Chapter 164 - Greece It Is Then

Thursday night,

"We won't be going to the office tomorrow." Adam spoke next to Stella's ear as he pulled her closer to himself. 

Stella was lying on top him with her head resting on his chest, her left ear pressed against it as she listened to the rhythmic beating of his heart.

"Why?" Stella folded her hands over his chest and then placed her face over them. She looked at him quizzically. 

"Because we will be going out of the country." Adam replied to her as he ran his fingers through the locks of her hair. 

"Why are we going out of the country? Another business trip?" She asked him. 

"No, it's not some business trip. I want to take you out. Do you remember what Wilson said? He asked you to take some rest, so we will be going to some peaceful place where you can rest and enjoy at the same time." Adam explained it to her. 

"I could rest and enjoy here as well, Adam. You just need to ask my boss to give me off for a day or two." She smiled at him cheekily. 

Adam pinched her nose playfully before speaking up. "But your Boss wants you to go and have a great vacation with him this weekend." 

"Does it have to be this weekend? Can't we do it next week?" Stella frowned as she asked him. 

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Adam narrowed his eyes at him.

"Forgetting what?" Stella looked at him questioningly.

"What date is it on Saturday?" He asked her with a meaningful smirk to make Stella recall on her own.

Stella pursed her lips as she mentally calculated it. "Isn't it 11th of September?" She raised her eyebrows with a casual tone. 

"It is. But does something important fall on that date? Or maybe something important happened on the 11th of September." He tried impatiently to make her realize on her own.

Stella blinked her eyes a couple of times as she tried to think hard about what Adam was referring to, the frown between her eyebrows deepened with each passing second.

A couple of minutes later, she jutted her lips in a pout and gave Adam a lost look. 

Adam shook his head before heaving out a sigh. "Well, my history isn't that good either, but for starters let's just say a guy named Adam Levinson was born on 11th of September." He spoke up, making Stella widen her eyes.

"I-I-I….." Stella tried to say something in response, but the words refused to come out of her mouth just like her brain who refused to work at the moment.

Looking at the guilt written on her face, Adam patted the top of her head lovingly. "It's alright baby girl if you didn't remember it. I never told you the date of my birthday before, how could you remember it then." He gave her a wide toothy smile, trying to cheer her up. 

Looking at his loving expression, the guilt showing on Stella's face worsened. She buried her face in his chest and muttered an apology. "I am sorry." 

"It's no big deal, my love." Adam replied, patting her back softly. "I forgot to mention the main reason for telling you about the trip. Where do you want to go?" He asked her.

Stella tilted her face up and gave him a questioning look.

"I want you to choose our destination." Adam added as if getting her unspoken query.

"But it's your birthday. You should be the one to choose our destination." Stella furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

"All I want is to spend my time with you sweetheart. As long as I am with you, I will be happy, no matter where I am." Adam spoke up, gazing into her hazel orbs. 

"Moreover, Hawaii was my choice. I want you to choose this time." He added, tapping her forehead. "So, hurry up. Choose one." 

Stella gnawed on her lower lip and only stopped when Adam pulled it out using his thumb. "You are going to make it bleed." He reprimanded her. 

Stella pouted and went back to her thoughts. After thinking for two more minutes, she finally spoke up. "Umm…. What about Greece? I have always wanted to go there?" 

"Greece it is then. I know a perfect place there. I am sure you will definitely love it." Adam replied, giving her bright smile. 

Stella felt her senses going numb as she focused on his smile. Everytime he smiled at her like this, her heart would flutter and her mind would go haywire. 

She slowly moved her lips closer to his and gently placed them on his. She slowly moved her soft lips against his firm ones, but as she began to deepen the kiss, he moved his face from her. Stella looked at him and frowned. 

"As much as I want to continue baby girl, I can't. I won't be able to stop myself and your body needs some rest." He added, giving her an apologetic look. 

Stella huffed and moved away from him before turning her back towards him. 

Adam smiled before he shifted closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her towards him with a little bit of force, making her back crash into his firm chest. 

"Sleep now, it's already late." He murmured against her skin as he placed a kiss behind her left ear, followed by another and then another. He knew it was one of her weak spots. He continued peppering it with kisses until he felt her body melting against his own. 

"What about the arrangements for our trip?" Stella asked him as she tried to stifle a yawn. 

"I will do it tomorrow, early in the morning. You don't need to worry about them." He muttered against the nape of her neck, sending tingles down her spine. 

Stella hummed. "Good night." 

"Good night to you too, my little elf. Sweet dreams." He wished her before kissing the same spot one more time.
