Book 2 of The Adeline Series
after a while of silence. It was just us beneath the billions of stars, then Tom pointed his hand to a bright shining star
" that star is called Adeline," he said, marking my name.
I laughed loudly and shook my head...

It's been a few hours and our hair is almost done
the woman who is braiding my hair has been so nice to me that she compliments my hair and my face every time. It m akes me smile and blush and I thank them every time
I decided to go for the simple ones that would suit me, it was painful but luckily Tom stayed beside me
I would tightly grip my hand around his whenever the braid gets too painful, sometime his hand almost turns to painful but he never complained or even show a painful expression
" almost done, princess," he says.
I nodded my head and smiled at him as he raised my hand and placed a kiss on my knuckles, I was lucky to have Tom beside me. Whenever I got hungry he would buy me what I wanted and come back
When Kate's hair was done, I gasped to see how beautiful it was and it suited her short hair
She smiled and put on her sunglasses while turning to Georg. Gustav was drinking and he was happy with how his hair braid turned out
Bill was somewhere on the island, probably on a date with the handsome waitress from the last night.
" you two married? " the native woman asks. I turned to Tom and felt my entire face go red when he locked eyes with me, I looked away and chuckle
" not yet– "
" soon... I'll marry her, soon " Tom replied to the woman
her smile got bigger as I threw him a playful glare. I look down at my hand that his holding and the diamond ring shines, I never took it off
" all done! Beautiful " the woman said and gave me a mirror.
I look at my hair and gasp, I look up at her and smile in glee
" I love it! Thank you! " I said and touched my hair.
She smiled and took a basket of flowers before letting Tom choose one
he was confused about what to do with it until the woman told him to tuck it behind my ear. He smiled and did what she said
I giggled and attacked Tom with a kiss on his cheek, he helped me get up from the sand and paid the woman.
We left the place as the other people began getting their hair braided
"does it look beautiful on me? " I asked
and looked up to Tom who was walking beside me while holding my hands, he let out a chuckle
"Princess, how many times do I have to remind you that you always look beautiful no matter what? " Tom explains as the blush in my cheeks gets redder
I look down at the hands as the group walks together. The both of us stayed behind
" Will you still love me if I'm an ant? " I asked.
The question just popped into my brain and I couldn't help but not ask, he let out a loud laugh before pulling me closer to him
" of course, princess. Even if you are so tiny, I'll still take care and love you " he replies.
I imagined Tom leaning down to kiss me while I was a small ant and then I bit his lip, and that would hurt. I laughed at my silly imagination
" what if I'm an alien? A-and then my master Alien told me to go back to my real home and I had to leave the earth... Would you still wait for me? " I asked, he smiles
" I would wait for you until eternity, Adeline "
***************
When me and Tom were walking back to our suite, he was still holding my hands and not letting go.
I opened the door and I stopped in my tracks when I saw a woman inside our room
"V-Vanya, what are you doing here? " I asked in shock. Tom stood behind me, he also froze
Vanya's eyes were red and puffy, she stood from our bed and walked over to us. But to my confusion, she dyed her hair blond just like mine.
" m-my parents kicked me out, i-i heard you guys are staying here for a while and I have nowhere to stay " she cried.
I watched her, and part of me was saying that she was lying. She cried in her arms and I noticed that she only wearing a T-shirt and jean shorts
My heart skipped a beat when Ton let go of my hand
I watched him take his bath towel and wrap it around her shoulder. Jealousy rises in my chest
Vanya cried harder and suddenly threw herself on his chest, Tom looked at me with the same confusion. But he slowly wrapped his arm around her back
"We can get you another room," I said.
Trying to hide the pain in my voice, I looked away. I couldn't bear another girl being close to Tom's chest while his arm was wrapped around her
" n-no please, I feel so unsafe and scared " Vanya begged.
I looked back to Tom and he nodded his head at me, I took a deep breath and decided to walk away from the scene
I opened my closet to find some clothes that she could wear, I could hear Tom begin to talk to her but it was quiet and I couldn't hear what they were saying. I found one of my sweaters and pants
I walked out of the room and placed the clothes on our bed
" the bathroom is there, feel free to use it " I said.
Vanya sniffled and glanced at tom before taking my clothes and walked out without saying anything to me
I didn't feel okay that she's here, I begin to worry. But I trust Tom
He walked over me and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me to his chest and embracing me.
I took a deep breath and let my thoughts be washed away, eventually, my arms automatically hugged him back
