Chapter 196 - Parting (2/2)

She turned around and hugged him tightly, not letting him see her teary eyed face, but she forgot one thing. Just like how she could read him like an open book, he could do the same to her.

He smiled as he rubbed her back, trying to calm her nerves down.

”Are you forgetting all those things that you have been saying to me since last night?” He chuckled, hugging her close.

”You should probably leave now.” She mumbled into his chest.

”Okay, okay. But promise me that you will take care of yourself.” He asked her again. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she nodded her head slightly before letting go of him.

Adam leaned his head down and placed a lingering kiss on her forehead. ”I gotta go now.” He murmured against her forehead before kissing her one more time.

Stella was gazing at hai departing figure when he turned around and almost ran back to her. She looked at him in confusion, but her confusion didn't last for much longer as he crashed his lips down on hers.

He finally parted with her, allowing her to breathe after kissing her senselessly.

He pressed his forehead against hers. ”I forgot this.” He muttered in between his breaths, causing Stella to smile wider. Looking at that smile, he finally heaved a sigh of relief before walking away from her.

Stella stayed there even after he had left and continued to watch the jet through the glass wall. She didn't move from her place until the jet had taken off, disappearing into the distance.

”Looks like you are stuck with me.” She turned around and spoke to Edward, who only shook his head as he pitied himself.

”Unlucky me.” He commented, making her smile.

”Then what are you waiting for Mr. Unlucky? Drive me back home.” She gave him a questioning look.

A few minutes later, a bulletproof black Maybach left the airport followed by three black Mercedes.

Stella was sitting on the king sized bed all alone, munching on some pizza. She had asked Edward to make a pit stop at a pizza place on their way back home.

Dressed in baggy gray sweater and some shorts, she was waiting patiently for the call of a certain someone. Hee phone was placed before her, her eyes fixated on the black screen, waiting for it to light up. She looked at the time again to make sure she wasn't way too eager for his call or it was him who being late. His jet would have landed half an hour ago and he still hadn't called her yet.
