MIA

“Are you sure you don’t want us to leave so that you can have some peace and quiet?”

I scooped another stuffed animal off the floor, making a grand total of five clutched in one arm while the other held two Nerf guns and a pop-up dinosaur book. Miles and I had only been here for three days and we’d completely destroyed Adam’s orderly home.

Adam lowered himself to the couch, wincing in pain when he had to shift to the side and remove an action figure from beneath him.

“Absolutely not, I want you and Miles and all the chaos that brings.” He laughed, tossing the toy on the other side of the couch. “Now stop worrying about cleaning up and come and sit that perfect ass of yours next to me.”

Dropping the toys in an empty corner of the room, I kicked off my shoes and padded over to the couch. I sat down as gently as I could and placed my hands in my lap, keeping my posture rigid so that I didn’t disturb him. Adam made a sound of frustration, wrapping one heavy arm around my shoulders and dragging me into his body.

“Adam, stop! You’re going to hurt yourself!” I gently pressed against his chest but his arm held firm.

“Mia, I’m fine. This is nothing more than a little scratch. Hold still, damnit, and let me cuddle you.”

His words were sweet, instantly melting me into his hold, especially since I was worried that fighting him would only cause him pain. My head rested against his shoulder and I allowed myself to enjoy being in his arms once again. There’d been many times over the last few days where I’d questioned what was happening between us. Miles’ curiosity about Adam was at an all-time high since we were staying at his house. My quick-thinking distractions had momentarily placated him but sooner or later he was going to start wondering what Adam’s place was in our lives and I’d need to have an honest answer for him.

My eyes closed as his warm fingers drifted up and down the exposed skin on my arm. Resting like this was uncommon for me. Normally if I wasn’t at work, I’d be running around the house cleaning, doing laundry or going over homework with Miles. Downtime wasn’t exactly in my vocabulary but the more that Adam and I were together, the more I found myself snuggled up on the couch with him, cuddling in bed or simply letting him hold me in the kitchen while dinner cooked. It was nice…addicting really.

Adam’s breathing evened out and I lifted my head to find he’d fallen asleep. He must have been exhausted; I couldn’t imagine he’d gotten much rest while he was on assignment. Pulling my phone out of my back pocket, I sent a quick text to Liz, double checking that it was all right that Miles spent the night. She sent back a thumbs up, an eggplant and the rain emoji making me laugh and Adam to shift beneath my cheek.
