Falling For Sarah Prize

Prologue*

**Chapter -1**

~*Sarah*~

"Have you decided yet?", my best friend Angie asked with annoyance written all over her face...My closest friend whom I left seven years ago..We were still in touch when I was in New York but there was no fun...Now that I returned back to London, we were together again and obviously like us our relationship was also transforming from childish to adult.. "Gimme some time..I'm still thinking about it..", I replied absent mindedly.. "*Jezz*!!You have spent your whole day and this frigging 'Some time' of yours is not ending..!", she huffed.."You say me what am I supposed to do?", I asked her..She sighed..

"The Hottest boy of the high school for whom the girls are literally dying for is throwing a freaking birthday party for you and is expecting you to attend the party and if I were in your shoes I definitely would *Loved* to go there!! "..

Oh wasn't she now overreacting? I mean, okay maybe he was the hottest boy for the whole School..But he was definately not only a hot flirty playboy for me..... He was *Adam*!! From the time I learnt the word 'cruel' he was there to portrait that..Since my childhood he had treated me so cruelly that any sane person would despise him..But in my matter.... It's otherwise.. Irony..I was not a *sane* person.....

Since my childhood I could only remember him hurting me(Never physically..He was an expert attacker of heart and trust me that's worse from physical attack)..Harass me..Embarass me in front of everyone.. Doing those things used to give his soul peace..So all of a sudden if he was throwing a birthday party for me and expecting me to go there wasn't it obvious to take some freaking time to give it a good thought?

" Listen to me..Since your return I've noticed the change in his behaviour towards you..I think he is trying to make things good between you two..And you should help him to do so.."

"Are you sure It's not his another trick to embarrass me in front of everyone?Afterall It's been a long time since he last did that." I acknowledged her with my doubt.."Okay let me give it a last thought." I added..She huffed announcing her defeat..

Adam's and my dad was two great friends.. They were childhood best friends from what I had heard from my Grammy..So our families knew each other very closely.. Adam was seventeen.. Almost two years older than me..I was gone to New York with my dad for seven years after a very shitty incident(Well let's leave the discussion about this shit for later) ..We returned back to London a week ago..And Angie was right when she said about his change.. Since my return I was also noticing changes in him(Not to mention the change of his incredible body)..In his behaviour towars me.. In his talking with me....In his way of looking at me..

Now you guys tell me,, What should I do?

~*Adam*~

It's 8 AM already.. She should have been here already.. Okay only if she intended to come..I didn't know why but I was over confident about her coming in my party while any sane person would expect far opposite than this.."I still can't believe you are doing this for *Sarah*.." See..A sane person..When I turned I was disappointed seeing Jack..He was the last person I wanted to call *sane*..Okay don't take him as a villian..He was my best friend and the closest one..But why was he asking me this? Shouldn't he be happy that I was finally taking a positive step towards his dear cousin Sarah and my relationship? He was literally killing me since my childhood by giving me the same 'Don't be so bad to her you'll regret later' speech.. "Shouldn't you be the happiest one that I'm doing this?" I asked.."Yeah but.. All of a sudden?!" he replied .. Poor child..He was totally confused about that.. But the fact he was unaware about was that I myself was confused as hell..I didn't know why I was doing this..But the moment she stepped her foot again in London.. In the School... In front of *ME*....Everything was changed..

*1 week earlier*

~*Sarah*~

"Sarah you're joining your class from today?"Dad asked still concentrated on his Newspaper.."Yeah dad..I think the less time I waste the more I'll be benefitted".. We were back from New York for the last 4 days and my admission here was already sorted out through my dad's PA even before we returned here..So why wasting the time?.

My dad put down his newspaper and looked at me with a smirk of amusement.. "That's like my daughter..Always so serious about time..You're sure going to be more successful than me .." Standing up he said.. "Okay than my girl..Best of luck.. I'll be at the office and you know I'm always only a phone call away from you.."Yeah I knew..And he was the only one who's always there for me.."Yes dad" I smiled and hugged my dad..My *only* protector except from God.. He was both my mom and dad for the last seven years.."Get ready And I'll drop you at your School later your driver can get you back at home"....Ungripping my dad I smiled again.. "Okay"(My School is 5 mins far from my home..*Yeah..So far)*

