[Nea's POV]
Waking up in Adam's arms is the most peaceful feeling for me lately. I don't know what is this feeling yet, but I know I'm happy even just by hearing his voice. I look at Adam's sleeping face and I smile softly.
This is the guy that said not to expect love from him on the day we got married. I don't know what happen but, somehow I feel that we're like any married couple, or not. I am happy with how we are now, but I can't stop expecting much more in this relationship. I know I shouldn't, but I can't stop my heart.
I recalled the things that Sara told me yesterday, about the girl that is crazy about Adam. I know girls nowadays can be extreme, but I truly hope this Sharr girl is not like how I think she is. I stare at Adam's face and I saw his freckles, his pointy nose, and his brown eyes.
Oh sh**! He's awake!
"Is there something on my face?"
I shake my head profusely unable to talk due to my rapid heartbeat. Adam chuckles and he leans in, his face is a few inches from mine. I can feel his hot breath on my cheek and I can't take it anymore, this crazy heart beating. I push him with all my might and Adam falls to the floor, "Ughh."
I quickly sit up on the bed and I see Adam's unconscious. "Oh my, Adam." I stand up and sit next to him on the floor, I check his breathing and shakes his body roughly, "Oh my god, what did I do?". I try to wake him up a few times, but he doesn't respond. I can feel my tears start pooling in my eyes.
I heard the boys talking outside, I quickly try to stand up to ask them for help. As I about to turn the doorknob, I was pulled back and I fall on top of Adam. He opens his eyes and smiles mischievously at me, "It's not good to push people away....baby."
I feel relief and my tears start to fall on Adam's face and slow sobs came out. He began to panic as he touches my face, "What's wrong? Oh no, don't cry." Adam hugs me tightly while stroking my hair, to calm me down. "I'm sorry if I scared you."
I calm down after about 10 minutes in Adam's hug and I look at his face. He looks at me guiltily, "Are you okay?".
I nod slowly, "I'm sorry for pushing you away."

Adam shakes his head, "It's okay, I understand."
What did you understand?
Adam smile, "Want to go on a date with me today?"
My eyes widen and I gasp, "A date?"
"Yeah, we've never been on a date before, so will you be my date today Nea?" Adam says as he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear.
I nod excitedly as I smile widely, "I will!". Adam laugh and I can feel my body shakes with him since I'm still on top of him.
"So can you get off of me now to get ready for it, or I might want to reconsider the date so we both might spend time in this room instead." Adam smile and I can see his eyes turn to mischief.
I quickly get up and on my feet as my face turns to blush because I know what he meant. Adam stands and he ruffles my messy hair before he goes out of the room.
Adam Nicholas Clark is such a tease!
-----
I decided to wear a cream-colored wool long sleeve with blue-black jeans and a green colored coat. I tie my hair up so that it won't be messy and I put on a bit of makeup, a lip balm and face powder. I left a few of my clothes in Adam's closet so that it will be easier whenever I want to a sleepover. Adam's already ready as he's making breakfast for me in the kitchen.
I sit on the kitchen stool as I lean on the kitchen island. Adam passes me a toast and a cup of tea and I mouthed 'thank you'.
"Where are you two going?" Noah asks as he struts in the kitchen.
"A date," Adam answers casually.
"Wow, I'm so jealous. I should go wake Will up for a date." Noah walks back to his room.
"With whom?" Adam asks back.
"With me!" Noah yells and I laugh at Noah's antics.
Adam shakes his head and later on I heard Will yells, "Go get a life, Noah! Don't disturb me!"
"Done? Let's head out now." Adam takes my hand in his and we both get out of the apartment.
-----
We decided to go for a walk around Boston's Public Garden after a few brainstorming sessions. I once googled about it and there's positive feedback that said it's great to have a walk there in winter. So here we are in Boston's Public Garden, hand in hand.
