ADELEWe arrived at home and it was getting dark outside already. Chris parked the car on one side and I got down from the car immediately, pulling my bag after me. I went inside the house and the sensitive lights in the sitting room immediately turned on. I turned back to check if Chris was coming and I watched him walk closer and closer. I decided to leave the front door open before walking slowly into the sitting room. God, I am so tired. All I did was sit down and chat with Chris's mother. I have no idea how I got so exhausted. The front door closed behind me and I turned around. Chris walked in and I forced a small smile at him. "You have no idea how much I have missed you," he said as he took large strides toward me, pulling his suit jacket off and I just giggled. Chris appeared in front of me within seconds and he dropped his jacket on the couch behind me carelessly. "I missed you too," I managed to voice out before his hands came to hold both of my cheeks. I had no time

ADELEI opened my eyes slowly and they landed on the white ceiling above. I am sleeping on Chris's arm and I worry that it's going to hurt him so much. It's today. The day of the art exhibition. I brought my head up from Chris's arm before turning to look at him. He is still sleeping soundly with his regular breathing. I took my hand slowly to rest on his hair while my thumb ran over his eyebrow. I smiled when his eyes lash brushed against my hand before his eyes fluttered open. "Good morning," I greeted before giving him a peck on the lips and he smiled instantly. "Good morning," he answered before throwing his left hand around my waist. He pulled me down on him and I gave him a kiss before resting my whole weight on his upper body.I caressed the side of his bare chest with my hand as my eyes trailed toward the frame on the bedside table. That's right! Chris finally got it framed out and it looks so good. I like that he adores the drawing so well too. "You know, we should be

ADELE"Mateo has been insisting that I meet up with you ever since I called you on your birthday but I keep forgetting," Veronica explained with a chuckle and I smiled. "I forgot to call you back too," I told her before looking down at my lap. "I wanted to meet up with you actually but I just kept on forgetting since I arrived back," I added and Veronica's face went into one of confusion. "Arrived back? From where?" She questioned and my mouth went into a round shape in realization. She had no idea that Chris took me out to Maui for my birthday. "I will tell you about it later-," I started and the old Veronica I knew popped in instantly. "No! Tell me now." She whined and I shook my head. I took a glance at Chris and I knew I can not say it with him here. Veronica would always say what was on her mind and some really shy things happened on that trip that she might scream about. (I can feel my cheeks getting hot right now).So no, definitely not telling her right now. "Later, I

ADELEI told Veronica all about the trip to Maui. She teased me a few times when I told her what Chris and I did on that trip, and I almost regretted mentioning it. "We should go out, or the guys would start to worry," Veronica suggested and I nodded in support of her thought. "Especially Chris," she added and I turned to look at her instantly. She winked at me and I rolled my eyes at her. "And why does Mateo not get to be worried about you?" I asked with a raised brow and she giggled. "This is my house, remember?" She asked and I raised a brow at her, giving her the hint to continue. "I can't possibly get lost in my own house," she added and I sighed before rolling my eyes at her again. "Let us just go out to the sitting room, okay?" I asked with a sigh before getting up from the bed. "Ooh," she started and I turned to look at her again. "You can't possibly be missing him already, right?"What?! How? She suggested it in the first place. "Veronica," I warned through gritted te

ADELEIt's finally a day before the day of the competition and I am very excited about it. Chris is carrying the little baggage I packed into the car. The baggage contains the little necessities I might be needing during my stay there. He returned to the art room and I took my gaze off the covered artwork- that is standing against the wall- to him."I seriously can't peep at it?" Chris asked and I rejected the idea immediately. "No! It is going to be a big surprise," I replied with a tired sigh. "Help me get it out of the house?" I asked and he walked closer to where I stood. "Sure!" He replied before holding the artwork from his side. He tried lifting his side and he dropped it back down instantly. My eyes widened in fear when I heard that slight sound it made against the tiled floor. "Don't you dare hurt that thing, Chris, or I am going to get angry at you," I warned with a frown on my face as I pointed my index finger at Chris and he chuckled. "I seriously don't know why you
