Dirty Little Secret

Chapter Fifteen: So Close

I lay back on my bed. I hadn't spoken to Adam since I walked away from him in the hot tub. The ride home was awkward and as soon as I got in I went straight up to my room. I've been hiding in here for like, two hours now. 

I sighed and got up. I walked over to my desk and to my phone. I had four messages. One was from Adrien.

Missing you already beautiful :-) xxxx 

I smiled. I'll reply once I read the other three, they were from Grace.

Hey you! We're missing you girl. Can we come over?:D xoxoxoxoxoxo <3 

No reply for an hour and a half!:O This is bad... Are you okay?<3<3<3<3<3<3

Screw this,we're on our way over. DON'T GET MAD. It's cause we love you :D Carla, Ab, Adrien and I have just left <3 <3 xoxoxoxoxoxoxox 

The last message was sent ten minutes ago. I wanted their company. Adam practically dragged me out earlier.

I sent a reply to Grace.

I'm not mad! I was just deep in thought and left my phone on silent :P See you guys in a bit, love you too :P Look forward to seeing you :D xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo <3 

I had been deep in thought. About Adam. Which sucks. He just is so gorgeous and takes over my mind. What a poo he is. I try to shut him out but his eyes and abs keep popping back in my brain! It's so frustrating. It wasn't just his appearance that were playing in my mind.

The thought of him with other girls. Made me kind of angry and I'm really scared I know why. I have this horrid feeling my crush on him is reappearing. This is bad. Very bad. He's my step-brother! Though not blood related... And he's a total ass! Then he can be sweet sometimes... ERGH. Damn you Adam. I even have my sexy ass, polite, sweet french boyfriend. And you're still populating my thoughts. I hope this passes. Cause this is not good.

He feel the same way as me either. I'm not his type. Although the girls do say hes jealous of Adrien. And he does act strange... But is that jealousy? Part of me wants it to be...

OH MY GOD. I'M SO DUMB. I wish my dad or Isobel were here. They'd help me. Give me advice. I felt a stab in my chest and my vision began blurred. Here come the tears again...

"Amy?" A soft voice asked.

I looked up. Adam. Great, the last person I needed and the person half of me wanted. He walked closer and put my bowed head in his hands. He picked it up so I was level with him. My teary eyes met his icy blue ones. 

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I miss them."

He wrapped his strong arms around me and I buried my head in his chest. I cried and I didn't hold back. He's the first person to see me cry. He comforted me. Whispering soothing things in my ears, rubbing circles on my back, stroking my hair. 

Once I was done I sat up and sniffed. He reached over and pushed a bit of my hair from my face. He was so close.

"I'm sorry."

"Why?" He asked as confusion passed over his gorgeous face.

"For crying on you. You're the first person I've ever done that to..." I looked down.

"Don't be. It's okay. Look at me Amy." 

I lifted my eyes up to meet his.

"I am the one who should be saying sorry. I was out of order today. I just... Don't like him."

"Why not?" I asked him. 

"I don't think he cares about you enough. Like the night you were drunk with Grace..."

What the hell is he on about?

"What? That night Adrien put a blanket over me and stayed holding me on the couch."

"No. That wasn't him."

"Then who was it?" I asked.

"Me." 

No way!

"Why?"

He shrugged. 

"Wanted to make sure you were okay and warm."

Is Grace right? Could he actually like me?

"Why would you care about me being warm?"

He moved his hand up and cupped my cheek.

"Because I care about you."

I swear my heart just stopped and my stomach is having a fit. Hearing him says that makes me so happy! It shouldn't. But it does. I bit my lip and looked down. I looked back up and met with his amazing blue eyes. He slowly moved forwards, closing the gap between us. I shut my eyes.

The door bell rang and our eyes flew open. I stood up and ran downstairs to the door. I opened it and smiled to see my bestfriends and boyfriend. I let them in.

What just happened upstairs? Adam and I nearly kissed. And I wanted to...
