The Guy I Couldn't Stay Away From

CHAPTER 26

Louvina's POV

Dinner was amazing. Mr. and Mrs. Brickle involved me in all the conversations even the ones concerning Brickle Enterprises. When I was talking absolute nonsense, Adam would squeeze my hand and that would make me stop immediately but someway somehow, I always ended up jumping right back into spewing nonsense. And Adam squeezed my hand so much that it was pink by the end of dinner but Mr. and Mrs. Brickle only laughed when I was ranting. They obviously didn't mind.
And well, Alvin as usual was quiet throughout dinner doing the same robotic movements only, he was gripping his fork really tightly.
I guess he wasn't in a good mood.

"You can just pick one of the guestrooms and sleep there" Mrs. Brickle tells me.

I nod. "Thank you Michelle"

"Oh dear but did you bring extra clothes?" Mrs. Brickle asks clearly concerned.

"N-"

"I've got that covered" Adam cuts in.

"Uhm thanks" I say.

"Goodnight dear" Mrs. Brickle says blowing Adam and I air kisses before going up the stairs. I turn to ask Adam what he meant by that but he's nowhere to be found so I decide to get settled in my room.

Obviously, I chose the guestroom closest to Adam. I take a long shower and after drying my body, I decide to risk it and walk back into my room completely naked because I locked to door.
I walk over to the bed to see a small bag and open it. I gasp a little when I realise that the bag is filled with my clothes. There was one hoodie, an oversized sweatshirt, a pair of jeans, a crop top and two pairs of my underwear. How the hell did he get these. I quickly dress up into one pair of underwear and the sweatshirt and make my way to Adam's room to question him.

Once again, I barge in but thankfully, he's clothed. He was typing something on his laptop and damn did he look good in the glasses that sat on the bridge of his nose. He looks at me through the glasses with a raised eyebrow.

"I see you found my little present" he says.

"How'd you get these?" I ask, placing a hand on my hip.

His smirk deepens and he shrugs.

Well, if he wasn't going to tell me, then I'll have to glare the answer out of him.

He glares back a bit before giving up.
"Well, I do have spare keys to your house"

I let out a horrified gasp. I was imagining Adam breaking into my house, going to my room and searching through my underwear drawer.

He breaks out into a laughing fit. Apparently, this was funny.

"Chill. I didn't do any of what you're thinking" he finally says.

"Then?"

"It doesn't matter. You got your clothes didn't you?"

I roll my eyes, nod and turn to leave.
"Wait! You're not actually going to sleep in the guestroom are you?" He asks

"Yes, I am. Why wouldn't I?" I ask

"But I wanted to snuggle with you tonight" he whines.

I laugh at his childishness.

"Goodnight Adam" I say and quickly leave ignoring his protest.

When I get back to the room, I waste no time in getting under the covers and snuggling with my pillow. I was really tired. My eyelids start to feel heavy after a while and I let myself fall into the darkness of sleep.

*********************

The sun was dang bright today but I liked it because someway somehow, it had warmed up the pillow I snuggled. Come to think about it, the pillow was lot bigger and harder. That can't be right.

I open my eyes to see that it was Adam I was snuggling and my legs were draped over his. How did he even get in? I locked the door.

I poke his chest. He doesn't react so I poke again and continue poking until he stirs.

"No one likes being poked Lou" he says in a groggy voice which I definitely found sexy.

"What are you doing here? How did you even get in?" I ask

"You think locking the door would keep me out? I live here"

"That's invasion of privacy" I say.

"Whatever. Get ready for school I'll drop you off"

"Okay daddy" I answer sarcastically but he grins widely. I roll my eyes and walk in to the bathroom to start getting ready.

************************

"Ugh! Finally!" I say as Keke and I walk out of our last class. Today was extra tiring. Between having to sit through those boring classes and trying to convince Keke that my virginity is still intact, I honestly didn't know which one was more stressful. Maybe the universe went easy on me yesterday because it was my birthday.

"I know right. All I want to do is crawl up into bed" Keke groans and unlocks her car.

"I feel you on that one." I agree.

With an aux cord, I connect my phone to the radio and we sing along to couple of BTS songs. And by sing I mean replace the actual words with words we can pronounce and understand.

I thank her and wave goodbye when she parks in my driveway. Before I open the door, something catches my eye from the side. I walk towards the garage and realise that Abbey's car is parked there. Well that's strange, she wasn't supposed to come until tomorrow evening.

Anyway, she's here. I skip to the front door and walk in.

"Abbs?" I call out but I get no answer.

"Abbey?" I check her room but its empty. Now where would she be? I wonder.

Oh maybe she's in my room.

"Abbs!" I shout in excitement when I see her sitting on my bed with her head on her lap.

She looks up at me.

"Louvina" she says calmly. I had a bad feeling. She never called me by my full name.

"What. the fuck. is this?" She asks and turns her phone screen to face me.

My jaw hits the floor and my eyes pop open. It was a picture of Adam and I. Adam had a towel wrapped around his waist and he was kissing me.
The picture was taken yesterday.

"Please tell me I'm hallucinating Louvina else so help me God, I'll be arrested for double homicide today"

I gulp loudly from fear.

Well there goes my sleep.
