The Unexpected Couple

Chapter Six

"Are you hungry?" I ask him as he makes himself comfortable on the couch.

"Nope. But I'm a little thirsty." He says with a wink. I roll my eyes and walk into the kitchen and grab my bowl of grapes. When I walk back into the living room he is inspecting the universal remote and trying to figure out how to use it I'm guessing. I chuckle at him a little before snatching it out of his hands and setting it on the table.

"You are here to work on a project not inspect my remote." I say. He laughs before looking around the room.

"Holy hell. Your house is freaking huge." He says. I shrug a bit.

"It's a little too big for one person if you ask me."

"You live here alone?!"

"Well no not really, but it feels like I do most of the time. My dad is a lawyer and my mom is a doctor, so they aren't home much."

"Ah. Well that explains the name brand clothes and Audi." He says smirking. I laugh and smile back at him. He fist pumps the air with a "Yes!". I jump back slightly at the action.

"What the hell was that about?" I say with a laugh.

"I've made you laugh twice today... Well three times I guess." I roll my eyes at him before grabbing my Literature folder off of the coffee table. I lean back and put my feet on the table. Liam look at my legs before looking back at my face.

"Yes you can do the same thing but take your boots off." I say. He slides his boots off revealing his black socks and I take this opportunity to check him out. He is wearing black skinny jeans, with a white v-neck, and a Bulls snap back. I don't realize I'm still staring until he speaks.

"Take a picture babe it lasts longer." He says with a smirk. I look away quickly and feel my cheeks heat up. "Aw look how cute you are when you blush."

"Shut up." I mumble. "Let's get to work." He nods and scoots a little closer to me so he is looking over my shoulder at the paper. I discreetly take a whiff of his smell and he smells like an interesting mix of axe and mint. I shake my head to rid it of the smell and begin talking about the project.

We are on the internet on the TV actually getting things done when I get a Skype request from a user name I don't recognize. I tilt my head a bit and press accept. It takes about ten seconds to connect and Audrey and Niall's faces pop up on the screen.

"Hey!!!!!" Audrey says through the screen. I smile.

"Woah woah woah." Niall begins. "Is that Liam with you?" I nod. "Where are you?"

"My house." I tell him.

"Well what the fuck is he doing the- oh." Niall begins and then smiles mischievously at the end. He wiggles his eyebrows a bit making Audrey giggle before I realize what he's saying.

"WOAH WHAT! NO. N-O." I say to them.

"Mmhmm." They both say at the same time.

"We're doing the Literature project damn!" I say.

"Well we will leave you guys to your 'project'" Niall says using air quotes when he says project.

"Whatever. Later." I say ending the call. "Sorry."

"It's alright." Liam says. I see emotion behind his eyes that I can't decipher. I swipe back to the internet but Liam speaks again. "Are you really that disgusted of me?" He asks.

"What?" I say.

"When you were talking to Audrey and Niall you said no like you were disgusted."

"Oh. Well no. I just didn't want them getting the wrong idea."

"So you wouldn't mind if I did this?" He says starting to lean in. My eyes flicker to his lips and into his eyes once again. He starts to tilt his head and shut his eyes when I press my palms to his chest.

"Liam." I say looking into his eyes. He sighs dragging his hand though his hair frustrated before standing.

"I have to go." He says sliding his boots back on.

"Liam wait." I say but he's already at the door.

"I'll see you tomorrow Rain." He says opening the door and slamming it on his way out. I sigh and toss my binder on the coffee table before running my hands through my hair and tugging like he did moments ago. I gather all of my things and stick them back into my book bag so I don't forget them in the morning and head up to my room on the third floor.

I walk into my bathroom and wash my face and brush my teeth before sliding into bed. I set my alarm for the next morning before trying to sleep. It takes longer than usual because my thoughts are occupied. Why did Liam get so upset when he thought I was disgusted with him? And when he tried to kiss me, why did he storm out afterwards? I mean I knew he was attracted to me but I thought it was just a sexual attraction that wouldn't go anywhere. However now, after that moment, I'm beginning to question my judgment a little.

I finally drift off to sleep and my dreams are occupied by the brown eyed boy I am becoming infatuated with.
