Episode 18: The Camp

Julie: You look happy now with a new guy beside you.

Molly: What are you talking about?

They were watching Adam who was setting up the camp.

Julie: You know what I mean. I'm referring to him- your new boyfriend.

Julie pointed her finger at Adam.

Molly: Stop doing that! He will notice you!

Molly blushed.

Julie: See what I mean? You're blushing! Oh my God! I'd never thought this would happen...!

Molly: What do you mean?

Julie: You're falling for him, aren't you?

Molly: You're talking nonesense.

Julie: Oh, am I? Then why do your eyes tail him whenever he is not close to you? Why do you always check him out? Why do you smile like a 9 year old girl who just got the biggest candy in the world when you look at him?

Molly: I did not do such thing!

Julie: Come on Mol.. We've been best friends since we were born! Don't lie to me..!

Molly: Well,he is kinda different. He's not like the others.

Julie: What do you mean?

Molly: He treats me nicely. He has never hurt my feelings. He's the first guy I met who weren't looking at my boobs. He is...nice, I suppose?

Julie: Oh come one! He is not just nice. You totally dig him, don't you?

Molly: Okay, but let this just be between of us okay? I don't want to freak him out.

Julie: I'm listening.

Molly: Well, whenever I'm with him, I don't feel invisible. Being around him makes me feel like I exist and I'm important. He looks at me in the eyes and he have that look. The look which no one have ever given to me before. I can be myself around him.

Julie: Wow. I knew this day would come but I didn't think it'd be this fast.

Molly: I know.. I never thought I'd ever feel this way. But you know what the real situation is. We're not even a real couple. We're just pretending.

Julie: Mol, I can see it in his eyes- you're all he's looking at. He's a decent guy, different from the ones you have dated before. It is not easy to find a noce guy like that. Don't let him go. Win his heart.

Molly: But, obviously I'm not his type! I mean look at him! He yearns for girls who have great ambitions, who is not a slut, perharps a virgin. His type of girl would be someone like Brooke. Brooke has it all. She's smart, disciplined, good-mannered, comes from a good background, stable. I'm not like her! I don't have the qualities.

Julie: OMG! Mol! You just sounded like my mother! All those trash talking about yourself! Come on, you're MOLLY! And the Molly that I've know pretty much my entire life doesn't give up easily, doesn't surrender to circumstances and most of all, believed in love. I still remember you saying that when Ms.Hinnigan, our English teacher asked you what you wanted to be. You said you wanted to be a housewife-to be loved and cared for. Where did it all go?

Molly: I don't know Jules.. I don't know. Yes, I do have feelings for him and he gives me this vibe and all but...

Julie: What's stopping you?

Molly: I'm scared. Being with him meaning I can be true to myself. But I hate that part. I feel so naked and exposed. He can see through me. I can't avoid it sometimes. It scares me to death! I don't want him to know Jules.. Not, he must never know!

Tears came out of Molly's eyes.

Julie: Okay... Relax.. Hey, don't cry now babe. It's okay now. I understand.. Hush.. I won't tell him. This is between the two of us.

Molly: Just between the two of us?

Julie: Yeah, just the two of us.

By then, Adam came running when he saw Molly was crying.

Adam: Hey, hey. What's wrong? Why is she crying Julie?

Julie: I'm not sure. Hey! Did you hear that? Luke is calling me! Adam, you take good care of Molly will you? I've got things to do.

Adam: Okay?

Julie stood up and left Molly in the hands of Adam. She whispered...

Julie: Yeah, I know you will take good care of Molly.

Adam: Molly, are you okay? Are you crying?

Molly: No, nothing. Why would I cry?

Molly tries to wipe out her tears. But Adam saw it.

Adam: Well, if that is not tears in your eyes then let us consider it as candies instead okay?

Molly chuckled. She hit Adam on the chest.

Adam: Ouch. That hurts.

Molly: Then stop those nonsense!

Adam: Shhh! Is that a laugh I'm hearing?

Molly: If I didn't know you any better, I would say you are flirting!

Adam: Flirting? Me? Are you sure? Wow. That would make Jane proud. Really.

Molly: And there you go again!

But Adam looked confused. He didn't understand why Molly said he was flirting.

