The CHEF from Burhan & Sons

Chapter 9 - Liam

I was woken up by a super noisy alarm, I almost broke the source when I recalled where I was. It made me smile because leave it to my Amy to put such a hideous ringtone as the alarm. I turned to her side of the bed and she was nowhere to be found. I got up and put on my shorts, I intended to return her to bed. When I reached her living room there was a woman there with luggage, she looked like my Amy but a bit older. I started walking backward, hoping I would rush to the bedroom in time and put on a shirt but she saw me and a huge smile appeared on her face.

"Were you running from me young man?", she asked playfully making Amy turn fast to look my way, her eyes checking me out as if she just realized, I was half naked in front of her relative, her eyes went wide with shock and avoided me altogether by focusing on her cooking. "No, I just wanted to go back and put a shirt on", I said with a smile and she nodded. I rushed to her room and put my shirt on along with my jeans.

"He's so cute, way better than that ill-mannered John", her whispering was the worst I could hear her by the time I was in the hallway, making me smile. "Mum, his name was Jordan. Liam stop eavesdropping and come eat breakfast", Amy said calmly. I walked into the kitchen and sat by the counter avoiding her eyes.

"Hello Ma'am, my name is Liam. Amy's boyfriend", I said offering her a hand which she accepted, her smile still intact. "Nice to meet you, Liam, I'm Clarissa, her mother", she said looking at Amy who was putting our breakfast on the plates. Pancakes and sausages for me and her mother and leftover lasagne for her. Yes, my girl is addicted to chicken lasagne. "Welcome", she said putting the plates in front of me and her mother. We continued eating quietly.

"Mum, I'm serious, you could have told me you were coming prior", she whined as I took her mother's bag to the room, she directed me. "Why would I do that? Besides, look on the bright side I got to meet your cute boyfriend", she said with a giggle. At least her mother liked me.

"You're not telling Dad any of this... I mean it", Amy told her mother who didn't seem to listen. She was busy trying to find something to watch on TV. I went to her room and took the laundry basket, trying to be a useful boyfriend. I went to the washing machine and started dumping the clothes in when her sexy underwear fell from the rest of the clothes.

I picked it up while recalling how I removed it using my teeth. Her eyes went a shade darker with hunger. I released a breath because I was starting to get turned on and with her mother in the house, I was not planning to get caught walking around with a boner. I finished her laundry then went to her backyard and put the clothes on the drying stands, when I turned, she was standing at the door with her mother watching me with a smile on her face.

"Yap, my favourite son-in-law for sure. Come watch the bachelorette with us sweety", her mother said and I agreed quickly. I made popcorn for us and joined them in the living room. Her mother walked me through what we were watching and whom we were rooting for. This was the first time that I was sitting with a mother figure watching something together, even my nanny didn't have time for such things and it felt amazing.

"Do you have to go baby?", Amy whined as I collected the car keys from the bedside table. I pulled her to my chest and kissed her forehead. "Yes, I have some cleaning of my own, I'll call you when I'm done, hopefully, you will still be awake", I said hoping it would lighten up her mood.

"Will there be phone sex?", she said wiggling her brows. "There could be", I teased kissing her soft neck and making her giggle. "You're such a teaser. I love you", she said kissing my lips, I responded the moment she did and it ended up getting out of hand until we heard her mother clearing her throat from the door that I purposefully left open to avoid her getting a different idea.

"Muuuum! Do you mind?", she said furrowing her brows making me and her mother laugh at the same time. I said my goodbyes one last time and then walked away. It was a great morning indeed.

When I got home, I decided to do some cleaning too. I was almost done when there was a knock on the door. Sandy walked in looking bubbly, I was about to ask where her better half was when he walked in like he was the one paying rent to my apartment. "Liam you won't believe what an amazing idea Tate has for you. It's big. Come on T, tell him", she said jumping up and down making me curious.

"So, I kinda bought a restaurant for you. It was in the auction and it belonged to this old couple. They're retired and want to go live in their farmhouse. When the old dude was talking about his career and how he loved cooking, I thought of you so, I bought it, it's in your name so", he said giving me his phone. It was a very nice restaurant and the beach view was amazing.

"I can't take this man, you know I like doing things on my own, this is why I fight with Mum and Dad all the time. I know you had good intentions but I can't", I said returning the phone to him.

"Liam, am not mum or dad, I'm your brother, you can't possibly tell me you want to work at someone's cafeteria for the rest of your life man, come on", he tried explaining but I was not having it. I felt anger starting to build in me and I couldn't lose control in front of Sandy.

"Look, I appreciate the gesture, I really do, but I'm not going to explain myself to you. This is the life that I've chosen and I like it. Stop trying to control it", I said and I knew my voice was rising but knowing Tate the way I do, he was not going to back off. "Can we just take a bre-", Sandy tried to cut in but was interrupted by Tate.

"Liam. You need to stop being stubborn this is a good thing. I know we aren't close but am trying here", he said trying to make his voice calm but it was quite the opposite. He was demanding. I was not one of his servants, I was not going to say yes to everything he said just because he was famous and I was not. It's my life.

"Tate, I think you should listen to Sandy, she seems to have more brains than you right now", I said with a smirk next thing I knew I was hit on the face while Sandy screamed for him to stop. I tasted blood in my mouth, I spit it out and turned to look at him. "Get the fuck out!", I said angrily making Sandy rush to the door.
