Chapter 5: I’m staying? Knowing him..
“You’re staying?!” Luana asks me for the 5th time.
“Yes” I answer her again.
Why does everyone seem to think if you ask the question again, you’ll get a different answer? I find myself wondering how I fell into this trap?Well…
His mother gives me a glass of water and I’m quick to gulp it down. His mother smiles sweetly at me before walking out and leaving me with him. He sits in front of me.
“Now tell me, what’s your name?” Liam asks me calmly.
“Uh..”
His smile fades away.
“You’re about to lie again, isn’t it? Come downstairs for dinner”
I feel bad now..
‘You should feel bad!’ Zaria says angrily.
“Wait, Liam!” I try to stop him by trying to stand up but hiss in pain, oh I forgot I’m injured but it’s healing. It’ll be fine in a few minutes, it takes a bit longer for me to heal when asleep.
“Are you okay? Let me help you” he helps me get up, pretending not to notice the sparks.
Wasn’t he angry at me a while ago?
“Kassandra” he momentarily looks at me.
“What did you say?” He asks me
“That’s my name, Kassandra”
He just nods
“I’m telling the truth”
“I know” he smiles at me.
He carries me bridal style and leads me downstairs (and I feel the sparks intensify) where his mother and whom I assume to be his father are having a conversation.
His parents both welcome me, I sit next to Liam, he holds my hand as he eats. The tingly feeling is back. I look at him, he was busy talking to his father.
“Thanks for the meal… I’ll have to go home before it rains”
His parents frown.
“Will you visit?” His mother asks, I nod.
“Why would she visit when she’s not leaving,mom?” I look at him in shock, he takes a sip of his coffee. “Right? You’ll stay,right?” His leg rubs against mine, the sparks intensify.
“I’m staying?” I look at him, feeling completely confused.
“She agreed,see?” He looks at his mother who grins at me.
“Uh, yes… I’ll stay.” How the fuck did I fall into that trap?
And that is how I reached this situation, where Luana is practically yelling at me. As Luana continues yelling at me, from the corner of my eye, I notice Liam stepping in the room with a few muffins and hot chocolate. He sits next to me and hands me a cup of hot chocolate and a muffin, it’s a bit cold here. I take it from him and silently thank him.
“Ms. Luana?” My mate says, stopping Luana completely.
“Oh my God, you sound fuckin’ sexy right now!” She blurts out, my eyes widen in shock while Liam chuckles.
“Thank you, can you stop shouting at my mate? She’s stil shy, has she told you we kissed?” I look at him as he feeds Luana lies.
“What?” Luana says.
“Liam, what are you saying? Luana he is lying!”
“Am I lying? How about we do it now?” He leans in closer to me, I am quick to stand up but our heads collide.
“Ouch!” I yelp in pain.
“I’m so sorry” Liam is quick to apologise.
“I’m fine… Luana? Luana? She hung up!” I notice after a while.
Liam remains silent for a while, his demeanor changes.
“I have to go, stay here and don’t talk to anyone apart from my parents…in fact, don’t leave this room at all” he stands up and as I’m about to protest against it, he bends over me. Is he about to…kiss me? Should I slap him? Should I let him? Should I bite his lips? Should I…? I close my eyes expecting him to kiss me but I receive a deep chuckle. I open my eyes but surprisingly he was wearing his jacket.
“Food will be sent for you and your clothes are in the closet”
“Where are you going?When will you be back?Will you be back?” What? What if he’s sold me to some mafia lords/ his parents.
” I have a pack issue to handle, I might come back tonight and yes, not even the Moon Goddess can stop me from coming back to you.”
I blush furiously at that, darn these hormones.
He walks out of the room and I hear the door locking. I guess I’ll be all alone. I sit down and eat the muffins and hot chocolate which is now warm chocolate but hey, chocolate is chocolate! After having the sugary meal, I decide to scroll through social media.
It’s been hours of scrolling through social media and I’m worried. I’ve heard absolutely nothing about Liam. The maid wouldn’t even look at me. I feel lonely here…so lonely. I’m even crying now. Me! Cry? The last time I cried was when my mother died.
It’s dark now and still no sign from him. I snuggle myself in bed, the pillows are soft though, even the bed. Look at the bright side…. I’ve got a nice bed, nice room, great food and the internet connection is perfect.
