Steffy and Liam (Friends or Lover's)?

Chapter Twenty Two

(Los Angeles )

Steffy stared at the text message Liam had sent her for what had to of been the 100th time.

Text message from Liam:  Hey Steffy. I'm sorry I've been M.I.A. the last week. I went to visit Brian for a few days. I just needed to get out of town after the whole Hope situation. I will be coming  back to Los Angeles soon. When I do, can we get together so we can talk? I will call you soon. Good Night Steffy.

Steffy sighed. She was glad Liam was okay. She had been so worried about him after the fashion show. Knowing that he was out of town and with Brian had been a big relief. Steffy hated thinking of Liam being somewhere heartbroken and alone. Now Steffy was left wondering what Liam wanted to talk to her about?

Steffy barely got any sleep that night. The whole morning at work she found it impossible to concentrate. When was Liam coming back to Los Angeles? What did he want to talk to her about? Did he want to clear the air again about what had happened between them in Las Vegas? Steffy was tempted to call Liam to find out what was going on, but she decided against it. Steffy had a feeling whatever Liam wanted to talk about needed to be done in person.

By lunch time Steffy decided not to worry about Liam's text and to focus on work. Whatever Liam needed to talk to her about, he would tell her when he got back to Los Angeles. Whenever that would be. A hour before Steffy left work she received a phone call from one of her girl friends to meet up for dinner that evening. Steffy happily excepted the dinner invite seeing as she had no plans that evening. It  would also be a great distraction from thinking about Liam.

(Later that evening)

Steffy got home that evening around 10:30pm. She was glad that she had gone out with her girlfriends for dinner. It was good to catch up with everyone and not think about work and just have girl time. When Steffy entered her condo and took of her coat and heels she sighed.

Steffy: Ahh. Home at last.

Steffy could feel the last few days catching up with her. She suddenly felt very tired. All she wanted was to do take a hot shower and relax with a nice glass of wine. Steffy went upstairs to her bedroom where she stripped out of her clothes and then hopped into the shower. After her shower, Steffy applied her favorite body lotion put on one of her favorite new negligee's from the bedroom line. It was a black silk satin slip with embellishment along the neckline of white embroidery. Steffy slipped on her matching black robe and made her way down to her kitchen. She found one of her best bottles of Cabernet sauvignon and poured herself a glass. Steffy settled in on her couch and turned on her television. She had just found a movie on t.v. to watch when she received a phone call from her door man.

Doorman: Hello Ms. Forrester.

Steffy: Hello Herald.

Doorman: Sorry to bother you so late, but you have a visitor.

Steffy checked the time. It was 11:30pm. Who would be stopping by this late to see her?

Steffy: It's a little late Herald.

Doorman: I agree Ms. Forrester. Normally I wouldn't bother you this late, but the gentleman, Mr. Spencer  said it's important he speak to you tonight.

Steffy: ( shocked) Liam! He's here?

Doorman: Yes. Liam Spencer. Do you want me to......

Steffy: Send him right up Herald.

Liam tried to calm his nerves as he rode the elevator up to Steffy's floor. Liam had been so anxious to talk to Steffy his whole flight home. He still had no idea what exactly he was going to say to her. Unfortunately Liam did not have his car at the airport so instead of going straight over to Steffy's from the airport he went home and dropped off his bags, took a quick shower and now he was in the elevator about to arrive at Steffy's floor any second.
