Chapter 3

I couldn’t sleep, even though I was up most of the night speaking to my friend and packing. I was too nervous now to even think about sleep. 

He was in Germany, right now. Where I’m heading… 

I Couldn’t believe it when he text me, I was too scared to text or email him incase he wasn’t interested. But he maybe was, he did want to meet up with me after all.  I kept thinking about tomorrow, what would I say? Where would we go? What would I wear? Was it a date? Did he see it that way? Or was my mind just running away with me? 

My train of thought was then disturbed as the seatbelt lights flashed on, we were away to land.   

We got of the plane and jumped on a train, I then realized we would pass through Dusseldorf. My stomach leapt somersaults and my heart was racing. 

Right enough it stopped at a station in Dusseldorf and I seen posters for their show tonight and Saturday. Seeing his picture there made it all hit me hard. Adam Anderson, my favourite musician was wanting to meet up, with me. Me of all people, I couldn’t understand it. 

I didn’t think I was anything special, looks wise and in general. I wasn’t that confident at all when it came to guys, which is why I never waited around after their shows to see them. What did he see in me? 

I thought back to when we kissed, my lips tingled at the thought. 

We arrived in Berlin a few hours later, it was a beautiful place, I found myself falling in love already. Our hotel was nice, luckily I had my own room so I didn’t have to share with my parents.

I sprawled on the bed and ended up dozing of to sleep. 

When I awoke it was midnight, I started to regret sleeping that early as I knew I probably wouldn’t get back to sleep now. I leaned to the bedside table and grabbed my phone, I had two texts. The first one was from my friend Lara, just wishing me a good time and to try not to worry to much about tomorrow. 

Lara was my best friend, I told her almost everything, she had helped me calm down yesterday when I was going mental about my meeting with Adam. 

The next text made my head feel light and dizzy, shivers ran through my body when I seen his name. Adam. Just want to make sure you got to Germany safely, can’t wait to see you tomorrow x 

My heart melted. I checked for when it came through and it was only ten minutes ago. I quickly wrote out a reply. Got here fine, it’s a wonderful place :) I can’t wait either, where will I meet you? x 

Which hotel are you staying in? I will meet you at reception, to make sure you don’t get lost ;) That made me laugh, it also made me sigh with relief as I was worried about getting lost, if I had to find my own way around the place.  

Im in the Carat hotel. lol! thanks, knowing me I would get lost!

I know it, we stayed there last year when we were here! Nice place. I will meet you at 11? 

My stomach was filled with butterflies, I was so excited yet so nervous. 

11 is fine :) 

Brilliant, see you then! x

I placed my phone back down on the bedside table and fell back onto the bed with a sigh. 

I really didn’t know what to do with myself now, I couldn’t stop thinking about Adam. In 10 hours he would be downstairs waiting for me. 

I jumped of the bed and went to my suitcase, I hadn’t even unpacked yet. I took out all my clothes and hung them up neatly in the wardrobe. 

What was I going to wear? 

I searched through my clothes, taking out some dresses, tops, jeans, tights everything I had.I didn’t even know if it was a date or just a meeting. I didn’t know what to wear.Adam was lucky, he would probably just wear a suit, nice and smart but his usual. He did look amazing in suits. I couldn’t imagine him in anything else. But then, he would look amazing in anything to me. 

I decided on shorts and a nice top. I couldn’t go wrong with this outfit, not too casual but not too dressy. I placed it neatly over the back of the chair and lay back down on the bed. 

I tossed and turned for the next few hours, I managed to get a little bit more sleep but not a lot. I didn’t care though, It was 9am and I felt wide awake. I also felt very nervous but excited too. 

I told my parents I was meeting with a ‘friend’ that I had met online and spoke to for years. I wasn’t sure about telling them that I was meeting Adam, not yet. My mum would no doubt have a heart attack. Or be very jealous. 

I showered and got dressed before heading downstairs for breakfast. I was so nervous I don’t know how I managed to eat anything. 

I went back up to my room to get my bag and wait a few minutes. It was now 11am, it was time to go and meet him. I stopped as I placed my hand on the handle. I couldn’t go, I would end up making a fool of myself. 

My breathing quickened as I started to panic slightly. What was wrong with me? I had to get a grip of myself. I took a deep breath and then went downstairs.

I stepped into the reception area and there he was. Seeing him took my breath away, he looked like he had just stepped out of a model magazine, he was as stunning as ever. 

He was looking down but glanced up as he seen me come down the stairs, he smiled and glided over to me open arms. 

He took me in a warm embrace, I instantly felt more at ease. His hug was tight and comforting. 

‘Hey Tina, I’ve missed you. How you doing?’ 

He said as he looked down at me, it was then I realized just how tall he was. Or maybe I was just rather small, or a bit of both.

‘I’ve missed you too. I’m good, and you?’ 

‘I’m good too. You look beautiful.’ 

My cheeks flushed red and I smiled up at him. 

‘Thankyou.’ 

‘Come on, let’s go.’ 

He then took my hand out of the blue again, like the last time I met him. His hands were big and gentle.

I went along with him out of the hotel and down the road. In a way it scared me how willing I was to go with him, he may be my favorite musician but I still didn’t really know him. Apart from what I had seen and heard in interviews… Out of the two of them, he was the more private one. I had always found him more mysterious. Which is what seemed to draw me to him more than anyone else.

‘Where are we going?’

He looked at me and grinned.

‘Wait and see.’ 

He had a mischievous look about him. I smiled and carried on walking. 

‘How did the gig go last night?’

‘Really good, it usually always is in Germany. Like our second home.’

‘I can see why, it’s a beautiful place.’

