“I’ve come to two conclusion” He heard a voice speak beside his ear as he napped on the couch, someone straddling his lap as he opened his eyes and found Kris before him.
“Oh yeah…” Adam smiled sleepily, closing his eyes momentarily as slender fingers massaged their way through his hair.
“One…you are too smart for your own good”
“Mmmm….and your other conclusion?” Adam asked, opening his eyes as the fingers in his hair, rested on his neck.
“That no matter how long it’s been or what shit has come between us…” A hesitation as he gazed deeply into Adam’s eyes. “You and I belong together”
“I completely agree on both counts” Adam smiled as he reached forward and cupped Kris’s neck, urging him forward until their lips met. The first kiss was timid and chaste, but soon erupted into something so much more, something primal and needed as they devoured each others mouths with nothing but extreme passion. A short time later found them, naked, sweaty and unsure how they had managed to make it into the bedroom from the couch without killing themselves. “Are you ok?” He asked, his voice full of concern as Kris laid off to the side of the bed, eyes closed as he pulled in large ragged breaths of air. “Shit Kris…did I hurt you?”
“I’m ok…just sort of unprepared for that” He smiled up at Adam, shifting over until he was lying on his side before him. “It was amazing, really” He assured as he leaned forward and kissed him sweetly. “I always wondered what our first time would be like, or if we’d even have a first time”
“I gave up thinking about it a long time ago” The words pained Adam to say, but he knew he could be honest with Kris. “I accepted the fact that you didn’t want me in your life anymore and…” He couldn’t finish his words as his throat tightened and his eyes watered.
“We are here now and that is all that matters” An equaled tearful bed partner said, wiping an escaping tear from Adam’s cheek. “I love you Adam. I just love you so fucking much and nothing…NOTHING is going to get in the way of that ever again”
“I love you too” Adam choked out, crushing Kris to his chest, thanking a higher being for once again bringing Kris Allen back into his life.
“Thanks John, you have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that” Adam heard Kris speak into his cell phone later the next morning as he leaned against the doorframe of the bedroom as he watched Kris once again in the kitchen. “I’ll call you back when it happens. Okay…thanks”
Kris still hadn’t noticed Adam as he walked into the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast for the two of them. “Hey good morning” He smiled brightly as long arms and a bare chest wrapped around him from behind, crushing him in a bear hug. “I take it you slept well?” He smiled even wider as he turned within the embrace, putting his arms around Adam’s neck and giving him a proper good morning kiss.
“It was the best night of sleep I’ve had in years” Adam smiled in return, returning the kiss with vigor and meaning every word. “Who were you talking to?” He asked, giggling like a school girl when he reached over to pluck a piece of bacon from out of the pan, only to have his hand swatted away with one hand, while Kris patted his bottom out of the kitchen with the other. “Was it Liz by any chance?”
“No…John…my lawyer” He explained hesitantly as he placed a plate of bacon and eggs in front of Adam.
“Your lawyer? Is everything ok?” Adam asked, his brow knitted in confusion and concern.
“It will be…just don’t get mad a me ok” The shorter man rushed out, setting his own plate on the table before sitting down. “Did you know that your contract with your label ended over two years ago?” He asked when Adam didn’t say anything.
“I had no idea” Adam replied truthfully, his brow knitted together once again because he had no idea where Kris was going with his questions. “I just assumed that everything was ok since no one ever said anything to me”
“Don’t you have a lawyer?” Kris asked astonished when Adam shrugged his shoulders. “Jesus Adam, no wonder they’ve been working you to death and exploiting you every chance they got” He ground out, slamming his hand on the table in frustration. “Even I knew to get a lawyer the moment that my contract with idol expired”
“Well pin a rose on your nose” Adam snided, pushing himself away from the table, but still not getting up from his chair. “I had other things on my mind during that time and I could have cared less about anything else going on, even my career.
“Look…I’m sorry” Kris rushed over towards the other side of the table, straddling Adam’s hips before had a chance to escape. “It just makes me angry that they pretty much used you this entire time and look what its done to you and it kills me to know that a huge part of that is because of me. You have no idea how sorry I am for that” Tears glistened within his eyes as he leaned forward and pressed their foreheads together, his fingers running idly through Adam’s longer hair.
