Seducing The Ice Queen

It was all Apollo's fault. As K felt his body breaking with pain, he cursed Apollo for being their strict dance leader since their debut and now the result was that they were given more and more difficult and back breaking dance choreographies as their fans expected more and more!! He was pretty sure, he was going to collapse! He was a singer and lyricist! Why did he have to do this dance? Because of Apollo! (Apollo: And naturally you did not want to make an excellent group! Who was the one who insisted that I be strict?)  Only the thought of going back home to his Alice kept him going! They were going to part for a while and even if it was a little while, he did not want a second to be wasted. Finally, after dancing for the hundredth time, he decided this was enough and breathing hard, walked to the table.

Picking up the towel, he soaked at the sweat as his mind wandered to what his Alice must be doing. She must be at work, still.. Maybe he should call her and ask. Throwing away the towel into the laundry basket, he sipped at his water bottle thirstily, while picking up his phone to call Alice. It was at this point that he noticed that there was a message from Alice. 

Not expecting much, he continued to drink the water as he clicked on the video icon.

"Phoooooosssshh" (Author: So sorry! That was the only way I could think of water being spit out. ;) )

"Cough Cough."

The water bottle silently fell to the ground and Adam continued to blink even as the small thirty second video came to an end. The first thought in his mind was, "What did I just see?" His lips formed a circle and he continued to stare down at his phone as if it was an unknown being. As if slow motion, he used the index finger of his other hand and carefully pressed the triangular icon again as well as the side button to increase the phone's volume before he finally accepted that this was not a dream. It was a real live video even if there was no sound to it!

Falling on his aching bu**, he held the phone with both hands and once again pressed play continuing to stare at the screen with wide eyes.

Slowly his face changed from shocked to disbelieving to happiness and then to sappy and cute as he placed the phone in front of him and continued to watch the video on repeat. He watched as Alice first came onto the screen and made a small finger heart as she mouthed the word "I" And then she made a bigger heart with her arms over her head and uttered 'love' and then a small heart with her palms and fingers joint as she brought them closer to the screen and pointed 'you' before throwing a flying kiss his way.. He wanted to keep watching it on loop ad so he did with a face full of sappiness and euphoria.

Inside the screen room, Alice had a similar expression on her face. It was a good thing that she had convinced and bribed the others away and there was no one who would watch her Adam like this! And she must pat herself on the back that she had not simply sent the video but also come here to see him. She was going to cherish this moment forever and ever! But now was the time to tell him this! She had intentionally not recorded a sound, because even though she had wanted confess she did not want her first time to be like this!

But what she had not expected was this reaction. She had actually assumed that he would call her back when he saw the video but he was instead only sitting and watching it! Well she wanted to tell him face to face now! Picking up her phone, she dialed Adam's number and watched him frown as the video was interrupted and then he the frown disappeared as he noticed that it was her.

Smiling from ear to ear, he spoke into the phone," Alice! Babe! I was just practicing. I will call you back soon!"

"Liar! You call sitting in front of the phone as practicing? Let me call Apollo and tell him!"

Adam almost dropped the phone from his hand and looked towards the door of the studio but it remained firmly closed. Chuckling, Alice stared at him through the screen and said, "Well, I am not there, you know. I can guess your reactions."

But then the next moment, Adam's gaze turned towards the camera and Alice's heart skipped a beat. His gaze was just too intense. The next minute, he stood up and raced out of the door. Realizing that he was coming to her, she rubbed her hands and turned her face towards the door, waiting for him. Breaking the speed records, Adam ran down the stairs within a minute and banged open the door to the security room. Seeing his mischievous wife sitting there with a grin on her face, he ran to her caught her wrist and rand back towards the door, before she could even say, "What?" 

As the two people ran around the now silent building, Alice could not help but wonder where he was taking her, until he finally pushed open a door on the side and she found herself in a room full of steel lockers. Pushing her against the door, he panted hard and leaned in close, whispering," There are no cameras here."

Alice could only look at his lips and nod while he scanned her face for her expression. Dropping a quick peck on her tempting lips, he spoke in a hushed tone, "Tell me Alice.."

But now that the time for confession had come, Alice felt bashful and tried to pretend ignorance, "Tell you what?"

"You know what!" Adam said. 

"Well, I don't know what!"

"Alice! Please. I have waited for so long." he sighed.

"I thought we could go out for a nice romantic dinner and then I will tell you. A locker room is really not the most ideal place..", Alice tried to buy time. But Adam was not having this. He had been so patient throughout and yet with just a small video from her, his patience had come to an end.

Pushing closer to her, he sealed her lips in a demanding kiss, shocking Alice before he buried his face in the crook of her neck and breathed hard," I don't think I can wait any longer Alice.. I have waited for so long."

The look in his eyes made Alice realized the truth of his words. Yes. He had waited to hear them as much as she had waited to say them.

Bringing her hand up to his face, she cupped his cheeks and finally said the words that had been in her heart for almost as long as she had known him," Adam Parry I love you."

The joy on his face was unparalleled as he tried to lean in close to her and express his joy to her but she stopped him so that he ended up kissing her palm.

"Adam Parry, I love you for the way you look at me. I love you for your patience with me. I love you for your goofiness which always makes me laugh. I love you for all the little things you do for me without me knowing. I love you when you sing. I love you when you get jealous! I love you when frown. I love you when you are with me. And I love you when you are not."

"Adam Parry. Thank you for being here with me. Thank you for breaking down my walls and planting yourself firmly in my heart. Without you I would have been lost in a winter land, lost and all alone! Adam, I love you now, always and forever."

Adam smiled against her palm as his heart felt full and slowly kissed her palm and then held her cold hands in his," I love you Alice. Thank you for opening your heart to me. And I promise you that I will always love you and cherish the love you have offered me!"

The next moment, their lips met in gentle repeated kisses as both of them expressed the joys in their hearts. 

Only now that she had let Adam know what was in her heart, did a feeling of security settle in. All the anxiety and panic that she had been facing of separating from him came to an end and she let him hold her heart unconditionally the way he had let her. 

As the two people came up for air, Alice opened her eyes slowly and once again whispered the words, " I love you, Adam. I love you with all my heart..."
