"Adam?" I asked, whispering.

How in the world did he find me? Isn't he supposed to be in L.A.?

He didn't say anything, but he swiftly sat down next to me, his concerned eyes not leaving mine.

If everything was normal and if Heath didn't get in the accident, I would be freaking out right now. But right now, even with Adam Levine next to me, I felt miserable. And where the hell was Sarah?

"Nicole.....Are you okay?" Adam finally asked.

I shook my head, "My 16 year old brother is in a...a coma," my voice started cracking," and there is a possibility that he-"

"Come here," Adam interrupted as he pulled me into his arms.

Once again, I felt like a million bombs were going off the second Adam and I touched.

I buried my head into his shoulder and started crying again. Adam stayed quiet, but comforting me at the same time.

But why was he doing this? We practically just met yesterday and now, here he is, in Florida with me, comforting me in the stairway. I would never imagine him doing this, let alone to me.

"Hey," Adam started, trying to get my mind off of by brother,"I bet you have been missing something really bad."

I pulled away from his shoulder, wiped my eyes, and looked up at him.

He smiled as he held up my phone in right hand.

My eyes grew wide. Oh my God! He had my phone!?

I reached for it and Adam held it back.

"Hey! That has my life on there!" I whined, wanting my phone.

It was sad, but true.

He chuckled and smirked."I'll give it back on one condition-"

Adam Freaking Levine.....asking something of me?

"And that would be?" I asked, prompting him to go on.

He dropped his smile and stared at me, completely serious.

Is it something bad? Do I have something on my face? Or is it something else? It must be huge if changed his attitude like that.

"Would you go to dinner with me sometime?"

OH MY GOD! ADAM LEVINE IS ASKING ME TO DINNER!! But wait a minute, he's engaged...that would mean he would be cheating on Behati. But what if we went as friends? That couldn't hurt right?

"Just as friends, right?" I asked feeling awkward by asking.

Adam nodded his head quickly, "Yeah, yeah. Just as friends."

I smiled softly and was about to accept his offer, but I thought back to the reason why I was here.

"I'm sorry, Adam. I can't any time soon....my brother needs me here," I said sadly.

"Nicole, please. When I saw you at the concert, I...I immediately wanted to know you and those feelings grew when I found you at the diner. Yes, I came all the way to Florida to give you back your phone, but really, I came to see you. I know we're practically strangers, but I want to change that. Please, give me a chance," Adam begged, trying to change my mind.

Should I? I really need to be here for Heath; not to mention, I just got here. He said 'sometime' though; so it doesn't have to be today. Think about it.......you most likely will never get this chance ever again.

"Ok," I replied, making up my mind, "I'll go to dinner with you."

Adam smiled. God, I love his smile. Stop it Nicole!
