Chapter 74 - Rich People And Their Ways (1/2)

”Why do they have a dance floor here? Isn't it just an auction?” Stella spoke as she took a sip of her wine as her eyes looked at the dancing floor where people were dancing in pairs to some soft music playing in the background. They were now standing by one of the high tables in the far back of the hall.

”The auction will take place at some adjoining hall, this is just for the enjoyment of people.” Adam replied as he looked at her.

”Rich people and their ways.” Stella commented shaking her head softly with her lips pursed.

Hearing her remark Adam cleared his throat, bringing her attention back to him.

Stella almost spilled out the wine in her mouth she just sipped as she heard him clearing his throat.

”I-I-I…. You know what I mean?” Stella gave him an apologetic smile.

Adam chuckled at her reaction. ”I know.” He said patting her head only to get a deathly glare from her.

”Don't mess my hair.” She said swatting his hand away.

”May I have a dance with my girlfriend if she doesn't mind?” Adam asked her out of nowhere, extending his hand for her to hold.

Though Stella wanted to decline since there were a lot of people around them, but looking at those gray eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no to him. Nodding her head slightly she put her hand into his extended one.

Wrapping his fingers around the back of her hand, Adam guided her to the dance floor. He stopped in his tracks as he ushered a waiter and whispered something next to his ear and continued to head towards the dance floor with Stella in tow.

Once they were in the centre of the dance floor, the lighting dimmed a bit and soft music started to play in the background.

Adam placed one of his arms on her lower back while the other continued holding onto her hand. She brought her closer to him and started moving her to the music.

”I met you in the dark, you lit me up

You made me feel as though I was enough

We danced the night away, we drank too much

I held your hair back when

You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder

For a minute, I was stone-cold sober

I pulled you closer to my chest

And you asked me to stay over

I said, I already told ya

I think that you should get some rest…”

Adam brought her closer to him, there was no gap in between them. Stella could feel her heart flutter when she looked into his eyes which were looking back at her, filled with tenderness and emotions that she couldn't comprehend. He continued moving their bodies to the song as he rested his forehead on hers, still gazing into those hazel eyes glowing brighter than the stars.

”I knew I loved you then

But you'd never know

'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go

I know I needed you

But I never showed
