Stay tuned...
"You took a portrait of Adam?" Well, is he crazy? "Are you crazy? You need to take it down now." I say as I see some woman stop before his painting and start admiring it. At least I hope it's admiration for my work, not Adams's hotness. "It's too late for that now Alex, people love it. As they love everything else you made." "Enzo what if Adam sees it? How will I explain to him that I made a portrait of him? He will think I'm crazy." To be fair I made not one, but probably a hundred portraits of his over the years. "Maybe that will give you the opportunity to talk to him with the truth about your feelings. Or when he sees all the love you put into that painting he will finally open his eyes about how he feels about you." If seeing my face for years, seeing how my eyes look at him didn't tell him that already a painting won't make a difference. "Enzo I already told you that isn't in my plans anymore. I want Adam to find what he is looking for once Autumn wakes up. I dont want to ke
Knowing that Enzo and Julia would most probably walk out of that room happier than ever made me feel very joyful. I need something good to happen around me. Unfortunately, almost everything lately has been making me feel down. So now would be a perfect time for a pick me up. I walked the exhibition alone for a while, watching people as they admired not only my painting but paintings of other artists that were collabing in this show. I also saw that my brother managed to close a deal right here, I can't believe he brings work into everything. But what was more interesting was the way he was looking at his assistant. So help me God I think he likes her, and I hope that I am not mistaken when I say that I think she likes him as well. They make sure to keep a distance, at first glance someone who doesn't know Sasha would say that this is nothing, but I know my brother and even tho he most probably doesn't want to admit it to himself there will be a story there. That is if he doesn't dri
Adam's POVIt's been two days since Autumn fell into a coma. Two days that I spent sitting in my father's office because I couldn't be in the same waiting room with Domenic. Richard allowed him to stay close, to even enter her room. After all, he is the father of the baby, and I'm just a friend. Summer came to be by his side, and take his side. Not that I can blame her, after all, Domenic is her brother and Autumn did say that she would tell him the truth once everything clears up. I know that. I was just so angry with him at that moment that I didn't think. Maybe Autumn's love for him was bigger than she made herself believe. I knew I shouldn't have left her alone, Alice was the one who pushed her but I was guilty for not being there to protect her. For some reason, the universe made sure none of us were able to help her when she needed us.As I stare at my watch I realize Autumn isn't the only one I let down. It is Alex's big night and I am missing it. I promised I would be there bu
"Adam, stay here. There are already enough people there, dont add to the commotion. I'll inform you after I see her." Dad says before he runs out. Thank God, Autumn woke up. And there is one person I'd like to share it with more than anyone else. Besides she told me to call her if something like this happens. "Hello, again," Alex says as I hear a loud crowd around her. "Alex, Autumn woke up," I say and I can hear her shushing people around her. "Sorry, things got a little bit out of hand. Can you repeat what you said?" I hear her say as the noise around her dies down, she probably stepped away. "I said Autumn woke up," I repeat and I can hear her excitement. "Oh my God Adam, that is amazing news. So she is ok now?" "Dad went to see her now. I will know more later but I wanted to share the news with you right away." As I say that I realize that there have been a lot of things happening in my life and she is always the first person I want to talk to. "This night just got a lot bet
After that little interesting conversation with Mom, I couldn't relax. I just kept thinking about everything and how crazy it sounds. Alex is Sasha's sister, my best friend's sister. She was my best friend. It would be crazy to think that there was more to it with so many years of friendship at stake. But then why do I keep thinking about it? Why do I keep thinking about Alex? Seeing how I can't find peace in my thoughts I decided to get dressed and head back to the hospital. Maybe shaking on Autumn distracts me from the mess inside my head.I thought no one would be there since Dad told me he sent everyone home but when I got there I saw Uncle Richard in the waiting room talking to the nurse. It's hard for me to stand in front of him but by the time he looks at me it's too late to hide so I master up the courage to walk up to him again. "Adam you dont need to hide from me. I may have been a bit harsh before but I want you to know I dont blame you. This got out of our hands, and even
Two weeks laterAutumn is doing a lot better, fiscally that is. As for her memory, it's still gone. I kept Richard company for most days and the moment Domenic and his family were with Autumn. The only downside of being here was that I couldn't get in touch with Alex. I tried calling her many times but she never answered me. I even told Sasha to gently remind her to check her phone but he says that even he doesn't get to see her much anymore because she spends all of her time with Enzo. It seems only now I understand why he bothers me so much. He was after something even I didn't understand I wanted. But I won't waste any more time. Autumn goes home tomorrow, Richard already set up the helicopter to pick them up. Even Domenic. He managed to wile his way into their house. In his defense it seems like Autumn wants him there, so they give him a chance.But that means I'm going back home today. And no matter what I will see Alex. My heart beats so fast in my chest that I feel like a teena
Nothing, absolutely nothing in my life has ever felt so right. Right now, this moment, Alex is in my arms, her lush lips against mine. There was nothing soft or tentative about it, it was driven by passion, desire, and love. It was love that made this feel so whole, so complete it made the rest of the world around us fade away as I drove Alex back into the wall making sure there was no escape. The kiss was hot and electric sending my heart into overdrive as I could hear its beating in my ears along with Alex's moans and silent fighting for the air we both were able to catch in the middle of our lips breaking and connecting. She tasted sweet, like caramel as my tongue brushed against her not giving us a chance to break as my hand never left her neck making sure we stayed close.Yet it didn't seem enough to me, I wanted more... I needed more. So I tried to scoop her up by the thighs, wanting to feel her wrapped around me but Alex caught my arms and pushed me back. She searched my eye as
"I dont believe you. The Alex I know would never kick me out of her life like that." Nor would I allow it to happen, I refuse to live a life where she isn't a part of it. Because there isn't life without her, ever my earliest memories of life are filled with her. Without it, I lose myself. "You obviesly aren't listening to me. I told you that Alex is no longer here. Even before you left for NY I decided to change, and it's not about you... it's about me. I want to go back to the place where my every decision didn't revolve around you, back before I got the stupid idea to fall in love with you. Back when I was happy, when I was free when I was able to have fun and not care about a man." Alex talks but she doesn't look at me anymore, she looks around the room as she taps on each of her small, delicate, pale fingers as she makes a point in her speech. It's almost as if she had this exact conversation beforehand in her head and she finally got the opportunity to let it all out."You can b