Cambridge High School..The best High School i East London..It's a very beautiful,modern and reputed School(What am I kidding..You guys may already know)..So dad choosed to admit me here..Again it was very close to home and his office..He wanted me to become one of the best doctors in the world..So I was preparing for the London Medical College.. After my High School Graduation I'll get admit there.. The School was not new for me..But my dad insisted on escorting me to the class but I denied.. He would get late and why bothering my dad for something I could manage? He was already doing so much.. So I always tried to bother my dad the least.Again who didn't know *who I was*?. The one and only daughter of the famous business icon Steven Prize, the billionaire.. So It's not a problem for me.. I was passing by the canteen or more the restaurant when suddenly someone gripped me and hugged me tightly from my back..Fearing as hell I shouted loudly when the person ungripped me from the breathetaking hug and came in front of me..Then I realized who it was.. Although I had a trouble as the crazy 8 years old little Angie,my best friend for eternity I left 7 years ago at School was a teenager now..Like me.."You bitch!!Why did you shout? All people are eating us with their bloody eyes.." Angie looked around us..When I also followed her gaze,I realized.. Due to my loud shout, we had caught a lot of attention.. "You hugged me all of a sudden and God so tightly that I couldn't even breathe..Isn't it obvious to be scared?!" I replied.. Then I didn't gave her a second chance to talk..I hugged her to the front and this time she was the one who felt trouble to breathe.. After some time ending our hug session she took a long breathe in.."Who is the breathetaking criminal now?" She behan to fan herself with her hand.. Uh..So her body and all was changing but definitely not her over dramatic nature..She took a good time to see me head to toe..Then making an exclaimed gesture she said,"Dear God Save Me!!..I can see the future of all the boys out there..! You are growing Damn Gorgeous!!I could never feel this beauty on those damn video calls..! " seeing her gestures I huffed.."Not that you are growing any ugly.." I smiled teasingly.. "So...Anyone out there for you?" I added..She rolled her eyes.."Nope..Not yet" she replied.. "Oh now will you move? As I'm the only poor chap here to introduce you with all so why wasting any more precious time?" She added.. Smiling I said,"Okay then..Let's get going."

*Adam*

After meeting with God knows how many girls, Jack was about to introduce me with an another one but I was tired..I needed a break so I told him that but he was enjoying 'the companies' very much so I excused myself..I was enjoying too at first but I had a 'kind' and not everyone was my kind as Me and my 'kind' both were unique.. They were the new girls who got admitted in the High School this year.. Most of them were 13-14 years old..Pretty little girls for me..

I was walking to the opposite of the Lake side.. I usually spent my alone time there..As it was the opposite site so there was generally no crowd at that side..But when I saw *HER*.. I was beyond shocked.. It was all of a sudden and I wasn't ready at all...I only saw her backside but I knew who she was..But I must admit I took some more time than I usually take to recognise her.. I can say she was growing up..Too fast..Unable to decide what to do I was slowly taking my steps towards her and then suddenly she got up and turned...*Turned to me*...God she was definitely growing up too fast..And trust me if I'm saying she was all growing up,, she was ALL growing up.... She was growing *Beautiful* too..And..*Hot*......*Fuck.Me*..

The first thing of her on which my eyes landed was her lips..And my breathe catched... Those most beautiful red lips was something I have never seen in any other girl..They were so smooth.. I dranked every single beauty of her..Everything.. But when my eyes landed on her green orbs I found something that I wasn't expecting...Her beautiful eyes were red,,wet and a little swollen...Was she.....*Crying*? But why?

"Done checking me out?", her voice got me back to the reality..

"Are you crying?" I asked..

"Will you ever give the right answer of any question? "

Her annoyance was also suiting her so well..Goddamn."Oh darling I do..That's why I'm one of the toppers.. Don't you think so?" I teased..

"You are impossible" she huffed..

"You mean incredible? " Was I flirting with *Sarah*!!!

"Last time I checked you and my bastard brother were busy with bunch of girls.."She *insulted* me..Although ny being playboy was no insulting thing for me.. Never..It was a part of my personality after all..And girls love this..*Except her*..

"I got tired so I took a break..But now I think I did the right thing otherwise I would miss the divine view" God why was I flirting so much!!That too with *her*.."I meant the lake and other",I quickly added..

"Wow!!" she breathed out.."You even get tired of girls? From what I heard you are among the one who can't get enough of them.." Was she serious!! Who told her so many things so soon?

"I didn't hear you returned.. "

"Maybe you didn't put on much effort..Uncle Spencer knew about this.."

"Oh maybe..Dad isn't at home for the last 5 days..He is on a business trip.."

"Oh I see.."

"What made you return all of a sudden? That too in your mid session.. "I asked..

" As you know dad's main office is here in London city..He tried his best to handle things fron New York city..Even though he had to travel a lot but he did his best not to return here. I noticed these days there were some office problem and things were getting too difficult for him to handle from there..So I suggested him we can return here..Even though he denied a lot but I assured him that I was okay now and already moved on from that shitty occurrence.. " she described..

"Oh I see.." I paused.."I must admit you are growing uo too fast." I blurted out..Shit...Where did that come from?!!!I was about to add something to clarify myself when awkwardly she said,"You too.."

