The Last Embrace
/ The Last Embrace 425 I Won't Share My Bed!
He saw Jessy lying in the bed wearing a dismal look in her face.
She stared at her boyfriend, her face broke into a sweet smile. "There you are!"
"Yep, I'm here to see you before I will join my brother inside his prison room. Do you have any last message for me, my love?" he asked.
Jessy rose from the bed and leaped into Adam's arms. "I'm going to miss you terribly!" she declared in a broken voice, her eyes welled up. She's getting emotional at this very moment of their parting.
Adam hugged his girlfriend tight, rubbing her back gently. "Shhh...don't be sad Jess...this is not goodbye. I just need to fix the fractured relationship I have with my brother. After I succeeded and you are finally free from your marriage vow to him, I will marry you. So, please wait for me. Don't cry... always remember that I love you so much," he whispered into her ears passionately.
"I love you too!" Jessy replied. Her face contorted in pain, feeling the impact of sadness squeezing her heart.
Adam smiled. "Just think... that I'm inside the Facility. I'm here never too far away from you," he said.
"So near... yet so far," she murmured painfully.
Adam kissed her lips. "If I can escape my brother's watchful eyes, I will visit you here in your room even for a few minutes. Would that be good enough for you?"
Jessy gazed at Adam's eyes, smiling brightly at him. "That is so much better. Please do it more often! Make it five times per week, pleaseee..." she begged.
Adam sighed. "I can't promise you much, Jess. So please don't raise your hope high or else you will only get disappointed, okay?"
Jessy breathed deeply, she felt disappointed with his lack of commitment to see her often. Nevertheless, she doesn't want to insist and argue with him, now that they were about to enter a crucial stage in their relationship. She can't blame Adam, he just wants to speed up the process in obtaining her freedom from Zain. That is why Adam had to make a sacrifice, it's a two-way win for Adam if Zain will finally let her go. If Adam can make a sacrifice for Zain and her, then why can't she do the same? Anyways, it's just two years of waiting and after that, they will be together again, forever.
She looked into his eyes adoringly. "I'm willing to wait for you for how long it takes, and thank you so much for making this sacrifice for me."
"I will do anything for you, Jess. Anything that can make you happy, I will do it in a heartbeat," he said, his eyes were glowing with so much love for her.
"I'm going to miss you so much!" suddenly she broke down, the flood of tears cascaded down her face. She hugged him tightly not wanting to let him go.
A few minutes later.
"Go now! Before I will cry a river and I will change my mind," she said and shoved him lightly towards the door.
Adam went back to her side, he embraced her, then he lowered his mouth into hers for a goodbye kiss.
Jessy oped her mouth, eager to receive his kiss.
As seconds pass by, the light kiss between them deepens, they find themselves kissing each other's mouth passionately.
Thirty minutes later.
Adam reluctantly ended their parting kiss. "Bye, for now, Jess. I love you!" he planted a quick kiss on her forehead. "I will go now..."
Adam disappeared from the room.
Jessy fixed her stare at the area where Adam stood earlier.
He's finally gone to join his brother in the prison room.
She touched her swollen lips, she already misses his kisses and hugs. She can't stand the deafening silence flooding the room. She'd rather spend her time in the clinic, even do she will just be brooding in there, but at least, she's productive.
She entered the bathroom and splashes water on her face, then wiped it dry with the towel.
Done cleaning her tear-stained face, Jessy exited the door going back to the clinic.
...
Adam arrived in his brother's prison room holding one bag full of his essentials.
"I'm here now, brother!" Adam announced cheerfully.
Zain was surprised to see his younger brother inside his room, he stared at the bag on the floor. "What is that—?"
"Ah, this one? This is my bag which contains my clothes and other personal stuff. Beginning today, I will be your roommate. I will start my two years journey here inside this room. I will be spending my time with you every day because this is my way of proving to you that I'm serious in honoring our agreement," he said with unwavering determination in his eyes.
Zain chuckled in amusement. "Let see, how long you can survive here..." he said, smirking.
