Chapter 49: Welcome To The Family
"Oh my! What do we have here?" He finally spoke after a while with a mischievous grin on his face as something dawned on him.
Stella stopped in her tracks as she looked at Blake. 'Crap! Can't you see there's someone else in the room as well?' She scolded herself inwardly as a faint blush spread over her cheeks.
"May I ask something? I mean if you don't mind, of course." Blake asked Stella.
She meekly nodded in response.
Rubbing his hands together, he opened his mouth as mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. "So, are you guys in a relationship?" He asked biting down his lower lip trying not to laugh.
"Yes."
"Yes."
Adam and Stella replied in unison.
Blake's eyes darted from Stella to Adam. After a minute or two of staring at them, he broke out in a fit of laughter.
"Finally! Congratulations man!" He exclaimed as he jumped on Adam.
"Get off me, you moron." Adam shouted pushing him back.
Blake complied to him and made his way to where Stella was standing still.
"Congratulations to you as well Stella." He extended his hand towards her which she politely took. "Welcome to the family." He continued giving her hand a firm shake.
'I just agreed to be his girlfriend, what does he mean by family?' Stella thought to herself as she looked at the grinning idiot standing before her.
"You are making her uncomfortable." Adam spoke up as he stood up from the couch, making his way towards Stella.
"If he ever bullies you, just tell me. I will kick his ass for you." Blake said letting go of her hand.
"As if I will." Adam scoffed wrapping his arm around her waist.
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Blake shrugged it off as Adam narrowed his eyes at him.
"Oh Stella, there's this party I am holding at one of my clubs, I would love it if you come along with Adam." He continued..
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about earlier. We can go there, but only if you want to." Adam interrupted Blake. "The choice is yours. If you don't want to go there then we can go somewhere else."
She turned her head to look at Blake who was looking at her with a pleading expression.
"It's alright, we can go there." She replied looking at Adam, giving him a soft smile. She wasn't one to go to such parties, but she just couldn't say no to Adam. After all, Blake was his best friend and the only friend of him she knew.
"So, when is it?" She asked Adam.
"This weekend. Saturday night." Adam replied kissing the top of her head.
"Alright." Stella nodded her head in response.
There was a knock on the door and Bella entered with their coffees.
Stella tried to move out of Adam's grip but he only made his hold tighter, bringing her closer to him.
Bella quietly placed the tray on the table before the couch and turn around to leave.
"Thanks Bella." Adam thanked him as she was on her way out.
"You're welcome Sir." She replied without turning back and headed out. Though she has seen Stella standing too close to Adam, trying to struggle out of his grip with a flushed face, she chose not to look at her because of the poor girl's expression. She looked like a child who was caught stealing chocolates from the refrigerator. 'No wonder Boss seems to act different when he's around her.' She shook her head at her own thoughts, but she was happy for her Boss. He deserved to have someone in his life.
"Adam!" Stella looked at him as if she has been wronged.
"What? She's not dumb Stella. Why do you think she brought a cup of English tea along with our coffee? I didn't even ask her to do that." He replied dragging her to the couch.
Stella looked at the tray and was shocked to see a cup of tea along with two cups of coffee, one black and the other one regular.
"You didn't ask her to bring it?" Her question was more like a statement itself.
"No, he didn't. I was the one who asked her to bring in the coffee when I came. I didn't know that you were here as well." Blake replied as he sat on the single couch.
Adam brought her closer to him, his arm wrapped around her shoulder. "You're worrying for naught sweetheart. She won't say a word to anyone. She isn't like that." He tried to calm down her nerves as his hand slowly rubbed her shoulder.
She nodded her head slightly.
Blake gave the couple a side glance as he took a sip of his coffee. 'They are going to become inseparable soon.' He smiled to himself looking at their interactions.