Then the *Fuck* happened.. Well not what you guys are assuming..Suddenly I could feel she was checking me out *too*..She took a good time to notice my stubbles..That was new for her..Last time she saw me I was a child and now I was an almost adult.. Soon turning into eighteen..Then she did something that arouse the sleeping bastard inside my pants..*God what the hell was she doing?!!* Correction..*What the hell was happening with me?!!!* She bit her lower lip inwardly . I think maybe she also didn't realise what she was doing.. Feeling the urge to break the situation I asked her,"Why were you crying? " I seriously needed the answer..All expressions that were on her face seconds ago vanished away only leaving the pained look.. Something was wrong..

"Nothing.. No..I wasn't crying.. " Still so weak in lying..

"Don't lie..You know how weak you are in that.."

"Okay even if I was crying.. Why do you think I will tell you?" Oh because you *always* do babe..Maybe because nobody else here knows you since your birth..Except Jack..That's different thing.

"Because you will.."

There was a long pause.. She huffed defeated..Facing the lake she took some deep breathe.. There was definitely something wrong... But what came next wasn't something I really expected..

"My mom called me today.."

Sorry? What was she talking about?! Was she fucking kidding me?! "You are kidding me right?" she was definitely joking.. Darn I thought that person was already roasting in hell.."She is ALIVE?!"

She then turned to me..Tears falling from her beautiful eyes rolling down her soft cheeks.. Something moved in me..I reached for her face wiping her tears I cupped her cheek.."Don't cry please"

"Why did she do this, Adam?She was dead to me..So why did she called me to give me the evidence that she is still on this earth?! She left me 7 years ago, Adam..SEVEN long years and not a *freaking* phone call from her..She didn't even bothered to know if I was alive or not..! Now out of nowhere she is saying she fucking misses me and wants to see me?! Is it a joke, Adam?" more tears fell from her eyes..I wiped them.."*Tell me is it a joke?* IS IT A JOKE?" She shouted..Finding no way how to calm her, I pulled her in a hug and grabbed her tightly..Securely..After almost ten minutes of sobbing she seemed to stop..I gently freed her from my arms..Wiping again the rest of tears I pulled back the sparkling brown strands of her hair..

"Why wasting your most precious things on a creature that doesn't even deserve 1% of these? She was dead to you..A damn phone call doesn't change that..She is still that to you and will be.. She is *not* you mom..She is just a *surrogate*.. If she was your mom,,she wouldn't do what she did seven years ago..Moms are not like this, Sarah...They are angels..And Sussaine Leone is definitely not an angel..So just *STOP* thinking about her..Don't give a damn." I tried to console her..But trust me whatever I said about that bitch, every word was true..Maybe you guys are thinking me as a mannerless person to talk so vulnerable things about a mother but you guys will understand this soon enough..

"It's hard..You know how hard it was even then...I fought so much to get past this.. Now it resurfaced again out of nowhere.." She let out a deep sigh..

"I know..And I also know you are a fighter and you will fight again to *win*.." I gave her a reassuring smile..

After a long pause she reawarded me with some of her precious smile.."How is this possible? Adam Spencer talking so *sweet* things to Sarah Prize!! I think I'm gonna get a panic attack.."

"Well please don't.. I don't want to get haunted by *Steven Prize*.... " I acted terrified..

She smiled..God why was I finding her so sweet.. Cute...beautiful...*Mesmerizing*...Shut up Adam Spencer..

"How's uncle?It's been so long I last saw him."

"He's great..Oh you'll see him soon..You know our dads right?" She nodded.. She then locked her eyes with mine.. She seemed hesitant.. "You want to say something? " I asked her..

"When was the last time you were so sweet to me?" Her piercing green eyes were sparkling due to the sunlight.. It was a divine view.. Placing my right hand on my left chin looking at the sky posing like I was thinking about it I sighed.. Then again looked at her. Smirking I said,"Maybe the last time you were being 'A damshel in distress' like you are one now"..She playfully pushed my arm while cracking in a laugh..I think for the time being I was able to get that horrible person out of her mind..Even if it was for some time... But it was a success..

*Sarah*

Mom..The word that holds only a meaning for an eight years old girl..*The world*..When I was an eight years old girl, I also wanted to hold on that meaning.. My mom was so reluctant to let me hold that..She portrayed so much antagonism that I had to leave the hope of holding that..My dad was a busy businessman.. My mom didn't do any specific things(except getting new man everyday and taking them to my parent's bedroom).. When with every new day I used to see a new face with my mom and asked who he was,my mom introduced them as her friend and again vanished in the master bedroom..An eight years old girl couldn't understand what usually happened in that room..She had nothing to do..Had she? Except from listening loud screams and *moans* of her mother with other men..These things happened everytime my dad was out for business trips..