Molly: Anyway, nice camp you set up there. And you said you were no good at this!

Adam: It's just a camp. Okay, don't look but why is everyone looking at us?

Molly: May be they're just jealous.

Adam: Of what?

Molly smiled. She leaned over to Adam, stopping him from getting up. Adam was surprised. He blinked, twice. Their eyes were gazing into each others. With a soft look, Molly went near Adam. She brushed her cheek upon his. Their foreheads were against each others. Their noses met.

Episode 17: Answers

Sam and Lewis: Yo Buddy!



Adam: Hey men, what's up?



Sam: Dude, you have got to get away from here!



Adam: What's the problem now? Is it Missie again?



Lewis: Dude! She's not even a problem. You can leave that chick to us.



Sam: It's Brad! He's back from training and he's looking for you!



Adam: Why would he look for me?



Lewis: Dude! Isn't it obvious? Coz you stole his girlfriend, Molly!



Adam: But Molly aren't really his girlfriend...



Sam: It didn't matter what happen! He wants to beat you!



Adam: So let him be. I don't care.



Lewis: Buddy, if we could fight, we wouldn't be scared like this. But we know nothing or martial arts! Let's get going! Or we're dead.



Adam: Well, you can join me or flee. It's all up to you.



Sam: Lewis, don't be a puss! Let us stay besides him, no matter what.



Just then Brad and his gang came and were looking for Adam.



Brad: Adam! How dare you!



Adam was eating at the cafeteria and he didn't stop even for that awful, Brad.



Brad: You stole my girlfriend!



Adam: Which one?



Brad was about to punch Adam when Sam and Lewis interfered.



Lewis: Hold up there. He didn't bother you at all so why should you bother him? Can't you see he's enjoying his meal right here?



Sam: Yeah man! You should never interfere a man when he's having his meal! It's lunch so technically it's the second most important meal of the day. Don't you get it?



Brad: Get the hell out of here. Or I'll smack you both! Guys, deal with these two morons!!



Brad's friends went forward to beat Sam and Lewis but someone intervened.

Adam: There's no need for violence.

Brad: There won't be one since we'll do the beating and you'll do the receiving.

Adam: Aha! A man of words eih? Well, why don't we settle this in court?

Brad: Huh! No thanks. I think I'll just do this instead!

Brad tried to hit Adam but he manged to avoid it. Brad tried swinging his fist at Adam but again he manged to avoid it. And it caused Brad to fell on the floor. And he fainted after he accidentally knocked himself on the table.

Adam: I told you. There's no need for violence. Anyway guys, let's go. I lost my appetite.

Brad's guys: Hold up! We're still here!

Adam: Yeah, I noticed. It is better you spend your time and energy to pick him up rather than getting in a fight with me.

Brad's guys: Who said we won't do anything? Let's take this outside.

One of Brad's guys took a shot at Adam from his back while he was facing the others in front of him. Adam fainted and Lewis and Sam tried to help out but they too got hit on the head.

------------------------------------------------------------

Brad: Hahaha! Hahaha! You think you can beat me?You're wrong!

Adam regained his consciousness but felt pain in his head. He was lying on the road.

Brad: Do you know how hard it was for me to get Molly: I was this close to have her as my girlfriend. But you came out of nowhere and stole her from me!

Adam: Why would you want her so much huh? You don't care about her feelings! After you slept with her you left her alone! Why now?!

Brad: She told you about us? She told you??!

Adam: It wasn't hard to guess so.

Brad: You pathetic little life! Yeah,I left her. It was my biggest mistake,EVER! Ever since I dumped her, my life are ruined! I need her back. She's my lucky charm.

Adam: And yet you cheated on her and began to go out with other girls... What kind of love is that?

Brad: Shut up! I love her,I do. I'm a guy, you know. I'm a jock, I'm famous, I'm chased by all girls in school! So what if I slept with other girls? I'm just being a guy!

Adam: That's no excuse for you hurt her! You had a choice! To simply love her but you chose to walk away. That is when you made your mistake!

Brad: It wasn't easy! I was tempted with all of it. Fame,fortune and girls. That's what guys dream about. How would you know? You're just a Nerd, a geek! You couldn't possibly understand.

