Like Perfection || Adrian Kempe

Ch. 24

Sophia's POV- April 2016

"You're done for the night" I told Adrian as he steadied himself.

He looked at me and I laughed as a goofy smile appeared on his face. It was very obvious that Adrian was drunk.

"Ready to head out?" I asked.

He nodded slowly and sat down. 

"I can't drive though"

I smiled as he enunciated every syllable in the words he said.

"You gave me your keys" I said.

"Where's Mario?"

He slowly looked around for his older brother.

"He went back about an hour ago" I reminded him.

He frowned.

"With someone?"

I shook my head, Mario had a girlfriend back in Sweden who he very much adored.

"Good, I was going to kick his ass"

I laughed and took the time to kiss his cheek.

"Come on, let's get you home" I said.

"You can spend the night, right?"

I nodded as I helped him up. Once he was up, I grabbed his tie that was on the table and waved at his teammates. We made our way out of the bar where the team was currently celebrating and I helped Adrian into his car. I closed the door and walked around to get into the driver's seat.

"You know you got to put on your seatbelt" I informed him.

He blinked slowly and scrunched up his nose.

"I'm too tired"

"I bet you are, there's some takeout in the fridge though so you can eat that when we get to your apartment" I said.

"You're the best"

I smiled and put his seatbelt on.

"Kiss?"

I looked at him.

"I thought you were tired" I stated.

He smiled and I shook my head at him.

"No funny business" I told him.

"I make no promises"

I gave him a kiss and laughed as he tried to stick his tongue in my mouth.

"Let's get you home" I said.

He hiccuped and smiled.

"Thanks for being here tonight. It means a lot especially since you're really busy"

"I always have time for you" I admitted.

I gently tapped his nose and reached for my seatbelt.

"I love you"

"I love you too" I replied back.

I put on my seatbelt and looked at him once his car was on.

"Remind me again, who gave you alcohol?" I asked.

The corners of his mouth tipped up as he smiled.

"Not Byz"

I shook my head as I laughed.

"Oh no, of course not" I said.

The drive to Rancho was quick, partially because there was no traffic. I parked Adrian's car and shut it off before turning to him.

"Are you asleep?" I asked.

He opened his eyes and shook his head.

"No, but I am hungry"

I smiled and got out of the car. 

"You know you're real handsy when you're drunk" I informed him as he hugged me and nuzzled his nose against my forehead.

"Does it bother you?"

"Not really" I admitted.

I laughed as he hugged me tighter and put a bit of his weight on me.

"You're like a bear" I said.

"I'm your bear"

"I think I just found your pet name" I told him.

He hummed.

"Bear?"

I nodded.

"I'll take it, only I can call you my Belle"

I rolled my eyes at the nickname. Adrian had found out my middle name, and I figured it would become a pet name since he had been referring to me as Belle now.
