"Todd." Todd let go of Becky and looked at Adam. "It's Adam right?" Adam nodded.

"Wow, so great to see you Becky. How have you been?"

"More importantly why are you here?"

"Adam." Becky shot Adam a glare. "What?" Becky flashed Todd a fake smile. "Todd…what are you doing here?" Todd looked at Adam before looking back to Becky with a smile. "Well my family is up here for business and they wanted to visit your family so I thought I would tag along and well catch up with you." He smiled at Becky making her blush feeling incredibly uncomfortable. "How thoughtful."

"Yes, super thoughtful." Adam said scowling at Todd. "Well how about you show me around your neat school?"

"No."

"Sure." Adam looked at Becky with anger as soon as the word had left her mouth. Todd looked at Adam with a grin. "Great!" Becky looked at Adam apologetically before leading Todd down the hall. Todd put his arm around Becky. She looked back at Adam with sadness before facing forward again. "Unbelievable." Adam said as he watched Becky walk away with the enemy.


Adam stared hard at himself in the mirror. He was nervous and excited. He wanted to look his best for Becky. He had to leave an impression so she wouldn't leave him for Todd. He messed his plaid button up. Buttoning and unbuttoning the top button. "I don't think she will dump you based on what you decide to do with your button." Drew said with a sly smile while leaning on the doorframe. "I want to look my best."

"It's dinner." Adam rolled his eyes and kicked the door to slowly close in Drew's face. He could hear Drew laughing on the other side of the door. He decided to leave the top button undone as he looked himself in the mirror. He took a double take as he looked at closer at his face. He smiled as he leaned in closer. He was starting to get a little stubble. As his smile grew the doorbell rang. Adam sprinted for the door. He almost fell down the stairs as he rushed past his mom. "Gosh Adam it's just Becky calm down." Adam smiled as he paused to compose himself before opening the door. As the door open he saw Becky. She was wearing a pea coat that went past her waist with skinny jeans. She looked up and smiled as she saw Adam. "Hey."

"Hey."

"Come in." Becky came in and shivered a bit from the cold. "Here." Adam took her coat and hung it up. "Hi Becky how are you?" Audra said from the kitchen. Becky turned to see her. "Good Mrs. Torres. How about you?"

"Oh as good as you get mothering two boys." Becky laughed as Adam shot his mom a disapproving look. "See and I get no appreciation." Audra pointed to Adam's face as she started to set the table. Becky laughed as Adam shook his head with a smile. "Dinner will be ready shortly make yourself at home."

"Thank you." Becky said with a smile looking at Adam. "We can go to my room if you want?"

"Sure." Adam took Becky's hand and led her upstairs to his room. He had a pit in his stomach because it was the first time that she had ever been into his room. As they entered Becky looked around. "Not at all how I thought it was going to be."

"What did you think it would be like?"

"Messier." They both laughed, as Becky looked around further. She admired all his band posters and moved to his dresser where he still had trophies from sports he played when he was a young age. "These are cute." Adam smiled, as Becky kept moving. She came across a picture that was tucked into his drawer. She removed it and immediately smiled at the baby version of Adam. He was smiling widely and holding a plastic guitar. "Aw."

"What?" Adam moved behind Becky to peer over her shoulder. "Oh yeah, that."

"Everyone needs to see this." Becky took out her phone and tried to take a picture. "Oh no." Adam said trying to take the phone from her. They laughed as Becky tried to get away from Adam as she ran around the room. She tripped on Adam's shoes and fell onto Adam knocking them both onto his bed. "Ow." Adam said as Becky laid on top of him. She laughed. "I'm sorry."

"It's ok you weigh like a pound. But since you pushed me can I have my picture back?" Becky pretended to be offended. "I did not push you I fell."

