Chapter Thirteen

This is the third time Adam reminds me that he needs to leave town for work next week. Every time we talk about it I get a lump in my throat. I’m being ridiculous. It’s not even a full week. Leaves on Monday and returns Friday afternoon. I tell myself repeatedly that I don’t need to spend every day with him, but I do. That’s what makes this so difficult. I see him every day. Every single day and I love every second of it.

Adam begins to talk about leaving and I tune him out. I don’t want to think about it. When I don’t acknowledge his comment, he calls my name again.

“Leah? Did you hear me?”

“What?” I respond and he laughs.

“You’re not listening to me, are you?”

“Not really, sorry.” I pause for a second before quietly adding, “I don’t want you to go.”

“I know,” he says sweetly as he lays his head in my lap. Looking up at me, smiling, I lean down and kiss the tip of his nose. “Come with me,” he says firmly.

“Okay,” I respond instantly. “Wait, seriously?” I add feeling like an idiot for answering so quickly.

“Why would I ask if I wasn’t serious?” he says, but his tone is more joking. “Yes Leah, I’m serious. I hate the thought of you being here without me.”

Adam sits up, pulling me onto him until I’m straddling his hips. I press my lips to his and within seconds Adam deepens the kiss and a low groan vibrates in his chest.

“God, Leah, you have no idea what you do to me. This,” he says digging his fingers into my hips and then sliding them under my shirt, up to my breasts, “is why I can’t be without you. You give me a semi every time I think about you.” He pushes himself against me.

I throw my head back laughing. “You really know how to ruin a romantic moment, don’t you?”

“I can’t help it.”

I playfully slap the side of his arm and he grabs for my wrist. The next thing I know he’s the one on top and I’m giggling as he shoves his head under my shirt.

“Adam,” I squeal wiggling underneath him. “We have to meet Cari and Jimmy for dinner in an hour and I still need to shower.”

“I could help you,” he says as he slips his head out from under my shirt.

I just shake my head and leave him sitting on the couch with a scowl on his face. As I step into the bathroom, I look around at the counter, which is covered with my stuff. Makeup bag, blow dryer, toothbrush, hair ties and a few pairs of earrings—all of which have accumulated over the past few weeks. When I strip off my clothes and toss them into the laundry basket that is on the floor, I notice it’s at least half filled with my clothes. The shower is no different: a razor, a bottle of shampoo, a few different types of conditioner and some coconut shower gel.
