Never close our eyes

Chapter 23- Waking up next to you

I woke up, the sun softly touching my face.

I squinted my eyes and slowly opened it a bit more. My back was aching so painfully and I felt like I slept on the wrong side of the bed. I yawned and tried to stretch my arms.

Wait.

I can't stretch them.

I widened my eyes, trying to see what the problem was. And I saw that Adam was the problem. He had his arm still wrapped around me. He looks so charming as he slept with a small smile on his mouth. I took a closer look at him, admiring his beauty. His eyelashes were longer than I thought, and his skin and lips were full of freckles.

He's a ginger...

Cute.

I looked around, making sure not to wake him up.

Wait.

I was surprised to see that we were still at the roof top.

We slept at the roof top, all night long?

Well no wonder I have an aching back.

I felt Adam grunt a little bit and nudge. He squinted his eyes.

Wow. Waking up next to Adam...

Of course, nothing happened...

If you know what I mean...

Adam stretched a bit and looked at me with sleepy eyes.

"Good morning." I smiled.

"G'morning." he smiled at squinted his eyes. Then he lifted my face with his hand and gave me a short yet powerful kiss. No matter how many times we kiss, I would always feel electricity in my body. I would always feel like it was my first kiss.

That's what Adam does to me.

I gave him a smile and blushed when he let go.

"I have bad breath." I joked.

Actually, I think I really did have bad breath.

"Does it matter?" he teased and rubbed my hair with his thumb.

"It does to me." I scoffed and gave him a peck on the lips.

I sat up. My back was totally killing me.

"Then what was that kiss?" he raised one eyebrow and tried to sit up with his elbows.

I stood up and stretched my arms, sucking in the beautiful atmosphere. It wasn't so hot yet because the sun was only rising. The rooftop had such a nice view.

"Revenge." I winked and put one hand on my hip.

"I think I'm gonna like getting revenge from you." he chuckled and sat up.

"We totally slept here the whole night, didn't we?" I added.

"Yeah." he grinned and looked at the ground with sleepy eyes.

He looks so cute...

"My back's killing me though." he grunted and stretched.

"You think you're the only one?" I raised one eyebrow and stretched.

Stupid rooftop floor.

And yet, even a back ache that's a million times worse would be worth it. Just to wake up next to Adam.

We're in this together.... he said.

I'll be counting on that...

He suddenly looked at me and I had to look away to pretend I wasn't looking at him like some maniac.

"I saw that." he teased and stood up.

"What?" I defended.

Oh c'mon, Mandy. He's not blind.

He walked towards me and wrapped his arms around my hips.

"You know what I saw." he gave me a daring look.

"Mandy Bright is checking me out." he looked down at me and grinned.

"Am I?" I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. He bit my lip softly and took a small inhale to prevent himself from losing breath again.

Looking into his eyes just makes me want to kiss him.

He pulled me closer, our bodies touching.

The kiss was amazingly soft, perfect and sweet. Nothing too harsh...

Just a sweet, heart fluttering kiss.

Just the way I like it...

He finally let go. Nooo....

Wait, Mandy. Don't take advantage of it.

I didn't want him to stop.

He looked at me with so much love and desire.

Is this what love is?

All my life, I make out with guys all the time. But I do it for fun. Not because I actually desire that person. No one has ever made me feel the way that Adam did. Adam was the only person that I kissed with so much sweetness and desire. When I look into his eyes, I never want to let go.

Well, I have to let go anyway.

You have work, Mandy. Don't overdo it.

"Wait. I have work today." I smiled and let go of Adam.

"Can't you go tomorrow?" he pleaded and tightened his wrap around my hips.

I really love this guy.

"No, dummy. Customers need me." I laughed and pushed him away gently.

If it was just me, I wouldn't mind even living at the rooftop; if it meant that I wouldn't need to leave.

"So do I" he pouted and pleaded with puppy eyes, not letting me go.

"You've had me all night." I raised my eyebrow and grinned. "Don't be greedy." I joked.

"All right, all right." he chuckled and let go of me, giving a kiss on my forehead.

I just chuckled and fixed my hair.

"I'm gonna take a shower first." I added.

"Want me to come with you?" he gave me a seducing look.

"You can come with me to my room. But not to the shower, pervert." I teased and giggled.

"Aww..." he frowned with pleading eyes.

He's so cute. How can I resist him?

But I must, of course.

"C'mon." I nudged him for us to go back to my room so I could take a shower.

He put his arm around me and we walked to the elevator.

Oh Adam...

What am I gonna do with you....
