"Valerie! Why her? What is she to you that you keep insisting on having her around all the time? Adrian slowly let go of Stella's waist.
"Are you already bored staying with me?" Adrian turned away from Stella and stared beyond the vast and peaceful mini forest surrounding his house. He didn't want Stella to see the hurt and irritation in his eyes.
Stella felt a cold breeze blast against her face, sending a cold chill down her spine making her stutter as she replied to Adrian.
"I...she is m...my friend and...I... I am not bored staying with you. I...I'm sorry if you feel upset." Stella stared down at her black stilettos heels which she hadn't noticed she was still wearing until now.
Adrian felt angry at himself for making Stella feel bad at her request. Although he didn't understand the weird bond between Valerie and Stella, he decided to give in to her request in other to maintain the smile on her face.
