The next few days that followed very much so resembled that first night. Something felt as if it had switched. It felt like talking to Adam was becoming part of the routine, and strangely, I was okay with that.
I had never met anyone that talked quite like him before. He talked with such thought. It was as if he didn't just speak, he processed every part of the phrase and developed it so it sounded as if you could listen to him talk forever.
The tension built, gradually. As the days passed, I felt an urge, an urge for something more. Something other then the friendships, and the subtle flirting. I wanted him.
Overthinking is my label. Overthinking is my title and rightly earned too. I like to pick things apart, study and analyse possible outcomes.
A few days later, the routine came into practice at 3.46am
At that particular time of night, my brain felt foggy, my thinking process was limited and unintelligent. Leaving me speechless when the following played out.
"Aria?" Adam questioned.
"Yes Adam." I replied, yawning dramatically.
"I like you." He said, turning the camera on so that his face was the focal point.
I smiled to myself. "I like you too..."
At this particular moment, confessions were confessing, so it only felt appropriate to tell the truth.
Adam grinned, his eyes lighting up.
I studied his facial features. I was without a doubt attracted to him. He looked sort of welcoming, as if he really, truly cared. His eyes resembled adventure, and his smile...
It made me feel week, it made me feel helpless.
I took all these things into consideration as add ons to the attraction that I already felt towards him. It was undoubtably obvious that I liked him, in fact, it might as well have been the textbook definition.
Yet, long distance creates difficult complications, I had to take that into account too, leaving me stranded.
"Adam?" I sighed, deep in thought.
"Yes Aria." Adam replied, still grinning making me shiver.
I thought my words over for a second.
"Can I get back to you on that?"
