Don't Deny The Animal (Preying On You Tonight) - A Maroon 5/Adam Levine Fic

Chapter 16

Adam practically fell out of the car in his rush to get inside, whilst I laughed at him.

"I WON!" He shouted, jumping up and down in celebration.

"You bet you did." I giggled, getting out the car like a normal person.

"I did. You can see. He isn't here and I am." He smiled triumphantly and headed inside, holding my hand in his.

"Well done babe." I was trying not to laugh anymore, that'll just provoke him. Blake and Pharrell were sat on the sofa chatting away when we walked in.

"I WON!" Adam cheered, they just looked confused.

"We get it Adam." I rolled my eyes at him and took a seat on the empty sofa, Adam was still doing his victory dance when the boys walked in.

"If it isn't my favourite girl." Jesse laughed and gave me a hug.

"Hey Jesse."

"In your face! I beat you." Adam told Jesse.

"Well done dude, I didn't know we were racing but well done." During this time PJ and James had taken up either side of me. Mickey and Matt were on the ends.

"So, how you feeling about today?" James asked.

"There's a positive vibe in the room and I'm feeling good." Truth be told I'm worried about Adam, he's particularly fragile right now and the smallest thing will push him over the edge.

"Alright, how come you get all these guests?" Blake asked looking over at Adam.

"Friends. You gotta have some." Adam teased. "I don't know, I just bring them along and hope they don't get kicked out." A pillow hit him in the face and he chuckled a little. "Whoever did that is an asshole." He looked over and saw James doubled over with laughter. "I'll get you back Valentine. Just you wait and see."

"As much as I love watching you fight, you should chillax a little Adam." I glared at Jesse, he suddenly nodded and sent out a text to the boys, who thankfully didn't all check at the same time.

"Well. I need a drink. Anyone?" Mickey offered.

"I'll come help." James jumped up to join him, most of the guys left. In the end it was just Adam, Blake, Pharrell and I. I was beginning to get comfortable when Christina sauntered in, she always rubs Adam up the wrong way.

"Morning lovers." I somehow managed to restrain the eye roll.

"Morning Christina." Adam smiled at her, she instantly bounced her way over to Adam and they started talking away. The dislike must have been pretty obvious.

"She ain't stealin' him from ya." Blake whispered.

"What?"

"Christina. She's just like that. Anyways Adam loves you too much for that." He explained.

"Sure. I know, you're right." With that I got up and headed into the kitchen, Jesse instantly pulled me into a group hug.

"Hey, I saw who just went in. It'll all be okay." He assured me.

"Thanks Jesse." I chuckled.

"Now, Adam...."

"Yeah, well, he's being very open at the moment and I think the slightest push could break him. He's fragile, opening his heart to me and we all know that Adam can get touchy, I don't want the other side to break out and ruin all the hard work. Adam will feel like shit again."

"I get you. We can try and keep him calm and reduce stressful situations." James agreed.

"GET OFF ME!" Adam roared, with a horrified look shared between us all we hurried in. Christina was on the floor, Adam looked really angry and the others looked a mix of scared and confused.
