Dead Man Walking ~ 11/? ~
When Kris came to visit Adam the next day, he had some news for him. Brad had been to Andrew to talk with him.Andrew hadn't said he did it, but Brad was pretty sure of it and he had good hope that Andrew would confess. Although Brad thought there was really something wrong with him... It was like Andrew was afraid of him.
Soon enough their conversation went on to Cale...
" You must be pretty happy about not seeing Cale here anymore " Kris said
" Yeah, but I'm not the only one! I think everyone's glad we got rid of him, especially Cowell "
" Yeah, can imagine that... "
" Hey, you know word is out that Donnovan called Cowell right after he heard from Mills that he was kicked out, telling him to let Mills back in again. But Cowell won't budge, it seems like they don't like eachother that much "
" You won't say... "
Adam raised his eyebrow " You know something about them? "
Kris laughed " Know something? I know almost everything about Simon Cowell and Jason Donnovan that there is to know about them "
Adam got curious " Spill! What's the story between the two of them? "
" Well... " Kris hesitated for a minute about if he could really tell him, oh hell, this is Adam... Ofcourse he could tell him " Didn't you think it was strange that I said to Simon that I've been working for six years under him, while I told you earlier about the story how Cale and I became a couple and that was only four, almost five, years ago "
" Yeah, now you mention it... "
" Simon Cowell has been chief of the police department for years before Donnovan arrived. I've worked three years under Cowell as a police officer and three years here in this prison "
Adam's jaw dropped " Are you kidding me? How come he gave up his job as chief of police? "
" He didn't actually... He lost it... "
" How? "
" They needed a temporary teacher for police school a few towns further from here, the mayor asked if Cowell wanted the temporary job and he accepted it. They appointed Donnovan as his replacement, nobody was really happy with it, but what could we do about it? When Cowell came back after three months of teaching students, Donnovan had changed everything that Cowell had created, so Cowell had to work his way back up to the top. Cowell was furious, he went to the mayor and gave him the choice, or he would get his place back, or he would quit. The mayor couldn't give him his job back, so he quit "
" Wow, I'm actually speechless... "
" Well, that's a first! " Kris laughed
Adam slapped his arm playfully " So what about you? What did you do? "
" I tried to stay, 'cause Cale wanted me to stay, but it didn't work... I didn't get along with Donnovan, Cale did, so I quit too after a few months. When I heard Cowell was the boss here now, I thought maybe I could work here too. When I asked him he agreed immediately, he said I would be perfect for this, and he was right, this really was like dream for me... "
" Hmm... " Adam mused " Where do I fit into that dream? "
" You? You're the best part of the dream baby " Kris took Adam's hand and dropped a little kiss on it
" Really? " Adam's whole face lit op and his eyes were shining brightly
Kris nodded " Really. "
Adam reached forward, ready to kiss Kris for the first time righ on the lips, they both closed their eyes...
" Humhum "
The sudden cough made both Kris and Adam start and they pulled away from eachother, looking up at the person who had coughed
" I'm sorry to interrupt " Simon Cowell said with a little smile on his face " But I have news for you Adam "
Adam looked curiously at him " What might that be? "
" I've got a phonecall from someone of the court room, you're trial is tomorrow afternoon"
" Oh " Adam looked over at Kris " That's uhm... Soon... "
Kris grabbed his hand again " That's great baby! The sooner you get out of here,the better! "
" Yeah... " Adam looked a little uncomfortable at their joined hands " What if I don't get out? What if they say I'm guilty... "
" Baby... " Kris whispered, thightning his grip on Adam's hand
Simon Cowell looked from Kris to Adam " I think I should leave you two alone right now... I'll see you both tomorrow "
Adam and Kris both nodded at Simon, then they looked back at each other
" What makes you think you won't get out of here baby? " Kris asked
" Well, I don't have any proof of my innocence, only Andrew can come forward and confess... But what if he doesn't? "
" I think Anoop can put enough pressure on Andrew to confess when he's in court "
" I really hope so... "
" I'm pretty sure about it "
Adam didn't say anything, he just gave Kris a weak smile. Kris knew this was a sign to stop talking about the trial so he also didn't say anything anymore, he just held on to Adam's hand, trying to let him know that he would be there for him, whatever happened, he would be there for him, every step of the way...
~~
When Adam went to his cell that evening, he couldn't believe what he saw... Kris was in his cell and he was sitting on Brad's bed. Kris smiled widely as he saw Adam coming in
" Hey baby! "
" Kris? What are you doing here? I thought you went home... "
" Nope, I talked to Simon and he said I could stay, as long as he didn't have to watch the security tapes tomorrow to see something very disturbing " Kris smiled shyly, he really couldn't hide the blush that crept up his face
Adam laughed " He said that, did he? Well, what if we give him Something disturbing... " he wiggled his eyebrows seducingly
" Adam! Please... " Kris rolled his eyes
" Oh baby... " Adam wrapped his arms around Kris " I'll behave, you know I will... I just want to cuddle a little "
" Only a little? " Kris looked wide eyed at Adam, almost beggingly
" How can I resist those puppy eyes? " Adam chuckled as Kris' whined like a puppy " Ok, ok... You win.There will be lots of cuddling "
Kris slapped Adam's arm playfully " As if you would mind doing that "
Adam pulled Kris' closer " No, I wouldn't mind doing that at all...What do you think about starting to cuddle... Now? "
Kris pulled away out of Adam's arms, making him look a little confused, he pulled Brad's bed next to Adam's and sprawled down up on it, he rolled over on to his back and looked over at Adam " What are you waiting for baby? I'm ready to cuddle and be cuddled in return " he opened his arms and winked
Adam laughed and shook his head a little " You, Kristopher Allen, are Really something else... " he walked up to him, lay himself down on his own bed, moving closer to Kris, wrapping him in his arms and kissing him softly on his temple
Kris sighed contently " You really love me... Don't you? "
" Yes baby, I do... "
Adam knew Kris was talking about Cale right then, how he hadn't loved him, atleast, not Really loved him...
Adam couldn't understand it... How could someone not love this guy?
Kris was amazing, and Adam was gonna do everything he could to make that clear to him...
" Come here... " Adam whispered and lifted Kris' head up to meet his eyes " Let me show you how much I love you "
He kissed Kris right on his lips... It was soft, tender and a little short... But it was the best kiss ever 'cause it was Kris... He never wanted to kiss anyone else in his life ever again.
Kris was it for him...
Even if he would die after his trial, he still had the memory of this kiss, and that was all he ever wanted...
