My Little Sunshine

Chapter 85: My Crybaby

"I will try to wind up my work as soon as possible." Adam spoke up, his one hand resting over her shoulders as they waited in the VIP waiting lounge of the airport. "Remember the man who picked you up on the day I proposed to you, he will be your chauffeur till I get back." Adam continued. 

Stella sat there quietly next to him, her face crimson red. They weren't the only one in the VIP waiting lounge, the Vice President was also there and was sitting directly across them. 

Adam couldn't keep his hands to himself, twenty minutes from now, his private jet will leave for France and so will he. He wanted to spend the remaining time he had with her. But here she was, sitting next to him and not even bothering to talk to him. 

"I am going to miss you." Adam spoke as he brushed away the few strands of hairs that had somehow managed to escape the bun. "And it doesn't look like you will be missing me." He continued as he pursed his lips together. 

"Don't talk nonsense. Of course I will miss you." Stella finally replied to him. "No matter how annoying or a pain in the ass you are sometimes, I have gotten used to having you around, within my reach." Stella continued, keeping her voice low so that only Adam could hear her.

"I will be back even before you realize that I am gone." Adam gave her a toothy smile, one that could steal anyone's heart. 

Stella looked at him intently as her eyes become teary. She buried her face in his chest as a few tears managed to escape her eyes. 

"Hey! What's with being so emotional suddenly?" Adam asked her, his voice laced with concern. "Aren't you the one who's forcing me to go? Now look at you." Adam rubbed her back with love. 

Stella didn't reply to him. She continued to hug him, her face buried into his sturdy chest. 

All of her life she has been alone. There was no one to look after her after her parents passed away. She looked after herself. She closed off herself from the outside world. She was finally getting used to it. But then, he came into her life. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't keep him out of her life. He knocked down the walls she had made around her heart, removing one brick at a time. She couldn't comprehend how someone could affect her so much that even the thought of him going away for a couple of days could tear her up like this.

'Maybe, this is how it feels to be in love with someone.' The thought itself was scaring her. She loved her parents with all of her heart and they left her. What if...

"Stop being so emotional sweetheart." Adam interrupted her thoughts. 

Pulling back from the hug, Adam peppered her face with soft feather like kisses. 

Before he could continue, a man clad in a black suit approached them. 

"It's time to leave, Sir." He interrupted the couple.

Adam nodded and stood up with Stella clinging to his arm. 

"I will miss you." Stella spoke up in a meek voice.

"I will miss my crybaby too." Adam replied pinching her nose.

He glanced at the rest of the people around them, half of which were his bodyguards, and tilted his head to the side, asking them to leave. They nodded and left, leaving the couple alone.

Seeing that they were alone now, Adam kissed her lips, sucking on them as Stella reciprocated. He reluctantly let go of her lips after a while. Pressing one last kiss on her forehead, he spoke up. 

"I will see you soon." Adam left after speaking these words. 

Stella stood in the waiting lounge even after he had left. Her eyes were set on the runway where a jet with the logo of Levinson's Corp was ready to take off. She only left once the jet was no longer visible in the sky. 

--------------------

Coming back home, she was in a terrible mood. No matter how many times she turned in her bed, she couldn't sleep. Her eyelids didn't even close for a minute. Heaving a frustrated sigh out, she decided to go to the rooftop. 

"May be fresh air will help me a bit." She muttered under her breath as she stepped out of her bed. She picked a night robe from her walk-in closet and donned it over her black baggy t-shirt and matching shorts. 

She headed out of her room, her eyes feel on the door opposite to her. She couldn't control herself and turned the knob only to find the room unlocked. She stepped inside and made her way towards the bed. Jumping on to it, she climbed under the duvets. Her eyes slowly became heavier and she drifted off to her dreamland, hugging Adam's pillow.
