Temptation [+18]

Chapter 2

Violet's POV

Arriving at the bakery of which me and Billy proudly own, I open the door up. Walking in, we both sigh in sync, both feeling more at home here, than at our actual apartment. Billy and I always knew that we wanted to be bakers and open up our own business yet we both didn't like administration very much but agreed that we would take turns in doing so.

The day started off good, with customers strolling in, mostly regulars.

Time seemed to fly as I went on baking while Billy was busy with the admin, it was his turn after all.

It was almost 4pm by the time, today's hard work started kicking in but instead of chilling and ordering food, it seems as Billy had other plans in mind, when he came up to me and suggested we go clubbing tonight since its today 3 years since we opened our bakery. And with it being successful at that.

I was kind of planning on getting shit - faced sometime after all the hard work I had endured this week. It is Friday after all, and I needed this. "You never know, you might even get yourself tangled in the sheets with a handsome mysterious man tonight", says Billy , knowing how pathetic my love life is.

A few hours go by and finally we are done as no more customers stroll in, but just as we are about to close up, Liam walks in. Liam Dawson is the bakery's lawyer. He's one of the best lawyers in the city of New York. He's also one of our regulars and loves to order about half a dozen croissants. Billy has had this silly idea that Liam has taken a liking to me, once he found out that Liam has offered to represent the bakery for a small price when a customer,  Gary came in one morning and claimed he was going to sue us, allegedly because his stomach was upset due to our croissants, but turns out he just ate a lot of hot food. Luckily Liam was in the bakery that morning and cameto our rescue in court.

Stopping my train of thought, I hear Liam greet, "Good morning Lay,  how are you today?" Plastering on a smile , I reply, "I'm good thanks and how are you?" Not paying much attention to him, I turn to get his regular order ready when I hear, "I'm good thanks, I'm just here for the regul-", stopping mid - sentence, as I turn around and hand him, his order.

I cant help but smile when I see his face light up and can't help but to think of how handsome he is. But one of the reasons why Billy can't be right about his theory, and why I can't think of him like that is because he is married with his beautiful wife, Layla and their 18 year old daughter, Gabriella. They have only been married for about 4 years after their families basically told them that it's the right thing to do and about time as while.

I wish I had that too at times, but I'm better off alone, since most of my relationships never work out, due to my independence, but my last relationship had the worst of them all. I was with Richard for 3 years. He was the first serious boyfriend, I had. We were engaged for a few moths before I caught him cheating on me, with my ex - bestfriend Stephanie. I mean , I always kind of knew it but I didn't want to assume the worst of my friend. She never apologized for what she done, and while Richard did apologise , I could never forget or forgive him for what he done.

Breaking me away from my train of thought, I thought I heard Liam asking me something. "Sorry I didn't quite catch that, can you please repeat that?", I ask politely.

Nervously he chuckles and rubs his neck before placing an uneasy smile on his face as he started, "Well I was hoping we could go out sometime. Just me and you, if you don't mind?", he asks.

Fuck no. I owe Billy 500 dollars. We sort of made a bet that Liam would ask me out before telling me how he feels but I never thought he could be right.

What I thought was shock, doesn't even begin to cover the emotions I felt at that point. Shocked was one of them but also disappointment that he would even consider that and with me, nonetheless. And anger mostly, because it seems that he has some type of an idea that I'm a home-wreaker.

"No", was all I said but with so much venom and anger behind it, I knew he got the message though . It was all I could say before I start swearing him. I need a drink, was all I thought as I watched him walk out of the bakery.

After cleaning up and packing away, Billy and I head home to get ready for tonight. Deciding to look for a certain dress that makes me look sexy as fuck because what the heck?! You only live once and you never know what or who happens tonight.

Heading off to the shower, I strip and get in and start washing my hair then body. After calming down from earlier, I get out and wrap a towel around me and walk into my room.

I decide to let my hair stay wet. I tie my curly hair up, to get it out of my face before I do my make - up. Once I'm done with my make - up, I slip into my black lace knee - long dress which has a slit that ends just above my lace panty I have on underneath my dress. The dress itself is a one shouldered long-sleeve dress but shows a little cleavage.

Once I finish styling my hair, which consists of me combing my shoulder - length hair out and letting one side hand over my face. Seeing as I'm done, I head out to find Billy sitting on his phone smiling. Dressed in denim, blue jeans and a white long- sleeved round -neck shirt and his white Air-Forces, he looks handsome with his light - brown ruffled hair. " I invited Sam along, if you don't mind. You'll have Juliet there as well", he says. "Sure, I don't mind", I reply, genuinely not minding since I saw how happy they make one another.
Seems like I have to get my bridesmaid's dress ready.

"Let's go then and have the time of ours lives and probably regret everything tomorrow morning", I say cheerfully. If only I knew what was about to happen, I would've stayed home.
