Chapter 156 - Step Up His Game (1/2)

”What are you sorry for silly? I should be the one to apologise. I know you don't know everything about me, and it's hard for you. But we have the rest of our lives to get to know each other better.” He rubbed her back softly.

”I made you talk about the past.” Stella replied to him in a meek voice.

Adam could feel the wetness of her tears in the crook of his neck. He softly patted the top of her. ”You made me play again. That is what matters more.”

”I love you.” Stella muttered under her breath.

”I love you too baby girl. Now stop with the crying. You know seeing you like this hurts me so much.” Adam added as he tightened his hold around her.

”They are good.” Blake spoke up as he made his way back to the couch. He was worried about them, so as soon as Adam walked out, he made his way to the window which was facing the garden. He couldn't hear what they were talking about, but judging from their hugging bodies lying on the grass, he could tell that everything was fine.

”I told you that they will be fine.” Lillian added as she scrolled through her mobile phone. ”You always overthink.”

”Sorry for worrying about my best friend and his girlfriend, who for the record, is like a little sister for me.” Blake glared at her.

”Okay, okay.” She added, still not looking up his phone.

”I just can't see either of them sad.” Blake spoke up before turning his attention towards his twin sister.

”How did you two end up together?” He questioned her. ”You never told me that.”

”Actually, we….” Katherine was about to reply him but Scott interrupted her.

”I ran into her into her at Sparkle. Spilled her coffee over her white blouse, and then one thing led to another.” Scott replied as he pulled her closer to himself.

”She doesn't drink coffee when she's in Sparkle for the very same reason. Just saying.” Blake shrugged as his lips tugged up slightly in a playful smirk.

Scott looked at Katherine who was trying to control the laughter which was threatening to break through her pursed lips. She looked up at him and winked. ”You should have let me talk.”

”Next time, you are doing the talking.” He whispered softly before kissing the tip of her nose.

Next morning,

After getting all freshened up and dressed in a pair of black jean shorts with a loose white sweatshirt, Stella walked out of her room and headed towards the garden. A maid had come earlier to inform her that the breakfast will be served outside in the main garden when she was busy blow-drying her hair. Adam was nowhere to be found when she woke up, but as always there was a note left for her, informing her that he would meet her on the breakfast table.
