Chelsea Miller

Chapter 4

"I'm flattered."

Liam swiftly turned his head to face the source of the voice, Chelsea stood behind him grinning. The apron that she wore a couple of minutes ago was nowhere to be seen.

"What?" Liam spoke.

"I'm the person that makes you laugh most? That's very kind of you," Chelsea giggled and sat across from Liam.

"Well, it's true. Anyway, you finished your shift?"
"Yep, we can go now," Chelsea said.

Liam and Chelsea quickly ordered two cups of coffee before heading to Liam's Tesla.

"No way he actually did that!" Chelsea laughed, her eyes shut.

"He did! He really did! That guy is reckless as heck," Liam laughed with Chelsea.

"You should introduce him to me sometime," Chelsea said enthusiastically, happily swinging the bag of presents she got for her co-worker in her hand.

"Will? Yeah, sure. I've been friends with him for so long," Liam smiled.

"He seems like a fun dude. Ooh, look at those heels!" Chelsea said before she ran away from Liam and towards a shoe shop. Beside the doors of the shop, there was a huge display window which showed a pair of beautiful black heels. Liam smiled and followed her and she went into the shop.

"So what about you? Tell me about your friends," Liam said as he picked up a random pink heel that sat on the shelves and stared at it.

"Well, my only friends are my co-workers. There's two that I'm close with, Max and Josie. I'm dating Max at the moment," Chelsea explained as she stared at the black heels that caught her eyes earlier. Despite her trying to hide her face from Liam's vision, Liam noticed a tint of pink on her cheeks as she talked about Max.

"Oooh, so Max, huh?" Liam smirked.

"Shut up," Chelsea shyly said.

They ended up being there at the shop for a couple of minutes before Chelsea decided that she didn't want to buy anything and nothing in the store caught her eye.

"Since when have you been dating him?" Liam asked as they both walked around the mall with no destinations.

"For a couple of weeks now, he's so cute," Chelsea said.

Liam nodded but Chelsea kept going. "And athletic, funny, sweet, romantic," Chelsea said as she stared into space, not realizing that she is.

Liam smirked at Chelsea.

"He's such a gentleman and he's just so perfect-" Chelsea stopped once she realized she was rambling about Max.

Chelsea then pulled her phone out of her bag and turned it on.

"Speaking of the devil, he asked me to go out with him tonight!" Chelsea said enthusiastically.

Chelsea quickly sent a reply, saying that she'd love to go out with Max. Chelsea then put away her phone.

"But anyway, enough about me and Max. You haven't asked Leah out, have you?" Chelsea asked, knowing the answer.

"No, and I don't think I ever will," Liam sighed sadly.

Chelsea playfully punched his shoulder, "oh c'mon, who knows if she actually likes you back!?"

"She doesn't."
"How do you know that?"
"Be- Because I just do."
"No, you're just scared."
"Am not."
"You are."

Liam rolled his eyes with a shy smile plastered on his face.

"So anyway. How did you and Max meet?" Liam asked, desperate to change the topic.

Chelsea smirked, knowing that Liam wanted to change the topic but she answered anyway.

"Well, I met him through work. He was actually the one who showed me around the cafe and told me how things work around there on my first day," Chelsea said.

"Oh, he works at the cafe too?" Liam asked.

"Yeah, he's just been visiting his relatives so that's why you haven't met him. I thought he was cute. We bacame friends and soon he asked me out which really shocked me because I didn't know he also liked me and yeah, the rest is history," Chelsea explained happily.

"Oh," Liam nodded.

"You're very sneaky, sir, go ask Leah out!" Chelsea exclaimed with a wide grin on her face.

"No," Liam replied simply.

"ASK. LEAH. OUT!" Chelsea yelled at the top of her lungs, causing a lot of people in the mall to turn their heads and face the two of them.

"What the- shhh!" Liam said extremely embarrassed. She reminded him a lot of Will.

Chelsea laughed at Liam's embarrassment, the annoyed looks people gave didn't seem to affect her at all.

"Liam!"

Liam and Chelsea's heads turn and to Liam's surprise, Leah was running towards the two of them.

"Oh f-" Liam said under his breath and before he knew it, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Hey!" Leah greeted, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

"Hi, Leah," Liam said, causing Chelsea's eyes to widen at the name.

Leah the turned her head to look at Chelsea, she immediately recognized Chelsea. Leah remembered the mission that Diaz gave to Liam.

This must be Chelsea Miller, Leah thought.

"Hi, I'm Chelsea!" Chelsea instantly introduced herself.

"Oh hi, I'm Leah," Leah smiled.

"Liam talks ab-"
Before Chelsea could continue, Liam pressed his hand on Chelsea's mouth in panic.

"What are you doing here?" Liam asked Leah.

"Oh, I was just shopping for some clothes. You?" Leah asked.

"Im just hanging out with my uh friend here," Liam said, glancing at Chelsea. It's obvious that she enjoys watching how nervous Liam was around Leah.

"Yeah. Oh no, looks like I have to meet up with Max. You two go ahead," Chelsea quickly made up an excuse as she looked at her watch before pushing Liam towards Leah.

"Text me later, Liam!" She yelled before walking away, leaving Liam and Leah standing in front of each other.

Liam took this chance, "hey, do you wanna grab some drinks or something?"

Leah's smile grew, "sure! I have nothing to do anyway."

"Here, let me," Liam picked the shopping bags in Leah's hands. Leah thanked him and they left, walking next to each other.
