Last First Kiss #Wattys2014

Chapter 24

I walk towards the Art Gallery, glad to see that there were only two guards standing outside. Liam had kept his word in not sending a few more guards from management. It was a bright sunny day, just perfect for opening an art gallery.

I grab the keys out of my purse and open the door. Taking in the smell of the fine wooden floor, I smile. I waltz around the place to make sure that every single art piece was put to perfection. I still can't believe that this day has finally cone.

A few minutes later, Camille - my art manager, walks in. She approaches me with a smile as she held a folder. "Morning, Lexi." she greets. "Ready for the big day?" she asks.

I nod and smile back at her, "I'm ready, but I do have to admit that I am feeling quite nervous." reply, biting my lower lip. "What if no one buys my art pieces?" 

She chuckles, "There's nothing to be nervous about. Half of your art pieces have been bought already. Once this opening is done, we will send them to the buyer." she tells me.

My eyes immediately become wide, "What?" I ask, wondering if I had heard right. "Someone already bought my art pieces even if they haven't seen it yet?"

"The person claims to have already seen your art pieces. I thought you knew." she replies. "Here, look. The name sounds rather familiar to me. I swear I've heard it from somewhere." she says, taking a piece of paper out of the folder she was carrying.

It was a list. In the first column was a list of all my art pieces. The second column was the status of the art pieces - whether it was still available or already bought. And the last column was the name of the buyer, in case it was already bought. I scan the paper, wondering who this mysterious buyer was.

I smile at the sight of his name, "Liam." I whisper.

Camille smiles, "I'm taking it that he's your boyfriend?" she asks, and I nod in reply. "Oh my gosh! I know who he is! He's in that band called 'The Wanted', right?"

I laugh, "No. He's in One Direction, not The Wanted." I tell her.

"Oh." she says, finally getting it right. "Anyways, we're going to open in a few minutes. The rest of the crew will be here."

My phone loudly beeps in my purse, "I'll be ready in a few seconds!" I tell her as she walks away. I take my phone out of my purse to see a message from Liam. I smile at the sight of his contact name. He had changed it so that it would be a constant reminder of his love for me. Chessy, I know. That's what I told him. Tsk. 

LiamLovesYOU

Hey babe! Our concert is going to start in a few seconds. I'm basically on stage, typing this message in a hurry. Please check your email, I sent you a video and please watch it. I LOVE YOU! :) x

"Camille!" I yell, hoping that she would hear me. She was by the doors to the entrance talking to a security guard. Her head turns to face me with a puzzled look.

She walks back to me in a hurry, "What's wrong?" she asks, looking very worried.

I smile sweetly, "Did you bring your laptop with you?" I ask her. 

She lets out a huge sigh, shaking her head. "I thought there was something wrong." She opens her bag at takes out her laptop and gives it to me, "Here you go, sweetie." 

"Thanks." I tell her. I immediately turn it on and log-in to my email quickly. Sure enough, there was one unread message from Liam. There was no message, only a video attached to the email. I click on the video and it opens. I tap my fingers on the keyboard impatiently, while it buffers.
