I woke up in the dark with Adam holding me close. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Adam immediately woke with worried eyes.
"You okay?" He asked quickly.
"Yeah I'm alright." I nodded.
"You sure-" I interrupted Adam by holding his face.
"Adam I am okay. I promise." I said looking into his eyes. Things get crazily and when I look at him it seems like he puts things back into place. He nodded slowly with the worry still in his eyes. I let go of his face.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked softly.
"Tell you what?" I said with a confuse look on your face.
"About your mother.." He said. I sat down on his lap and sighed.
"It was just something that never came up I guess.." I shrugged. "I need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back."
I escaped his grasp and walked out of his room. I went into the hallway and went inside the nearest bathroom. I walked up to the sink and turned on the faucet. I splashed cold water on my face. I sighed and looked up at myself in the mirror. I fixed my hair into the ponytail and examined myself in the mirror. My makeup was smudge a bit I sighed into the mirror. I grabbed a few tissues and wiped away all my makeup. I was a complete mess but at this point I couldn't complain.
I opened the bathroom door. I was walking back to Adam's room but a small light caught my eye. It was coming from a certain room. I slowly walked up to the door and reluctantly turned the knob. I pushed open the door walked in. The room had a slight coldness as if somebody hadn't been there in years. It was slightly dark but a bright slim light was peaking through the curtains. The furniture was covered in white sheets. I crossed my arms a little as I was looking around.
"Exploring?" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around to see Adam leaning against the door frame. A slight frown was on his face.
"Yeah um..sorry." I said as I looked down at the floor.
He straighten up and shoved his hands in his pockets. I felt Adam walked past me. I bit down on my lip. I shouldn't have come in here.
"Poised and elegant..those are the words to describe her."
I looked up a little. "Who's her?" I asked slowly.
"My mother."
Then all the sudden a flash of light was brought in causing me to wince. I looked up slowly and something came over me I couldn't describe. There was a large painted portrait on the wall. In the portrait was a women. She was posing as if she wasn't even trying. Her dark brown hair flowed down her shoulders. Something made my breath hitched was when I looked into those very familiar bright sapphire eyes. Her skin was pale but flawless. Her smile was absolutely raident.
It was no doubt in my mind that this was Adam's mother.
✴✴
We were back in Adam's room and I was analyzing him as he was talking.
"My mom was great. She was funny and she knew everything. Nothing could get past her.." Adam smiled a bit as he spoke.
"She was a terrible cook. She could burn boiled water." He chuckled a bit.
"She up and left before my thirteenth birthday. I don't know where she went and I don't know why..my dad never speaks of her. And the worse part is Lucy is going to be without a mother. She'll never know what she was like. She won't know what it's like to have a mother. And there's no way I could be that for her." He said softly.
"Why didn't you tell me before Adam?" I said just as softly.
"If you haven't noticed, I'm not the share your feelings type Kendall."
I stayed quiet and looked away.
He sighed. "Look..I don't like talking about my mother alright?" He said.
I saw the slight hurt in his eyes but he tries burying it with a blank look but I could still see it. Maybe that was the reason he was high that night. It almost cracked my heart in half just to see him like that. Right about then I figured out his mother was his walls. It seems like weren't so different after all.
"Come here.." I said softly. He crawled on the bed and we were faced to face. I pressed my lips against his slowly. He put a hand against my cheek. Our kisses were soft and leisurely. I was lifted to his lap. He explored my mouth slowly. My hands tangled in his hair. I bit down on his bottom lip lightly he groaned softly.
His lips moved away from me and down to my neck and my jawline. I felt his soft kisses on my flesh like little patterns. My heart was beating a little faster. He kisses trailed down my collarbone. Adam sucked on my sweet spot sending me in shivers. I moaned softly as he kept going.
I took off his shirt my fingertips slid down his six pack. He took off my shirt leaving me in my bra. Adam kisses the valley of my breast. I bite down on my lip hard as he laid me down softly. I felt something swirled in my chest. Adam stared at me intensely.
"Beautiful.." He whispered. I playfully rolled my eyes. He chuckled slightly as his hands made it to my shorts. He pulled them down slowly.
"Addy!" I heard someone yell in the hallway. Adam froze in place and groaned. "Addy!" I heard the voice shout again.
"No.." He whined. He buried his head into my stomach. I couldn't help but laugh. I covered my face to hide my smile.
"Maybe if we ignore her she'll go away.." Adam whispered eagerly.
"Adam.." I laughed. He was in the midst of pulling off my underwear. "Adam Lucy's going to come back."
He kissed my middle. "Don't think negatively." He whispered.
"Adam put my shorts back on." I ordered softly. Adam whined and put my shorts back on. "Hey look at me.." I said. Adam gazed at me. "We can finish this later." I said lowly. I lifted my leg up slowly to the bulge in Adam's pants. He groaned slowly I dont know if was from pleasure or irritation. His eyes were filled with lust but he fought it.
He got off the bed and muttered something. I grabbed my shirt and put it back on. Adam snatched his shirt from the bed and grumbled to himself.
