Love Is Not Over {Editing}

Not Today

I close the door behind me and look at the time. It's currently 3:16pm which meant that I had a few hours to tidy up the apartment before Adam comes over tomorrow morning.

As if on queue, I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket and look down to see Adam is calling me. "Hey, it's funny I was just thinking about you."

"Oh yeah? Were you just thinking about s*cking this d*ck?"

"Wh-what?" I cringe in disbelief. "Nooo just that I need to clean up a bit before you stop by."

"Ugh." He sighs. "Why can't you just play along?"

"Well saw-ree I just got back from class and I'm thinking about my chores. That doesn't exactly make me hot and bothered." I say, failing at masking the annoyance in my tone.

"I guess. So I just wanted to let you know that I'll be at your place around noon tomorrow." he responds dryly.

"Cool that works!"

"Sooooo, what are you doing?" he asks.

"I'm about to clean- fully clothed! I might also do laundry but I might just take a nap because I am feeling lazy. And Ima grab some boba later tonight..with Jimin."

I say the last part and can only hope he does not have an angry outburst.

"You couldn't go with Sarai or any one of your actual friends?"

"He is a friend. And he's the one who suggested we hang out so I'm not gonna piggyback on his plan and invite all of my friends. I mean I could invite them but they are heading out of town tonight."

"How fucking convenient. So now it will only be the two of you. Wow that guy doesn't give up huh?" he retorts.
"Adam shut up. It is not like that"

"He really needs to take a hint and back off."

"Can you control this negative attitude you have? It's just boba. We will be in public. Plus we are just friends."

"Ugh whatever."

I try lightening up the mood and switch topics. "Anyways when you get here tomorrow we can go grab brunch at that waffle place?"

"Yeah that place is great."
"Awesome!" I say in excitement. "I've been craving some chocolate chip waffles drenched in syrup since the last time we went. And it's been months! Maybe I'll even get a-"

"Hey are you in there?" I am interrupted as I hear a muffled female voice on the other line.

I hear the shuffling of his phone and then silence.

"Adam?? Who was that?"

Still no response.

"What the hell! Adam? Hello?"

After a few more seconds he returns to the call.

"Yeah hey?"

"What's going on? Who are you talking to?"

"Oh sorry. I'm in the restroom about to shower and my sister just got home and she knocked to see if anyone was inside."

"Ohhhh. Well why did you call when you were about to shower?"

"I mean I was trying to hear your voice and hoped you would give me something to work with so I could think of you in the shower. Buuuut, you are being boring so I guess not."

"Eww. Just shower. I'm hanging up now, bye see you tomorrow."

I end the call and stare down at the screen.

I swear Adam's sex drive irritates me. I'm not denying that I have sexual urges too but there was a time and place for everything.

I put away my bookbag, grab my cleaning basket, and make my way into the bathroom. I put on my gloves and grab my caddy with various cleaning supplies. I uncap the bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles first. As I am spraying the foam onto the shower door I can't help but think about that random interruption during the call.

I feel a pit in the center of my stomach as I begin questioning it.

Was he really talking to his sister?

I know I heard a female voice but it was through the door so I couldn't make it out completely. I had spent time with his sister numerous times but I had not necessarily heard her voice over the phone. Regardless, I could have sworn the voice I heard was not hers.

That's ridiculous. I am being ridiculous. Adam wouldn't have a girl over. He only has a handful of friends and even fewer female friends.

I grab my earphones and phone and play You Made My Dawn to distract myself and begin cleaning.
