Chapter 51: Who Bought This Dress?
Two hours later, Adam stood before his dressing table. He looked at his reflection in the mirror fixing his cuffs. He was dressed up in a checkered light grey suit with a white button-down shirt, the first two buttons were left undone. He had left his air-dried hairs untouched that gave him a casual yet appealing look. A limited edition Phatek Phillipe watch rested on his left wrist. Lastly, he put on a pair of hand crafted black leather shoes on his way out.
"Stella?" He called her out knocking on her door. "We have to go now or else we will be running late and Blake will roast me alive." He knocked on the door once more.
"How long are you going to take to get ready? I gave you two hours." He knocked once again and this time the door finally opened.
"I was just putting on my stilettos." She replied coming out of her room. "Do I look okay?" She asked him once she was standing right before him.
Adam gulped as his eyes moved up and down a couple of times looking at his little elf who was looking more like a hot model ready to walk on the ramp.
She was wearing a skin tight strapless dark maroon short dress that stopped before her mid thigh. There was a little v-cut on the upper border of the dress that exposed a little bit of her cleavage. A golden chain like belt was tied loosely around her waist. She was wearing a matching lipstick shade to the dress, keeping her makeup minimum as always. Her wavy hairs were tied up in a high pony. Two golden loops were dangling from her ears whereas her neckline was bare showing off her prominent collarbones. A pair of black velvet boot style stilettos were sported by her feet, reaching upto her fair ankles.
"Who bought this dress?" Adam finally spoke up after ogling her for a while.
"Umm….you?" Stella replied looking at him with her furrowed brows. "You said it will look good on me and is perfect to wear for today's party." Stella replied recalling his words.
"No! Nope! I was wrong. You should go and change." He replied instantly looking at her face.
"Do I look that bad?" Stella looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Adam heaved out a frustrated sigh. 'Why did I even buy her this dress?' He scolded himself internally. "What? Who said that? You look absolutely amazing." He replied giving her smile, tugging her hand towards himself.
"Sure?" She tilted her head down to look at her dress.
"Yes." He replied tilting up her head back. "Let's go or we may run late."
--------------------------
Half an hour later, both of them entered the first floor of the club. Adam directly took Stella to one of the booths that was already reserved for them. He hadn't let go of her hand since they had stepped in, not even once.
He heaved out a sigh of relief once they settled down. His anger was bubbling up seeing all those ass***** eyeing his girl. At least, they cannot do it now because of the low lighting in the booths.
"Is it usually this crowded?" Stella asked him leaning close to his ear. She couldn't even understand herself because of the loud music that was playing.
"It's actually more than this but today the club's been closed for people. Only those who have invites can enter the place. The ground floor is reserved for gambling today. This one's for drinking and dancing. The second floor is closed off but not for us. It has private rooms that can be booked by only a bunch of people who are special membership card holders. But Blake has one for himself where we usually drink and there's one that's mine." He explained to her which she nodded.
Adam orders their drinks and they were soon served. There was a silent rule inside the Golden Corals. No female waiter was allowed to serve drinks to Adam or even try to take his order. Whoever wouldn't comply with it, could kiss their jobs goodbye.
"Who's going to drive back?" Stella asked Adam worriedly when she saw him drinking beer as it was water.
"Don't worry sweetheart. That's the job of the maniac who invited us tonight. Relax and enjoy yourself." Adam leaned back against the couch leisurely, his one hand resting behind Stella's head while the other was holding the chilled beer bottle.
Seeing her reluctance, he could guess that it was her first time going to a club. He tried to think of a way to loosen up his girl. He really wanted her to enjoy herself.
"Come here." He asked Stella to come closer to him.
Taking a big sip of his beer, he smacked his lips against hers. His tongue pried open her lips going deep inside. Stella felt some cold liquid entering her mouth, she couldn't help but gulp it down. It left a bitter taste in her mouth.
Adam withdrew his lips once he was sure that she had gulped it down. His tongue licked the drops beside her lips that had somehow escaped her mouth.
"Either you drink it yourself, or I will make you drink it." He said giving her a peck on her lips.
After being threatened by him, Stella picked up a beer bottle and gulped half of it down in one go leaving a burning sensation in her throat.
Adam chuckled at her actions. "Though I would have preferred the latter one, but this will do for now." He said with a wink as he took a sip of his beer.
Both of them were lost in their own world. Unbeknownst to them, a pair of black eyes has been observing their every action since they have entered the floor.