One day when my dad came to home from one of his businesses trips unexpectedly one day early, my mom was busy with her regular routine in the bedroom.. My dad came and immediately I got up and ran to him,my dad came to his knees,I hugged him tightly as if I was sinking in a big sea untill now and then he was there as my savior so I hold on to him tightly for my dear life..My dad.. When I let him go,he cupoed my cheeks and kissed on top of my forehead.. Just when he was about to ask me about mom there was a loud moan..Obviously that was from my mom's mouth screaming other man's name..My dad's face was tired untill now that turned pale. He looked at me with a emotion that was hard to recognise being an eight years old girl..He got up..Told me to stay where I was and then He also vanished in the master bedroom..There was screaming (now it was my dad's angry one), sounds of breaking God knows how many things..Sound of my mother's sobbing.. Punching.. Grunting.. Panting..Unable to resist I went upstairs..The door was ajar..When I peeped inside I saw the friend of my mom laying at the floor..Bloods were all over his face. He was panting..Mom was holding dad's leg and crying.. *Give me a second Steve..I can explain* was her mantra..Then I realised something.. The man and my mom was *naked*..I couldn't understand the scene but it was definitely the most dirty scene for an eight years old girl..Yeah so the first real dick I saw in my life was the dick of my mom's man whore..And that was the ugliest one as far as I remember..

My dad sent me to aunt Lia's with my driver..

The next day my dad went there and took me direct to the home..Not the one where I lived along with my parents untill the previous day..That was my dad's one of the many Mansions..I didn't found my mom there..I didn't found her again in my life..I used to pester my dad a lot about this..with the same question everyday.."Where is my mom" Untill one day at school a classmate of mine told me something that still rings in my head..*Your mom cheated your dad with another man.. She cheated you.*

That day I cried a lot..Asked my dad if it was true? I regret it now that I understand how hard it was for the man whom I pestered with my stupid questions for so long..That day my dad onoy said A sentence '*She is not your mom..Not after what she did.*' And that night my dad took me away from this city..Frim the people.. From everything that happened(at least he thought so).. To New York..

He thought it could save me..But I still felt guilty that I couldn't get over that even after his so much efforts.. With each passing year I was growing up and the scene of that day which was saved in the google drive of my head,was becoming crystal clear to me...*Shit happened*

The first day I went to the High School, it was the first time in the last Seven years that I gotta hear from my mom..While I was talking with her after meeting with everyone, she was filling me with the famous *Playboy series of Adam Spencer* while my phone began to vibrate..When I got it out I saw an unknown number..I didn't receive it..But when it vibrated for the third time I got up,excusing myself from Angie I took the call and heard her voice..My mom's voice..I need not to check it again..I *knew* it was she..

*Hello..Sarah I am your mom..Before you say anything just listen to me..I just needed to say that I miss you.a lot..If you agree,Can we met? You can let me know anytime.. This is my number.. And yes daughter please don't say it to your dad....Hello?* I said nothing.. Just disconnected the call and switched it off..Saying Angie that I needed to use the washroom I began to run untill I saw the lake..The opposite was empty so I went there sitting I began to wash out whatever vile rose in me due to hearing her voice with my tears....

*Present day*

~*A*~

It was past 8:30 when I saw her.. She was wearing a dark green coloured regular fit jumpsuit...A pair of white peep toe slingback pumps..Some of her long smooth sparkling brown hairs were side braided and rest were hanging loose almost reaching her back..Her long hairs were something I always admired.. She didn't know that..She needn't know..She decked her up so simply yet she was looking so beautiful and sophisticated..Cute Sarah.. "*Hey handsome*" Someone shouted with joy..Withdrawing my gaze from Sarah I found Angelina Brunning...Sarah's closest friend...She was also crushing on me I assumed seeing how she was looking at me..Okay that could be left for later.."Hi" I returned her..Then turning again to Sarah I smiled..Taking her beautiful smooth hand and pressed a soft kiss on It's back..She looked taken aback.. I enjoyed it..Winking I said "*Welcome my guest of honour..I'm honoured you could make it* She laughed.. "Guest of honour.. Seriously?!" She exclaimed..

"Isn't it?" I asked.."No..Seriously. Thanks coming for me.." I added..

Huh?*Coming for me?Seriously Adam?*

*Oh she is not a dirty minded fellow like you so stop thinking about it..* My subconscious reminded me..

"Let's start the party then?" I asked..

"As your wish..." She replied..

*Oh Sarah You don't know my wish yet....

