passion. I lightly squeal as our bodies connect.
My face flushes hot as I am not the most confident person when it comes to
sex. However Adrian is amazing and he certainly knows what he is doing. I
usually just let him do his thing, as I am not skilled in anyway. I love Adrian and
I am glad that he accepts me for who I am. I could think of nothing worse than
to be with someone who doesn’t understand about my emotions and feelings.
Adrian gets me and I am surprised at how well. There are times when I don’t
even have to talk and he knows exactly how I am feeling. He completes me and
I love him, I love my Adrian Black.
    Adrian clutches my hand as he escorts me from the car and into the grand
entrance of the Oak Room. We enter and I am reminded of how beautiful it
really is here. The walls are dark wood and the lighting is soft. Small square
tables take up the floor space and each one has a soft light candle on the
surface. As we make our way further into the restaurant, a waiter kindly greets
us.
“Welcome to the Oak Room, may I take your name?” She says in her soft, New
    York accent. Adrian smiles at the woman and then heinforms her who he is.
“I have a reservation under the name of, Black.” The woman smiles at him as
she searches her computer screen for our table number. She looks up from the
screen and she smiles at him –again. I gently chuckle as I watch the woman’s
face light up the longer she stares at Adrian. She is becoming slightly flustered
as she watches Adrian running his fingers through his messy hair. She begins to
blush, but somehow she manages to remain professional.
    “Okay Mr Black, table for three?” Adrian smiles and then nods at her and she
almost faints from his actions. I laugh again as she collects some menus from
behind her desk. She looks up at Adrian again as she makes her way out from
behind the desk.
    “Your guest is already here. Please follow me.” Adrian firmly grips my hand as
we follow the server. She shows us to our table atthe back of the restaurant.
As we get closer Alice comes into vision and I immediately look at Adrian as we
reach the table. His eyes are fixed on mine and he doesn’t look at Alice. I flash
him a reassuring smile, as I break my eye contact with him. I lock my eyes on
Alice who is now standing from her seat. She is dressed in a black pencil skirt
and black roll neck sweater. Her hair is tied in a lose bun and she is make- up
free. Alice has lost a lot weight since I last time that I saw her and her eyes
seem darker than usual. Alice reminds me of Adrian in so many ways and it is
startling to see her here, next to him.
    “Hello,” Alice says as she locks eyes with her son. Adrian glances at me and
then back to Alice. He doesn’t smile at her but he does give her a welcoming
nod. We sit and the server quickly takes our drinks order. Adrian orders water
as usual and I have lemonade. I wait anxiously to see what Alice will order and I
am relieved when she orders an ice tea. The server leaves our table and now
we are alone for the first time. The silence is awkward and I feel that Adrian
and Alice are uncomfortable. I remember my mom’s words and I quickly try to
break the silence and make this easier on Adrian.
    “Alice, how have you been and how is your husband?” Alice smiles at me and
she reaches over for my hand. Adrian doesn’t like Alice’s affection towards me
therefore; he grabs my hand in his before Alice has the chance. I shoot him a
disapproving look and he reluctantly lets go of me. I smile at him and then I
turn back to Alice. I reach my hand out halfway across the table and Alice
meets me in the middle. He fingers are slightly rough as she clasps her hand
onto mine.
    “I have been oaky and Alexander is fine. He is actually away on business right
now.” Alice informs me. She lets go of my hand as the server comes back with
our drinks. I take a nervous sip of my lemonade as soon as the glass hits the
table. Adrian gulps down his water and
