All Chapters of Crushing On My Bad Boy Billionaire Best Friend : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Tate I hear voices coming up from downstairs and know that Liam, Denver and Tobias have arrived. My palms are sweating and my heart is in my throat. The girls give me a hug and Lilly is as excited as a puppy going for its first walk, to see how Denver looks in his tuxedo. She looks amazing in her floaty lemon yellow gown, it has a fitted bodice with little diamantes encrusted on it and thin straps leading from the mid-point between her breasts to around her neck. To match she is wearing yellow diamond heart earrings and a platinum daisy chain bracelet, studded with yellow diamonds. Lilly is a vision of sunshine. “Are y’all ready?” Tammy asks with the brightest megawatt smile you ever did see. Her lips are siren red which doesn’t clash with her peach fitted dress. It covers her amazing body like a glove with little spaghetti straps and a burst of color in her blonde hair by way of a peach rose. Her eyes are shining and for the first time since that awful night a couple of weeks ago,

Tate It’s like a magical fairyland inside the gym. The organizers must have spent hours and hours on making it so magical. Everywhere I look there are fairy lights, across the walls and lacing through the white and gold curtains that hang from a centre point in the ceiling cascading down to the floors, like a large Moroccan tent. It’s a paradise in here. Gold and white balloons hang everywhere and I can make out that they have The Class of 2023 on them. “Wow, would you look at this.” I breathe. Liam squeezes my arm. “It’s stunning, right?. Your favorite color mix too.” He winks, like the kind of wink that he knows something I don’t. “Absolutely, I love white and gold together it’s just so classy and elegant.” “I know.” He smiles and places a small kiss on my right cheek. My skin burns and I shudder, but that kind of nice shudder you know the one that goes right down to your toes. “Going to check the punch out.” He says, “you be okay?” “Sure, I’ll be with Tammy and Lilly. No prob

Tate It feels so good with Liam close behind me. “Yes, I’m having a great time. So pleased I finally decided to come.” I don’t want to move from where I am standing but I can’t. I am firmly rooted here with his strong arms wrapped around my waist, his breath on my neck. His breathing is different, faster and I can feel his heart beating so fast as I lean into him. Mine is beating like a steaming bullet train. I can smell his aftershave with hints of musk, cinnamon and citrus. “I don’t want you talking to other guys.” He tells me and bites my earlobe. Turning, I rest my hands against his chest, his eyes usually so startling blue are dark and it’s not just because it is dimly lit in the gym. “You can’t tell me who to talk to, Liam.” I say playfully because this feels so much like a date, it’s literally taking my breath away. Besides, I can role play like Cinderella for just the night, right? “Yes, tonight I can. You’re here with me, Tatey-Baby. No one else.” “They’re all too scared

Tate “What do we do now?” I ask him, my lips still able to feel his lips on mine. The way my body reacted was out of this world, and I just want to kiss him some more. The others have gone back on the dance floor and it’s so good to see Tammy and Tobias having so much fun. Lilly and Denver are slow dancing, their bodies are so closely pressed together if they’re not careful they’ll be making out in front of everyone. “I have no idea Tatey-Baby.” Liam says as he rakes a hand through his hair and takes a sip of his drink. “Do you want to get out of here? I can get us an Uber and collect my truck in the morning. I can’t drink. We could go back to yours?” It’s more of a question than a statement. The thing is, I’m nervous as fuck. Like seriously nervous. We’ve kissed, my heart is racing for what could happen next. Liam reaches out across the table and squeezes my hand. “Are you two an item now?” I hear Sophie’s voice, where the hell did she come from? “Of course.” Liam says and glare

Tate“You know my folks will be waiting up.”“Sure, of course. Their little girl has just had her first big event and they’ll want to know all about it. We don’t have to do this tonight, Tate. As much as I want to. I just still can’t believe we’ve been wasting so much time when we could have been dating already.” The taxi turns and crawls along the driveway to my house.“They won’t mind you coming up, besides we don’t have school tomorrow in any case. And, we’re just about done. Summer holiday finally. I am so excited.”“Aren’t you still going away with your folks?” I can see Liam furrow his brows. Shit. We’re supposed to be going to Texas only now, I don’t want to spend a single moment away from him. It’s like I’ve only just found him.“Bummer. Let’s figure something out. Maybe you could come. I’m not even sure I want to tell them, that you know, we’ve…” I trail off because I’m still not a hundred-percent sure what this is that we’re doing. I mean, are we officially dating or just ho
