Chapter 43 - You Look Stunningly Beautiful (2/2)

”Let's go.” He said following the cobbled stone path, taking her along. His hand now rest at her  lower back that was exposed because of the backless dress.

As they turned around a corner, Stella could feel her breathing stop for a moment. She was completely awestruck by the scene before her.

There was a canopy like hut a few steps away from them, decorated with white lilies and more fairy lights. Under it, a dining table for two people was set with a bunch of red roses placed in a crystal vase in the center.

”It's beautiful.” Stella spoke up after a while.

”I'm glad you like it.” Adam replied, kissing the side of her head softly.

”Dinner will be served in a while.” He said guiding her towards a chair. He pulled it out for her like a true gentleman, and after making sure that she was settled in comfortably, he made his way around the table, settling down opposite to her.

”You were busy the entire day for this?” Stella couldn't help but ask him. ”We could've had dinner on the rooftop if you wanted to eat out in the open.”

Adam nodded in response, ”I wanted to make sure that everything will be perfect. And no, I wanted to make it special for you.”

Listening to his reply, a sudden warmth spread through her. ”Thank you. I love it.” She said giving him her most honest smile.

”I am honored then.” Adam winked at her, making her look down at her knotted fingers, resting on the table.

”Relax Stella, I won't eat you up. At least, not for now.” He said looking at her, his eyes burning with desire. He was having second thoughts about his choice. He shouldn't have selected this dress for her, he was going crazy by just looking at her. 'Thank God, she didn't tie her hairs up or else I would have dragged her to somewhere private right now.'

”For now, let's just do with the food.” He added with a mischievous smile.
