Amelia's outfit above.

Longest chapter of all time. 5500+ words is a lot.

"I'm like so excited. I feel like we haven't hung out in a while." Nicole says as she goes through the clothing rack.

We're in New York City for the Met Gala. Adam and I flew in together on our jet. We're going with Louis Vuitton, Emily and Colton are going with Bottega Veneta and Nicole is going with Michelle Taylor (Her mum).

This is my second Met. It's Adam's fifth I think, Nicole's third and Emily's first.

We're all very excited. Camilla is also going to be attending with Off-White but she's flying in on a different day. Adam has a few things to do here so we flew in early and Nicole's mum is a designer so they obviously have to come early to get things ready.

"Yeah, me too." I agree.

It's been a long time since we hung out just three of us because we all have things going. Nicole is graduating from Hardwood this year, I've been modeling and Emily has also been doing some endorsements deals and focusing on her relationships with Colton.

Emily comes out of the changing room and gives us a spin. "What do you guys think?"

"Woah!" Nicole smiles.

"You look amazing, Em." I tell her excitingly.

We're in a Dior store shopping for some outfits. I love New York and I love shopping here.

"Alright, then. I'm gonna get it." She says then adds, "Do you guys wanna come with me to shop for furniture?"

"Furniture for what?"

"I kind of told Colton that I would move in with him."

My eyes widen and I breath, "Really?"

"Yeah." She nods.

"Oh my God! That's awesome, Emily! I'm so happy for you." I hug her.

"Yes." Nicole joins the hug. "He loves you, Emily. I think it's going to be great for you guys." She says.

We pull away and I look at Nicole. "And how about you? Any secret hookups with Julian?"

I tease.

Her face drops and she shakes her head. "He has lost every bit of respect for me since my marriage stunt. I've been thinking that maybe it's time to let go."

"But since Julian, you've been with so many guys. I know they were some bad ones but there were a lot of great ones too but you couldn't love any of them because Julian is in your heart. I've seen you with all those guys and I've seen you with Julian. No one makes you happy like he does and I guess that's all that matters in the end." Emily says.

"Yeah and you know, I never understood your relationship with Julian because he and I never got a long and I never liked him but I believe what really matters in any relationship or finding the right person is happiness and someone that you can be yourself with." I add.

And looking back, I know that when Nicole was with Julian, she was more herself than ever. They had fun together and she never laughed as much as she did when she was with him.

"But we're still young, guys. I'm twenty one and you're both twenty two. We have time to kiss many frogs, make mistakes and do a whole lot of things before we find our princes." She says.

"I'm pretty sure I've found my prince." Emily chuckles at her.

"You'll never know, Em. Maybe there's someone out there for you that's a hundred times better than Colton."

"Colton is the one, trust me. We just understand each other in a way that no one ever will. He just completes me."

"Yeah, alright then. Amelia, what do you think?" She hugs my arm.

"About?"

"That our Mr. Rights are probably out there and we're yet to know them. We're going to find them when the right time comes."

I clear my throat. "I mean..."

"What?"

"Um, I'm sorry Nicole but I think I've found mine." I give her a sheepish smile.

Omg! Just thinking about him makes my heart flutter.

"What?" Her eyes widen in horror.

Emily starts laughing then hugs her by the side. "Sorry, Nicky."

I chuckle and fix my ponytail.

Nicole pushes Emily off her. "Amelia, hold on. Are you talking about Adam?!"

I give her a serious nod.

"You really think that he's the one?"

"Absolutely." I reply confidently.

She looks at me in shock then shakes her head. "Well, yeah when you're with a person at that time you obviously think that he's the one but that doesn't necessarily means that he is. You know, just like Liam. You thought he was the one. I mean, you said yes to his proposal!"

"Yeah but I feel like everything that happened with Liam was supposed to lead me to Adam. Everything is different with him." I tell her.

"Really?" Emily asks me.

"Yes. With Adam everything is much more intense and serious. You guys know me, when have I ever fallen for a guy without him coming to me first? But Adam is different. I trust him and I care about him so much. He brings out the best in me and I can see a future with him. I can see him being the father of my kids and the person I have my forever with so when I compare, I feel like Liam and I were just two people playing around because look, Adam doesn't even like me back but he makes me feel things I have never felt before." I explain.