AND NOR DO I...*

*Adam*

"Ready?" my dad asked.."Almost dad" I replied..When I looked at him I felt so proud to see him..My dad was looking so handsome and young in his black suit..And it would be better if we didn't talk about how classy he were looking.. Afterall *Ayden Spencer*, The owner of *The Spencer Software*, one of the most known International software companies and also the owner of "The Royal Steel", again A very famous and successful international steel company was the walking idle of class himself...One of the richest Business Icon in England..Oh one more thing..Don't think I was the only heir of this *huge* empire..I have th most beautiful and prettiest younger sister..The bright one.. Adriana Spencer.. My only sibling.. She was in New Zealand with my Uncle Anderson Spencer.. Adriana wanted to become a Civil Engineer.. So she was preparing for it..Soon after she finished her High School she would move back to London with us..I was eagerly waiting for the day..She was fourteen.. Would turn into fifteen this October.. She was so small and already well planned her future whether on the other hand,I had none of these palns.. My dad wanted me to just attain the ability to sit in his chair.. I was in the Cambridge High School of London..The next year was my last year in the high School.. I just had the tendency to stand higher than everyone and that always helped me to remain in the top ranks whether it was about study or others...

Today was 6th March..Sarah's official birthday.. So as always her dad was throwing a huge party and as expected my dad along with me were specially invited..Yesterday was great I must admit..We spent a really good time..Partied till 12 and then cut the cake..Though I wasn't expecting Sarah to offer the first bite of cake to me over her besties or even her cousin Jack,,but to be honest.. I was happy that she choosed me over them..My ego felt satisfied..

As per the theme of the party,, gents were supposed to wear suits..So I wore an ocean blue suit that was matching with my eye colour.. Setting my hair I took an another last glance of mine in the mirror.. Cool..

"Let's go dad" I told my dad who was waiting for me in front of his chauffeur...

"Yeah" Smiling dad opened the door for me.. I got into the car and we drove to the Prize Mansion..

~*Sarah*~

Choosing a dress for the party is the most confusing moment of a girl's life..Specially when the guest of honour was you..Talking about guest of honour,, Yesterday was great..The slight sweet version of Adam was very impressive I must admit..Though I liked this version of Adam but I was also fearing that if he was intending to hurt me again then he was succeeding again..Cause even if I was aware of the things he could do but I couldn't deny that I had a soft corner for him in my heart..I always wanted a normal relationship with him..I wanted to be his good friend.. But observing his past behaviour I almost convinced myself that it was impossible.. But the sudden change in him was again changing my heart.. And that did nothing but spreading the proportion of the ever soft spot for Adam Spencer in my *heart* leaving me terrored for the *future*....

~*Adam*~

Just after entering the mansion my dad was stolen from me by Steven Prize..I was standing in the hallway when I heard Jack calling me..

Turning I waved at him..He came downstairs and we high-fived and hugged man to man..He was wearing A Navy blue suit.. Almost same to me.."I can bet you are going to kill all the beauties out there.." He said with a cocky grin.."As if you will do otherwise?" I replied..

"You know Jack is *always* on duty." He winked.. "Oh but I'm on leave today..You know my dad is here too" I said.. "Aww...That's so heartbreaking " he acted as if he were hurt for me...Such an over-actor..

"When will be the main party started?" I asked..

"Oh that would have already finished only if her highness could get ready on time.." he sighed.

"Stop overacting..Girls usually take time to get ready and I don't think you are unaware about that.." I replied..

"Hey see..The Queen is finally coming."

Who's *coming*? Agh..*Step out of the gutter.* When I looked upstairs my eyed landed on a fairy and they glued there..There she was..Wearing a beautiful blue princess frock with hairs styled in a way like Cinderella? or much more beautifully than Cinderella.. Heels on..Jewelleries on..I couldn't describe anymore..With *everything* I just could tell that I was standing in heaven watching the most beautiful angel..

"Hey bastard. Stop checking out my little sister!" Jack's voice snatched me from the heaven and I came back to reality.. "Huh?" I sounded like I was caught red handed while doing a big crime..

"That bastard... Max is ogling Sarah.." Oh so he was talking about Max...That means I was safe for now..But what did he say? Max to check out Sarah!..That fucker was one of the infamous playboys from the same High School.. And he *definitely* did not worth a single *nail* of Sarah..But Jack's over protectiveness towards his little sister was something I really liked..When it came to the safety of Sarah,,he would go to any extend..Even when I troubled her,he used to give me a very tough time too..

