Chapter 18 Just Like That

MARINA
I am so grateful that Adam still loves me despite everything but I have this feeling that he knows something, but I push the thoughts away and focus on the present.
I yelp when a pair of hands grip my waist.
"Bit nervous love?" he asked and I gasped as he nibbled my ear.
"Adam stop I'm cooking," I giggled as it was too ticklish, my heart warmed when he called me love as an endearment.
He didn't even budge to stop instead he continued what he was doing. I prevent myself from laughing for he will not stop and act to be serious.
"Adam I'm cooking, sit there and behave," I said and I was surprised that he obeyed immediately. I looked at him and a laugh burst out of my mouth for he was pouting and he looked cute and adorable.
He pulled the chair and took a seat and I can tell that he is now being childish. He looked at me with puppy eyes and I burst out laughing and he joined me.
"Stop acting like a puppy it's not cute."
"Love you can't resist my charm," he chuckled and winked at me.
"Not cute at all," I blushed when he winked at me and I didn't want him to see me go red so I lowered my head and got my attention unto what I am cooking.
"Ohhhhhh is that so? So why are red as a tomato? Don't force yourself to be serious love, I love how I make you blush," he said teasingly.
"Enough of the flirt, here's the breakfast let's eat," I said as I placed the plate and utensils.
Adam cleared his throat and caused me to look at him.
"Love can I ask you something?" he asked and I nodded.
"I already told my mom that we are going there and she wants to meet you, my soon to be wife," he said as he got my hand and gently squeezed it I began to get nervous.
"Don't get nervous I'm always by your side, please? I want you to meet them already" he added and a smile formed in my lips.
"Will they like me?" I thought to myself what I'm gonna suppose to act and to behave. I haven't even seen his parents, I think of their faces.
"They're gonna like you and love you, I promised and they don't bite love so stop thinking negative things," he said as if he was reading my mind.
"Adam, can I ask you too?"
"Of course love," he answered as he let go of my hand as he took a sip of his coffee.
"What happened to my sister Mirana?" I asked and he looked at me with pity in his eyes and anxiety rose on me.
"I talked to her after we fought and she asked for your forgiveness. I know she did mistakes to you but I wish you could find forgiveness in your heart, " he said and a single tear ran through my cheeks.
"She doesn't have the strength to face you, instead she gives me this letter for you," he said as he gets the envelope out of his back that I didn't even see earlier.
"Here," he said and handed me the letter.
"Thanks, Adam," I hold the letter and I break into a sob.
Adam rushes into me and hugs me tightly as he runs his hands in my back, hushing me and I even cried harder.
"Anything love and I want to tell you something, "he said and I lifted my head to look at him.
"She's pregnant," he said and my mouth dropped open.
"She is?" I asked and he immediately nods.
"I'm so happy for her and who's the father?" I asked hoping that it would be Marco, yes in the first place I don't like him he hurt my sister once but my sister still loves him and maybe he is and I wish he is.
"It's Marco," he answered and I can feel that he was so itchy to ask something but he can't blurt it out though I don't want to ask him what he was thinking. I'll just wait for him to open up.

ADAM
I know it hurts for her, Mirana deserves to be punished but maybe she brings enough. And I hope she'll find a place to rest her mind and of course for the child, she's carrying with.
Flashback
"Mirana please take care of the child," I said as I opened the door
"I will Adam don't worry, I'll love this child and I'll take care of her, pray that I'll get this through and get Marco back," she said as she wipes her tears using the back of her hand.
"My sister is so blessed having you Adam, maybe you both are meant for each other since we were a child. Sorry for not telling you I have a twin-" she stated and I cut her off.
"You're forgiven can you handle yourself now?" I asked worriedly and she gave me a reassuring smile and nod.
"Thank you for forgiving me that fast."
"Adam?" Marina pulled out of my thoughts.
"Sorry, what are you saying?" I asked while I played with her hair.
"You can let go of me now I'm starving," she laughed and I loosen my grip on her and we joyfully ate our breakfast.

KEIRO'S POV
I took a sip of my coffee when my phone rang.
I didn't bother looking at the caller ID and placed the phone to my ear.
"Keiro's speaking this?" I spoke and I frowned as no one responded.
I looked at my phone and it was an unknown number.
"Who's this?" I asked sternly.
"Rosso," the other answered and a jolt of shock hit me.
"Nero?" I was completely shocked and I stood up not believing this is Nero. It's been a hundred years without seeing each other.
I heard him chuckled on the other line.
"Miss me?" he asked and I know he's already mocking me but I'll slip that away for now.
"You fool! Where are you? why now you just thought to call me you fucking asshole, "I shouted and I heard him again laugh.
seriously? That's all he can say? Laugh at me how I miss this geek.
"Still didn't change huh"
"Could you open this door of yours so I can enter," he stated and I quickly rushed to the door and opened it and there he was grinning at me while holding his phone into his ear.
"Miss me?" he again asked and I embraced him with a hug and he returned the gesture.
"I think we should go inside," he said and I chuckled and let him enter
He comfortably sits on the couch and gestures to me to sit with him and it looks like I'm the visitor of my own house.
"Whoooo you had changed?" I asked and this asshole just gives me an insulting smirk he did change because of that bitch.
"Don't look at me like that Ross you're drooling. Am I that hot?" he jokingly said and I tossed him the pillow near me and he chuckled.
"Between the two of us, you know that I'm the hottest one," I stated and he snorted.
"How are you?" he asked and I can tell that something was not right on his tone even though years have passed. I still know neither when he has a problem nor somethings bothering him.
"Fine here man how bout you?"
"I don't know," he answered and I got intrigued.
"You can tell me, Marco"
