in love with each other. What is there that’s stopping you?”

I sighed. “Can we not do this right now?” I asked tiredly.

Adrian kept his glare firm for a few moments before his expression softened. “Fine. I’ll do you in exchange.” He smirked.

I scowled before slapping his chest. “Shut up,” I mumbled, blushing slightly.

Adrian chuckled at my reaction before placing a soft kiss on my forehead. “So why did you call me over to you again?” he asked in amusement.

My original thought came back to my mind. “Oh yeah! David texted me the next location of those stupid ‘secret’ dinners he blackmails me with. It’s tomorrow night at the Chinese restaurant you hate.” I pouted before unlocking my iPhone and showing him the next message. David’s contact name was under ‘devil’ and Adrian laughed every time he saw it. Except for tonight.

“That’s it. I’m not taking his fucking shit anymore. We’re doing my plan tomorrow night,” Adrian growled, snatching the phone out of my fingers and gripping onto it angrily as he looked over the blue bubble again.

I blinked in surprise before frowning slightly. “The plan you still haven’t told me about? I need to know it, Adrian! Or else, how am I supposed to know how to act?” I asked frantically, placing my free hand over the one he was gripping my phone in, in an attempt to calm him down.

Adrian shook his head before clenching his jaw. “No, you can’t know about it. You have to act normal the entire time. Don’t even think about it. He’ll get suspicious and know something is up.”

I frowned in thought before nodding in agreement. “You’re right. I’ll just act how I usually do. Say nothing but what I order and glare at him all night until it’s time to leave.”

Adrian chuckled before placing a lingering kiss on my lips. “I am so in love with you it hurts. Right here.” He pointed to his chest and pecked my cheek before smirking. “And here most of the time when you leave me hanging.” He pointed to his crotch area, and my eyes widened in shock as my face heated up.

“Adrian!” I exclaimed.

“What? It’s true! Anyway are you ready for that stupid meeting tomorrow?” Adrian asked as we began to make our way to the living room.

“Yes I am, and so would you be if you read everything I gave you! The company needs this, Adrian,” I reminded him. “Be nice.” He rolled his eyes at me but nodded. I considered that as a win and moved on to another concern. “What do you want for dinner?”

“I wouldn’t mind having you,” Adrian smirked before plopping himself onto the sofa.

“Ew. Cannibal.” I scrunched my face in disgust before breaking out into a grin at his shocked expression. “I told you to stop making that joke every time I ask you what you want to eat or I’ll think of something even more disgusting,” I reminded him, giving him a pointed look.

“That won’t stop me.” Adrian smirked again, quickly recovering.

I glared in his direction before opening up a cupboard. “I’m going to make pasta since you won’t answer me.”

“Are you fucking shitting me?” Adrian exclaimed angrily.

I frowned in confusion and began turning around to face him. “Yes? Don’t you like-”

“Would I Lie To You? began 15 minutes early today!” Adrian threw a pillow at the television before turning around to look at me angrily while pointing at the television schedule on the screen. “We’ve practically missed the entire fucking show!”

I mockingly gasped and placed a hand on my chest. “The nerve they have!”

“Don’t comment, you immortal Hybrid-loving loser,” Adrian glared in reply at my sarcasm.

“Technically, you’re the loser for remembering what Klaus is even though you claim not to watch the show when you’re sitting beside me,” I pointed out in amusement.

Adrian stared back at me for a moment, and I watched as the realisation settled in his expression physically. “Shut up and make the food. I’m hungry,” he demanded, ignoring my comment.

I laughed to myself before placing a pot on the stove to begin making the sauce for the pasta when I noticed the suite went way too quiet. I turned around out to look at Adrian out of curiosity and found the sofa that he was occupying a few minutes ago empty. I turned around with a bored look before I began mixing the sauce again. He was going to do it again.

Moments before Adrian was able to shout in an attempt to frighten
