"Café?" Aaron asked me and I nodded.
"See you there." I muttered and he nodded, giving Adam one last look before leaving.
"Get dressed, we need to talk. If you're sober, that is." I crossed my arms over my chest and his eyes immediately flitted down before he swallowed thickly.
I looked down and cursed under my breath, now remembering I was wearing a strapped silky crop top with matching shorts.
"My eyes are up here." I hissed and he looked back at me shook his head.
"Sorry. I'll be ready in a while." He said and I nodded, pointing to the fresh clothes Aaron had given me.
"Those are for you." I said and saw him nod once as he picked them up but before he could say anything else to me I had already slipped into my room.
I took a refreshing shower, spending longer than necessary in there before I finally came out and headed straight for my closet.
Blow drying my hair, I applied some cherry lip gloss and smacked my lips together, satisfied with the result.
I pushed my curtain bangs away from my face and put on my small gold earrings and matching necklaces.
Looking for my rings, I searched drawer after drawer until I found them, but stumbled on something else entirely as well.
Good god.
Pulling out the silver ring, I felt my eyes gloss over as I remembered when it was given to me and by who.
"I just want you to promise me one thing. Please." Adam said while I still sat on the table as he pushed away my hair from my face.
"Anything." I said smiling a little, to which he gave me an unsure smile.
"I want you to stay with me. Because I don't know what I'd do without you. Please, just don't... leave me. I can't lose you." He said, his eyes vulnerable as my heart rate picked up speed when I saw him taking off a ring from his pinkie finger and holding it out to me.
