It's not a secret... Pt 2

That very moment frightened Adrian. The thought of feeling that way towards someone or anyone for that matter, let alone his only friend. She had to get out of there and fast without hesitation she had let go & ran away not looking back. Cameron ignored the the others taunting & ran after her. He lost her though. It had been well over a year before Cameron found Adrian holding back tears from the truth. She was falling for him & refused to admit the truth. Who would if your life was turned upside down without warning. Cameron didn't say anything. All he did was sit by her. After sometime passed Adrian broke down & held on to him for support. It was getting late & this was not a neighborhood to be alone in. He gently lifted her up with ease & held her in his arms as he carried her to his apartment. She began to cry softly expressing her pain & love for him. A love she did not wish to accept, but to her miraculous surprise, Cameron spoke with relief. "It's not a secret you know? I felt the same way the moment we locked eyes" Adrian didn't know how to respond. She nuzzled into his chest for comfort. "It's why I got into fights in school. I didn't want anybody disrespecting a woman I loved. They all talked about how I was getting it from you so easily." A great deal of hate came from within Adrian hearing his former classmates speak like that about them. "Truth was... As much as I wanted you. I knew you weren't ready or if you'd ever be ready. I was hoping to talk to you about that after graduation." Adrian looked up at Cameron & into his honey brown eyes. "When you left me, it broke my heart. I felt like I was left at the alter without getting the chance to even ask you."Adrian hugged Cameron tightly asking for forgiveness. As she was put down they entered his place. She saw his walls plastered with missing photos of her maps of where she once was or wasn't.

That was a long time ago though. 10 years later, they're happily married & expecting their first child together. They made new friends as their time together grew more openly & fondly of one another. They were even asked if they wanted a boy or girl first once. Adrian or rather Angel as she now goes by looked into Cameron's eyes before smiling with a response. "In all honesty. We don't mind boy or girl. We just want the baby to be healthy."
