My Little Sunshine

Chapter 43: You Look Stunningly Beautiful

'Dress up! There's a driver waiting for you downstairs. You have an hour.'

Looking at the handwritten note, Stella was at a loss. "What is he up to now?" She thought out loud.

Taking off the white cloth that was covering the clothing rack, her eyes landed on a black dress that was hung down.

Her eyes widening in the process as she traced her fingers over it. Never had in her life, she has seen such a beautiful dress up this close.

'This must be very pricey.' She thought, looking for a price tag but couldn't find one. Picking up the bags, she placed them on the bed to have a look at their contents, only to find matching accessories to go with the dress including a pair of matching stilettos.

She looked up at the wall clock, heaving out a long sigh, she headed to the bathroom, she took a quick body shower as she didn't want to wet her hairs. 

After forty minutes or so, she was almost ready. She looked at her own reflection and was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe that the girl looking back at her was her own self. Grabbing the clutch that accompanied the dress, she went a beeline for downstairs. Just as the note had said, a driver was waiting for her in a black Maybach. She sat in the back, replying politely to the driver's greeting.

Half an hour later, the car pulled up before a quiet a place that was engulfed in darkness. Stepping out of the car, she looked around but couldn't see a thing out here. 

Just as she was about to call Adam, a number of fairy lights lit up, lighting up her surroundings. She looked around, her eyes landing on the man she has been looking for the entire day.

He stood at a distance of a few steps from her, dressed up in a midnight blue tailored suit. His hands were shoved in his dress pants' pockets, his head tilted slightly to his right as he stood there lazily looking at her.

Adam couldn't help but admire as he looked at her. The black silk dress, supported by two thin straps going over her shoulders, looked beautiful on her. It had a v-cut in the front, showing a bit of her cleavage but not too much. There was a long slit on the right that started from her upper thigh, exposing a fair skinned, slender leg along with the foot that was supporting a pair of black stilettos, strapped around her ankle. He noticed that she had done a minimalistic makeup but chose a dark maroon lip shade. Her hairs were let down, parted from the side. She had pinned the smaller section up, showing her ear that had a long golden feather like earring dangling down.

Taking huge strides towards her, covering the distance, he stopped right before her.

Picking up her hand that was resting by her side, he kissed the back of it. "You look stunningly beautiful." He said, making her blush in response.

"Let's go." He said following the cobbled stone path, taking her along. His hand now rest at her  lower back that was exposed because of the backless dress. 

As they turned around a corner, Stella could feel her breathing stop for a moment. She was completely awestruck by the scene before her.

There was a canopy like hut a few steps away from them, decorated with white lilies and more fairy lights. Under it, a dining table for two people was set with a bunch of red roses placed in a crystal vase in the center.

"It's beautiful." Stella spoke up after a while.

"I'm glad you like it." Adam replied, kissing the side of her head softly.

"Dinner will be served in a while." He said guiding her towards a chair. He pulled it out for her like a true gentleman, and after making sure that she was settled in comfortably, he made his way around the table, settling down opposite to her. 

"You were busy the entire day for this?" Stella couldn't help but ask him. "We could've had dinner on the rooftop if you wanted to eat out in the open." 

Adam nodded in response, "I wanted to make sure that everything will be perfect. And no, I wanted to make it special for you."

Listening to his reply, a sudden warmth spread through her. "Thank you. I love it." She said giving him her most honest smile.

"I am honored then." Adam winked at her, making her look down at her knotted fingers, resting on the table.

"Relax Stella, I won't eat you up. At least, not for now." He said looking at her, his eyes burning with desire. He was having second thoughts about his choice. He shouldn't have selected this dress for her, he was going crazy by just looking at her. 'Thank God, she didn't tie her hairs up or else I would have dragged her to somewhere private right now.' 

"For now, let's just do with the food." He added with a mischievous smile.
