Reveal Yourself To Me

Chapter 39♡

Nora's Pov

I couldn't wait to go shopping with Liam. For the entire ride I was jumping in my seat and recommending a bunch of stores to him.

He listened to my rambles and agreed on most of them, except this one clothing store where I get my favorite jeans, he claimed that the lady at the front desk gives him weird looks.

I don't doubt that, Bexon had the same reason whenever he went with Layla but that ends now, he is coming with me whether he liked it or not. I was going to let that googly-eyed grandma feel my wrath.

We were in the mall and Liam was holding my hand while we walked inside, heading to the first store I wanted to go into. The bookstore.

I was meaning to get a new book for the longest while and now that I have Liam with me, we can maybe get one together, we're both bookworms.

We entered the store and I was met with the scent of fresh books and a hint of vanilla. Now, this is what I call heaven and fucking book-paradise.

I love coming here, it's such a big store filled with nothing more than just books and stationery and surprise, I love both.

Liam squeezed my hand and I looked at him, attempting to hold back my squeal. He shook his head smiling and we first went to my favorite genre of books.

I picked up two Stephan King/Richard Bachman books, fantasy and a horror then I leaded Liam to his genre which was romance. He picked up two books as well, one from Coleen Hoover and Emily Brontë.

I heard of both authors and I knew I had to borrow the books when he's done reading them. Watching Liam read is the cutest thing ever.

His glasses hung mid-way on the bridge of his nose, the blushes that unveils itself on his cheeks and nose when he reads an exotic story, the books that had him on the edge of the chair and has his leg bouncing up and down with agitation.

His reactions to certain things are very entertaining, if I had to choose the internet over watching Liam read, I would pick Liam without a second moment of thinking.

"Oh, read this one," He gave me another romance novel and I took the hard-cover book into my hands. I read the description and it was quite the catch.

It was something close to what me and Liam had only, the main protagonist had to pick between three different guys.

That is what I call triple-trouble. No, thank you.

I would read it but I hate when someone has to pick. One guy will be so loving and everything soft that you ever wanted but the other guy can hold that thrill that you were yearning for.

That excitement of exploring everything with a hint of tenderness behind it. Books like that were either heart-breaking or appeasing but maybe I'll give this one a try. I can't keep running away from these babies.

We kept looking at different books and we came up with six books in total. Liam refused on me buying anything and paid for all of them.

A strangle to place on his neck, I wanted. Ha, did you get it? I tried speaking Yoda.

I'm sorry, that was a horrific crime, my apologies.

I decided to give up on the fight on who was paying since Liam said we only had 2 hours in the mall. Curse him.

We moved onto a different store and I felt Liam tense. You guessed it right, Miss Victoria Secret. I wanted to get another set since I didn't get it the last time, I was here with Layls.

"Don't worry Li, we won't be here long," I said, hopefully easing a little bit of his nerves. This was Liam's first time shopping for lingerie and I'm not entirely sure if he's nervous because he's a little freaked out to be here with me or he's trying to control himself.