"And what are those things?"

"He makes me feel alive, Nicole. Everything in my life started making sense after I met him. Like if this isn't it, I'm probably not going to fall in love ever again. He's everything to me."

"Wow, you like him more than you liked Liam, don't you?" Emily says in shock.

I grin widely. "A billion times more. Liam and I were good and I enjoyed every moment he and I spent together but honestly, I think our relationship was more of a friendship. Yes, I was attracted to him and I loved him but he never made me feel the things that I feel with Adam."

"I really don't understand these things that you keep talking about but okay." Nicole says with a shrug.

I sigh then lean forward and whisper something in her ear.

Her eyes and jaw go wide at the same time. "Alright, alright." She catches her breath. "If you really would do that then yup, I believe you. He is definitely the one."

We walk to the cafe where we're supposed to meet the guys and and I instantly spot Adam, Colton, Chase and an unfamiliar guy,

"Adam!" I exclaim excitingly then run towards him. I wrap my arms around him tight and snuggle into him.

He hugs me back and kisses on the forehead.

"I missed you." I tell him.

"I missed you too." He replies with a weird expression.

"You look so hot." I smile, taking him and he's outfit all in.

"Thanks." He chuckles and squeezes me a little.

"I was going to jump on you but then I remembered I'm wearing a skirt." I tell him and he smiles. "Yeah, it's cute." He says.

I look over and see Emily and Colton kissing. I wish I could have that with him.

"Amelia, this is my friend, Gregg. He's works in our New York office." Adam introduces.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." I smile.

"You too." He says in a standoffish tone.

I frown lightly.

"Let's go inside." Nicole says.

I shrug then wrap my hands around Adam's arm. He looks down at me with a smile then we walk inside. He's in a good mood today.

Adam and I sit next to each other. Nicole sits by my right while Emily, Chase, Gregg and Colton are sitting at the opposite.

I let out a short giggle. I don't know why. I'm extra happy today.

Adam looks at me in confusion. "What's funny?"

"Nothing." I say then lean closer to him. "Can I tell you something?"

"Sure."

I take my lips to his ear. "I like you so much."

He leans back and looks at my face with a worrying look and I laugh softly.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

The waitress comes and starts taking everyone's orders.

"I'm going to have a glass of water please." I tell her.

"No, you're not." Adam glares at me.

I cross my arms over my chest. "Why?"

"You refused to eat dinner last night and you missed breakfast this morning." He says then grabs the menu and drops then tells the waitress to bring me a sandwich.

"Noo!" I object.

"You're going to eat, Amelia." He orders.

"Fine, whatever." I agree.

"Amelia, you're one of those girls that starve themselves?" Chase asks.

"No, I just don't like to eat when I'm not hungry." I tell him.

"Oh, I forgot to congratulate you, Colton. Em said that she's finally moving in." Nicole says.

"Yeah, we're so excited." He wraps her arms around her, pulling her close and kisses her on the cheek.

"Awww, you guys are so cute." I comment.

"What area are you guys going to live?" Adam asks.

"I wanted her to move in to my new house but she made me buy a new house in Lake street because my old house is far from Hardwood." Colton answers.

"Lake street, really? Black Industries is doing some property development there." Chase says.

"Yeah, we've seen the signs. It's like ten minutes for our place." Emily tells him.

"Dude, the other day someone told me that they saw your car at AM and I was like no way!" Gregg suddenly says to Adam.

"That's was not me." Adam frowns.

"They saw the plates, man."

"When was this?" I ask Gregg as I look up from my phone.

"Last week, why?"

"If it was his Audi then that was me."

AM is a nightclub back in Bluefall and last week, me, Tyler and some friends went there.

"You let her drive your cars?" Both Gregg and Chase ask in disbelief.

"Yes." I reply.

"The most precious thing to Adam Black is his cars. Literally no one is allowed to touch them." Gregg says.

"Well, Amelia is not just anyone. She's his wife." Nicole points out.

"I know but I'm just really surprised." Chase says giving Adam a look.