"Let's go" with that, Jack literally dragged me to where Sarah and everyone was standing and literally *pushed* me to Sarah's side! Was he a nerd? Before my thought proceeded any further... My nose suddenly felt a divine scent..A sweet strawberry flavoured scent..God swear that was the smell which played a very vital role in my *types*..And whenever she was around me, that smell was always there which didn't let me play completely detached from her..I didn't know why but now the smell was seeming to get more intoxicating than before *which were inserting more fuels in my heart that was already on fire*

~*Sarah*~

There was a smell...The smell of *him*..I could feel him beside me..So when I turned to my side I wasn't surprised to find him there..But when I watched him head to toe....That was when I was surprised... Or *Mesmerized?Impressed?WHAT??!*

He was looking like a gentleman...A *gorgeous, handsome,exceptional* gentleman.. He was wearing a blue suit that exactly matched his beautiful eye colour.. My *most favourite part*.. I just loved his eyes..There are so many blue eyed peoples in the world but his was *unique*..The intensity were something that I could only find in Adam Spencer's blue orbs..There was an another thing..I loved watching oceans.. I like It's infinite view..It's weaves..By looking at his eyes I could always enjoy those views..Girls were dying to get close to him...Why wouldn't they? All was his fault! He was looking like the God of temptation.. We were looking at each other for God knows how long..He broke the silence.. . "You are looking..... " he paused...After some time he stepped a little closer and damn my heart started pounding.. He inched our distance... God if there had been a way where you could take your heart out from your body when it started to irritate you as hell then I would happily do so at that moment..Or maybe I didn't need to because the way it was beating it would rip out anytime.. And then he did something that left me in a miserable condition..Bending down he pressed soft kisses with his *soft* lips on my *both* cheeks.. "Happy Birthday Princess... You are looking damn beautiful and hot.. " Oh did he just said *hot?* I managed to make only an "Oh" out from my mouth..*Stupid Sarah get a grip on yourself* My subconscious scolded me.."Umm...Thank you" I finally said..

Why was I thinking so much? He was *Adam Spencer!!*.. Trust me he had gone far beyond than than kissing a girl!! *I. am. serious!!* He was the greatest playboy in our school..

"Good evening everyone.. As you all know we are here to join the celebration of our dear Sarah Prize's *Fifteenth* Birthday... It's time for the Cake cutting ceremony.. So let's cut the cake..." Jack announced.... Then we all gathered in front of the huge pastry cake..My dad knew my favourites..My dad and uncle spencer were discussing something about business.. They joined us..Then I gripped the plastic knive and motioned for my dad and Jack to place their hands on me..Blowing the candles we cut the cake and immediately the hall room bursted with the sound of claps and The HBD wishes..*Unlike* yesterday I offered my first piece to my dad,,then Jack,,then uncle Spencer and then Adam..All of them took a bite and offered me back *except* Adam *freaking* Spencer who instead of offering me back,, put some Cream of the cake on my nose..Everybody began to laugh at my jokerlike nose.. Damn he....

"Hi, Uncle Spencer.. How are you?" After the ceremony I found uncle alone.. So I grabbed the chance to talk with him..

"Great as always.. How are you dear?" Uncle replied..

"Fine.."

"How is study going?"

"Great...Any new GF?"

"Haha..No dear..I think my charm is falling down.."

"Oh that's an impossible thing you know" talking with uncle Spencer was always a great pleasure..He enjoyed his life fully..Which actually ended 8 years ago..Unfortunately the happy part was long gone with Aunt Stella's departure..He just tried to show he was still happy with his life by showing his coolness..Or I say dating womens..That was a facade to show Adam I knew that..But I also knew that Adam was also aware of the fact...Since childhood uncle was like my very close friend.. I still believe that Uncle Spencer was my coolest Friend... I enjoyed his company a lot..

"Adam again messing with you?" uncle asked..

"No..Rather he is being very sweet to me

now-a-days.."

"Trying to cover up?"

"Oh no uncle..I'm saying the truth..Trust me.."

"You know I do, kiddo" Uncle smiled..Even if Adam messed with me, I wouldn't tell uncle that..I had never done that..That's something between Adam and me..Why bothering uncle like a Child? But uncle always tried to protect me.. He was like my second father..Ah that doesn't mean Adam was my *brother..*

Adam was anything but

*Definitely. Not.My.Brother.*

**Chapter-02**

~*Adam*~

After all the activities of the last whole week I think Sarah was getting over the phone call incident.. Or at least I hope so..I did so many things to make her forget that shit..You guys must be thinking why I was so concerned about that fact..Where last time you checked I was a total asshole towards her? Okay let me give you a brief explanation.. Though I'm not well with giving explanations but I can do the least for my dear readers...

Actually though we were much different than each other but the biggest misery of our life was almost the same..Our situations were much opposite than each other but the *lack of mother in our life* was the same..But the similarity was only in that matter..Our moms were poles apart from each other..When Sarah's was a wicked, selfish,bitchy one....Mine was an angel..A person full of positivity,,full of sweetness.. While Sarah's mother was a despicable person,, my Mom was always lovable...

Sarah's mother, Sussaine Leone left her seven years ago when Sarah was only eight years old..

