I lay on my bed and I play nervously with my phone. I have not heard from Adrian today and I am beginning to get worried. I again check my phone and still there is no contact from him. I give in to my own temptation as I quickly dial his number. I wait patiently as the phone rings and a smile comes to my face when I hear his cool British accent.
“Hello baby, what’s wrong?” He immediately asks.
“Nothing is wrong I just wanted to check in and see what you were doing?” The phone is silent as I await his next words.
“I was busy all day with paperwork but I am on my way over to you. I will see you soon and baby there is something that I need to ask you.” My heart races as I wonder what he wants to ask me. My mind flashes back to when Sophie told me Adrian was going to propose. I quickly shake that thought from my mind.
“Okay, see you soon.” I say as I hang up the phone. I quickly rush into the bathroom as I prepare for Adrian. I instantly loosen my ponytail and I let my hair fall freely down my back. I apply some lip-gloss and then I make my way back into my room. I sit anxiously on my bed as I wait for Adrian. I quickly jump from my bed when I hear a knock at the door.
“Hello Adrian.” I say as I pull open the door. I quickly look up at the tall guy that stands before me and I gasp when I see Michael.
“Sorry to disappoint you, it’s only me.” He says rather sarcastically. I cannot hold in my smile as I gaze at him. I quickly turn away and Michael follows me into the room.
“What’s up?” I say as I lock my eyes on his. He smiles at me and he says.
“Nothing’s up, I just came to see my favourite girl. How are you Alanna?” I quickly reply to him and I pretend that I never heard his sarky comment.
“Fine, I am just waiting for Adrian.” Michael gently rolls his eyes as he walks over to me. He fills the gap between us and he lightly takes my hand in his.
“Ah yes, you belong to my brother.” I narrow my eyes at him.
“I don’t belong to anyone.” I insist. Michael smirks at me as he lets go of my hand.
“I heard that you are going to be spending some time in London.” I sense that he is happy about this and I quickly reply.
“Yes, I cannot wait I adore London. Are you going back over the summer?” He again smiles at me and I begin to lose myself in his ice blue eyes.
“Do you want me to?” He asks smugly. I gently push back the hair that has fallen around my face as I respond to his question.
“Don’t be smug Michael; you know that things wouldn’t be the same without you.” He laughs at my response and he gently walks over to me. He places his hand on my shoulder as he gazes into my eyes.
“You always know how to put me in my place and that’s what I love about you, Alanna.” I stutter for words as I hear Michael’s confession. I do not know how to respond so I simply flash him a smile. He moves a little closer to me and to my surprise; he takes me in his arms. I do not fight him off yet I know that this is inappropriate. I give in as I rest my head into his shoulder, I take a deep breath and I catch the scent from his cologne. I gently close my eyes as I grip onto my saviour.
The door opens and I instantly break free from Michael. I turn around quickly and I see Adrian standing in the doorway. I walk over to him and I feel guilty at what he has just witnessed.
“Hi,” I say in a quiet voice. I stand on my tiptoes as I place a soft kiss onto his cheek. Adrian stands motionless as he glares at Michael. I look up into his green eyes and I see that they are full of rage. His fists are clenched and his nostrils are flared. I sense the tension as I stare at the two gorgeous men. I cannot speak I just stand frozen as they lock eyes on one another. Michael is too smug and Adrian looks furious.
“Hello brother,” Michael says in a smug tone. Adrian runs his fingers nervously through his hair as he stares at Michael.
“Yes hello Michael, may I have a moment with my girlfriend?” Adrian says in harsh tone. Michael quickly smirks as he walks over to me. I feel uneasy as Michael takes my hand. He gently places a soft kiss onto my skin as he says.
“Goodbye beautiful.” My heart races and I flash Michael an awkward smile. He quickly makes his way out of the room and when I hear the slight bang of the door I instantly turn to Adrian.
“Adrian that’s not what it looked like, Michael just came to say hi and…” Adrian places his finger into my lip as he signals me to stop talking. He gently leans in and he kisses me softly. I pull back in confusion and widen my eyes at him.
“Aren’t you mad at me?” He gently smirks at me as he plays with my hair.
“No baby I am not mad at you.” I cannot contain my smile as I jerk his head towards mine. I look deep into his eyes.
