Chapter 116 - Not Now, Not Ever (1/2)

”I know my new favorite flavor. It's you.”

Adam's words resonated through her entire being, her face turning a deeper shade of red. It was beginning to look like a ripened tomato, ready to be harvested and eaten.

Adam had his eyes fixed at her blushing face, waiting for her to say something at his remark, but she didn't. Her eyes were wandering around, looking everywhere but at him.

Adam heaved a sigh as he pressed a kiss on the side of her head.

”Do you want to take a shower?” He asked her, his voice as light as a feather.

Stella shook her head sideways in a no.

”Want to rest?” He asked her once again to which she nodded.

”Alright!” He replied and got off the bed.

He picked up his t-shirt that was lying down on the floor on top of the pile of their clothes, and made his way back to her. He helped her with the shirt.

After making sure she was comfortable, he snuggled against her and pulled up the duvet to cover their bodies.

He pressed a lingering kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes. He soon heard her even breathing and drifted off to his own dreamland with a silly smirk resting over his face.

Stella and Adam were buckling up their seat belts as the pilot announced that were about to land, but didn't mention the name of their destination.

Stella narrowed her eyes at Adam who was grinning like an idiot.

”Not so fast sweetheart! You have to wait until the plane touches the ground.” He added, teasing her. His words made Stella pursed her lips in a pout.

When the plane finally landed, the couple exited together. Adam had an arm draped around her shoulders, holding her close to himself, while Stella was clutching his off-white cotton

A group of around ten people were standing in a straight line. They bowed their heads when they saw the couple stepping down the plane. The men were dressed in a crisp floral half-sleeved shirts paired with a pair of plain white bermuda shorts.

The two girls who were holding trays in their hands with some flowers on it , were sporting floral dresses.

”Welcome to Hawaii!” All of them said in unison making Stella stop in her tracks.

She turned her face to look at the man next to her, only to find him staring back at her.

”H-Hawaii?” Stella spoke up in astonishment. Her were gleaming like the stars at night.

Adam nodded his head in a yes as a low chuckle escaped his lips.
