Chapter 46 - The Girl In Red (2/2)

He stepped towards her so that he can hug her, but she stepped back, raising a hand to stop him.

”Stella?” He called her, worried that she might walk out right now.

”I hate it when people lie to me. What happened to me being the 'only' girl in your life and those promises?” She asked him, emphasizing on 'only'.

”That you are. And I promise that I am not lying to you. I never will.” He said running his hand through his hairs.

Stella raised an eyebrow at him, her hands folded across her chest. ”Oh?”

”That girl was Rachel, Rachel Nelson.” He started explaining to her.

”You already told me that.” She scoffed.

”Remember that lunch meeting, the one I didn't take you to saying that it wasn't an important one?” He asked her.

”Yeah! So it was with her.” She replied to which he shook his head.

”No, it was with Uncle Liam, his full name is Liam Nelson. He was my father's closest friend and is somewhat a fatherly figure for me as well. Rachel is his daughter. It's true that I have known her since we were kids. But that's all. We just know each other since our childhood but there hasn't been anything going on between us, there never was.” He explained it to her.

”If you don't trust me, you can even ask Blake about it. We aren't even friends to begin with. I don't know why she did it. She knows that I hate physical contact with the opposite gender, I don't even like them getting close to me. She had even always kept her distance from me. I don't know why she would hug me out of nowhere.” He continued taking slow steps towards her.

When he saw that she wasn't moving away from him, he stood before her and wrapped his arms around her. ”I swear Stella, there's no one other than you in my life, and I don't think so there will be one even after you. Please, trust me.”

”I trust you, it's just I felt a little….. jealous.” She replied hugging him back, her voice turning low at the last word.

Adam chuckled in response. ”So, my little elf knows how to get jealous too.”

”I know that you said yes because you promised that you will give me a chance, but I promise you that I will make you fall for me just like I have fallen for you.” He continued as he cupped her face.

”Now, let's eat. I am famished.” He said, dragging her towards the couch.

A girl wearing a seductive red dress climbed into a white Mercedes. Just as she settles in, her phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, her lips broke into a smirk.
