6|One Step Closer

I looked at the building with narrowed eyes, the want to turn away increasing by the second. I stuffed my hands deep into my coat pocket, glad I wore the biggest one I had. Winter is just around the corner and I'm really starting to feel it.

"Are we going to stand here all day?" Liam trails off. I turn to glare at him annoyed by his constant presence.

"Well, you could always leave." I send him a sarcastic smile. "You know, seeing as you weren't invited." I mutter turning back to the building.

"You know that's not possible." I slightly roll my eyes. "Plus, it's good bonding time." He cracks a smile.

"I'd rather not." I mutter and begin the climb of the million sitars. Liam caches up to me easily with his long legs.

"What do you plan on doing?" Liam asks. "I mean, he's not really the nicest guy there is." He mutters opening the door for me.

I slide through the place busy with men and women chatting. "You can't play nice with him. So I won't." I shrug and walk towards the reception table.

"He doesn't even know the meaning of nice." I roll my eyes at Liam and turn to the receptionist.

"Hello, how can I help you today?" The man turns away from his computer and to us with a large smile.

"I need to see your boss. Now." He looks towards me for a second then let's out a fake laugh.

"I'm sorry no can do." He shrugs with a smirk.

I glare at him and reach for my dagger to scare him but Liam clasps his hand down on my arm sending me a glare. "Listen." Liam clears his throat the man turning toward him.

"You are?" He raises a single brow.

"Uh, Liam hale, look-

He cuts Liam off and I roll my eyes at this miserable flop. "Are you single Mr Hale?" Liam goes slack and I hold in a giggle.

"Not really. I don't know. Look, it's complicated." Liam blushes and I let out a snort.

"I'll get you a date if you get us up to your boss." I step in. He turns to me with curiosity. I raise my brows in question as he slowly smiles.

"Deal. He's free for the next hour. Top floor." I send him a satisfied smile and turn to Liam who glares at me.

"Come on." I walk past him hearing him mumble under his breath. I swear I heard him mutter Grayson's name but I'm probably just imagining it.

He's all I think about.

The doors to the lift open and I step in with Liam behind me. I press for the top floor and watch as the doors slowly close.

"I hate you." Liam mutters with his arms crossed over himself like a child.

I roll my eyes at him. I swallow, placing a hand on my chest the sudden feeling to throw up hitting me in waves. I hate lifts.  "You and Kelly are perfect for each other." I smile at him.
