I tighten my grip on my bag as I stare at the guy I loved with every fibre of my being walking a girl home.
“What’s the issue Sandy” Becky voice sounds distant. I watch the girl laugh to whatever Dylan was saying. They were walking towards us and were so engrossed in whatever they were saying. Becky gasps as she sees them.
“Dylan!” She mutter lowly. She curse under her breath and unstrap her seatbelt as I feel tears burn my eyes.
“I’m gonna teach that bitch a lesson not to flirt with another girl’s boyfriend!” She opens the side of her door and slam it shut. She strides over to them and they stop on seeing her. Dylan appears surprised. Becky suddenly shove the girl roughly to the floor as she yells at the girl, kicking her continuously as the girl shielded her face from her assault. Passer by stop to watch the scene. The girl appears surprised too. Dylan holds becky by the arm and pry her away from the girl. Becky turns to dylan and began to poke his chest while pointing to the car. Dylan trails his gaze to the car and his eyes meet mine. I stare back at him without blinking and the tears pooled in my eyes. Dylan tries to walk over to meet me but Becky shoves him back roughly and storm back to the car. passer by watch her as she stomps away. She return back into the car and slam it shut. Dylan leaves the girl on the floor and strides quickly to the car. Becky ignite the engine as he gets to the side of my window. He press his face against the window
“Baby its not what you think!” He raise his voice and I blink back tears and look away. He taps on the window for me to roll it down and I glance at Becky who was waiting for my answer.
“Continue driving Becky he knows where to find me” I croak out shakily. She spares me a concerned glance before she began to drive. Dylan continues slapping at the window and yelling while he tried to keep up with the moving car. I brush away a tear as he keeps retreating cos we were moving fast now. He stops running when he couldn’t keep up anymore. I stare at him through the side mirror as I watch him rake his hands through his hair while staring at the car. I tear my gaze away from him and focused it back on the road ahead as I try not to cry. Dylan can’t do this to me, he loves me and I do to. Why did he have to do this. Becky continuously spares me a glance but didn’t say a word.
We get home minutes later and Becky parks the car and kill the engine. She puffs out a breath as I unstrap my seatbelt and get out. she locks the car and trail after me. I get into the compound and walk up the stairs to my apartment. she opens the door and I step in. I walk to the couch and sit on it. I drew my knees to my chest and began to sob. Becky sighs and sit beside me. She watch me till I’m done crying before putting a arm around me. I sniff back tears as she pats me.
“Come on sandy, don’t be such a cry baby… Its gonna be fine” She coos. I wipe away my tear stained face as the door bell dings. Becky stares at me and the door.
“Should I get it?” I shrug and she gets off the couch and walk to the door. I hear her open it.
“What the fuck are you doing here Dylan!” I hear him curse under his breath and storm in. He pause on seeing me and I raise my gaze to meet his.
“Babe!… what the fuck just happened!” Becky stands behind him as she glar at him. He try to squat in front of him but I move away from him. He curse under his breath again.
“We need to talk” He says through clenched teeth. I sniff
“There’s… nothing to talk about Dylan” I croak out, choking on my sob. He scoffs and hold my arm and pulls me up. He hold me by the waist as I try to pry away from him. His hold was stronger and I try not to shiver under his strong hold. He walks me into my bedroom as I struggle against him. We walk in and he slams the door shut. He push me gently against the door and stare down angrily at me.
“What the fuck is wrong with you sandy!” He yells at my face. I stare at him angrily and whip my palm across his face. His cheeks goes red immediately.
“You’re so shameful Dylan how could you do this to me!” I raise my voice at him.
“What the fuck did I do wrong, that was my client for fuck sake what is wrong with you” I pause and stare up at him as I try to search his face if he was lying, all I saw was anger. I tear my gaze away from him and scoff.
“A client you spent the sunday with right, a client that made you switch off your phone throughout Sunday that didn’t make you call or text me huh, I didn’t even get to see you on Saturday! that’s cool ain’t it” I yell back slowly fisting my palm. His face goes taut for a moment.
“This ain’t the first time I’m going away for a day without prior notice sandy and you know it!”
