CHAPTER 7

ADAM

 

I wait patiently for an answer from her. I want to see her again if she’ll let me, I honestly didn’t expect that.

I’m part in shock that she even looked so happy with me, let alone let me kiss her. That kind of kiss shouldn’t have got me so hard in my jeans that I can’t sit straight - but it did. It was innocent, sweet. I don’t do either of those things but with Darcy... I’m willing to, if she’ll give me the chance.

“So, what you say?” She nods as her eyes trace my face.

“Yes. I’d like that.” Darcy says quietly. I pull on the hand that I’m holding,

“Come here…” She leans in as I catch her lips with mine again.

Loosening her hand, they instantly go to her face and cup her cheeks. I want to devour her but let’s start small, kissing her with more passion this time, my tongue seeks out hers and they tangle in sync; like I’d always been kissing her. I’ve never really wanted a relationship with any girl but Darcy is different.

Pulling away, I watch as her tongue peeks out to lick her lips. My dick is straining against the zip of my jeans. Easy there, boy!

I try to readjust myself without Darcy seeing but I fail miserably. She laughs as I shake my head. “What can I say, he’s a lively one.”

She laughs loudly again but I see the blush in her cheeks too. “Oh my god Adam! I can’t believe you just that!” She puts her face in her hands and shakes her head too.

“What? It’s not my fault. It’s yours! He likes you…” I say wide eyed.

“I have to go. Thank you for a brilliant day, I’ve really enjoyed myself.”

I lean across and kiss her lips again, tenderly this time though. She smiles as I pull away then steps back from the truck.

I roll the window down as she shuts the door, “I’ll call you later babe!” Before she can tell me off for calling her that I take off down the road.

 

Walking in the house, I see that everyone’s here. Great! Todd, Chris and Taylor, even Aidan and Stacy are here. Hmm, what’s the occasion?

 

“Shit well, wonders will never cease. You remembered where we live then?” I say to my brother Aidan, who looks as happy as ever, grumpy fucker. If truth be known I’m not that keen on my sister in law, I’m polite - that’s it.

Aidan looks at me frowning, “What’s that supposed to mean?” he says like he doesn’t know.

“Um, I think that means you never come here,” I pause, “unless you want something,” I mumble under my breath. Taylor looks straight at me and smirks, she heard me if no-one else did - she knows.

“How was your ‘friend’ date, Ad?” Todd speaks over the crowd in the living room.

“It was good thanks. You should try getting a... ‘friend’.” I reply, laughing. He gives me the middle finger, making me laugh at him some more.

“You’ve got a friend then, Adam?” asks Aidan.

“You’d know if you made the effort to keep in touch more...”

“Oooh, tetchy. What you bitchin’ for?”

“Screw you,” I say curling my lip up. I don’t need this shit from him.

“Adam, Aidan, that’s enough. Can you not sit in the same room for long enough without bickering like a couple of girls?” Says Mum, forever the peacemaker. I raise my middle finger at him behind Mum’s back then sit on the sofa and Taylor comes to sit next to me.

“So, how was your date?” Taylor asks bumping her shoulder with mine as I look at her smirking, “I can’t wait to meet her!”

“No way, you’ll lead her astray!”

Taylor hangs her mouth open in shock. “Me?” she answers clutching her chest. “I don’t know what you mean.”

“Yeah ok…” I answer chuckling.

“How’s the new house, Taylor?” Stacy asks in her sickly, sweet voice. Ugh, I can’t stay here. As I get up I ruffle Taylor’s hair, I know how much she hates it.

“ADAM, FOR GOD’S SAKE!” Taylor shouts at me as I leave the room, I enter the kitchen still laughing and get a can of coke from the fridge.

I turn to see Chris leaning against the table, “Come on then, details. Did you take my advice?”

“I did. Until she kissed me on the cheek and then I knew she wanted me, I mean who wouldn’t?”

“Fuck off Adam, I hope you didn’t say that? Now drop the cockiness and talk to me.”

“I really like her... I did kiss her but like I said, it was only after she kissed me first. We had a really good time and I’m seeing her again.”

“See you can do it,” he says as I smile remembering the happiness on her face.

“We talked quite a bit, got to know each other a little bit more... it was good. She’s fucking hot man.”

Chris grabs me in a headlock, his form of affection until we get called back into the living room.

We walk in together and ask what’s wrong. Aidan then stands up and says he has an announcement.

“Oh, here we go…” I say quietly again.

“I thought we’d tell you altogether. Stacy and I are having a baby. She’s fourteen weeks along now.”

My Mum jumps up happily, goes to Aidan and Stacy to congratulate them. I’m happy for them don’t get me wrong. Aidan and I have always had the sibling rivalry and probably always will. I’m going to have to make sure my niece or nephew doesn’t turn into the devil’s spawn.

I watch as everyone take turns to congratulate them and then I do my bit. I shake Aidan’s hand and kiss Stacy on the cheek.

“I can’t wait to babysit. Uncle Adam will teach him or her a thing or two.”

Their faces are a picture as they realise what I said. I take that as a win and sit back down with a smug grin on my face. My work here is done!