She cheated Steven uncle with another men.. That was the only thing everyone knew..Where she went,,where she lived nobody knew that..Maybe she was deliberately hiding because of the fear of being haunted by Steven Prize..Or maybe Uncle did something to eliminate her frim their lives..Maybe sent her to a jail or I didn't know..Nobody knew.. Even Sarah was at her aunt's place at that night.. Nothing on this earth could hide her from him if he intended to do so..But he was less attentive on that matter...That time his only aim was to protect Sarah.. To shield her from all the odds that were rising for the despicable act of her mother...Sarah was an emotional wreak at that time..She went through a very tough time and if uncle had not been there for her,,God knows how she could cope with that situation.. One thing that I still regret that I wasn't there for her when she was going through that turmoil of life...All she needed at that time was strong mental support which I wasn't able to offer then because at that moment, I myself was a huge mess...

The storm of *my* life occurred 10 months earlier from Sarah's..I was nine years old..

I was at my class when Anderson uncle came to get me home.. We were at the car coming back home..When my uncle couldn't bear my curiosity and persistence of knowing what exactly happened anymore he turned to me..He hesitated for a moment..Maybe he was thinking how to tell me the *fact*..Then he opened his mouth and gave me the worst news of my life..My brain stopped functioning for a moment and it was hanged untill I got home to see my Mom.. She was laying there..Sleeping peacefully.. Her beautiful face was sparkling with light..My angel..But there was a bandage on her head and some bruises on her beautiful face like the scars on moon...She met with an accident and...Died on spot...My eyed landed on my dad who was sitting on a stair looking lifeless..Never had I seen the man in front of me in the position he was then..The man who was the definition of power and strength was looking so fragile.. His face was devoid of any emotions... Stella Ayden Spencer was the love of his life...My parent's marriage was a love marriage and untill that day I admired my parents as a couple..Admired them as lovers..Admired *love*..Dad sent my younger sister wity uncle Anderson as she was a girl and needed a great care and dad wasn't in that situation.. It could make a bad impact in Adriana's life so I also think it was a good decision..Though it didn't help her to cope with mom's death but it helped her life from the negative impacts I had to experience as I was the only one left with my dad...

Love is a thing where you need to risk everything of your's to the person you love..You rip out your heart and put that on their feets... You give away your passion,, your emotion,,your heart,,your soul,,your body *everything* to her...So in future, if the person leaves you,,all these things goes away from you with her only leaving your heartless body...And you know what a heartless functioning body is called right? *A Robot*..And I'd seen my dad to go through that phase of his life..I had seen him to transform himself into that...Into a robot..So the day my mom was gone,,She didn't only take away these things from her lover,My dad,,,She had taken away my beliefs and interests in love too...

I had a heart..Though it was a black and cold one,, but I had that...And I couldn't risk the little I possessed.... I didn't want to lose that fully..I didn't have the courage anymore...I didn't have those emotions anymore...I lost my positivity towards Love and I didn't think that would return ever *again*...

*It's better to be a playboy with a black heart than being a robot without any heart..*

"So how's things going with the hottie?" Angie asked teasingly.. She just needed a chance to tease me..

"How should that go?" Huffing I added "They are fine..And I must admit he is trying to be good to me..His behavioural changes are clear to point out..I think he is not the same Adam I left seven years ago..This one is a new one..Or I assume so.." I really hope so..I wanted him to remain the same way he was now..

Taking Angie's double cheese burger, I took a bite.."Hey that's mine..Order your own..I hope the only heir of The Prize Industries posses the little to manage her own tiffin??"

Such a drama queen..I called a waiter.. I ordered for A Cucumber Sandwich and a cup of freshly brewed darjeeling tea..The drink has an unique taste and I loved that specially with cucumber sandwiches.. "Anything else mam?" the waiter asked with a smile on his face..

"Nope..That's all" I smiled back..

"Ah.. Can you get a hamburger and a Yakima Red for me,please? "

I knew the voice and I knew turning I would find him.. "What are you doing here?" I asked..

"Wanted the tiffin with you..So I'm here.." He smiled and that damn dimple gloriously showed It's presence on his cheeks.. He was wearing the uniform and I don't think I told you how hot he looked in his uniforms.. Save me God...! "Sure.. Yakima bottle or can?" the waiter asked and I came back to reality.. "Can..Thanks" Adam smiled and dismissed the waiter.."Any problem if I join you?" turning to me he asked..

"Umm...No..Why it would be a problem.. It's my pleasure instead.. " I tried to give a reasonable smile..He smiled back..Angie was literally eye fucking him since he came here..I pushed her leg a bit with mine and she jolted out from whatever daydreams she were having.."Ah Sorry Sarah...Megan texted me..I need to go and see him..My tiffin is done..See you again in the class.." she waved bye and walked out of the canteen not before giving me a wicked wink..*Bitch*..All of this to leave me alone with Adam..

"Megan..Her bae?"

"No just friend.. As far as she let me know..."

"Oh..Good..And what about you?"

