Chapter 23

Sadie's POV

Adam just left a few minutes ago. I can't believe he would just kiss me like that. He just took my first kiss! I was planning to save it for someone special. But I couldn't help but blush at the thought of it.

A few minutes of staring at the faded, navy blue wallpaper, I started to feel lonely, sitting by myself in his big house so I decided to go home. I even wrote a note for him. Just in case he freaked out when he came back and saw that I was gone. Right when I was about to walk out the front door, I realized that I didn't have my car with me.

Which was why I was back where I started, sitting alone on his bed. I don't know how long I sat there, but the longer I waited, the more anxious I felt. He's been gone for a long time I thought worriedly. Is he okay? Did he go pick a fight with Sam? Scary thoughts continued pop into my head. But my eyelids began to grow heavy and before I knew it, I was asleep.

I moaned and blocked my eyes from the sunlight shining through the windows. I blinked several times and yawned. Where am I? I looked around the room and remembered what happened yesterday. I was about to sit up when someone pulled me back down. Right into a warm embrace. It was Adam. He had his arms wrapped tightly around my waist and my head was squished against his chest. I could hear his even heartbeat. We were just that close to each other. I tried to pull myself away from him, but he only tightened his hold on me, by pulling me even closer. Now I could feel his warm breath on my forehead.

"Don't leave me.." he mumbled sleepily.

I looked up at his sleeping face and sighed. I'll let him do this once. Just once. I'm only doing this because he helped me yesterday I told myself. But inside, I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach from hearing those words.

An hour later, I found that I had fallen asleep in his arms. I woke up and saw hazel eyes staring at me.

"Morning Sandie," he teased.

I grunted and pulled myself away from him. "Next time I'm sleeping on the ground," I said.

"Fine with me. There's more space on the ground anyways. We'll sleep there next time," he agreed.

"That's not what I meant!!!!" I exclaimed as I felt my face warm up in embarrassment. I threw up my arms in frustration and got off the bed. I hurried into a room that I assumed was the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I heard Adam laugh behind the closed door. I groaned.

Although it was just a bathroom, the interior was very fancy. I walked over to the sink and turned on the faucet. I washed my face and dried it with a towel. I opened the cabinet below the sink and looked for a spare toothbrush. Luckily there was one and I quickly (but thoroughly) brushed my teeth. I rinsed my mouth and looked at myself in the mirror. The white blouse I had on was wrinkled. I tried to straightened it out as much as I could, but to my dismay, the wrinkles were still there. Oh well this will have to do I said to myself. I combed my hair with my fingers and tied it into a messy bun.

When I was done, I unlocked the door and came out. Adam was no longer in the room and I could hear pots banging down in the kitchen. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

Adam was frying bacon. Two empty plates with eggs on them were beside him. He slid 2 slices of bacon on each plate and placed them on the counter in front of me. I sat down on the same stool that I fell from in high school and started to eat. Adam did the same and we finished in 15 minutes. 5 more minutes later, we left the house and was on the way to work.

We got out of his car together and walked toward the building. On the way there, he told me ridiculous jokes to make me laugh. And indeed I did. And before I knew it, we were already inside the building.

As we got closer to the front desk, I found myself staring at ground and holding my breath in nervousness. I silently prayed that Amanda was not there. Please. Pretty please. With a cherry on top. At first I thought my wish was granted when I didn't see her, but then I heard it. A high pitched squeal.

"Adam!!" she squealed loudly as she ran over to us. She slipped her arm through Adam's and stood next to him. I expected Adam to shake her off like he normally did, but to my surprise, he didn't. Instead, he smiled back at her and said "hi" back. That was something he normally didn't do. My eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"We have to go Adam, we're meeting the wedding planner today," she said.

Wedding?? Amanda was getting married?? To who? Why did Adam have to go? Now I was so confused.

I watched as Adam glared at Amanda before nodding in agreement. There was something going on, I could feel it. I just didn't know what it was.

"You're getting married Amanda?" I asked curiously. I need to get to the bottom of this. My curiosity was killing me. I wondered which lucky guy got to be stuck with her for his entire life.

"I am! In fact, he's here right now," she said sweetly. She looked over to Adam and squeezed his arm.

At first I was confused. But then realization struck me. Adam was marrying Amanda. I stared at Adam in horror.

"Sadie I can explain.." he started to say, but I already ran toward the elevators. I was sick of those 3 words. I can explain. Adam said that in high school when he lied to me. Sam said that yesterday when I found out he hit me with a car. Now Adam is what? Marrying Amanda? Why is so much things happening at once?

A/N: Here are some of the jokes Adam told Sadie. Try guessing what the answer is! :) I'll post the correct answers in the next chapter. Please no cheating! (that means don't search it up on Google)

Q: Poor people have it. Rich people need it. If you eat it, you die. What is it?

Q: What did Sergeant Peanut Butter shout out to his jelly police officers?

Q: Why did the cookie go see the doctor?

Q: Why is your nose not 12 inches long?

Q: Say milk five times really fast. Now what do cows drink?

Q: Why was the woman so happy she finished the jigsaw puzzle in 6 months?

Q: Why was the girl staring at the juice box?

This is one I made up myself: What did singing Sam name his company?

If you like these jokes and would like more, please do say so! I have plenty! ;)

Also, here's the question you asked for at the end of each chapter: what do you think should or is going to happen next?
