The Comeback (book 1 of the Miller family) Chapter 7
Seeing Adam once again after twelve years, I still found it hard to believe that he still looked like a real-life model. And I felt my body once again heating up with old flames I knew only he would be able to extinguish. And it wasn’t just his broad shoulders or the dimple on his right cheek when he grinned playfully, it wasn’t the way he smelled of cologne mixed with his personal male scent. For me, it was his eyes. It had always been his eyes. The way they seemed to stare into my soul, those deep dark browns. And as I now looked up and looked into them again, they were just as transfixing as all those years ago.Yup, I’m done foronce again…Darn, you, Jenna!What is it with this man that you can’t seem to shake off?“You know, Jenna. If you were a vegetable, you’d be a cute cumber.” Adam told me with a mischievous smile.“Really

Jenna’s P.O.V. in 2010“Are you ready?” Renee asked me, to which I groaned.“I can’t believe you made me come here in the first place.” I sighed, looking out of my car to the house where the party was being held. A party that the popular cheerleader Rachel had organized. Sure, it had just been the news that had spread through the entire school, basically telling everyone to come, I just knew that once Rachel would see me in person, she would kick me out of her house. The girl was awful and a bully. I hadn’t even wanted to come here, that was until Renee had begged me to come along with her, and since I still owed her one, here I was, forced to go to a party I didn’t want to attend in the first place.“It will be fine. Besides, every handsome boy will be here.” She grinned widely at me.“Handsome boys that don’t even talk to us.” I threw back at her. To which Renee

Jenna’s P.O.V. in 2010“I’ve seen him around in school.” I nodded in response because I had. I just didn’t get the goosebumps and fluttering butterflies in my stomach like I would get from Adam.“He’s an asshole though. He has his whole life figured out for him already.” Adam told me, a bit of anger in his voice as he spoke about his younger brother.“While I don’t even know what to do with my life. I mean, if I don’t get a scholarship to play rugby somewhere, I wouldn’t know what to do with my life, honestly. I mean, my backup plan is to join the army, but my mom doesn’t want to hear about any of that. But I mean… you know moms.” He laughed, to which I pressed my lips into a thin line.No… I don’tI don’t know ‘moms’Mine left me at the front door of my uncle’s house

Adam’s P.O.V.Shit…That had been the initial thought that went through my head.But let’s step back a couple of minutes. My day had initially gone by pretty normal as of yet. Christmas break was over and we were stepping back into reality, which consisted of me working during the day and playing dad once the High school alarm would signal the end of my working day. And today, the first day back in school after Christmas break, we were all -teachers and students- expected to gather in the school’s auditorium for the principal’s New Year’s speech. I had been patiently awaiting the principal’s speech about the school’s upcoming projects this year. But once the man had started to speak, my mind started to wander, still being captivated by blurry memories of the gorgeous woman I had met at the New Year’s Eve party. Still trying to wrap my mind around the ‘why’ I had ended up with wine in my

“Thank you all, for the warm welcome,” Jenna began to speak, her voice clear and confident and sweet and a whole lot of sexy… God, I wanted to hear her say my name, no scratch that, I wanted to hear her moan my name.“I am very excited to be a part of this project and to bring a new vision to the construction of the school’s library. Together, we will create a space that fosters creativity, knowledge, and community.” She spoke, having the attention of everyone in the room. God… she would have been an amazing teacher herself. She sure as shit had my full attention when she spoke. This was also why, as soon as the principal ended his list of things to talk about and told the students to get back to their classes immediately, I found myself drifting over towards her, Agatha’s words still fresh in my mind and my wolf Canin begging me to talk to her and mark her.“Jenna,” I called out her name out l

Jenna’s P.O.V.Why am I doing this?Why do I keep tormenting myself like this?Why on earth can’t I say no to the man?I sighed deeply, walking out of the school building after my sit down with the principal before the alarm would signal the end of the school day. I still had a couple of minutes to collect myself and prepare myself for something I had believed to never happen in my life. Go on a date with Adam freaking Miller… sort of date, at least.I walked down the street in the direction of Marley’s, Fairview’s very own very small coffee shop. My heart pounding in my chest with every step that I took closer to the place. I couldn’t ignore the nerves soaring through my body right now. Meeting up with Adam for coffee was a step I had taken with a specific purpose in mind, which was to finally let go of my lingering crush and move on from that man.

“So… you do the school’s library, and then you’re gone again?” He asked me, looking back up into my eyes, taking my breath away with the intensity in his dark eyes.“I don’t know yet,” I admitted as I shook my head, seeing Adam swallow as his Adam’s apple bobbed. God… I wanted to lick up his throat.No!Stop it, Jenna,Bad Jenna!“Do you still play rugby these days?” I asked him, trying to steer clear of the subject of my future or my thoughts of licking him. Adam instead shook his head, pressing his lips into a thin line.“Nah, I coach the team now,” He answered me, making me smile.“You were always a good leader,” I told him, seeing his eyebrows rise up playfully.“So you do remember me from back in High school?” He asked me, sounding flattered by that knowledge.“

Adam’s P.O.V.I watched Jenna as she stormed out of the coffee shop like a hurricane. Her half-filled latte still standing in front of me.Shit… I had tried to ignore the signs she was sending me ever since I had walked into the coffee shop. I had tried to deny seeing her cheeks redden whenever I would give her some sort of compliment, I wanted her to make decisions. I wanted for her to be independent and strong like she had been on stage giving her speech earlier today, but instead, she kept giving me the impression that if every decision that there was to make, her answer or opinion would never be good enough if she would decide it. As if she found herself to benot good enoughin general. And I wondered why, because clearly, she wasn’t only the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, she was also witty and smart, smarter than me probably. And yet, she was sitting across from me looking timid like a scared litt
