His girl

Chapter 11

Adrian gazes lovingly at the girl in his arms, feeling more protective and appreciative of her than ever before. He had a newfound understanding of the strength his girl possesses and how strong she is for still having a soft heart full of love and kindness despite all the lemons life has thrown her way. At that moment, he fell in love with her all over again. He not only fell in love with her all over again but she had also earned a whole new level of respect and admiration from him. He had never imagined that she had gone through such a tumultuous past. She was such a confident, independent woman that no one could have thought that of her. Even with her Bipolar Disorder, she didn't rely on anyone. Adrian and the rest of her friends helped her because they didn't wanna see her suffer alone but before they came into her life she was used to going it alone. The level of courage that must have taken is beyond Adrian. 

 After these traumatic revelations, Katie felt like the weight of the world was lifted off her shoulders. She had finally revealed her past to Adrian. She was confident that this revelation was one of the best decisions she'd ever made. She knew that her life would change drastically, but this time in a good way. Adrian would never let her get hurt again. Her love for Adrian only increased to another threshold seeing the depth of his empathy, sensitivity, and attentiveness when it comes to her. The depth of his love for her had always found a way to hear shattered heart, like a balm to her wounded soul, his presence was healing. He understood her like no one else could, and for that, she's eternally grateful. He keeps talking about how Katie changed him into an entirely new person but he barely knows the impact she's had on Katy's life. They met when Katie hit rock bottom, she had just been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and her family only added to her misery. She was at a point where she was contemplating following her mother's footsteps. She had lost her will to live. That's when Adrian came into her life like an angel and her life became blissful. With him by her side, she was certain she could get through anything life had to throw at her.

The next day was a Monday so obviously they had to go to university. Adrian, Emma, and Katie went to their college in Adrian's car. When they reached campus the 3 of them parted ways, and Katie ran off to her class to find her bestie. Before class started, she shared with Stacey that she had finally worked up the courage and told Adrian everything there was to know about her past. Stacey gave her a reassuring smile and a comforting pat on the back and told her that she was immensely proud of her. The day went by in a flash and soon Adrian and Katie headed back to Adrian's car. They were going to be alone in his tonight as Adrian's parents and sister were away. Emma was at her boyfriend, Ross's place for the next few days as it was his birthday week and Emma wanted to spend time with him.

Katie decided to put her culinary skills to use and cooked Adrian's favorite meal- Chicken Alfredo. Adrian watched in fascination as Katie chopped the ingredients with such panache. He watched as she so effortlessly cooked the dish and set it on the dining table, pairing it with a glass of Grüner Veltliner which pairs well with cream-based pasta dishes. Adrian and Katie sat down to eat. Adrian took the first bite and savored it. He savored each texture and flavor with every mouthful. Adrian took Katie's hand in his, expressing his gratitude for the scrumptious dish that he savored till there was not even a morsel remaining. It was the best chicken alfredo he had ever eaten. He felt so lucky to have Katie. She is the whole package. Adrian's parents once told him that they just know Katie is going to be the girl he'll marry one day. They were so right. Adrian wants nothing more than to marry this girl and step into a beautiful future filled with love and joy.

After 2 hours of chit-chatting and joking around with each other, Adrian leaned in closer and closer to Katie. Her cheeks flushed at the proximity. He cupped her cheeks with his huge hands and brought her into a passionate kiss. As the kiss got heated up, he pulled her onto his lap and deepened the kiss. There was no tongue involved, just passionate lip-locks and sucking. Their heartbeats synchronized as they continued kissing each other with fervor. Their bodies mold into each other. Katie ran her hands through Adrian's soft locks of hair pulling him even closer to her. Adrian stood up, carrying her koala-style, never once breaking the kiss as he brought her to the room. He laid her down on the bed gently still not breaking the kiss. He pulled away for air and started kissing her neck softly.  He made his way down to her chest, placing soft kisses on her cleavage. She moaned in pleasure. After a passionate make-out session, Adrian laid his head on Katie's chest, taking in her sweet scent as he listened to her heartbeat. As Katie caresses his hair softly, he snuggles more into her chest, seeking more of her warmth. They fall asleep, locked in each other's embrace. For the first time in a long time, Katie didn't wake up crying hysterically, and breathing heavily, she slept peacefully through the night with the love of her life in her arms.
