12. gold rush

When Adeline woke up in Adam's arms she felt amazing. Having been wrapped up in his arms all night, her back to his front, his arm flung around her. She felt safe and comfy —and warm.

And of course they woke up naked. Finally having taken the most intimate step up to now.

They were doing it multiple times last night not being able to believe how amazing it felt. It was like they were insatiable.
Adeline didn't think she's ever felt that good with a man before. She loved the way he was so thoughtful with his movements, making sure she felt just as much pleasure as he did.

She didn't want to stand up and get to work at all. Everywhere else is a worse place than here.

Knowing her duties though, she eventually knew she had to. And slowly but surely tried to get out of Adams strong grip not wanting to wake him. She put the loud and annoying sound of the alarm clock off and stood up.

Adeline realized she had to go home again, not wanting to appear with her lacy black dress at work.
She got into his fancy bathroom to refresh herself at least a bit.

"Morning love!" Adam said as he came in, hugging her from behind. He was smiling as they both looked into his mirror to eye the other one up and down. His voice was still raspy and he was only in his boxers but she didn't mind.

"Hmm...morning!" She said.
"Why are you in such a hurry, A?"
"Need to go home quickly before going to work, don't really want to go in my walk of shame look."

"Oh I actually have some clothes here -wait!" Adam said running into his room to search for clothes in his closet.

He came back with a white blouse and a pair of black dress pants in his hands. Adeline only looked at him dumbfounded.

"Do you really expect me to wear your past lover's clothes?"

"No? Those are my sisters...if you're not happy with that we can-"

"Oh! No, no it's fine. It will do thank you!" Adeline said a bit embarrassed.

"So now that I've so gladly spared you a lot of time, I'm going to make you breakfast and will drive you. Don't have much to do anyway!"

Adeline laughed and they kissed again for a while. Only a while though, since Adam feared he would get hard again and would be left unhappy.

Adeline put her new clothes on and brushed through her ginger hair quickly. It wasn't the perfect look but it was good enough.

As she went downstairs he was still in his black boxers, standing at the stove. His hair was still messy but it looked cute, Adeline thought. His back was scratchy and it made her laugh a bit.

Now it was her time to wrap her arms around him, his upper body felt muscular and warm and she grinned against it.

"What are you cooking?"
"Scrambled eggs, do you like them?"
"Hmh, very much so." She said and leaned her head against his back.
Ten minutes later they were sat at his dinner table eating and she must admit he was a good cook.

"When do you want to leave?" Adam asked, his mouth full.
"Well...ten minutes?"
"Okay, yeah will get dressed quickly and then drive you up."

"Thanks, appreciate it!"
"Sure...Uhm actually I wanted to ask you something..." he gulped.
"...I was wondering...if...do you want to be my girlfriend?" This was the first time he asked such a question. He knew this is what he had to do, it was the right thing to do. He wanted her.
Adeline grinned brightly.
"Of course!" she said and kissed him again.

None of them thought it could get any better. It was like a gold rush but for now it was everything that mattered.

He drove her to Bennet Publishment's and their separation was hard, to say at least.
Adeline carried her feeling of bliss thoroughout the whole day, getting multiple compliments for the"glow" she seemed to be carrying.

She would go back to his house tonight and couldn't wait for it at all. Her day was busy as usually, her lectures tiring and she was so hungry, one could hear her stomach grumble.

As the evening approached, they saw each other again.
They spend most of their time in bed again only talking so much about their days.
"Remember last week?" Adam asked.
"Hm yeah I do... I can't believe it only has been a week since we first met!"
"I can't believe you laughed right into my face when I asked you out."
"I'm sorry...I was just scared and I actually thought you were joking."
"Well I wasn't...it's all good now though, you're here! It's all that matters."
"Anyway I could make it up?" Adeline asked seductively...

Their whole weekend was spend that way together, watching movies, and sometimes not watching too much.

It was their honeymoon phase, so they'd enjoy it as long as it lasted. It was Adam's first relationship since grade 3 but if all of them looked like the one he was in now he decided he loved them.

And he might or not might feel so much for her already but keeps it locked inside his heart for now.
