It had been a week since the Bruce thing happened and almost two weeks since we arrived in Scotland which meant we would be back in New York in a week. Things had been going pretty well. We had become pretty good at the whole pretending thing. We found ourselves naturally touching each other. We became more comfortable with kisses even though there weren't many. We were having a great time. Julia forgot about what happened with Bruce and she was happier. Little Lily and Charlotte had gone back to the U.S. Because Charlotte had to work and now it was just Adam's parents and us.
Julia and I were sitting on the porch while Adam and his dad took care of the barbecue. I was watching him. I would be dumb if I wasn't, the dude was shirtless and he had a SnapBack on so obviously as a female who has eyes I was staring. Adam looked back at me and smiled so I waved and stuck my tongue out at him as he laughed.
"You two are adorable." I heard Julia say, a smile laced on her voice. I looked back at her and grinned a little. "He loves you, you know?" My heart beat faster upon hearing those words. "He looks at you the same way I looked at his dad. He's so in love with you, darling. I'm so happy for you." She said, kissing my head before standing up and walking inside the house.
Did he love me? No, I would've known, maybe he's just really good at pretending. Is it possible? Oh god, his mom said that. Why would she say that? I want to throw up because I'm feeling too many things. It's impossible. I would have known by now. It's Adam. He's my best friend. He's not in love with me. Is he? No no stop it.
"Taylor!" I heard his voice and looked up to find his green eyes looking down on me. "What's up with you? I've called you like five times." He laughed.
"Nothing, I'm fine." I offered him a small smile. "What is it?"
"The food is ready so you can get your ass to the table." He told me as he took me by the hand. We walked to the table and sat down.
"When are you going back to back to New York?" Richard asked.
"On Saturday morning." Adam answered. "We'll leave pretty early in the morning." He added.
"I'm going to miss you so much, sweethearts." Julia told us, her eyes filling with tears.
"Mom, we'll visit soon and you can come to New York if you want too." Adam smiled at her.
"I want you to be careful. New York can be dangerous from what I've heard." She warned us making me laugh a little. She told us the same thing when we first left for New York. That day was amazing. Getting settled in our new apartment, all by ourselves for the first time was beautiful. New York gives you this feeling of liberation like you can do anything you want and be whoever you want and no one will judge you for it.
"Mom, we've lived in New York for five years. I think we know the city." He laughed, his hand resting on my leg, his fingers rubbing the fabric of my jeans.
Later that day, we were all alone in the bedroom as Adam's parents went to bed.
"Okay, this just a question out of pure curiosity." I nodded my head as we laid in bed. "Have you ever like though about...how do I put this? Doing it with me?" He questioned.
"Like sexually?" He nodded his head. We had been asking each other weird questions for the last ten minutes. We did a lot of stupid things and this was one of them but this conversation turned into something I had not expected. "Maybe like once or twice. Why? Have you?" I smirked at him. He stayed silent blushing a little. It was kind of adorable. "Oh my god, you have! How often?" I laughed.
"You can't blame me! I live with you and you're an attractive female and I happen to have a penis." He told me, shaking his head as I died of laughter.
"Have you ever...you know got it up because of me?" I asked him, trying to contain my laughter. This was information I wanted to know so I could torture him. "Oh no. I have?"
"Just once. When you fell in the bathtub and you got wet and you were wearing that white t shirt and you weren't wearing a bra." He explained making me laugh again. "I could literally see your boobs. Any guy or girl who's attracted to the female sex would be turned on by that." He said and I was unable to stop laughing.
"Does that mean I can do it anytime I want?" I smirked, still giggling.
"No, that's a hard no, Taylor." He pointed his finger at me. "It'll leave me very uncomfortable and I'll make sure you regret it."
"Ooh, big bad Adam is coming for me." I teased him a she rolled his eyes and came closer to me. He wiggled his fingers on my sides. I was extremely ticklish and he often took advantage of that. "No, A, stop it." I squealed as he laughed. Our laughter died down soon and he was still on top of me. He moved his face closer to mine and pressed his forehead on my own. "What are you doing?" I asked breathless.
"I don't know." He said before crashing his lips against mine.
