Disclaimer: I do not own the boys or any other real life characters. This story is purely fictional and for entertainment purposes only.
Author’s Notes: This story was written for the Kradam Secret Valentine Exchange. It was for Amproof. I used the prompts: When Adam needs to excape, he goes to the last place anyone expects, Kris is a gardener (hobby or profession), meeting at a dog park, Adam really really loves Valentine’s Day, and blind date. I used all five in one form or another. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading. Feedback is always welcome. I had to break the story up into chapters to be able to post it.
Part 4
February 4th, 2012
“I want lots of colors and different types of plants.” Adam declared as he showed Kris the yard.
“Okay.” Kris replied as he made a note on his clipboard.
“I was thinking about having a fountain or maybe a pond. I want some trees too.” Adam told him excitedly.
“Sounds good.” Kris responded making more notes.
Adam continued to tell him about all the ideas he had. Kris smiled as he wrote everything down. He loved that Adam was so enthusiastic about it.
“Roses! I have to have roses!” Adam shouted as they walked back onto the patio.
Kris wrote it down with a giggle. Adam looked at him curiously.
“What’s so funny?” Adam asked.
“Nothing’s funny. I just love that you are so into this whole garden thing.” Kris answered with a smile at Adam. “It’s cute.”
Adam stared at Kris. He wasn’t sure how to respond to him. He couldn’t believe that he was flustered. It was usually the other way around. It made him like Kris even more.
“Are you ready for lunch?” Adam finally inquired after staring into Kris’ eyes for several minutes.
“I’m starving.” Kris stated.
As Adam and Kris at lunch on the patio, they talked about the garden some more. Adam was full of ideas. Kris was really inspired. He drew a few sketches of his ideas. Adam seemed to like them.
Part 5
February 5th, 2012
Kris and Adam talked on the phone for several hours. Kris told him about his family and growing up in Arkansas. He told Adam that he had moved to California after high school. He had known for a long time that he was gay. He’d had a few people bully him because of it. He had decided that living in L.A. would be better for him.
Adam told Kris about his childhood. He figured that Kris probably already knew some of the things he told him about. It was common knowledge from different interviews. He was glad that Kris never said he already knew that. Kris really seemed to be listening to him and engaged in their conversation.
After their phone call, Adam found himself unable to go to sleep. He was thinking about Kris. He hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him since meeting him at the greenhouse. He knew that he could fall in love with the man. He hoped that Kris was thinking of him too.
Part 6
February 6th, 2012
When they had talked the day before, Kris told Adam that he really wanted to see him again. Adam suggested meeting Kris at the greenhouse and having lunch together. Kris thought that was an excellent idea.
“I can’t believe you did all of this.” Adam spoke in astonishment as Kris led him into the garden behind the greenhouse.
Kris had convinced the owner to close the greenhouse for an hour for lunch. He had set up a picnic in the garden for him and Adam. They were the only two people around.
“Do you like it?” Kris inquired as he and Adam sat down on the blanket.
“It’s perfect. You know I should probably tell you that I am a hopeless romantic. I love this kind of stuff.” Adam told him as he accepted the bottle of water Kris handed him.
“That’s good to know. I should tell you that I love to do these kinds of things for the person that I’m with.” Kris responded with a sly smile.
As they ate lunch, Adam and Kris talked about their past relationships. They had both been hurt a few times. Adam was surprised about some of things that he was sharing with Kris. He was usually very private about certain aspects of his life. He didn’t want his personal business splashed all over the tabloids. However, he felt like he could really trust Kris.
When Adam left the greenhouse, he whistled the whole way to his car. He knew that he had it bad for Kris. He just hoped that Kris felt the same.
Part 7
February 7th, 2012
“That was hilarious.” Kris laughed as he and Adam stumbled out of the movie theater.
They were both laughing. They had their arms around one another. They had just seen Jim Carrey’s newest movie.
“It was good. I’m glad you picked it.” Adam replied as he stopped laughing.
“Well, next time you get to pick.” Kris told him.
Adam just smiled at him. He was glad to hear that there would be a next time. He thought that he might scare Kris off. He had been recognized a few times. He had to stop and sign autographs and take pictures. He wasn’t sure how Kris would handle it, but he had just stood to the side and smiled at Adam.
Part 8
February 8th, 2012
“Favorite color?” Kris inquired with a laugh.
“Purple.” Adam responded. “What’s yours?”
“Blue. What’s your favorite holiday?”
“Oh, Valentine’s Day, for sure. I told you I was a hopeless romantic. What about you?”
“Christmas.”
“Being Jewish, I didn’t get to celebrate Christmas when I was growing up.”
“I’m sure Hanukah is fun too.”
“It is, but I was always jealous of my friends who got to have a tree and presents under it and everything else. One year, I’m gonna go all out for Christmas and have a huge party. I just haven’t had the chance yet. I’m always busy around the holidays.” Adam explained.
“An Adam Lambert Christmas party does sound pretty epic.” Kris teased.
“Any party that I throw is epic.” Adam clarified with a chuckle.
Kris just started to laugh. He didn’t know Adam that well, but he wanted to know everything about him. He was falling in love.
