Come away little lamb
Feeling a lump in his throat Adam just sat there, waiting for her to say something—anything. He needed to know what she wanted from this, or if she didn’t want anything to begin with. Nodding his head slightly he couldn’t hold back a childish grin. He knew she liked him, but for some reason he liked hearing her say it more than anything. Looking down at their intertwined hands he raised his eyebrows while waiting for her response to the second half of his question.
Smiling he slowly nodded his head, “I guess it does.” he reached over and grabbed her other free hand and intertwined it with his before leaning forward and kissing her, once more just because he felt like he should even though that’s really all they’d been doing, but he didn’t care. What mattered was that she was his girlfriend, and that felt really good to know.
Tori’s heart started to accelerate as he nodded, a wide grin stretching across her face. When her other hand was intertwined with his, she felt the familiar feeling of being on cloud nine return. Everything was perfect, and nothing could ruin that moment for the time being; Almost as if she was in her own little impenetrable bubble with Adam. As his lips met hers for the second time that night, she pulled one of her hands out of his and gently laid it on her boyfriend’s shoulder. The mere thought of Adam actually being her boyfriend was enough for her to smile into the kiss.
Smiling to himself Adam was at peace. Tori’s head on his shoulder, the heat radiating off of her body and on to his. They were so close, yet Adam felt so incredibly far away. There were so many unanswered questions popping into his mind. He wanted to know what she was thinking. Did she want to be his girlfriend, was she using him, was it as simple as just wanting to kiss him? He desperately wanted to ask her what was going on with then, but before he could even process it her lips were pressed against his. He didn’t even hear her say what movie she wanted to watch, like it mattered anymore. If they kept it up at this rate they wouldn’t even be watching a movie. Noticing how she repositioned herself while still keeping their lips together Adam rested his hands on her waist, kissing her back for a moment longer before pulling back. He hated being the one to break it. Especially since Tori had been inicating all the kisses that day, but his mind kept wondering. Licking his lips slightly he pursed them before beginning what he’d wanted to do. “What does this mean? The kissing.” he clarified, looking into her eyes. Unsure of how she would answer he felt himself blinking rapidly for a moment ” I just wanted to know if it means you’ll be my girlfriend.” he added quietly.
Tori frowned slightly as he pulled away, all sorts of thoughts running through her mind. The negative thoughts ruled over the positive ones as she moved slightly away, creating a larger distance between the two of them. She stared down at her legs, about to ask if anything was wrong, if she did anything wrong, when he spoke up. Her face transitioned into a confused expression as she looked up at him, her head cocked slightly to the side. She bit down on her lip softly, contemplating her words before she spoke. “It means I like you. A lot.” She mumbled out, pausing, with a faint tint of pink growing on her face. She reached over and took his hand from where it sat, intertwining it with her own and looked down at it, tracing patterns on the back of his hand with her thumb as she continued, “So does this mean I can now officially call the great Adam Torres… my boyfriend?” She grinned at the last word, hoping he would get the hint that she had just said yes in her own way.
Adam was on cloud nine. Nothing was going to bring him down, his insecurities were long forgotten—he felt like he had a chance. He knew it when she placed a kiss on his nose and his heart beat quickened enough for it to explode. Placing a hand on the side of her face he kept it there for a moment before tucking in a loose curl. Jumping slightly as the microwave beeped he moved his hand away from her face and dropped it down by his side.
Regaining his posture he let out a chuckle before grabbing the bag and some drinks for them to snack on. Picking up her hand again he led her back downstairs to their family room, containing a giant television and comfy couch, his favorite room in the house, for obvious reasons. Plopping down he pulled her with her, letting her fall practically right on top of his lap while remembering what Eli had said. He had to make a move sooner or later, and now was as good as ever. He needed to get some sort of closure if this was going to be a friends with some sort of benefits thing or an actual relationship. Adam sincerely hoped it was the latter as he wrapped an arm around her side before picking up a handful of movies off of the coffee table to their side. “Since we both like the same types of movies.” he started, raising an eyebrow “I took out a couple that we have, Inception, 300, Fight Club, Dark Knight. Uh a whole bunch of other stuff, whatever you want.” he smiled sweetly before laughing at himself.
Tori started to lean in as he tucked a loose curl behind her ear, but found her herself silently cursing the kitchen appliance as it let out an obnoxious beep. Her face flamed up as she stepped back, watching Adam gather their necessary snacks and drinks. However, her smile returned as he grabbed her hand once again and led her to the family room where they watched movies the last time. She laughed as she all but fell on top of him, and adjusted herself as he slid an arm around her waist, her body leaning against his with her head on his shoulder. She felt a sense of security, there with him, and hoped none of it would change anytime soon. As she contemplated which movie, she began to spoke, turning her head upwards to look at him. “Inception sounds perfect…” She trailed off, now noticing their close proximity. Seizing the moment, she leaned slightly upward, and pressed her lips against his. The butterflies in her stomach reached an all time high as she sat up straighter, never breaking the kiss, and placed her hand on his shoulder where her head previously was.
