Chapter 53 - Settling His Score With Her (1/2)

”Why aren't you this carefree when you are sober baby?” Adam muttered next to her ear making her giggle as his breath tickled her ear.

”If you like, I can get drunk daily.” She purred next to his ear as she traced his jawline with her finger.

Adam's heart skipped a beat looking at his girl, dancing in between his arms.

”No, let's keep you sober.” He shook his head. 'Or else I may have a heart attack.'

After dancing for a while, Adam took her upstairs in his private room after leaving Blake a text.

”Stella, be careful.” Adam sighed at the sight of her sprinting towards the bed in her heels.

”What could happen to me when you are here?” She replied taking off her heels and throwing them away.

He leaned his back against the door. ”What do you want to eat?”

”Anything will do as long as I can have those shots with it.” She giggled.

”No more alcohol for you.” He said taking out his phone. After talking to the manager of the club, he made his way towards his girl who was now bouncing up and down on the spring mattress like a child.

He leaned against the headrest, his eyes still locked on her. ”Come here.” He said opening his arms to her. She turned her face towards him and jumped right into them, landing on his firm chest.

”I am glad that you are getting more comfortable around me.” He said rubbing her back.

She hummed softly snuggling closer to him. ”I am sorry that I am not able to reciprocate your feelings.” She looked up at him with teary eyes.

”Hey, hey, hey! It's not a problem at all sweetheart. You can take all the time you need. And even if you don't do it then, I won't mind as long as I can stay by your side baby girl.” He spoke softly to her.

His sweet words made her cry even more. Adam wiped off her tears with his thumbs kissing her forehead. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock at the door.

”Looks like the food is here.” Stella's face brightened up. Adam laughed at her sudden mood shift.

Half an hour later, after eating and drinking more Stella was now slurring through her words.

”A-A-Adam?” She called him lying down on the bed. ”C-Come here.”

”Do you need anything?” He asked her making his way towards her.

”D-don't I l-look g-good today?” She asked him as he sat down next to her.

”Of course you do.” He replied running his fingers through her hairs.

”T-Then why haven't y-y-you ki-ssed me?” She pouted.