Adam: Oh you think I don't but I do. I know it a lot better. How would you know if those people you cal friends are not really your friends? What if they're only hanging out with you coz you're all that? What if those girls don't really like you for what you are? Have you ever thought about that?

Brad: Shut the hell up man! You don't know anything! Now you're going to pay for everything!

With his hands tied, Adam couldn't do anything. So he just have to accept what came to his face, the fists of Bradshaw Morty. Brad punched and kicked him as hard as he could, leaving no mercy behind. Blood was covering Adam's face and body. He was weak. He couldnt do a thing. The last thing he heard was someone calling out to his name. A voice which he finds comfort. It was calling his name.

Molly: Adam! Adam! Are you alright?

Adam: Is that you Molly?

Molly: Oh my God! You're a mess! Look at you! Oh Adam! You could have been killed!

Adam: Huh? What happened? Where's Brad?

Molly: He is not important, you need not think of him. Sam and Lewis told the Principal what happened. So we rushed here.

Adam: Sam and Lewis are okay?

Molly: Of coz they are. Why, you yourself are not well so why would you worried about other people.

Adam: He tried to hurt them. I couldn't let that happen.

Molly: But why didn't you protect yourself?

Adam: They got us from back.

Molly: I knew that. But why didn't you fight back? I know you could, if you wanted to. But you didn't. Why?

Adam: I..err.. wanted some truth from him.

Molly: What truth? He didn't owe you nothing.

Adam: Well.. Yeah, actually he owes you. I wanted to find out why he did you that way.

Molly: In what way?

Adam: I know he's the one who broke your heart. Who made you to lose faith in love. Life is full of questions. So..

Molly: So you got yourself beaten this bad because you wanted some answers for me?

Adam: Yeah.

Molly: Oh Adam! That's the sweetest thing anyone has done for me!

Molly hugged Adam close. She took his head into her chest. She had tears running on her cheek. She then kissed him on his lips.

----------------------------------------------------------

Episode 16: Stupid enough?

Adam: WHAT?! Are you SERIOUS?!





Molly: Well.. yes.





Adam: Care to explain?





Molly: Erm.. Because it was already decided for us.





Adam: What do you mean by 'it was already decided for us'?





Molly: You don't know? Hasn't anyone told you?





Adam: Tell me what?





Molly: My grandfather, Sir Hoggary made a promise to marry his grandchild, me, at the age of 18.





Adam: So? What does that has got to do with all of this?





Molly: It appears to be that somehow our grandparents knew each other. They were best mates in school. And..



Adam: Hold on. So you actually believe in all that?



Molly: What? Believe that they used to be best friends?



Adam: Yeah. Things like that don't really happen in real life. Okay, two friends who were best friends made a deal to ensure their grandchildren marry each other. That's just awkwardly funny. No, Molly. I don't believe you.



Molly: How did you...?



Adam: Molly, I know you were lying.



Molly: Aww.. That's no fun! I was just starting to entertain myself.



Adam: HA. HA! Very funny..



Adam knew such thing won't happen to them. He knew Molly lied So, after revealing her lies, he grinned.



Molly: I might not be your fiance' but I can still do this!



Molly ran up tp Adam and climbed on his back. He almost tripped but he managed to balanced his body.



Adam: You wanna play rough eh?



Adam spinned and spinned until both of them gradually got dizzy and tired. He lost his balance and they both fell on the floor. Their faces were facing each other. Their eyes met.



Molly: You know. The idea of we're getting married is not bad at all. It'd be nice to marry a decent guy like you.



Adam: It'd be super cool to marry a wonderful lady like you.



They smiled and chuckled. They were joking but their joke made them to actually think about it. It was not bad at all. It would be amazing.



Molly: Adam, what would happen if I accidentally fall in love with you?



Adam: What? Is falling for me would be that bad?



Adam was being sarcastic.



Molly: No. Not at all.

They were silent.

Molly: Huh. But it'd be bad if you fall for me though.

Adam: Oh, come on. Why would you say so?

Molly: Adam, you need not be polite with me. Let's be frank here, like we always do. Face it, no guy ever liked me unless they want to get in bed with me.

Adam: Really? Are you sure? Well for me you're not that sexy at all.

Adam tried to comfort Molly.

Molly: Stop it.

