Better Than I Know Myself (2nd book)

Chapter 3- I missed you

Adam stood at the door, panting and searching.

I know I said I would immediately hug him right after I see him but apparently, my legs have decided to fail me. I wasn't able to move. I just stood there frozen like a scared little kid. My mind and heart was telling me to go and run to him... but my body was too stubborn to obey.

Adam's eyes searched the room.

My heart was beating with suspense.

Then he saw me, and our gazes interlocked.

He gave a wide and relieved smile, and immediately ran to me.

I wanted to run to him too, like those dramatic scenes in the movies.

But this isn't a movie. And in reality, my body is still stubbornly frozen even though adrenaline is rushing through my body.

He hugged me so tight that I wasn't able to move.

I just broke into tears. Not the silent sobbing that I usually do. I seriously broke down. I sobbed loudly, tears flowing from my eyes. My eyesight was so blurry because big blobs of tears just filled my eyes.

Adam was shushing me and caressing my head.

I felt like I was a little kid who tripped, fell and got a big painful wound. And Adam was my dad comforting me.

Weird.

But I mean, whenever I'm with Adam, I always feel like a little kid and he's my dad.

I didn't even know why I was crying.

Sadness? Happiness?

I don't know.

The emotions were jumbled.

I started to slam my fists on Adam's back with all my might. And by "all my might" I actually meant "the only strength I can give because all my might was taken by crying so hard from all the emotions, and by Adam's super tight and firm hug."

"Where were you?!?!" I sobbed loudly, punching Adam.

"I'm sorry, i'm sorry." he kept stroking my head.

"I fucking searched for you all night! I didn't know if you got into an accident or... or... if you're..." I couldn't find the right words so I just kept punching him.

"It's okay it's  okay... I'm okay, I'm sorry..." Adam released me and held my face, wiping away my tears. He looked like he was near tears too.

"No! It's not fucking okay! I... I missed you so much..." I hiccupped in the middle of my sobs.

"I'm sorry..." I saw a tear fall down his cheek.

I kept crying and Adam just stroked my face.

"I missed you..." I sobbed.