“It’s not your fault” He heard Adam mumble, their noses pressed together as they stared into each others eyes. “I could have stopped it, but I didn’t. The fact is that I didn’t care. I’ve been in the business a long time and I know how things work, but I just didn’t care. I was content to let them work me into the ground because it meant that I didn’t have to think about not having you in my life”
“I should have trusted in you. I should have listened to my heart” He said the same word he felt he had been repeating over and over again.
“It’s over and in the past now” Adam pulled him back just a bit in order to gaze into his eyes properly. “We both screwed up and now its time to remedy the situation. So what did you lawyer tell you?” He smiled, giggling once again when Kris threw his arms around his neck and kissed him hard, but with so much love that it took his breath away.
“Eat and then we can talk” He grinned, winded as he kissed Adam again before getting off of his lap and making his way over to his side of the table once again.
“So basically he said that your contract officially ended over two years ago, but since you never renegotiated it that it just continued as it was. I know I had to have him explain it to me too” Kris grinned, reaching out and running the tips of his fingers across the shell of Adam’s jaw as they laid in bed together after making love after breakfast. “In a nut shell it means that you can leave them anytime that you want and they can’t do anything about it or you can renegotiate your contract if you decide that you want to stay with them”
“I don’t know what I want to do Kris” Adam said, his mind and his heart in such confusion that he found himself taking a shuttering breath of fear. “I don’t even know if I can even go back to music right now and yet I know that I can’t live without it, but I know that things can’t go back to the way that they were before now. I’m just so fucking confused”
“You don’t have to answer me now, but you are going to have to come up with an answer sooner then later I’m afraid” He tried to sooth his lover, snuggling up against his lightly trembling body, kissing him gently in a show of support. “You know that whatever you decide I am here for you one hundred percent”
“I know” Adam replied softly, wrapping his arms around Kris’s slender body, just hanging on tight, thankful that he was back in his good graces, but still so conflicted that he had no idea what he was going to do. He hoped that the label and its minions wouldn’t find him any time soon, but he knew that they were freaking out and in full search mode trying to find their number one money maker of all time.
Two days later the dreaded wolves were on their doorstep as he and Kris finished up their nightly walk around the lake. “Adam…” He heard his agent call out to him, cold fear striking his chest as he looked behind her and found a slew of similar looking suited men staring him him. “Adam…it’s time to come back to California and get you career back on track. We’ve allowed this little romp of yours to go on long enough and now its time to leave”
“He’s not going anywhere” Kris belted out when Adam continued to stand beside him seemingly struck mute.
“You have no baring on Adam and his career Mr. Allen and if you don’t want my band of lawyer to get involved then I suggest you step back and let him go” The woman smarted off, unaffected by the look of shock on Adam’s face and the look of rage on Kris’s.
“I have complete and fucking total baring on Adam you fucking bitch” Kris raged, stomping forward, only to stop at the tugging upon his hand by Adam. “If you think that you are going to keep us apart this time then you better fucking think again” He raged on, looking to Adam for support and only getting fearful eyes staring back at him. “Trust me baby” He whispered with what he hoped was a comforting smile, that smile turning evil when he received a small nod in response. “Adam has already contacted my lawyer and it is only a matter of time before we expose you for the frauds that you really are”
“We don’t know what you are talking about” The woman sneered at Kris as the group of men behind her moved in closer. “Adam has a legal and binding contract with us and there is nothing that either one of you can do about it. Come on Adam, it’s time to go. You have another tour starting and we have lots to do before hand”
“If you think that you are taking him away from here and putting him on another tour then you are fucking crazier then you and your goons look” Kris challenged, squeezing Adam’s hand in assurance. “His contract ended over two years ago, so legally you have no rights or recourse over him. He owes you nothing. He could just step away from you right now and there isn’t a fucking thing that you can do about it” He grinned even more evilly, that grin disappearing at the all out shaking he felt coming from the man beside him. “Adam…” He spoke his name carefully, looking up at him to gauge his reaction to what was being said.
