Three Thousand Miles(124)

By:Deila Longford


“Adrian you will be an amazing father and if William is your son then he will love you. I know that you will love him too with all of your heart. You just have to believe in yourself and don’t let your fathers choices influence you. Be the guy you are with me. Show William the real you and he will not be able to resist loving you. ” Adrian pulls me close to him and he instantly kisses me. I close my eyes and I know how I feel. If William is Adrian’s son then I will love him. I will treat him like my own and I will never let Zara ruin my relationship with Adrian. He means the world to me and I will never lose him to anyone.

We watch the rest of the movie in silence and as the credits roll; Adrian leans down and kisses me for the millionth time. I gaze at the clock on the wall and I see that it is quite late. I try to get up from the sofa but Adrian pulls me back.

“Baby where are you going,” he says as he playfully squeezes my ribcage. I laugh hysterically at his touch and then I begin to blush as he pulls me on top of him. I stare at his beauty and somehow I manage to tear myself away from him. Adrian again pulls me back; I straighten my face as I look at him.

“Adrian I need to take a shower,” he smiles as if he has something that he would like to say but he does not. He holds in whatever thoughts he has as he loosens his grip on me. I gently kiss him on the cheek and then I make my way into the bathroom.

The next morning I wake in Adrian’s room again. I gently get off the bed as I make my way into the lounge. Adrian is standing by the window talking on his phone. As soon as he sees me walk in, he ends his call.

“Hey beautiful,” he says as he strides over to me. I cannot contain smile as he pulls me in for a hug. I catch the scent from his cologne as he holds me tightly and I inhale his scent. Adrian pulls back from me and I frown at him as I could have stayed in his arms forever.

“Now Alanna I must dash, do you remember the rules for today?” Adrian says in a firm but gentle tone. My smile fades as I nod in agreement.

“You must not leave this room and don’t answer the door to anyone.”

“But…” I begin to say however, Adrian butts in on my question.

“Alanna you are not going to make this difficult are you?” Adrian’s eyes are hot with anticipation as he waits for my answer. I fidget a little as I think of my response.

“I was just going to say, but what about Sophie? If she comes to the door do you want me to ignore her?” Adrian shakes his head at me and I lightly scowl at him. I wish that he would just tell me what he wants me to do instead of all this guessing.

“If Sophie comes to see you then Steven or Mitch will let her in. You will not be answering the door or the room telephone. When I ring you, it will be to your Blackberry and make sure that you answer me within five rings. If I text you then you must instantly reply.” I slightly roll my eyes at Adrian’s rules and I can tell that he is annoyed with my actions.

“Baby how many times must I tell you not to roll your eyes at me,” he snaps. I look up at him and I can see that he is furious. His eyes are bright green and glowing, but behind the beauty, there is deep anger. I know that his temper is short and very hot-blooded and I feel that it would not take much to set it off. I will always have a constant reminder of that night Adrian lost his temper with me. He terrified me and I am still terrified to this day. I am scared that Adrian will lose it completely and in the backlash, he will lose himself. Adrian has deep issues that may never fade. I feel that he does not believe in himself and I know that he thinks that he is a bad person. That could not be further from the truth but there is no telling him. If Adrian were to get mad and if he were to hurt me, then I know that he would not get over that and he could not survive it. As much as I hate that Adrian controls everything, I know that I have to accept it. I would not disobey him because I know that it would only make him angry and I hate the person that anger turns him into. Some people might think that I am stupid and naïve but I am not. I truly believe that one day he will change his ways. I know that Adrian and I will be together and that we will be happy. If I let him take the control then perhaps I have a chance to fix him. My biggest dream is that one day Adrian will be free from his guilt. Until that day, I will do as he says. I focus my brown eyes on his, and he stares at me with a bold expression.

“Okay, is there anything else I should know?” Adrian’s eyes burn through me as he begins to talk.

“Yes, if Michael comes to see you then you cannot leave with him. Do you understand?”

“Adrian I have already told you that I won’t leave the hotel,” Adrian moves closer to me and he takes my hands firmly.