Adam: Tell me, have you ever fallen in love before?

Molly: Once.

Adam: Let me guess, he did something terrible and broke your heart? Causing you to lose faith in love?

Molly: Hurm..

Adam: And then came another guy and you gave yourself another chance but again you were dissapointed?

Molly: But how did you know? Did you conduct a research about me?

Adam: From the way you treated me. I knew you are hurt. Your eyes shows. Don't ever give up on love okay? Promise me that. Promise me you won't give up on love.

Molly: Why is that so important?

Adam: Because one day a guy would come into your life and he will be the Guy for you. After that, you're going to realise why it never worked out with anyone else.

Molly: ...

Adam: If you can't promise then I will. I promise you Molly that someday, when you're out shopping or even taking a sip of your coffee then a reckless guy would come in through the door and make a fool on himself. Instantly, you would fall in love with him and he would make yo happy and then you'll understand why it never worked out with anyone else.

Molly: I don't know what to say...

Adam: Don't say anything then.

Adam smiled to that. But it was different for Molly. That incident already happened. It happened exactly like what Adam described. All her memories, she remembered her first encounter with Adam. It happened just like that when she first saw him. She saw him at Fast Coffee House. He accidentally tripped on his way to the counter. He didnt even covered his public humiliation. It was the first of Molly to watch such guy. And then she knew instantly that she had fallen in love with him. But how can she tell him this?

Molly: What if, I have met that person but I am not sure if he's the one?

Adam: You'll never know until you try.

Molly: So you're suggesting that I should try to win his heart?

Adam: You shouldn't try coz if he's the one then his heart is all yours.

Molly: Then what should I try to do?

Adam: Tell him how you really feel.

Molly: And if he rejects it?

Adam: A guy would be stupid enough to do that.

Molly: To reject a bitch like me?

Adam: No. To reject a love that could possibly be the greatest love of his life.

Episode 15: Meet the Grandparents

Madam Lechrin: Adam is bringing a girl to meet us? I hope she's decent.

Sir Lechrin: She'd better be.

The sound of the car approached the parking lot. Both Madam Lechrin and Sir Lechrin could hear footsteps and some laughters from outside. They remained elegant and calm as they always do.

Molly: Wait! Hold on.

Adam: What?

Molly: Stay still.

Adam stayed still.

Molly: There you go. My 'boyfriend' need to look sharp for this important evening.

Adam: Oh, thanks.

Molly made sure that Adam's tux would look neat and tidy. After all, they are meeting his grandparents.

Slowly the door is opened. Madam Lechrin and Sir Lechrin waited anxiously for the guests' arrival. They prepared themselves to criticize their grandson's girlfriend.

Adam and Molly entered.

Madam Lechrin and Sir Lechrin are both speechless.

Madam Lechrin: Oh dear!

Sir Lechrin: Is this true?

Madam Lechrin: Why, aren't you the granddaughter of Sir Hoggary?

She asked Molly.

Molly: Well, yes I am. Very please to meet you. My name is...

Sir Lechrin: Decent! As neat as the Noble Hoggary himself! No need for introduction. We KNOW who you are.

Adam: That's weird. Molly, this is my grandparents. Have you ever met them before?

Molly: Erm... sorry for the impoliteness but I have never officially met both Madam and Sir Lechrin before.

Madam Lechrin: Oh, of course you don't know who we are! We heard about you from Mrs. Hoggary herself.

Adam: Huh?

Adam is at most confused.

Madam Lechrin: Oh! Silly us! Come on in and sit with us. Come on now, don't be shy. Adam, we're dissapointed in you for letting such guest to stand at the doorway for quite a long time. Shame on you!

Adam: What???

Madam Lechrin took Molly's hand and brought her to the living room. Meanwhile, Adam is stopped by Sir Lechrin.

Sir Lechrin: Where did you find her my one and only grandson?

Adam: Well... It's quite complicated...

Sir Lechrin: Oh my grandson! I have never been more proud!

Suddenly Sir Lechrin gave Adam a warm hug he had stopped given to him since he was 5.

Sir Lechrin: Good choice mate! Cheers!

