I blink my eyes and face palm myself. What is wrong with me jeez!. Why am I acting like this. He’s gonna be gone one day and he would never come back, so why am I acting like I miss him. I huff and get off the door. I walk back into my room and close the door. I lie on the bed and pull the duvet against my body. I sigh at the emptiness beside me. He wasn’t here to cuddle me, for me to breathe in his scent. I hug the pillow as I try to push the thoughts away. I mutter a quick prayer and close my eyes.
•°•°•
I stuff scrambled eggs in my mouth as I watch the toons. I try not to think of him. I had gone down to check if he’s arrived and the emptiness greets me all the time. I had to eat breakfast alone without the usual laughing and playing. I sigh as my phone rings. I check the caller and it’s not on my contact list. I swipe for the receiver and press it against my ear.
“Hey.. small ass” My nerves tighten as I hear his husky voice on the other end. My heart skips a beat and my tongue suddenly run dry. He’s calling me. Could it be he missed me?. I drop the plate on the table and get off the couch. I run my hands through my hair as my skin gets warm.
“Hey liam..” I mutter lowly. He chuckles on the other end and I close my eyes briefly at the sound, liking the way it sounded against my ears. God what’s wrong with me!
“You okay?” He asks. I shake my head sideways. No I’m not. i can’t stop myself from thinking about you liam. I bit my lip and blew out a silent breath.
“Yeah I am liam….” I try to sound fine, but my voice sounds otherwise.
“Look small ass if its about that shithead guy you’re scared of you don’t have to be okay, no one is gonna harm you” I pick up the plate of eggs and walk to the kitchen. Its not about him liam, its about you!.
“Ok liam, you good?” I hear a female voice at the background and i could feel pangs of jealousy hit me as she laughs.
“Yeah small ass. I’m gonna be busy today, I’m not gonna be coming until tonight. Could you stay awake?” I drop the plate and almost sigh out. He’s not gonna be back till evening!. And he wants me to stay awake?. I puff out my breath.
“You’re my secretary now you know..” He drawls on the last word. His tone partially pleading and partially commanding.
“Yeah its no biggie…” I drawl.
“Thanks small ass” He mutters lowly and I could almost see him smirking.
“Yeah… bye” I say and hung up. I press the phone against my ear and remain that way as I try to get my heartbeat back to normal. Why do I feel this way about him. I drop the phone on the countertop and walk to the dishwasher. I stare at it before placing the dishes into it. I lean back against the countertop as I listen to the humming sound of the dishwasher. I tuck my hair back into my ears.
I can’t believe I was living alone. I never knew it was this boring until he came along. What If i hadn’t let him in that rainy night. What if I had reported to the cops?. What if I had kicked him out, then I guess all this wouldn’t have happened. This crazy feelings I get whenever he’s pressed close to me. The way he stares at me intensely that always make my nerves tighten and my breathing hitch. The way he kissed me as though he didn’t want it to end, and the way I feel now when he isn’t around. Very soon all this is gonna end. He’d be gone, out of my house and out of my life, leaving me with the memories. I hope I’d be able to forget about him quickly. I sigh and took the dishes out. I placed them on the drainboard and wiped my hands with a napkin.
I walk back to my room and grab my bag containing my Bible. I guess i need to get distracted. I put on my sneakers and brush my hair. I packed it into a bun and took out my scarf from my closet. I wrap it around my head and put on my glasses. I walk out of my apartment just in time to see Nana coming out of her apartment. I smile and push out thoughts of him out of my head. I walk up to Nana and greet her cheerfully. She always remind me of aunt Sarah, although Nana is much older. We walk to her car and I helped her into it. I go round to the other side and get in. I strap in my seat belt and help Nana with hers before leaning back into the seat. The driver drives out as I greet him cheerfully.
“Milly…. you’ve gotting a whole lot prettier than before” She smiles at me with her almost toothless mouth and I chuckle.
“How do you mean Nana?” She grins widely.
“You wear those old clothings no longer Milly. Gotten yourself a young handsome lad huh?” Her lips twitch in amusement and I laugh.