“How could you do that to me?” Adam questioned, his voice soft and shaky. “How could you keep him away from me when you knew how much he meant to me? We were only friends then and you still kept us away from each other…why?” He asked, his voice getting deeper and darker with each word spoken. “I trusted you with my entire life and you betrayed me”
Kris could hear the hurt and pain his Adam’s voice, but he kept quiet knowing that he had to speak up and take care of the situation himself. With another squeeze of his hand in support, he gritted his teeth behind his pursed lips and glared at the monsters standing mere yards away from them.
“Oh please Adam, you act as if and the label gave two shirts about you and this no talent has been” The woman, laughed in an mocking tone, shooting glaring looks at Kris just as equally as he was at her. “We knew where the real money was after the show ended and we did everything that we could necessary to ensure that you didn’t do anything stupid like falling in love with him because we knew that it wouldn’t take much for you to give it all up if he asked you. We did you a favor. I mean look at you now. You are the number one selling artist of all time and richer then I bet you ever dreamt you could be when you were singing on the idol stage and pining over him”
“His name is Kris and if you say one more fucking word about him in that tone you can best bet you are going to regret it” Adam warned, glancing over at Kris and winking quickly before turning his full attention to the task at hand. “You used me in order to line your pockets with my hard earned money and now it is time for you to pay me back”
“Like hell we will” She mock laughed. “Trust me Adam if you do not come with me willingly then these men behind me will make you life a living hell”
“Couldn’t be any worse then what I was dealing with before I found Kris again” Adam grinned evilly at them. “All I have to say is bring it on” He smiled even wider, letting go of Kris’s hand before wrapping his arm around his waist. “As Kris told you before I’ve already spoken to his lawyer and I know my rights. I could tell you to fuck off right now and you have no legal recourse. So fuck off” He laughed at the shocked looks on all of their faces, thanking his lucky stars that they seemed to be buying his act, because he truly had no idea what he was talking about having not spoken to Kris’s lawyer for real.
“Think about what you are saying” The woman changed tactics, sending the men away so it was just the three of them. “What will you do without this label to back you? You would lose it all and for what?” She regretted the words the moment that they left her lips.
“For Kris, because he is my everything” Adam replied without a forethought, leading Kris towards the house as they walked past the sputtering woman.
“Oh and you have two minutes to get off of my property before I call the authorities and have you arrested for trespassing” Kris shot out with his own smile once they had climbed onto the porch. “Are you ok?” He asked Adam under his breath as they watched his former manager storm off, jumping into the front seat of the car before it sped off.
“I have no idea” Adam replied quickly, pulled Kris into his arms in hopes of quieting the shaking that seemed to have inhabited his entire body. “What do I do now?” He asked, sitting down on the front step, tugging Kris down with him.
“First you are going to take a few deep breaths and calm yourself and then we are going to sit here and talk about all of our options. We have time Adam; we don’t have to make any decisions right at this very moment”
“I love you so much” Adam replied after taking more then a few deep breaths before turning to face him. “Promise me that no matter what happens that we will always be together. I mean even if I decide that I don’t ever want to do music again…just promise me that you won’t ever leave me because of it”
“Adam…you could sell fish on a street corner if you wanted and I still wouldn’t leave you” Kris proclaimed truthfully.
“What…” Adam laughed, feeling better about what had just happened now that he knew that Kris was always going to be in his life.
“I don’t know, I couldn’t think of anything poetic to say” He blushed, closing his eyes and holding on tight when he was crushed once again within Adam’s embrace. “All you have to know is that no matter what, I will always be at your side. I love you, nothing else matters”
It was all Adam needed to hear as he pulled back enough to see the truth in Kris’s eyes before stealing a kiss that mirrored the feelings and emotions those beautiful expressive eyes spoke. He wasn’t sure what is was going to do when it came to career, or even his life, but he knew that none of that mattered for the time being because the man that he loved was back in his life.
The End…for now.
I've already started working on the next part of the series where all answers will come to light. Thanks you all so much for the warm welcome and the kind feedback. Huggles...Stormy!!!
