Birthday Party (1)

Stella entered the room with slow and steady steps, her golden heels, clinking against the marbled floor. 

She was wearing a full-sleeved, floor length gown. It was a champagne golden gown made of tulle with a matching lining that covered her body except for the sleeves which were completely see through. The deep v-neck of dress was showing her exquisite clavicles. The gown had a A-line cut, hugging her waist perfectly and showing her hourglass figure. The dress was decorated with golden pearls and beads, making it unique and elegant. 

Her hairs were let down, falling into waves over her back and shoulders, framing her small face which was covered with minimal makeup. She had applied a golden brown eyeshadow over her eyelids where the corners had some black shade blended with the golden one, along with the eyeliner and mascara. Her cheeks were tinted with a shade of soft pink blush while her cheekbones were highlighted, glowing under the pale light of the living room. She had applied some rosy lip shade over her lips. She was not wearing any jewelry except for the ring that he had given her. The golden ring which had a single small diamond in the centre, compliment the elegant dress.

Adam looked at her with an awestruck expression. Though the dress was not exposing much of her skin, it still made her look seductive yet innocent.

Stella took slow steps towards Adam who was still sitting on the couch. When she was right before him, he returned back to his senses and stood. His eyes never leaving her face. Stella held the lapels of his coat and put a feather shaped golden pin on the left side which matched with her dress. 

After putting the pin securely she once again fixed the lapels. 

"I got this for you. Do you like it?" She looked up at him with hopeful eyes, her hands still resting over his chest. She had bought this pin the last week when they went out for shopping. The little pin had caught her eyes and she quietly bought it when went out of the store to pick up a call. She wanted to give it to him but couldn't find the right moment to. This seems like the perfect moment to.

Adam was still lost in his own world, admiring the beauty before him. Stella pinched his nose bridge to bring him back out of his thoughts. 

"Do you like it?" She asked him once again, pointing her finger at the pin.

"Of course I do." Adam replied as he wrapped his arms around her petite waist. 

"You haven't even looked at it yet." Stella pouted at his reply. 

"I will like anything that you give me sweetheart." Adam added with a toothy grin.

Stella continued her pouting as her eyebrows furrowed. Adam heaved out a sigh and finally looked at the pin. Though it was a simple one, but he liked it. It was something that he would have chosen for himself as well.

"I love it." He replied looking at the girl in his arms. He placed a soft kiss on the tip of her nose. 

Stella's lips broke into a smile like a child who had just gotten his favorite toy. In her moment of happiness, she hugged Adam. Her head resting on his shoulder while her arms were wrapped around his broad back.

Adam's smile widened at her actions and he hugged her back quietly.

"Hey!!!!" Stella greeted Blake who had just joined the couple. He had an arm wrapped around a girl's waist. It was the same girl about which she had confronted Blake. Lillian. She was wearing a bright red spaghetti strap dress which had a long slit on the right side. She was sporting a pair of matching high heels and her lips were painted with a bright red lip color. Her hairs were tied up in a bun, exposing her slender neck. She was looking like a seductress. 

"Hey, Lillian." Stella greeted her with a wide smile on her face.

Adam only nodded at the duo.

"So, she said yes, didn't she?" Stella asked, turning her head towards Blake.

"She did." Blake replied with a grimace. "She said yes to be my partner for tonight." He continued after a pause.

Stella chuckled at his reaction. 

"Don't give up so easily. You just have to work hard for it." Adam interrupted.

"Yeah, yeah! I know." Blake replied with a pout.

Lillian, who was standing with them quietly, only shook her head at her Boss' reaction. She sometimes wonder how could he, who can kill someone without batting his eyes, can be so childish at times. She heaved out a sigh, her eyes set on the man who was holding her by her waist.

Her eyes suddenly turned sharp when she saw a certain someone approaching them.
