I take a step back and shake my head at Ruby. "What the hell was that?" I scoff, She throws in scattered glances before deciding to let her eyes meet mine. "I'm sorry" She sighs. "It's just that you're like…. You're… She's finding it hard to finish her words. "I'm what?" I slam. "I'm sorry" she rolls her eyes and shuts them. "You said you wanted to have fun and stuff and I just got carried away and I just did that… I'm really sorry, can we rewind time or erase that. I am really sorry." "Ruby my definition of fun is not with gi-" I take a pause and let out a sigh. "Sure, I'll forget about it" I nod, not planning to press on it more. "Thank you" She says through her faux smile. "Thanks for your time though" I nod.. She beams, "Anytime" With Ruby gone, I fall on the soft bed and breathe out a sigh, not neither her words or action get to me. I pick up my phone and check the time, when I notice a message from Ginny. I Tap on the message and it opens to a writeup and a li
As night draws closer, the day starts getting cold, leading me to lazily wrap myself in a duvet around my body during dinner, because somehow according to Vilda, we can't turn the heater on. I am eating silently, picking on my food a bit, when I notice Vilda stare at me. I turn to her, "What?" She sighs. "What?" I snap. "Earlier today, with Ruby" she begins. I roll my eyes. "You spied on us?" "Please, I rather eat jellos than spy on both of you" Jellos aren't that bad. "Scarlett, the walls aren't so thin. You know that, I heard you both loud and clear". "Whatever, we did it. Whatever happened between us happened." I shrug. "You know it's going to be so awkward if she ever comes over to style your dress or whatever" Vilda sighs. "We promise to not make it a thing." I shrug. "But you kn-" Get off my back Vilda" I interrupt with a yell. I don't mean to yell. "Liam hangs out with a woman, kisses a woman, has sex with a woman, and who knows what he's doing outside too.
After making his way into the suite room in its entirety, Liam greets me with a contented smile on his face upon seeing me. He comes to a complete and utter halt.He let his smile linger, still staring at me. Ruby's exit from the bedroom, her farewells, and her departure from the suite went completely unnoticed by him."You look very beautiful. Really ," Liam gushes with a smile.And I've realized how much I've missed seeing and having his gentle smile around."Thanks" I respond dryly, glancing away.The color of my dress is blue, and he is wearing a long blue blazer that is the same color as my dress. He is wearing a black shirt and black pants, and he is also wearing a long blue blazer. The only difference is that mine is sparkly, which complements the long white gloves that I have on my arms."Well…l right, let's get going then?" Liam says, clearing his throat.As Liam draws nearer to the entrance, Vilda yells for him to turn around. And it's not just Liam that snaps towards hers,
Tall, broad and handsome is nothing to speak of if not the St. Bond's brothers. They're literally everything and how Ruby described them. Or I think they're more. Liam gets on his feet, the moment he spots them, and a warm smile appears on his face. And suddenly they all looked like brothers The oldest of the Bond brothers would be in his early forties I think, but he is as charming as ever, with his brown mixed blonde hair, sculpted jaw line just like his brothers and thin lips that matched his pyramid nose, the second older one will be in his late thirties, He looks exactly like his older brother, but his lips are a bit full and his eyes are misty. The youngest, probably around Liam's age, has dark black hair. I don't know if he dyed it since his brother has outstanding blonde hair, but with his black hair, he is standing out the most with a mixture of his two older brothers' features. His hair is longer, matching his misty opaque eyes, his lips are fuller, matching his struc
The banquet begins with Aaron making a toast, along side his brothers, and to be honest I can hardly pick up anything, because I am focused on the food in front of me. When there's delicious food in front of me, I have this ghost in me that acts so stupid and oblivious to it.But I don't let it get to me, and every once in a while I raise my head up and grin, so it doesn't appear as though I'm only here for the food.On the other hand, I did hear Aaron raise a glass to his close friend Liam, as well as to Liam's wife and a couple of other visitors who he called.And then he says that he's going to make a toast to the continued success of his business collaboration with Liam, as well as something about a new firm.Please, all I want is some food.After what seems like an eternity, the toasts are finally over, and an orchestra begins to perform at the opposite end of the room. Aaron, who at the head of the table made an announcement that after the feast, everyone is free to move to th
"I got her on her feet, and instead of apologizing that she bumped into me the first thing she says is 'Fuck, you have pretty eyes." Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but I don't laugh as it all starts to come back to Me. No freaking way. "Shut up! That was you?" I don't know when I yell. I purse my lips together for yelling and apologize with my eyes, and then give a bow to help with the apology. That was uncoordinated. So you're telling me, the one amazing guy with pretty eyes who I've been gushing over for a year or two now is Liam? Who I told Ginny and Hannah about? I had bumped into him on my way home when I quit one of my jobs and I was a bit lost that day. But his big broad body almost knocked me out, luckily he Caught me. But somehow the only thing I noticed was how pretty his eyes were. And I told him they were pretty before we departed. Liam is smiling now. So is half of everyone around our part of the table. "I told you we met again." Liam scoffs. "I had no ide
I soften my gaze on Evans noticing he has also noticed how irritated I sounded calling his name. Literally the entire hallway is empty, and there's another hallway that leads to the hall. How come he's going through the hallway that leads to the women's bathroom? "Sorry," I say, shaking my head. "I didn't see you there." "It's okay?" He shrugs. I nod, ready to walk away. "Are you okay?" He asks, he decides to keep quiet during the entire meal, and now he's talking. "What? Why do you ask?" I gawk at him. "Do I not look okay?" My voice comes out soft. He shrugs. "Just asking" Of course he's not just asking. He would have noticed Liam's and I stupid action at the table. "I am okay." I force a smile, "Thanks for asking." I take my leave and in no time I am seated on the table again, surrounded by people who never stop talking. Evans arrives at the table minutes later, and as usual, doesn't join the conversation and just focuses on his food like me. After the meal, more ins
Stepping outside the hall and into the private room, we were taken to when we first arrived. Liam locks the door behind us and turns to me. Oh, I see we're having the conversation now. "Take a seat" He offers. "I'm fi-"Just take a fuckin seat Scarlett!" He sighs, maybe getting enough of me. I take a seat and clasp my hand right in front of me. Liam standing, takes a deep breath. "Scarlett." He calls. I nod, like I'm not bothered and won't be bothered by anything he says. "I know you saw that article, Scarlett and I know you're mad, and it's right for you to be mad. But I want you to believe that it's not true. Whatever you saw, it's not." He begins. "It's right for me to be mad? I mean why?" I scoff.He arches a brow. "Because we're married and it's only right you get mad when you see me with another woman." He sounds pressured. "But we're only married for public eyes, we don't love each other Liam. You and i know that" I see his shoulders drop."Who said our marriage
