SEEKER

Chapter 3

"I like you a lot Liam"

My mouth parts open as I stare blankly to the woman who has never divulged her affection towards me. She was the one who ignored me when I was attempting to do Paul's favor. If Paul was not my father like figure I would have never did such for her.

"I don't know what made me, but I just suddenly realized I like you"

I grasp her words as I let it sink in. It would be easier for me to tell her I like her back if only I knew how. I can't let my feelings show and turn my back to father. I can't.

I must hurt her.

A loud chuckle escapes my lips. Her lips, forming a straight line as she look at me in bafflement.

"Was that because of the kiss?"

Her eyes gloss with tears as she narrow her gaze on me.

I genuinely want to turn her frown away because I'd rather want to see the simple yet beautiful grin plaster on her alluring features. No. I need to stop these thoughts before I can no longer take it back.

"Come on Andie," I say gripping on my leather jacket while I endeavor to position it behind my back.

"You didn't thought that meant something, right?," I ask her even though I am already aware of the riposte.

"I do that to most girls" I sneer.

As likely as not, I suppose I have push the button. The colors from her face drains as her eyes enable the tears to trickle down her cheeks. Her brown eyes peers at me disgustingly.

"I just confessed to you Liam" She huffs

"So you expect me to tell you I like you back?" I question.

Paul appears behind her, but he momentary halts as he glances back and forth to Andie and me.

He has the knowledge of how I must pain her with words in able for her to go stay away from me. It's best for her to not be familiar with everything I do or what Paul has done.

"Don't be stupid Liam!" She yells

I am suddenly compelled to take a step back as soon as I hear her voice race.

"You," She points her index finger at my chest. I can feel the bravery gushing through her vein as she scowls at me. But being the careless man I presented her during when I was keeping her safe, I stand in front of her emotionless. "Tell me you don't have any feelings towards me"

"I don't ha..."

She cuts me off. "No!"

I am nearly on the verge of kissing those ideal lips, but I am terminating that thought away. It's not right. She and I will never be right.

"Andie"

"Not a little bit Liam"

My eyes falls from Paul as he shakes his head. The way he peeps at me is sending me awareness that he has scrutinized my mind. Yes, a part of me has given up from confessing my feelings for her, but I have to jog my memory that she isn't the basis why I came back to London.

"I never had any feelings towards you" I lower my gaze to her as my eyes, not ever flutter. "or ever will"

I take a moment to step back from Andie. For some odd reason, I want her to respond. I want her to fight for what she feels. Maybe then, I'd take chance to run away with her. But until then, there is nothing between us.

In the absence of her retort, I briskly turn around and amble towards my room. My strides alters as I took larger ones. Now, I want to scream at her. She has been too obstinate. If only I haven't received Paul's gesticulation, then I would have probably avow the feelings that are concealed inside of me. What the hell am I thinking?!
