CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Liam rolled in bed, mentally blaming himself for leaving his text notifications on so loud. Not only did it ring so loudly, it rang loudly twice.
Still sleepy, he got up to pick his phone to silence it from any future disturbance. He picked it, swiped it open to reveal text messages from Steve.
Stevie: Happy Birthday, Liam!!
Stevie: Hoping this year brings you all the happiness this world has to offer that you deserve!
Right. It was his birthday.
He laughed at himself for forgetting, his laughter quickly becoming a smile as he read through the messages again. It was to think Steve remembered his birthday when even him didn’t remember.
Liam: Thanks.
Steve’s reply was immediate.
Stevie: You’re welcome!
Stevie: I was afraid you’d be asleep

Not the whole details but point is, she knows I like him.""Damn," Jasmine was obviously surprised. "I did not see that coming. What did she say?"She was cool," Liam replied, remembering. "She told me not to let go of someone I like so easily.""And?"

Jasmine's team didn't win the treasure hunt either but at least she was able to come out smiling and laughing with Steve and Trevor."How was the treasure hunt?" she asked when the game was over. "Right, you were paired with Nick. Must have been very awkward.""Not really," Liam shook his head. "We decided not to play in my team.""What?""You heard me right," he couldn't even laugh at himself. "Me and my group members decided we weren't interested in the game. It was cool. I didn't have to stress myself.""How depressing," Jasmine smiled, sadly."How was yours? Playing with Steve and Trevor?"He was curious on how actual playing the games went but he was more curious on how it was being on the same team with Steve."It was fun!"
