Rolling In The Dark

Adele walked in to her living room to find Simon just fixing the table. She saw the wine and the food he had made. He even had candles. My man, she thought.

"Oh my God babe!" She covered her mouth and started getting emotional. Tears were forming in her eyes.

Simon looked up at her and smiled.

"You did this for me?" She asked.

He replied sarcastically with a chuckle, "No, I did it for Alex."

She grinned and brought her hand back up to her mouth, only to begin biting her nails.

"Is my baby nervous?" He walked over to Adele, holding her waist.

She giggled, "Maybe."

She pulled him in for a kiss but she got rejected.

"What the-

"Saving it for later." He interrupted, gently pushing her away.

She raised her eyebrows with a smirk, "Oh."

He pulled the chair out for her like a true gentleman and she sat down, smiling. They started eating and as soon as they were done, Simon was ready.

"Babe." He chuckled.

She looked into his eyes innocently, "What?"

"Nothing." He said as he rubbed the ketchup on her lips away.

She laughed softly, "Oh."

"Ok, baby. I want you to know that you are the prettiest girl I've ever met. I want you to know that you are my world and always will be. I want you to know that I love being with you and when I'm not with you, you're the only one I think about. I want you to know I always want you to be with me. I want you to know that those three little words ' I love you' don't explain truly how much you mean to me. I want you to know that 'I love you' isn't going to cut it. I want to be with you. For the rest of my life."

He got down on one knee and Adele covered her mouth, as tears began flooding her eyes once again.

He pulled out the box that was in his pocket, opening it and saying, "Adele Adkins, my beautiful babygirl. Will you marry me?"

Adele let the tears fall down her cheeks, as she smiled from ear to ear. She was overjoyed and incredibly thankful for the man who was standing in front of her.

"Simon, of course! Yes!" She jumped up and kissed him.

They both battled for dominance, as the kiss deepened. Without breaking the kiss, Simon picked her up and walked into the bedroom. He laid her down gently and grinned at the beautiful woman he was hovering over.

Adele grabbed the collar of his shirt gently, "Make love to me."

Simon woke up to his phone fully charged. It was dead last night so he could finally check the messages that he had missed. The first one was from Alex.

she kissed me 😏

we're engaged now asshole. I'll talk to her about it. Simon replied.

He was angry. He pulled the blankets off himself harshly and jumped out of bed, as he threw his phone. Adele woke up from her dream.

She cleared her throat, "Hi baby."

"You kissed Alex?" She could see the hurt in his eyes.

"How did you find out?"

He huffed, "So you aren't going to deny it? You did kiss him."
