Overprotective

Chapter 18

Danielle's POV

We were cuddled on the couch, watching movies for the remainder of the afternoon when Liam's phone rang from upstairs. 

"Be right back love." he said kissing my forehead, before untangling himself from me and went to fetch his phone. He returned moments later and put his shoes and coat on. 

"Where are you going?"  I asked as he slipped on his beanie. He sighed, turning to face me. 

"There was a mix up at the gym, I've got to go sort it out, i'll be back in a bit love." he said kissing my forehead and turning to the front door. 

"Wait!" I said. "I want to come too." I said as I slipped on my shoes. He turned and looked at me, confusion crossing his features, then smiled at me. He walked over to me, as I was slipping my beanie on, and pressed a kiss to my lips, helping me get into my coat. 

"Why do you want to come?" he said as he grabbed my hand and his keys and made out way to the door. I shrugged my shoulders, looking up at him. 

"I want to see what you do."  I said, he smiled and squeezed my hand, raising it to press a kiss to the back. 

"Alright, but the problem is probably is only paperwork. Sorry you wont get to see the real thing." he playfully pouted, making me giggle. 

"I'm coming on Friday though remember?" I said. He opened the car door for me before speaking.

"That's right." he said as he kissed my cheek and closed the door. He pulled out of the driveway, and drove the twenty minute drive to the gym. He hopped out the car, and jogged around my side, to open the door for me. He took my hand and walked to the front door, to which he opened it for me. 

"Here, take your coat off, and hang it up on the hook." he said as he shrugged off his coat, me reflecting his movements. He then pressed a kiss to my nose and grasped my hand and led me to the back of the gym. I passed by various weight-lifting machines and sweaty bodies, as we walked to the a closed door. Liam opened the door for me and kissed my head as I went under his arm and into the office, making me giggle. He shut the door and grasped my hand again. He came to a halt as he knocked on the door, reading "Fitness Manager". A females voice was heard through the door, telling us to come in. 

We walked in to reveal a woman about my age, who was wearing training gear. She looked up and smiled at Liam. I was stood behind him so she couldnt see me, but I had a clear view of what she looked like. She was obviously fit, and she had long straight blonde hair, with a tan complexion and blue eyes. 

"Hi Liam, glad you could come in. Some of the women in your class have paperwork that needs to be filed, and I'm up to my ears in paperwork." she said as she shuffled through papers. 

"No problem Abigail. I have someone you should meet." Liam responded as he tugged me round to the front, setting his hands on my hips, pressing a kiss behind my ear. Before he could introduce me, she spoke up.

"Liam i've told you before, you can call me Abby." she said as she looked up for a moment, but then snapped her head back up to look at me. 

"Abigail, this is my girl friend Danielle. Dani, this is my boss." he said politely. Sadness circled in her eyes as she looked me up and down, and smiled an insincere smile at me. Hatred now replacing the sadness. 

"The one who you asked for the week off because she was sick? Because she looks fine to me" she questioned looking back at Liam. Before he had a chance to get a sentence in I but in. 

"I'm feeling much better, Liam has been taking great care of me." I said, making her obviously roll her eyes, to which I noticed, but Liam was oblivious, as his face was buried in my neck pressing light kisses. 

"Well, I'm off to file the paperwork. Be back soon." he said as he grasped my hand again and led me to another office. I sat down on one of the chairs and looked around his office. He had pictures of all of his friends, and sisters, but one picture stood out ot me. hung up right beside his sisters. It was an old picture, judging by the quality; it had wrinkly sides and it was fading. It was of Liam and two older people, one male and female. Liam was obviously younger, sporting a longer hairstyle smiling brightly at the camera. His smile matching the older woman's. It finally clicked. These were his parents.

"That's mum and dad." he whispered behind me. I turned around and realized how close we were. I pulled him in for a hug and he pressed his chin on my shoulder. 

"You look like your mum." I commented. I felt his smile, and he nodded. He pulled away and pressed his lips to mine in a sweet kiss. We both pulled away, and he sighed. 

"I have to get this paperwork done." he said and pressed another kiss to my lips and turned around to finish filing. I looked on his desk and smiled when I saw a picture of Liam and I when we went to the park, sitting right in the center. 

*Flashback* 

"Liam stop taking pictures!" I squealed as I heard the shutter go off on his camera, that was aimed at me. He just shook his head and snapped more pictures, making me laugh even harder and shield my face. I then heard the shutters go off and I peeked through my fingers. He was walking over to me, smiling a mischevious smile. He then reached out for my hips and began tickling me mercilessly. 

"Why!" I cried out in between laughter. As he started laughing with me. I tried tickling him back but he would just flip me over and tickle me in a new spot. He suddenly stopped as our laughter died down, and laid beside me in the grass. He then picked up the camera and faced it at us, He then turned to me and pulled a funny face making me laugh, and that's when the shutter went off. 

*End of Flashback* 

I was smiling down at the photo in the frame, and Liam came over and smiled at me. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my shoulder. 

" I want a copy of this." I said as I put the picture back in its place. He smiled and nodded mumbling that he would get another copy developed. "All done filing?"  I said as I turned around in his hold, he nodded and pressed a kiss to my lips. 

"Come on love, time to go home." He said as he checked his watch, I looked at the clock on the wall, it saying that it was 8:57pm. He grasped my hand and led me back to his boss' office. He opened the door and peeked his head through. "See ya later Abigail." he called. 

"Bye Liam! Bye Danielle!" she called back, me calling reflecting her words. Liam closed the door and kissed my forehead and then we walked towards the front. I noted that the gym was empty. 

"What time does the gym close?" he checked his watch.

"Well its a Tuesday so 8:30pm." he said looking around before turning the lights off. "Come on love." he said as he grasped my hand again and led me to the car. 

"Can I come to your class on Friday?" I asked. He looked down at me as he opened the car door before replying. 

"I didn't know you still wanted to go." he said as he kissed my lips and jogged around his side of the car. He closed the door and started the car. 

"Well yeah, I mean I know i'm not 100% better but i'm pretty sure I will be, by Friday, and plus I have never seen what you do before, Im curious" I said as I shrugged. He grasped my hand over the console and smiled. 

"Alright, we can stay over at mine on Thursday, and go together on Friday. Sound good?" he said as his eyes glanced over my way, before focusing on the road again. I nodded in agreement, my eyes getting sleepy. I leaned my head on the window, and shut my eyes. Liam was rubbing circles into m hand, setting me off into a blissful nap. 

ugh suckish.