“No Nana I don’t have a boyfriend” She frowns at me.
“I know when you tell a lie. You don’t come ’round to my apartment anymore. You’ve gat a handsome fella trippin for you isn’t it?” I chew my lips to suppress a laugh.
“I don’t Nana, I’ve just been busy that’s all” She gave me a look that simply says she doesn’t believe me before shrugging. I chuckle as the driver pulls up in front of the church. I go out and open the door for Nana. I help her out and slam the door close. The driver drives away and we walk into the church.
Liam’s pov
I stare at Ryan and the rest of the guys as they laugh and drank beer in cheap plastic cups. I sit on a bench and lean against the wall of the old abandoned mansion downtown of Boston. it was the safest place, worth the amount I paid for the greedy old hag in charge of the mansion. Rose walks into the room, four packs of pizzas and cups of ice cream in her arms. She drops them on the center table as the guys gather round her.
“Chill guys don’t eat me up. She takes a small box of pizza and two cups of icecream.
“You guys can have the rest” She grin and walk towards me. She pulls a chair and sit opposite me as the other guys noisily tear open the packs and began to eat.
“What’s eating you out liam, you’ve been awfully quiet since yesterday, home sick already?” She hands me pizza slice and I decline.
“You know that’s the least on mind right now” She chuckle and took a bite.
“So what’s up, come on liam talk to me” I sigh and rest my head against the wall. Rose might sometimes be a bitch but she’s a great listener.
“Emilia told me a guy stopped at her friend’s apartment and was asking after her. Said he asked of her address too” She pause and arch her brows.
“Who the fuck could that be” She asks between a mouthful I scoff.
“Definitely not the cops” She puff out a breath.
“I thought you guys blew their fucked up brains the other night. isn’t that enough warning for them to back down” I chuckle and took out a cigarette pack from my pockets.
“Do you mind?” I ask bringing out a lighter. She shake her head sideways and I lit a stick.
“I’ve got to teach them a lesson. They don’t have to mess with my life. What the fuck do they not understand. They’ve got business with my dad not me darn it!” I blew out smoke from my nostrils and rake my fingers through my hair.
“You know all this ain’t gonna stop until you quit this nonsense and return home. You have a lot of people looking up to you Paige why don’t you get it”
“Don’t remind me of that Rose. It was my decision and you and Ryan decided to come with me” She rolls her eyes.
“Fine… I’d try not to remind you of that. So what plan do you have?”
“The usual, I’m gonna go alone and blow his brains out, that’s would be a little lesson to the others to stop sticking their ass in my life” She chuckles and continue eating.
“You can’t go alone Paige, I’m gonna follow you” I roll my eyes and took another drag.
“I’m fine alone rose and you know it.. ”
“I’m not asking for your permission paige. I’m following you and its final” She stands up and walk over to the other guys before I protest. I curse under my breath and butt the end of the cigarette into the ashtray. Fuckin bitch!.
I get off the chair and stride to the balcony. I lean against the railings as I look down the busy streets far off. I bring out my phone and punch in my password. I stare at Emilia face on the screen. Her cute sleepy face, eyes tightly closed and her long dark lashes. strands of hair on her face and her mouth slightly parted. I stare at her lips as I remember the feel of her lips against mine the times we had kissed. She tasted so damn sweet. I could tell no one had kissed her before. With the way she responded so naively. I chuckle and swipe the screen to stare at another of her picture. This time she was bent over the plate of food I had prepared for. She was still mad at me that morning after she had quarrelled with me the day she lost her job.
She had hungrily devoured the food without no idea I had taken several pictures of her. I swiped again at the last one sent to my phone when she was still in the spa by one of the girls. I stare at her cute face that was given a complete makeover and her smooth bare shoulders with a towel wrapped around her. I rake my fingers through my hair and stuff the phone back into my pockets as I imagined how she’d look without that towel on. I clench my teeth and push away the thoughts. Damn!.. who would ever believe I’d fall for that little feisty nerd. Turns out this fucked up love game came when I least expected. No one’s gonna hurt her. I’d teach that dickhead a lesson he’d won’t live to remember. Fuckin asshole!..
