My L490 - Part 1

Chapter 29 - Give You What You Like

Liv's point of view

I got up and showered, I savoured the hot water on my muscles, I needed to calm my mind, it felt like I was thinking a thousand thoughts a minute, how was I going to face him today. I felt tired, even though I had only got up after noon, I knew we had dinner with Shayne and Charley later and I needed to talk to her before that, I needed to know where she had been for two days, and I needed to tell her what had happened with Jason.

As I walked out of my room and I heard Shayne and Jason talking downstairs, "I told you to be careful with her, never mix work with pleasure, but you never listen to me" Jason was angry with Shayne, I stood quietly, at first I thought they were talking about Charley, but then Shayne's response caught me completely off guard, "It was a couple times, it wasn't like we were in a relationship, and she knew it, I am meeting her tomorrow, and Charley doesn't know, so do not say anything." It was quiet for a few minutes then Jason said, "Well it's your grave you're digging here."

I knocked on Charley's door softly as she opened I could see she had been crying and I immediately knew why, she does know what he is doing tomorrow, and it seems he doesn't know she does. I closed the bedroom door, "What's going on?" she looked in to my eyes and I could see the tears threatening to spill, "Nothing, he is just being infuriating, and I can't do anything about it." "Of course you can! You should talk to him, tell him you know!", she looked at me then and I realised I wasn't actually supposed to have known anything. I explained "I was out on the landing and I heard him and Jason talking, he's seeing that model tomorrow." she nodded "Yes, I heard him arguing with her on the phone this morning, he told her it's over and then agreed to see her tomorrow morning, and he said that was the end." I walked towards her and wanted to give her a hug but she turned, "No we need to go and I need to get ready, if we do this now, I am not sure I will be able to stop crying."

She walked around the room and got her outfit ready, "I am going to shower and get dressed, just go down and do not say anything, please?" she pleaded with me and I nodded, I still wanted to punch him, but, I can wait. "Fine, but after tomorrow I will not be held responsible if anything happens to him, I know people!" I saw a small smile on her lips and I left. I didn't hear anyone downstairs and I figured it would be a good time to go and make some coffee, walking into the kitchen I saw the coffee had just been made. I took a cup and poured the coffee slowly savouring the smell, it really was amazing. I went into the living room and checked the time, we had about an hour before we have to leave. As I sat down Shayne walked out of the music room, I flushed remembering what happened in there. He made his way into the living room "Hey Liv, how you? It's been a while? My brother keeping you tied up?" he smirked and I felt my whole body flush, "What?" I squeaked, he laughed and walked into the kitchen "Nothing".

Charley's point of view

I was ready, but I didn't want to go, I wanted to stay home, sit on the sofa and cry, I was so angry with him I didn't know how I was meant to spend a whole evening sitting in his company when I knew what he had planned tomorrow. I decided to wear a long black dress, the back had thin strings criss-crossing the back and finally it tied on my lower back, the front had a long deep cut out pattern towards my belly button, I had very basic make-up on, I figured if I was going to cry tonight, why waste good make-up. I tied my hair up and let a few strands fall loose around my face and neck.

As I made my way downstairs I saw Liv in an amazing black dress as well, similar to mine, but it had a blue shimmer, it was a halter neck style and she looked amazing. We always seemed to have the same taste in most things in life, except obviously for men. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, I nodded and hoped she would stop asking me that, or I don't think I would be able to keep from crying. "Where are they?", she motioned to the upstairs music room and then pulled me out onto the patio, "I have to tell you something! Last night, Jason, well he's a bit of a control freak", I laughed, "OMG Liv, seriously that's really way too much information! And you were making fun of me being tied up?" She blushed so deeply, I felt embarrassed. I smiled and said "Well, at least he made you smile". She looked into my eyes, "You have no idea!". We heard them coming downstairs and they both looked like they belonged on the pages of GQ magazine, actually I think they were at one stage, they both wore shimmering black suits and shirts, the shirts had the first few buttons undone, Shayne, once again had a single red rose in his jacket pocket, the single red rose that will probably be the death of me, Jason on the other hand wore an electric ice blue rose in his pocket.
