Stella came home after work with sturdy shoulders, aching muscles, and a brain crammed with the reflections of one person, Adam Kingston.
"I wonder what he would be doing in his fancy penthouse. It felt like I was living in another dimension for some time. Why am I feeling all heated up?" Stella tapped her palms a few times on her cheeks as she stepped inside her apartment. She quickly turned after shutting the door and switched on the lights.
The house looked a mess because Susan looked thoroughly and took the stuff she needed or the things she could have sold to get a few bucks.
Stella brushed away a couple of things and crashed straight on the couch, which instantly produced a creaked sound, " Now you hate me too like the rest of them..." Stella let a deep groan out and again talked to the couch, "Can't you be like Adam, and just accept me the way I am." Stella may have said the great words this morning, but at the same time, she wanted Adam.
Suddenly, Stella heard the door knock. She got up and thought, "At this time?" Stella knew that this time only the landlord, other debt collectors, or the neighbors could be here asking for their money. She decided to stick to her place and again flattened on the couch carefully so it won't make a sound.
The door got knocked again. She didn't answer and said, "Please go away now." in a light voice that barely reached her ears.
She again heard the knocking sound. This time Stella remained just calm with her eyes shut and back fixed on the couch until she heard the door open itself, and a voice echoed, which shook her poor soul, "Baby, why won't you open the door for me? I just had to do it myself."
"How on earth did you enter, Adam?" Stella trembled in fear and yelled at Adam, throwing a cushion at him, which missed by just an inch.
"Through the door," Adam replied with guiltless consciousness, pointing his finger toward the entrance. As if he did nothing out of context.
"Are you serious? I live alone. I, am a woman you can't just barge in." Stella widened her eyes at him and drove herself a step back because Adam wasn't ready to stand a hairsbreadth from her.
" Now, that is why I am here. Because you live alone and you are a woman. See, enough reasons." Adam's raised his brows at her and snaked his lengthy muscled arm on her thin waist, pulling her close, and smashed his lips onto her bouncy dry lips.
Stella pressed her eyes closed and moved her tongue rhythmically as Adam did. Stella yearned the whole day for him or the way he made her feel in just one night. And defying his charms seemed to be a difficult task for her.
Stella at first submitted to his soft touch, but she suddenly pulled herself back, with a gap between her wet lips, opened her eyes, and gazed up to Adam's face silently.
"Tell me once that you didn't miss me, you did not think of me. Just once." Adam brought his hand forward and stroked his thumb on the seam of her lower lip.
Stella turned to the other side and slightly shrugged her shoulders.
Adam tightened his grip on her waist and with his other hand hoisted her shirt a little up, petting his fingers on her belly buttons.
Stella fixed her back against Adam's chest and her breath slightly fastened as his hand went up toward her nipples.
" Adam, I want you..."
The moment Adam heard these words coming out of Stella, his self-esteem talked to him which got wounded in the morning,
"That's what I wanted, dimwit said that. Fu*k." Adam drove his hand from her waist to his back pocket and checked if the ring he brought here to propose to her was still there.
" I don't need that anymore. OH, you bloody Adam Kingstone fuck her soul tonight, fuck this dimwit deep. She is crushing over me now. I will leave her wanting for me every second." Adam was disturbed in his thoughts as Stella moaned louder because his fingers were still playing around those perky nipples.
Before Adam could again curl his other hand around her, Stella turned on one heel with her eyes closed and said, " Adam..."
in a soft silky voice and rested her head on his pecs.
" Yes..." Adam pulled her closer, with a victorious laugh that Stella couldn't see. Adam was relishing himself now, as he felt his bulge grow hard against Stella's navel.
" It all deems good with eyes closed, like an actual fantasy. But when you open your eyes the reality hits you harder. I DO WANT YOU SO BADLY, LIKE EVERY TIME. FOR ME, ITS JUST ESCAPING THE REALITY. You need to leave after that Adam." Stella hummed near his shoulder as her lips were brushed against his dark brown suit while saying that.
The reality struck Adam bitterly on his self-esteem, his pupil dilated, and his fingers around her nipples froze. Adam stood there in shock and asked himself,
"Did I hear right? She asked me to leave in the morning."
Adam, witnessed Stella bearing her weight on her toes, lifting herself, planting a soft kiss near Adam's neck with her eyes still closed, "What does she think of herself? None of my charms attracts her. This dimwit is using Adam Kingston as a casual fuck. She is not intimidated by me. It's just not me. Not The Adam Kingston. She is just poorly distracted by me."
This time Adam pulled himself back, took his hands off her body, and stepped one foot back with a long face. Because Adam had his eyes wide open and saw the reality this time.
" What? Are you okay?" Asked Stella biting her lower lip. She looked a little uncomfortable because of his behavior.
" I just saw her and wanted to taste her and deviated from the actual plan. I need to use the ring strategy now." Adam thought to himself, with a sober face, and replied, " No, It's just I am hungry? Have you had dinner yet?" Adam tried to cover for his doings.
" What?"
" What? You have never heard the word dinner before."
" Yeah. Okay, UHHMM" Stella licked around her lips, tucked her hair behind her ear, and said, " I can make pasta."
"Sounds good to me.." Adam was trying not to look at her because this time Stella completely knocked him out with her words. He looked around and saw the mess lying around which he didn't notice before. Adam wanted one thing out of that mess and that was Stella.
Stella shrugged her shoulders and walked to the kitchen without saying a word because she felt awkward.
Adam took his coat off and couldn't think of a place to put his coat but then thought, " I just have to adjust in here for a while, like her. Yeah, I can do it." With that, Adam tossed his coat on the chair. Looked uncomfortably around the living area again and followed Stella to the kitchen.
"Are you familiar with the term cleaning?" Adam teased as he entered the kitchen space and walked around, opening one cabinet after the other and finding all of them nearly empty.
Stella already stood near the stove boiling the pasta. "I don't have time for that." Stella turned to look back finding Adam peeking inside the cabinets and said, " You, forgot to check the upper ones." and laughed jiggling her head.
Adam didn't reply to her because he was masking his long face perfectly. Adam examined the dirty floor. He was confused, finding a clean floor near her where he could get on his knee before her and purpose her.
Adam stepped toward the refrigerator and saw bills, a few bank notices, and some handwritten notes of how much to pay to other people with their names. Adam looked deeply concerned as his eyes narrowed back on Stella and asked, " You don't have time right? So what do you exactly do?"
"Make a living," Stella replied without turning in his direction and continued with her poor cooking skills.
"I am sorry to break this to you, but you seriously need to make an actual living because whatever you are making is not enough to live," Adam said by pointing his finger toward the bills hung on the fridge.
Stella glared at him and walked up to the refrigerator with her hands on the sides of her love handles and defended herself," I have to struggle a lot. Unlike you."
" What?" Adam had heard enough already. He wasn't ready to tolerate another sharp word darted at his personality.
" Yeah," Stella nodded confidently.
" What? Say it." Adam asked for the shots.
" YEAH, You just have to breathe out of your lungs to live. That's it." Stella sighed as she said the words she wanted him to hear and marched back to the previous spot before he could react.
" Calm down. Don't mind what she said. Just do it now and stick to the plan, Adam. I have watched thousands of videos. How do other people purpose and the poor girl act all emotional? I just have to catch her off guard. Like she isn't expecting it but that's happening." Adam reassured his shattered self-esteem and again looked down on the dirty floor.
Adam drew the ring box out of his pocket, slightly pinched his dress pant up with his thumbs, rested his knee on the floor supporting the other one, and pulled the ring box at the front asking Stella,
" Can you turn Baby?"
