push him for

“He just said that you were angry with him and that you rushed out of lunch
yesterday.”
     
“I only did that because he was saying negative things about you meeting with
Alice.” Adrian smiles at me as he clutches my face.
     
“Baby, how many times must I tell you to not argue with your friends over
me?”
    “I won’t just sit by and listen to him talking badabout you.” Adrian moves his
face closer to mine and I can feel his minty breathbrushing against my skin. His
eyes are glowing and his lips are parted.
    “I will handle Michael anyway; it’s none of his business who I see.” I laugh at
Adrian as he places a soft kiss onto my lips. I jump up from the bed and I follow
him into the lounge area of the condo. I scan theroom as I enter and I am
surprised when I see a few bunches of flowers lying on the side table by the
door. I walk over to them and I gently lift out the card from the flowers. Before
I read it, I ask Adrian who they are from.
“Adrian, do you know who has sent us these flowers?” Adrian quickly walks
over to me as he sends a text on his blackberry.
    “Read the card.” He says smugly. I smile at him, but inside I am worrying what
if the flowers are another threat? I brace myself as I open the small, white
envelope. I sigh as I read the message.
Congratulations on your engagement, love always Charles and Tabatha x
    I gently touch the white roses as I place the card back into its position. I look
back at the display as I make my way into the kitchen. I quickly pour myself
some coffee as Adrian sits on the bar stool –sipping his earl grey tea. He is
texting again on his phone and I cannot help but wonder what he is up to. I
know that I can’t ask him because that would only upset him. Instead I try to
put it out of my mind as I walk over and lean onto the counter across from him.
Adrian looks up from his phone and he has a serious look on his face.
“Alanna, have you packed yet?” I frown at him.
     
“No not yet.” I snap. Adrian rolls his eyes at me.
     
“Alanna,”
    “Yes I will go and pack.” I say as I take another sip of my strong coffee. Adrian
reaches out his hand for mine. I place my hand into his and he gently squeezes
my fingers.
“It’s only for a few days and they will fly by in no time.”
    “I know but that won’t stop me from missing you.” Adrian pulls me closer
across the kitchen counter. He grabs my face with his hands as he kisses me
tenderly. I melt into his skin as he holds me. I reluctantly back away as I need
to pack.
    After I have showered and I have packed everything that I need, Adrian escorts
me down to the car. He places my bags into the trunk of the car and then he
carefully slides me into the back seat. He closes the door, but luckily the
window is rolled down. I reach out my hand for his, but he doesn’t take it.
Instead he lunges his head through the open window and places his lips onto
mine. I kiss him until I can’t breathe and when our lips part Adrian says those
words.
“Until next time baby,”
    The three hour car ride to the East Hamptons seems to take forever and I am
exhausted and bored to tears when I finally arriveat my parents’ house. The
car pulls into the driveway and I am surprised when I see that the driveway is
full of cars, vans and pick-up trucks. Just for a second I try to rack my brain for
an answer to what is going on and then it hits me, my wedding. When the car
comes to a halting stop I immediately open the doorand rush out into the
oversized driveway. It feels so good to stretch my legs and now that I am here,
I can’t wait to see my family. I alert the driver to give me my bags from the
trunk and I watch as my bodyguard carries my bags from the car into the
house. When I enter I am stunned at how gorgeous the house looks. The black
and white décor is even more stunning as the hallway is filled with towering
flower displays. Above the staircase is a new chandelier which is shining
brightly