"Let's find out then..." Adam shrugged his shoulders and went to the closet. He opened the bag and began arranging his clothes neatly inside the vacant space.
"You're a fool! Wasting your life here inside this room," Zain grinned.
"I'm on vacation here, brother. So, I might as well enjoy the view," Adam joked.
Zain's brows furrowed. "Are you serious about doing this? Is this your way of showing to me how much you love, Jessy? That is why you're willing to sacrifice your freedom for her?" he snorted.
Adam turned around and looked at his brother intensely in the eyes. " Yes, I have to admit that I'm partly doing it for her so that she can obtain her freedom. But...importantly... I'm doing it for you," he said.
Zain's eyes glinted, he glanced up to the ceiling. "What do you mean—?"
Adam took a deep breath. "I'm waiting for the day that I will see my old brother again," he said wistfully.
A burst of cynical laughter exploded in Zain's face. "Whatever! Suit yourself and good luck trying. And one more thing... you will sleep on the floor!" he said in a mocking tone.
"No problem, brother, I'm okay with that," Adam smirked and sat down on the corner.
Zain lies down on the bed and focused his gaze on the wall, totally ignoring his brother on the process.
Adam inspected the room. It has a more or less 30 square foot floor area. He won't be bored in this room because he brought his laptop with him, he downloaded it with lot's of movies, along with his addicting game console... and a lot more. He also brought with him game cards, so that they can play together.
One hour of silence passed by.
Zain didn't bother answering his brother's questions and continuously ignored his attempt of establishing a decent conversation. He was adamant in giving him a cold shoulder.
Thirty minutes later.
Princess Abigail arrived into the room accompanied by the guard, the flavorful aroma of the dishes filled the room. The mouthwatering dishes were arranged appetizingly in the food tray. "Dinner is ready!" she said aloud.
Zain turned his head towards the food and his face brightened up after seeing his favorites dishes. "Thanks, sister!" he said buoyantly.
The guard placed the food tray in the table and exited the room.
Princess Abigail placed the foods on the table. "Brothers, come to the table now and start eating! I especially brought these delicious foods for you..." she said, pleased with herself.
"Thank you, sis!" Adam said.
Zain and Adam sat on the chairs facing the table and began eating their evening meal in silence.
Princess Abigail inspected the bed, it's not big enough for two grown-up men to sleep with. "Bro Adam, where are you going to sleep?" she asked.
"On the floor. I'm not going to share my bed with him," Zain answered immediately.
Princess Abigail and Adam looked at each other.
She hides her bemusement in her eyes. "Don't worry bro, I will return later to bring you a super single foam mattress so that you won't catch cold sleeping in the floor," she offered, graciously.
She was expecting Zain's protest that never comes. Her mother told her to spy on her brothers' activities inside the room and report to her everything.
She looked at her two brothers adoringly. Moments like this are rare, they seldom spend bonding moments together as siblings when they were growing up. Now that they finally have this moment, she will savor it and store this precious moment in her heart.
One hour later, Adam and Zain were done eating.
Adam helped put back the utensils in the food tray and watched his sister exits the door.
Zain went back to the bed.
While Adam sat on the floor, there's no internet inside the Facility, but there's a lot of Android games that can be played offline. He smirked and went to the closet to get his android phone.
Five hours later.
Princess Abigail came back into the room, the guard was behind her carrying a foam mattress on his shoulder.
"Thank you, guys!" Adam thanks the guard and his sister.
The guard gently lowered the foam mattress into the floor and exited the room.
"Thank you, sis!" Adam smiled gratefully at his sister.
Princes Abigail smiled back. "I'll take my leave now. Goodnight brothers, don't fight, okay—?" she imitated her mother's authoritative glare, but no effect on his brothers.
"Goodnight, sis!" Adam and Zain both uttered the word at the same time.
Princess Abigail smiled brightly and left the room.
She hurriedly went back to the study room because her mother and father are waiting for her news.
