Chapter 26
It’s been a few days since Liam came by. It was all I could think about. So to take my mind off the Liam situation, I opened my chat messenger and clicked on GB152’s username. Good thing he was online.
Cupcake101: I’ve been thinking about this. And I think we should meet.
I tapped my fingertips on the table as I anxiously awaited his reply. What if he didn’t want to meet me? I’d be so humiliated!
GB152: We should meet and we will meet.
I smiled like crazy when I read his reply. He does want to meet me!
GB152: But…
My smile turned into a frown. Why is there always a catch?
GB152: I’m in the middle of a project that needs tweaking.
Ok so I’m still going to meet me, just not anytime soon. That’s a bummer.
Cupcake101: Ok. Got to go. Just message me when you’re free. :)
I signed off the site and turned my computer off. I changed into a white lace shirt and pink skinny jeans then slipped on my cream colored flats. I got my pocketbook and went out the door with my bag on my shoulder.
I feel like having coffee this morning so I walked to the nearest Starbucks. I waited in line before placing my order, a tall vanilla latte and a chocolate cookie. I got my tray of food and sat on the table near the window. I took out my current read, Lock & Key by Sarah Dessen, and opened it to the right page. I broke a chunk of cookie and put it in my mouth, savouring the chocolaty flavour.
I was reading quietly, while drinking my latte when a knock interrupted me. I lifted my head to see who it was. Liam was standing outside, in front of the glass window. I didn’t move as he walked inside of the café and sat down next to me.
“Hey, Bree.” He greeted me with one of his million dollar smiles. “Fancy seeing you here.”
I felt my lips curl into a smile. I swivelled in my chair to face him and said, “Hi Liam.”
“What’s up?” He asked me.
“Oh, you know the ceiling.” I say sarcastically.
Liam rolled his eyes at me. “I mean really.”
I thought about something to say and came up with, “I thought about what you said. You know, the meet him thing.”
“And?” Liam prodded.
“I asked him if he wants to meet me.” I paused dramatically before saying, “He said yes.”
“That’s great!” Liam said with a genuine smile.
“But.”
“There’s always a catch.” He said, shaking his head. Huh. We have the same reaction.
“That’s what I said.” I smiled. “Well, he said that he can’t meet me anytime soon because he has a project that needs a bit of tweaking.”
“Tweaking?” He asked in disbelief. “A project that needs ‘tweaking’?” He said, putting air quotes on the word.
“Yeah, that’s what he said.” I told him as I sipped my latte.
“It’s sounds to me like he’s married with three kids.” Liam concluded.