Both Adam's grandparents loved Molly. They asked her many questions about her until she blushed. Adam wondered why his grandparents liked Molly so much. They never approved anything in his life before. They even loved her more than they had ever loved him. He didn't mind that. But he is sad because Molly and him are separated. Sir Lechrin had to leave after the dinner for a business meeting. So, Adam went to the balcony alone.

He gazed at stars but only wondered why his grandparents are acting so weirdly. They didn't like Emma before. Before he could further his thoughts, his hand was touched by cold yet lovely fingers.

Molly: Your Grandmother is watching. Come, and give me a kiss.

Adam looked at his Grandmother and smiled. He then kissed Molly on the cheek. Not the kind of kiss that Molly have been expecting.

Molly: It's cold out here. Why are you all alone?

Adam: Well, it's weird. It's very odd that this is the first time my grandparents actually like someone, besides thier own kin of course.

Molly: Is that thought wandering around your mind right now?

Adam: Pretty much.

Molly: Excuse me but are you jealous?

Adam: Whaaaat?? Why would I be jealous? They can have you whenever they want. It has got nothing to do with me.

Adam blushed. Molly smiled.

Molly: My question was - are you jealous that your grandparents are giving more attention to me than to you tonight?

Adam: Oh, that.. Yeah, I don't really mind.

Madam Lechrin: Oh children, I'm very sorry but I have to excuse myself right now. I've got important things to take care of. I'll accompany you to the door. Adam, do take good care of Molly.

Madam Lechrin then sent them to the door and they rook the ride home.

-----------------------------------------------

They stopped at their favourite place, The Hill. Both of them were lying under the stars on Adam's car.

Molly: Adam, can I ask you something? What would you say if your grandparents have proposed to me?

Adam: Yeah right.

Molly: Well, they actually did. When you excused yourself from the table during dinner just now.

Adam: WHAT???? And what did you say?

Molly: I said yes.

Episode 14: The Necklace

It was Sunday morning. As usual, Molly and her family would go out at the deck near the beach. Her younger brother, Jamie would ride the tricycle. He was 6 years old and she was 9.

They were a happy family. That was before her parents got rich and putting their business over their family. At that time her hair was short, but not too short. It was nice as it fits her cute face. Jamie would cycle his small blue bike around the deck, abandoning his sister and parents. Meanwhile, Molly would always go to the end of the bridge and put her face in betweens the gates.

She would enjoy the sunrise and the smell of the sea. Her parents would first entertain her and stood beside her but then Jamie would always fell down the bike and their parents would rushed to him. She was left alone.

The breeze caught her cheeks. She remembered the necklace her late Grandma gave to her. She held on to it. She took it off and put it on her small palms. She was distracted by her brother's screaming out of pain. And so, she dropped her red necklace and she thought all was at lost.

Then came a little boy with dark brown hair out of nowhere and jumped of the deck. Splash! Molly was a bright girl so she knew the water was too deep and the boy could not have survived that cold deep dark water. She was nervous. She hoped he survived even if the necklace was lost.

A few minutes later, there were bubbles coming to the surface of the ocean. The dark brown haired boy came out of the water, holding her precious necklace. She yelled for help instantly. the parents of the boy came and pulled him out of the sea. They tried to help him stand up but he was balanced enough to stand on his own feet. Shivering, he held out her necklace and gave it to her.

Boy: This must be precious to you.

Molly: Yeah, thanks. But, why?

Before the boy could answer, his parents said it first.

Parents: It was dangerous of you to do that! You could have died Adam!

He chuckles. They were scared and mad but their son's safety is the important thing right now.

Adam: Mom, Dad, I'm sorry. It's just that I lost something to the sea too so it hurts me to see if she suffer from it too. Besides, I'm a good swimmer ayte? You said so yourself.

Molly's parents came as fast they could. They wondered what happened. Some people near the scene came too. It was a miracle that a 9 year old boy swam the sea just to save a girl's necklace.

Adam: Anyway, it's freezing out here. Could you buy treat me to a hot chocolate Mum?

Adam's parents were worried but somehow, they trusted him. He's not an ordinary child, he's a special one. Then Adam's sister finally showed up.

Jane: Adam! I saw you jumped the bridge! You could have been killed!

Quickly she hugged Adam. She was worried too. All of them were until Adam looked unharmed. People started to walk away. Adam's father gave him his jacket to warm him up.

