Chapter 117 - I Love It

Stella moved her eyes to look into the direction he was pointing and felt her heart skip a beat at the scene before her.

Before her were three small room like cabins which were a few feet above the ground. There were surrounded by a thick green small trees and plants bearing colorful wild flowers. 

The three rooms were at a distance from each other and were connected together by a rope bridge which had star shape fairy lights wrapped around the ropes. Since it was late in the evening,the lights were turned on, illuminating the path formed by the wooden planks. 

Stella was mesmerized by the beauty of the place. She couldn't take eyes off it, even if she wanted to.

"Do you like it? If not, then we can move to a hotel room." Adam's voice brought her out of her daze. 

"What!!! Are you kidding me?" Stella replied with a horrified expression on her face. "We aren't going anywhere. I love it." She continued, earning a bright smile from him, one which showed off his pearly white teeth.

"I am glad that you like it." Adam wrapped both his arms around her waist from behind and placed a kiss on her shoulder. 

"We will like to rest for now. I will call the staff if we need anything." Adam added, turning his head to the five men standing at the sidelines, one of which was the manager of the place. 

"As you wish, Sir." The manger politely replied, bowing his head a little. "Your luggage has already been placed in the living room." He continued as he flicked his fingers, asking the other four men to leave and soon followed them after wishing the couple to enjoy their vacation.

Adam took her hand, interlocking his fingers with hers, and guided her to the flight of stairs before the first room. 

The first room was a bit bigger than the second one but smaller than the last. It was like a living room cum dining room as there was a small couch placed against one of the wooden walls and a dining table placed at the other corner, next to the window which was looking over the beach that was in the distance. There were only two chairs accompanying it.

Stella saw their luggage placed before the couch next to a small side table. 

As if reading her mind, Adam spoke up. 

"Someone will take care of it, you don't have to trouble yourself with such trivial matters. Just enjoy yourself." 

"Thank you." Stella looked at him her eyes filled with gratitude. 

"I didn't bring clothes for a vacation. There are suitable for a conference." She continued as if remembering something. She looked accusingly at Adam, glaring daggers at him. 

Adam chuckled as he rubbed her forehead. His little kitty can be fierce sometimes. 

"That has been taken care of. Come with me." He grabbed her by her shoulders and took her to the next room after crossing the rope bridge. 

A single circular mattress was placed in the centre of the room, directly on the wooden floor. It was covered by a white silk bed sheets and pillows and cushions with floral prints on them, were settled on it.

There were two windows located on either side of the mattress with white and sky blue satin curtains.

A number of leds were fixed inside the roof which were giving out a pale white light, illuminating the whole room. 

There was a door located on the other side of the room which lead to the third room and you have to a rope bridge to reach there as well. 

"You can rest for now. I have something to take care of." Adam spoke up.

Since the duo had already showered and changed their clothes on the plane a while before it touched the ground, there was no need for them to freshen up again and they could just rest.

"You are leaving?" Stella's smile turned upside down.

"I will be back before you even know it." Adam replied rubbing the back of her head. 

Stella could only nod her head. 

"Hey! What's with this face?" Adam rubbed his strong fingers over her frown, trying to ease it. 

"Do you have to go?" Stella pursed her lips in a pout. 

"You know I wouldn't have if I didn't have to. I would love to snuggle up against you and sleep rather than doing anything else. But this is really important. It wouldn't take much of my time." Adam placed a lingering kiss over her pouty lips. 

"Alright! Don't take too long." Stella gave him a soft smile. 'How could he just coax me with a bunch of simple words?' She thought inwardly.

"I won't." Adam replied before leaving her on her own. But he didn't forget to kiss her one more time before he left. 

Stella looked at his parting figure and heaved out a tired sigh. Why was she missing him already?

Once he was out of her sight, she took off her shoes and jumped on the mattress. Covering herself with the duvet, which had a floral print, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
