My Little Sunshine

"No! I cannot bring myself to do it. What if she doesn't feel anything for me in return? Even the thought of it scares me." Blake replied to her, staring out of the glass windows.

"But you have to give it a try." Stella interrupted his thoughts. "When I first joined the office, I used to think that Adam treating me good, is just a normal thing. Even though at times I used to think why would someone like Adam needed to treat me good. And I knew the answer to it. It's just, I forced myself to turn a blind eye to it. Everything was going okay, but Adam had to confess about his feelings for me. It turned my world upside down. No matter how hard I tried to ignore his advances, I just couldn't do it then." 

"You should give it a go." Stella advised him. 

"Alright! I will try my luck." Blake was finally getting the courage that he was lacking in the last two years. The first time he laid his eyes on Lillian, he was smitten by her. He felt an attraction towards her which slowly developed into something deep as time passed by. Now, he could not even imagine spending a day without seeing her. That was the sole reason he stayed at the club and not his penthouse. Staying here means he could see her as much as he wants to.

"Best of luck to you then." Stella raised her glass, wishing him luck.

Blake clinked his glass against hers. "Thank you." 

Just as they were discussing about Adam's childhood, the door opened once again. This time it was Katherine. She sprinted towards Stella.

"I am so happy to see you." She hugged Stella, almost squeezing the life out of the poor girl.

"So am I." Stella replied as she patted her back in a friendly manner.

"What are you doing here by the way?" Katherine asked her as she settled down on the couch, making Stella sit next to her. 

"I was bored and didn't have anything to do. So, I thought why not come here." Stella replied to her as a faint smile graced her lips. 

"You did the right thing." Katherine was more than delighted to hangout with the little lady. She finally had a friend who wasn't with her because of her money and fame. She knew for sure that Stella wasn't someone like that. If she was, she wouldn't have been able to catch Adam's attention, let alone making him crazy about her. 

When she arrived at the party that night, she had heard Adam talking to Blake about her. The way he spoke about her wasn't something she had expected from Adam, out of all people. She could see the tenderness his eyes held when he was talking about how happy it made him when she had said yes to his proposal, and that he was happy that he had confessed his feelings to her.

She was genuinely happy for Adam. She and Blake were a year older than him, so she had always treated him like a little brother.

As the two girls chatted happily over wine, Blake left them on their own. He was now in his room which was located at the far end of the hallway. 

He called Lily in his room. After two minutes she knocked at his door once and entered.

"You called for me?" She asked him as she made her way to him, who was lying down on the bed wearing a pair of black trousers, his muscular torso was exposed for her to see. She wasn't bothered by the sight at all for she had seen him in less than this. 

"Ask someone to serve them some snacks and make sure Stella doesn't drink herself crazy or else Adam will kill me." Blake told her as he motioned her to come close to him.

She complied and went to sit on the bed, next to him. 

"I want to take you somewhere out." Blake added as he leaned against the headrest.

"What do you mean?" Lillian gave him a glare.

"You know what I mean. You aren't that dumb. And neither am I. I know you were standing outside the door when I was talking to Stella." Blake yanked her hand towards himself. She crashed down on his muscular chest, her hands resting over his broad shoulders. She could feel the toned muscles under her fingers. 

"You heard it all, didn't you?" Blake gave her a scathing glare. "Did you think I wouldn't know it with my senses."

"Do what I just asked you to and don't worry, I will make you say yes, one way or another." He gave her an evil grin which made shivers run down her spine.

No matter how good of a man he was, she knew him better than anyone else except for his childhood friend. Even his sister didn't know him well enough. 

But she owed him her life. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have been alive today. And she knew for sure that no matter what, he would never hurt her. 

"Yes, Boss." She replied to him without any expressions on her face.
