Amber (L.P)

Liam

Shoot did I just make this seem like a date? I have a girlfriend, this is not a date. This is just a friend being nice and owing another friend one and taking her out to dinner.

Oh gosh, it's a date.

"I uh, I was just you know. It's a dinner thing. Where a friend is out with another friend and they're eating food and stuff." I stumble over my own words feeling stupid.

"Like a date? But not a date because you have a girlfriend and waitress who wants to sleep with you?" She says smiling.

"Yeah, exactly!" I comment drinking my drink again.

"Yeah, understandable." She says.

"What? What's understandable."

"Uh, you know just the thing we're on you know. Like I understand?" She stutters.

I nod not really understanding or think she knows what she's talking about even. Just then the waitress comes back with Amber's food.

"Is it to your liking now Miss?" The waitress asks with an attitude in her tone. I glare at her but she keeps her eyes on Amber for once.

Amber cuts open her steak and looks up at me then at her, "It's fine now thanks." She shoots the waitress a complete fake smile.

"Good because we wouldn't want you to be unhappy now would we? That would be unfortunate if the steak wasn't to your likings again." Her attitude is full forced now, Amber sits in shock at her rudeness.

The waitress, Hannah, seeming not to care, then looks at me, and asks if I'm still doing good. I nod, but don't like the way she just treated Amber. I need to do something about it and make the waitress jealous.

"Yeah I'm okay. You know what I need though?" I look at Hannah then at Amber.

"I think I need a kiss." Hannah lights up.
I stand up and walk past Hannah to Amber and sit down next to her.

She looks really shocked but I don't care, I cup my hands around her face and kiss her. A warm and electrifying feeling fills up inside me when my lips touch her soft lips. That's weird.

I hear Hannah scoff and walk away hearing a slight "Whatever." And I let go of Amber.

"Sorry, I just wanted to make her jealous. She was being so rude to you." I apologize and stand up and sit back across from her.

She still looks in shock and just nods slowly.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't think it'd be a big deal I just was you know. I felt bad for how she was being to you and it made me mad so I took action and yeah. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable." I didn't even know what to say. Why did I do that? I probably made her so uncomfortable she might just get up and walk out of here.

"I-It's okay. You just definitely caught me off guard is all." She lets out a light awkward laugh.

"Okay, good. Yeah, sorry." I don't know what else to do but apologize.

"It's fine Liam, thank you for making her jealous. She was being so rude and that helped." She smiles reassuringly.

I let out a sigh of relief, "Okay good. I thought you were just going to walk out on me for a second."

She shakes her head, "No I wouldn't do that. Gosh Liam, do you think I'm some jerk?"

"No, not at all. I just didn't know." I smile, "Well now eat up because we have tutoring to do still after this. Big test tomorrow." I say eating a piece of my steak and smiling.

He kissed me. He kissed me. He kissed me. He kissed me. He kissed me. I can't breathe. He kissed me. He freaking kissed me.

"Okay what did he even mean when he said this?" Liam interrupts my thoughts and is highlighting part of a passage we are reading.

I explain it to him and go back to my thoughts. Wow wow wow wow. His lips sent shivers down my spine. I felt the fireworks that they always feel completely. I know it didn't mean anything to him, but wow if he only knew how it was like for me.

I can't keep thinking about kissing his perfect beautiful lips when they're right in front of me. I don't know how my body handles things yet, what if I can't handle it anymore and attack him again? Can't risk it. Even though by being around him I already am.

Wait what am I talking about? I always have to control myself. I can do this. Okay so about that kiss. Oh my.

"Amber"
"Amberr"
"Amber!" Liam's angelic voice breaks my daydreaming up again.

"What? Sorry, spaced out."
"Yeah I know you did. What were you thinking about?" He pries.

"Nothing, now what was your question?"

He shrugs and asks the question which I help him with. We continue studying for our test tomorrow with laughing fits in between. Wow he can be really funny.

"So why did you even go to the mall in the first place if she was going?" I ask him after he told me a story about his ex and going to the mall with Harry.

"I don't know I just thought maybe I won't run into her. Stupid thought. Who knew I'd be spilling a smoothie on her within the first ten minutes of even being there."

I laugh recalling the story he just told me going along with that statement, "What was Harry's reaction?" I say through laughs.

"He was just trying to get a better look at her soaking wet chest like a perv." He laughed.

"Wow, typically Harry huh?" I suggested.
"Eh, he's rarely like that, but he has his days I guess." He raises a brow at me.

"Don't remind me. I don't want to remember that." I say firmly taking a sip from my sprite to the left of me.

"Oh gosh, we have to talk about it sometime. Why did you even let him continue doing that to you? Why didn't you just shove him away?"

"Liam are you kidding me? Did you see me? I tried! He was too strong. You think I wanted him to forcefully kiss me and rub himself against me? No never. Why would you think I'd just let that happen?" I ask feeling offended. He thought I just let Harry throw himself onto me? That's sick.

"Well why didn't you like yell or something? You just sat there quietly until I came up to help you. You can't just sit and let things happen in those kinds of situations. You can't be so stupid." He says, his tone coming more harsher than I expected.

"Gosh why do you always have to make me feel stupid? I tried to get him off of me. Go ahead and think I enjoyed it, go ahead and think I don't respect myself but that's messed up." I stand up and start to pack my bag.

"Oh come on really? Storming out again? Why do you always get so mad at the littlest things? I'm just saying you have to have more common sense next time. No need to get all crazy."

"Liam, what did I tell you yesterday? I struggle with little things worrying me daily. I can't help it. You don't understand and never will. I'm not getting crazy, I just don't like snobby jerks like you thinking they know better than everyone else. I'd like to see you in that situation and see how you'd handle it!" I yell texting my mom furiously to pick me up right away.

"Oh stop, I'm not a snobby jerk. You're just dramatic. Stop taking everything so seriously. I would've handled the situation a heck of a lot better than you! I feel bad for you. Go ahead, text your mom and go cry to her. See if she'll help you next time."

"I don't know what always gets into you. You just had to bring this whole conversation up didn't you? Oh let's keep talking about it, making her more anxious and let's freak her more out about the situation she was in. Oh great idea! And you know what I don't need your pity. Screw you, have fun failing the test tomorrow!" I walk quickly out of his room and down the steps. He follows yelling things to me.

"Shut up Liam, go yell at Tiffany. See if she stays with you after that. Oh and tell her also how you flirted with a waitress and kissed me as well. Boyfriend of the year award to you!" I shout opening his front door.

"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you? Yeah I wish I hadn't had kissed you, I think the waitress was acting just fine!" And with that I slammed the door in his face and ran out to my moms car with tears running down my cheeks.
