UNDERSTANDING HIM

Chapter 32

"Go get the puck, get the puck" I shouted.

It was fetched and thrown towards me. I ran behind it and in no time catch up with the puck and shoot it with full force and Goal...but wait, No! that munk peace of freckle Adam again prevented my best shot.
I roared at him but he grinned maliciously. I so deeply want to slap that smile off his face now.
"Team gather around" I said.
"Okay, let's change the strategy now. Logan, I want you to tackle their centre forward while Ian and Kai you both..." and after a timeout, the game of pond hockey resumed. This time we were more than ready for our comeback. And with the whistle game starts...

We won, I was so so happy. Finally! I wanted to get back at Adam for the last volleyball match we had in Tahiti.
"I cannot say how proud I am of you all. You gave your blood and sweat in this game. Keep the spirit up and soon you will be playing for the nation. I would-"

" Stop being melodramatic, it was just a game with 12 yr olds," said Adam.

" Huh? Don't sulk just because you lose. Let me thank my team properly so where was I? Yes! I am-" I said and he shook his head annoyingly.

"Common Kids, time for Lunch" screamed Glenn and everybody skated towards her. It was cold out here but not exactly a white Christmas this time.

Today Adam brought me outskirts to this beautiful community which was his mother's dream according to him.

Here kids live with their single parents who were abused either by there spouses or declined by the society. In such case,s, if parents cannot provide their children with the basic necessity which a kid requires then the child, would be sent in the foster care to grow in a stable environment but that means you would be separated from your own parent or guardian which is really sad for both the parties.
Adam mother faced a similar situation that's why she wanted to help to build an environment where a life chance can be given to the parent to be independent and help themselves as well as others. This organisation help people to seek a job so that they can be independent and also provide both child and parent with financial and emotional support until its needed.

Adam comes here every Christmas to be with these kids. He feels a lot closer and connected to his mother through this. His mother would be a great person assume, having such a unique thought and kind nature. I am so proud of Adam that he is pursuing his mom's dream. Wish I could meet his mother. Wish I could meet mine too, I miss you, Mom.

" Hey, you alright?" Adam asked breaking my train of thoughts. I nodded and he hugged me.

" Common let's go and have some lunch." He said grabbing my hand.

The day went by quickly, playing, chatting and even praying. We handed our gifts to the father which were bought by Adam himself for everyone. Those would be kept under the big Christmas tree tomorrow morning in church for the kids to find.

Seeing these single mothers and fathers here I realized how strong one has to be both physically and emotionally to stand on their feet for not only themselves but also their kids.
I now cannot even imagine living without Adam. He has become an integral part of my life.

Once the day got over, we left from there bidding our goodbyes to everyone.
"You enjoyed today?" asked Adam once we were on the road again.

" Absolutely," I said.

" Good." He murmured.

" Thank you," I said.

" For?" Adam asked.

" Showing me there's much more to life." He didn't say anything further and concentrated on driving while I dozed off in the car.

When I woke up I was not in the car anymore but on my bed wearing my nightclothes. Just then the bathroom door open and came out a very naked Adam covered only by his white towel. His v-line was visible making me gulped down my saliva. He noticed me and came towards the bed where I was now sitting.
Water was still leaking from his wet hairs flowing down on his broad shoulders travelling further towards his toned chest and abs.
