She Belongs To The King

"You literally went back just to continue whatever you two had? After promising me? You wont hurt me? And the god damn gall to tell me i was the problem?"

I'm not even upset anymore I think I'm ready to fight this man right here right now, he wants smoke. I will bust his jaw like i did to Edward's. I clearly woke up today to seek violence. How dare he take me as a fool, coming all the way to my house?

"Antheia... Antheia.." He reached out to me in an attempt to calm me down , his arms up. In a surrendering manner. Oh now he wants peace?

"Antheia I wasn't home that whole day. I was not...home" Adam insisted, his eyes staring into me making sure i heard every single word he just said.

I felt my body become stone. I'm sorry, what did he say?

"W-what... now why would i believe you?"

He audibly sighed, tilting his head to look at me as if i was some child throwing a tantrum. Okay fair enough, i kinda was.

"I was at a meeting with Rhiannon's dad, you should ask her. From the time i left the castle, i was... working... I crashed at Edward's that night" I could see he was trying to hide his smile. As if a sense of relief rushed over him.

I was trying to do the math inside my head, connecting the dots. My eyes widened when i realized i may have jumped the gun here. Boy don't you feel extremely fucking stupid right now. Why do i even say back? Do i...apologize? I am internally screaming. Oh my god.

"Why would Jenna say that you... and how was she even at yours?-" ... "The security just lets her in since she used to come over....back then" he cringed, clearly not proud about that fact. "I don't know why she was there but she'll be gone immediately" he added firmly. "Nothing ever happened between us the entire time she was here" he reassured me.

"I- I couldn't let anything happen" his eyes searched for mine.

My eyes widened at the confession, attempting my best to hide my smile.

"It's only been you. I only wanted to be with you"

Well I'll be damned, he really propelled up Jenna into the kings for that short period just for the theatrics of it all.

He reached out to grab my hand, gently caressing my skin, his brown eyes yearning for me.

"You know... all this could've been avoided if you just talked to me Antheia" he suggested, slowly making his way closer to me. Just how close he was to me inside that room when we were hiding from Erika, how close he was that night on the balcony. My heart is doing it's usual in the presence of Adam. Gripping onto my wrist I'm pretty sure he can feel how violently my heart is beating right now. Does he know what he does to me? How he makes me feel?

"Well it's not like something like that isn't in your character" I claimed, trying to cling on to the last of my dignity after being exposed for being a dumbass.

"Is it that hard for you to trust me? Even after i said i love you? Why would i even think to do something like that when you're the only person i want Antheia! You're the only one I think about" he stressed, his grip on my hand getting tighter, indicating he does not want to let me go as if I'd go missing again.

Damn it he's winning, my big mouth got nothing to say when I usually always do. I exhaled deeply, every inch of me wanting to melt within his arms. Admit it you idiot, your theatrical ass messed up colossally. I could've just... fact checked but i guess i was really hurt and needed space. Which is very valid considering I've been vary of Adam's intentions from the very beginning.

Am i that easily going to believe him after the doing the most to get away? Going so far as to quitting the Kings? Looking into his eyes he's only looked and sounded this sincere when he was telling me how he felt...about me. Everything seems to add up and it's about time i take down the walls I've very clearly built in front of him. My whole being yearns for him, and everything i assumed was clearly wrong, i need to let it go.

"Aww" a familiar voiced cooed from the distance. Of course Anna was listening in this whole time. I guess i don't have to explain myself to her anymore. Everything played out right here on the pavement as is pretty self explanatory.

The next mission is to walk back home when it's obviously clear i ran back to Anna's because of love problems. Lord take me now.

His eyes were intensely digging into me.

"You did all this and got away because you thought...i was with someone else?" He let out a smirk, a smug one at that. "You got jealous" he teased, pulling me into his arms.

"No!" I shut him down immediately, "I didn't want to end up a fool okay?"

"You have a tendency to self sabotage things you know that?" He cooed, ready to just embrace me and not let go one bit. I sighed, realizing he's right. Damn it how does he know me so well. I do, i do self sabotage many things but i do not regret taking a break from all this nonsense. Who has the headspace to deal with all this? Not me.

Who is this version of Adam king? The first time i met him he had a dark cloud over him like he was the punisher. He walks into a room and he instantly becomes gloomy. Flowers wither at the sight of him and look at him now, his eyes like a little puppy. Refusing to unhand me.

"Why were you at my place that night?" He asked, snapping out of his soft expression.

Oh boy.

Now I HAVE to tell him what was on my mind that night, why i was really there. My eyes looked around, trying to think of a more vague answer that doesn't give out the real reason.

The real reason being that i... love him too.

His eyes searched for mine once more. His eyebrows slightly furrowed as he waited for me to answer.

"I came to say...that"

My ears were drumming with how loud my heart was beating, i can't even hear myself anymore. He tilted his head, looking at me as if he got all the time in the world to hear me say it. I'm exhausted it's almost midnight and this man is making things difficult but I don't want him to let go.

"I feel the same way about you"

I fucking did it. I said it out loud and he knows how i feel. A wide smile formed on his lips. He was beaming, pulling me into a tight hug. I fit right in. His arms wrapped around me, i felt what i felt that night. Comfort. Warmth. I felt like i was home, even though technically I'm just a few feet away from the front door to a house i find comfort in.

Why do i ruin the vibe all the time?

"That's my girl" he whispered into my ear, before pulling me into a kiss. His towering figure engulfing me in his arms. His soft lips attacking mine. It was everything, it felt like every good emotion take over me all at once. The way he was kissing me as if he was thirsty and i was his only source of water, i could feel how much he missed me. And i missed him too.

"Okay pack it up Bonnie and Clyde this is a PG neighborhood" Anna's voice called out for us from the distance, making us burst out laughing in the middle of our kiss.

"Come back with me" he whispered, his eyes were longing for me. As always, he looked like a painting under the moonlight. The bright like was glistening, making his eyes even more beautiful to stare into.

I nodded my head.

Guess I'm all yours Adam King.
