Chapter 35

-AMIERA

The following day Adam meets me at the school’s entrance, and surprising me, he picks

me up in his arms and gives me a long, sweet kiss that leaves me dizzy when he finally puts

me down.

“You’re ready to go to class?” he asks, his hands lingering on my waist.

I nod my head.

I’m nervous about it, but I’ve never been more sure about anything else in my life. I want us to be open; I want people to know. I don’t want to go through what I went through with him and Lizzie in the past. This could be avoided if people knew where we stood.

He takes my hand in his, and the moment we enter the corridor, all eyes are on us. We don’t have to say anything; the fact that we’re holding hands alone should show them that we aren’t just friends. As if to emphasize our relationship, Adam leans down and kisses my head.

I can already see the envy in many eyes as we walk past them; people are not happy to see Adam and me together. Of course, all of the women who fantasize about him will have more reasons to hate me from now on.

When we enter the classroom, everyone begins to silence each other and point towards us. Bryan walks up to me and grabs my arm, “what the f**k is this, Amiera?”

Adam grabs him by his neck and shoves him up against the wall, “don’t you ever f*****g touch my woman again.”

Lizzie walks in at the same time and sees this, she doesn’t hide her anger from either one of us, and I can sense that Adam is tensed now that she’s entered the room. Why did her presence bother him so much? He lets go of Bryan and takes my hand in his to guide us to our new seats. Abigail is gaping at me, and I know that there is plenty we have to talk about.

Now that our class knew about our relationship, it was time to break the news to my family.

I was terrified of telling them the truth, but I needed to get it out of the way. I knew now

that I wanted to build my life with Adam. The only way for that to happen was to have my family’s blessings. I know that they would hate the idea of us together at first, but when they realized that the prophecy was a lie, that Adam wasn’t a monster, they would allow us to be together; I’m sure that they may even be happy for us.
