Chapter 19 Up Up In The Sky (1/2)

It's been one week since Nana's children ended their impromptu vacation in the mansion. Everything went back to its normal situation before they come.

Jessy was comfortably lying on Adams' stomach, while his fingers playfully combing her tresses.

”Hmm, the mansion is quiet. I just realized how isolated we are from the rest of the world,” said Jessy.

”Yeah,” he replied nonchalantly.

”Sometimes, I'm feeling bored. How good it will be if we can go out sometimes, like watch movie together, go window shopping in the mall, visit a park and do what normal lovers do together. I like to visit the beach with you, walk along the shoreline and swim while we're watching the sunset. I wish we can have freedom and time to do those things,” she said, her voice was full of wishful thinking.

Adam looked at Jess, frowning. ”I'm sorry Jess. I can't even bring you to the mall. You knew how my situation is,” he felt pathetic and cursed his ugly appearance again and again in silence.

”It's okay. I understand your situation.” She looked into his eyes and saw it clouded with pain.

Adam touched her cheeks. ”Have you regretted that you entered into a relationship with me? You can't have a normal relationship with me. You can't even show me to your friends,” he said sadly.

”No. Please don't say that-Adam! I'm sorry if my words caused you pain. I never meant it.”

”It's okay, Jess. I don't blame you. But if you want, we can still do those things you mentioned during nighttime.”

Jess' eyes widened. ”R-really? How?”

”I've been doing it a lot of times in the past. But Nana doesn't need to know. Let's keep it a secret between us, okay?”

She nodded, feeling excited.

”Your 16th birthday will be the 30th of this month, right?”

She nodded.

”I will take you to a masquerade party. There's a bar in a nearby town that regularly held masquerade party every 30th of the month. I will take you there. We can both wear face masked and a costume, no one will notice us.”

”Wow, I love to attend a masquerade party! Never been into one.” She said with a broad grin on her face. ”I just want to experience hanging out with you outside. It will be a great adventure for us.”

”Yeah, it would be exciting to do something new together,” he agreed.

She yawned. She's feeling sleepy and it's almost midnight. She got out of the bed. ”I have to go to my room now and sleep.”

”You can sleep in my bed, Jess.” He said suggestively with a naughty look in his eyes.

”No. Not tonight. Some other time, Adam.”

”Oh, okay...” He sounded disappointed.

Jessy planted a quick kiss on Adam's lips. ”Goodnight,” she walks towards the door.

”Goodnight, Jess,” he murmured, missing the warmth of her body already. He reached for his pillow and hugged it instead.

She closed the door of Adam's room gently and went to her room. After showering and changing into her pajamas, she turns off the light and lay down on her bed to sleep. She was about to doze off when she heard a soft knock on her door. She stood up and opened it.

”Adam...what is it?” she said yawning.

”I can't sleep, Jess.”

”Okay. So, you want to sleep beside me?”

”If you allow me,” he said with puppy dog eyes.

”Come in. But promise me first, you will behave okay?”

”Of course!” he replied grinning. He closed the door behind him, and follow Jessy on the bed. As soon their bodies hit the soft bed, she automatically snuggled closer to him, her action brought a smile on Adam's lips. He hugged her from behind, causing Jess to let out a soft moan.

True to his promised, he just cradled Jess in his arms like a precious baby and let her sleep on her own space. ”I love you, Jess. Sleep tight my love,” he murmured sweetly into her sleeping form.

There were times that he found it hard to believed that she actually fall in love with an ugly looking guy like him. It's unbelievable for someone as pretty as Jess to fall in love with him. That's why he truly value her love, loyalty, and devotion to him, it's rare to find someone as wonderful as her 'Jess.'

<<<~~~~~~~~~~>>>

The next night...

Adam brought Jessy into the woods to her utter bewilderment.

She blushed instantly upon remembering what they did in this particular place the last time they were around here. She covered her face with her hands in shame, remembering how hot and wild she acted while she straddled Adams' hips. Her face blushing...

Adam smirked, remembering it too. He hugged Jessy. ”Lol, Jess. What are you thinking? Thinking of that night-?”

She did not reply. She continues burying her face into his chest.

He kept holding her, giving her enough time to compose herself.

”By the way, why did you brought me here?” she asked after a while.

Adam slowly released her from his hold. ”I brought you here so that we can start practicing to strengthen your mental alertness and strength. As you can see, you don't have power yet. While I am born with my power and it's a natural thing for me. You need to visualize your power and built your inner mental strength so that when your power is fully activated you already know how to control and use it to its full potential. By the time your power is finally awakened, I may no longer be by your side and no one can help and guide you what to do. I can only help you and train you today and in the coming days, months and a few more years. Now, watch carefully Jess, how I will use my power and what can I do with it,” he said.

He walks towards the clearing in the center of the woods.

He stood still...concentrating...

Jess watched Adam intently, he was standing still in the middle of the clearing, her eyes never leaving him, then he suddenly disappears from her vision and within few seconds time, he appears in front of her, grinning. Her eyes widened in total surprised...Then he climbs the tallest tree with the speed of light and comes down at the same speed, she was amazed!He fixed his stare on her and waved his hand at her, making her immobile in the process. She can't move any of her body parts, she panicked...he unfreezes her right away after seeing the terrified look in her eyes.

He quickly appeared on her side, with deep concern in his eyes.

”I'm sorry-Jess,” he pulled her into a hug. ”You okay?”

”Y-yeah, am just a little bit scared,” she smiled at him.

”Shall I continue?” he asked with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

”Yes please,” she answered quickly.

Adam went back into the clearing and stood still...

The next thing he did, blew her mind away...
