    When we got to my home I unbuckled my seat belt and headed inside to pack. I pushed open the door, getting questioning looks from Kalemia, Jeff, and Audrenia. It was when I had explained to them what was going on that Audrenia began to sob and Kalemia wouldn't let me go. I had to have Jeff pry the two off of me so that I could pack and leave before Liam became impatient.

     I was upstairs in my room packing when I heard a commotion in the living room. Swearing under my breath I stopped what I was doing and made my way downstairs. I spotted Liam and Jeff brawling on the floor along with a frightened Kalemia and Audrenia. I huffed as I lifted a piece of earth and pushed towards the fighting men. The force of the earth knocked them off of their feet as they both gawked at me. I glared at them and retreated upstairs to retrieve my belongs.

     When Liam told me that his house had a library I was thrilled. The way he laughed at me as I picked up my favorite book and scurried around his house in search for it still rang in my ears. When I actually found it, with a little help from Liam, I was way too excited. As I gazed at the furnished wooden book cases and the cream colored walls. I couldn't help but think that there must be hundreds of books here! When I saw the window seat with some deep red cushions I couldn't help but smile. I looked down at my book that read 'His Kiss by Melanie Marks.'

     I carried it over to the little reading nook and sat in the window seat. I opened it up to the first page and began to read it. Several hours later, I finished the heart-fluttering story and began another. It was in fact, the second book to the "His Kiss" sequel. A sharp knock sounded throughtout the room as I read. I sighed and placed the book down and walked over to the door. When I opened it, Liam stood in front of me. His gaze fell down due to his height and looked into my hazel eyes. I've never felt so intimidated yet excited before. I mean, here is this 6'3" guy standing above my 5'8" frame-that's intimidating to me. "Hey." Liam said in a husky voice. I felt my knees buckle and my stomach twist in knots.  Lord have mercy on me. I thought to myself quietly.
