Ding-dong—the doorbell rang, and Adrian quickly walked over to open the apartment door. Then, without letting the lady outside, dressed in a shirt, a miniskirt, and sunglasses, holding a purse, speak, he pulled her into his arms and blocked her lips right at the doorway. The lady struggled for a moment before becoming compliant, extending her tongue to entangle with his.
"Oh, Nata, you have no idea how much I've missed you." After finally letting her go, Adrian smacked his lips, half savoring and half sighing.
Natalie didn't reply. Instead, she walked straight in, set her purse down, then turned around under the somewhat dim lighting to look at Adrian.
Adrian laughed softly, closed the door, turned on a few more lights to make the living room distinctly brighter, and then went over to wrap his arms around Natalie's waist. Following her surprised yelp, he scooped her up and sat her down on the sofa.
