♡ Chapter 20 ♡

The next morning she woke up really early. Saw the sun rise slowly. It was so elegant. Wanted to make a video and send it to Zach but that would be too long to send.

So she's just enjoying the view on her own. Now she is taking some photos of the sky and sun. She sends all those to Zach and he comes online.

"Whoa, what a timing Zach." Stella messages. "Good morning my lady."

"G'morning." Stella replied. "How's my love feeling? Did he have a good night sleep?" Stella asked

"Yes, of course." Zach replied. "And what about you my lady?"

"Never had any better sleep." Stella calls him after saying that. Zach ain't answering the call.

'Weird...he was just online' Stella wonders. She calls again. No answer? Zach has his phone on his hands. Literally crying of something, he doesn't know. Why's he been crying whole night.

Last night he was thinking about marrying Stella and suddenly a thought of 'parents' came into his mind. Parents are there when you marry your love. They stay there for you to help. Unlike others, he had a childhood without any memories with parents. All he can remember is they died. That night. Because of him!? He's felt so left alone. He doesn't even know why. He couldn't even control his feelings those were coming out of nowhere. "Please stop!" he shouted on his own.

Broke all the glasses those were on the table just in a second. Screamed so loud after thinking he'd lose Stella too. He'd lose everything and everybody he loves. That's all he felt. But the rising of the sun slowly made him comfortable. He also enjoyed the view. Finally those thoughts were leaving slowly. But he was still crying a little while Stella was calling. That's why he couldn't answer it. He just kept looking at the phone.

"Stella, I love this name so much." He whispered on his own.

After being able to talk he called Stella.

"Hi... why didn't you picked up my call, hmm?" "I didn't noticed and also it was silent, I'm sorry." Zach lied again. He thinks he was born to lie.

"It's okay Zach. You just got me wondering where did you vanished?" Stella said.

"Love you, my lady." Zach said while kissing on the phone.

Stella replied happily "Love you too my highness."

Slowly they started talking about prom. "Finally I got to kiss you and eat your lipstick along with your lip. And also... I got to see your birthmark. You never told me you had one, that too this much beautiful, my lady... were you shy to show me that cuz its on your back?"

Stella blushed and said, "Yeah I was...a teensy bit. And also forgot to tell you cebause I was always busy thinking about you. Thinking about you is the best part of my day I could even forget I had a birthmark."

Both of them laughs and talk almost for 2 hours then mum enters Stella's room.

As soon as Stella realizes someone is entering the room she just cuts the call and pretends as if she was just playing games in her phone.

"What are you doing!?" Deborah shouted. "You shouldn't be lying on your bed till 10 am. Don't you have anything to study for?"

"Why are you shouting like this? I'm just playing games!" Stella replied. Her feelings just got worse. She was happier just a minute ago.

"Don't you forget that you have an examination to give. Then I'll make your admission to a great university." Deborah reminded her that she'll be gone from here soon.

She'll shift to another country cuz her mum decided to do a better job there. Also there was better opportunity for a single mum like Deborah to get her children educated. Stella just remembered how hard her mum has to work here and also how she wants her to get a scholarship.

"Are you even listening Stella!?" Deborah was saying what Stella was just thinking. Stella nods a yes.

"Come down to have your breakfast then lock yourself up to study. Keep your phone to me until your done studying." Deborah went downstairs saying these.

Stella sighs. She messages Zach that she won't be able to talk for a few hours. Then she goes downstairs, have her breakfast. And come upstairs giving her phone to mum.
