My Little Sunshine

Chapter 74: Rich People And Their Ways

"Why do they have a dance floor here? Isn't it just an auction?" Stella spoke as she took a sip of her wine as her eyes looked at the dancing floor where people were dancing in pairs to some soft music playing in the background. They were now standing by one of the high tables in the far back of the hall.

"The auction will take place at some adjoining hall, this is just for the enjoyment of people." Adam replied as he looked at her.

"Rich people and their ways." Stella commented shaking her head softly with her lips pursed.

Hearing her remark Adam cleared his throat, bringing her attention back to him. 

Stella almost spilled out the wine in her mouth she just sipped as she heard him clearing his throat. 

"I-I-I. You know what I mean?" Stella gave him an apologetic smile. 

Adam chuckled at her reaction. "I know." He said patting her head only to get a deathly glare from her. 

"Don't mess my hair." She said swatting his hand away.

"May I have a dance with my girlfriend if she doesn't mind?" Adam asked her out of nowhere, extending his hand for her to hold. 

Though Stella wanted to decline since there were a lot of people around them, but looking at those gray eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no to him. Nodding her head slightly she put her hand into his extended one. 

Wrapping his fingers around the back of her hand, Adam guided her to the dance floor. He stopped in his tracks as he ushered a waiter and whispered something next to his ear and continued to head towards the dance floor with Stella in tow. 

Once they were in the centre of the dance floor, the lighting dimmed a bit and soft music started to play in the background.

Adam placed one of his arms on her lower back while the other continued holding onto her hand. She brought her closer to him and started moving her to the music. 

"I met you in the dark, you lit me up

You made me feel as though I was enough

We danced the night away, we drank too much

I held your hair back when

You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder

For a minute, I was stone-cold sober

I pulled you closer to my chest

And you asked me to stay over

I said, I already told ya

I think that you should get some rest"

Adam brought her closer to him, there was no gap in between them. Stella could feel her heart flutter when she looked into his eyes which were looking back at her, filled with tenderness and emotions that she couldn't comprehend. He continued moving their bodies to the song as he rested his forehead on hers, still gazing into those hazel eyes glowing brighter than the stars. 

"I knew I loved you then

But you'd never know

'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go

I know I needed you

But I never showed

But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old "

Adam sang along the line in his soft and husky voice. "But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old." 

Every single pair of eyes were now on the pair as they swayed along with the music. They were the only one dancing now as all of the other couples have stopped long before.

"Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed

I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head

And I'll take the kids to school

Wave them goodbye

And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night"

Adam placed a soft a peck on her forehead as the song continued.

"I wanna live with you

Even when we're ghosts

'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most

I'm gonna love you till

My lungs give out

I promise till death we part like in our vows

So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows

Finally it's just you and me till we're grey and old

Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go

Oh, just say you won't let go"

Adam brought his lips closer to her ear when the song ended. "Just say you won't let go." He whispered softly.

Stella opened her lips to say something in response but the lights turned on again bringing them out of their daze as everyone applauded for them. 

Adam nodded in gratitude as he picked up Stella's hand. Bringing it closer to his lips and placed a lingering kiss on the back of her hand.

Adam sauntered back to their table along with Stella. 

"You were saying something back there before everyone else interrupted our moment." Adam reminded her causing her open and close her mouth a couple of times.

"My, my. Who do we have here? I never knew that Mr. Adam Levinson could dance so well." A masculine voice interrupted the duo making them turn their heads to look at the owner of the voice.
