Chapter 4: The Friday Night

Emma Salvatore:-

"Ok, your place or mine?" I asked and realized that once again I spoke the wrong words without giving it a thought and watched Liam looking at me with an amused expression then burst out laughing when he saw me blush after the realization of my words hit me.

"So, I take that as a yes. You do want me, precious. In that case, we are going to my place." he announced, one moment I was standing on my feet, and another moment I was thrown over the shoulder by Liam as he made his way to the limo and I hit him on the back, ordering him to put me down.

"Put me down, fucking put me down, Liam. Put me down this instant. I don't want to go to your place because I don't want you. You are my friend. How can I want you?" I shouted and he didn't stop or put me down instead threw me in the limo and asked the driver to drive us to his penthouse which by the way was way more luxurious and cleaner as compared to mine.

Since I am so focused on painting I forget to pick up my stuff and do my laundry which is mostly covered with the painted shirts and trousers. It's not like my penthouse is way messier, it is clean but as compared to him, mine will be called messy because the guy has a freaking OCD like Monica from the friends.

" We are not doing anything, Liam! We are not crossing the line of our friendship." I spoke in a stern tone and he leaned closer to put my hair strand behind my ear but his closeness sent a shiver down my spine because I thought he was going to kiss me but instead, he whispered in my ear.

"How is having a game night like every Friday with me crossing the line of our friendship, precious?" he asked in a husky yet teasing tone "Unless, you want something else to happen between us on my bed with you under me and I top of you, preferably naked. Oh, how much I wish that it happens." I know he was teasing because he doesn't have feelings for me but for Sarah as she is her girlfriend while I am just a friend, no, his best friend.

"Be careful what you wish for, Liam. You don't know when the wishes might come true." I spoke in barely an audible voice with my eyes opened wide in shock after hearing his words. He kissed my cheek and pulled away laughing his ass off.

"Oh my God! You should have a look at your expression. They are fucking priceless." he laughed holding his belly and I rolled my eyes and smacked him on the back of his head playfully and chuckled. After his laughter died, we talked a bit about our businesses and reached his penthouse after ten minutes of the ride. He helped me get out of the car took me to his penthouse and headed directly to his room to get me a pair of shirts and my trousers that I left behind.

"You go and shower in the guest bathroom while I will go, shower and change myself then we can sit in the living room and begin with the board games," he said. I smiled took the clothes from him, kissed his cheek, and went to the guest bathroom to shower.

After taking the shower and putting on the clothes, I dried my hair with the blow dry and stepped out of the room to find Liam already showered and changed, waiting for me in the living room with the board games placed on the center table.

"Wow, you are fast." I complimented and he chuckled.

"Well, I am not fast, you are slow, maybe because you have to scrub out te pain off your body in the shower, that's why?" he asked "Come on, let's get the game started because I am in full mood to win tonight and by the way, are you hungry and want me to order some take out for dinner?"

"Yeah sure, what are you ordering?" I asked after sitting down on the couch beside him and watching him organize the game properly and rolled my eyes "Seriously, I am telling you, sometimes your OCD really gets me bored which is why stop organizing and start playing, Monica." when I called him Monica he glared at me because he doesn't like called Monica.

"Don't call me that," He growled and I laughed.

"Then stop being one." I spoke and shook my head "Ok, let it go, and let's play and order some Thai food tonight because last week we had Chinese."

"Alright," he said and placed our order then we began to play, after forty minutes the food arrived and by that time Liam had lost me twice and I couldn't help but tease him out.

"Pay up," Liam asked me to pay for the food and I looked at him with a raised brow.

"Excuse me, you know the rule, the one who loses pay for the meal. I lost last week so I paid, so it is your turn now since you lost." I reminded him of the rule and he groaned but paid the bill and we had a nice and peaceful meal on the living room couch while watching the action movie since we both are a fan of it.

"So, club?" he asked.

"Do I look like I have got an outfit for the club? No way, we are not going tonight. We are skipping it." I told him when he stood up and headed to his room once again and brought a silver fringe knee-length and sleeveless dress out. I looked at the dress and then at him in anger.

"I swear to God I am going to kill you if you are trying to make me wear Sarah's clothes just to take me to the club with you," I spoke with a gritted tone when he turned the dress around and showed the price tag.

"Relax, it's not Sarah's. When I went shopping with Sarah the other day, this dress caught my eye and thought you would like it so I purchased it for you. So, this makes it yours, not Sarah's now go and change and as for the makeup, you have left pretty much behind in the guest room of mine." he informs and I feel bad for being rude to him so I got up and threw my arm around him for a hug and kissed his cheek.

"I am sorry, please forgive me." I apologized.

"One condition," he said with a grin.

"What?" I asked confused.

"That you will put this on and look pretty," he replied and I grinned.

"Well, I can do that, because I never fail to do that, right?" I asked and went to the guest room to get ready for the club and this whole time Liam hasn't returned my phone which I am sure would be blowing up with Marks's calls and messages but at this moment I don't care about that. I will deal with him later because whenever I am with Liam, I am happy and feel at home.
