Chapter 119 - A Flash (2/2)

”I am sorry.” Adam stopped in his tracks and grabbed her hand.

Stella didn't reply to him back and kept looking ahead.

They were having a walk by the shore after their dinner. Since it was close to midnight, there weren't many people and it was quiet.

”Stella? I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I didn't know that I mean that much to you.” Adam added.

Stella turned around and looked at him.

”What did you just say?” Stella spoke up, narrowing her eyes at him.

Adam saw the enraged look on her face and gulped. 'I shouldn't have said that either.' He scolded himself internally.

”You said that because you didn't know how much you mean to me?” Stella raised an eyebrow.

”I-I-I…..” Adam stammered with his words for the first time in his life.

”How can you not know how much you mean to me?” She spoke up again, taking a step closer to him.

”I am just scared to loose you.” Adam finally spoke up under her scrutinizing gaze, telling her about his deepest fear.

”After Dad, I didn't have anyone else with me. Uncle Liam and Blake were there, but they have their own lives to deal with.” He took a pause before continuing.

”I have you now, and you mean the world to me baby. It scares the living shit out of me to even think about that you might leave me. I….”

Stella placed a finger over his lips, making him stop.

”You mean the same to me you idiot. I was upset because you didn't give importance to your life over mine. Have you ever thought about what might happen to me if anything happens to you? I can't imagine my life without you.” Stella hugged him, wrapping her arms tightly around his broad back.

”And I love you too.” She added meekly. She had finally replied to his confession.

Adam was stunned for a while before coming back to the present.

”What did you say?” Adam asked her, as her raised her face so that he could properly look at her.

”I love you.” Stella replied, gazing into his grey orbs.

”I love you too baby.” Adam replied and captured her lips, kissing her like never before.

Their tongues danced together as they poured all of their emotions in the kiss.

A camera flashed in the distance, but the two people it was pointed at, were too busy kissing each other to even notice it.
