Chapter Two

A few days later.

   Adam was in his room in deep thought dark circles were visible under his eyes he hardly slept since his and Lucy's Argument.

    He was very worried about her but he knew he had to give her space to be alone and decide their fate

    " Why did this have to happen to us Lucy? " he sighed

  "Everything was perfect until we got the results,  why why?  " he mumbled

    While he was still in deep thought he heard a knock on the door.

    When he opened it he was surprised to see Rose.

  " Hey Rose,  how is Lucy? and what brings you here? " he asked

" Hey Adam, how are you? " she asked ignoring his question.

   " Am still alive and kicking," he replied

" is it because of Lucy? " she inquired, though she already knew what his answer would be.

" Of course,  she's the only one that can make me this sad you know " he replied.

    looking closely at Adam, Rose noticed the large circles under his eyes.

   " Adam when last did you sleep?  " she asked.

  " Well, to be sincere I hardly slept since me and Lucy Argument,  she is always on my mind especially when I close my eyes It's her image that comes to view," he replied.

   "  Things we do for love " Rose sighed.

   " So Adam what  do you plan on doing? " she asked

  " Marry Lucy, I guess " he replied

" But you know the implications right? " Rose asked.

" Yes, I do and I am willing to take the risk," he replied

"  Can you please help me convince her?  " he pleaded

" it's her choice not mine you will have to talk to her yourself " she said

    " But I haven't seen her for days now I .... "

   Before he could finish speaking Lucy's figure came into view,  she was wearing an orange top and blue jeans and her hair was tied up in a messy bun,  her eyes were still swollen.

   Immediately Adam saw her in this state, he felt his heart ache for her.

  He ran to her and pulled her into a tight hug just then Lucy broke down in tears.

   Adam let her cry as much as she wanted he drew soothing circles on her back hoping that will help her calm down.

   seeing them like this Rose could only shake her head.

  ' Why can't life be fair to people in love? ,   why do they always have to suffer? '  she sighed.

    After Lucy  had calmed down

" Adam Please don't leave me I can't leave without you ,  I love you Adam " she said.

" I love you too Lucy more than you can imagine," he said

   Disregarding Rose's presence Adam placed a lingering kiss on her lips.

   They were interrupted when Rose cleared her throat.

    " So guys, have you decided what to do? are you going ahead with the wedding? " she asked.

" Of course we are " the duo chorused

   " Wow !!! that's the spirit !!! " Rose applauded as she jumped like a Proud mother hen.

   " So when is the date? " she asked

" We are getting our marriage certificates first thing tomorrow morning " Adam replied

   " Adam !!! " Lucy called out surprised.

  " NO buts, Lucy we can have a grand wedding later as for now that would do " he replied.

   " Alright then so what about the arrangements?  " Lucy asked

  " You don't need to worry I will arrange it all, So all  you have to do is arrive at the civil affairs office nice and early tomorrow morning " he said

  " Oh! I love you, Adam," she said

" I love you more, Darling," he replied

" Hey love birds are you forgetting that I am still here? " Rose reminded, Feigning hurt.

     " Sorry about that dear " Lucy teased.

  " it's okay but Adam are you inviting your parents? " Rose asked.

  " There's no need for that As they had already accepted Lucy as their daughter in law " he replied

   " Oh!  so Lucy are you going to inform your half brother and sister   about this?  " she asked.

   " Nah,  they don't care about me so it's useless informing them about it " she replied.

   "  Adam what time should we arrive and the address?  " Lucy asked

  " I dunno yet,  I will inform you later " he replied

   " Alright then " she replied

" At least every thing is settled for now " he sighed inwardly.

   " Hmmmmn, Lucy I think we should go to the mall to get some dresses " Rose Suggested, Happily.

  " That's not needed I can just wear some of my other clothes " she replied.

  " Are you crazy, Lucy?  let's go now! " Rose demanded as she dragged Lucy out of Adam's apartment.

   " Aww, Such a caring friend " Adam sighed.

~~~~~~

The next day Rose and Lucy arrived at the civil affairs office nice and early.

    Lucy insisted on Rose accompanying her despite the later's protest Lucy insisted in the name of   ' Witness ' Rose accompanied her anyways.

    Lucy was putting on an orange sundress which Rose chose for her and three-inch heels as she was not a fan of high heels.

    Minutes later Adam arrived in his White Sports  car he was putting on a wine suit with a designer shoe.

   When Rose saw Lucy drooling at the sight of her groom she whispered.

  " Hey Lucy your groom looks so hot, can I have him please? " she teased.

    " Shut up!  as if he will spare you a glance " Lucy snapped

  " Hey, aren't you  too mean,  why won't he spare me a glance,  am I not beautiful enough?  " Rose pouted.

   " Well That's because he only has his eyes for me! " Lucy said proudly.

  " And how do you know that, uh? " Rose challenged

   " Because I can see and feel it " she replied.

   " Alright,  I give up '' Rose surrendered.

  " Better! " Lucy smirked

Just then Adam approached them

" Hello darling you look stunning " Adam commented as he pecked Lucy's forehead.

   " You look stunning too " Lucy replied.

  " Hey love birds, don't forget that I am still here  so stop throwing dog food at me " Rose replied Feigning announce.

   " Oh! Well, I thought you were invisible " Lucy teased

   " What !!!!! how dare you? " Rose ranted

   " Hey, hey stop being so childish let's head in " Adam interfered.

    Soon they headed in

within forty minutes - one hour all the formalities were done.

    They headed outside to take various wedding photographs.

     After all this were done Lucy and Adam headed to their new home which was a newly purchased pent house.

    While Adam was a CEO,  Lucy was a fashion designer she also had her own boutique.

      When they arrived home

"  Lucy go take a bath first I will have  mine later " Adam said

  " Okay," Lucy replied.

    After she was done she wore her night gown and dried her long hair

which she later tied up in a ponytail.

   When Adam came out of the bathroom Lucy could not help but drool while staring at his sexy arbs.

  "   Stop drooling I am yours already "  Adam who caught her said.

  Just then Lucy snapped back out of her daze her face burned in embarrassment of being caught.

    Adam chuckled seeing her reaction he moved closer to her and whispered.

  " You know tonight is our wedding night " he said.

  Before Lucy could even reply he covered her lips with his.

  After their intense love making they cuddled in each other's arms as they slept.

   The next morning when Lucy woke up she felt sore all over she couldn't get out of bed this resulted in Adam being her servant for the day bathing her , dressing her , feeding her.

     Seeing Adam pampering her without complaints Warmed Lucy's heart, she felt like she was falling in love again.

     In the evening while the two love birds were taking a nap on the couch Adam's phone rang seeing the caller ID he frowned as he picked up the Call.

   It was his assistant Jackson.

" Why are you calling me? , Didn't I ask you not to?  " H asked Annoyed.

" Boss,  I am sorry for the disturbance but there's an emergency " Jackson  Quickly answered.
