Last Chance: Rock Romance #2

Chapter Fifteen

Natalie

In about an hour, Liam and I head to my doctor's office. Layla left for the early shift at the bar. They left me with no choice but to make an appointment. For the past few days I have been getting sick. At randomly odd times, and then I feel fine minutes after.

Layla is a germ freak about getting, sick and she believes I have a virus that I can risk giving her, and although she is well off, she would go crazy without work. If she were to walk in there sick, they would send her right on home.

I awoke with Liam already in the kitchen. I can hear him making noises, and I can smell that he's making breakfast. I quickly grab some clothes and throw them on. I walk into the kitchen and see my coffee hot and on the counter waiting for me. It's strange to think I've only known him for such a short time. He meshes well with Layla and I. One thing I do know is that when he does decide that he has to go back on tour, I am going to miss him like crazy.

"Are you all dressed and ready to head out?" Liam says from behind me.

I take a sip of my coffee before replying. I think it's a redundant question, since I haven't even had a chance to drink a few cups of this heaven. Coffee always first.

"I am guessing you've been awake for almost two hours now. I say this, because you rise with the sun. And you know I cannot operate on one measly little sip of caffeine. Plus, the appointment's not for another hour and it only takes twenty minutes to get there." I reply, then go back to sipping on my steamy cup of brew.

"Fine, I'll clean up here. You better be ready by the time I'm done. I have a surprise after." Liam says giddily.

I'm not much for surprises. If it's a gift, chances are I am not in need of it. Anything that I need, I get for myself. If it is going somewhere, chances are I have already seen it, if it interests me. I hate to sound ungrateful, but I also hate faking a surprise, especially when it's a friend that I have to act astonished for. Maybe I should warn him now.

"Uh...Liam." I say nervously. I don't want to come off as a bitch, but better to ruin that sinful smile of his now. He stops cleaning the dishes he had dirtied from his breakfast, and turns to look my way.

"Yes Princess?"

"I'm not big on surprises. You should just tell me where you plan on taking me now. There is a reason I didn't become an actress. Well there's a few reasons, and faking shock isn't one of them." I tell him.

"You're not getting it out of me that easy."

I roll my eyes in his direction.

"Whatever. Don't say I didn't warn you."

I set the now empty cup in the sink and go back to my room to get my purse. Coming back out, I tell Liam that I'm ready to go.

My doctor's office is a decent drive away from my apartment. I put the address in the navigation system for Liam to follow along. He's learned where all of the basic places are in Boston, but hasn't traveled this far out without needing directions.

I stay quiet pretty much the whole ride, so he can hear the computerized voice that's telling him where to go. When we arrive, Liam remarks how he thinks we aren't at the right place.

"No, this is it." I tell him.

"Are you sure? It looks like someone's house. I don't want to get arrested for trespassing when I walk into their living room."

"Liam, I have been here before you know. I would tell you if this wasn't it." It's been a few months since I've been here, but I still know what the outside looks like.
