Episode 31

“Must you always be so rude?” I glare at Adam once we leave the diner.
“No, I just choose to be.” He snaps back.
After the lady left, I pleaded with Adam to be nice and that there was simply nothing to be jealous about. He complied, but he still gave a little attitude while ordering our food. It didn’t help that the waitress left her number discreetly under my water glass while shooting me a wink.
This didn’t go unseen by Adam and he quickly paid to the bill and left, leaving her digits on the table untouched.

“You’re so unmannerly.” I mumble while I dig into my purse for a pack of biscuits that I remembered putting in there. I didn’t even get to eat properly since Adam practically yanked me out of the establishment.
Once I’ve found it, I open it, taking out a cracker and taking a bite of it, in the process.
I seriously can’t remember Adam parking his car this far.

“I don’t know what you expect me to do, Ariel. It’s bad enough that you attract so much boys, and now you attract girls too.” He mumbles with a frown on his face.
Before I can even get a chance to reply, we hear a small bark behind us and we both snap our heads behind us to see where it came from. There, is a cute little puppy with a collar around its neck. It spots me and it runs up behind me and sits on its hind legs.
“Aww.” I coo at it. I take out one of my biscuits and feed it to her and she takes it and runs away, wagging her little tail.
“Great. Now you attract dogs.” Adam murmurs sarcastically and I can’t help but smile.

“You’re so miserable.” I nudge him playfully before he opens the car door for me. I see him trying to fight a smile back as he rounds the car and enters.

He makes himself comfortable and then we take off without another word.
——————

After Adam and I came back and finished cleaning up the mess that Adam made in the kitchen, we decided to chill since I fell asleep earlier before we could.
Knock Knock
We both stare at the front door, wondering who could be here this late. “Did you invite anyone?” I ask him once I’ve removed my feet from his lap. “Nah. I doubt Libby would since she’s dead asleep.” He replies.
I shrug my shoulders and make my way to the door. “Who is it?” I shout once I’ve neared the door.

That oddly familiar voice rings through the door and my curiosity gets the best of me. I open the door and send a confused look at the boy on the other side.
“Landon? What are you doing here?” I ask him and I can feel my eyebrows furrow.
Not even a second later, I feel a presence behind me and I look up to see Adam there, standing tall. His arm snakes around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

I see Landon roll his eyes at the gesture. “Sorry for coming here so late. I went by your house and your parents said that you were here.” He explains while sending me a smile and also unfazed my Adam’s burning gaze, looking through his soul.

Although Landon’s quite tall, well to me. Everyone’s quite tall to me now to think of it, even Libby. Anyways, although he’s quite tall, Adam still has about 3 inches on him, along with a more muscular built.
I still look at him confusedly, wondering why he was looking for me in the first place. “Oh!” He says understanding my questioning gaze. “The book, I always forget to give it back to you, or I just couldn’t find you.” He explains once again.
Realization must be clear on my face as I accept the book. I still wonder why he couldn’t give it but tomorrow though, although I didn’t even miss it.

“I could’ve given it back tomorrow but I didn’t want to forget again. Decided that I would give it back while it’s fresh in my memory.” He says, answering my thoughts.
“Oh well, thanks, Landon. That was very nice of you.” I smile at him.
“Yes, it was.” That deep voice from beside me speaks. “Not you can be on your way.” Adam interjects rudely. I poke him in his side with my elbow, hoping he gets the memo to be nicer.
“Look, you got a problem with me, man?” Landon boldly speaks up, his voice rising slightly.
“I do in fact.” Adam’s says as his hand unravels from around me, his voice dripping with venom as he takes an intimidating step towards Landon.

“Well I’m right here, do something about it, you p—k.” Landon seethes and not even a second later, Adam is already on the verge of jumping on him when I stand in front of him just in time.
“Hey, hey!” I shout at him with my hand on his chest. “Calm. Down.” I say looking up at him while he keeps his eyes menacingly trained on his opponent, Landon.

Smoke is fuming from his nose as he takes heavy breaths, not backing down. I don’t really pay Landon much attention, knowing that Adam is the one on the edge.
I turn to face Landon once Adam have calmed down a bit, while making sure that my back is pressed firmly against his front, just in case he gets any ideas.
“This is what’s gonna happen.” I speak. “We’re all gonna go inside and sort this s–t out.” I look at both of them.
“He is not stepping foot inside this f—–g house.” Adam tells me matter of factly.
I turn my head to glare at Adam, then afterwards turning my whole body. I look up at him with squinted eyes, daring him to test me.
He looks back down at me, clenching his jaw tightly and gritting his teeth. “I think that you mistook my statement for a question.” I walk even closer to him so that my front is now directly upon his.
“We all are gonna go inside. Isn’t that right, Adam? ” I say, looking him directly in his eyes.
His hands ball in fist at his side, his knuckles digging in his palm as he towers over me.
“Yes.” He grits out through his teeth.
“Good.” I say as a small smirk makes its way on my face. I then walk inside, gesturing for them to follow me…