Becky’s pov
I push away Harry’s arm wrapped around me and sit up on the bed. Shit!. Why did I drink so much last night. My head pounded reminding me of last night. I open the nightstand drawer and rummage through for some aspirin tablets. I took one and put it in my mouth. I get off the bed dragging the duvet with me to cover my nude self. I walk into the small kitchen barefooted and bring out a can of water from the fridge. I uncap it and gulp some of it, washing down the tablet. I pour some into a glass cup and lean against the kitchen island. We had checked into a hotel last night. we had been too much of a horny mess to let go of each other, thankfully we weren’t too impatient to use a condom and I had been able to text Sandy I’d be sleeping over. I sigh and walk back into the room. He was still asleep and I stare at his bare chest laced with dark hair. I sit on the bed and place the glass of water on the nightstand as i stare at his face. He’d grown a stubble too, why does he have to look so cute. I blew out a breath as I remember last night. Damn he felt so good, different from my other flings. I bit my lips as his eyes flutter open. He smiles up at me.
“Hey sleepy head” I grin at him and he sits up.
“Hey…” He mutter and pecks me on the mouth. He winces as he withdraw and place a palm on his head. I chuckle and hand him the glass of water and aspirin tablets. He takes it and threw it into his mouth, gulping down the water and grimacing.
“Damn!… I hate hangovers” He groans and i laugh.
“Everyone does Harry” I chuckle and take the empty glass cup from him placing it back on the nightstand.
“I have to be honest Becky, I don’t regret last night one bit. I enjoyed every bit of you” He mutters and I shamefully blushed. He turns my face to meet his.
“Did you?” I chuckle and swat his hands away.
“Come on baby give me some credit” I roll my eyes and take his shirt, putting it on. It stopped mid thigh and I get off the bed, as he chuckles. The door bell dings and I smoothen down my tousled hair. I walk through the short hallway leading to the door and open it and reveals one of the hotel workers.
“Morning…” I mutter and she arch her brows.
“Its 2pm already miss” She smirks and I widen my eyes and chuckle.
“I… didn’t know that” She grins.
“Its obvious miss.. so are you guys gonna come down the restaurant for lunch or you’d like to be served in your suite.” I itch my hair and nod.
“Yeah… bring it up” She nods and walk away. I close the door and walk back into the room.
“Its 2pm harry!” I blurt out and walk over to the curtains. I push it open and the the afternoon sun hits the large glass windows.
“Shit… didn’t know that too” I walk back to the bed as he puts on his shirt.
“You leaving?” I ask. He walks over to the closet and brings put a plain white shirt and put it on. He puts on his jean pants and walk to the nightstand. He opens the drawer and brings out his phone and wallet. He opens his wallet and brings out several hundred dollar notes.
“Harry?” I mutter and i get no reply. He’s gonna leave me here!. He places the cash on the top of the nightstand and leans in pecking my cheek.
“I’ve got to run Becky… I’d give you a call”
“What the fuck do you mean by that!” I blurt out angrily. He huffs and puts on his sneakers.
“I’ve got something personal to attend to Becky. I promise I’d give you a call once I’m free” He ties the lace of his sneakers and straighten up. I clench my fist and blink my eyes.
“Aren’t you gonna drop me off?” He run his fingers through his hair and shake his head.
“I’m behind my schedule Becky
try and understand okay” He picks up his car keys and walk out of the room. The door slams shut and I bit my lips hard. here we go… another stupid fling gone. I walk to the bathroom and freshen up. I dress up and brush back my hair. I smoothen it down and pick up the dollar bills from the nightstand. I was a fool to think he’d want more than just sex. I slid my feet into my footwear and grab my handbag as the door bell rings. I walk out of the room and threw the door open in anger. The hotel worker stood with the tray of food.
“Here it is miss” She grins stupidly. I shove her roughly. she fell to the floor, the whole food spilling on her.
” What the fuck!” She yells.
“Go fuck your food!” I mutter angrily and storm past her towards the lift.
