broken rules | g. dolan

chapter four

i was actually starting to like liam. he was really sweet, and had a great way of making me laugh. oh, and he's cute.

the fact that grayson told me that liam was off limits, made me furious. who does he think he is?

well, i can see where grayson is coming from. he's hot, has a great body, and owns a company.

it still frustrated me. liam was so sweet and flattering, and grayson is the complete opposite.

grayson's harsh and quite rude, demanding and has a big temper.

the fact that he also had mariah "hurt" him also frustrated me. just thinking about it made me have mixed feelings.

guess i'll have to ignore grayson and just focus on liam. liam's good for me. grayson isn't.

"good morning miss adkins," grayson's deep toned voice spoke into my ear, and when i faced him, he smirked, and his footsteps grew large as he walked to his office.

i tried so hard to not seem affected by him, but i, expectedly, failed. i tucked a strained of hair behind my ear, starting to walk back to my office.

a voice caught me off guard, it had the bitchy remark, "i'd back off of grayson if i were you. he's mine."

i looked to where i thought the voice came from, and i saw mariah leaning on her desk, chewing on a toothpick. this bitch thinks she's the shit.

"mhm, you say he's yours when clearly, you're the one who hurt him and made him the person he is now. sorry honey, but he doesn't like all you bitches." i started walking back to my office, obviously anxious while biting my lip and i was relieved when i made it to my office safe.

i sighed while smiling to myself as i set my stuff on my desk. i started opening my emails when i saw one from an email address i've never seen before.

a knock on my door startled me once i pressed the 'send' button. i took in a sharp inhale as i stood up and opened the door.

"hey liam." i smiled, seeing his presence in front of me was comforting.

"hey brooke. what happened the other night?" guilt flushed throughout my whole body as he asked me that question.

"look, you're a great guy. i really enjoy being around you. but as i was leaving my office my boss basically said that you were off limits. i can't see you, liam. i'm sorry, it's not my fault." i admitted, and liam grinned.

"mr. dolan doesn't have to know we are seeing each other," liam smirked, making me smile at his comment.

"what are you talking about? he knows everything, liam." i chuckled.

"miss adkins, would you make me extremely happy probably for the rest of my life and go on a date with me, friday night? i'll pick you up and we can go to dinner." liam smiled. what a cutie.

my head peeped out of my office, looking down the hallway, first left, then right. i grinned widely as i looked back at liam, "you know what? i'd love to go on a date with you."

"r-really? y-you will?" his dimples deepened into his cheeks which made my cheeks blush a deep red.

"of course." i licked my lips, happy that i was going on a date with liam but also somewhat nervous. if grayson finds out, i'd probably lose my job and liam would most likely get his ass kicked.

liam told me he would pick me up at eight on friday, then kissed my cheek and walked back to his office.

liam's amazing , he really is. but, grayson.. he's something. and i can't quite figure that out.
