Chapter 16
Adam knew he was in the wrong and Kris had every right to be sitting in their kitchen pouting right now but he wasn't going to admit that he was wrong. It wasn't like he had done anything wrong really. He was almost certain that Cheeks wasn't a danger to children. Adam placed himself on the stool next to Kris and watched as his husband stuffed his face with toast.
“And what the hell are you looking at?” Kris asked with a mouth full of toast that only made him look cute in Adam's eyes.
Adam's mouth spread into a wide smile as he looked at his husband. “And I thought you weren't talking to me.”
“I'm not talking to you.” Kris said. “And if I do talk to you it's only to say something bad you black haired air head.” Kris took another bite of toast before turning away from Adam.
“You're being a little silly.” Adam remarked causing Kris to turn around.
“I'm being silly? You just went out of your way and did something you know I wouldn't want you to do. Something I wouldn't like.” Kris grabbed another slice of toast pointing it at Adam. “And you just did it because the guys are coming. You couldn't cope with a few days with my friends. You needed to call for back up you big baby.” Kris finished by taking a bite of his toast. “Really big baby.”
“And this is you not talking to me?” Adam mumbled. “I'd hate to hear what you would say if you were talking to me.”
“Oh shut up Adam.” Kris snapped.
“Kris.” Adam sighed heavy placing his hand on Kris's shoulder. “Baby I didn't do it just to get one up on you. But baby he's one of my closed friends.” Adam said softly. “He's amazingly weird and kids love that. And I can almost certainly guarantee that he's not dangerous with children.”
Kris nodded along as he bit down on more toast. “Whatever.”
“So I don't see why you're being all moody with me now.” Adam reached for a slice of toast only to have his hand smacked away. “God why are you so bitchy at times?” Adam rubbed at his hand.
“I'm so bitchy because my husband allowed his crazy flighty friend to take our daughter to god knows where alone. What in gods name where you thinking?” Kris stood up from the stool to throw his empty breakfast plate in the sink.
“Guess I wasn't thinking.” Adam sighed like he was giving in.
“If he's not back with her in the next ten minutes I'm calling the police.”
“And tell them what exactly?” Adam asked.
“I'll tell them that my idiot of a husband allowed the most irresponsibly man he knows to take our baby out while I slept. I'm pretty sure they call that kidnapping.”
Adam rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands and tried his best to remember that his husband was sick. That this wasn't his lover talking but when he opened his eyes again and saw the dirty looks his lover was giving him he couldn't bite his tongue any longer. “She's my daughter too you know and she has a right to know her Uncle.”
“Oh hell no. Cheeks will not be known as our daughters Uncle.” Kris shook his head defiantly.
“He would never allow Sophia to call him Uncle.” Adam said with a laugh.
“Good.”
“It's probably going to be Auntie Cheeks anyway.”
Before Kris could answer the front door slammed shut. Adam was off his stool before Kris could even move.
“Don't try to protect him Adam.” Kris called out stepping out from behind his husband. “Give.” He held out his hands in front of Cheeks. “Give me Sophia.”
“Chill.” Cheeks rolled his eyes handing Sophia to Kris. “She's not a football you know.”
Kris ignored the looks from both Cheeks and Adam as he walked away from them with Sophia in his arms.
“For a boy who was straight for twenty three years he really can camp it up with the dramatics.” Cheeks commented.
“He's just tired.” Adam said as he looked towards the door way Kris just walked through.
“Whatever.” Cheeks waved his hand in the air. “I did the test and your daughter failed completely.”
“Test?” Adam asked turning back towards his friend.
“I took her to the park hoping her cuteness would attract a few cute guys.” Cheeks explained. “All I got was a bunch of soccer Mom's and their snotty little accessories.” Cheeks shuddered at the memory.
“You tried to use my daughter as a pick up tool?” Adam asked in surprise.
“And failed completely. So I took her back to my place for a little pampering.” Cheeks said with a smirk.
“What does that mean.”
“Cheeks!” Kris's loud voice filled the house.
“Brad what did you do?” Adam sighed.
“I'm not saying sorry and I would do it again and I will do it again.” Cheeks stood with his arms folded in front of him.
Kris came towards them at a quick speed with Sophia in his arms that Adam didn't know if he should jump out the way or stand with his hand out and catch Sophia if it was needed. “Kris?”
“Don't Kris me Adam. Look. Look what your best friend has done to her.” Kris held out Sophia's feet for his husband to see.
“That's.” Adam took Sophia's foot in his hands to look closely at it. “Really Brad?”
Brad just shrugged. “I think it looks nice and she loved it. She was making little weird noises and kicking her feet like my dog does when she's happy.”
“Brad you painted my week old daughters toe nails.” Adam said with a nervous laugh.
“Not funny Adam.” Kris snapped pulling Sophia away from Adam before marching away again.
“He really must be good in bed for you to put up with that.” Cheeks said.
“Shut up Cheeks.” Came Kris's voice from the other room.
“Really good.” Cheeks whispered for only Adam to hear.
