When we leave the Casino an hour later. We pile back into the vehicles, and head back towards Adrian's penthouse.
"Hey mate I have a question" Nico ask from the back seat of the car. Adrian then glances in the rear view mirror, and back down to the road.
"Why does everyone state it instead of speaking just ask Nico" Adrian says making a turn.
"Can we stay at your penthouse, all of us, my parents villa isn't Riley and Hunter proof so they didn't let us stay there".
"Sure, also tomorrow morning we all need to go out and get our suits, and for the girl's dresses for the event in two days" Adrian says taking another corner.
"Should we match" I muse looking over at Adrian.
"Only if you want" he says.
As we near Odeon Tower I look in the back to see Kate is asleep against Nico who seems to be pleased with Kate being comfortable leaning against him.
"I'll let you take the ground bedroom so you're not carrying my sister up multiple flights of stairs" Adrian says pulling into the garage.
When he parks I push open the door, and get out before walking away towards the elevator while Adrian follows spinning his keys.
The doors then opened and we all got in Riley hit the top button, and the car began to rise to the fortieth floor. Again the doors opened and we all walked out with Nico carrying Kate away towards the ground floor bedroom.
"Adrian do you want a drink".
"No, I'm likely going to end up drinking and socializing at the Gala" Adrian says unbuttoning his jacket, and walking away to head upstairs.
I don't doubt that.
I then follow him up the spiral stairs until getting off on the top floor and walking through the top floor lounge towards our shared bedroom that occupied half of the fifth floor.
Adrian had already pushed open the door and when I entered I saw his clothes were already removed and discarded into his laundry bin while he again left the wooden bathroom doors open where he stood in the shower with the water running over his toned back creating steam that fogged the glass up to the top of his waist.
I then close the door giving him privacy and walk over to the window to the left of the room that gave a view of Monaco and in the pier I could see Adrian's yacht making everything around it seem small.
After a moment I walked into the closet to take off the clothing that I had worn to the casino and got into the abnormally large bed.
Why he needs a bed that could cover Asia I don't know.
After ten more minutes he emerges and walks over to his side of the bed.
"You look like you are in thought" he says.
"Yes I am, I'm thinking about what life must be like living here for most of the year" I admit, because the whole time we've been in Monaco I have thought about what it must be like living here.
"Expensive a tiny shit box apartment is over two million here, people often choose to live in France because no one except the rich can live in Monaco comfortably".
"Seems unjust".
"There's a dark side to everything beautiful".
"Yes there is we're perfect examples" I say looking over at him to see his hands are folded on his defined torso.
Silence follows blanketing our room like the shadows of the night.
"I used to have nightmares of the night my parents died" Adrian says out of the blue looking over at me.
"How long did that happen?".
"Eighteen months, I would wake up in the middle of the night scared and panicked after seeing my parents for the last time like that, it was obvious it was who it was but still I had to identify them, they only stopped once I started to get my life back in order when I found ways to work past my past now I'm the happiest I've been my whole life because now I have you and out of everything losing you scares the absolute shit out of me, I can't lose you again ever" Adrian says, and in his nearly black eyes I could see all the pain he felt even thinking about losing me.
"I can't lose you either Adrian it scared me more then I ever thought was possible when I was kidnapped that I might never see you again, and again when you got in a car accident".
"It will take a lot more then that to separate us, I will find you no matter what, I'm only leaving you when I die then I can find you again".
This brings a smile to my face and I can see him return it.
"How does that Wuthering Heights quote go?".
"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same" Adrian recites.
"You read that book?".
"My family is old of course I have, literature and piano were the cornerstones of my childhood".
"More we have in common just I didn't start to have an interest in playing piano until I was like twelve" I say.
"And by then I had been playing for four years, odd to think I've been playing on my own for almost eleven years".
"Show off" I mutter and I hear him scoff.
"You wish that were true" he says.
"Then tell me something that is true" I muse.
"When people make me nervous I say things I don't mean like I've said I love math when really I just enjoy the challenge of the subject".
"When was that?".
"Savannah" Adrian replies "she was a transfer student from Deptford New Jersey".
"What was she like in the beginning of your relationship" I ask and I see him smirk slightly as if reminiscing.
"She made me feel better when my parents died and was there for me, she was also funny, and seemed similar to me when we dated nothing really changed until I had a depressive episode, and we had our first argument over something stupid but it was just arguing and making up over and over again each week, until that night she came to my house".
"Just so you know I'll never throw champagne at your cars if we argue".
"That's good it's really hard to get off of glass".
Only Adrian Winters would make a joke about something like that.
"I need sleep" he adds looking over at me again then up at the ceiling.
"Then go to sleep" I say scooting close to him because I learned that he only goes to sleep after I have when we are in the same bed.
"Goodnight mia bella regazza I love you".
Goodnight Adrian. I love you too.
That was a better update time then yesterday, I hope you enjoyed it, comment, vote, and share. Anyways
Peace✌
