“How could you think that was okay?” He said before turning his back to me.
“But I’m back, Adrian. We can just forget any of these happened and live with each other peacefully”, I tried to reason with him.
“Forget it? We should just forget it? Being here doesn’t automatically erase the pain I felt when you were not here. I thought I failed you, not knowing that you already knew the outcome”, he raised his voice at me.
“You chose the day Mom left me to leave too. Did you think of how hard it must have been for me?” He kept talking.
“For 3 months, I refused to carry Nathan’s child. I thought holding her and acknowledging another one with your name would seal the fact that you’re gone and you’re never coming back”.
“I was supposed to be her godfather and I had barely bonded with her. You know why? I was a fucking coward who didn’t want to admit that you were no more. And I’m supposed to just forget?” He shouted, panting heavily before sitting on the bed.
I stood up from where I was still sitting on the floor and moved to sit beside him on the bed. I slowly wrapped my arms around him and held him close to my chest, thanking the moon goddess when he gave in and didn’t flinch from me.
“You know what? You’re right”, I sniffled before I continued speaking. “I was selfish and inconsiderate. I thought I was doing everyone a favour by not staying alive. I thought that everyone will be automatically saved once I lost my life”.
“I should have trusted you. I should have been with you after you lost Rose. I didn’t want to leave you, I swear to the moon, I thought I might be able to beg the Fates to untie our destiny so that you won’t have to leave the world so soon”.
“I’m so sorry. I’m really sorry”, I cried as I held him. We stayed like that for a while just crying and breathing in the smell of each other.
“No more secrets between us, okay? I want to share all of my life problems and joy with you with nothing standing between us”, he looked up and cupped my cheeks to which I nodded.
“No more secrets”, I nodded and brought his lips to mine, electricity crackling through me at being in close contact with him.
“This feels so good, Adrian. I never want to have to stay away from you again”, I murmured into our kiss and he hummed in agreement.
He pulled back, making me whimper needily. “Why did you stop?” I whined and he chuckled lightly. “Let me etch every part of you into my memory. I never want to have to let go off any part of you”, he whispered as he gently stroked my cheeks.
“You’re so beautiful”, he whispered. Before I could say anything else, he covered my mouth with his and lifted me onto his laps.
Our making out was interrupted by a shrill sound and Adrian groaned in anger. He stomped over to where his phone was lying on the floor, probably from when he was sitting down there, and picked it up.
“I swear to God, you better have a good reason for calling me now or I will……”, he started speaking but was cut off by the other voice on the line.
“Thank God you’re okay”, Nathan said, sounding relieved. “I was not able to reach you through the mindlink and I felt you getting stressed for a while before it got cut off. Are you fine? Is everything alright with Lola? I mean not okay okay but you get what I mean”, he took a deep breath before he continued speaking.
“Do you want me to come over?” He asked after a while but Nathan shook his head. “No, man, I’ll be over in a few”.
“Are you sure?”
“Without a doubt, man”, he said. He was about to hang up when he spoke again. “And Nathan?”
“Yeah?” Nathan replied. “I have a surprise for the whole pack”. With that, he hung up the phone and eagerly came to hold my hand.
“I got distracted for a while but I have something to show you”, he said excitedly like a kid that was taken into a candy store.
He led me into the walk-in closet and my jaw dropped when I saw what he pointed at.
“Happy 19th birthday, my Queen”.
Lola’s POV
“Oh my goddess”, I whispered but he heard it anyway. “Do you like it?” He asked and I nodded.
“Like is an understatement, I love it so much”, I hugged him and buried my face into his chest. I never want to be away from this man again.
I turned away from him and gazed at the dress again. It was a very gorgeous blood red dress. What really got my attention was the intricate patterns used to design the upper part of the dress.
It was long sleeved but transparent which will allow my milky skin to be seen when I wear it. The bust was designed to not show my boobs while my stomach skin could also be seen through the dress. The lower part of the dress was mermaid style with a very long tail.
I could feel my confidence rise just looking at the dress. Hands wrapped me, pulling me impossibly close to him. He kissed the top of my head while I relaxed into his touch.
“Did you pick this out?” I asked him and he hummed his response. “How are you so perfect, young man?” I asked him with a giggle.
“The same way you’re the most amazing being on the planet”, he said and turned my body to face him. I cupped and brought his lips to meet mine.
It was supposed to be a very quick kiss to the lips but it escalated pretty fast. He wrapped one of his hands around my waist and gently parted my lips with his tongue.
I couldn’t resist his touch and wrapped my hands around his neck as I deepened the kiss. I moaned into his lips, eliciting a groan of pleasure from him.
“I almost forgot how perfect your body is against mine”, he pulled back from our kiss and said to me with a smile that sent my heart into an overdrive.
“How soon do we have to be at the pack house?” I asked him and he smirked. “In 2-3 hours, why do you ask?”
“Yup. Definitely have enough time”, I pulled him back to me and kissed him. My kiss held every of my emotions and desires and I could feel his too.
