Chapter 31: The Bet And The Backlash
I woke at six with my alarm going off. I groaned because I’d forgotten to cancel it. I guess I don’t need to kick him out of my bed early anymore. I rolled over and hugged Liam. He always slept through the alarm; I swear he would sleep through an earthquake. I nudged him gently, deciding to play a joke on him.
"Six o’clock," I said, nudging him again.
He groaned and slowly got up out of the bed, still half asleep. "OK, Angel. I love you; I’ll see you later." He kissed my forehead and got out of the bed, his eyes only half open. I couldn’t help myself, I burst out laughing. He looked at , confused. "Shh! What are you laughing at?" he asked, frowning, pulling on his jeans.
"You," I teased, smiling happily.
"What about ? What have I done?" he whispered, climbing back onto the bed and crawling on top of . He pressed every inch of his body to mine but still keeping all of his weight off of
sohow. He looked into my eyes, smiling happily for a little while, and then understanding crossed his face. "Shit! Your brother knows! Then why the hell did you wake
up, Angel? I don’t need to leave," he whined.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a long kiss. "I was just kidding around. I forgot to cancel the alarm so I thought I’d use the extra ti and we could make out."
He grinned. "You wanna make out?" he teased, kissing down my neck. I gasped as he reached the sensitive spot near my collarbone.
"Mmm," I breathed, running my hands down his back, scratching slightly with my nails, making him moan. He climbed back under the covers, and kissed
tenderly and softly, holding
close. He made no moves to take things any further than that, which I loved. He really was adorable.
We walked out of my bedroom a little after seven thirty. Liam pushed
onto one of the kitchen stools, grinning to himself like the cat that got the cream. "Hey, I get to make you breakfast without getting shouted at today," he chirped.
I laughed and watched as he made
a bowl of cereal; he smiled and put it in front of , before making so toast for himself. "You don’t eat cereal?" I asked, watching him scoff four slices of toast.
He shook his head, turning his nose up. "I don’t like cereal; it’s gross and all soggy." He faked a shudder, pretending to gag.
I laughed again. "You really are weird, Liam," I teased, smiling at him.
He grinned. "You know, it’s kind of weird, you being all nice to
over breakfast."
"I could be an to you if you want," I offered, shrugging.
He laughed and shook his head. "No. I’ll get used to it eventually." He walked over to my side. I turned to look at him and he brushed my hair behind my ear, his fingers lingering on my cheek, making
blush. "You really are the most beautiful thing in the world," he murmured. My heart skipped a beat at the honesty in his voice, his blue eyes were burning into mine, making
feel like the only girl in the world.
"Cut that crap out! I might have given my blessing but I don’t need it shoved in my face over breakfast," Jake growled as he walked into the kitchen to make so cereal. He slapped Liam on the back of the head on the way past as usual.
We all laughed and Liam stepped behind , wrapping his arms around my waist, leaning his head on my shoulder. "Thanks, Jake. I know you said stay away but..." Liam trailed off, looking at my brother gratefully.
"Whatever, Liam. We’re fine. Just don’t make us have a problem, OK," Jake replied, smiling a friendly smile.
Liam’s arms tightened around . "I won’t." He kissed my shoulder lightly and Jake fake gagged, making
laugh.
"Well, co on then, lovebirds, I suppose you need to get to school a little earlier so that you can announce you’re together," Jake stated, rolling his eyes.
Liam grinned and nodded. I gasped and shook my head fiercely. "No way! We can’t do that," I said, looking at Liam. He looked really hurt for so reason.
"Why not?" he asked, taking my hand, and looking a little confused.
I glanced at Jake; he really wasn’t going to like this. "Er, well, I sort of have a bet going on. The next one to sleep with you will win the pot. I could really use that money." I looked at Liam uncomfortably, but he just started to laugh hysterically.
Jake almost choked on his drink. "No way! You can’t do that!" he cried, shaking his head violently. "I don’t want to know that you two are having sex. I don’t!"
I laughed at his annoyed and disgusted face. "Jake, we’re not having sex." I shrugged, making his face relax a little. "But when we do, I definitely want to win the pot. I won’t if people know I’m his girlfriend already." I looked at Liam, unsure if he would go along with this or not.
"Angel, I don’t want you to want to be with
for so bet." He frowned, looking a little hurt.
I smiled seductively at him. "You think that’s the reason I’m going to want to have sex with you? Trust , lover boy; it won’t be to do with the money, that’ll just a perk."
He leant in and put his mouth to my ear. "So what will be the reason?" he breathed, sending a shiver down my spine.
I bit my lip. "Hmm, I’m not sure but it’ll have sothing to do with you begging
on your knees," I teased, smirking at him.
He laughed and kissed , pulling
close to his body, sending ripples of desire racing through my bloodstream. He pulled away to look at , lust written clear across his face. "I’d happily beg you right now you know."
I patted his chest and stepped away before I dragged him back to my bedroom and ripped his sexy ass jeans and black button down shirt off his flawless body. "Oh I know, lover boy." I laughed, trying to catch my breath.
I glanced at Jake who was staring at us eyes wide, his mouth hanging open in shock. "Guys, I seriously can’t take these PDA’s," he said, grimacing and shaking his head.
"It’s OK, the PDA’s done. I just think we should keep this quiet for a little while. Why not make a little money for doing sothing that would happen eventually anyway? That’s how I look at it," I said, shrugging.
Liam and Jake looked at each other. "I guess. But will you be able to win? I an, was the bet to make
break up with my girlfriend or sothing?" Liam asked, frowning.
I giggled and shook my head. "Nope, I made sure of that. It’s definitely just the next one to nail you, as they so eloquently put it."
Liam shook his head, looking a little disgusted. "I can’t believe girls do that sort of thing."
Jake laughed. "You know what? I think I might announce that I’ve got a girlfriend next. Then I can just pick soone and we can split the money," he said brightly, as if he was serious.
Liam grabbed my hand and pulled
towards the door. "Co on, let’s get to school before you brother has any other bright ideas." He laughed, shaking his head at Jake.
Liam winked at
in the mirror as we pulled into the parking lot. There were more girls than usual waiting for them. They all made a beeline for Liam as soon as his door opened. Jessica, as usual, was at the front.
I laughed. "Good luck, boyfriend," I teased, winking at him as I walked off, swaying my ass on purpose. I knew he was watching . When I got to the door I glanced back over my shoulder to see him pulling a girl’s arms off of him, a distasteful expression on his face. He must have had about twenty-five girls round him, he looked extrely pissed off. I laughed and went to find my friends; as usual, they were hanging out by our lockers.
"Hey, guys," I chirped, as I got up to them.
"Wow, soone’s in a good mood today! Any particular reason?" Sean asked, looking confused at my happy face.
