Kate wished she hadn't responded to his kiss, at least she could sort out her emotions, but right now, her head was in a huge mess, she couldn't even understand if she loved him or not.
“Let's go to bed now.” Liam spoke, standing up and holding her hand. Kate felt numbness on her feet as she stood up, realizing she had been squatting for so long.
Liam watched her lay on the bed before he lay down beside her and tucked them both into the comforter. His hand went around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Kate held her breath until she was nuzzled in his arms safely like treasure.
His eyes were shut and there was a lovely smile on his lips. Her eyes flickered as she scrutinized his features.
She wouldn't deny that he was very handsome, but there was a difference between being attracted to someone and being in love with them.
She pursed her lips; her eyes still staring at him.
Although she was not sure about her feelings for him
After trying countless of times to pull herself out of Liam’s grasp all to no avail, she gave up and stayed still, waiting for him to wake up. After about a thirty minute of waiting, he moved, Kate thinking he had woken up, raised her head to look at him but she was shocked when instead of opening his eyes, Liam turned around with her in his arms, embracing her on top of him.Her face blushed red as she realized how intimate the position they were in at that moment, if not that his brows weren't moving, she would have thought he was doing it intentionally.She wanted to scream at him but when she saw how peaceful he was sleeping, she let him be. She only got exasperated when after an hour later; he had not still woken up.God! Would he sleep forever?She wondered as she rested her head on his chest, listening to his beating heart. When she felt him stir, she raised her head and realized that he had woken up.''Wow! I haven't slept for so long
At the movie….''Hahhahha, oh my…Ha-ha '' Kate laughed as she watched the movie, she never knew a movie could make someone laugh so much. Her eyes were already teary from so much laughter.“Johnny English, she didn't even know how they went from looking over horror movies to selecting such a movie filled with comedy, and she wasn't regretting it one bit.Half way into the movie, she turned to look at Liam and saw that he was resting on the seat and staring at the large screen, his lips stretched into a smile; it seemed she wasn't the only one enjoying the movie.She thought as she turned back to the screen, dipping her hand into the bucket of popcorn to pick some popcorn.''Did you enjoy it?” Kate asked as they stepped out of the theatre, her eyes wide as she waited for his reply.''Yeah, I gaze so.” Liam replied as he scratched the back of his head.''Aiyo, can't you just say I loved it, what is with t
“Liam…” ''What is it, wifey?” ''There… there is a wasp behind you.” “Aaaaah!!” In the next second, Liam jumped out of the bed and dashed to where she was. Kate was not expecting that reaction at all; she couldn't even hold her laughter when she saw his red face. “Pft! Hahahahhaha….” She laughed, pointing at his red face, her eye turns red from excess laughter. ''Where… where is it?” One thing Liam detested was insects, and to think it was just behind him, he couldn't help but feel cold sweat run down his spine, goose bumps erecting on his skin. Kate didn't know that he was scared of insects. she just said that to make him irritated, she didn't know she would get a more uproarious expression in return. ''Hahhahha, there was no wasp or insects, I was just kidding…” She explained, as she continued laughing at him. Liam’s lips fell, realizing that he had just been tricked. He blinked his eyes, watching her laugh so
Kate sat on a couch near the glass wall as she watched the workers load the wine cartons into the van. Their function was the easiest, after this, they won't even bother about any other thing. And she didn't even get to raise a finger; Liam practically did all the work.She raised her wine glass to her lips as she watched them from the wide glass wall. After a few minutes, her eyes shifted from the workers to Liam, who was standing in a shade.His expression was mild, not frosted, but not smiling either. Now she thought about it, these days he had been with her, he rarely got mad like he used to.He was really changing…She felt a tug on her heart as she gazed at him, admiring his handsomeness. As she stared at him, her mind started imagining strange things;What if he asked her to marry him for real??She swallowed hard as she thought about it, her heart beat increasing.She wasn't sure if she was in love with him now, but gra
Her eyes slowly opened, and she looked ahead, wondering why they had arrived so fast.“Gucci!”She read the inscription in green on the high glass building and her brows creased, she turned to Liam, a little confused.''You want to get shoes for him too?” She asked, wonderingly but Liam shook his head.''You complained that your shoes hurt, so I thought we might get some before we go back home.” He said gently.Kate was surprised and her expression froze for a second when she heard him. How could he remember that?She had said it in passing; she never thought he would keep it in mind. Her heart warmed at his words, and she smiled.''You didn't' have to, we're going back home soon…” Before she could complete her sentence, Liam had stepped out of the car and walked to the other side, holding the car door open for her.Kate’s heart couldn't help but flutter, no man had ever treated