After about an hour walking around, we decided to sit on a bench nearby for a rest. While sitting and enjoying the white scenery I got an idea on how we can get to know each other more.

"Let's play 20 questions!" I say excitedly as I pat Adam slowly on the shoulder.
"Suddenly?" He looks amused by me.
"Don't want? Okay." I pouted as I turn away but he's quick to turn me back again to him.
"I'm joking baby. Sure, let's do it." Adam flicks my nose playfully and I grin at him.
Adam constantly called me 'baby' this week, although it's cringe-worthy, deep down, it's causing a butterfly effect on me.
"I'm first!" I said while shooting my hands up like a kid and Adam smile knowingly.
"Okay, so what is your favorite sport?"
"It's hard because I like most of it, then I have to say Ice hockey."
"You play ice hockey? I didn't know that."
"Used to, in school. Your turn. What is your favorite flower?"
"Flower? I've never got one, but I do like them and the most eye-catching is a white rose! I love it!"
"Of course, white is your favorite." Adam chuckles as he pinches my cheek.
"Second question. What do you do in your free time?"
"Well, when I was single... I used to chill with my friend and have a music session with them. Now all I do is spending my free time with you, wifey." Adam wink at me and I can really feel my face getting red. I punch his shoulder playfully, "Don't tease me." He laughs loudly.
I can literally look at his smile all day long.
"How about we continue this 20 question session till next time and go have lunch?" Adam suggests, but I still want to do it, I feel like I still have a lot of things to know about him.
Adam ruffles my hair, "We will continue this later, I promise. Besides, we have a lifetime for this remember? And I can't let my wifey go hungry since we're going to ice skating after that."
Lifetime. My heart is going to burst because of him one fine day.
I snapped to reality, "Wait! Did you say Ice skating?"
Adam laughs, "Yes, at Frog Pond on Boston Common. Didn't you hear me before?"
My eyes widen excitedly, "Yes! Let's go have lunch." I tug his arms excitedly making him stand up as we walk to get lunch.
-----
Upon arriving at Frog Pond, I am literally squealing in excitement. Adam shakes his head as he tugs me to follow him. We went to rent skates shoes and Adam helps me put it on.
I forgot when did I last skates.
I blink a lot and my eyes wander around when I'm thinking. This is my habit since I was born and Adam already knows this when he saw my face, "What are you thinking?"
"When did I last skate... I forgot, maybe three or two years ago." I say hesitantly.
"Is it a nice memory? The last time you skate?" Adam asks as he buckles my skate shoes tightly.
No, it's not. It's one of the memory I didn't want to uncover.
Adam sense my silence as he looks in my eyes tries to understand, but I avoid his eyes quickly and I know he got his answer that I don't want to talk about it, not now.
"Let's make a new memory, a happy one, with me," Adam said when he stands in front of me with his hand waiting for in mid-air, for mine. I hesitantly reach his hand, but he's quick to grasp my hand in his, firmly. "Come on."
Adam smiles as we skate in the rink and I also smile a lot, thanks to him. I fall a lot since my feet forgot how to skate on ice, it takes time for me to get a grasp on it again. Adam and I laugh a lot and we play with each other like a child. He didn't leave me at all, he kept his promise to stay by my side and make a happy memory. There's a lot of people here at Frog Pond but I feel as if we're the only on here.
I wait for Adam on a bench at a side where there's not a lot of people while Adam goes to buy hot chocolate for both of us who are freezing since we've been skating for a long time already. My eyes follow Adam's figure from the moment he walks away, to him buying the drinks until he walks back towards me with his million-dollar smile and his eyes twinkles. My heart is beating fast by now and I know why already as I sigh.
I don't want to admit it, but I really meant it when I said I can't afford to lose him last night. I think I know what is this feeling, I just don't want to say it because I know he can't reciprocate it. I still remember his words on the day we got married and I don't want my heart to break again but I know It's too late now. I already am falling in love with Adam.
