Yours Sincerely

CHAPTER 22: I ADMIRE YOU...

SAPPHIRE’S POV:

“Why would you even think like that?!” Adam practically screamed as he sat on the couch behind him. I on the other hand was a crying mess. I didn't want to cry but the tears just won't stop. I felt a light pull on my hand and felt myself sitting on Adam’s lap.

“Why would you think that I'll ever leave you?” Adam whispered near my ears making me sob silently. Adam signed.

“Angel, I know you never cry after small things and if something makes you cry then it's not just something. Please tell me what is going on in your head. If not as a partner then let it be as a friend.” His voice calmed me down and I took a few deep breaths to control the overflowing dam of my eyes. 

“I... I thought you would think it's all because of me.” I whispered. 

“How is it all because of you?” Adam moved my head making me look at him. His stare was so intense that if it would have been anyone else the person would have pissed his pants.

“Well, you see, it all started just a month after I came into your life. It is pretty obvious that the person who is doing this is not on good terms with me but then the only person who is not on the good terms with me is Olivia and Noah. And I've already done a check on them. They are not behind these pathetic acts. It's someone else. Someone, I don't know I'm on bad terms with. Which is the actual scary part.” I huffed as I felt relaxed after telling everything to him.

We sat in complete silence for a long time and I closed my eyes to make them look normal again after all the crying I've done.

“Come on, let's have dinner. I made Chorizo Carbonara. I hope you like it.” I looked at him in shock. He chucked looking at my face and picked me up bridal style, taking me to the dining area.

“Adam tell me!” I whimpered as he sat me down on the chair. Smiling goofily, the man child sat beside me and served dinner.

I looked at him for one last time before shaking my head and looked forward to my meal. We are dinner, smiling and sharing. I moaned and complemented his dish with the praising words. Not only that, but he also took out a bottle of classic white wine and a glass of fresh juice for him and me. It has been like this from the very beginning. He always knows what kind of drink I'll prefer. Even if he had never had any drinks he can judge from my face that the guess was right or wrong.

Sometimes, everything else seems to be too small to be sad. The small gestures that are made by your loved ones are too much for happiness. I don't know how people deal with their problems but for me, one smile from Adam is enough to make me fight against my fears. Maybe this is what dad wanted me to feel. Maybe this is how we feel when we have a family that loves us, cares for us, cherish us.

Maybe...

I was pulled out of my thoughts by a light shook on my shoulders pulled me out of the thoughts. I looked up at Adam who was now standing behind me with two dessert plates in his hands and a smile on his face. I smiled back and took the plates out of his hand and replaced them with our dinner plates on the table. I was about to sit in my place but Adam quietly pulled me on his lap and I sat comfortably as always.

These small things are so normal to me, him making me sit on his lap while we are sharing some talks, carrying me around all the time to spoil me, feeding me dessert after our date. It only feels natural the way it is.

I saw the dessert and grinned at the cherry and almond crumbles. Adam made me have the first bite and I closed my eyes my favourite flavour was savoured by my taste buds. A pleasant groan escaped my mouth before I could stop it.

I saw Adam and laughed as I saw him looking at me with a blush on his own. He can be cute too. The rest of the dessert went on by making each other blush with words and have a good time by teasing each other that how red we can be.

“The food and desserts were delicious, love,” I whispered and kissed his cheeks before standing up from his lap and taking the dishes to the kitchen.

“Thank you, Angel.” Adam kissed my forehead and took the remaining dishes as he came after me.

As usual, we cleared the kitchen and I did the dishes while Adam placed them back in their respective places. I noted the cabinet and took a quick look in the kitchen drawers, to get familiar with the stuff and Adam sat on one of the kitchen island stools.

We talked for a while, but neither of us made any attempt to touch any of the sensitive subjects. After a few minutes, we moved to the bedroom as it was already past 12.

“I don't have any nightwear with me.” Adam looked at me and moved aside from the entrance of his closet. I quickly took one of Adam’s t-shirt and shorts before moving to the bathroom. After changing into the comfortable pair of clothes I washed my face and brushed my teeth with the extra toothbrush available.

After I was done with my face, I left the bathroom and kept my clothes on one of the hangers in the closet and hung it on the side of the door. I slide closed the door and saw Adam sitting on the bed with his head rested on the headrest and eyes closed.

I kept looking at him all the while I laid down on the bed. After a while, when he didn't say anything, I took that as a sign that he doesn't want to talk about today's encounter.

“I ADMIRE YOU, SAPPHIRE.” I heard a very sensitive whisperer, making me open my eyes to see the bright beautiful ones staring at me with nothing but love and respect.

“What?” I asked him sitting up near him. He continued to look at me with his intense gaze.

“You wanted to answer your insecurities. I didn't want to get married in my teenage and then a girl changed my opinion, I didn't know yet have to feel the most beautiful emotion of life and the girl made me realise that. I don't know who it is that's behind all this circus but I can promise you one thing for sure, you are stuck with me for a lifetime.” I chuckled lightly and rested my head on his shoulder.

“I’ve not stuck anywhere. I’m very happy living with the man I admire the most too.” Adam chuckled with me and pulled me closer to him.

“We'll find out who is after all these, you don't have to worry about that.” I shook my head, I already told him that we have nowhere to find out how we are in this mess. He understands it too. He knows that when I say I can't get any further, then there is no way to the truth until we find something new.

Adam and I talked about the attacks and he talked to Antonio as he informed him about the situation and today's message. We decided to stay out of the world for a day and Uncle Ethan happily agreed to tell Adam that he will check the required documents himself.

I couldn't be any more thankful for it as a relaxing day is all we want in the middle of all the problems. 

I felt my eyes drop and Adam laid us down and pulled me over his chest before he covered us with a duvet. I pulled the duvet up to my nose and signed in content when I breathed in Adam’s natural scent.

“Gute Nacht Engel.” (Good night Angel) I heard Adam mumble in German and soon after I fell asleep with a soft smile planted on my face.
