Love in New York [Under Construction].

III.

The loud sound of my iPhone alarm clock woke me up for the start of my day. I trudged into the bathroom and took a shower. Usually I put my phone and bag on the counter so I wouldn't forget them, but I couldn't find my bag. I went into the living room and saw my bag laying on the couch. Out the corner of my eye, I saw a brightly colored object; it was one of Adam's paintings. I put on my black robe and grabbed the painting. 

Hopefully he was still here.

Adam POV

I rolled over in bed, trying to get five more minutes of sleep. Aaliyah had been stuck in my head all night. I hadn't even checked if she had a boyfriend.

Is she even interested in me? Ugh, I feel like a middle school kid again.

"Adam, levantarte ahora (Adam, get up now)!" my dad yelled. 

"Bein, estoy hasta (Alright, I'm up)!" 

My seven year old sister came into the room, rubbing her eyes. "¿Por qué papá siempre gritar en la mañana (Why does papa always yell in the morning?).

 I shrugged. 

Someone knocked on the door. I went to put my shirt on but I couldn't find it, so I went without it. They knocked again. 

Aaliyah's POV

I was getting impatient waiting here, I could hear someone inside. The door opened and Adam was standing there shirtless, all his tattoos showing. I tried to make eye contact, but it wasn't easy.

 "You left this", I handed him the painting. 

"Um, thanks." There was an awkward silence. 

"Quién es? (Who's that?)", a small voice said. A girl poked her head into the doorway next to Adam.

"Este es Aaliyah. Ella es mi amiga (This is Aaliyah. She's my friend)." I had no idea what they were saying, I had taken Spanish back in highschool, but that had been it. 

"Adam talks about you all the time!" the little girl squealed. Adam's face turned red. 

"Aaliyah, this is my sister Priscilla." I waved to the little girl. "Now, shouldn't you be getting ready for school?" 

She groaned and went into her room. "Adam and Aaliyah sitting in a tree!" she sung. 

I laughed, making Adam blush. "I better get going to, I have to go get dressed" I told him. 

"I can walk with you to the institute, If you want" he suggested.

"I would like that, I'll meet you outside." 

I went back to my apartment and had no idea what to wear. I ended up throwing on a wide leg floral pants, with a white bustier, and some sandals. I grabbed my bag and phone off the counter and headed out. I met Adam outside. 

"You look nice" he said. "Thank you." 

We talked all the way to the subway. As were walked through the subway, I heard a man wolf-whistle at me. Him and his friends grinned at me, making me really uncomfortable. Adam saw them and put his arm around me without a second thought. When got out of the subway, he kept his arm around me; which I didn't mind. When we reached the doors of the institute, he stopped.

"I better be heading to work now." 

"Oh, okay" I answered sadly. I enjoyed spending time with him. "When is your lunch break?" "Twelve o'clock." 

"Well I know this really good deli not too far from here, we could head over there today." "Okay, I'll be waiting out here for you." I opened the door and went inside, I could still feel the butterflies in my stomach. 

The things this boy does to me.

A/N: I had to use Google Translate for the Spanish, if its not right forgive me. :P
