The Night Watchman

Night Time Ice Cream

Liam's P.O.V

I was making my rounds when I saw October. She was in a long sleeved nightgown and sandals. I waslked up to her and cleared my throat She jumped and looked at me. A sheepishly.

"Um I'm sorry. I got hungry and wanted some ice cream." She said. "I'm sorry Miss for frightening you. I'll show you to the ice cream." I said, holding out my amr for her to take.

She turned red and smiled as she took my awaiting arm. She looked so adorable blushing that cute shade of red.

NO! I cant think like that. She cant and will never be mine.

I lead her to get her ice cream and she got a fudge bar. But she surprised me by handing me one. "I'd like you to join me." She said. I hesitantly took the ice cream from her and opened mine like she opened hers.

We sat and enjoyed eachothers company.

"I guess my brother will be staying with me or his guard." She said looking at her phone. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"My dad's girlfriend, Jed, Is coming tomorrow. She had a photoshoot today and couldn't come today. So I'm sure Alex wont be sleeping with my dad from now on. And you and other men will be distracted." She seemed to not like this Jed.

"Am I sensing some hostel feelings?" I asked. She shrugged. "You can say that." She sighed. "She is this tall beautiful woman. But she is at least eleven years younger then my dad. ANd she thinks she can have and do what she wants." I saw her look around.

"She loves how dangerous my father is and his money. And she says how good in bed he is. Gross." I smirked. She shyly looked up at me and turned a bit pink.

"Sorry. I'm rambling." She said. "No. Please continue. You seem to need to get things off your chest. I'm here for you. It's my job to listen to the guests....Not that I'm only listening because its my job or anything!" I panicked a bit.

She giggled.

"I understand. And thank you." She said. I nodded. "So please. Continue." I said. Her smile dropped. And told me everything.

Her father only saw her as a way to make more money.

"I haven't even had a boyfriend. I'm not even aloud. I'm almost twenty five and I haven't even had my first kiss. I'm pathetic. I'm going to be sold to someone I will most likely never love and who wont ever love me back."  I noticed tears in her eyes a see that she has been holding in this anger and pain inside her for a long time.

I hugged her. By now we have finished our frozen treat.

"You are a very good listener Mr. Adams." She said, pulling away chuckling a bit. She wiped her eyes. I smiled caringly. She reminded me of Lila. So much.

We looked at the time. She sighed. "I guess I should get to bed. Sweet Dreams Liam." She said. I smiled and nodded as I stood.

I went back to my job and then went to bed.
