Chapter 52: Sister-in-law
"Look at you guys, enjoying without me." Blake came to their booth.
"Why should have we waited for you? Give me at least one good reason." Adam asked him with a smug as he stood up to greet him.
"Well for one, I am the one who invited you guys." Blake replied with a pout as Adam patted him on his back.
"We didn't know when will you be coming to greet us. Otherwise, we would have." Stella spoke up making her way towards him.
Blake engulfed her in a bear hug. "At least my sister-in-law cares for me." He spoke as he pretended to sob.
Stella casted Adam a side glance as if asking for his help only to get a shrug in response. Adam shook his head as if trying to say 'You are the one who was being so good to him, now deal with the consequences.'
"You are crushing her Blake." Adam finally gave into her pitiful expressions.
"I didn't mean to. I just got a bit emotional." He replied finally letting her go as he wiped off his non-existing tears.
"I still have to show my face around, so you guys continue. I will see you in a while." Blake spoke as he looked into his phone. "You can head upstairs whenever you want to, just let me know so I don't look for you guys everywhere." He continued and went away, leaving them alone.
"Don't worry, he always acts like a drama queen but he's a good person. You will like him eventually." Adam said as he took a seat next to Stella.
"I already like him." She replied giving him a soft smile.
"That's good." Adam replied. "Let me know when you want to go upstairs." He continued to get a nod from her.
"I need to use the bathroom, I will be back in a while." Stella spoke up after emptying her third beer bottle.
"I will accompany you." Adam replied getting up but was pushed down on the couch.
"I am not a kid Adam. I will just ask some waitress for the way." Adam could only nod reluctantly as she glared at him.
Stella touched up her lipstick before heading out of the ladies room. On her way to the booth area, she was looking for her phone in her black clutch when she bumped into someone, dropping it on the floor.
"I am so sorry." She apologized as she tried to pick up her things which were now scattered on the floor.
"Please let me." A man spoke up and bent down to pick up her things. He handed her all the things along with her clutch.contemporary romance
"Thank you so much." Stella gave him a polite smile taking her things from him. "I am sorry for not watching where I was walking to." She apologized once again.
"The fault is mine too. I should have watched my way as well." The man replied looking intently at her.
"It's alright." She replied politely. "I should get going now. Thank you once again." She said heading back inside. She didn't want Adam to turn the place upside down just because she took a couple of minutes more.
The man looked at her retreating figure with a roguish grin on his face. He opened the palm of his hand that was holding a pocket sized perfume. Spraying it in the air, he took a deep breath as he looked into the direction where the girl's retreating figure has disappeared with lust evident in his black eyes.

"What took you so long?" Adam asked Stella as soon as she sat next to him.
"I bumped into someone on my way here." Stella gave him an eye roll.
"I ordered some vodka shots for us." Adam replied pointing at the table.
"Oh!" She replied picking up one and gulping it down. After having five shots, her mind went numb.
"Take it easy sweetheart. They aren't going anywhere." Adam chuckled looking at his little elf chucking down shots one after the other. He was glad they had a late lunch after shopping or else she might have been drunk long before.
"Let's dance Adam." She grabbed his hand and tried to drag him but he didn't even bulge from his spot.
"No, we aren't dancing here." He replied.
"Then I will dance alone." She said sprinting towards the dance floor before Adam could grab her hand.
She started moving her body to the music. After drinking this much, she was more carefree now.
Adam gulped down vodka shots one after the other as his eyes followed her as she moved her body to the beat.
"F***!" He muttered under his breath as he could not control himself anymore looking at his little seductress. Gulping down one more shot, he made his way to the dance floor.
He pulled her into his arms pressing her body against his.
"I thought you said you aren't going to dance." Stella gave him a goofy smile as her arms found their way around his neck.
"I couldn't help it." He said as their bodies moved to the beat, rubbing against each other.
'And it's better if these ass***** watch you dance with me rather than you alone baby girl.' He thought.