Adam's Dad: Let's go son. We'll get you warmed up!

Molly stopped them.

Molly: Wait! Thank you. This necklace is precious to me. I owe you one.

She cracked open her necklace. It was made to be divided into two.

Molly: This is my way of saying thanks.

Adam took it with a pleasure.

Adam: I promise I'll look after it! Thanks...

Molly remembered what her Grandma told her about the necklace.

Grandma: Hold this necklace close to your heart. It's very special.

Molly: What is so special about it Grandma?

Grandma: Why it's the thing that kep your GrandDad and I together all the time. He gave it to me when we first met.

Molly: But what if someone special came into my life one day Grandma?

Grandma: I'll want you to give the half of it to him. It will bring both of you luck. Until it is separated and again reunited, it is just merely a necklace.

Molly: Why is it so Grandma?

Grandma: Because good things are meant to be shared. If you only keep it to yourself then it wouldn't be something special. It's very contrast from secrets.

So then she knows. Grandma would be happy that another half of the necklace is with that brave boy. Molly hope it will do her good.

-------------------------------------------------------

Episode 13: The Apartment

Adam: You wanna see my apartment?

Molly: Sure thing. But, are you okay?

Adam: I think I can handle it.

Molly: Well, alright then.

Adam: First one to the car gets to drive!

They raced to the parking lot of Molly's house. The finishing line is Adam's Jaguar. Although Adam was fast but Molly fasten up her steps too. She caught up with him at the stairs. She bumped him that his body touched the wall. She smirks at him.

Molly: I'll arrive there first!

She left him upstairs but this will not he allows. He skipped a few stairs but he lost control. He was about to fall when Molly held out her hands to catch him. But he weighed more than her and both of them fell down the floor.

Adam: Fall again.

Molly: Yes.

They laughed out loud. But both knew the race wasn't over yet so when Adam tried to get up,Molly pulled his leg down. They both struggle trying to return to their pace. There were a lot of bumps, knocks and falls during the race but at the end,Molly came first. Claiming the prize promised by Adam. And so, Adam instructed her on where their destination was.

-----------------------------------------------------
They stopped at a pavement of a not-so busy road. Molly got out of the car slowly as she as amazed by the scenery.

She looked up and all that was in front of her was a beautiful apartment, heading the sunset of the boulevard, looking down upon the blue sky.

Molly: This is it?

Adam: Yeah.

Molly: How could you afford so?

Adam: Let's go up and I'll tell.

He opened the gate with a Card-Key. And they stepped into the Lounge where a number of staffs were loitering around, seeking for Lost People. They were greeted by an old man in a red-uniform. The hall is exactly as a Hotel Lounge but it is not.

Mr. Oldman: Welcome sir. It has been a long time since you came back.

Adam: Well, I missed this place. Oh, and I also brought a friend along. This is erm, my girlfriend, Molly. Molly, this is Mr. Oldman, the keeper of my apartment.

Molly: Hello, it is nice to meet you.

Mr. Oldman: Nice to meet you too. Shall I take you to your apartment?

Adam: It's okay. I still remember this place around. Thank you anyway.

Mr. Oldman: Here is your key. Glad to have you back sir.

Adam: Thank you.

------------------------------------------------------

Molly: Is this an apartment or a 5 Star Hotel?

Adam: It's an apartment, witl a little bit of security. My uncle suggested this place to me. I just hope it's still in good shape.

He opened the door of his apartment. He thought it would be dusty and all but it's the exac opposite. The house was sparkling clean. Not even a bit of a thin dust left there. Meanwhile, Molly was amazed by his apartment.

Adam: Mr. Oldman must have been looking after this apartment while I was gone. What a nice man.

Molly: Wow. Did you decorate it all by yourself? Including the arrangement of the furniture?

Adam: Yeah, but I had a little help of course.

Molly was sight-seeing the apartment. It was not like what she imagined. A guy's house is supposed to be messy, plain and simple but he amazed her. It was rather stylish and yet elegant. He has good taste.

Adam: I used to play basketball. And sing. That's where I got my incomes.

Molly: Jane told me you have a great voice but I didn't know you made money out of it.

Adam: Yeah, I didn't know it was in me either until I sang.

Molly: So, what happened?