“But this is the first time you didn’t text me or call. This is the first time your secretary doesn’t know where the fuck you are… then all I see is you cheating on me with a girl openly Dylan right to my face… what do you want me to think huh!” He suck in his breath and I shove past him and sit on the bed. He stands and stare at me for a while.
“You just can’t jump into conclusions Sandy!. The dinner was scheduled for Monday, I had to leave on Sunday and check into a hotel so I could get to the venue on time!. I tried texting and calling but the coverage was bad!” I scoff and try not to believe him. It just didn’t make any sense.
“Then why did you look so surprised when. Becky confronted you huh!… I saw the look on your face Dylan, like someone who’s secret has been out!” I knew I was trying to pin excuses on him so I won’t believe him.
“For fuck sake sandy don’t be ridiculous!, who wouldn’t be surprised after that crazy cat tried to gorge out my client eyes!” I bit my lips hard knowing Becky is probably eavesdropping.
“So I’m being ridiculous now right!” I could see he was telling the truth, but I’m letting out all my bottled up anger for his absence throughout the weekend. He walks over to me and squat in front of me.
“You know there’s no one else sandy!, you sure do know I’m crazy about you. Why do you need to doubt me!”
“Then why do I feel like I’m your second option Dylan!, why do I feel that way!” I voice out and his gaze soften. He sighs and cup my cheeks.
“You know I love you so fuckin much Sandy, that’s all that matters isn’t it?” I sniff and hung my head down. He raise my chin up and brushed off my tears.
“Sandy!.. You’re the one my heart wants!, the one I wanna spend the rest of my life with and make cute babies too, the one I wanna grow old and toothless with. You know it sandy stop this!” My stomach tighten with emotions. I knew all this, knew he loved me more than I did, why then I’m I doing this. I smoothen down my hair and suck in my breath.
“I’m sorry babe…” I mutter lowly and he brush off a tear that slid down my cheeks. He draws me up and pull me into a hug, kissing my hair and rubbing his hand down my back. I lean against him and breathe in his scent.
“You’ve got to trust me sandy, I’m working hard for us sandy, for our future, for our unborn babies…” I wasn’t listening anymore as I stand on my tippy toes and draw him into a kiss, my arms wrap around his neck as he pulls me close and kiss back at once. I’m a fool in this love game, I’m so addicted to him. There was a knock at the door and I disengage. I walk to the door and open it slightly to see Becky grinning at me.
“Dinner is getting cold Sandy O’Reilly” She smirks and I roll my eyes and tweaked her ears.
“Go eat it all alone and stop eavesdropping Becky Lynn! I voice out and slam the door hard as she laughs. Dylan walks over to me and holds me by the waist. He drew me up and I wrap legs around him as we resume kissing.
“Easy Dylan we’ve got all night” I say, smiling against his mouth.
Liam’s pov
“Rose!… no matter what happens, you aren’t gonna come here without my notice” She pouts at me and I sigh.
“Can’t you fuckin get it, it’s risky!… the cops are gradually backing out of my case, you can’t blow my cover!” I walk to the couch and sit. She sigh and sit beside me.
“But we i haven’t come here over a week Paige, and you don’t look like you’d call me to come over anytime soon!” I roll my eyes and bring out my phone.
“Rose… I could always come over to the mansion, stop this fussing!”
“You promised you’d leave this place if we have a place to stay, now we’ve gotten a mansion liam, with lots of rooms too what’s stopping you from leaving huh” I rake my hands through my hair and sigh. I don’t want to leave yet, not when small ass still lives here. I feel like I belong here already.
“I’d soon leave rose give me time and could we stop having this claptraps!” I say through clenched teeth. She stares at me for a while and shrug.
“Fine… I hope its not gonna take years… good night Paige. She leans in and tries to kiss me and I move away. She stares at me in shock for a moment.
“I feel cranky rose from the bullet wound” I lie and she gives me a look that says she dosen’t believe me” She nods slowly and get off the couch.
“I’d get going now” I stand and trail after her to the door. She twist the key in the lock and turn the knob.
“Rose…” I call and she turns to look at me.
“Thanks” I voice out and she smile.
