Chapter 57 - Under The Starry Sky (1/2)

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.
