"Your Still The One?" A Liam Fanfic Sequel to "Nobody Compares" by EB

Chapter 24

Liam's POV:

             "Eric. Um, Hi." A small and confuse smile is plastered on Darlyn's face.

            " Good. So what brings you here?" he says looking at her with shiny bright eyes. Can he not see that I am sitting right across from her.

            " I could ask you the same thing. I'm just visiting my -"

            "boyfriend's family. Liam, nice to meet you" I say cutting her off as I stand to my feet but I don't feel the need of extending my hand to greet him. Who is this guy though?

            "I see." as he slightly nods while placing his hands in his jean pocket.

            " I'm just around in town for a few days." he continues     quite shortly as he changes his eyes to meet hers.

            "Oh that's great I guess. Where are you staying?" she asks way too politely. Why does she care?

            "Just around, its the traveler's life remember?" he winks at her.

            "Um pardon me how do you two know each other again?" I ask harsher tone as I wave my index finger in front of me across the both of their directions.

            "Eric helped get back to the hotel the night I got lost in France" she says non chanlantly.

            "What?!"

            "Yea, mate it was no big deal, it was just a ride " he says smiling at her.

            "You rode with ...him?" my last few words are stretched out in annoyance.

            "Yea I had no other choice I was stranded"  her eyes look over me passively pleading me to not start a scene.  The air seemed a little thick and I think we all sensed it for a minute there.

            "Well I have to go but um it was nice seeing you again. By the way you look different I think its the fact that your smile is back. Oh and you still have my number. " He stares at her with a smirk on his face and I can feel this sudden rage inside of me starting and wanting to knock off the grin from his face.

            "Cheers mate" he says towards me as he walks out.

            "Did that idiot just made a pass at you right in front of my face?" I know my face has reddened cause I can feel the sudden heat inside of me.

            "Liam, don't" she says pulling me down back to my seat with her hands wrap around my wrist. I flinch removing them

             " How come you never told me about him giving you a ride and the fact that you have his number? Are you crazy how the hell did you get in a car with some stranger you barely knew. He could have..."

            "Liam lower your voice and stop making a scene we are in a restaurant"

            "I could careless where we are. He could have done something to you!"

            "I know but he didn't. He was polite and he brought me safe and sound."

            " Liam, you have to trust me and give me a little more credit than that. For all that its worth I am sorry. But I'm here now, we both are."
