I Think That You May Be The One (Book 1)

You're Just Innocent

*Gianna's pov

"Adam, Adam over here!" Photographers yelled snapping pictures like crazy. "Gianna over here!" One called. I looked over shocked. I guess I should've expected it, especially after our stunt at the mall, or rather my stunt. "Smile sexy" he growled sexily in my ear. "I am babe" I said nervously. He laughed some and kissed my cheek and led me inside. "You did good baby" he smiled as his fingers found the cutout in my dress. My breath hitched and I could feel the goose bumps from his warm touch on my bare skin. I see why he liked this one, I thought. Michael knows us well. "Took you long enough to get in here Levine!" Blake said and I couldn't help but smile. I've always loved Blake's music. "Ya know what Shelton, they were hounding me and my girl" Adam said holding me close. "Shelton this is Gianna, Gi, Blake Shelton" he introduced us and I smiled brightly. "So you're the girl he can't shut up about. Nice to put a face to the name" he grinned and pulled me into a hug. "Nice to meet you too Blake" I mumbled into his chest. "Let her breathe" Adam said hitting his arm. Blake laughed and let me go, "sorry" he chuckled. "It's fine really" I said smiling. He smelled like stale alcohol and cologne. Strangely it didn't smell horrible, just musk-y. Is that a word? I shrugged, it is now. "How about a drink?" Adam asked and led me through the room. He put a drink in my hand and mingled with his team and introduced me to the other coaches and Carson Daly. It was overwhelming but amazing. Three drinks in, I could feel myself loosening up. "How're you feeling gorgeous?" He asked kissing my neck. "I'm fine, three drinks won't be get me drunk, but it is helping me relax and not be as nervous" I admitted wrapping my arms around his neck as I kissed him. He smiled and kissed me back, "hmmm coconut" he grinned licking my lips. I giggled some and parted my lips letting his tongue in. "What do you think about all of this?" He asked many minutes later. "It's hectic, loud, and fun" I grinned.

There was a loud tapping then and we looked at the stage. "Now if we ask really nicely maybe your couches will sing a song and give the DJ a 10 minute break, what'd you say?" Carson said. "Let's go Levine" Blake said grabbing his arm from around me. I giggled and kissed him, "go on, I'll be waiting patiently for you to come back" I winked. He smirked and I bit my lip. He groaned and followed Blake on stage. I walked to the front of the room and stood in front of the stage. "Any requests?" Christina called out. "Start it up" someone, a contestant I assumed, shouted. They laughed and the music started. Adam kept staring as he sang. I blushed watching him and thinking over everything that's happened over the past months, heartache, healing, vulnerability, trust- to an extent, love, and nervousness; all the feelings that have been associated with each event recently. I took a deep breath thinking and listening to Adam and the other coaches. The song ended all too soon and Adam's lips pulled me from my thoughts. "Okay 3 hours of partying is enough for me" he said holding my hips pressing them against his. "Aww tired baby?" I teased giggling. "Yep" he said faking a yawn. I giggled and we left after saying goodbye to Ceelo, Christina, Blake, Carson, and his team. "You okay Gi? You've been really quiet tonight?" He said in a worried tone. "What's wrong with being quiet?" I asked. "Well nothing. It's just unlike you" he said shrugging. I was quiet a moment, "I've been thinking" I said honestly. "What about?" He asked. I bit my lip and laid my hand on his thigh and I heard his breath catch. I smiled, "everything. The past, present, and future" I said. He nodded as I started rubbing his leg lightly. "Gi?" He asked his breath harsh and ragged. "Yes?" I asked as I continued the motion. He bit his lip holding in a moan, "don't... Stop" he moaned out unable to control it. I smirked slightly.

He sped home and pulled in the driveway and pulled me over and onto his lap. "You are killing me" he moaned running his hands up and down my body. I smirked kissing him and opened the door, "come on" I whispered pulling him inside. Frankie barked and cornered us and I knelt down to pet her, "hey girl" I smiled as she licked my face. I laughed, "why don't you let her out and I'll meet you upstairs in a few minutes" I said and kissed him softly. His eyes were dark, hungry, wanting. "Yea I'll be right up" he said and I ran upstairs. I changed into the red flyaway baby doll and touched up my makeup, fixing what had fallen and applied a little more lipstick. "Gi?" He called and I could hear his shoes hit the wall where he kicked them off. I heard the faint drop of his tie and belt hitting the floor as he walked into the room. I stepped out of the bathroom, "yea Ad?" I asked standing in the doorway. He stared, "wow" he whispered. I blushed, "but Gianna" he questioned curiously. I bit my lip and took his hands walking toward him, "I've been thinking about this since yesterday, I have to put my heart on the line, I have to just trust you. Trust you completely, right off. I made Keith wait and it didn't make explaining everything easier. You know it all, I have nothing left to hide except my scars" I shrugged. "I won't lie, it scares me to death, but losing you scares me more" I said and he caressed my cheek. "I love you Gianna" he whispered kissing me pulling me closer and I could feel how much he loved me. "I love you too" I said smiling. "I'm not forcing you" he asked and reassured me. "I know, and you're not" I said kissing him pulling him over me. He hesitated but eventually gave in to temptation.
