Chapter 138 - Can't Help Falling In Love

Adam stretched his hands in the air before cracking his knuckles and neck. He had been typing on his laptop for more than two hours now. His fingers and neck had become stiff, his shoulders muscles had become taut as well. 

He could have asked anyone to prepare the draft of this contract, but this one was way more important to him.

He looked at his wrist watch and his lips broke into soft smile. It was time to pick up his little elf. He was getting used to having her around him all the time, and a couple of hours away from her felt like an eternity. 

He picked up his coat and car keys before heading downstairs. 

After getting in his car, he turned on the GPS and typed in the bar's location. The GPS showed him the fastest route to his destination It wasn't that far away from the office which was definitely a good thing for him. It mean that he didn't have to wait long to see his beloved.

"You are so much whipped Adam Levinson." He muttered under his breath before driving the car towards the bar. 

Adam pulled up his car before the entrance of a bar which wasn't too shabby. He picked up his phone and dialed her number. 

"I am outside." He spoke into the phone's speaker as soon as the call was connected. 

"I will be there in a minute. Let me say goodbye to everyone." Her soft voice came through, reaching the deepest part of his heart.

"I will be waiting." He added before disconnecting the call.

After two minutes, he saw her coming out of the bar. As her eyes landed on the car, her lips broke into a sweet smile. 

Adam saw her making her way towards the car. He took off his seatbelt before leaning his body towards the passenger seat. Just as her fingers brushed against the door's handle, he opened it from inside. 

"I missed you." Her words resonated in the quietness of the car. 

Adam, who was busy putting on her seatbelt, stopped his actions abruptly. 

"What did you say?" He asked her, gazing into her hazel orbs.

"I missed you." She repeated her words from earlier with a cheeky smile.

"I missed you too." Adam placed a feather like kiss on her lips before securing her seat belt.

After putting on his own seat belt, he turned on the ignition and drove away from the bar.

"How much did you drink?" Adam asked her, his eyes were fixed on the road ahead.

"I just had two bottles of beer." Stella replied as she connected her phone with the sound system of the car.

Adam hummed and glanced at her for a mere second before turning his attention back to the road.

"What do you want to listen to?" She asked him as she scrolled through her playlist.

"Play whatever you like babygirl, I will listen to it." Adam replied. 

"Alright." He heard her say before the soft music of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" filled the car. 

Adam turned his head to look at her only to find her already looking at him. 

Her hazel eyes were blazing with emotions, burning his soul as he stared back into them. 

'Wise men say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?'

Adam couldn't take it anymore and pulled the car over, stopping it at the side of the interstate. 

He unbuckled both of their seat belts and pulled her over to himself, making her sit on his lap.

Stella had her legs on either side of his as she faced him. Her face was growing hot as each second ticked by. Even though Adam was only holding her by her waist, her breathing was becoming uneven. 

Adam was only gazing into her eyes, his gray eyes colliding with her hazel ones. 

None of them said anything as they quietly listened to the lyrics of the song playing in the background.

'Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you'

The silence between them said much more than what words could convey. 

Adam leaned close to her and hit the repeat button before the song could even end. 

'Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

For I can't help falling in love with you'

His gaze shifted to her lips, which were slightly parted, inviting him to claim them. He bit her lower lip when he saw her tongue moving over her lower lip, trying to wet the slightly chapped lip. 

He wanted to do so much to her at that moment. He wanted to make her his, claim her body and soul. He wanted to be the only thing which clouded her mind. But he was holding back, and it took all of his self control to do that. He wanted her to take the first step. He wanted to follow her lead this time. 

He could sense the desire building up in her body. He could see her dilated pupils as she looked at his lips. He could feel her muscles becoming stiff under the tips of his fingers even though he barely moved them. He could feel her breaths becoming uneven and heavier, and yet he didn't close the gap between their lips which were mere inches away.

"You jerk." He heard Stella curse him before she closed the distance between them, clashing her lips against his as the song began to play from the start. 

'Wise men say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?'

Their breaths mingled as the soft kiss turned into a more passionate one.