Adam: Well, things changed. People moved on, so did I.

They went through the photos of Adam on the frames put on the tables and cupboards. The glorious days he had back then. The room was empty of voices. They were still. Suddenly, he asked...

Adam: Wanna see something really awesome? Check this out.

He opened the window that were facing the sunset. It was fantastic. The sun was setting so they had the privilege of seeing it together. Adam leaned on the window and Molly stood besides him.

Molly: This must be the reason why you chose this place.

Adam: Yeah. It brought back memories of old times.

Molly got near him to hold him out. She has always been wanting to hold him so dearly, and this she didn't understand why. Slowly, she slipped her hands through his. A desire then awoken. The desire to be besides him all the time, to hold him so near and never let go.

She whispers...

Molly: I'll never let you go.

Adam was too busy with the view that he didn't hear her.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Molly: May I ask?

Adam: What?

Molly: I have been wondering.. Am I the first girl to actually came here?

Adam: Well,Emma has been here before.

Molly looked quite dissapointed.

Adam: But she haven't came in here yet.

Molly looked at Adam with an exciting eyes.

Adam: Yeah, she always waited downstairs at the Lounge. So, practically...

Molly: I'm the first girl to be here?

Adam: Not exactly.. I mean, both my mum and Jane have been here before.

Molly felt relieved.

Molly: So, there must be a court down nearby am I right?

Adam: How did you know?

Molly: Obviously, you tried to let it go, claiming you're nowhere near it but I saw it through on that night.

Adam: That night? You meant when we actually first met?

Molly: First met? NO. I believe that was our fifth time of encountering.

Adam: The THIRD time? For real? We've met before?

They were preparing dinner at the time. Molly was quite sad when she found out Adam didn't remember they have met before.

-------------------------------------------------------

Episode 12: The Closet

He was falling. Into the deep dark tunnel with no end. He screamed but no one hears. He was about to give up when a hand reached out to him He took it. And...

He woke up. He finds himself neatly tucked into the bed. It has been a long time since he's in that spot. His lovely mother used to do that to him. She used to spoil him too much like he was an only child. Jane didn't mind that because she's was too old for that kind of stuff.

Adam felt like someone was holding on to him so dearly. What's this warm feeling, he asked. On his right hand was another hand. That hand of course didn't belong to him. It is such a gentle one. So soft and comforting. He looked for the owner and found her lying next to him. She was looking at him with her eyes closed. An angel, he thought. Wearing a white night gown, with such tenderness. This must be the owner of the hand of his saviour in his dream earlier. He looked at her dearly. Whne he stumbled upon that familiar face, he screamed. And out of fright, he fell down the bed. The angel that was looking after him woke in surprise out of the scream.

Molly: What?

Adam was in pain. Again,it's his face that paid the price. He rubbed it to make the pain go away. He looked at her in wonder.

Adam: What am I... what am I doing here?

Molly was still sleepy brushed her eyes to gain consciousness.

Molly: I don't know. Last night I found you were sleeping outside my house.

Adam: Really?

He tried to remember. Then it all came back to him. His grandparents cancelled their dinner, he met his ex, Emma, and he was too tired to drive. But what he didn't remember was Molly looking after him until late night. She ensures his body temperature didn't go any higher and kept him warm. She slept somewhere in the middle of that. After a few second, Molly crawled until the other side of the bed and got off the bed. Adam was in terror. He was speechless. His heart was beating faster every step she's getting closer. But all of that was erased when she puts her hand on his forehead, checking his body temperature.

Molly: You're getting better. The fever must have cooled down this morning.

Molly then took off her hand. She then realised the face he was shaping right now. She knew he must have thought she had other intentions upon him. She teased him..

Molly: You didn't think I'd wanted to do something else to you, do you?

Adam: Well, I'm in your room wearing only my inner shirt and my boxer while you're in your sexy white night gown, leaning your body towards mine. How do you think that makes me feel?

Molly: Seduced? Wait! You think I look sexy in this?

