Chapter 116: Not Now, Not Ever



Chapter 116: Not Now, Not Ever

"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.

"But what about the conference?" She gave him a confused look.

"What conference?" Adam replied with a devilish smirk on his face.

Realization slowly began to dawn on her as she stood rooted to the ground. There was no conference, it was a surprise trip for her. 

She gazed into his eyes which were staring back into hers filled with emotions that she couldn't comprehend. 

She suddenly hugged Adam, wrapping her arms tightly around his lower back. "Thank you." She murmured meekly against his chest.

"You don't have to thank me babygirl. Not now, not ever." Adam hugged her back and pressed a kiss on the top of her head.

The executives standing there were flabbergasted by the open display of emotions by their Boss. All of them had the same thought going through their minds. 'Who is this man and what has he done to our Boss?' 

But too bad for them, none of them had the courage to say it out loud. 

Adam guided Stella to the car that was already waiting for them on the runway. 

"Where are we going?" Stella couldn't conceal her excitement. 

"You will see." Adam replied, giving her a lop-sided grin.

Stella zoned out for a while after looking at his smile. 'How can someone be so perfect?' 

"Stella?" Adam's voice brought her out of her thoughts and she realized that his was too close to hers. 

"What are you thinking about?" He asked her after getting her attention back to him.

"Nothing." Stella replied and leaned her head against his shoulder, taking him by surprise. 

Stella was not like those clingy girlfriends. How bad Adam wished for her to be. But she wasn't one show her emotions openly or come close to him on her own. It was always him who approaching her, wanting to be the center of her world. But no matter how she was, to him, she was just perfect. 

Adam felt her hands snaking around his arm. He just sat still in the same position and let her as she pleased.

The car soon stopped before a lodging area and Adam stepped out, soon followed by Stella. 

"So, where will we be staying?" Stella asked him with a confused expression as she looked before her only to find a number of trees standing tall before them.

"There." Adam grabbed her chin with his fingers and turned her face to her left. He pointed in a direction with the finger of his free hand.

Stella moved her eyes to look into the direction he was pointing and felt her heart skip a beat at the scene before her.
