Forbidden Love

Chapter 15

I got a few days off after Death before Dishonor but quite honest, I was sad. Adam also got a few days off but had to go to his brother's birthday party so we went different ways.

I literally cried at the airport when he said goodbye. To think I am going to spend an entire week without him made me freak out. But that's life I guess....

I was sitting on the sofa in my living roon when I heard the door bell. When I opened it, a delivery guy was standing there with a bunch of red roses. "Ms Clarissa Jones?" "Yes, may I help you?" "Yes, I have a delivery addressed to you." He handed me the flowers and a box when I signed the receipt. Confused, I thanked the dude and walked into my living room, putting the roses on the coffee table.

I opened the nox and found a note and chocolates in it. I quickly opened the note.

-Hey Babe, sorry I couldn't be there with you. I miss you so much. You better get some rest because as soon as I come back, we gonna have to catch up. I wish you were here. I love you. Adam-

I smiled so big, I thought my face wad split in two. I got my phone and called him, I had to say thank you.

"Hello?" He sounded sleepy. "Hey handsome, I got your little present." He laughed. "I hope you like it. I wasn't sure if you like red or white roses so I just went with white." I felt tears sting my eyes... "Clare, you still there?" "Yeah... Yeah I'm still here." "What's wrong babe?" My tears just started coming and I couldn't stop. "I miss you ok! You not being here is killing me and I can't help it. I need you here now." I sounded a car door closing outside. "Well come outside then."

I went to the door and opened it. There he stood, dressed up in a suit with a bunch of roses again. I jumped into his arms and wrapped my arms around him tightly. He smelled so good. I just kept on crying. "I couldn't stand the distance between us anymore, so I jumped on a plane and came back where I belong." He carried me inside and let go of me when we reached the living room. He sat on the sofa and pulled me onto his lap, holding me tightly to his chest.

"You wouldn't believe how I missed you." I looked up at him. "Then you should've seen me. I cried myself to sleep after our calls the last 3 nights." He smiled. "Well I'm all yours for tomorrow." I kissed him on the forehead. "Yeah, you aint leaving this house without me."