“Anything for you Paige” She says and step out closing the door behind her. I puff out a breath and lock the door. I take out the key and walk to the couch, I drop it on the table. Truth is I no longer wanna kiss any girl again since I kissed small ass. Hers can’t be compared to rose or my random flings. I’ve never felt that way in a long while. I sigh as I hear small ass move around the kitchen. I walk into the kitchen to see her her back to me, dicing carrots. I missed her so fuckin much. Why does she get so damn sexy every day. I stare at her slender legs before walking quietly to her, stopping behind her. i wrap my hand around her, I lean forward and slightly brush my lips against the nape of her neck.
“Liam!” She stiffen and call out lowly. I place my hand over hers.
“Let me teach you how to dice small ass…” I smirk against her skin as her breath shudders. I placed my other hand on hers and held the carrot firmly. I slowly dice it as I felt her lean against me.
“Did you miss me” I whisper as I dice. She didn’t reply but breathe out instead.
” Easy small ass…. so you don’t cut yourself” We finish dicing the carrot and I drop the knife. Damn I can’t seem to resist her. I slowly kiss her neck as she suck in her breath. I trail my hands down to the sides of her waist and turn her slowly to face me.
“Liam please…” She sigh out lowly. I was past caring. I shut her off with a kiss and deepen the kiss. I cup the nape of her neck and tilt my head as I fought for entrance. She place her small palms against my chest and slowly part her lips. I delved in, slowly stroking her tongue and teasing her at the same time. She gasp out a moan as she give in to my touch, and kiss back. Damn!. I suppress a groan as our lips moved against each other, how did she learn to kiss this good. I trail my hand down her back again and groan as it becomes intense. She sigh out in between the kiss as her breath shudders. She slowly disengage and stare up at me, her gaze dark. I could see she had a lot of courage in her to withdraw.
“We shouldn’t be doing this liam” She whisper lowly, her hands still against my chest. I puff out a breath and cup her cheeks again
“Just breathe small ass.. let your heart decide” I kiss her again, this time more intense. She did this to me, with her cute eyes and face, and her soft looking lips, damn it if any guy can resist that. She wraps her arm around my neck as we kiss. This is all too good, I’m not ending this, never. She thread her little fingers in my hair, slowly caressing the nape of my neck. I groan against her mouth as we slow down and finally pull away. Her face was all red as she tried to catch her breath. I smirk at her as she moisten her lower lip.
“Are you well enough to dice the carrots?” I ask, my eyes taunting. She glare at me and roll her eyes before turning back to continue dicing. I laugh as i join her in fixing dinner.
Becky’s pov
I palm the alarm clock as it rings out. I groan and push the covers of my body and sit up. I yawn lazily and brush away hair from my face. I place my feet on the floor and stretch. I get off the bed and walk out of the room, through the short hallway leading to the living room. I sigh as I remember last night. It was hard to sleep, with Sandy loud moans filling the whole apartment and hitting my ears jeez!… she should have just stuffed a pillow in her mouth to muffle her groans jeez!. I walk into the kitchen to see her leaning against the kitchen Island and sipping a cup of coffee. I roll my eyes at her and walk to the fridge.
“Hey sleepy head” She grin and run her fingers through her tousled hair.
“Hey yourself Sandy” I took out a can of water and close back the fridge as she laughs.
“What crime did I commit this time Becky?” I take a cup and pour some Into it. I gulped it down and set it on the countertop.
“Moaning crime!” I blurt out and she gasps out before laughing.
“Was it that loud!” She giggles and set her cup down.
“Enough to make me die of sleeplessness” She laughs and I chuckle.
“Next time Sandy… could you maybe stuff pillow in your mouth or bury your face in it” She squealed in laughter and I roll my eyes.
“Sorry about that Becky I couldn’t help it you know she smirks between her laugh.
“Whatever!… He left already” I ask after a pause.
“Yeah… but not until we used the bathroom you know” She wink and I laugh and swat her arms.
“And there… we forgot to stop by Emilia’s apartment last night… jeez sandy we are bad girlfriends” She palm herself and sigh.
“I bet she’s bored as fuck since she aint working” I say as she chuckles.
“With liam in there… no fuckin way” She grins and I arch my brows.
“What do you mean by that Sandy… last I checked she hates his guts” Sandy purse and lip and look away.
