We Could Be Something

80: I Can’t Wait

Wrinkling her nose a little, Adriana peeked one of her blue eyes open, her ears doused by the sound of the alarm clock which stood on the end table. It was early, one look around the room told Adriana that is was earlier than she was usually awake, but part of her didn’t mind being woken up a little early, even if she was comfortable beneath the duvet, she was a little excited by the idea of waking up beside Iker.

It had been a good night, after their conversation, they’d spent a little while curled up in from the television before they’d retired to bed, and Adriana had to admit that she was pleased by how things had gone, even if she was still a little uncertain about the idea of moving, she was confident that it would be the right decision in the long run.

“Are you awake?”

Adriana, who’d drifted off slightly, startled a little at the sound of Iker’s voice, something which made him chuckle a little. “I didn’t mean to startle you” he noted softly.

Adriana turned over to face him before she shook her head, offering him a small smile. “It’s Ok” she noted softly “Bom dia” she added, moving to press a light kiss against his cheek.

Iker smiled a little at the feel of her lips against her cheek before he shifted his arm, gently wrapping it around her waist. “Buenos dias” he mumbled softly.

Adriana cuddled into his side for a couple of seconds before she tilted her head, peeking up at him softly. “Do you have to leave early?” she posed, breaking the comfortable silence which had settled around them. She knew that it was a little silly, even despite the fact that they had been on a break, she and Iker had still seen one another frequently, but she wanted him to stick around for a little longer, even if they had spent a lot of time together, she wanted to enjoy spending time with him for a little while longer.

Iker, who’d been quietly staring up at the ceiling, tilted his head a little. “You want me to stick around?” he posed, a teasing grin on his face.

Adriana rolled her eyes playfully, something which made him chuckle slightly before he ducked down, pressing a soft kiss against the side of her head. “I’ve not got training until this afternoon” he noted softly “So, if you wanted to, I am sure that we could go and get some breakfast before we went out baby shopping. I am sure bump would love a few new things” he added, his hand gently settling on top of her bump.

Adriana spared a small glance down towards his hand before she shook her head, a soft smile playing at the corner of her mouth. “I think that that sounds like a plan” she mused softly.

Iker offered her another soft smile before he ducked down, pressing a light kiss against her bump before he pushed himself back to his feet, mumbling about needing to take a shower.

Adriana watched him out of the room for a couple of seconds before she shook her head. She knew that it was going to take a little work, the prospect of moving abroad with a toddler and a newborn was something which was going to take a little adaptation, but she was confident that it was the right decision, even if she was still a little nervous, she was confident that somehow, she and Iker would figure it out.

“Are you sure that you don’t want to just head home?” Iker posed as he pushed the door to another shop open, his dark eyes watching as Adriana steered Olivia’s pushchair ahead of him. It had been a good morning, after they’d had breakfast, they’d spent a couple of hours browsing in shops, and whilst things were still a little awkward, Iker had to admit that he had enjoyed himself.

Adriana, who’d moved to step through the door, shook her head. “This is the last one” she noted softly “We’ll be 10 minutes tops and then I will go home and rest” she added, offering him an impish grin.

Iker offered her a slightly dubious look, wordlessly asking if she was sure, before he nodded his head. “OK” he agreed softly.

Adriana spared him another impish smile before she padded through the store, stopping beside a rail of baby clothes.

Iker watched her for a couple of seconds, admiring the look on her face, before he shook his head, a small smile playing at the corner of his mouth. “Are you excited yet?” he posed softly. It wasn’t something that they’d talked about a lot, with Adriana having opted to take a break from their relationship, a lot of their focus had been settled on figuring out what they wanted to do about them, but Iker wanted to switch their focus, wanting to enjoy the few weeks they had before the baby was due to arrive.

Adriana, who’d been flicking through the rail of clothes, quirked a small smile before she nodded her head. “I am pretty excited” she noted softly “I mean, having both Olivia and bump around is going to take some getting used to, but I can’t wait to meet them” she added, her hand gently brushing over the front of her shirt.

Iker watched the movement of her hand before he stepped towards her, resting his hand on top of hers. “I can’t wait to meet them either” he mused, offering her a soft smile.

Adriana’s cheeks warmed a little before she pushed herself up onto her toes, pressing a soft kiss against his lips. “I know we still have a lot to talk about” she mumbled as she ducked away from him “But do you think that, for a little while, we can just focus on preparing for bump?” she posed, chewing on her the side of her lip softly. She knew that it couldn’t be avoided forever, even if she had agreed to go with him, they still had a lot to talk about, but she wanted to put it off for a little while. She wanted to enjoy the build up to the arrival of the baby.

Iker, who’d flicked his attention towards her bump, mulled her words over for a couple of seconds before he nodded his head. “I think that we can do that” he confirmed softly “But you know that we have to talk eventually, don’t you?” he posed.

“I know that” Adriana agreed softly “But I want to enjoy the next few weeks. We’re going to have a baby, Iker” she added, offering him an impish grin.

Iker rolled his eyes a little before he pressed another kiss against her lips, glad that things were getting better between the two of them.
