His Redemption (MxM)

Chapter 85

Luke

Adriano and I made it back to our hotel suite after we left Spade's engagement party, I was pretty tired and exhausted, and I was still thinking about Adriano promising Spade that we would wait two more days.
It's not as if I don't want to stay, but I just... I don't feel comfortable being around Hewitt, especially now that he sort of confessed to liking me.

What am I supposed to do with that?
How am I supposed to deal with that?
I know I don't love Adriano, but I care about him, and he makes me happy, so why now?
Why did Hewitt decide that now was the best time to tell me this?

I didn't bother taking off my clothes as I flopped on the bed with a heavy sigh, I was mentally and physically exhausted.
I still have to tell Adriano about Hewitt, the last thing I want is to keep secrets from him.
We're not exclusive yet, but I respect and cherish what we share, I would not want to be the reason it ends.

I suddenly felt a weight on me, and when I opened my eyes, Adriano was laying down on me, his legs in between mine, as he lowered his face and kissed my neck, he pulled away and looked at me
"Are you okay"? He asked and I sighed out heavily and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm just exhausted is all" I muttered out

"Are you still thinking about what I told Spade"? He asked and I quickly shook my head, yes I'm thinking about that, but not right now "you know if you really don't feel like staying, we can leave, right now" I shook my head vigorously

"No, it's okay, I do want to stay, I mean I've missed New York, I've missed Stefano, I just...." I paused and sighed out

"Then what are you thinking about"? He asked and I bit my lips and looked at him, I felt like he knew something was off with me and he was giving me a chance to tell him, and I don't want to lie to him, not when he's this kind, nice and caring, people like that don't deserve to be cheated on, or lied to.
I wanted to ask him right now if Stefano was right and he's in love with me, but I knew deep down I don't want to know if he does, because then I'd feel much worse because I don't feel that way for him.

"I spoke to Hewitt earlier tonight" I blurted out and I was expecting him to frown, or show some sort of angry emotion, but he just laid on top of me, just staring at me, as if he was waiting for me to add something to what I just said.

"What did he say"? He asked softly, and I think that surprised me even more than I thought my confession to him would surprise him.
I could easily just lie right now, tell him he didn't say anything important, or I can just tell him the truth, even though it might hurt him.

"He likes me" I whispered out, and I watched him smile softly at me, it wasn't much, but I wasn't expecting him to smile at me.

"He likes you"? He mumbled out "and what did you tell him"? He asked and I just frowned, before I shrugged

"What do you think I told him"? I retorted back and Adriano just shrugged

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you" he muttered out, I didn't like the way he was reacting to this, if I were him, I'd react differently, so why is he so chill about it all.

"Aren't you mad"? I blurted out, and he just frowned before he looked at me again

"Am I supposed to be mad"? He asked and I sighed out, and looked away from him, sometimes it's hard to understand Adriano and what goes on in his mind, he reacts differently to things than most people I know and met
"Is that why you said we couldn't stay a few more days"? He asked "because Hewitt confessed to liking you? Do you want to be with him"? He asked and I frowned, staring into his eyes, he didn't seem to be joking and the way he was staring at me, he was waiting for a serious answer.
