Chapter 53: Settling His Score With Her
"Why aren't you this carefree when you are sober baby?" Adam muttered next to her ear making her giggle as his breath tickled her ear.
"If you like, I can get drunk daily." She purred next to his ear as she traced his jawline with her finger.
Adam's heart skipped a beat looking at his girl, dancing in between his arms.
"No, let's keep you sober." He shook his head. 'Or else I may have a heart attack.'
After dancing for a while, Adam took her upstairs in his private room after leaving Blake a text.
"Stella, be careful." Adam sighed at the sight of her sprinting towards the bed in her heels.
"What could happen to me when you are here?" She replied taking off her heels and throwing them away.
He leaned his back against the door. "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything will do as long as I can have those shots with it." She giggled.
"No more alcohol for you." He said taking out his phone. After talking to the manager of the club, he made his way towards his girl who was now bouncing up and down on the spring mattress like a child.
He leaned against the headrest, his eyes still locked on her. "Come here." He said opening his arms to her. She turned her face towards him and jumped right into them, landing on his firm chest.
"I am glad that you are getting more comfortable around me." He said rubbing her back.
She hummed softly snuggling closer to him. "I am sorry that I am not able to reciprocate your feelings." She looked up at him with teary eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey! It's not a problem at all sweetheart. You can take all the time you need. And even if you don't do it then, I won't mind as long as I can stay by your side baby girl." He spoke softly to her.
His sweet words made her cry even more. Adam wiped off her tears with his thumbs kissing her forehead. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock at the door.
"Looks like the food is here." Stella's face brightened up. Adam laughed at her sudden mood shift.
Half an hour later, after eating and drinking more Stella was now slurring through her words.
"A-A-Adam?" She called him lying down on the bed. "C-Come here."
"Do you need anything?" He asked her making his way towards her.
"D-don't I l-look g-good today?" She asked him as he sat down next to her.
"Of course you do." He replied running his fingers through her hairs.
"T-Then why haven't y-y-you ki-ssed me?" She pouted.
"Because I didn't want to ruin your makeup sweetheart, but I can definitely do that now." He replied with a smirk as he closed his lips over hers.
Half a minute or so into the kiss, Adam felt something wrong with her responses. He withdrew his lips back to found her sleeping soundly under him.
'Did she just fell asleep when I was kissing her?' He was utterly flabbergasted.
After tucking her in properly, he made his way out to have some drinks with Blake. Having a high alcohol tolerance had its own perks for sure.

Next morning, Stella woke up with a splitting headache. She groaned holding her head in between her hands.
"Look who's up." Adam spoke up sitting leisurely on the couch.
Stella tilted her head up to look at him. "Why does my head hurt so much?"
"Because you enjoyed yourself so much last night." He replied making his way towards her. "Drink it, then you can have some pain killers." He handed her a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice along with some aspirin.
Stella drank it in one go after murmuring her thanks to him.
"You even tried to take advantage of me in your drunken state." He spoke sitting down next to her.
"I can't do that." She snapped her head towards him, her eyes widening in shock.
Adam didn't reply but only looked at her with a sad expression on his face as if he had been wronged by her.
"Did I?" She furrowed her brows. "I am so sorry." She apologized to him.
"I didn't say that I mind it sweetheart. What are you apologising for?" He gave her faint smile.contemporary romance
"I really don't mind you taking advantage of me." He moved closer to her, his lips a few inches away from hers.
Stella closed her eyes in anticipation of a kiss. Adam smirked looking at her expressions.
"Here it is. I was looking for it everywhere." He waved his phone picking it up from the bedside table.
Stella abruptly opened her eyes as her face turned crimson red.
"I will order for our breakfast." Adam broke the silence, waving his phone before her face.
He headed outside after settling his score with her for last night with a devilish grin on his face. 'I am sorry sweetheart, I will make it up to you later on.'
