Boundaries..... It's not just a word

Chapter - 19

Liam looked at Misty and his heart felt like it was breaking for her. She was such a wonderful, intelligent, beautiful woman. He asked himself "How could anyone treat her like this, she's so rare and special. I've got to make her see what I see in her everyday when she doesn't think anyone is watching." Then Liam spoke "oh wow, that is completely atrocious and I wish that you didn't have to grow up that way. However, it does explain a few things." Misty's right eyebrow perks up and she says "What the hell do you mean it explains a few things?" Misty was getting really enraged and wanted to tell Liam a thing or two about who she was. Misty was all set to go off on Liam but she thought twice about it and decided that she was going to let him speak first and then tell him what she thought about it. "Misty, the bar isn't the first place I've seen you. I see you at work all the time. You always dress immaculately and there is never a time that you aren't working. You don't gossip like the others that work in your area. You're absolutely gorgeous but you walk with your head down when you think no one can see you and then straighten right up when you hear someone coming. It amazes me that you do what you do, coming from where you began." Misty was at a loss of words, she started to tear up and she couldn't help it and a few tears streaked down her cheeks, "No one has ever said anything like that to me, ever. Thank you." A few more tears fall and Liam wipes them away with his thumb and holds her chin in his hand so he can look her right in the eyes. When their eyes meet, something happened that had never happened to Misty before, she felt something, a growing desire, there was a warmth that began to extend from her lady parts, regions unfamiliar. 

This was something completely different for her, absolutely alien to her in nature. Never had she got physically turned on before, especially with just a simple touch but it's not like she's really had that much experience anyways. It finally gave her the self-esteem boost that she needed, she finally had that one rare moment, the ability to see that she had grown into a stunning, extremely intelligent, desired and sexy woman. Then Liam looked at her lips and then slowly brushed his lips over hers. There it was again, that feeling, they both felt it, they pulled away from each other and looked into each other's eyes and then kissed again only this time the sensation, it only encouraged them to kiss more passionately than before. Finally, when the kiss ended and they both needed air, they realized that they had been kissing for a lot longer than they thought as both of them had swollen lips and her panties were completely soaked and sticking to her. Misty said "Liam, I have enjoyed spending time with you and would love to keep seeing you but if you are just looking for sex, well that's just not going to happen, not with me anyways." Liam looked at her with a questioning look and said "why would you think that was all I was after?" She responded "Well honestly, you're you and I'm me, I am nothing special, what is in it for you to spend your time on me?" Liam shook his head, sadness clouded his face and he said "You have no idea of your worth, do you? Not the money, cause honestly, I've got a shit ton of that and it doesn't mean a thing. You don't know what you're worth as a person, a woman, as you?" She smiled and said "I know how much I'm worth financially and to be completely honest, I don't need a job but I love doing the job and that's why I come to work every day. As for my worth as a person, that was destroyed long ago and it has been near impossible for me to build that up again. I'm broken I guess you could say." Liam looked at her and brushed a bit of hair that had gotten loose back behind her ear. "Let me help you rebuild yourself then, please? You're so amazing and it's unbelievable that you don't or can't see and realize that. Let me show you what you are worth as a person, a woman, as you?"

Misty shook her head and whispered, "Okay, you think that you can try to fix me? You go right ahead and try! It's not going to be so easy, I'm stubborn as an ox. This should be interesting to see what you think will fix me, what you decide that needs to be done." She laughed sarcastically and just coyly smiled. Liam was thrilled and grabbed her into a hug. She was leery of the physical affection he was giving her but she thought to herself, "Why don't I deserve a hug? I like the way it feels." Liam let go and smiled at her. "First thing tomorrow morning you and I are going to have breakfast and then go to the spa, the hair salon and then shopping" he said with so much enthusiasm that she was kind of shocked. She nodded her head in agreement but felt like she still needed to restrain herself from getting too excited. Liam said "So here's what you need to do, go home, go to bed and meet me at that new place "Eggs Over Easy" at 10 am, we'll have breakfast and then start your day of pampering, prepping and shopping." Misty smiled "Eggs Over Easy" that is her favorite breakfast places when she was in college and they had finally opened a restaurant here locally, they were like magicians, everything that came out of the kitchen there was perfect and always tasted one hundred percent better than anything she could make at home. She smiled and said "okay, I'll see ya then." She really didn't like the fact that he was telling her what to do, like she had to listen and couldn't possibly do anything on her own. It reminded her of her past and that was something she was desperately trying to stay as far away from as possible, it was just a boundary that she just never wanted to have to deal with again in her life.