What about me?What was he talking about? "Sorry?" I asked..

"You don't have a bae? Since the day I returned I have seen every guy with a functioning dick to literally eye fuck you..All of them wants to be in your pants.. "

Sorry? "I'm only 15 you know that?" I asked or exclaimed..?

"Yeah..Fifteen with damn hot body and most beautiful face.. " He was looking anywhere except me..What was I supposed to say now?.

"Umm..Okay.. " Okay?!!*You need to give an appropriate answer Sarah* My subconscious ordered.. "Well..That's happening with you for a long time now..That doesn't mean you have to have a bae?" *Wow.. Great reply Sarah!! You needed to say him what's happening with him?Isn't it obvious that he knows his situation much better than you?* I thought he would be harsh instead he smirked...

"So I take you don't have any? "

"Obviously!! This is not the time.. Not until the College.. " There was... *Satisfaction* in his face? Nah I was definitely seeing things..

The waiter arrived with our orders and placed that in front of us.. We started to eat and I don't know why there was an awkward silence..

I broke it.."So...No current date?" Whoa! What a question to break the silence..!

"Nope.." Chewing his hamburger he grabbed his beer Can opened that and began to sip..When he swallowed his Adam Apple popped up and down and I swear that was such a sexy scenario.. *Will you stop eye fucking him now*

Okay...We finished our eating and he paid for both of us even if had forbidden him a lot but who was I kidding..He was Adam Spencer.. Didn't born to listen others...

We were now walking together and eventually we reached in front of the singing rehearsal classroom.. Students were preparing for the upcoming new year event..Sorry don't take me as a rude one but most of them were just seeming to shout instead sing..God there was a huge collection of bad voices and I could see the teachers were on the verge of busting with anger and annoyance..

"Shall we help them to come out from their misery?" Adam asked...

"Like how?" I asked...

"By making you sing in front of them..That'll be everything they need to come out from the misery."

Was he offering me to sing? I smiled.. "Okay..Let's play along.."

He smiled back..He knew what I was talking about..If I had to sing,he would have to sing with me too...

"If that's what the highness wants." He broadened his smile..

Going in he literally *snatched* a guitar from the blonde guy..Savage..I went to the girl who was holding the mic..I told her to let me give it a try.. Taking a deep breath in I whispered in Adam's ears to start for 'Till the world ends' by Britney Spears..I started to sing and after some time Adam joined my voice..We literally rocked it together and everyone out there was just speechless ..It felt so good to sing..And it felt *amazing* to sing with Adam..I always knew how good singer he was..I also occasionally heard him to sing..But we never sang together.. Today was the first time..When I offered I didn't know what I was thinking.. Maybe his recent activities gave me the courage.. Even so when he accepted my offer I was a little taken aback but when we started to sing all other things disappeared and I got carried away with the feelings.. Well not otherwise,, I meant the feelings of enthusiasm.. The teachers discussed something for a moment and I think I knew what was coming.. Then they offered us to sing that too as the openers in the main function ..I was about to say no but Adam spilled out "Yes of course.. It will be a great pleasure.." What did he thought while saying that?!! We didn't even discussed about that!!He didn't even bothered to ask me...When we got out from the classroom I looked at him..I almost asked him angrily, "Don't you think you should have asked for my opinion before giving consent to the offer they gave?" At first he looked confused.. Then he acted to remember what I was talking about..

"What's the difference..You will just have to sing..That's not a big deal for you.." *Asshole*

"That does matter!!I'm involved here..You should have asked me..And why did you even agree to sing?" He paused for a while..Then came a little closer to me.."You want the truth?"

"Obviously"

He huffed, "Actually I wanted some more time with you..I thought in pretext of singing or rehearsing with you I'll get some time..Actually I think for this long I've been only an asshole to you...I want to know you.." I tried to talk but he held out his hand to pause me..Then he started again,"For this long I have been judging you based on the competition I always had with you and when that turned into hatred I don't know..I always kept hating you. Embarrassing you..I made a false image of you in my head.. As an antagonist of my life so that I could hate you more..But now, After spending a week with you keeping aside my hatred or the competition,, I am being able to get a glimpse of the real you..I want to explore that glimpse.. I want to know the real you properly.."

He let out a long breathe.. Then asked me"So...What do you think? Will you give the chance to know you better?"

What should I supposed to do or say now? He almost made me spellbound.. But if he was trying this hard to eliminate the sourness of our relationship then I was all in...I would do anything to give that a success.. "Sure..I would love to.." That was all I said..And he rewarded me with the most beautiful dimples I had ever seen in my life..He took my right hand and pressed a soft kiss at the back of it..Small tingles made it's way to my whole body...

*There was a long future ahead waiting for us*

Where did that came from?!

Uh I was going crazy....
