Lillian

“I love the smell of this one!”

I hear Mary say we ended up stopping right into this soap shop, and it's amazing. I look around and spot a green one, I pick it up and it smells of Mint, with apple and mahogany wood where have I smelt this before? I look over at Adonis and smile. Oh yeah, that's where; I take two bars to the lady and buy them.

We leave the shop and walk to the boys Mary and Elizabeth take their boys' arms and walk in front of us, I walk over to Adonis and smile.

“What ya got there Lillypad?”

He asked me with a smirk, I blush and look down at my bag and take one of the bars out,

“It um well it smelt like you and I…Wow that sounds super stockerish I mean you smell really good, and I thought it be perfect for when I missed you.”

I stopped realizing what I had just said, I looked up into his Green emerald eyes and saw a darkness overcome them.

“No no what I meant was yes yes I miss you but not in the obsessive kind of way I mean.”

Suddenly my words are cut off, Adonis pulls me in and kisses me, but this kiss isn’t a kiss to shut me up. This kiss is filled with hunger, a hunger for me.

He pulls away and I can’t help but feel a bit dazed, he smirks at me with a low chuckle and says to me,

“Don’t worry Lillypad, I’m the obsessed one anyway.”

He trails a hand along my curves,

“And right now I want nothing more than to rip this corset off of you and show you just how obsessed I am.”

I take a step back to put some distance between us but he pulls me in closer not wanting to let me go.

“You can try and run from me Lillypad, but I will always find you. I will never let you escape now.”

He says in a low growl; my breathing becomes shallower as I think about him chasing me to the ends of the earth. Would he truly do that? Or is he just trying to get into my pants? I can't help but become more suspicious of him. What is his end game?

He finally loosens his grip on my waist and smirks,

“Yo-you are insufferable.”

I say through a gasp trying to compose myself.

“Well, we should catch up to the others,”

He says, I nod, and we walk over to where the others are.” I see Mary hanging on every word of whatever Liam is saying, and Liz is trying not to laugh at whatever Noah has just said. Mary looks in my direction and smiles.

“Oh, there you two are!”

She squeals and I look up at her and smile. Suddenly I feel Adonis slide his arm around my waist, I look at him about to question him, but I stop because I look and see him staring at something or maybe someone. I follow his gaze, and I see a man, he looks familiar, he was tall maybe a bit taller than Adonis, he had Jet black hair, and his eyes were a similar shade of green like Adonis. He started to walk over to us and suddenly the other two, as if picking up on Adonis’s gaze, looked in the same direction.

That's when they both pull the girls closer to them, never breaking conversation, but I could see everything. All three of them suddenly became more tense, more on edge. Who was this man? Why did he have such an effect on them? Suddenly he was standing right in front of us,

“Adonis, what are you doing here?”

He asked in a low husky tone.

“Came here with some friends. Not that it's any of your business.”

He snaps back, I look at the man and he make eye contact with me, suddenly sending chills down my spine.

“Who is this lovely gem you have here?”

he asked with a smirk that looked oh too familiar. Adonis pulls me in closer and tighter, his jaw tensing as the man reaches for my hand.

“May I have this sweet lady's name?”

he asked me, slowly lifting my hand to his lips. It sent a chill down my spine.

“It’s uh it’s , Han.”

Suddenly the man's eyes lit up and he looked at Adonis and smiled like I had just told him he had won the lottery.

“That is a beautiful name, and how do you know my son?”

Suddenly I felt Adonis stiffen next to me.

“Oh well, we met at a school party,”

I tell him, so this is his father. No wonder he looked so familiar, Adonis is a splitting image of him. He smiles at me and lets my hand go.

“I see well you are very beautiful; you should join our little family for dinner one day,”

He says to me before turning to Adonis,

“The night seems to be growing cold does it not son?” He says and Adonis’s face turns pale.

“Of course, father, I will have to get my jacket later,”

Adonis tells him through gritted teeth. His Father nods and looks back at me,

“Until we meet again Ms. .”

He says before bowing. I smile and play along,

“Of course, until the family dinner sir,”

I say while doing a curtsy. He pats Adonis on the shoulder and whispers something to him, he grabs my waist tighter and without thinking I start to rub circles on his arm, I can feel him become more at ease. His father then walks away from us. Noah and Liam come over to us and look at him,

“Hey, man you good?”

Liam asks and Noah nods at Elizabeth and she turns to me.

“Lills, there was this cute shop over there. Let's go check it out.”

Before I could protest, she dragged me with her. I gave Adonis another look, and he smiled at me, nodding, and I went with the girls.

“I wonder what that was all about?”

Mary asked.

“I don’t know, but I’ll find out,”

I tell her, looking in the boy's direction again. He was so stiff, almost as if he was scared about getting caught. Why? Why were all of them so tense around him?