“You know… they quarrel constantly, that isn’t boredom is it?” I frown at her as she avoid my gaze.
“What aren’t you telling me sandy?”
“Huh?… what do you mean”She asked like she’s confused.
“Nothing forget it… what’s for breakfast?” i ask and get off the stool. She roll her eyes.
“Do I look like your chef… I prepare what I like” I chuckle and walk out of the kitchen.
“Whatever!” I roll my eyes as she laughs.
Emilia’s pov
I sit on the couch as I watch the tunes. Liam decided he would prepare lunch and I’m left with sitting my ass down and thinking… about last night. I sigh as it played in my head over and over again. No matter how I try to get away from him, try to act normal whenever he’s close to me, try not to let my nerves tingle crazily whenever we cuddle, all the courage disappears with just one intense gaze at me or just a smile. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair as he calls me. I get off the couch and walk into the kitchen where he had set the food on the counter. I chuckle and sit on the stool. He sits across me and slide the tray to the middle.
“we eat together small ass” He smirks and I roll my eyes.
“I bet I won’t eat much before you eat all of it” I take the fork he gives me as he laughs.
“I’d try not to…” He smirks and I laugh quietly before tucking into the food.
We were done in minutes and I load the dishwasher with the dishes and walk to the sink to wash my hands. He walks out of the kitchen and I take out the dishes and drop them on the drainboard. I wipe my hands with a napkin before walking out of the kitchen. He was sitting on the couch and tuning the channels. I plump down on a single couch.
“Small ass, could you help me braid my hair, its getting in my eyes lately” I widen my eyes before laughing.
“You’d look so much like a girl then” I giggle and he smirks.
“Am I that cute to look like a girl?” I roll my eyes at him and get off the couch. He is just too cute to be true. I find it hard that a guy as cute as him would fall for a nerdy girl. I’m sure he’d go for a more classy girl.
“You’re as ugly as an ogre liam” I grin and he hits his chest, feigning hurt.
“You know… I couldn’t forget the day I barged into your apartment. You sure do know you were drooling at me huh?” I widen my eyes and gasp.
“Did you have to remind me of that day!” I blurt out in embarrassment. He chuckles and thread his fingers through his hair.
“Yeah small ass… you remember the day you almost died of shock when you saw me on the same bed with you, or the day you wrote me are list of rules I should follow damn… the first was hilarious!” I face palm myself as my cheeks redden in a blush.
“What was the rule?” I ask and he chuckles.
“You seem to have forgotten… you told me never to walk around the house shirtless… what the fuck!” I laugh as he roll his eyes.
“I’m sure you were pissed at me then” I say and he shook his head.
“No… just bedazzled by your small apartment, your petite self and yet you seemed happy, it was beautiful to watch you do things your own way. Never minding what others said about you, I guess I’m falling in love with that nerdy girl” My heartbeat seems to stop as I watch him. Did he just say that. He gets off the couch and stalk over to me. He stand in front of me as his blue orbs pierced mine.
“I guess that’s the little feisty girl, I can’t stop thinking about every damn time” My heart flutters as he cup my cheeks, gently brushing my lips with his thumb pad. No he doesn’t mean what he said does he. I blink my eyes, he can’t be falling for me.
“Liam I…”
“Shh…” He coos, interrupting me.
“You don’t have to say anything or doubt it… let your heart decide small ass, I’d wait for you to decipher your feelings for me, right now, just being with you is enough okay…” My breath hitch as my skin warm up. This can’t be true, famous criminal liam Paige can’t fall for a girl like me, I can’t for into his kind of life. He leans in till our faces are inches away. I flutter my eyes close, waiting for the feel of his lips against mine.
“I wasn’t about to kiss you small ass” My eyes flew open to stare at his smirking face. my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. I tuck my hair behind my ears and bit my lips.
“I’d just go get a brush” I say and turn to walk out. He hold me by the arm and spun me to face him.
“Hey… i was only about to…. peck you” He grins and leans in again kissing me slowly. He withdraw and release his hold on my arm, a huge smirk on his face. I suck in my breath and hide my grin.
“I’d be waiting” He winks and turn, walking down the stairs. I blink my eyes and walk out of the living room, my nerves tingling crazily and my lips with a smile.
