Chapter 9

We are still making excuses, it’s been a week and we’ve somehow managed to blag our way through it. I’d not left, but James was pushing me and Adam apart, I don’t know if he thinks something is going on between us or if he’s just being his usual protective self.

“Is something going on between you two?” My head shot up, eyes locked onto James who was glaring at Adam. Okay, maybe he is working some of this out, I quickly thought about all the things that had happened recently, any time me and Adam had shared a kiss or a touch. But, nothing stands out as a moment he could have spied. We’ve been careful.

“Me and Lee?” His eyes flicked to me quickly, like an apology for what he might say. “Dude, she’s fit. But banging your sister is not the best decision I could make.” I blushed slightly as his language, but no one noticed. Except maybe Adam. He always notices these things.

“Really, you think she’s fit?” James questioned, raising his eyebrow.

“No doubt about it. Don’t become a model for nothing.” Adam shrugged. James hated the fact I modelled, hated it to no end. Thinks that I could do better than that and shouldn’t try to restrict my body. Which I don’t, I eat what I want when I want. If designers or photographers don’t like it then they can take their money elsewhere.

“You have a history of making bad decisions.” James pointed out, seemingly unconvinced by Adam’s argument.

“I suppose I do.” Adam agreed.

“Just know, she does not need your relationship shit. You can be friends, but no more than that Adam. Don’t fuck with her heart.”

“I’m sat right here!” I called out, a little frustrated about where all this is going. I hate it when James tries to restrict my relationships, control my whole life. It’s a pretty annoying habit of his. “I’ve got to pack up a few more things.” With that I headed upstairs, I’ve slowly been moving back into my place. Only because of James’ incessant nagging. I was rummaging through Adam’s drawers when I felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around me, I couldn’t help but lean into the touch as his lips fell to my neck. He kissed my neck softly, gently nipping the most sensitive areas. I had to fight to withhold a moan. “Stop Adam.” I sighed, pulling away.

“I have to tell you. I love you.” My heart stopped beating, he looked so serious.

“What?”

“I love you.” He said confidently. “I won’t fuck with your heart, I love you.” He smiled at this, apparently seeming to have some sort of epiphany. Thank you James. For once, your dumb ass mouth has helped me out.

“And I love you too.” I smiled, leaning in to kiss him. Making it as passionate as possible.

“What happened to stop?” Adam smirked, pulling back from the heated kiss.

“You’ll just have to be quiet.” I whispered into his ear, a light (and adorable) blush spread across his cheeks and his eyes were filled with lust, desire and love.

“Challenge accepted.” He replied huskily, pushing me back onto the bed. His fingers already working at undressing me, as mine teased him. Brushing against exposed skin, skimming his waistband. Both of us letting out breathy moans, trying hard not to get heard. That would be very awkward, but as Adam’s mouth fell to my now exposed stomach I was finding it difficult to think straight. And when that mouth moved to my thighs and slowly higher. Well. Thinking was impossible.

“You two okay? You were up there a while.” James didn’t look up. Thank God. Because I’m fairly certain I looked like a tomato.

“Had some trouble finding the other shoe, but we managed it eventually.” Adam chuckled after glancing at me, I’m glad he is such a good liar. Otherwise I’d be screwed. Ha. Bad choice of word there.

“Alright, you ready to head out then Lee?” James asked, placing his phone into his pocket and getting to his feet.

“Sure. Let’s go.” Adam and I shared a look for little more than 10 seconds, but our eyes said all we needed to say. Goodbye. I love you. See you tonight. Sorry this is a secret. I want to kiss you. And more. So much more. I followed James out without a hug from Adam, neither of us sure if we would be able to hide how comfortable we felt in each other’s grip. “Thanks for dropping me off.” James insisted he drive me back to the flat.

“Got to look out for my sis.” He chuckled. “Now, when am I going to meet your man?”

“I don’t have one.” I gulped, trying to sound convincing. “But there is a guy I like and if things go well, then maybe one day you can meet him.”

“I look forward to it. I just want to look out for you.”

“I know James, but, sometimes it’s too much. I’m scared of how you’d react to any boy, I think too much of how you would feel about them than how I feel.” I admitted, finally getting the feeling off my chest. It felt as though a weight had been lifted.

“I’m sorry.” He sighed, thinking about what he was going to say next carefully. “I don’t want to scare you away from anyone, if you love someone enough to introduce them to me then I’ll respect you and them. It takes a lot, I know I’m harsh sometimes. And a little bit protective. But it’s because I love you Amelia.” The last time someone said that to me was little under an hour ago, when his best friend whispered it in my ear. Awkward.

“I love you James, and I understand why you do it. It’s just annoying.” He chuckled light-heartedly.

“I do try.” I rolled my eyes at his childish behaviour, I don’t know why I expected more. He’s always been a child at heart and I seriously doubt that will ever change. Not if he has anything to say about it.

“Bye James.”

“I’ll pick you up tomorrow at 4.” He called before driving away. Now, I have a night alone. Brilliant.
