IT ALL STARTED IN HIGH SCHOOL

A New Rhythm Of The Heart.

I turned in bed. Something is behind me holding me close. I quickly turned around. Adam. But when did he get here. His face looks so peaceful and calm. His gentle manner shows even when he sleeps. I stare at him long and hard. I can feel my heart racing. He is doing so much to me. I am enjoying it. "Good morning beautiful." His eyes matches mine. How long has he been looking at me without me realizing. "When did you get here?" I asked instead of answering his compliment. "When I heard you scream for help. I couldn't just leave you like that." He explains caressing my face. For some reason I feel safe with this man. "Oh. I thought I stopped having the nightmares." I sat up in bed and replies. "Hey its ok. It means you haven't gotten over the fear that maniac put you through. But its ok. You're safe." He says and plants a kiss on my lips. I returned his kiss.
We stare at each other for a while then my phone ringing cut our trance.

"Hey Shawn. Whats up? Yeah. Am ok. Just looking forward to getting back on my feet and back to work. How did the play turn out?" I ask looking at Adam. He smiles at me and plays with my hair. As the conversation goes on Adam leave the room. Shawn and I talked a few more minutes. As I end the call Adam returns with a tray holding breakfast and a rose. This man just never ceases to amaze me. "Whats this?" I joked. "Well I didn't want to disturb you and your call so I made myself busy. Here you are my lady." He grins and hands me the tray in bed. He made egg omelet, fried bacon and toast bread along with some orange juice.
I must admit there is nothing not to love about Adam. As I start to eat he sits looking at me. I take a bacon put it in my mouth and tell him to take a bite. He didn't even hesitate to do this. As he bites down our lips meets. He kisses me. I blushed a bit. He looks at me as if I am the only girl in the world. His smile says it all.
After I finished he takes the tray to leave. "Adam.....thank you for everything. I don't think I will ever be able to thank you enough for all this." I walked over to him and replied. He looks down on me and I look up at him. We just stayed there looking at each other. I hugged him. I wanted to tell him I am leaving soon but for some reason the timing is just not right. I stayed there. He puts the tray on the bed and hugs me.

The hug slowly turns into a tickle. Who knew Adam could play. I tried wiggling free but he hold me in place and continues to tickle me. I laughed hard. I tried tickling him but he seems immune to each touch. We played around on the bed. "Vanessa I don't want what happened between us last night to stop. I believe that if given the chance we can work." He looks into my eyes after pinning my hands over my head on the bed. I wanted to say yes but my heart keeps giving me a fight. Caleb. My thoughts now moves to him. I don't know what to do. Caleb's my first. He loves me. But now this. Adam is falling in love with me. I feel something for him but I can't put a name on it. Adam kisses me. "Please think about it ok." He says and releases my hands and leaves the room taking the tray with him.

I stayed in that position for a while. Thinking over everything. My phone rings. "Hey babe." Caleb says. "Hi. What's up?" I ask. "I just want to hear your voice. I miss you so much. I can't wait to hold you in my arms again." He emphasized. However for some reason I don't feel moved by his words. "Me too." I backed him up saying. We talked and talked for a while.

I joined Adam in the living room and we talked alot more. I stare at him in silence for a while. "Am leaving this weekend." I tell him watching the smile leave his lips. I feel awful watching this happen. "Oh ok. Ugh well I guess there is no convincing you to stay. Just remember that you can always come here. Consider mi casa es tu casa." He responds. I feel my heart sink after saying this to him. What's worse I am about to tell him where I will be staying. "I got a place from Caleb. He offered me one of his condo. I think it's best to try living by myself again for now." I put this main reason as a lame excuse for running back to Caleb. I should be happy right now but inside me hurts so much. "Whatever you choose to do I support you. I don't want you to go Vanessa." He exclaims. Dammit. Why is my heart racing for him over and over again.
