Quest for Love

Chapter 14

Waking up the next morning, I rolled over watching Adam sleep. The first day on the boat was great. After dinner, we spent the night having a movie marathon on all classic black movies. I tried getting up but Adam's huge arms grabbed me by the waist, pulling me back.

"Where you going?" He asked still half sleep.

"To the bathroom." I said still in his arms. He pushed me off him and turn the other way.

"Don't pee on yourself." I laughed walking to the bathroom. After I used it, I brushed my teeth and freshened up before going back out. Going back into the room, Adam got up walking to the closet. I sat in bed turning on the TV, waiting for him to come out. Ten minutes later, he came out tossing my phone on the bed.

"Why you toss my phone?"

"Cus I don't need no helicopters shooting me down for taking you hostage. You know if you don't check in, they coming for me."

"They know I'm on a mini vacation, I'll handle everything when I come back. Come here." I said pulling back the covers on his side of the bed.

"Let me call to tell them to bring breakfast down here and then you have me to yourself.....until the food comes." He said walking to the bed calling the kitchen. After telling the chef what we wanted for breakfast and lunch, he hung up and laid next to me. Watching tv for about 10 minutes, he switched the channel.

"Have you seen Life?" He asked searching for a movie to watch instead.

"No. Whose in it?"

"You never seen Life with Eddie Murphy and Martin?" He sat up looking at me crazy.

"No. I don't think so."

"Mannn, you had to see it. All black people seen Life before. You probably seen it and just don't remember. We gone watch that to refresh your memory, cus girl you just might get yo black card revoked messing around." He turned on the movie and pulled me to lay on top of him. Seeing him cool and chill was relaxing. All of the times we hung out, he would go back and forth to business mode to giving me his full undivided attention. It feels good being with him because he nevers complain about the lack of time we spend together or that I'm not giving him any attention because he understands my lifestyle and vice versa. If I go too long without talking to him, he would call and see how I'm doing or send flowers or arrangements to my house just to think of him and put a smile on my face. Since we met, he has been spoiling me and I used to get mad because I don't like money being thrown at me but later learned that's just how he expresses himself. I'm so used to taking care of others, Adam makes sure I'm taken care of and that I put time aside for myself to relax like now.

Ten minutes of watching the movie, Ruth came sitting breakfast on the table that was in the corner. Eating our food, Adam started feeding me strawberries and grapes so we weren't paying attention to anything that was happening in the movie. Throwing a grape at him, he got up, picked me up, and threw me on the bed. Hearing a knock sound on the window, we looked to see one of those big unknown fishes had ran into the window. Laughing at what was happening, Adam got up and went to the window. Following him, I placed my arms around his waist looking at how beautiful the ocean was.

"If I asked you to come to Texas with me, would you come?" He asked rubbing my hands still looking out.

"You mean drop everything and come live with you?"

"No, you wouldn't be dropping anything. You have businesses and deals in Texas and you go there all the time. I'm asking you to just relocate. You will be closer to Cali, you wouldn't have to deal with that bullshit anymore, you can move your mom out there and you wouldn't be traveling that much." He said turning around to face me.