''Happy birthday grandpa!”The family exclaimed as Evie held grandpa's hand as they walked into the parlor. There was a visible smile on his face as he laughed heartily.This was his best birthday celebration because all the members of his family were home. His eyes scanned through the faces, and his joy knew no bounds.''Wow, when did this place get decorated, I'm sure I didn't see this last night?” Albert asked; when he realized the changes in the interior design of the house.''It was a surprise.” Evie said, a smile on her face. It was his eightieth birthday; each year they get to see him smile brightly was a blessing to them. Grandma was seventy-three, but she didn't even look that, given the kind of treatment her body underwent. She looked more like a fifty-year-old woman.''Happy birthday honey,” Dorothy walked to him with a beautiful, kissing him on the cheeks, and hugging him closely.“Eeeish!” Evi
Kate cleared her throat as she felt her face blushing red at his words.''Thank you, and you look remarkable too.” She commented. He was wearing a blue shirt with a red dragon design on the chest front, and matching black pants which highlighted his breath taking features.He looked literally good in everything he wore.Kate thought as she admired his outfit with a small pout. After a moment, her eyes raised up only to catch Liam gazing at her with craving in his eyes.Kate gulped, instantly she turned around and started walking towards the makeup table.“I’ll do my makeup first; you can go downstairs.” She said, sitting on the chair and gazing at her flushed cheeks on the mirror.''I can wait for you, let's go down together.” Liam said.''No, I'll take a lot of time, and you'll need to meet the guests, you should head downstairs.” Kate cut in quickly and Liam felt depressed.''Okay,”
She wondered as she remembered all the family dinners and sit-together, although she knew their smiles were pretentious, she never thought something like that could be going on.God! You won't even have expected a thing!Lilian barely spoke to Bernard, and she had never seen Bernard alone with her. Wow, such top-tier cover up!He was always sweet to Mary and he barely spoke, how would she have known that she would hear him utter so much in micro seconds?!And Lilian, could she get any lower?To think they were even doing that in the ancestral home, all morality they have flown out of the windows!Kate stood against the wall as she thought, suddenly a thought entered her mind, and she turned to the door again. Dropping the wine bottle quietly, she turned on her camera, making sure to remove the flash and put it on silent; raising her hand to the door, she opened it quietly.Kate stuck out her head and took a look, seeing that they were
Jayden smiled as he walked to his room and looked at his reflection in the mirror. His fingers ruffled his hair, and he wondered if he should get a new hairstyle. Striding sluggishly to his bed, he fell on it. Madison… He thought, a smirk on his lips. He could not get her out of his head after that heated night of passion. He had not done something so wild before; sleeping with someone he didn't know for the first time. It was crazy. After that day, he had intended to forget about her, but after seeing her application letter to work in his company, he couldn't get her off his mind. He wanted to have a taste of it again, but this time, with her name on his lips, that was if she was up for it. But judging from how she had acted, he wasn't sure she wanted to do it again. He was brought back from his thoughts when his phone rang. He swiped when he saw the caller; Ivy… '' ''hey, babe, you up for some party tonight?'' she asked. He could hear her tossing things about in the background
''Pft, what a very sad life you live. '' Elle said, giggling lightly. Jayden ruffled her hair;''It's not, it's even more peaceful than most. ''''Nah, I highly doubt. But I still wish you'll fall in love someday, even if not with Ivy, with someone who would love you just the same.''Jayden laughed; ''Don't tell me you're already in another relationship, Elle. You just broke up two weeks ago! '' Jayden just guessed, but when he saw the smile on her chin, he knew he had suspected right;''You don't say!'' He laughed;''This one likes me a lot, Jayden, '' Jayden nodded; ''And so did the last one, ''Elle rolled her eyes. ''Well, that one was a cheat. ''Jayden was quiet for a moment, then he patted her hair; ''Just be careful, okay, you can take your time before getting into another relationship, you're still very young.''Elle stood up; ''it's getting late, are you going home or you're sleeping over?''Jayden smiled, seeing that she had smartly changed the topic. He just wanted her to
Jayden smiled when he saw the faint blush appear on her chin. It was hard to resist him; he had not met a woman who did.''So what do you say? Dinner by 6 on Saturday?'' He asked, shifting the strands of her hair to the back of her ear. She couldn’t breathe. The only thing she wanted at that moment was to escape from there, so she quickly nodded.Jayden smiled and stood upright; ''Okay, I'll pick you at your house.'' he said, walked to his car, and drove off, leaving her standing and looking incredibly shocked by what just happened.It took Mady a few minutes to realize that she had just agreed to a date with him. She grabbed her hair with one hand as she frowned intensely. What did she just do?***Jayden stared at her through his rearview mirror, a grin on his chin. He mentally thanked his car for getting hit that morning. After that day at his office, he had thought of a thousand ways to start a conversation with her without it being weird or out-of-place giving their encounter in
