STAY

EXPECTATIONS

I think dad would really appreciate it if I were fed. I say walking towards both the brothers who are busy playing a videogame. After our little pool party, I took a shower and am now starving. Laslo is wearing grey sweatpants with a black V-neck t-shirt whereas Liam is only wearing black sweatpants. Off course he would plan on roaming around the house without a shirt, torturing me has been his plan since the beginning. After our scene on the pool side, all I can imagine is what it could have led to or how great it would have felt. I can still feel the kisses he left on my collarbone and neck..

Ill make you something to eat. Laslo says breaking me out of my thoughts.

No, I will do it. Liam heads towards the kitchen.

Laslos eyebrow raises questioningly. I try to avoid it and sit down next to him.

 Whats going between you and my brother? he asks me.

My eyes snap up to his. What? Nothing is going on between us.

I am not blind Chlo, I see the way he looks at you.

No Las, all you see is lust, your brother just wants sex. He has told me repeatedly. I look at my hands on my lap.

Chlo, he is a jerk who doesnt know what he wants, just give him time to figure it all out. Las gives me half a smile.

I definitely agree with the jerk bit. I say laughing.

So what does Ms Vale want to do today? Las turns towards me.

  Anything that includes me staying in this beautiful house of yours for the rest of the day. I say placing my legs on the table in front of me and flexing my toes.

How about a movie tonight?

Only if I get to select one.

Lets just junk this idea he laughs. I take a pillow and hit him on the head.

I have an amazing choice. I take another pillow and just as Im about to throw it, he starts running around the living room collecting all the cushions on the couch. Cushions come flying at me, one after another. I pick them up and start throwing them without looking. By the time Im done, Im breathing heavily and struggling to move my long hair from my face. When I finally manage to look at Las, I see him on the floor laughing and Liam with a pillow in his hand. Did I just throw it at him instead?

Liam starts moving towards me with an unreadable expression on his face.

I meant to hit your brother I say quietly.

You did? he whispers which makes the hair on my arm to rise.

Ya

He stands in front of me and leans in, I close my eyes and wait for him. What I get next is a blow from a pillow instead of a much awaited kiss. My eyes open to see both the brothers laughing so hard that they have to hold their stomachs. I feel the blush creep up my cheeks out of embarrassment.

Oh baby you dont need to be embarrassed. Liam steps forward and gives me a kiss on the cheek. Did I just hear Liam Warden use an endearment? I must really be dreaming.

Come on lunch is served. Liam pulls my arm and takes me to the kitchen.

I wish you lived with us Chlo. Las says looking at the dishes Liam has made for us.

Why?

I dont remember the last time Liam cooked for me. Soraya our housekeeper will be thrilled to see him doing something for someone other than himself. Las laughs as he seats himself. I cant help but smile at that.

I take a bite of the lamb pasta which is really good I must say.

Whoa bro, you let me eat crap all this time. I promise I will do all your work from now if you put two meals a day on the table for me. I expect my dinner to be laid before I come home from work. Las says lost in his pasta.
