Unfortunately, this calm didn't last forever because I had to go home before there was trouble."I have to be home soon..." I breathed, expecting him to let go of me and just let Thomas, that lousy asshole, go alone.
"I'll take you home," it came back just as quietly. He held me for a moment, then lifted my head and kissed me a second time. It was just as gentle as the first time, but a little braver this time. Not so hesitant like the one before. I loved it.. I loved him.. But he was too perfect for me. I couldn't have him. "Let's go."
"Mhm..." I carefully took his hand and let him guide me.
We walked quietly side by side and didn't talk. However, I constantly had the feeling that Liam wanted to say something.
"Have you heard about the ball that's supposed to take place next weekend?" the young man asked and I gave a short nod. "Have you signed up for it?" Now I felt his eyes on me and shook my head.
"No, I don't think much of it. I also think I'd be completely wrong there.. It's not my world. Money and all that wealth stuff and stuff like that. I'm a simple city girl and I'm happy with what I have now. My father had money and left us the house, but if I live alone then an apartment on the outskirts would be enough for me..", I said and looked at Liam who looked at me dreamily
In the light of the lanterns he saw so differently I haven't seen him with such elegant facial features and distinctive bones. "And you? Did you register there? If so, I would actually think about it..", I said and winked lightly, laughing.
"I'm at the party. I'm, um ... well, I'm there because I have to be there." he said, and I didn't quite understand.
"Are you there as a waiter or something?"
"Mhh.. well no.. just come to the ball and you'll see what I'm doing there, ok?" he stood in front of me and wrapped myself in his arms. Now I stood with my back to him and his arms lay gently around my body.
"So mysterious.." I breathed, briefly resting my head on his shoulder. As he pulled me out of his embrace, I grabbed his hand and pushed myself against him. My arms found their way to his neck and ours Lips found their way to each other. His soft kisses traveled off my lips, down my cheek and up to my temple. I was enjoying it so much I didn't care about anything. I only felt Liam's closeness and I closed my eyes. "Okay.. But I don't know if I'll even make it. Surely the first ones have already been chosen..", I whispered softly into his embrace and looked up at him.
"I'll surely find a way to get you in there, Mylady."
"Stop it..", with red cheeks I stood on tiptoe one last time and kissed his lips gently. "..Come on now, I have to go home.", I was just about to turn to walking when suddenly it thundered and flashed. "Shit! Come on, come on!", I ran off holding his hand and finally had to laugh. I didn't laugh because I found it so funny running down the street with a man I met less than a week ago, I laughed to myself Happiness I laughed because I felt free. I laughed because this man holding my hand followed me without even raising an objection.
Arriving in front of my house, I stopped and turned to Liam, still beaming happily. "We're here.." I breathed out of breath and threw myself at his neck. I didn't want him to leave.. "..do you have any plans tonight?"
"No.. I'm free tonight if you want to chat again." he said and I pulled him down slightly so my lips were against his ear.
"I was thinking more of.. well, you know..", I kissed his neck softly and looked into his eyes again. They looked at me intensely and I could feel his arms pulling me and he swallowed softly.
"You want me to stay the night?", he whispered and I could only nod slightly because I was personally very nervous whether he would agree or whether he thought I was a complete idiot.
"Yes.. yes, with pleasure. But won't your stepmom get mad?", My heart dropped back into my chest with relief instead of pumping in my temples.
"No! Eh- I mean no.. she won't. She doesn't mind men visiting as long as I stick to the rules." I said, shrugging my shoulders and letting him go again.
