Chapter 85 - My Crybaby (1/2)

”I will try to wind up my work as soon as possible.” Adam spoke up, his one hand resting over her shoulders as they waited in the VIP waiting lounge of the airport. ”Remember the man who picked you up on the day I proposed to you, he will be your chauffeur till I get back.” Adam continued.

Stella sat there quietly next to him, her face crimson red. They weren't the only one in the VIP waiting lounge, the Vice President was also there and was sitting directly across them.

Adam couldn't keep his hands to himself, twenty minutes from now, his private jet will leave for France and so will he. He wanted to spend the remaining time he had with her. But here she was, sitting next to him and not even bothering to talk to him.

”I am going to miss you.” Adam spoke as he brushed away the few strands of hairs that had somehow managed to escape the bun. ”And it doesn't look like you will be missing me.” He continued as he pursed his lips together.

”Don't talk nonsense. Of course I will miss you.” Stella finally replied to him. ”No matter how annoying or a pain in the ass you are sometimes, I have gotten used to having you around, within my reach.” Stella continued, keeping her voice low so that only Adam could hear her.

”I will be back even before you realize that I am gone.” Adam gave her a toothy smile, one that could steal anyone's heart.

Stella looked at him intently as her eyes become teary. She buried her face in his chest as a few tears managed to escape her eyes.

”Hey! What's with being so emotional suddenly?” Adam asked her, his voice laced with concern. ”Aren't you the one who's forcing me to go? Now look at you.” Adam rubbed her back with love.

Stella didn't reply to him. She continued to hug him, her face buried into his sturdy chest.

All of her life she has been alone. There was no one to look after her after her parents passed away. She looked after herself. She closed off herself from the outside world. She was finally getting used to it. But then, he came into her life. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't keep him out of her life. He knocked down the walls she had made around her heart, removing one brick at a time. She couldn't comprehend how someone could affect her so much that even the thought of him going away for a couple of days could tear her up like this.

'Maybe, this is how it feels to be in love with someone.' The thought itself was scaring her. She loved her parents with all of her heart and they left her. What if...

”Stop being so emotional sweetheart.” Adam interrupted her thoughts.

Pulling back from the hug, Adam peppered her face with soft feather like kisses.
