The Love Song

Chap Five: You leave me breathless.

I felt unbelievably warm lying in bed that day, I knew it was morning, but something was stroking my face and it was tingling. Maybe it was a fly, but the feeling was amazing, the stroking continued and I sighed. I snuggled deeper and realised it was a touch, I opened my eyes to see Adrian sitting on his knees at the edge of my bed, gently touching my cheek, for a second there I froze, but then I thought this has to be a dream, so why not enjoy it ? I sighed again and nuzzled in his touch, I smiled. His hand against my skin was so warm and I wanted to nestle in the warmth.

"You feel so soft, Tempy." Adrian whispered, I tilted my head and saw him gazing down at me, I smiled at him. As far as my dreams went, Adrian was my fantasy. He gave me a gentle smile and leaned in. That's when against the odds, even in my dream I heard the song.

"If our love was a fairy tale, I would charge in and rescue you on a yacht baby we would sail, to an island where we'd say I do and if we had babies they would look like you, It'd be so beautiful if that came true, you don't even know how very special you are ... You leave me breathless, you're everything good in my life, you leave me breathless, I still can't believe that you're mine, you just walked out of one of my dreams, So beautiful you're leaving me ... breathless ..."

"How do you feel dodo?" He asked me and continued stroking my cheek. But all I could hear was the song, the voice drugging my voice, pulling me more and more into the dream, Adrian seemed more real.

"You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me, you're like an angel, the thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me, you're something special, I only hope that I'll one day deserve what you've given me, but all I can do is try, every day of my life ...you leave me breathless, you're everything good in my life, you leave me breathless ..." Was Adrian doing this to me or was I doing this to him, and where the hell was this song coming from? I didn't know all I could see was Adrian's magical eyes, looking at me and myself gaping at him, these songs were driving me crazy. I was falling for him, I acknowledged now, maybe it seemed impossible, but I was falling for him.

"Tempy, are you alright?" Adrian asked again, he seemed so unaffected, why was he asking me that? I was okay, just very very warm.

"I feel hot." Whoa, wait a minute, if this was a dream my voice was supposed to be sensual, then why did it sound gruff?

"Oh shoot, you're real." I sat up in bed and clutched the sheet to me.

"Where did that song came from?" I demanded.

"Of course I'm real. I did say I was ..." Before he could finish, there came a sudden banging from outside and I jumped.

"What the hell is that?" Adrian asked me and I shrugged, for the first time I noticed that he was shirt less and my eyes popped out when I saw his bare torso, so smooth and brown. Fantasy!

"TEMPERANCE, OPEN THE DOOR!" I heard the shouting and Adrian bolted for my main door. I donned my pyjamas and went out to see what the fuss was about, the sight was dreadful. It was Amber and boy she looked angry and ready to kill.

"What did I do?" I asked from the door way and dreaded the answer.

"What did YOU do? My best friend? I come to your apartment on MY wedding day because you are not at the boutique and I wait for TWO HOURS then I come here and I find you and my best man together, half naked. And presumably both forgot that MY WEDDING IS TODAY." Amber was boiling hot, oh hell! How could I forget that? I looked at Adrian and wished I could throttle him, he looked freaking amused.

"I'm sorry Amber, I did NOT forget your wedding, and I just slept late that's it. Please, please forgive me, its all Adrian's fault." I said and Adrian laughed.
