Adam

Grace:

"Have you had any sleep at all lovely?" I asked
"Not at all tbh...how about you?" Adam replied
"Nah was too busy daydreaming about the coffee's taste with you around"
"Huhhhh are you flirting with me miss"
"Sorry didn't notice the sign of *no flirting...no touch" *he grinned*
We had our coffees and talked about random things like our fav artists
He said "mmmmm I guess Conan Gray, lana del Rey and harry styles you?"
"Let me think...Chase Atlantic, the neighbourhood and my babe Zayn Malik"
We also talked about art and ballet and it was then when that crazy idea popped inside my head
"Wanna skip class? I mean we have been A level kids for so long how about a bit of rebellion"
"I_I have never skipped any class in my life and where in the hell will we go at 7 at the fucking morning"
"I have a place....a very secretive place!!"
"Have you done that before..is it safe"
"Skipping classes is my habit bro...I used to skip history classes to get ice cream and I was only 11 years old"
"Dammit you are one lucky bitch if you haven't gotten caught"
I couldn't help but laugh so hard. I noticed his face turn  red and his ears were burning istg...that was cute tbh.
We paid for the coffee and I got us an uber. I can't recall if I have ever invited anyone to that place ...only Alex when we want to have one of those sneaky nights and Margot whenever she isn't with Mia. It has been my secret spot since grade five.
"Here we are"
"It looks like one of those haunted houses are you sure about that?"
"It's an abandoned house for two abandoned people that the world has left behind"
"Have you ever considered being a poet?"
"Never touching a pen with these fingers never"
"So what exactly are we supposed to do now?"
"Dance! Listen to one of your cheeky playlists...have some fun dude"
"I don't dance...and don't you dare and call my playlists cheeky"
"Ok your honour...I will teach how to dance I believe under that over sized grandpa sweater a waist that's gonna slay those dancing moves"
I showed him the way and he played "love in the dark" by Adele
We got so close I could feel his warm breath against my collarbone...his sweet sugary smell...he smelled like nicely washed clothes. He struggled with the moves at the beginning but we soon got to it...I let him grab a hold of my waist as I started taking his hands in mine...we were in our own separate universe as we danced....his touch was gentle nothing like the other boys who used to slow dance with me. I loved how he closes his eyes and breath softly. That boy has something about him that reminds me of Alex...Alex is way more confident and sociable than him though...but they are both  gentle with a woman and never won't to take smth from her that she's not willing to give. I felt safe around him. He moved his hand a bit to lay it on my back so smooth and tender.
I closed my eyes too and forgot all the trouble in the world. Songs of his playlist begin playing one after one the other...we slowed dance for what felt like an hour...my legs were burning now that I left my body rest against his and he took hold of it carefully , helping me keep my balance as we went on dancing....And then "shake it off" by Taylor Swift began...I grinned and left his arms to show him how the real moves work ...he started to laugh so loudly as I was shaking it off.
We both got too tired from all the dancing so I decided to invite him to my house for brownies. I called Margot to check if we have all the ingredients.
"Hey babes what's up?" She said
"I am inviting a friend over....hopefully I won't find any of your scattered lingerie"
"Dammit Gee I am not in the mood for cleaning up...anyways is that friend a he or a she...it's not like it matters they can be whoever they want to be as long as they are hot yk"
"Can you shut your mouth up for once and yes it's a he and hot"
"Bet Alex is hitting the walls now"
"It's not like that!"
"If you say so...so u just called to ask about my lingerie or what"
"Do we have enough eggs, butter and milk?"
"I think so ...if u two bastards aren't gone devour our entire house"
"No more words...will be there in 10 mins"

On our way home, he looked so nervous, I assured him that he will like Margot
"She is very talkative and can say the dumbest things sometimes...tbh that's what I like about her as she has no covers"
"Hopefully we will get along"
"And here she is"
She was in her black plaid skirt and the argyle sweater that I got her for Christmas. Her hair was up.
"HOLA AMIGOS!" she shouted
Adam was just eyeing her from top to bottom
"So who is that Hottie Gee"
"I'm Adam..and u must be-"
He couldn't even complete the sentence when she rushed in saying
"Margot...I go by Mags ,Margo or even Meg whatever u are comfortable with....btw I like the name Adam ..it's a Hebrew name right?"
"MAR_GOT what have I said earlier about shutting your goddamn mouth"
"O I was just trying to be friendly anyways get ur asses in I got everything ready for whatever baking project u two are willing to start"
"I am so sorry about her behaviour"
"Nah u kinda warned me earlier about it plus I find her so amusing"
"See even your hot amigo thinks I am cool"
                   Can't lie she can be so useful sometimes....she cleaned the house and put everything in place and also got all the ingredients ready in the kitchen.
As we got in the kitchen she disappeared into my room...thank God no more second hand embarrassment will be caused by her.
"You know how to cook right?" I asked
"Who said so?"
"Shit and I was about to count on u"
"Never do it!"
"Just look up the ingredients on Google"
He grabbed his phone and began instructing me and suddenly Margot came back
"Hey kids how is ur project going?"
"Not so smoothly" he said
"Let me play u some music to hype u up.....Alexaaaaa!!!! PLAY "BLOW YOUR MIND" BY DUA LIPA"
"Do u really have to shout?"
"My bad hopefully I didn't scare ur mec"
She returned to the room
"How many languages can she speak?" He asked
"Dw she just know two or three words from each...she is fluent at Italian though ....her Italian gf taught her all"
"Ohhhh she has a gf....lucky she gets someone to cope with her"
"Hey I cope with her better than anyone"
"Are u jealous?!"
"Ofc I am not I am happy for her though that bitch Mia kept her away from me!! we started to barely talk and I only see her on holidays"
"U sure u aren't jealous...u are literally turning red...yk it's ok to be jealous"
"SHUT THE EFF UP!!"
"Come on admit it!!!"
As I was going to hit him with the wooden spoon my elbow hit the bowl of ingredients and it scattered on the floor...I found myself slipping so I gripped his apron and we both fell on the flower ....we laughed so hard until we were breathless...as I was trying to get up the flour bag fell on top of both of our heads. I was now on top of him covered in flour and brownies dough
Minutes later Margot came rushing in.
"Jesus kids wtf happened in here"
We were so red from laughing and his eyes were tearing up...
