Yours Sincerely

CHAPTER 28: A GOOD LAUGH...

SAPPHIRE’S POV:

We sat at the table with candles lit in the middle as we are our dinner in the usual comfortable silence. It is universal to Adam's family too that neither He nor I speak a word while having our meals. It is just a simple good habit that we developed over a few weeks while we met each other for the first time.

After dinner, I took the plated and Adam took the rest of the utensils to the kitchen. As always, we cleared the dining room and kitchen and I did the dishes while side by side Adam kept them at their respective places.

Adam kept looking at me while I washed my hand and wiped them dry.

“You want to announce the marriage tomorrow, hun?” I looked at him worryingly and tried to ignore the lump that rose in my throat and nodded at him first before shaking my head negative.

“I want to do it, Adam. But everything I do during this week duration is like a complete obligation to me. I eat to run to the office, I smile at my employee's Greetings. I sleep cause you make sure I've slept before you hung up. I don't want to be like this Adam. But I can't change it either.” I signed as he pulled me into the living room and sat on the sofa, making me sit on his lap as I was straddling him while facing him.

I rested my hands over his shoulders and rested my head over my hand, looking at him. He ran his fingers through my hair and we kept our quiet for a long time. Just leaning over and looking at each other in the silence of the house.

“You have to come out of your shell, Angel. I know it is painful but you can do it and I know it. You have to give it a chance so that you can be happy too.” He kissed my cheeks lightly and I closed my eyes.

“You have always been the strong one between us. And I don't think I'll be able to get that stability in any other of our age.” He kept running his fingers across my hair and I kept my eyes close, listening to his voice.

“I will think about it, the more I see your face the more I want to be with you in tomorrow's event. I think I surely won't be able to say ‘no’ to you.” I whispered and hugged his broad shoulders close.

“Okay! Let's go to bed then, shall we?” I nodded my head and giggled as Adam stood up and swings me so that he can carry me up to my room, in bridal style.

I swayed my legs and leaned my head over his chest while he walked up to the room. I was thrown onto the bed as Adam followed the suit and huffed in frustration.

“What happened?” I looked at him while wiggling my brows.

“I have to take a shower!” He chuckled while looking at me.

I pushed him off the bed and laughed as he pouted and stood up from the rug and went to the bathroom. Minutes later, I heard the water flowing and sat up straight to look at the famous and cliche view of a Stunning Greek God walking out of the bathroom in nothing but a low waist towel warped around him and the droplets of water that are lucky enough to have a taste of his heavenly looking body.

Vallah Sapphire! You are officially corrupted! What Am I even thinking?

I shook my head hard to get rid of all the unwanted pictures of my mind as they were clicked while I Skyped him. Heat raised over my cheeks and I kept my cold palms over them to hide it desperately as I heard the shower close.

But as soon as Adam came out of the shower, I frowned looking at him. I looked at me curiously and made a funny face, not knowing what was going on in my highly unholy thoughts. Adam came out of the bathroom with sweatpants and a sweatshirt on.

I paused for a minute and burst out laughing at how silly my thoughts went on. Or I can consider them wild? Yup! Wild it is. 

“What? Is there something I'm my face?” Adam asked touching his face and I shook my head, answering even before I could analyse the question.

“I thought I would see you as they describe in the movies and Novels. You know, walking out of the bathroom in just a towel with water dripping from your hair and some drops on that beautifully scraped abs and I drawl on the...” I kept my hand over my mouth to stop my babbling. I can't believe I said that out loud. What am I, 17?!

Okay, so actually I'm 17. But that doesn't mean I have to act like a lusty teenager!

The man in front of me bit his lips and was almost red from all the effort he made to stop himself from bursting out, laughing. I signed and shook my head before smiling.

“You can laugh!” AND it went on for the next 20 minutes.

Yup! He laughed and cried at the same time and I sat on the bed with a pout on my lips. How can I make a full out of myself in front of him, so easily? God!!
