The Hamptons were known for its exclusive luxury lifestyle but I mostly enjoyed the natural beauty, historical charm, and the fact it was so close to NY for whenever one needed an escape and wanted to get lost in the crowd. Here I was known as the princess of the Hamptons, more than money I stood behind generations of class and that is something that simply couldn't be bought. The privileges were big, for one I was never left standing in line or waiting for a table which is why I decided to stop by my favorite cafe for a coffee on the go. No one makes a salty caramel coffee better than "Sunny Suzans", despite the name, Suzan wasn't a hippy just a vegetarian. Also, Suzan wasn't real, it was a marketing strategy that only a few people knew about. The chain of cafes was led by one of the many branches our company held. Suzan was us. What I never expected was to walk in and see Adam. At first, a smile appeared on my face, a smile that vanished as I walked around the corner and saw him sit
I caught up to her just a few blocks down, my breath quickening in the cold air as I reached out for her arm. “Alex, wait—please.” She didn’t stop walking, didn’t even acknowledge me. Her pace quickened instead. "Alex," I called again, more firmly this time. Finally, she halted, though her back was to me. Her voice, when she spoke, was clipped and controlled. "You do not want to test me right now Adam. I need to breathe." I stepped closer, trying to close the distance she was putting between us, but I could hear the anger in her tone. "I didn’t want that to happen. You have to know that." My hands ran through my hair, frustration bubbling inside me. “I didn’t expect her to... do that. I was couth off gourd..." "Stop," she cut me off sharply. "I dont care, if you want that fake booby Barbie to drag her fake claws all over you then be my guest." She wasn’t angry in the way I’d seen her get angry before. This wasn’t just irritation—it was rage. Real rage."I didn’t let it go on,"
Alex's POVAs I walked back to my car I realized I most likely overreacted. This was Adam, he wouldn't lie to me. And what I saw was that that woman was all over him not the other way around, the more I thought about it the more I wanted to turn around and go back to him.One thing I learned about myself was that jealousy wasn't a good look on me, it made my blood boil like never before. This wasn't like the time when I thought Autumn and Adam could have something, perhaps because I liked her or the fact that up until that point, Adam and I were just friends.Now, things were different. I met what it meant to be loved by him and that is something I wouldn't bear to lose. Especially not by some bimbo like the one from the cafe. I was so close to dumping my coffee all over her head. She called him Addy. Uhh, I had to fight the urge not to vomit.He was Adam, my Adam. My love."Alex." I hear a familiar voice calling out for me just before I reach my car."Derek, hey," I say as I stop and
"What's up with you two?" Adam asks again as he walks further into the room."Ohh nothing, my baby sister just received this wonderful bucket of flowers, and I'm about to figure out from who," Sasha remarks as he tries to open up the small envelope when I try to snatch it again."First, I'm not your baby sister. I'm two minutes younger..." It seems I'll never be able to live past that. "And second, what you are doing is called an invasion of privacy," I say but to no use so I turn to Adam, my face in panic should tell him to do something about it."Adam. Tell him to give it back." Or so I thought."He is your older brother, there for an authority. You should really respect your elders." What the actual fuck? Why would Adam want Sasha to see the note? I know what kind of notes he leaves, that is not something I want my brother to read."On that note..." Sasha says, no pun intended... as he goes to read it before I actually have to jump at him to get it back."Adam, catch," Sasha yells a
Adam's POVEight p.m.One might say I already made myself at home at Alex's apartment, but Alex herself felt like home. This was just a place. I sat on her couch in silence just waiting to hear the door open and her footsteps trail down the hall. I went to her house after I couldn't bear the thought of how we last separated, it was eating at my soul. Yet not as much as the sight of those hideous flowers that were sitting on their living room table. Not as much as that note that sank it thets deep in my chest.I tried to hide to hide my discomfort... no that is not the right word for it.Hell, was more like it.Who did this man think he was?What gave him the right to send her flowers?How did he dare to ask her out?She was mine. Mine.Just thinking about it woke up the ugly side of me making me jump off the couch to shake it off when in my turn I met Alex's eyes. I must have gotten so lost in my thoughts I didn't hear her walk in."Hello to you too, I was starting to wonder how long y
Alex's POV I didn't know what I expected Adam's reaction to be, but the smile on his face was definitely a beautiful sight. "That's great news. You see, I told you not to worry about it." He says as he brushes the strands of hair from my face. "It's not a done deal, it just gives me a fighting chance in the future." I make sure to clarify before his hopes skyrocket through the roof. "Cupcake, dont even worry about that. Haven't I already made it perfectly clear? I will accept anything the future holds for me as long as you are in it." It's just that now I feel like I dont want it just for him. I want it for me. "But I would like to think there will be a little Adam running around in that future." "Well if you want it that bad, we can start right now," Adam says as he captures my lips, his hand quick under my body pulling me close. I melt into him, feeling the warmth of his body against mine. My mind races with thoughts of what this could mean, of the future we could build toget
"Derek. What are you doing here?" I ask as I get up and step away. "I wanted to see if you lost your phone, you're not returning any of my texts. And I was told you rejected my flowers. Sent them back." He says, his hand hidden in his pocket. "But what are you doing here?" I ask again. "Nothing, I was passing by and saw you through the window. I thought I would come in and say hey." I look over to the window. Yes, it was possible he saw me while passing by, after all these were display windows. "Any chance you free for that coffee now?" He asks. Perhaps this was a good chance to be very open with him and end this once and for all. "Derek, I feel like I need to be very honest with you right now so listen up. I'm not interested in you, or having coffee with you. Quite frankly you are starting to give me the creeps." I could of been a bit more gentle but I wanted to get the message across clear and quick. "How would you know if you dont try?" He asks as he steps forward and I step b
Scared?I wasn't scared.Freaked out, now that was more accurate.Derek's appearance yesterday struck a nerve within me so much so that I couldn't sleep. What worried me most was the fact he had Adam in his sight, he knew we were involved and I did not know what exactly he was capable of. I dont know Derek, his sudden obsession with me made no sense. Why go to all this trouble for someone he only saw three times in his life? He left me with many questions, luckily I knew someone who could hopefully answer a few."Hey!" I say as I wall in the cafe where Enzo and Julia are waiting for me. "I hope I didn't leave you waiting long, I had to wait for Miguel to return with Autumn so he would drive with me." They turn their heads towards the door where Miguel is standing."Since when do you go around with a bodyguard?" Enzo asks."Ever since Derek started following me around." Julia and Enzo exchange surprised looks before turning back towards me."The art guy, from the class?" Julia asks. "Y
