His Weakness

Chapter 8: Rosella's Confrontation

Rosella's pov

While Adam hugged me, I felt so safe and secure. I didn't want him to let go. He was so warm and cosy. I don't know why but my heart flutters when I am with him.

As we reached the bottom of the ferris wheel, I thanked him and he just kept looking me. Checking the time, it was 5:55 pm. Oh God, I was going to get late for the diner.

"Um Adam? Can you please drop me at the diner?" I requested.

He nodded and he quickly dropped me in ten minutes. I thanked him again and just when I was about you leave his car, he held my hand and said, "It was my pleasure. And I had a wonderful day today. I look forward to seeing you at office tomorrow. Take care Rosella."

I smiled at him and left his car.

Entering the diner, I wore my apron, took my notebook and began taking orders from the customers. It was a busy day at the diner.

Brandon approached me. "Hey beautiful. Guess what? I got a new car. Wanna go on a drive with me?"

I was so happy to hear that Brandon got a new car. He was very hard working and did two jobs. I instantly agreed. It was a Lexus LS Hybrid. Brandon loved cars and had a lot of knowledge about them. I instantly nodded and he just pulled me out of the diner.

I love the way he drives and he took me to an ice cream parlour and got me my favourite vanilla ice cream. We both had an exceptionally great time because Brandon kept gushing about the features of his car and I could see how happy he was.

All of a sudden I realised that I had left my phone and my bag at the diner.

"Brandon? Can we head to the diner? I left my bag and phone." I asked and he was kind to take me back.

As we reached the diner, we were greeted by an angry Adam. We could see the rage in his eyes but also the worry. As soon as Brandon and I stepped outside of his new car, Adam held Brandon from his neck and choked him. I panicked as I saw the scene and tried to separate Adam and Brandon.

I hugged Adam from the back in an attempt to calm him down and it worked. Adam left Brandon and I took Adam to the side. I also mouthed a sorry to Brandon.

Adam embraced me in a tight hug and bombarded me with questions.

"Who is that asshole?"

"Why were you with him?"

"Did he try to get close to you?"

"Did he try to kiss you?"

"Why weren't you picking your phone?"

I shushed him and held his face between my hands.

"He's Brandon, he works with me at the diner. He didn't do anything and I forgot my phone at the diner, we just went for a drive."

"Do you like that bastard?" Adam questioned.

"Bad language Adam. And no, I don't like him, he's just a friend. Now go apologise to him because you almost choked him to death." I told him.

"He is a bastard so that is what I will call him. No way in hell will I apologise."

"Adam if you call him that again then I'll-" I spoke but he cut me.

"You'll?" His tone turned playful all of a sudden. Is he bipolar?

I thought for a second.

"I won't hug you and I wont let you hug me. Decided." I tried to say sternly.

Adam's facial expression changed instantly. All of a sudden he frowned but internally he was smirking.

"Aw, you can't do that. You know how much I love your hugs."

"I won't say your name either. Watch me Mr. Costello." I spoke with confidence.

"Mr. Costello? Rosella, this is torture, call me Adam." He insisted like a baby.

I saw Brandon approaching and Adam stood in-front of me, as if protecting me.

Brandon asked me, "Rosie are you okay? Did this man try to hurt you?"

This angered Adam who lost his chill.

"F*CK OFF! AND IF YOU CALL HER THAT AGAIN I WILL BREAK YOUR FACE." He spoke in a murderous tone.

I was scared by the way he lashed out but tried to maintain my composure. "Mr Costello, you shouldn't be so rude and control your language, he's my friend." I stated, defending Brandon.

I was going to walk away with Brandon when Adam pulled my hand.

"Don't. Ever. Walk. Away. From. Me." He said dangerously.

"I won't if you apologise." I said with the puppy dog eyes.

"Rosella do you have any idea how cute you look at this instant?" His mood lifted. I ignored his comment and made a sad face.

"Fine, I'll apologise. For you." He stated and I beamed.

He walked up to Brandon and said sorry but also whispered something in his ear due to which Brandon was rooted to his spot.

We walked to Adam's car and he held my hand.

"Now can I get a hug? I apologised." Adam asked.

"Let me think, no. Why were you here by the way?" I teased.

"I missed you and can I get just one hug, please?"

His 'please' melts my heart and that was enough to make me forget everything he did and I just hugged him.
