Overprotective

Chapter 10

The week went by quickly and before I knew it, it was Friday. Liam came to pick me up at work. I told Ted about my plans on Friday and I guess he opted not to come to work that day. 

“Hello love.” Liam greeted me as he pressed a small kiss to my lips and opened my door for me. He was in a gray button down shirt and black jeans and sporting white converse. His hair was spiked upwards. He looked good. 

“You look nice.” I said as my eyes scanned every inch of him. 

“Thanks baby.” He breathily laughed as he grasped my hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it. The car ride was filled with conversation as I told Liam about my day and he respectfully listened and pitched in every now and then. We shared playful banter once in a while when we pulled up to my house. 

“Come on, I know how long it takes you women to get ready.” He playfully winked at me. 

“Hmm I couldn’t agree with you more.” I teased him as he opened my door and grasped my hand. We padded up to my door step, fingers entwined as I pulled out my keys and opened the door for me and Lilo jumped on Liams legs. 

“Woah, someone’s happy to see you.” I joked as he picked up Lilo and rubbed her head.

“She’s getting so big, I might not be able to carry her much longer.” He said as he set her down as he put her on the top of the staircase. 

“I highly doubt that.” I said in a daze as I scanned his arms, his muscles were on display as he carried Lilo round the house. When he set her down I couldn’t help myself before I reached a hand out and squeezed a bicep making him laugh. 

“Do you like my arms?” he joked as he playfully flexed making me giggle. 

“They’re massive, you could probably carry the couch.” I joked as we walked together to my bedroom. 

“Can you help me pick out a dress please?” I said as I opened my closet. 

“Sure. By the way, pack some comfortable clothes for tomorrow, so we don’t need another half-hour delay.” He joked as he sat on my bed and faced the closet. I scanned the dresses in my closet until I came up with two decisions. I then walked out of the closet and asked Liam what he thought.

“Okay which one?” I said as I held up a blue dress and a black and gray one. He then looked up from his phone and stared at the dresses. 

“Um the black and gray one.” He said to me. he then took my unconvinced expression and leaned forward and concentrated on each dress. I held up the blue dress a little higher and pushed it forward a little more. He seemed to understand what I was doing and made a decision.

“The blue one.” He said with a smile.

“Oh yes I like this one too!” I said to him and then pressed a kiss to his cheek and walked into the bathroom to get changed. I was doing my makeup when he knocked on the door. I opened the door and he opened his mouth to say something and then closed it as he scanned my body from head to toe making me blush and shyly smile at him.

“time almost go is up need we to. Wait that’s not right..” he said as he stumbled over his words making me smile and press a kiss to his cheek. I grabbed my bag with the extra clothes and plopped it on my bed. 

“Got it, time’s almost up, let me just put on my shoes and then we can go.” I said as I returned to the mirror and put the finishing touches to my makeup and stepped in my flats and grabbed my purse. Liam was still in the same position when I stepped in front of him and traced his eyelashes with my finger and he pressed his lips to the inside of my wrist.