"Sure." Adam smiled immediately causing Becky to smile in return. They both looked into one another's eyes. Becky leaned down and captured Adam's lips with her own. Adam put his hands onto the small of her back to deepen the kiss. He presumed to roll her over so he could be on top of her. They broke apart as he got on top of her putting both his legs in a straddling position. Becky smiled making Adam lean back down and kiss her. The two were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't hear the footsteps of Drew come down the hall and open the door. "Whoa!" Drew said looking the other way. Adam and Becky immediately broke apart as Becky quickly fixed her hair and straightened out her shirt. They both sat up on the bed looking at Drew. "Uh dinner is ready." Drew said smirking a tad before he ran back downstairs. Adam looked at Becky who was completely red. "You're super red." Adam said laughing. Becky hit his arm. "Not funny."

"It's a little funny." Adam said still laughing making Becky shake her head with a smile. "Do you want me to hit you again?"
"No…" Adam said running out of the room.


"So Becky how is school going for you?" Audra said trying to make a connection. "It's going very well thanks for asking."

"Well you are certainly welcome Becky. I wish my boys were as polite as you." Drew choked on his meat as Adam smiled. Becky stifled a laugh as she continued to eat. "Hey Adam can you return to football tomorrow?" Adam swallowed before answering his brother. "Yeah, we have a game against Lakehurst."

"Isn't that the team that has that guy who is mean to you?" Becky asked with concern. "Yes, but I heard he's not allowed to play."

"Well that's good news. I will be in the stands cheering you on." Audra said taking another bite of her food. "Me too. I can't wait to see my brother back out kicking some as-"
"Watch it."

"Sorry." Drew looked apologetically at his mother. "Becky, Adam tells me that your running the play this year?"
"Yes, I'm doing a version of a Midsummer Night's Dream."
"Wow that's a good play."

"It's one of my favorites."

"Adam also told me Romeo and Juliet was another favorite."

"Mom." Becky smiled as she looked between Audra and Adam. "He also mentioned that's when he started to like you."

"Drew!"

"What?" Drew said with his hands up in defense. "Unbelievable." Adam said under his breath. "Aw, honey don't be embarrassed she turned out to be your girlfriend after all." Becky smiled at Adam who was hiding his face. The whole table laughed and resumed eating. Under the table Becky grabbed Adam's hand and laced their fingers together. He looked up at her and she gave him a big smile. He could feel her rub her thumb over the back of his hand. She continued in conversation with Audra and Drew. Adam tuned them out because he was to busy staring at Becky he replaced his surrounding noses with the voice inside his head. He wondered how he got so lucky.


"Did I miss anything?" Drew said as he tried to even his breathing. Becky looked at him. "No there just about to start." Becky shivered at the weather. It was nearing winter so it was almost time for snow to fall. "Here my mom gave me this we can share." Drew wrapped the blanket he had in his hands around himself and Becky." She embraced the warm blanket. "Thank you." Drew nodded. "Where is he?"

"Over there." Becky pointed to Adam who was warming up. "Adam plays football?" The two turned to see Todd.

"Nice throw!" Connor said standing next to Adam. He handed him another football to throw. "It's going to be an interesting game I can barely feel my finger tips."

"Here tape them." Connor dug out tape out of his bag and handed it to Adam. "Thanks." Connor nodded as he looked over to the stands. Adam wrapped his fingers with tape. "Who's that?" Adam stopped at looked over to where Connor was gesturing. "Crap."

"What?"
"Its Todd?"

"Who's Todd?"

"Some guy who keeps trying to steal Becky."

"That's not good."

"Yeah." Adam said angrily as he threw the football harder at his receiver.

"Todd."

"Hey."

"Your Todd?" Drew asked pointed at Todd. "That would be me and you are?" Todd said holding out his hand for Drew to shake. Drew looked at Todd in disgust. "Drew…Adam's brother." Drew looked back to the field ignoring the hand shake. "Alright." Todd said putting his hand down. "What are you doing here Todd?"

"My cousin plays on the Lakehurst," He pointed to one of the players. "Number twelve…Travis." Drew and Becky looked at the player and back at Todd in disbelief. Todd was related to Adam's enemy.
