Hurricane

Chapter 24 - The best memory

Rose's POV

"I had done several photoshoots for the campaigns of their fashion house." Liam replied nonchalantly and gave me a boyish smile. I smiled at him back.

We met in Rome about three years ago when he came to pose for the autumn/winter campaign of the fashion house I worked. He was so cheerful and charming and won everyone's heart. The girls were crazy for him. We got along well as well. He was like a little brother for me who I hadn't have.

"It seems everyone already knows Rose." Kate commented, smiling as she held Troy's hand, leaning against him.

"Yeah." Troy muttered, giving Liam a dirty look. I looked at him, puzzled.

Why did he suddenly get angry?

"So Alec is your son?! Oh my god, he grew up so much. The last time I saw him, he was a baby." Liam commented in awe.

"Yes." I agreed, looking at my son lovingly.

I brought Alec to the photoshoot because his nanny had to leave urgently. So I didn't find anyone to look after him and had to bring him to the fashion house with me. In his every break between photoshoots, Liam spent his time with Alec. Thank to him, I managed to work while he helped me to take care of my son.

Troy's POV

I took a sip from my red wine, clenching my fist while staring at Liam and Rose; they were chatting while Rose was smiling ear-to-ear. They hadn't stopped talking since we started having dinner.

Fuck!

What is going on between them? Or what happened between them in the past? Were they more than friends?

No, Liam isn't Rose's type. However, I can't say it about Liam because he didn't have any specific type. Beautiful and sexy were enough for him. And Rose is both.

Moreover, all these years, he knew where Rose was while I was searching for her desperately. Even my mother met her too.

If I stayed for the after party, I would find Rose earlier.

Damn it! Damn it!

I frowned in annoyance and ruffled my hair.

"Honey, are you fine?" Kate asked, interrupting my thoughts as she rested her hand on my forearm.

"Umm...Yes." I mumbled and took a piece of my fish.

I poured a glass of whiskey for myself and went towards my mother who was talking to Kate. My mother gave me a warm smile as I sat down on the couch beside her.

I took a sip from my whiskey without focusing what they were talking while staring at Rose, Liam and Alec. Rose and Liam's closeness was getting on my nerves. He even got the innocent child to his game. And Rose looked so satisfied by his attention.

Didn't she know that Liam is an incorrigible womanizer?!

I clenched my fist in frustration and sipped my whiskey without taking my eyes off Rose.

"Are you okay, Troy? You look tense." My mother asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"Umm...Yeah." I mumbled, forcing a smile, and noticed that Kate wasn't beside her anymore.

"By the way, I am planning to talk about the wedding, taking an opportunity that everyone is here." My mother informed me.

"No, Mom!" I exclaimed abruptly. My mother gave me a confused look. I took a deep breath and added after looking at Rose who finally was alone. "Not tonight. We will talk about it later."
