Chapter 3
Adam saw her. He saw her looking at them. He was so sure that she was crying as she walked out the studio. Adam rose from where he was sitting and decided to follow her. But a hand caught his, “Hey, babe, where are you going?” Behati asked holding Adam’s arms.
“Babe?” Cee-lo asked. He wanted to be sure if he heard it right.
“Hey, Cee, let’s get some drink. Let’s leave them here for awhile,” Blake offered.
As Cee-lo and Blake made their way out of the studio, Adam turned to Behati. “What are you doing here?” he asked gripping her arms.
“Ouch! You’re hurting me!” Behati cried.
“I’m sorry.”
“I came here to talk to you. I’m so sorry with what I did. I shouldn't have done that. I was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing. I’m sorry.”
“You know, Bee. We’re over. I don’t love you anymore,” Adam said. He tried his best not to hurt her feelings but he felt like it’s much better if she knows the truth.
“You can’t do that, Adam! You can’t leave me!”
“Bee, get over it. Please, let this go.”
“I’m carrying your child!” Behati finally said. Tears already forming in her eyes. She looked down and back to Adam’s eyes. “I’m pregnant.”
Adam was dazed. He didn't know what to say. He just stood there looking at her. He wasn't expecting something like this. This shouldn't be happening. He felt like big debris fell down from above.
When Behati finally had taken in that Adam would stay speechless for long, she straightened up and fixed herself. “If you’re not going to say anything, I’m gonna leave now.”
Adam just nod at her. He couldn't even look in her eyes. Behati was already walking when Adam spoke, “I’m sorry if this happened.” Behati heard him say, he looked at him with a sad smile and just walked out.
Christina with puffy eyes went out of the bathroom and went straight to her dressing room to get her things and go home. But before she opened the door to her dressing room, Cee-lo caught her.
“Hey, hey, hey! What’s up with your eyes? You crying?” he asked.
“No, I just have….um…. you know, a bad cold,” she lied.
Cee-lo wasn't convinced since he also saw her looking their way when Behati came to them. “You and Adam, huh?”
“What are you talking about, Cee?” she forced a smile.
“You…… Together.”
“Yea, but don’t expect it’ll last long,” she said. She felt like she’s about to sob again but tried her best to hold it up.
“I know,” Cee-lo sounded worried.
Christina didn't speak and with that, Cee-lo sensed she needed to be alone so he headed back to Blake. When Christina was finally alone, she started packing up her things. Then someone knocked, “Christina?” she heard. She knew who it was and she looked at herself in the mirror and sighed.
Adam opened the door and saw her fixing her hair. She didn't look at him. She just kept on fixing her beautiful hair. She didn't say anything and he knew that he got some explanation to do.
“What you saw is nothing, Chris. I wasn't expecting her to come,” he explained.
“No, it’s fine. You just broke up with her, with how long? A few weeks ago? Maybe she just wants to see you and say sorry,” she said. She sounded bitter though.
Adam knew this isn't going to go well. “Are you mad at me?”
“Why would I be mad with you? It’s just a hug anyway. It’s not like you two kissed or anything.”
“Chrissy, you’re lying.”
“Why would I?”
“You were crying when you walked out the studio. I was trying to get to you.”
“But why didn't you?” Now, Christina sounded a little bit livid.
“Behati wanted to talk to me.”
“What did you two talk about?”
“That we’re over. I told her I don’t love her anymore,” he said thinking if he should also tell her about the baby. But he decided to leave it out. “Christina, I don’t want to lose you,” he said reaching out for her hand. With that, he knew what he was saying. He really doesn't want to lose her. But with Behati pregnant, he knew time will come, he would be losing her. He doesn’t want that to happen.
“Christina, I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“I made you cry. But wait, does that mean, you’re already falling in love with me?” he beamed.
“Nah, who told you?” she was blushing with what he said. She knew he was right. She wouldn't feel any jealousy if she’s not falling for him anyway. In her heart, she wants them to last. But her mind tells a different story. Does she trust him? Why would she doubt their relationship if they both knew they like each other?
“Come on, let me make this up to you,” Adam said interrupting her thoughts.
They went out for dinner that night. After that, Adam drove Christina home. Just like the first time he took her home, he opened the car door for her but this time; Christina smiled at him and kissed him on the cheeks. He watched her as she walked to the gate. Then he called her, “Christina, wait up!”
“What? Did I forget something?”
“Yes, you did!” Adam walked to her. He hesitated at first; a little worried that Christina wouldn't like it and slap him in the face. He kissed her on the lips. First it was only a soft kiss but when he felt Christina responding to it, he deepened it and kissed her passionately. Christina, on the other hand, liked it very much. But before they ended up making out outside her house, she was the one to pull away from the kiss. She wanted more but she knew it’s not yet the right time. She thought, next time, Adam. Next time.
“I’m afraid someone’s out there taking picture of us,” she laughed.
“Yea, probably.”
“You should go home now.”
“Yes,” Adam gave her another kiss before walking back to his car. Before he went inside, he looked at her once again and said, “Thank you.”
Christina just smiled and watched him as he started the engine. She knew she was blushing. And as the car fade from a distance, she was smiling to herself like a little child. She went inside. She checked in on Max and he was already sleeping. She kissed him on the forehead and went to her room. She took a shower first before going to bed. She remembered the kiss. She liked it. No, she actually loved it. She then, lied down and drifted to sleep.
Adam, on the other hand, knew everything was wrong. But he didn't feel anything wrong when he kissed her. He wanted more but he knew if he went too far things will get crazier than it already was. He’s having his baby. HIS BABY! He didn't know how to tell this to Christina. His mind went wild when he knew this. He couldn't sleep. He kept on thinking what to do but nothing really is coming in his mind. But that kiss, he couldn't forget it! He didn't want it to be the last. The last kiss he’ll ever get from her…… from Christina.
