Chapter 99 - Where We Left... (2/2)

”Don't worry baby girl, we will continue where we left.” Adam's voice came from behind her, making her run to the bathroom.

Adam chuckled at her reaction. She was acting like a scared little kitten.

When he saw the bathroom's door being shut, his carefree expression turned to an arctic one as his finger slid on the phones screen, connecting the call.

”This better be important.” He spoke up into the phone's speaker.

”It is.” Blake replied with his voice as cold as Antarctica itself.

Adam was standing before the French glass windows of his room. He looked out at the night sky which was as dark as it could get. Even though it was a cloudless sky, not a single star was shining in the distance for one to feast his eyes on. It looked gloomy and bleak, just like Adam's mood right now.

Blake had told him about the incident that happened at the party, not leaving out a single detail. His blood was boiling in anger. He would have probably killed Rachel by now. How dare she even thought about doing something like that to his little elf?

'Looks like I have been too lenient in dealing with people.' He thought.

He felt a pair of slender arms wrapping around his trunk as a head rested on his back. His tensed muscles easing as Stella drew small circles on his chest with her dainty fingers, the gloomy expression on his face turning into a tender one.

He turned around and hugged her back, crushing his body against his.

”Why didn't you tell me?” He spoke up in a low voice, but enough for Stella to hear.

She was confused for a little while before realization dawned on her. 'Blake! You idiot!' She cursed him inwardly.

”I didn't want you to worry. And I am completely fine, aren't I?” She replied softly, still rubbing his back.

”You not telling me things, worries me more.” Adam replied. He was sulking like a child with his face buried in the crook of her neck as he inhaled in her scent which was a mixture of lavender and vanilla.

”I am sorry.” Stella added, withdrawing from the hug. She looked at Adam's face which was contoured in an unpleasant expression.

She saw that he was still wearing the same clothes, except for the coat, which must be lying somewhere on the floor.

She tugged on the collar of his shirt, bringing his face near hers. Standing on her toes, she crashed her lips against his, taking him by surprise.
