Chapter 25 - Puss In Boots (1/2)

The next morning, Adam woke up and followed his usual routine. Around 5 p.m, he picked up his phone and searched through his contact lists for someone's number. He stopped scrolling when his eyes fell on the name he was looking for. He hesitated for a bit before hitting the call button on the screen.

The screen flashed showing the outgoing call. After three rings, the call was picked up.

”Hello.” From the other end came an angelic voice, his favorite one these days.

”Hey.” Adam replied.

”Who's this speaking?” Stella asked in confusion, not recognizing the voice.

”Who picks up calls without seeing who exactly is calling them?” Adam scoffed in response. 'How could she not recognize my voice?' He was a bit annoyed.

”What does it had to do with you Mister? Who is this speaking?” She retorted.

”Well, I want to speak to a little elf who snores while sleeping.” Adam was enjoying their conversation. 'Why is even a few exchanges of words with her so intriguing?' He smiled, holding the phone to his ear.

There was no response from the other end.

”Little elf? You still on the line?” Adam couldn't help but ask her.

”Who are you calling a little elf?” Stella roared at him through the phone. Adam had to retract his phone a bit away from his poor ear.

”And I don't snore.” She continued not letting Adam spoke.

”Did you confirm it last night just like I have told you to do?” Adam asked her.

”ADAM!!!!” She shouted at him. ”Do you want me to block your phone number?”

”No, no, no. Don't you dare to do that.” Adam replied immediately.

”What did you say?” She asked in return.

”I-I mean, don't do that, please.” Adam changed his tone and words in an instant.

”I will think about that. By the way why did you call me?” She replied to his plea.

”I was just calling to remind you about today's event.” Adam replied to her, getting right to the point.
