-SIMON-











It's been almost 2 weeks since me and Adele had a pretty talk. Her last text to me was just a simple "I'm very busy,sorry." and it makes me sad. I miss her. I didn't even had the chance to pick her up at work because I'm quite busy as well.

But damn,I really miss her. After of what happened between the two of us,I even want her more. I like her so much and nothing can change that.

I grab my phone and called her but she's unreachable. So I called Laura instead.
"Hello?"
"Oh hi,Simon?" she's on a low tone of voice
"Hi,just wanna ask how's Adele's doin'? I couldn't reach her by phone."
"Oh ya. I knew it, you called because of her of course. But Simon,didn't she told you yet?"
"T-tell what?"
"Her step mom died last week and she have to go back to their house to handle everything for the wake and everything and anything." my heart melts a little.
"Oh really. Thanks,but oh one last thing. Can you give me the address? I totally forgot but I've been there for once."
"Oh sure!"

She gave me the address and later that night I race my car to see her.

The house was quite big and old. Just like an ancestral house. I was honestly expecting to see a wake,but there's nothing in there. I knocked at the door,"Hello? Is anybody here?" and a teen-aged girl opened that door for me. "H-hey. I'm looking for Adele Adkins. Is she here by chance?" I asked politely and guess what. She rolled her eyes and shouted "Adeeeeele?! Someone's looking for ya!" She went upstairs without even asking me if I wanna go inside. Oh,shaking my head.. Kids today doesn't have manners at all.

I was relieved when I saw Adele walking down the stairs. Wearing a black long sleeves night dress. Her eyes are swollen and she's very pail. She's indeed a beauty. I can't help it. I hug her very tight for a minute.
"Adele are you okay? Is everything's okay?"
"Simon,mom's gone.." she answered in a very low voice. I unwrapped my arms and hold her very tight. "Everything's gonna be okay." I told her with a smile. "I'm good,since you're here.." she answered with a little smile.

We had a little more talk inside - in the kitchen while sipping a hot choco-latté.
"Thank you for coming,I know it's Laura who told you about this. I'm sorry I didn't even want to disturb you so I chose not to say anything. It's been hard and heart tearing for me. I love my mother. Even she's not the real one."

"Adele. Move on,everything happens for a purpose. You can get over it,I do believe. And I just wanted to see you." I kissed her lips,that soft red lips.

She's in shock after I removed my lips onto hers. "S-simon?"
"Sorry I just really miss you and there's a coffee stain in your lips." I hope that's a good excuse. She gave me a blank reaction but I know she's blushing.

My phone rang. Oh! My boss. "Excuse me (to adele), Hello sir? (to the boss) Y-yeah. I'll be there. Got it."
"Adele,I need to go. Urgent tasks.." we both stand up. "Oh. Okay."

She went outside with me until we reach the car. "When will you come back to work?" I asked. "Next week probably. I need to do something that my sister can't do by herself. You know,she's only 18."
"And she's so mean." I joke. But it's true. Lol. "Sorry for that" she chuckled. "It's okay. Have a goodnight!" I tap her shoulders and I kissed her on her forehead without asking for a permission.
