Chapter 45: I Missed You So Much
"You have made me the happiest man alive right now sweetheart." Adam said, kissing her hand once again.
Adam brought her back to the table. After making her sit down, he went around the table, settling down in his own chair.
Soon a waiter came to serve them their desserts. A crystal cup was placed before Stella, her eyes widened looking at the pineapple flavoured ice cream rolls placed in it. They were garnished with chopped pineapple chunks.
"How do you know about my favorite ice cream flavor?" She looked at Adam with her baffled expression.
"Just like I know about your ring size." He replied with a smug look on his face as he took a bite from his dark chocolate flavored ice cream rolls.
"And how do you know about that?" Stella asked him. 'No wonder the ring fit perfectly.' She thought.
"I have my ways." Adam gave her charming smile only to get an eye roll from her.
They ate the rest of their desserts in silence. Once they were done, they headed back outside but as soon as they were out of the canopy like hut, Adam stopped in his tracks.
"Wait for a moment." He turned around and headed back as Stella waited for him, standing in the same spot.
Out of nowhere, a long stemmed red rose appeared before her eyes. "I forgot this." A deep cello voice reverberated next to her ear as an arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her against a sturdy chest.
She turned her face towards her shoulder as she felt it weighing down only to find Adam resting his face on it.
"This one's for the beautiful lady here." He spoke up again, pressing a kiss on her bare shoulder.
"Thank you." She accepted the rose after thanking him.
"Let's go." He spoke up, guiding her out, his hand placed at her lower back, his thumb caressing her exposed skin every now and then.
At the entrance, instead of the Maybach that she arrived in, a black Maserati was parked.
Adam opened the passenger door for her,he helped her settle in, making sure she wouldn't bump her head. He helped her put on the seatbelt and then made his way to the driver seat.
-----------------------
Stella opened the door of her room while Adam stood beside her.
"Thank you so much for today." She thanked him once again.
Adam gave her a pout in return. "Is this how you thank someone?"
Stella furrowed her eyebrows at his remark.
"I know just the way you can thank me." He said, grabbing her arm and pushing her against the wall.
Before Stella could register what was happening to her, his lips found hers.
As Adam sucked on her lips, his one hand angled her face while the other traced over her exposed spine softly, sending sparks throughout her body.
His hand that was cupping her face moved down at a torturously slow pace, tracing her neckline.
Stella tried to control herself but a low moan escaped from her mouth bringing a smirk on his face. He liked the fact that her body responded to his touch.
His lips traced down to her neck, peppering kisses till her soft spot. He sucked on it hard, earning another moan from her.
He drew his lips back after a while, "Now, that's a proper thank you."
Hearing his shameless comment, Stella's already flushed face turned more red.
"Though I want to spend more time with you sweetheart, you should get to bed now since we have office tomorrow." He gave her a sad smile.
"Good night." Stella nodded and headed to her room after wishing him.
"I look forward to working with you." She heard him saying as she was closing the door.
Shaking her head slightly, she waved at him, shutting the door completely.
---------------------------
Adam was sitting in his chair, going through some files that needed to be signed by him. He was lost in his own world and didn't know someone coming inside.
A familiar vanilla scent wafted his nostrils, making him look up from the file. His eyes landed on the girl he has been missing since morning. Though they have arrived together at the office, but he just couldn't be with her in front of his staff. He wouldn't like it if anyone bad-mouthed her because of him.
Moreover, she didn't come to his office since they arrived, not even once. He could understand that she must have been with her own work, but he still couldn't help but miss her, badly.
Now, here she was, sitting before him. Her hands propped up, supporting her chin as she looked at him with a big smile on her face.
"Look who's here." Adam looked down at the file again, his lips pursed.
"I brought you your lunch." She said. "What's with the expression on your face?"
"Someone finally bothered to show her face." He replied, without even looking at her.
"I was busy and you know that." She shook her head sideways at his childish behavior. 'How is he the same person who rules over the business of entire Germany?' She thought to herself.
"Looks like you are more interested in that file, and here I thought we could have lunch together." She added with a pout, standing up from the seat.
Before she could even take a single step towards the door, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her back against his rock hard chest.
"I am sorry. I just missed you too much beasty, and I was just a bit sad. I knew you were busy like crazy. I shouldn't have overreacted over it. I am sorry." He apologized to her, placing his chin on her shoulder.
"Hmm, it's alright." Stella replied, shaking her head. 'Looks like I have found a way to deal with his tantrums.'
"Let's eat." Adam proposed.
Before Stella could give him a reply, the office door opened suddenly, making Stella jump out of his embrace.
Adam was enraged at the person who had just disturbed them. His eyes shifted towards the door to look at the person, ready to lash out on him or her.
A girl strutted in, wearing a sexy bright red dress that embraced her curves perfect, reaching above her knees. Her blonde hairs that were styled into loose curls were let down that reached up to her elbows. Her fair delicate face was touched up a bit as to give her a natural look. Her golden high heels clicking against the dark gray marbled floor as she walked towards Adam.
Her face brightened up as she looked at him. Once she was right before him, she threw herself on him, hugging him tightly by his waist.
"Adam!" She squealed in delight. "It's so good to be back home. I am sorry for staying away for so long, but you know, duty calls. I missed you so much. But now, I am back and I won't be going anywhere for a long time. We have all the time for ourselves now."
