Chapter 23: Occurrence

Since it was my house, I decided to go barefoot. I also made this decision because I could not decide on a damn shoe to wear and Alia didn't have my time since she was helping Niall with everything last minute.

I don't know why, but Alia was so into this dinner thing. Niall and I had to watch how she roamed around, making sure there was enough alcohol, or that the food was spicy enough.

I didn't want to question her and neither did Niall, so we just stayed out of her way and let her do what she wanted, how she wanted it. Bossy Alia was the Alia we had experienced throughout the day and it was not one of my favorite Alia's.

When she was ninety-nine percent sure everything was in order, she relaxed and we had a glass of wine together before going to freshen up. It was after I had put on my outfit, I realized that my best footwear for the night will be my bare feet itself.

After I had finished getting dolled up, my feet led me out of my room and I followed the killer aroma into the kitchen, where Niall was staring something in a pan and Alia was aggressively chopping carrots.

I stare at her from her blonde head to her heel clad feet with a smile. "Aw, don't you look ferociously cute today."

She scowls at me, pointing the knife in my direction. "Don't even start."

I laugh; walking further into the kitchen and also towards Niall's direction, being near Alia who had a knife wasn't the best idea. "Niall, will you tell her to chill out? Its not a big deal, it's just dinner that we eat every day, but with like more people."

Alia stops cutting and glares at me. "Yes, it is dinner that we eat everyday but for the fact that we are having guests, it should be perfect." Then she slices into the carrot.

"You know, you should have ended up being an event planner," Niall speaks up. "Not a computer geek." Alia just gives Niall the finger and he sticks he's tongue out at her childishly.

Truth was that Alia looked more like a fashion obsessed lady. She looked like someone who spends hours in front of a mirror than someone who is a computer wizard. Looks can be really deceiving.

They both cease their childish act when the doorbell goes off; informing us that someone on the list has indeed shown up. And that was when Alia took off in a sprint and flung the door open, enveloping our first guest in a hug.

"Hey, babe." She cooed, pulling away from him after leaving a sweet peck on his lips.

Her babe was dressed in a grey shirt underneath a black leather jacket and dark jeans, still looking as striking as he was when I had meet him earlier. Alia led her babe into the apartment and it was then Niall and I decided to show ourselves.

"Hey, Liam," We said in unison, which took both Liam and Alia by surprise.

"Uh, hey, Niall and Lian, nice to see you guys again." He laughs. "Ah, you have such a lovely home, Lian." He commented.

"Oh, thank you. It's nice to see you too." I smile at him and he smiles back.

"Okay, this is lovely and all but I've got to go freshen up since some bitches have been putting me to work for a really long time now and I feel sticky." Niall announces, which earns a chuckle from Liam and an eye roll from his girlfriend.

"I'll be back. Don't miss me too much." He announces, almost yelling, and was out the door.

I offered Liam a drink, which he gladly accepted. We settled in the dinning area, waiting on the arrival of the other guests and to kill time, Liam told us adorable stories about Redbull while Alia hovered around him adoringly, which I could only smile too.
