- HAZEL -
I walk to the door, my heart thumping in my chest. Unlike the usual way where it feels like I’m about to vomit my heart out, my heart beat is regulated and calr. I am wary of what he wants to say to but at the sa ti, I also feel quite comfortable. Maybe because the person who’s about to deliver this news to , whatever it is, is none other than Killian’s brother and this brother has helped escape what would have been a very complicated situation.
I let out a sigh, trying to calm myself further. I do not know if I should be more worried because it’s his brother. Brothers know each other more than anyone else would and what worse ti could a sibling pop up to his brother’s girlfriend than when he caught them being. . . I swallow. . . Intimate.
I unlock my door slightly and stick my head out.
“You can co in now.” I whisper under my breath. Liam flashes a smirk. This is when I pull the door open completely to let him in.
When he takes a few steps inside, he stops and gazes at my room. “So this is what a girl’s room looks like.” A chuckle leaves his lips. He turns to face . “Cute.”
I don’t know why but my eyes widen for a second and I imdiately turn around to shut the door.
My room is not cute!!
“So, what brings you here?” I ask, still standing by the door. I have no particular reason for not going in with him, I just would prefer having a good view of my room when soone else roams around it.
“Really? No soft love for the saviour pretending to be your lover?” Liam says playfully then drags his hand up to rest on his chest. “I’m hurt.” I can hear the mock-sarcasm humour in his flirt. This makes roll my eyes.
“Welco to my not so glamorous sleep haven. Now, what brings you here?” I smile widely, my voice polite.
The chuckle that eludes his lips goes straight to my skin, making goosebumps pop all over .
“I’m just here to check up on you, that’s all.” Liam says, taking my humour with a grin.
“I appreciate the gesture.” I say to him. I’m still clung to the door. I think this may seem like I’m ready to escort him out when he’s ready but I’m not much bothered by how my standing by the door may co across and it seems like he’s not too. I’m actually keeping my distance from him based on embarrassnt. I still can’t believe I was caught. And by him.
His freaking brother! Blood brother. I wonder if he heard moan. That would be even more embarrassing to know. I would rather not find out.
“Now,” I finally mumble. “What is it about your brother that you wish to tell ?”
I notice his hand fold into a fist for a second before releasing. This makes my brows furrow.
“Honestly, I just figured out it’s none of my business.” Liam utters. Now my brows crease. What the heck?
He walks towards . I assu he’s headed for the door and I step to the side to move away from the door completely but a hand stops my movent. Liam rests both his hands on both ends of the door, trapping between them. His body is close to mine but not so close that I can feel his fabric co in contact with my skin. He’s being respectful with space. I appreciate that but the way he stares at though leaves anxious.
He stares at like he’s looking at sothing exciting. “You’re so innocent and young that sotis I fear for you.” Liam says, picking his words gently. He takes one hand off the door and I suddenly feel sothing tug the end of my hair softly. Normally, a gently touch like this would leave feeling calm but not this ti. Not when his facial expression and smile along with his warm tone seem to insinuate sothing deadly.
Sothing dangerous. And it’s odd because he looks and sounds so relaxed yet my brains gives a warning. Such an irony.
“Not everything is as they seem, innocent pumpkin. Don’t let a fragile infatuation scar you for a lifeti.”
Huh? What does he an? What infatuation and if it is what I think it is, how dare he tell this when my love interest is his brother?!
I don’t know what to say. The last ti I spoke to soone comnting on my relationship with Killian, that person ended up being his mother figure. This ti, I am aware Liam is his brother so I can’t decide on how careful my words should be so I remain quiet.
He lets go of my hand and his other hand leaves his resting place on the door. He smiles at . His smile looks so pure like he did not just say the most bizarre thing ever. Do I even tell this to Killian? I do not know and it is infuriating.
“See you downstairs tonight, darling.” Liam says, stepping away from . His hand leans forward to the door knob making adjust to the side completely. “It seems the other ladies have a little ga in stall for us all to play.” I raise my brow. I wasn’t aware of no ga but him coming here to talk to about a ga would’ve been much preferable compared to now.
I do not say a word.
“That is, before Killian and I leave tonight.” Liam adds. This makes shoot my head up to face him. A soft gasp leaves my lips.
They’re going tonight? I did not know. Killian said nothing to and neither did Kate. I suddenly feel saddened. I hate that I wasn’t aware till now.. I barely had ti spent with him after so long and now he’d be leaving in a few hours. That seems so unfair.
“Okay, thanks for the info.” I murmur, trying to hide my dismay. He winks at then steps out. I huff when his presence is completely gone.
This whole thing sucks.
