daring.
"Catherine?" He called when he didn't get a response.
"You, why are you staring at me?" I retorted. "You know what, don't tell me, I don't care. What I am interested in is why you did what you did?"
"Which is?" He ask
"You mean you don't know or you are just playing dumb? Do you think I am some kind of fool or what?"
"Catherine, I have never considered you to be such and never will either" he said as he looked into my eyes.
I want to believe him but I can't, not after what he said to me. He insulted me and said I mean nothing to him.
"Liar! You heard me, you are a liar. A man without a heart. A beast"
He flinched in pain, I watched as his eyes darkened in anger. Maybe I was a little harsh with my words but I don't care..at least for now.
"Please Catherine, don't push me away" he begged, pleading with his eyes. For a second there, I was moved with pity for him until I heard his next word.
"All I did was save you, most especially from your mom. That is all"
"You call that saving?" I ask chuckling, he must be joking.
"Yes Catherine, if it is not then what is it?"
I tried to give him a befitting response but didn't know what to say because he was right. I needed saving, most especially from Mom.
She yelled at me for the first time, scolding me without caring if a third person was present. But still, Adam shouldn't have helped me.
"Tell me, why did you feel the need to save me when I mean nothing to you?" I ask, my voice suddenly sounds frail.
"Cherry.."
"Please don't" I said, cutting him off immediately.
"I don't know why you are upset. I only did that to save you"
"Please stop!" I said, covering my ears with my hands
"Why are you so upset? Please tell me" he asks with the gentlest of voices.
Oh I see, he is trying to act dump just so he will seduce me again and insult me. I won't be a fool twice.
"What is wrong is that you lied to my parents, worsening my situation. Now what will I do once my parents find out the truth?"
"Catherine" he called in that voice I love so much.
I looked at him as he walked to me all the while maintaining eye contact, not blinking.
"You know that is not what I am asking" He said in that same voice. I can feel my body betraying me, the closeness is just too much.
"Please Adam, stay away from me" I begged.
"Why, tell me. Does my presence affect you that much?" He asks, lowering his head placing soft kisses on my neck, slowly moving to my chin setting my heart on fire.
But before he got to my lips, I pushed him "How dare you? I said stay away from me" I hissed warning him.
He just stood there with a furrowed brow looking at me. I was expecting anger instead, he smirked. His eyes filled with admiration.
Huh, how is that possible?
I looked again just to be sure, but his expression is back to usual..unreadable.
"Is that what you really want?" He asks, with no trace of emotion.
I looked at him unsure what he was asking "What?" I ask
"You know what? You are right, I shouldn't have lied to your parent"
"Yes" I said, nodding my head in agreement.
"Well, you are free to go tell them everything.
"What?" I ask, tell them? He can't be serious, right. I look at him hoping I heard wrong.
"Catherine, you may go ahead, it's not too late to tell them the truth. I will take my leave now" he said, before turning and taking his leave.
Wait what? No, I can't do it.
I watched him retreating, my heart couldn't take it. As much as he hurt me I can't stand to see him leave either,.. most especially in this state. He looks so broken.
Before he could get to the door, I screamed, calling out to him
"Adam, No! Please wait. I can't" I said, crying. "I can't Adam, please don't leave."
I don't know if I was begging him not to leave my house or me. But one thing is certain I don't want either.
My heart leaped for joy as he stopped and turned to me, his eyes filled with concern and something I can't read or too scared to believe.
"No, he doesn't have feelings for me, it's all a scam." I said to myself. Hoping it sinks, and I won't get my hopes up.
"Then what do you want?" He ask
Unable to look at him I looked down as I responded. The intensity in his eyes is too much.
"I'm in a big mess. I..I think lying this one time won't hurt them. But I don't know what to do, and how to do it"
"There is nothing to do other than to play along, at least that's what I think..for now"
"But sooner or later the truth will come out" I said feeling so tired with the situation
"Yes it will. But before then we would have thought of a way out, and how to break the news to them.
"Okay, and how will we do that?" I ask again. Right now I am not thinking straight.
"We can start first by taking this conversation to your room so no one will listen to our conversation. With all the talking and noise you've been making I'm sure we will get caught before we even get started."
"Oh yes you are right"
"Which direction is your room?" He ask
"The left wing"
"Okay, please lead the way"
I led him to my room, I couldn't believe Adam was following behind me. If Kylie was here, she would have met her crush. The thought of that made me chuckle.
"Is everything okay?" Adam's voice came behind me.
"Urhm yes, why will you ask that?"
"Isn't it obvious?" he asked with a smirk. I can't see his face but I am sure he has that smirk on his face that really gets on my nerves.
"Just remembered something that is all"
"Mind shar..?"
"Nope" I cut him off before he finished asking his obvious question.
"Alright" is the last thing he said as we walked in silence on the remainder of our journey to my room.
I don't even know how we got here, in my head I played the scene all over. First I was having a nice time with Kylie having cake. Then, with my sister.
And now I am here pretending I'm in a romantic relationship with Adam, the root cause of my sleepless night. The man I can't stop thinking of, who keeps invading my thoughts without permission.
Before Kylie came over, I was making an effort to get him out of my head but can't, it is so impossible. And now that we have kissed it will be impossible to forget him.
The way his fingers did magic, moving in and out my sweet hole aroused me all over. I am so wet right now. I want him to touch me again.
Oh God, help me I need saving.
Adam has unleashed the horny side of me, I can't help but blush. Quickly I cover my cheek before Adam notices but unfortunately for me, I was too slow.
"Do you normally blush every time you take someone to your room?" He ask
