Until There Was You

Liam

Chapter 14

*Liam*

I am livid, how dare they speak about her like that when not one of them even gave her a chance. Unfaithful to Mellissa are they fucking delusional?!  I go in search of Nate and Lexi, I can't wait to take her home away from this nightmare and just lose myself in her. She looks so beautiful tonight it's a shame it was a disaster orchestrated by my own Mother.

I hear Nate's voice and make my way toward it '.......upsetting you.' He is talking sweetly and my stomach churns, I know I was harsh in there but I didn't mean to upset her.

As I round the corner I feel sick with jealousy as I take them in before me. They are standing not even inches apart, her hand on his shoulder smiling at him and he is smiling back running his thumbs over her cheeks. What the fuck?!

'Well this looks cozy.' I spit my voice dripping with that much contempt I barely recognize it myself. He jumps back away from her and she hangs her head. Guilty as fucking charged.

'If you value your life I would get out of my sight and keep your fucking hands off my girl.' I snarl through gritted teeth.

'Dude whatever you think that was, your way off.' He explains. Do I look stupid, I know what I saw!

'What I saw was you making a move on my girlfriend the minute my back is turned, Dude.' I sneer.

'Making a move...your bat shit crazy.' He looks affronted but I don't buy it.

'Alexis car now. You this isn't over.' I point at Nate.

'Damn right this isn't over, I want a fucking sorry and I want it now.' He argues.

'Don't push me right now Nate.' I seethe 'Alexis.Car.Now.' I yell at her unmoving form and she flinches. Oh God.

'Liam don't fucking yell at her, your being an arsehole.' He fumes. 'You don't have to go with him, you know that don't you?' He tells her softly and its just fuels the fire inside me.

'Believe me she has escaped bigger threats than me.' I know it's a dick move but I am so angry I can't help it. She looks at me like I have just kicked her in the stomach but silently gets in the car. Once she is inside I turn to my so called best friend.

'We are done here, Mate.' I spit the last part in disgust as I get in my side.

'LIKE HELL WE ARE!!' I hear him shout but don't care, I am done with him.

I sit in the back of the Bentley and take my tie off, I want to speak to Lexi but I don't know what to say. On one hand I am so angry she would flirt with my best friend, on the other I feel guilty about what I said about her. I didn't mean to, my mouth ran away with me.

She stares out the window and an uncomfortable silence lingers in the air, none of us speak or even make eye contact. The only sound that can be heard is of her soft sniffling that lets me know she is crying. I feel like an arsehole, maybe she would be better off with Nate.

When we pull up I jump out the car not bothering to wait for Dem to open the door so he opens hers instead. I storm through the house, shedding my shoes in the hall and my jacket on the sofa.

I make my way to the glass cabinet and pour myself a very much needed, very large Brandy taking a big sip. She walks through the room not even acknowledging me and head to the guest room I assume as I hear the door slam. Great she is ignoring me, well let her I think as I slump down onto the sofa, glass in hand. Maybe I got it wrong? Maybe I am over reacting a touch? Can she blame me? I wonder how she would feel if she found me and Mellissa like that? I think back to earlier when Mellissa threw herself at me and Lexi just looked amused, didn't she care? Wasn't she the least bit jealous? Maybe I don't mean anything to her after all? I muse to myself.
