“Yes, well I am returning to London shortly and I will mend things with Charles.” Adrian replies. We stand briefly in a moment of awkwardness until I break the silence.
“So how have you two been?” I glare at the gorgeous couple that stands before us. Katharine beams as she begins to tell me all about her and Michael’s recent dates.
“We have been great; in fact things couldn’t be better. This gorgeous man has took me everywhere in the last week from Broadway to Fifth Avenue. We have had romantic dinners at the Plaza Hotel and ice skating in central park.” Michael really knows how to treat a girl right, babe?” Katharine stands smugly as she gazes at Michael. I am happy that she is having a great time with him but I am still a little worried about his true feelings. I look into her blue eyes and I see happiness and this is the first time that I have ever seen her so in love. I look at Adrian and I realise that he is all that I want and that Katharine despite her annoying behaviour, really does deserve to be with Michael. Katharine’s life, was not great before and now look at her, she is dripping in diamonds and totally infatuated by Michael. I smile at her and I do feel happy for them, but I gaze at him and something in his eyes screams out that he does not feel as strongly as she does. I watch as she leans in and kisses him, his eyes stay open and he barely even notices the affection from Katharine.
“I am happy that he is treating you so well.” Adrian quickly says. I feel that I should say something positive to Katharine, as I know that she is craving it.
“Keep it up Michael; you don’t know how lucky you are to be with my friend - Katharine. Most guys would kill to be with her, you make sure that you do treat her well.” Michael smirks at me and he pulls Katharine towards him.
“I made the stupid mistake of letting her go once before, don’t worry I won’t do that again.” Adrian clears his throat as he turns towards me.
“Baby, would you like to dance?” He says as he holds his hand out to me. I smile at him and I look at Michael and Katharine.
“Off course, will you please excuse us?” I say. Michael’s smile quickly fades as Katharine’s appears.
Adrian takes my hand and he leads me onto the dance the floor. I look into his green eyes as he pulls me close. I gently place my hand onto his back and the other in his. He slowly begins to move as the music plays. He leans down to me and whispers.
“I adore this song,” I adjust my ears and I pull back from him. He looks into my eyes and I smile.
“So do I, I love Michael Bublé and this song is captivating.” I take in the words of the song and I cannot tear my eyes away from Adrian.
“Alanna, sing it to me.” He whispers as he slides his hand down my waist. I glance up at him.
“Your hand is a little south of my waist,” he smirks and I gently pull his head towards mine.
“Let me go home, I’m just too far from where you are I wanna come home.” I sing gently into his ear. Adrian rests his head on my shoulder and I continue to sing to him.
“And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life It's like I just stepped outside When everything was going right, and I know just why you could not Come along with me, that this was not your dream but you always believed in me."
Adrian leans in and kisses me softly. I gaze at him and I know that I love him. Adrian seems different and I love this new side to him. I feel that he is letting his guard down more and he relaxes in knowing that I am safe and that I need him. I perish every time I think back on those awful days that we spent apart and I will do everything in my power not to feel like that again.
“You have a beautiful voice and I could listen to you sing forever and baby, my home is in your arms.” I cannot respond to his romantic words, I just glare at him. His lips are mouthing the words and I know that this is our song. I watch as Adrian considers something in his head and I wonder what is on his mind.
“Adrian is there something bothering you?” I ask kindly. He briefly shakes his head and he quickly lets go of me. I stand back a step from him and I look wide-eyed at him.
“Baby let’s get out of here.” He says firmly. In an instant, Adrian grabs my hand and he is escorting me out the door. I briefly look back at the other guests and I notice Michael staring at us as we glide out the door. We walk out into the warm air and Adrian turns to me and wickedly pulls me towards him. I flinch slightly at his roughness and I wonder what has made him so passionate. He pulls me closer and he kisses me rather roughly. I bask in it for a moment but then I begin to feel a little uncomfortable. I open my eyes and I slightly push him away. He ignores me so I push him harder. He instantly draws back from me and stares freely at me.
