Chapter 47 - Dinner

--- Adriens pov ---

"Hi" I said after I opened the door. He just smiled back at me as I took in how he looked. Black jeans and a red flannel. God he looked hot.

"Hi Adrien can I come in?" Alex asked as I just nodded before moving to the side.

We had become quick friends since that day Ashton called me to talk to him. I didn't know at the time what I was getting myself into but he slowly opened up to me. He didn't name anyone that hurt him but that was probably for the best. I would kill who ever hurt Alex.

if time reset and I got a option to choose a different path... I would still choose this one. Alex has also become a permanent member of my mind. I haven't felt love since George so this was new to me all over again. So in a sense we were helping each other. He knows my past and I know parts of his.

Melody had also given me a long list of dos and dont's as well like "don't flirt with Ashtons or the guys friends" to "don't sleep with my lawyer Adrien" like she even had to tell me. I saw the ring on his finger so I know hes either engaged or married. Yes I slept with married men in paris but that was completely different. They came onto me. Also Alex isn't her lawyer so technically I'm not breaking Melody's rules.

"So what do you have planned for tonight" Alex asked before taking a seat on Ashton's sofa. I then noticed how he was bouncing on the sofa as he spoke. I knew it was to distract his mind. He was still worried around others. I swear I will personally kill the person that hurt Alex. I would pop his head like a pimple. I wou-

"Adrien are you gonna tell me or do I have to guess"

"Oh right! Well I have to finish cooking dinner so you can watch tv if you want. You can even use Melodys netlfix and Disney plus. She gave me permission" I explained before handing the remote to him. It wasn't a complete lie.... it was a lie. I wanted Alex to feel comfortable tonight. I wanted him to have fun. So I will take the wrath that is Melody for him.

"So the burning smell is dinner"

I stared at him in disbelief. I wasn't that bad at cooking. I can make pizza, burgers, spaghetti and meatballs, fish and chips. I could make anything. I'm a pretty good cook.

"What burning smell? There isn't a burni-SHIT" I shouted as the fire alarm started blaring loudly. I quickly ran into the kitchen with Alex behind me as I saw the smoke coming from the oven and the frying pan. Fuck sake!

"Open a window" I ordered before putting the oven mitts on. Alex quickly nodded before doing what I asked. I then picked up the frying pan and chucked it into the sink before opening the oven door. I then picked up the tray and quickly threw it into the sink as well before turning the tap on. Was it a good idea? Probably not. Was I smart? Most defiently not. Was tonight going to be shit now? One hundred percent yes.

"I wanted dinner to go well tonight and I fucked that up. I'm a massive fuck up. FUCK ME!" I shouted before kicking a cupboard. I probably broke a toe or something but I didn't care. I fucked up dinner. I thought putting it to the max temperature would make it cook faster. God I'm a idiot.

"Your not a fuck up Adrien. This isn't even the worst date I've had" Alex said before I felt his arms wrap around me or try too. I know he was referring to his last boyfriend. The one that hurt him that I wamna kill.

"But this was meant to give you the courage to date again... to date me cause for some reason you are always on my fucking mind"

"Adrien are you telling me that yo-"

"Yes I love you Alex not for pity but because I've fallen for you. You made me feel love again" I answered as Alex just smiled at me. He then stood on his tip toes and kissed me. I was shocked for a second before I snapped out of it and kissed him back. His arms finding their way around my neck while mine found their way around his waist. It felt different than when I kissed the other men. It felt better, special... amazing.
