Bianca's POVWhat the hell was wrong with Liam? Why did he have to smile at me like that? And why was he staring at me the way that he did now? Didn't he know how detrimental it was for me? That smile did things to me, things that I would never fully understand. If he only knew..."Look at her. She can't even take her eyes off him. Oh my God, Bianca! You look like a lovesick puppy!" Mimi said in between giggles, tilting her head from side to side that her dirty blonde hair fell to her face.I quickly unpinned my gaze from the drop-dead gorgeous, hot son of a bitch and turned to stare sheepishly at the annoying sisters. I downed my glass of chilled juice and pushed my hair behind my ear."Who are you calling a lovesick puppy? You're delusional, both of you."Maybe I wasn't really myself right now and it was all thanks to Liam but a lovesick puppy? That was too much! I sure as hell wasn't in love with anyone and would never ever stoop to that level! Ew...me? Fall in love? Just thinking
Bianca's POV"Oh my God, Bianca! So it's true, you do have feelings for you bodyguard!" Mimi gasped dramatically and put a hand over her mouth. She turned to Janessa and turned back to me. She blinked at me several times and stared at me like I had grown a horn on my head or something.Mimi had always been the dramatic one. I wasn't surprised by her reaction, it was as expected. She always did too much and they said I was the dramatic queen. Yeah, right! They obviously never met Miranda.However, what I was surprised about was my very own reaction. I had gotten so irked and all riled up when Mimi had said she was interested in dating Liam. It felt like I had been splashed with a bucket of hot water. The anger or whatever it was I was feeling towards Mimi when she was busy gawking at my Liam completely multiplied as soon as the words spewed out of her mouth.Did I just say my Liam?I really had totally lost it. Why the hell did I say that? What on earth was wrong with me? What had come
Bianca's POV"Where have you brought me, Liam?" I peered through the window of my car to see where we had stopped at.As soon as we had left the restaurant, I asked Liam to drive me somewhere. I wasn't in the mood to go home just yet and I didn't wish to stay with Mimi and Janessa any longer. I couldn't put up with them which was very odd because in the past, there had been no issue like this.They were always this way but I never found them annoying or irritating. As a matter of fact, there was a time we used to spend most of our days together. We'd go to clubs, party all night long, go on a shopping spree and splurge on clothes, bags and shoes that we probably only used once. I was certain that there were some of them that I had never tried on.The three of us also used to make a lot of tiktok videos together, pose for photos together and flood the whole of social media with our pictures. Since we were all in the same field and had worked with each other couple of times, we'd spend
Bianca's POV"We can change that, you and me." Liam's words faded into a resounding melody in my ears. The only thing in my brain now were echoes of the words.I gaped at him for what I presumed was about two or three minutes or maybe it was really just in my head. But I knew I stared at him for a pretty long time though. My eyes lingered on his beautiful face, they were pretty much glued to him at this moment.I kept thinking about what he said. Although, it appeared like nothing but just an ordinary statement, to me, it was a lot more than that by a wide margin. His words were soothing, assuring and they had an underlying meaning, at least that's how they came off to me.It was like him telling me that although I had shitty memories tied to karaokes, he was very willing and ever ready to ensure that whenever I thought of it henceforth, there would be only smiles and laughter. It was him assuring me that he was going to take away the sadness and fill me up with great, happy moments t
Bianca's POVWe were inside the karaoke bar. It looked a whole lot better inside than it did on the outside. The decor, the lights and everything was amazing. The place was still filled with people even though it was only noon. Didn't these people have work to be at or something?Liam pulled me as he walked further in. Wherever he went, I went. I was practically chained to him and I kind of liked it. I never wanted to let go or have him let go of my hand. It fit perfectly in his like it was meant to be there. And it gave me a sense of warmth, assured and security.Liam led me to the bar and pulled out two stools, one for me and one for him. I felt unhappy that he tore his fingers from mine. I was getting used to the feeling."Here you go, Miss Davies." He pushed one stool over to where I stood and motioned for me to sit down. "Please have a seat."I mouthed a 'thank you' and let my bum greet the stool he had given to me. Liam sat down only when he saw that I was seated. What a gentlem
Harriet's POV"Why isn't he answering any of my calls?" I dialed Liam's number again. It rang again but still no answer. I was so fucking sure I had called him more than ten times now. It was obvious now that Liam was ignoring him, he was intentionally doing this.I decided to leave him a voice message. "Liam, it's me. Where are you? And why aren't you picking your calls? Who's there with you, huh? I have a feeling that you're ignoring me because of her. Is she there with you? Call me as soon as you get this message."I flung my phone to the bed. I was in our home, mine and Liam's. Technically, it was his home but I moved in with him three months after we started dating years ago and I had been living with him ever since. This wasn't where he used to live back then though. We only moved here from his estate when he started working for that bitch.This apartment belonged to him. It was a condominium. As a matter of fact, the entire building belonged to him but most people were unaware
Bianca's POV"Did you see his face though? The look on his face was priceless! I'm so glad you put him in place!" I said in a fit of guffaw, throwing my head back as the laughter slowly died down into a chuckle. My words were barely audible but Liam understood them very well."Yeah, I guess I tried," he said with a shrug, trying to downplay it but I was not going to let him do that."Are you kidding me? You didn't just try, you murdered him in sweet, sweet, cold blood!" I had stopped laughing now and I leaned backwards in the passenger seat, catching my breath.My cheeks were hurting from laughing too much and my head was in a partial spin. Tears had nudged at the corner of my eyes from the excessive giggling and somehow, I couldn't seem to wipe the big smile off my face.We were laughing over a guy whom Liam had dealt with in the Karaoke bar. Well, only I was laughing heartily, Liam only chuckled and smiled occasionally. The guy had challenged Liam to a karaoke contest after Liam had
Bianca's POVLiam stopped midway and brushed his thumb against the corner of my lips. He looked me dead in the eye while he did it continuously. I would be lying if I said it wasn't fucking hot or if I said it didn't make me want to rip off his clothes and screw him right there in my car. His eyes were glued to mine, his stare was intense and his touch was burning with intensity yet it caused cold shivers to transverse through my body.I closed my eyes again and sucked in a breath while Liam continued to stroke his thumb against the corner of my lips. His other fingers moved to my cheek and caressed it. His fingers were cold yet what they were doing made my insides feel like a volcano erupting and ready to eject hot lava from its crater."You had a little something here," Liam told me, his voice low and husky. He withdrew his hand from my face and I quickly opened my eyes, frowning slightly and awfully disappointed.That was why he moved closer to me? To wipe off an ice cream smudge
