I Can't Stop [Niam]

Chapter 9

I am so sorry that it took this long to update. I meant to update yesterday, but I had a terrible headache. Hopefully, this update will make up for it though?

_____________________________________________________________________________

Tutoring with Liam has gone by smoothly. It’s too early to tell how well it’s going, but I can already tell a difference. Spanish is starting to become a little bit more understandable for me. Liam told me earlier today that math is beginning to stop looking like a foreign language to him. So, I guess tutoring is going good.

Things were kind of awkward with Liam at first. I knew he was still dying to know what happened over the weekend or why I was avoiding, but he never physically asked though. That’s what I like about him; he does pester you into telling him something. He waits until you are ready to tell him yourself. Too bad I won’t be coming to him anytime soon; there is nothing wrong with me.

I can’t remember the last time Liam and I hung out without there being anyone else around. I have been keeping myself away from him. I just don’t trust myself around him, I feel like I would let it slip out that I am in love with him. So, I distanced myself. By distancing myself from him, I distanced myself from the entire group.

But things have gotten better. Tutoring with Liam has made us closer in a way. For a while, I forget about all my insecurities and I just focus on Liam. And I know that’s not such a good thing, but I can’t help it. I may have fallen even more in love after spending time with him and it’s only been four days. So basically, I’m screwed.

“God!” Liam slammed his book closed, bringing me back to reality. “If I look at one more math problem I think my head is going to explode!”

I giggled at his cuteness and then looked down at my Spanish book in disgust. “Yeah and if I look at one more thing is Spanish I think I’m going to throw up.”

He laughed at me. “We should probably just call it a quits then because we wouldn’t that to happen.” He winked at me after saying that.

I blushed bright red and hid my face in my hands for a second. I hate how Liam has this effect on me.

“So Ni, do you want to spend the night tomorrow night? I know we don’t have tutoring or anything tomorrow since its Friday, but I thought it would be cool if we could have a bros night.”

I whipped my head out of my hands and gave him a quizzical look. “Don’t you usually do something with Sophia on Friday nights?”

He groaned. “I don’t want to talk about her right now.”

I felt my heart beat faster and a new sense of hope filled me. I didn’t let it show though. Instead I gave him a look that is somewhere between curious and sympathetic. “What happened?”

“I don’t know. I just find her so clingy and needy and it really gets on my nerves. Besides, she and I aren’t attached at the hip. We don’t have to spend every Friday together. Tomorrow I just want to have a bros night and not worry one bit about her.” He explained.

I nodded. “Alright, do you need me to call the guys and tell them about the guys night or do you got it?”

I saw a faint blush appear on his cheeks. This is the second time I have seen Liam blushed ever and it happens in the same week. And it’s bugging me not knowing why Liam is blushing.

“Actually, I just kind of want it to be me and you tomorrow. Kind of like old times, you know?” He had this small adorable smile on his face and I think I just fell in love with just a bit more.
