Reveal Yourself To Me

Chapter 21♡

Liam's Pov

I was on my way to pick up Nora from the bookstore and I tapped nervously on the steering wheel with my finger, hoping she likes what I have planned for her at the apartment.

I had two surprises for her and I called Bexon to confirm if what I was planning was a good idea, let's just say she might cry.

I parked my car on the side of the store not wanting her to know I was here. I grabbed my phone and keys and then slowly made my way to the front of the store.

"Hi, how may I help yo- LIAM!" She ran up to me and jumped in my arm, clinging onto me tightly.

I chuckled and spun us around, holding her just as tight, inhaling the scent that I missed so much. "Hey pretty girl," I muttered into her hair, "Hi," she replied while caressing my cheeks.

I took the time to admire her face. Her eyes seemed brighter and she had the sunniest smile on her face.

I love that she's excited to see me, I can tell how much she missed me just by the way she gazed at me.

"Oh! Lincoln," I looked up to see Mr. Winsley strolling toward us with a few books in hand. "It's Liam, you old hag," Nora said, her voice laced with annoyance. I shook my head and laughed then set her on the floor to help Mr. Winsley.

"Such a nice fellow, Nora you should take notes," I took the books from him and smirked at Nora, for that I earned a middle finger but she's just jealous.

After we helped Mr. Winsley with the rest of the books to stack on the shelves, I waited for Nora as she was grabbing her things. "Come here boy," I raised my eyebrow in confusion but still walked over to Oscar.

"Don't you dare break that girl's heart or I will shove all these books so far up your ass your brain will collect all the knowledge it can get." I gulped nervously and nodded. I believed him, this man is one scary old dude and he is not afraid to do whatever he says he is going to do.

"I promise, I won't," I said with pure honesty. We sealed our pinky promise and right on time, Nora came out from the back room looking remarkable as ever. She changed her clothes into black top and black sweatpants. Very simple but she can pull off anything.

"I'll be going now old man," she said while hugging him and he pushed her away scoffing. I laughed at the two children and we left after bidding our farewells.

"Are we going to your house or mine?" she asked while climbing into the car. "Yours." I started the car and we were off.

She doesn't live far from the bookstore so it took us less than ten minutes to get to her apartment.

...............

She unlocked the door and halted in her path when she saw a small table with plates and candles. I was going to prepare the food while she sipped on wine and drowned herself in the music, that was the plan.

"Liam..h-how, when?" She whirled around and perked up at me with such adoring eyes. I felt myself falling into a trance but rapidly looked away, "W-well, you were working a-a lot and I thought you deserved a break?" I said, avoiding eye contact at all cost.

That didn't last long until I felt her small hands grab onto my chin and shifted my face to look at her, "You are the sweetest guy ever, thank you so much Li," I smiled and pulled her into a hug.

She sighed and relaxed into my arms, breathing me in. I kissed her on the head and lifted her face to kiss her on the lips that I can never get enough of.

I bent down and captured her lips, molding our lips into one with a slow passionate kiss. Nora hummed and combed my hair with her fingers. God, that felt so fucking good.