"You are so greedy.." I shook my head and smiled.
"Is it my fault that you're good at what you do!" He shot back. I bit down on my lip and looked down.
"I told you we would finish later."
"But I was in the zone." He grumbled as opened the door. And little Lucy was sitting quietly at the door. She had a huge smile on her face.
"Hi Addy!" She lifted her arms up. Adam picked her up with a small glare.
I cleared my throat and gave him a look to be nice. He rolled his eyes looking back at Lucy. "Lucy how did you get out of the crib?"
"I climb out." She said boredly. Adam frowned slighty. She turned her head and smiled at me. "Hi Ken!" She yelled.
"Hi Lucy.." I laughed. She wiggled out of his grasp and waddled up to me. She sat on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her small body.
"I wanna make cookies!"
"Lucy were not making cookies." Adam rejected.
"We're making cookies." I said.
"Yay!" Lucy bounced on the bed.
"Kendall!" Adam glared.
"Adam." I shot back.
He put his hands up in surrender "Fine! We'll make the d-" I shot him a look as Lucy tilted her head a little bit.
"We will make the darn cookies.." He sighed.
"Yay!" Lucy squealed. She hopped out of my arms and ran up to Adam.
"I'll be right there." I smiled. Adam gave me a questioning look. "I need to call Aiden." I said. He nodded and walked out of the room.
I picked up my phone and dialed Aiden's number.
"Where are you?" Aiden asked as he picked on the first ring.
"At Adam's. Are you going to be okay without me for a few hours?" I asked him.
"Actually you don't need to come home. Mom actually made dinner.." Aiden said with an uneven tone.
"Did she?" I was thoroughly shocked myself.
"Yeah..when you said you'd take care of it what did you do exactly?" He asked worried.
"Throwed a vase at her." I said looking down at the floor.
"Well that explains the missing vase.." He said boredly.
"Yeah. Look I'll be home tomorrow or something okay?"
"Alright."
"Love you nerd!"
"Shut up." Then he hung up on me. I couldn't help but laugh.
✴✴
Before I walked into the kitchen I threw on some of Adam's clothes.
I walked down stairs and turned the corner to find Lucy yelling at Adam.
"I don't want heart cookies! I want star cookies!" Lucy yelled at him. She's precious.
"What is the difference!" Adam yelled back.
"The shapes you dummy!" Lucy glared.
"You are a pain in the-"
"Okay let's get started!" I said walking in. Adam eyes darted up to me. His eyes scanned my body and up to my face. A wicked smirk runs across his face. I looked away and bit my lip. I walked up to the stove and turn on the oven.
"I want to do star cookies!" Lucy annouced.
"Then star cookies it is." I smiled as I turned to her.
"Yayy!" She giggled. I grabbed flour in bowl and grab the eggs.
"Oo! Can I crack an egg Ken?" Lucy said excitedly. Her blue eyes lit up when I pulled out a egg. I couldn't help but smile.
"Sure," I gave her a egg. "Make sure it's over the bowl." I warned.
She nodded and grabbed an egg. Adam sat down and crossed his arms amusingly. "This should be fun.."
"What does that mean?" Lucy glared. I took a seat watching this scene unfold.
"Nothing Lucy just crack your egg," Adam said.
She gave him one last glare and focused on her egg. She splats the egg on the bowl making egg yolk and shells go everywhere.
Adam bursted into laughter. Lucy's face became red with a anger. All the sudden she grabs some sprinkles throwing it at him violently causing sprinkles to fly everywhere. Adam was still laughing as she stormed out of the room.
I rolled my eyes and smacked Adam in the back of the head. Hard. "Ow! What the hell!" He said.
"Get your head out of your ass and clean this mess up and when I come back I want you apologize and be a kind and helpful older brother. You ass hat!" I said firmly. He rolled his eyes as I walked out of the room.
I found Lucy sitting on the step glaring at her shoes. I walked up to her slowly. "Hey Lucy.." I said softly.
"Why does he have to act like such a butthead?" She said looking at the stairs. I sighed and kneeld in front of her.
"Because all boys are butt heads." I said like it was a fact.
"All of them?" She asked looking up. Her blue eyes was almost worried.
"Yeah..but don't worry you'll find a boy who isn't such a butthead."
"Have you already found one?"
I immediately thought of Adam. A small smile grew on my face slowly. "No," I said.
If I said I did I would be lying and I don't lie to kids.
"Oh.." She said sadly.
"But I did I find a boy who's a butthead but sometimes can be nice.." I mentioned. I should at least throw him a bone right? Lucy nodded softly with a little glimmer of hope in her eyes. "You know what were going to do. We're going to go back in there and show Adam we can make great cookies like a pro!" I said.
"Like a boss!"
"Like a boss!" I laughed. She lifted her hand to give a high five. I gave her little hand a high five.
"Let's go!" She said excitedly.
I love Lucy. If you any of you guys got that reference, we can be friends. She's literally adorable. And you guys don't have to wait for another chapter because one is coming up!
Stay tuned.
