Fix You

Chapter 11

Fiona was perfectly content laying Adam's arms. She would love to just stay in her bed, under the covers with him but she knew she couldn't.

"When does your plane leave?" she asked softly.

"Two o'clock."

She sighed. He'd have to get to the airport at least two hours early to get through security on time and it was already ten o'clock. "We should probably start getting ready."

"Yeah, I guess."

Neither of them moved for a moment, then there was a knock on the door. "Everyone decent in there?" Declan asked.

Fiona looked at them, then pulled the covers higher on her chest. Satisfied that they were both adequately covered, she looked at the door. "You my enter."

"Thank you, your majesty," Declan deadpanned as he walked in. He looked at his sister and Adam, then quickly looked up at the ceiling. He'd known for months that Fiona and Adam had sex, but seeing her clearly naked under the covers as Adam held her was different.

"Mom wanted to make sure you guys are moving," Declan said, still looking at the ceiling. "But I don't think you have the same definition of that word."

Fiona rolled her eyes. "Tell her fifteen minutes."

"Yes, madam." Declan bowed dramatically before he left the room, leaving the door open behind him.

"Declan, door!"

"It's still there."

Fiona sighed and looked at Adam, who was already searching the floor for his boxers. They weren't within reach from where he sat on the bed. He reached for them then tumbled out of the bed.

She laughed and tossed his pillow to him. "You might want to cover up."

He glared at her as he grabbed his boxers. "I'm fine, thanks for asking." He quickly pulled them on and walked to the door, closing it.

"There they are," Declan said as Fiona and Adam walked down the stairs, carrying his bags. "What were you guys doing up there? Sounded like you were herding elephants."

Fiona looked at Adam and smirked. "Told you, you could stand to lose a couple kilos."

"Thanks, baby. That's real nice."

She dropped the bag she was carrying as she reached the bottom of the stairs. "I like my men with some meat on them," she teased.

"Really? Maybe I should stop working out and start eating Moon Pies instead."

"Mmm, yeah. Love handles. Sexy."

He laughed as dropped his bag and pulled her into his arms, kissing her softly.

Declan cleared his throat, causing them to separate. "The parents are in the next room so…"

She smiled and leaned close to Adam. "Make it last," she whispered before kissing him again.

"Or you can just ignore me," Declan murmured. "Mom, Fi and Adam are up!"

They broke apart again as Lara walked into the room. "Perfect day for you two to decide to sleep in."

"Oh, I don't think they were sleeping," Declan quipped.

Fiona rolled her eyes and punched her brother in the arm, making him laugh.

Lara simply smiled. "Adam, the car will be here in about fifteen minutes."

Adam nodded before he turned to Fiona. "I'm gonna miss you."

Lara grabbed her son's arm and led him into the other room.

She sighed. "And I'm not? Sorry this trip wasn't more fun for you."

He shook his head. "It was fine."

She gave him a look. Adam's visit to New York consisted of one disaster after another. "Hopefully you'll have more fun in the summer."

He smiled. "State dinners and swanky parties? How could I not?" The only 'formal' event he'd gone to in his stay was a private family dinner at an upscale restaurant, where he had to wear a jacket and tie.

She smiled sadly as the elevator door opened. "Ms. Coyne," the elevator operator greeted her, tipping his hat. "The car for Mr. Torres has arrived."

"Right," she whispered, turning to look back at Adam. "Do you want me to come with you? It's easy to get lost in JFK."

"I'm sure I can manage." He kissed her softly. "I won't leave if you're there," he whispered.

"I know how that feels," she told him as she held him tightly. There were several times she'd visited him during the fall semester, getting on the plane back home was always the hardest part.

"See you at spring break?"

"Before that," she told him. "I'll try to find a weekend to come visit."

He nodded and kissed her once more. "I'll see you soon." He picked up his bag as he walked to the elevator.

Declan and Lara emerged from the adjoining room in time to wave goodbye. Adam watched as Lara crossed the room to hug her daughter before the elevator door closed.

The End

AN: at least Adam's New York visit ended on a good note. Kind of. The next story should be up on Tuesday, if not Monday. It'll be the spring semester, which means Valentine's Day and their anniversary.
