Chapter 8 - Taking care of someone

While the morning rays fell on her face, outlining it, Celestia opened her eyes to find what time it is. She got up in haste, there's only an hour left before lunch!

She immediately scanned her looks in the mirror at the corner of the living room and frowned when she noticed that she forgot to change her clothes yesterday and slept while still wearing Dave's clothes minus the wig she threw at the room where Adam is drowsing.

'I need to get the wig before going home or else my façade will be known' Celestia thought as she ascended using the stairs and went to Adam's room, she didn't bother to knock and went inside in search of her precious wig only to find a breathtaking sight. Adam who is shirtless and still sleeping, his magnificent physique, long lashes, and highly sculpted face will make anyone drool even Celestia can't help but to look at his slightly parted lips, 'It must be soft like a muffin' she can't help but feel hungry for the lips—muffin…

'He's a walking temptation for Pete's sake!' Celestia can't help but to roll her eyes upward, it is just unfair for a man to be this beautiful!

She was mesmerized beyond words, after all, it is her first time seeing a handsome man up close, 'how many times do I have to see this man before I get over this bewilderedness?'

"Done staring?" a low yet husky voice startled her, she didn't notice that the man who she's been drooling of is already awake and even saw her in a daze!

Adam slowly switched his position and rested his back on the bed's headboard. He bore his eyes on the lady standing near him as if she's the only thing that's worthy enough to pique his interest, small beads of sweat are evident in the girl's pearly white skin.

"W-what staring? I'm just checking if you are still breathing" she said defensively, her hands even making signs of denying, Adam continued assessing Celestia's face, 'This girl can't even lie properly'

"Whatever you say lady," he said, dismissing the topic, child's play he thought.

Celestia just snorted, this man is really getting on her nerves, one moment he's okay to be with, the second he is acting as if she's not even worth looking at.

With a small 'hmph' from Celestia the topic was immediately dismissed, she scanned the room and find her wig at the floor where she must've put it yesterday, she shoved the dust away and started to tie her hair in preparation of putting the wig on, she has no time to spare especially to a man who's not even putting an effort to converse with her!

"I'll be back later if you need anything just ask Ted okay?" she said like a mother giving instructions to her child before leaving for work, Adam just nod in response like an obedient child.

It looks like she will have her training to become a mother at such a young age! The thought made Celestia laugh, a child really? Being a hopeless romantic, she casually dreamed off having a cozy family with children surrounding her and her future husband, well, it looks like this can be a good training for becoming a mother, she can't help but feel giddy at the thought that instead of her child, she needs to take care of Adam, a young man that has the possibility of being older than her by three to four years.