I look at Adam who's just eating his chocolate cake and slip my hand through his other hand. "I'm special." I smirk.

So today is the day of the Met. My glam team have done their magic and I look like a princess. My outfit is a fitted navy blue sheer dress. It is detailed with some blue crystals and it's absolutely gorgeous. The sleeves are short and a little bit off-shouldered.

Nicholas was here earlier and we paired the look with navy gloves and a diamond necklace from Tiffany and Co. He's an amazing and very talented designer. He wanted to give me an Audrey Hepburn kinda vibe because the look has a vintage feel to it but he said the look is a reflection of who I am.

It is "classy, elegant, expensive and absolutely beautiful". His words not mine. He said everyone that sees me would know that I come from style, class and money.

It really took a lot of time to create because the design was inspired by wedding ring which has a huge blue diamond on.

To be honest, besides my wedding day, I don't think I have ever felt more beautiful in my life. Everything about this looks makes sense to me. It speaks to me and I feel gorgeous in it. My makeup is stunning and modern and my hair is in a nice updo with some strands falling at the front.

I decide to go and check Adam to see if he's ready. We're staying at The Mark hotel. I think it's the most expensive hotel to stay at in New York. Adam knows how to spend his money.

I go to his room and the door open. I can't believe he's still not dressed. He's back is facing me and it looks likes he's buttoning his shirt.

"Hey."

He turns around and as he looks at me, his whole body freezes. Like, I'm not even kidding.

"I.." He starts but closes his mouth and continues staring.

He is usually good at hiding his emotions and reactions to things but he's obviously not doing that right now.

He is speechless. I made him speechless.

"Wow." He finally breathes. "I, you.... wow."

I chuckle at him. "How come you're not ready yet?"

He clears his throat. "I thought you were going to take more time."

"Oh okay. I'm done now. Can we take some photos before we leave?"

"Uh, um yeah. Sure."

Wow! I have never seen him this nervous or flustered. It's cute.

"Okay."

"Amelia, you look um....you look amazing. I, I am speechless right now." He says.

"Thank you."

"You're beautiful." He says staring into my eyes and the way he says it like there's a meaning behind it.

I blush and look down because I'm happy he thinks so.

"Can you come here?"

I walk closer to him and he continues to look at me. "Woah." He whispers as he holds me then twirls me a little. "Wow!" He exclaims.

"Stop!" I laugh. "You're making me feel weird."

"I have never seen this much beauty. I can't believe you're married to me. Are you for real?" He smiles teasingly and I smile back. "Adam."

He chuckles then kisses my nose. "You look gorgeous. I'm so dazzled."

"Thank you."

"But the dress is see through though." He frowns slightly.

I roll my eyes. "Don't even start. You think everything is see through."

"Everyone is going to be looking at you tonight. They're all going to see." He says looking down at my body.

I pout and glare at him.

He pulls me in his arms. "Alright, alright. I'm sorry. You look too perfect for me to even complain." He grins.

This is crazy. I can't believe he's giving me so much compliments but I kind of don't blame him. I look spectacular and I'm proud to say that.

****

It's over.

The Met Gala was amazing. I really enjoyed it and I saw my plenty of my favorite celebrities.

Most of my model friends were also there so I'm really happy that I got to see them.

Adam also saw some of his friends and business associates but he was a little distant throughout the day.

I have taken off my outfit and my makeup so I decided to go to his room to check on him. He was really quiet throughout the car ride back to the hotel. I don't know if something is bothering him or he's sleeping but I'm just kind of bored.

I see him on the bed wearing sweatpants and a black shirt. He's on the phone so I just join him and snuggle by his side. He looks at me then puts his arms around me.

I nuzzle into his neck. He smells so good and sexy. I raise my head a little higher and kiss him there.

I kiss him again and then I feel his hand curl up around my neck, pulling me away to look at him.

"Stop." He says darkly, his voice so husky and sexy.

I pout my lips at him. "But I'm bored."

His lips curve lightly and he starts stroking my hair. I close my eyes leaning into his touch. It feels so good. His touch, any kind affects me in a way that no other man has.

He must have sense something because his hands instantly stop.

