Adam Leroux
Adam wondered what his woman would be like, and this was way before he was told about the whole arranged marriage thing. He had snobby women under him, gossiping agony aunts, the cat-scratchers, though wasn't sure what type of women he'd fancy. Maybe a rose, was his thoughts, beautiful on the inside, then thornes for when she decided to get feisty, though hoping that he didn't go on her wrong side.
Now as he thought about it, maybe the best woman that could be for Adam, was one that could listen, one that could support him, to be someone who could welcome him home, to make a smile from a frown. It seemed from all he had experienced thus far, it was Akiko that had best fit the bill, even if she was a little young, a little timid, a little quiet, yet she was learning.
Being part of a rich family wasn't easy, and he could understand that. Not only that, but being an only child, not to mention being a female, meant she probably had alot of pampering, to make sure she turned out how her parents' planned. A nice result, yet it meant she needed a strong husband to keep fending for her, so as a result, she would need training. Already he had told her about himself, how he started, how they were alike, and so far his advice has been taken as she had buckled up her courage to speak her mind as he said she should do.
However, when she started to doubt, speaking of real love, and then him asking if how much he has pampered her already wasn't enough. The girl wanted more, and he gave it to her. He asked her to tell him what she wanted and he'll bring to pass and he had, and was speechless ever since he sealed her lips. The only part she played was blossuming her cheeks while Adam was playing the role of a romantic which he didn't do so often. The films helped, but as he stood with her, he couldn't imagine being paired with anyone better.
They'd sent an angel to comfort him and he was sent to help her grow, to finish the work that her parents started. Afterall, as a young lady, you had to be obediant he asked, but when ladies grew, they tended to follow their heart's desire and speak to their hearts' content, and the last thing he wanted was his wife to turn into those in the office, or he would really lose it. He'd test her, to see if she desired him to be with her, as he turned his cheek and spoke words in order to bring forth a reaction.
That reaction, was a peck on his cheek, no doubt taking his advice since she was speechless and instead performed an action instead, before he heard her speak again, "You're perfect...". Adam turned back to face her as she smiled at him. Despite her face being bright red, she still shone her smile and weren't hiding it, which that in itself, made him smile inside. However, if she thought she would win him over with a small peck, in which case she would probably be right since he still felt warm from it, then she had to do more. After she told him how perfect he was, he then smirked, "Well, I could of told you that", in which his smile appeared.
Afterwhich, he then asked, "But....how perfect am I to you?", before comparing himself to one of the sweetest berries ever, "A cherry is a perfect red, yet it does not last very long.....so how long do you want this cherry for, my sweet little flower?", he asked, closing the gap between them, before pouting his lips. They were indeed meeting for the first time and so far, the meeting went well, and despite his own doubts at the start and Akiko's own doubts, he strangely felt himself being pulled in. He could imagine coming home miserable from work, and then all the miseries of work disappear when she came to him. Yes his original intentions was about doing his fathers' will, the same thing she also doubted, but now as his feelings grew, he wondered if she would return them, if she would step up to the mark, to be the wife of Adam Leroux......
