"You gotta be kidding me..." The pain in Stella's lower back radiated to her heart, pinching her every second. Stella couldn't concentrate on anything else but his perfectly shaved face, who was trying harder not to stare at Stella's.
"You are an idiot, who drops out of college to support his boyfriend. For fuck sake, you thought we would marry. Bitch you have lost your marbles." She thought of these words that slaughtered the sensations in her body, and she was left numb, with eyes widened to the fullest, and her shattered fantasies dropped from those blue eyes one after the other.
"Baby, look at me. Why are you crying." Adam immediately mourned because he could see her suffer now. "Stella..." Adam asked, wiping her tears and using a little force on her jawline with his palm to tilt her head in his direction.
"You are an idiot, complete idiot. Anyone can play you, idiot..." Those words shook her whole life, dreams, and future. Stella resisted with her stiff neck, but Adam softly yelled as he was buried in his guilt for causing this, "STELLA BABY..."
This time Adam's voice was enough to yank Stella out of the shock, as she turned her head in his direction, "I--" Stella found her voice stuck inside her, but those shiny hazel blue eyes filled with tears were so wide because they carried those shattered dreams for far too long. And Adam could easily look through them.
"Fu*k yourself, Eric, I told you to get a doctor. Do not stand here like a dickhead." Adam yelled from the side of Stella's shoulder. For a second Stella blinked her eyes moving the tears out, and gazed up at Adam's face, with unflinching eyes this time.
"He is just outside. I will tell him to get in." Eric had been working for a few days, and that was the first time Adam blurted on him, and that was because of the girl he used to call, Idiot.
Adam moved his hand from her shoulder, cupped her face in his palms, and dragged those tears away as soon they dared to fall from her eyes with his thumbs. "I love you, I can't see you cry. For my sake. No, I mean you don't like me. Anyhow for the sake of the person you like please just stop crying." This time his words caught Stella off guard. The pinching on her heart stopped.
Stella couldn't let Adam leave her sight. She held onto Adam's hands, sighed, and broke into hiccups saying, "Ad--Adam.." Stella called his name again twice, "Adam…" "Adam…" and she pressed her eyes close as the tears found their way out once again, and Adam was quick to wipe them.
"What is wrong baby? Look at me. Stella don't shut your eyes on me again." Adam said while nodding his head. Adam placed his hands back on Stella's shoulder, positioning her again on the wood support as he saw the doctor coming in, "I am going to make your life hell if you don't do something to ease her pain."
The doctor quickly ran to Stella's side and started to examine her.
"Mr. Kingston, Paul is on the line for you." Eric extended his hand, holding the phone toward Adam. Adam first glared at his face, making sure he knows that he offended him by acting sluggish. Adam pulled his hand from Stella's shoulder and moved an inch back, but he witnessed the miracle transpire, "Don't leave me, Adam." Stella extended her hand toward Adam. She wanted him this time.
Adam could see Stella barely having consciousness, he held her hand tightly and planted a soft kiss on the back of her hand saying, "I will be back in a minute, Baby." Adam put her hand back in place, took the phone a little aggressively from Eric's hand, and stepped out of the room.
Eric took the matter into his own hands and walked to Stella's side. Stella fought harder with herself and continued to look at the doctor.
Eric went a little close to her and pretended to set the pillows as the doctor was busy turning her foot in a few directions. "Baby, ahhhh.... so tell me if you want to know how many babies he threw wrapped in a condom or the babies he takes to his bed every night. I keep the journal about it." Eric whispered a taunt near her ear, and the moment he saw the doctor gazing up at him, he pressed a fake smile on his face and said, "Madam are you comfortable? Do I need to get you anything?" Stella lost the battle of sanity and looked at his face in disgust.
But the words from the other corner soothed her unsettling sentiments, " How is she doing now?" Adam asked as he entered, and Eric quickly moved to the back. Stella sighed in comfort this time.
"I will give her a shot now. Madam will feel better. I have ordered the medicine, and it will be here in no time." Said the doctor while arching his back.
"Good," Adam again tucked himself next to Stella, tossing his phone back to Eric, and roared,
"Stop being lazy..."
Stella wasted no minute and hurled herself on Adam's chest, she sighed when the doctor gave her the shot but calmed herself when she felt Adam's fingers running in a rhythm along her scalp.
Stella had someone to lean on as she was in the arm of the person who called her all good names. But Eric had planted a seed of doubt in Stella's heart.
Soon a woman entered and placed the medicines on the side table and bowed in respect in front of Adam Kingston. The doctor silently asked for permission to leave, as he saw Stella resting peacefully on Adam's chest.
Adam looked at Eric, and then to the door. Eric knew it was a signal to go out now. Eric had no idea about how his idiot ex ended up in his Master's bed? But he knew he would make her life miserable.
Stella heard the door shut, and she opened her eyes, she could peek into Adam's front pocket, Stella had known Adam for a few days, and she was right on his chest, crying a river of emotions.
"Adam..." Stella shoved the lump in her throat to the side and finally said his name clearly.
"Yes, This time talk to me about it." Adam continued massaging her scalp but this time added an extra sugary kiss on her hair.
"What about Natalia? Your actual girlfriend." Stella voiced as she found her lips dry suddenly and rolled her tongue over them.
"Baby Stella?" Adam rested his chin on her head putting slight pressure and halted his fingers tingling her scalp.
"Yes." Said Stella rubbing her head on his pecs slightly.
"Why this place looks like someone was renovating it and stopped midway? Why the kitchen is all furnished but the cabinets look empty?" Adam had his doubts too.
Stella for a second forced her head beneath his chin, she kept quiet and rested her head back to his pecs. Her eyes were heavy with the anguish from the past and the shot the doctor gave her.
