Love at the end of summer~ Adam driver X reader

13. really?

A few hours had passed and you still felt a pit in your stomach from the fight with your mom. You pulled your thoughts together and grabbed your car keys and went to the parking garage. You pulled up an address for a flower and chocolate shop about an hour out of the city. You pulled out and played your playlist. The songs seemed to hit a little different. Maybe it was because you were upset at yourself and maybe it was the fact you were thinking about the past, but something about the songs just hit a nerve.

You drove out of the city, pulling up to the flower shop. Your mothers favorite flower were Lillys. So you found the perfect ones and a few others to place in the bouquet and a child bumped into you. You looked down at him and smiled. You heard a woman run after him and pick him up.

"Oh my goodness I am so sorry! Carson you can't be running into people sweetie!" She said. You couldn't get a good look at her but you laughed.

"Its okay, he's just a ball of energy" you responded and your eyes met hers and your soul left your body.

"You okay hun? You look like you've seen a ghost!" She said laughing to break the tension. And then he walked up next to the woman.

"Y/n?" Said your dad. You felt your heart clench and tighten. Mias face had a swoop of realization. "Oh my god, Y/N!" She said in a happy tone, when his two other kids, his daughters, ran up.

"Can we speak?" He asked you. You could only bring yourself to a nod, "take the kids to go get flowers for Nonas grave, will you?" He asked looking over at mia. She agreed taking the kids hands and walking off. You walked over with your father to the rose bush in the floral shop.

"So, you're in California" he said breaking the silence and you laughed.

"Yeah" was all you managed to say.

He took a deep breath before continuing. "When did you move here? Are you a designer? How is everything?" He asked like nothing had happened.

"Look, we don't have to pretend like we are friendly. I haven't spoken to you personally in 10 years. This isn't exactly a friendly encounter" you snapped at him and he gave you a look.

"I know. And I still don't forgive myself for not reaching out, but you're here now. Im here and im a better person. I've changed who I am. Will you give me a chance to get to know you?" He asked and you rolled your eyes.

"I manage celebrities instagrams and twitters. I live in an apartment in the middle of LA. what more is there to know?" You asked, cocking your head to the side and crossing your arms.

Your dad looked mad. Just like you knew he would be. "You mean to tell me, you went through all that schooling, to become a famous designer, to freaking micro manage some stupid celebrities instagrams? What the hell Y/N"

-adams pov-

"You mean to tell me, you went through all that schooling, to become a famous designer, to freaking micro manage some stupid celebrities instagrams? What the hell Y/N" some mad said. I turned to look and saw it was Y/N and a man arguing.

"Hey, you have no idea what's going on in my life. You may be my father but you have no idea how hard I work" she said and the feeling to help her engulfed me.

I walked up to her and I saw her eyes flash confusion. I mouthed to her 'go with it'.

"Hey honey" I said wrapping my arm around her and kissing the top of her head.

She smiled and hugged me back. "Hey my love, this is my dad" she said introducing us. I looked at him and his eyes were wide.

"Hi, im Adam" I said smiling at him and he was almost at a loss of words.

"Oh my gosh, of course. Im a huge fan! Im mike" he said in shock and awe "your an amazing actor, I'm a huge fan of your role as kylo ren, and your acting in marriage story was superb" he said and I smiled.

"Well thank you!" I responded and he continued to ask another question, but this time it was to Y/N.

"How do you know him?" The smile on his face showed that he was more confused than anything.

"This is actually my boyfriend" she said going with the idea and he almost fell over.

"I had no idea! I thought you were single and trying to figure out your place in life" he said. i felt his confusion and I could sense he was judging her.

"Yes haha, she's actually an amazing social manager, she's made a name for herself" I said defending her. Before I let either of them speak I knew I had to get her out of this mess.

"As much as im sure there is more to catch up, we actually have a dinner to attend to" I picked up the flowers from her hands. "So if you'll excuse us" I said smiling and motioning her towards the cashier. I payed for the flowers and walked her to her car.

"I felt like you needed a hero back there" I said to her, and she laughed in relief.

"You have no idea, but you didn't need to do that for me, and you most definitely didn't need to buy my flowers" she said smiling. Her smile was genuine and kind. And her eyes were bright. Something you hadn't noticed before.

"Please, im your neighbor, and your client. i feel its my honor to protect you from your judgmental father." I said smiling and her and she hugged me. She was smaller than me, but her hug was warm. I wrapped my arms around her and held her for a second. She needed an escape.