He blushed. She wanted to take advantage of this. So she went again and leaned forward her body towards his. She gazed into his eyes, into that blue eyes. She lifted her eyebrows. She puts on a dirty smile. And the distance between their faces were getting closer by the second. Adam leaned backward to avoid her. Making it more fun for her to tease him. He didn't have anywhere else to escape as his body already landed on the floor. She was getting too close to avoid. He then scolded himself for not making a rule for this. He didn't know what to do. A part of him wanted to join her but the other wanted to escape. He then closed his eyes. His face was so funny that it made Molly burst into laughters. Even her elbows got stripped that she loses control. Gravity pulled her to him. But her hands were strong enough to stop the velocity of her body. And she said...

Molly: Boo!

Adam opened his eyes once he heard the laughters. He was a little bit mad but he was okay.

Adam: Oh, you think that was funny?

Molly: Yeah, I...could not stop laughing.

She laughed all the way to her bathroom. She opened the door to tell him...

Molly: Hey, give Jane a call. She must be worried. And, we can still make it to school. Of course the school guard would be at the gate but I can make him to be nice.

Adam: No, thanks. I don't think I want to go to school today.

They were having conversation with Adam in her bedroom and Molly in her bathroom.

Molly: Why not?

Adam: I just.. don't feel like it.

Molly: Okay.

Somehow she understood. She knew it must had something to do with the reason Adam is in her room right now.

Adam: Just, okay? You're not mad?

Molly: Please,who am I to scold you for not going to school? I do that all the time.

Adam: Oh,yeah. Forgot! But wait, why aren't you all these while?

Molly: Oh, it's becuase it'd be weird for my guy to be at school while I'm not and Missie would take advantage out of it. Anyway, there's a fresh new clothes for you in the closet. Go and wear them.

It was odd. As far as Adam know, he didn't left his clothes here before. He opened her huge closet and found out there are four section of the room. three of them belonged to Molly (there's a sign saying 'Molly's'). The other section was labelled with his name on it. He was surprised.

Adam: Hey Molly.

Molly: About the closet?

She came out with her bathrobe on. She was brushing her tooth.

Adam: Uhuh.

Molly: Well, since you'll be crashing here from time to time, I thought I'd buy you some clothes on for situation like this.

Adam: Oh.. Wow! Amazing.

Molly: Well, a girl's gotta do what a girl gotta do. Ouh, before I forgot, when you're free, please come by and put a few of your clothes here. It'd make Missie goes crazy.

Adam: You're wicked!

Molly: I know. Okay,come in here, I want to show you something!

She grabbed Adam by the arm and led him into her bathroom.

Adam: And this too?

She continued to brush her teeth.

Molly: Yeah, here, take your towel.

She passed him a nice white towel which she kept only for him to use.

Adam: Nice! I've gotta do this too at my apartment!

Molly spits out. She looked at him.

Molly: Shut up! You own an apartment? All by yourself?

Adam: Well,yeah.

Molly: No! Wait, you have an apartment and you didn't tell me?

Adam: I thought you didn't want to know...

Molly: Adam! I am so furious at you right now. You know we don't keep secrets! I mean, what am I going to say if I surprisedly found out from Missie that you own an apartment?

Adam: Well,I err...

Molly: No, no! Don't talk to me! I am so mad at you right now!

She pushed him away. He had no choice. He didn't want to hurt her feelings.

Adam: Molly?

Molly still refused to talk to him. To make her listen, he grabbed her by hand. He gazed into her eyes for honesty.

Adam: I didn't tell you this before because.. it has been a long time since I've been to the apartment. Truth be told, I didn't even want to remember about it until now.

Molly was listening.

Adam: You see, before my parents, you know, died, I did something terrible. I said I wanted to move out of the house to be independent. But my parents disapproved. I did it anyway and at the night I was supposed to be in my room, at the night that my parents died, I wasn't there for them.

Adam's face was getting worse. He was about to broke down but Molly placed her hands on his face to make him calm. She shook her hand, indicating he didn't have to say anything more.

Adam: No,let me finish. And, when I think of you and your closet earlier, it reminded me of my apartment down the Spring Lane. Even I was shocked that I still remember that place.

Molly: Hush, hush. It's okay. I'm sorry.

Adam: No, I'm sorry. You're right, if anyone at our school found out about it before you do, I bet that would hurt. So, I'm sorry. No more secrets after this. I promise.

Molly hugged him instead. She smiled thinking that he had opened his heart, little by little to her.