"Anderson, I will call you in a minute." He hangs up then looks at me. "Go to your room."

"What?"

"Now." He says sternly.

"But I'm bored, Adam."

"Go watch a movie or something. You're distracting me."

I give him a wide smile then crawl onto his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"What are you doing?" He sighs trying to get me off him but I cling on to him with my arms and my legs around his waist.

"I don't want to go to my room." I whine.

"I need to make some calls, baby. I will come and get you when I'm done." He says softly in my ear, his hands stroking my bare waist.

Baby. He hasn't called me that in weeks and God knows how much I love it when he calls me that. He says it in such a sexy way that makes me melt for him.

I groan and before I could do anything else Adam yanks me off him and throws me on the bed. "Ah!" I squeal and start giggling. He is very strong.

He makes a move to get off the bed but I quickly catch him. Wrapping my arms around him from behind, laughing. "Where are you going?"

"Oh my God!" He groans. He turns to look at me, smiling. "What's up with you?"

"I want you to give your attention to me."

He sighs then moves back on the bed and pulls me to his lap again. "Fine, I'm all yours." He says, leaning his head against the bed frame.

"Really?"

"Mmhmm." He nods looking at me.

"Oh." Now that I've got him, it's clear to me that I was only having fun distracting him so I start giggling.

"What?" He chuckles.

"Nothing." I smile.

He puts his hands on my waist. One thing I've noticed about Adam is that he's very touchy. He likes holding me close and I love it.

"You still have glitter all over your face." He says.

"Yeah, JJ went a little crazy with the makeup."

"I liked it though. You almost killed me with your looks today." He teases.

"Stop." I laugh.

He lightly strokes my cheek.

"Are you brushing away the glitter?"

"Yeah." He grins then continues softly.

I lean in closer enjoying his touch. His fingers tuck a strand of hair behind my back. His face turns more serious as his fingers trail down to my neck.

I breathe out softly, kind of like a moan. Why does his touch feels so good?

I raise my eyes to meet his gorgeous brown ones. I'm falling for this guy. He's beautiful in every way possible. I could stare at him for hours.

He stares back at me then looks down at my lips.

"Is there glitter on my lips?"

His jaw clenches. "No, it's just.."

"What?"

His fingers brush my cheeks softly. "You're gorgeous." He says in a husky voice.

My heart drops.

"So are you." I tell him, touching the ends of his hair. I inch forward in his lap and starts rubbing his scalp softly. I know he likes that.

His eyes stare back into mine. Everything pauses as we both stare at each other.

Looking into his eyes, there's so many emotions and he is so beautiful. I move my face closer to his, my heart pounding like crazy.

I'm so scared and nervous.

"Amelia..." He warns softly, his Adam's apple bulging but he doesn't move back so I ignore him.

I then look into his eyes one more time and place my lips on his.

He kisses me back immediately and deepens the kiss. I close my eyes and moan through the back of my throat. His lips are so soft. He pulls me closer to him and starts dominating the kiss. I can't believe this is happening.

I've never been kissed like this. It's so good. So fucking good. My heart is pounding. There is so much emotion. Maybe I've fallen in love.

He flips us over and my back falls on the bed.

We pull away to look in each other eyes. I'm in shock, speechless. I really can't believe it!

He looks at me in a way he never has before. "You're so fucking beautiful." He breaths and claims my mouth again.

My hands tighten around his neck as our tongues stroke each other. I lightly suck on his and he groans. We keep on kissing and then he pulls away and starts kissing my neck. I put my fingers in his hair and moan out loud.

Everything feels so good, so right.

"Adam." I moan.

He comes back to my lips. God! I love the way he kisses me. Like I'm his. I want to more than kiss him. I want to give everything to me.

He tastes amazing. I love his lips and his tongue. He pulls away and our eyes meet again.

This is where I'm meant to be. With him.

I've never felt this way before. He buries his face in my neck and sighs, "Fuck."

My heart is busting with joy. I'm so happy. What does this mean?

I don't care! I'm going to enjoy this moment for now.

He pulls me to him and hugs me close. "Are you okay?" He asks in a sexy voice.

"I'm a little cold." I whisper into his chest.