The rest of the week ran smoothly. Madison was surprised that Jayden did not speak or asked to see her after that first encounter. She was surprised, but at the same time, happy. Happy that it was as Zoey had said, there was nothing to it, it was just a one-night stand.She had bumped into ivy a few times, but she felt so guilty that she couldn't even look her in the eye. ivy was pretty with a hot body. She wondered what could make Jayden cheat on someone so perfect.But you can never understand people who think with their d*cks can you? I mean, she was perfect for her Ex, but he cheated more times than all the sex she had ever had in her entire life.Work was great. She changed her alarm wake-up time to 5:30, so she could be at the company very early. She did not want to get on the bad side of her seniors. But then, just when everything was going smoothly, something happened.Mady greeted her colleagues as she left the office. Walking to the parking lot, she beeped her car and walked
The two other employees glanced at Madison in shock. Did she just curse in front of the CEO? Was she asking to be sacked? Madison’s hands flew to her lips when she realized what she just did.''I'm sorry, sir. It was a slip of the tongue.'' She apologized, trying her best to avoid eye contact. Just what the hell did she get herself involved in?Jayden sat up in his chair; ignoring what just happened, he asked; ''Have you all been briefed?''"Yes, we have,'' they replied. ''Alright, you're welcome to Lincoln Corporation. I hope you enjoy working with us.'' He said and stood up, extending his hand for a handshake;The two employees shook him, and Madison stretched her shaky hands. Jayden smiled as he shook her. Nothing extra, but she felt shivers travel up her spine, and she quickly withdrew her hand.Jayden smiled and dismissed them. Ari was the first to turn around in a bid to escape quickly, but he was not done with her yet.“Madison Grey.'' He called and her legs came to a halt as
Madison slumped on her bed when she came back from the interview. She had taken a day's leave from work to go for the interview, and this was the last chance she had, else she would be stuck working for Clinics for a few more years. She didn't want that.Taking off her clothes, she cleaned up her house. She didn't have the time to clean up in the morning since she was in a hurry.As she cleaned her room, her thoughts drifted to the man from the previous night.Was she rude for sending him away like that? She thought.Then she shook her head. She would have made breakfast before he left, but she had an interview she couldn't miss. Besides, it was a one-night stand, they didn't know each other and Australia was too big of a place to meet a stranger twice.Changing her bedsheets. She put it into the washing machine and lay down for a movie.***Madison woke up the next morning and prepared for work, she quickly had breakfast and hurried out of the house, on the way, her phone buzzed and
Madison lost count of how many times they did it that night. Wild, passionate sex with no strings attached. It was nothing like she had ever felt. Morning came too quickly, as she was woken by her alarm. She had set an alarm for 6 because she had a job interview at Lincoln Corporation.She was an accountant. She had worked for a clinic for three years, but she wanted to move to a new environment and get better opportunities, plus she was having issues with her manager, and he was making work difficult for her.She had gone for a few interviews, but the companies were yet to call her back. Lincoln was her last straw. She jumped up from the bed naked and she hurried to the bathroom, but she stopped halfway when she noticed someone lying on the bed.Remembering her escapade, the previous night, she ran back to the bed and shook him roughly."Wake up! It's time to leave."Seeing him this morning, she noticed how great his body was. He looked like he worked out. He was sleeping with messy
21 years laterMadison touched up her already red lips as she smacked them."How do I look?" She asked, her best friend. Zoey was her childhood friend and they had been through all life's shit together."Hot, baby girl." She said, packing her hair up in a ponytail,"I'm going to get laid tonight." Madison said, and Zoey chuckled,"You get laid almost every night, not like this would be any different.""Well, it would cause I’ll be fucking a total stranger."Zoey’s eyes widened as she turned to her friend but before she could say a word, Madison walked out the restroom. Her friend had taken some alcohol earlier so she was a little high, so she wasn't sure if she was saying with her right senses."You are kidding right?" Zoey perverse as she followed Madison immediately,Madison smirked; "watch me." She said as her eyes scanned the crowd of screaming people in the club and her eyes stopped at a guy who was drinking alone at the bar.She smiled and walked to him before Zoey could stop he
Four years later."Jayden Smith, come back here!" Kate called as she watched her son leave his food and run to hug his father as he walked down the stairs, laughing mischievously.The little boy looked exactly like Liam, except he had his mother's eyes. Liam lifted his son up and kissed his fat cheeks as he carried him back to where his mom was sitting.Kissing her on the lips, he placed Jayden back in his chair. Kate glared at her son, and he laughed, showing off his developed milk teeth. She couldn't even get angry at him."How was your night, baby?" He asked as he tilted Kate’s head to look at him."Fine!" Jayden answered, before his mom could form words in her mouth. Kate and Liam burst out laughing."Jay, I was asking your mother." Liam said, patting his hair.Kate smiled. ''He likes you too much. '' she said;''It's obvious. '' Liam chuckled, patting Jayden hair again. Liam dotted on their son a little too much. It was as though he wanted to give him all the love he couldn't get
