Eighteen Again: The CEO's Wife was a Delinquent

It took all of them a moment to get what Adrian was trying to say.

Having been the one who got it first, Charles fell silent and turned bright red. Olivia, on the other hand, was confused until she saw him blushing and realized what Adrian meant, making her blush as well. Edward observed how they started acting awkward from that moment on, thinking that they really could not get any more obvious than this. 

Cassidy didn't have a chance to say anything since Adrian already pulled her far enough from them. Instead, she just sighed as she turned to look at him.

"Why did you say that? Poor Charlie," Cassidy huffed and pouted, taking pity on Charles. 

"I didn't really mean it..." Adrian said with a shrug. 

"Or maybe I did? I just thought that they'd been getting close lately. The thing is, ever since Irish went to study abroad, Olivia had been lonely. She dealt with most of the mess in our family that Edward and I couldn't handle because of work. Then, before I realized it, Charles started spending time with her even more than ever. Perhaps, I just wanted to comment on that. I had kept silent until now, you know."

"So, you're a tease now?"

"Being my secretary's wingman is a better term, my dear."

Cassidy lets out a laugh right at the same time her stomach lets out a rumble. Adrian seemed to have not noticed it as he only continued staring ahead. She decided to look around the food stalls, trying to find something to eat. It took her a bit while to find a stand that caught her attention.

With that, she let go of his hand and walked to it. She took a look on the menu, and after giving it much thought, she asked for a candy apple that was dripped in caramel and sprinkles. The vendor handed it to her, but before she had a chance to pull out her purse, her husband got there.

"I'll pay for it," Adrian chimed in from behind Cassidy, giving her a smile as she turned around to look at him.

He then reached into his pocket and pulled out some money. The vendor was taken aback when he paid thrice the amount, but he only nodded and did not ask for the change. He then looked back at his wife, expression soft and tender. 

"You should have told me you were hungry. Tonight is supposed to be my turn to treat you, remember?" Adrian reminded Cassidy to which she only giggled in return. 

"Sure, sure. I'll keep that in mind, bossman."

The couple then began to walk again, admiring the scenery that comes into view. She takes a bite of her candy apple, brightening up as she realizes how sweet and delicious it is. Delighted, she held it out to her husband.

"Do you want some, Adrian?"

Cassidy was surprised to see Adrian nod without a second thought. He halted on his tracks and leaned down to take a bite. As he did so, he stared at her straight in the eye. He then lifted his head and gave her a kiss on the lips out of nowhere, making her blush.

Adrian pulled apart from Cassidy a moment after, smirking and touching his lips with his fingers.

"That candy apple was good, but..." he quipped, voice smoky and seductive. 

"You taste a lot better."

"Adrian! Don't you start with that!" she bolted out with a pout as she playfully punched him in the arm.

He laughed at that before he went and grabbed her by the waist, restraining her from any movement. Smiling, he then leaned his head on her shoulder before he gave her another kiss on the cheek. She couldn't help but blush harder right then, even more so when she thought that she was starting to turn redder than the candy apple she was holding.

"Adrian..." Cassidy whispered.

"Everyone is staring at us. This is embarrassing."

"I don't care," Adrian said before he took a proper look at her once more.

Craving for more, he leaned down again and pulled her closer for a passionate kiss. 

She could feel his warmth travel throughout her body, her heart pounding loudly as he deepened the kiss more and more. Her breath was knocked out of her - he never fails to steal it away from her. Even then, she still manged to place her hands on his cheeks. Her cold fingers went numb at the touch of his skin, making her become more aware of what he was doing to her.

If she could, she would stay that way forever.

Pulling apart slowly, Cassidy looked at Adrian again. She smiled at him before she cast down her gaze and lowered her head sheepishly. Taking a small bite from her candy apple, she tried to catch her breath again. Her heart was still hammering against her chest - she was afraid it would break right out of there.

While Cassidy is trying to recover, Adrian only keeps staring at her dreamily.

"Cassidy..." he then whispered as he rested his forehead on hers and shut his eyes closed. 

"You're simply amazing. You're perfect in every way. I love you."

"And I love you too," she told him, pleased with herself when she made him blush this time.

"Being here with you just seems too good to be true. I feel like I'm dreaming. I'm so happy that it scares me."

"You still think you don't deserve any of this?"

"I never deserve you. That's why I'm afraid."

"Well, don't be. I'm not going anywhere."

At that, Adrian smiled to himself, thinking that he wouldn't let Cassidy go this time around anyway. 

She gave him a peck on his cheek before she pulled away from him and approached one of the rides. Leaning against the handrails, she then began to eat her candy apple again.

She watched some children go 'round and 'round on a train ride, grinning brightly and waving happily at their guardians who were standing nearby. It's a wonderful sight to behold, and though she had no memories of doing something similar with her parents back then, it's enough to make her smile. She may not have a great childhood, but she did meet some great people. 

Someday soon, Cassidy would experience something like this - once she created a family with Adrian, that is.
