Adams POV
The door opens and a blonde boy stands there, I'm not going to lie, he's good looking but my heart belongs to Theo. Theo Christopher Williams, the boy who's taken over my life in the best way possible, the boy who's made me smile and cry, the boy who I've fallen in love with. "Good god, Indz, you didn't tell me this guy would be so hot."
"Uh, thank you?" I stutter out
"Good afternoon, gorgeous Birmingham boy."
Before I know it, my hand has been taken from its position by my side and is being brought up to this guys lips. I've never felt so uncomfortable in my life. I've never even met this guy, this can not be the way he greats people. I'm still thinking of Theo, trying to take my mind off this weirdo who's looking at me like my dog looks at his treats. Looking down, I realise there is a stain on my hand, a lipstick stain. What is this guys problem? Luckily, what seems like Astra's friend turns up and pushes her way past the boy, immediately enveloping Astra into an embrace. This is awkward. After a couple of seconds, she moves her attention onto me.
"Hi! You must be Adam! I'm Indi!" She says whilst holding out her hand.
"Yeah. Uhm it's really nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you!" I reply whilst timidly shaking her hand.
"Come on inside, take a seat, make yourself at home. Oh yeah that's Christian, ignore him." Gladly, I'll be doing everything I can to ignore that creep.
I gesture for the girls to go in first and then enter myself, closing the door behind me. We are lead to the living room, and Indi and Astra share a settee so I take the other one. Christian immediately sits right next to me, a bit too close for comfort. I give a pleading look in Astra's direction but she's way too invested in that girl, I swear to the gods above, if they don't get together by the end of this trip then I'm going to force them together, maybe locking them in a room. Indi turns the tv on and I try my best to block out the guy sitting next to me, as he plays with my fingers and attempts to discretely place his hand on my thigh.
I hear rustling in the kitchen, I thought it was only us here, well that's what Astra said anyway? Maybe there's a dog in the house, I know that my dog does that. Just as I hear footsteps coming through the door, my head is turned, quite forcefully may I add, and I feel a pair of foreign lips on mine. Christian is kissing me.
"What the hell?!" I hear multiple voices shout simultaneously. I can't pull away though, he's got an iron grip around my waist, pulling me into his lap. This is strange. Finally, I push Christian off me and look up, flustered. There he is, the love of my life, with tears in his flawless eyes and a spilt cup of water on the floor.
"Theo?" I whisper
"How could you? I thought we had something?" He screams before running out of the door. I rip myself out of Christians grip and run after him. Bursting through the door, I look around frantically for Theo, spotting him sitting on the pavement, head down, arms around his legs. My heart breaks in two, I never want to see him like this.
"Theo?"
"Go away, Christian is waiting inside by the way."
"Yes, and you're on the floor crying. Theo you matter to me so much more than that creep. You light up my world Theo, seeing you like this is breaking me into a million pieces. Every time I see your face my life explodes into light. Every time I see a notification telling me you have messaged me, I can't keep a lovesick smile off my face. You're breathtaking in every way, and for what it's worth, uhm I love you."
He whips his head around so fast, I hear multiple cracks and I wince, a ghost of a smile plays on his plump lips.
"I can't believe this. This can not be happening."
"What, Theo, what do you mean? I'm right here. What just happened with Christian means nothing to me"
I can't think of anything else to say, I'm too overwhelmed. I admit defeat and get up, walking away from my love. I feel a hand in mine and sparks shoot up my arm and into my heart, this sounds so cliche. I'm turned round and I see the face I've been seeing in my dreams ever since I first saw a picture of it, but instead of the bright eyes and happy smiles I want, his eyes are red and puffy and there's no smile on his face. My heart is now completely shattered, why did I come here? I could've just said no to Astra's invite, said I had homework or something. Theo then snakes his free arm around my waist, pulling me impossibly close, but instead of the uncomfortable feeling I got earlier with Christian, I got butterflies and my chest felt as though it was going to explode. I didn't mind the fact that I was shivering from the cold and the rain, or the fact that there were tears rolling freely down my face, all I cared about was the boy in front of me, one hand around my waist, the other clasped onto my own, both swaying to imaginary music. He brought his lips up to my ear and whispered
"I love you too Adam, more than you could ever know." And then he brought his lips up to my own chapped ones. How cliche can we be? Rain falling around us, holding on to each other like it's the end of the world, tears flowing down our faces. I've never felt happier in my life though, I was connected to the love of my life, acting out a moment from a teenage film. Unfortunately, air was necessary so we pulled apart, stupid grins plastered on our faces, staring into each other's eyes, analysing each and every aspect each other, implanting a picture into our brains, forever to be remembered. We press our foreheads together, looking as though we were attempting to share every thought with each other, as we were tongue-tied.
"Pinch me" Theo whispers
"Why?"
"Because, baby boy, this feels like it's all a dream."
"Well, Theo Christopher Williams, I can assure you that this is not all a dream, and the question that I am about to ask is all real as well."
I decide why not make this even more cliche, and get down on one knee, my jeans are now even more soaked than they were originally.
"Theo Christopher Williams, I love you too much it should be illegal and I never want to lose you." I realise there is a polo in my back pocket and reach in to get it. I see Theo's face twist into shock "don't worry baby, I'm not proposing, well not yet anyway, but will you be my boyfriend?"
"What a stupid question Adam!"
"Oh" I stand up, head bowed. He gently cups my face in his hand and lifts it up so I'm looking directly in his eyes again.
"It's a stupid question, Adam Alexander Hughes, because it's obvious that my answer is yes, now where's that polo?"
I place it on my tongue.
"It's a good job I love you. "
Let's just say he got that polo.A/N
There it is lads! Prepare for fluff because that's what I write, as you can probably tell from the terrible attempt at a little bit of angst and heartbreak in this chapter. Anyway, next chapter out soon, again closely linked with BeeboPotato make sure you go and give her story a ton of love. Also I'm sorry this is late, I didn't have WiFi, please don't hurt me.
