Loving Mr. Liverpool

Chapter 2

I finished getting ready just in time and headed out into the kitchen (Outfit linked.) It also serves as the dining room because it has an island. Joe said they don't usually have company so they don't really need one anyway. 

"Mhm, smells good.", I said.

"Yeah it does.", Joe gave a little chuckle.

Just then, a guy, who I assume is Adam, comes out. I'm not gonna lie, he is extremely attractive. He has messy brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. He was wearing a plain white shirt with khaki shorts. The shirt outlined his abs perfectly. Wow. 

"Maya, this is Adam. Adam, my little sister Maya.", Joe says as he introduces us.

Adam reaches out and wants a handshake. I put my hand in his and automatically felt sparks. He must've felt it too because his chocolatey eyes got really wide.

I break the silence, "Nice to meet you, Adam. Joe has told me a lot about you."

"Yeah nice to meet you too, Maya."Then, there was an awkward pause. 

"So, who's ready for food!?", Joe says as he breaks the silence. 

 We all grab our food. Joe and Adam start talking about football. I'm pretty sure I stared at Adam the whole time. Can you blame me, though? I'm pretty sure Adam looked at me a few times too. 

"Can I be excused?", I say.

"Maya, this isn't mom and dad's house. You don't have to be excused from dinner, dummy." 

"Blah.", I say as I throw my takeaway container in the trash. 

"Don't forget your fortune cookie.", Adam says. 

"Thanks." I pick up the cookie and make my way to my room. 

I enter my room and close the door behind me. I then sit down on the chair in the corner of the room and turn on the TV. 

About 10 minutes later, I hear Joe shout, "I'm gonna grab a shower!" 

I then heard a knock on my door. 

"Come in, Joseph.", I say, but to my surprise, it's actually Adam.

"Sorry, I'm not Joe.", he says, as he chuckles. 

"Oh, shit sorry. Come on in.", I say as I laugh too. 

I then get up to greet Adam. When I get to Adam, he grabs my hand and entwines it in his big hands. WHAT IS HAPPENING? 

"You're beautiful.", Adam says as he stares into my eyes. 

I like Adam. Believe me. He's gorgeous, but Joe would kill both of us. I'm 19. He's 25. That's a 6 year age difference.

"Look, Adam, I like you, but think about Joe. He'd be pissed if anything happened between us. I'm 6 years younger than you as well." 

"I know. You're right."

"Thank you for respecting my brother enough to stay away." 

"No problem. Did you read your fortune cookie by the way?", Adam asks. 

I look down at the bed. "No, I haven't haha."

"Aww, well, mine said, "Go for what you want. It will work out." That was obviously wrong. Anyway, I'll talk to you later.", Adam said as he left the room. He honestly looked heartbroken, but this just can't happen. I'm as sad as he is to be honest.

I lay down on the bed next to the cookie and open it.

"Love always finds a way."
