Falling Together

Chapter 12 (Lily)

I let out a deep sigh once Adrian and I reached the door step to his apartment.

Adrian: "Well, this is it."

This was the first time I'd even seen it. The car ride from his parents' house was tense. I couldn't stop thinking of a younger Adrian, with his gorgeous eyes and perfect smile, being the ladies man his dad talked about. He opened the door to his apartment, and silently waited for my reaction. I took a quick glance at his modern two-bedroom apartment and came back to face Adrian. He was looking at me with worrisome eyes as if expecting me to hate it or be upset. He could always read my mind. We both knew this tension wasn't about my opinion on the apartment.

Adrian: "I'm sorry about what my father said."

Lily: "It's okay, I just want to forget about it."

Adrian: "No, you have to understand that that was the old me. I was young and stupid and didn't understand the meaning of love."

Lily: "How many?"

Adrian: "Please don't make me answer that."

I turn around and start to walk out of his apartment, when he grabs my arm and in defeat answers back "seven." I was shocked and was honestly expecting a bigger number. Not that having seven different girls come and go in his life didn't make me mad and a little bit jealous. Who am I kidding? Extremely jealous.

Adrian: "Please say something."

I didn't realize I hadn't moved or even spoken.

Lily: "Seven? I thought your dad said you had different girls every night?"

I rolled my eyes as I let out what was on my mind.

Adrian: "Well, they just came back and would show up at my door step, and as a hormonal teen I didn't exactly reject their offers."

I thought about all of this, and it made me angrier thinking of all these girls throwing themselves at him.

Adrian: "Lily?"

I gritted my teeth, trying to contain my anger.

Lily: "What do you want me to say? That I'm okay with this, because I'm not. I don't want to be one of those girls, ready for a hook up. I don't want to be the eight or the ninth. I don't want to be just some girl."

Adrian: "Don't ever say that Lily! Do you hear me? Don't you ever say that you are just some girl or some random hook up to me. Lily you are the most genuine girl I've ever met and if there's someone out there who doesn't see that, then they are completely blind. I couldn't even look away from you tonight. That dress! It made me think of so many things that I shouldn't be thinking in my parent's home. You don't know how turned on I was. You aren't my eight or ninth, you are my one and only one."

I love him so much; the way he furrows his eyebrows together when he's yelling and trying to make me listen to him. I can't help but feel butterflies when he talks to me that way. I look down at his pants and I can see that I've definitely made an effect on him. I smirk at him and I wrap his shirt in my fists, pull him in, and kiss him. I could tell I surprised him by the way he froze when our lips met, but quickly he relaxed and brought his hands to my lower back pulling me closer to him. I kissed him hard, trying to get rid of all the anger and jealousy I was holding in at hearing the mention of all the girls Adrian used to be with.

He seemed too sweet and perfect to ever have been a player, like his father described. Maybe, he wasn't this nice to every girl he was with. Maybe he has changed, because if he was like this before I can't imagine anyone who would've let him go. How could I have been so lucky? Why did he choose me? I mean what makes me so special? As if reading my mind,

Adrian: "Lily, you are different. You are it for me."

And with that he lowered his left hand to grip me through my dress, and his right hand behind my neck to pull me in closer. He's giving me all of him. I could feel so much passion in this kiss and pushed aside my previous thoughts. He loosened his tie and started unbuttoning his shirt while trailing kisses down my neck and to my chest. I push his shirt down his arms and then pull away to quickly step out of my dress. Every kiss sent a shiver through me. Adrian loved me, he told me so when he came after me in the rain.

He dipped his head down to my neck and started sucking lightly by my ear, probably leaving a mark that I'll deal with tomorrow. He slid his tongue across my cheek and back, tracing the dimples on my face as I smiled.

Adrian: "I love these dimples." He said with a raspy voice and I lost every breath that was left in my body. I started loosening his belt and he grabbed my wrists stopping me.

Adrian: "Are you sure about this?"

Lily: "With you, I'm always sure."

As if something clicked inside him, his hands were on his belt quickly undoing it. He stepped out of his jeans and wrapped his arms around me, lifting me up and I instinctively wrapped my legs around him. He carried me towards his room and pushed me against his door kissing me hard before opening it. He laid me on his bed and traced kisses from my navel back to my mouth. I started to flush once I felt his arousal rubbing against me.

He captures my face in his hands and says "Do you believe me when I say you are the most gorgeous woman in this world?" He starts to take off my bra and I arch my back to give him easier access. Then I get the courage to lean forward and slowly pull his boxers down his waist. Once they're down, my breath starts to quicken and my heart is at my throat.

With a smirk, I can tell he is enjoying my reaction. Then he slowly draws towards me like he is stalking his prey. Then all of a sudden, his demeanor changes when he kisses me gently this time, he goes from animal hunter back to the loving Adrian that I know and have come to love.

He looks into my eyes as he slowly slides into me and in that moment the whole world stops. My skin heats up and I cling onto him, biting his shoulder to keep from screaming, but I no longer had control over the sounds that came out of me. He kept a slow pace, torturing me and keeping me in limbo.

Lily: "Adrian, please."

Adrian: "I want to take my time with you."

And that took me over the edge.

Lily: "I love you Adrian."

Adrian: "I love you too Lily, with all my heart"

He said with a strained voice, and we both reached our climaxes.

As we lay in bed, I can't help but think how much Ilove this man. He brings me joy and happiness. But I know deep down, I can't dothis to him. He deserves better. I want him to always be safe and he can't havethat if he's with me. I push that thought aside as I cuddle with him until weboth drift off into a deep sleep.