“He said shut up Brad.” Adam whispered back.
…..................................................
Adam entered the bedroom quietly seeing Kris bent over the bed looking down at Sophia while she lay looking up at him.
“What are you doing?” Adam asked. He stayed at the bedroom door just in case Kris's mood hadn't changed.
“This damn stuff won't come off.” Kris complained as he held Sophia's tiny feet in one of his hands.
“Cause your using a baby wipe.” Adam sat beside his husband taking his hands in his own. “You need to use nail polish remover.”
“You can't even see her nails. Her feet are so tiny you can't even see her nails.” Kris put his head in his hands. “I can't believe he did this.”
Adam dipped a little nail polish remover on a piece of tissue and began wiping Sophia's toes gently. “This isn't about Cheeks Kris. Tell me what's wrong.”
“I'm guessing he's staying the night.” Kris busied himself with folding Sophia's clothes.
“Baby talk to me.” Adam's voice was soft and caring causing Kris to freeze. “You know I make things better when you let me.” Adam turned back to clean Sophia's toes.
“I'm sad.” Kris let his shoulders slump a little. “I'm sad and I don't know why.”
Adam reached up to cover Kris's cheek with his hand. “Baby you're allowed to be sad. I just wish I could make you happy.”
Kris wrapped both his hands around Adam's arm as he kissed his palm. “You do make me happy. You and Sophia will always make me happy.”
“Would getting Brad to leave make you happier?” Adam crawled over to Kris till he was knelt between his opened legs.
“No.” Kris sighed. “The crazy can stay.”
Adam smiled widely at his husband. “I love you.” Adam placed both his hands on Kris's knee's to lean up and kiss his lips. “I'd do anything to make you happy.”
“You have.” Kris smiled. “You've been doing it since the night you asked me to be yours.”
“Best night ever.” Adam smiled.
Flashback.
Adam sat in his brand new car tapping his fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of the music playing. He had to smile at what he was doing now. Never in his life had he sat in the middle of the night waiting for anyone. But here he was waiting for his boyfriend. Another thing that was now making him smile. It had been well known around Adam's friends that the tall singer had been looking for love that he had spent his early twenties searching for it. And now at the age of twenty seven he had found it without really trying and it had been so much better than he could ever have imagined. Love felt so good even if it did mean he was now sitting waiting outside a sports bar for his love to arrive.
Adam had been happily laying in bed at him watching the latest episode of Gossip Girl when his cell phone rang. He knew who it was at that time of night and two little words followed. I'm drunk. It was another few mumbled sentences and Adam was on his way to pick up his drunk lover.
The door of the bar swung open to reveal Kris stumbling out. “I'm not drunk.” He held his hands out in front of him to balance himself. “I promise you I'm not.”
Adam climbed out the car to meet Kris. “Good to know. But I think you are.” Adam pulled Kris towards the car. “The question is why?”
“We won.” Kris rested his head on his boyfriend's shoulder to look up at him. “We won. Cool right?”
“So cool.” Adam pushed Kris gently into the back seat of the car. “But what did you win?” Adam waited for Kris to settle in his seat before closing the door.
“The game. We won the football game.” Kris explained as Adam climbed into the drivers seat. “We beat them good.”
“I didn't know you were playing.” Adam joked.
Kris wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's neck from the back seat. “You're funny.” Kris said resting his chin on Adam's shoulder.
“You're drunk.” Adam commented as he held onto Kris's arms.
“True but don't tell anyone.” Kris whispered.
“Our little secret.” Adam promised kissing Kris's arm.
“And that's why I love you. You always keep my secrets.”
“Uh huh.” Adam smiled.
“I'm serious.” Kris tightened his grip on Adam. “We're a secret.”
“That's true.” Adam agreed.
“Do you like being a secret Adam?” Kris quizzed.
“I don't.” Adam admitted. “I don't. I'd love to show you off more.”
Kris nodded pressing his face into Adam's neck. “Do you think you will ever be able to show me off?”
Adam smiled softly. “I sure hope so.”
“But what if it doesn't happen? If you can't show me off and we have to stay a secret. Will you break up with me if that happens?” Kris asked in a whisper.
Adam released Kris's arm from his neck. With difficultly Adam climbed from the front seat of the car into the back and onto Kris's lap. “My little drunk.” Adam smiled running his fingertips over Kris's cheek. “I want nothing more that to show you off. Tell the world you're mine. But if for some crazy reason I can't then it won't change a thing. If we have to hide for the rest of our life's I will.” Kris rested his head on Adam's chest causing Adam to hold him close. “I'll be your secret for as long as you want me to be. I want everything with you. I want forever. I want marriage, breakfast in bed and late nights cuddled on the sofa until we're old men. I want it all, even drunk midnight phone calls to pick up your cute ass from sport bars. I'll take everything I can for as long as you let me if it means I get to call you mine.”
“Promise?” Kris asked into Adam's chest.
“I promise baby.” Adam tightened his arms around his boyfriend as he leaned down to kiss his forehead. “I promise forever baby.”
