Until There Was You

Liam

Chapter 7

*Liam*

'Okay, email me the details when it's complete and email a copy to Mr Yumi please Abi.' I instruct my PA as i drive through my black cast iron gates. I feel like a love sick teenager girl, all love struck and mushy over Lexi. I can hardly contain my excitement to see her. She looked so cute this morning when i checked on her before i lift. God how i wished i could of crawled in beside her and wrapped her in my arms and shut out the world. Oh dear god, I'm turning into a chick.

As i walk through the door butterflies erupt in my belly as i take her in, she looks even more beautiful i the sunlight. In my clothes she looks so fragile, i am over come with a urge to protect this girl, from the world and from life. Whoa were did that come from?

'Going somewhere?' I tease, amused at her shocked face.

'Your Fiancee asked me to leave.' My what? Its its my turn to be confused and shocked. I mean i am pretty sure, scrap that i am positive i would remember proposing to someone.

'What? Who? Excuse me, what did you say?' I can't even string together a sentence.

'Liam honey, your little friend was just leaving...... you and i need to talk, don't you agree?' a squeaky, high pitch voice rings through the air answering my question. I look at Lexi, my eyes pleading for her to let me explain but she just shakes her head. The hurt in her eyes hits me hard, shit! Please don't let her leave me i offer as a silent prayer.

'Wait here.....Please.' I beg and she looks reluctant but nods. I go in search of my 'Fiancee' it's a good job i don't hit women.

'What or should i say how are you here?' I demand, anger laced in my words but she doesn't seem fazed. She sits there on my sofa legs crossed looking very much at home and my mind boggles.

'I came to surprise you but it appears i was the one who got the surprise. Has your little friend gone now? Really Liam I will not tolerate this behaviour when we are married.' The disgust in words mirrors her expression.

'Have you lost your damn mind? When did i ever say i wanted to marry you?' I try to keep calm, honestly i do. 'When i have i ever gave you the impression i wanted you, period?'

'Your Mother and I were talking after we had lunch yesterday and she said it would be any day now.' My fucking Mother, I should of known.

'My Mother also swears she has never had Botox, i mean honestly.' I scoff.

'Rose is an amazing woman, you should be ashamed of yourself talking about your own Mother that way.'

'The woman is all kinds of crazy if she thinks i want to marry you.'

She looks insulted as she stands up and brushes the creases out of her hideous pink suit.

'Be careful Mellissa it seems catching.' I sneer maliciously.

'I am going to leave now and we can discuss this like adults when you have calmed down.' she states calmly' and for heavens sake Liam get tested, i don't want to catch anything on our wedding night.' I am lost for words as she storms out, I have more chance of catching god only knows what off her and there will never be a wedding night.

I am pacing the room dragging my hands though my hair. My own Mother, how the hell could she? I am 24 years old for crying out loud. I was snapped out of my thoughts and the plotting of my Mothers demise when i notice the presence by the doorway.

'Jesus Lexi, I am so so sorry you had to endure that.'

'So she is not you Fiancee?' she asks timidly.