‘The scenery has got a lot better since you arrived.’

He said smirking and flicked his eyebrows up. I looked down shyly unsure on what to say. I wasn’t really used to compliments, considering I never really went out with guys an awful lot. 

We then arrived down by the river, it was a beautiful place. 

‘I thought we could take a stroll along the riverside, have a chat to get to know each other?’ 

‘Yeah that would be nice, it’s beautiful down here.’ 

Still with out hands connected we slowly took a walk down the riverside. 

‘So tell me about yourself. Since you probably know a lot about me.’ 

‘What makes you think that?’

‘Well from interviews i’m guessing? Or do you not really watch them?’ 

‘No I do, some. But you tend to keep yourself to yourself, so you’re still a mystery to me.’ 

He looked at me and smirked, I grinned back at him and he laughed.

‘Well, you tell me a bit about yourself first, then we will speak about me.’ 

‘Um, what would you like to know?’ 

Like your age, what you do for a living. Your favorite color, hobbies, interests. Weakness. Anything really.’ 

‘Do you really think I’m going to tell you my weakness?

‘Worth a shot.’ He said as we both laughed.

‘I’m 22. My favorite color I guess would be purple. I work in a music store, tuning instruments and helping customers find what they are looking for.’ 

‘Wow, really? Do you play any instruments?’ 

‘I can sort of play the piano, not well but enough. I can’t play guitar though I would love to. The drums I can play.’ 

‘Ah so you’re a drummer then?’ 

‘I wouldn’t call myself a drummer really, I just play them as a hobby I guess.’ 

‘I could teach you guitar sometime if you’d like?’ 

‘Really? That would be brilliant.’ 

I got a bit over excited at the fact he would teach me guitar, he was brilliant at it, so learning from the master would be amazing. Also it meant he wanted to spend more time with me… Well at least I hoped it did. 

We must have walked for at least an hour just talking about our lives. He told me about some of his life before he met Theo and started making music. He told me some tour stories aswell which made me laugh. 

He was rather flirty and very seducing. I of course fell completely for him, he really was irresistible. 

We ended up going to a shop and bought some sandwiches and crisps to eat. He then took me over to the other side of the river and we sat down on the grass and tucked in to the food. 

We were sitting pretty close to each other; our arms touching. Then out of no where there was a cold wind starting to pick up. I shivered, I didn’t think on taking a jacket as it was so warm earlier. 

Adam noticed and he put his arm around me and pulled me close to him. I smiled and snuggled up next to him, resting my head onto his chest. He rubbed my arm to keep me from getting cold, I certainly wasn’t cold anymore. Goosebumps appeared where he touched. 

‘I was wondering, if on Saturday you would like to come over to Dusseldorf for the gig? Then to the after party?’ 

‘I… I’d love to, but isn’t it sold out? I’m too late to get a ticket.’ 

‘Who says anything about you buying a ticket?’ 

He winked at me, my stomach churned at the thought on spending another day with him. Also seeing him perform again would be incredible. 

‘I’ll come collect you around 4 and take you over there.’ 

‘Ok, thankyou.’ 

‘No need to thank me, I’d love to have you there.’ 

He said as he tilted my chin up with his finger so I was looking right into his eyes. He looked deep into mine and I got lost in his deep blue eyes. He ran his thumb over my bottom lip causing it to quiver a little. 

He then leaned towards me more and our lips connected, it felt even more incredible than the first time. He hardened the kiss a bit and his hand stroked down my back causing me to tremble. I felt him smirk into the kiss.

I ended up lying on the grass on my back with Adam leaning over me, our lips still connected. His hand ran down my side and he slipped his hand underneath my top and gently ran his fingers up and down my side sending electricity straight through me.

When we eventually broke the kiss he sat up a little, but still so he was towering over me. He smiled and stroked my cheek. 

‘Tina? Is that you?’ 

Adam and myself both jumped when we heard a voice call for me. I shot up quickly and looked behind me, to my horror it was my mother. For a split second I was relieved that my dad wasn’t there too. 

‘Mum! What are you doing here?’ 

‘I was out walking, your dads having a few beers in the pub… Who. Oh my.’ 

She spoke as she came over to us, then she realized who it was that I was with. I was just glad that he wasn’t actually on top of me. 

‘Em. Mum, this is Adam.’ 

‘Oh I know Tina. Pleasure to meet you Adam.’ 

Adam looked a bit shocked, but he smiled his charming smile and greeted her. Luckily for me she didn’t stay, she said she would leave us to it and see me back at the hotel for dinner. 

I cringed as she walked away and hid my head in my hands. Adam laughed and put his arm round me and pulled me close to him again and placed his head on mine. 

‘You shouldn’t be embarrassed, she seemed pretty relaxed about things.’ 

‘I know… But. Well, she is a big fan of you guys basically. I just know she will be quizzing me when I get back.’ 

‘Aww don’t worry about it, I’m sure she will be fine.’ 

‘I hope so. I can’t believe that out of all the people here to see us it had to be my mum.’

I look up at Adam and he looks at me, we then both started laughing at how awkward that had just been. 

He stroked my hair soothingly which made me melt. 

‘I better take you back so you’re not late for dinner, I don’t want her coming after me for my head or something.’ 

He took my hand and led me back to the hotel, it was an hour away so we had more time to talk. I really really liked him, I just hoped he liked me too. I think he did, I just hoped I was right.

‘So see you Saturday?’ 

‘Definitely.’

‘It’s a date.’ He winked and placed one last kiss on my lips and then we said goodbye and I went inside the hotel. 

It’s a date. I Kept hearing those words over and over as I walked upstairs to my room.
