“I made a few adjustments to the typical fireworks powder.”
Too afraid to whip my eyes off the sky, I yell at Adam, “Is this legal?”
“Ehem. Not exactly.”
My mouth opens with laughter and then it fades into gasps of awe as I watch the sparkles light up in perfect shapes.
N-O-V-A
When it’s over, I turn to Adam who looks uncharacteristically somber. I thought he’d be bursting with pride and teasing me about how awesome he is.
“Adam?”
He blinks and seems to come back to himself. A mischievous grin spreads across his face, replacing the previous expression.
“You like it?”
“When did you have time to makefireworks?”
“I did it a few years ago.”
“Years?”
He shrugs. “I’ve been waiting a really long time for you, Nova.”
Is there a way I can fuse my lips to his and still live my daily life? Maybe he can invent something that’ll allow me to walk around, always holding onto his hand. Heck, I’d go to one of those magicians and get myself handcuffed to this man at this point.
“Today was amazing, Adam. And the fireworks were gorgeous.”
He grazes his knuckles over my cheek. “How about the guy who did the fireworks?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t see who you hired to set them off. Maybe he’s cute…?”
Adam attacks my stomach with his fingers.
I burst out laughing. “Adam!”
He keeps tickling. “You think you’re funny?”
I push at his hands, laughing and trying to squirm away. Eventually, Adam stops and slides his hands over my waist, hugging me from behind.
“Fine,” I admit. “You’re not so hard on the eyes.”
He lifts me off the ground and spins me toward the porch. “What do you think about the swing?”
“I love it.”
“You sure?”
“Yes?”
“Absolutely sure?”
I nod.
“Let’s just confirm that.”
He lifts me and carries me up the back steps. The chains holding the swing rattle when we both fall into it.
