Chapter 25: Sleepless

"Eleanor, I love you."

His words hit me like a bus; they rang through my ears as I fell, dumbstruck. I continuously stared at him, unable to reply. His brown eyes held me still as I was expecting him to start laughing and telling me it was a joke.

"Why?" I finally asked as he bursts into fits of laughter. "What's so funny?"

"I tell you that I love you and you ask me why?" He clutched his stomach as he topples over in laughter.

I stared at him for a second and couldn't help but smile. He is contagious. After a couple minutes, I grabbed his shoulders and turned him to face me, pleading him to take it back. I don't know how to react. He straightened up and looked directly at me, leaning in beside my ear.

"I'm not going to give up until the moment you tell me you love me back." he whispered, his words sent shivers down my spine. Since when was Adam so sexy, so seductive?

"Adam, we barely know each other and why the hell could or would anyone ever love me. I'm a freaking slut and you're an amazing guy who deserves so much better. I cheated on you when we first got married and you forgave me for it and I just wanted to say I'm really sorry about that and you deserve. . ."

He interrupted me with a kiss. His lips immediately press over my mouth, preventing me from saying anything else. My breathing became extremely shallow as the feelings attempt to register in my mind.

He loves me. And I may be starting to crush on him, but love is too soon.

"Eleanor, don't tell me what I deserve. But I don't want you to remember me as the guy who forced you to marry him because I don't want you to think of me that way. So, feelings aside, do you want to start over? All free of choice." His face was so close, his eyes full of so much hope as my heart began racing. I didn't know how to respond. I heaved and looked at our hands, his hand had slid down to my hip and my hands on his, shaking.

"Adam. . . I, we, just. . ." I spoke incoherently. My voice sounding foreign to my own ears.

"I'm Adam Carnegie. Nice to meet you." He smiled an unbelievably breathtaking smile that sent my heart roaring.

"No. I'm not doing this." I was completely frozen with his brown gaze holding me.

"Eleanor, "

"Adam, after all that's happened, there is no way I could ever start over. And I do have some degree of feelings for you, but I just don't know. I've been trying to get in your pants since we met," I laughed, sounding more like a choking hyena, "and I don't want to have anything change between us. But if that's what you want, then Hi, I'm Eleanor Carnegie-I mean Hays. Nice to meet you too."

His face broke into a wide grin.

"So Eleanor, how about I take you out to dinner first before you try getting in my pants again.
