Chapter 57: Under The Starry Sky
Watching the sunset behind the green hills, they sat in silence with Adam's arm wrapped around her shoulders and her head leaning against his shoulder as Stella drew tiny circles on his t-shirt with her finger.
Time went by and the sky turned darker and darker with each passing minute. The only source of light were the headlights of the car which Adam had turned on.
"Isn't it too late?" Stella asked him tilting her head up.
"No, you have yet to see the best part and why this place is my most favorite spot." He replied, placing a kiss on her forehead.
Adam pulled up the duvet that was covering them up to her shoulders as the wind had become chillier. He didn't want her to catch a cold just because he wanted to show her this place.
"Are you sure that it's safe here?" Stella asked him with a worried expression on her face. "I mean there aren't any wild animals here. Right?"
"Yeah!" Adam replied sincerely. After a long pause he continued. "Well, except for a few boars and grizzly bears, there aren't any wild animals in this part of the terrain. Oh, and some big snakes."
Stella's eyes widened as Adam continued to rant on about the zoogeography. She would have almost jumped down the bonnet and locked herself in the car if it wasn't for Adam, who was holding her tightly close to himself.
Looking at her fearful expressions, Adam chuckled. "Relax sweetheart. I was just joking about the animals. There isn't a single wild animal in these parts of the woods which could do any harm to a human."
"So, you were just pulling my leg?" Stella narrowed her eyes at him.
"I wouldn't exactly call it pulling your leg, but I was just curious as to what can get my little elf so worried." He replied rubbing her shoulder.
"Yeah, right! Me getting worried about a bunch of wild animals appearing out of nowhere and hurt us is senseless." Stella replied sarcastically.
"You have lived here for your whole life and you don't know that we don't have wild animals in this part?" Adam questioned her with a smirk on his face. "And this a tracking area."
"Umm… I am not an outgoing person. So, I have never been here before, even when my colleagues used to come." She spoke up as her fingers randomly drew random patterns on his t-shirt.
"It's alright sweetheart. You have me now, and I am going to show you every single place that Berlin has to offer." He said making Stella smile.
"You must find me boring." She murmured under her breath but he still caught on it.
"What did you say? Did you just call my girlfriend boring?" Adam looked at her with a displeased expression.
His finger landed on her lips just as she was about to reply to him. "No one, not even you, is allowed to call my girlfriend boring, because she isn't. Do you understand that?" He spoke as he narrowed his eyes at her.
Stella nodded her head in response. She was having an urge to laugh at his childish behavior. Who knew that the Adam Levinson, who could make the entire business economy of Germany crumble, could have such a side to his personality as well.
"Look up." Adam suddenly spoke up pointing at the sky with the same finger that was on her lips a few seconds ago, and so did she.
The sky had turned even a darker shade of blue and one could clearly see the tiny stars scattered throughout it, dazzling in the distance. The crescent shaped moon stood alone among them, shining with all its brilliance, brightening up the night sky.
Stella was dumbfounded as she looked at the sky. She had never seen such a beautiful view in her life before. Well, she did see one earlier today, but there was something about the night that attracted her.
"I can not believe that I have lived my entire life in the same city." She spoke after a while, still looking at the sky.
"This is actually why it is my favorite spot." Adam replied. "You can not see such a view when you are in the main city because of the buildings. But here, it's just pure nature." He continued as he looked at Stella. Though it was dark even after the light that was coming from headlights that were on, he could still see her little face that was glowing under the moonlight. He suddenly had the urge to kiss her badly.
"Sweetheart?" He murmured leaning towards her ear.
"Yeah?" Stella replied as a shiver ran down her spine.
He turned her face towards him, holding her chin in between his fingers.
"Remember that I said something about making some memories here with you, which I could recall whenever I come over here?" He said to which she nodded.
He smirked looking at her adorable expression. "Then let's make some." He said and smacked his lips over hers.
