Dusk Till Dawn (A Liam and Ally Story)

Chapter 36

I looked around me. Gloria and them were cleaning up the stage as Camila and the rest decided to shower. The only person left beside me was Liam. He was sitting on the other side of the stage, talking to Andy and Lucas, another one of his servants.

It was only an hour that passed since I sang on stage with Liam. Our performance opened my eyes and heart to something. I feel like I could fly. It was electrifying just like when I touch him.

No, it couldn't possibly be. Could it? I like Liam...? I shook my head as I smile. I don't know why I'm smiling. Just the thought of him gave me chills.

"Great performance, Ally," Gloria complimented as she came and sat down by me on the stage. "You and Boss have amazing chemistry."

"What?" I questioned. Chemistry?

"It's true," Gloria replied. "And you know, you're the first girl that I've seen that made him crazy. He worries about you. He protects you even if it costs his life. It's like he's in love with you."

In love? I don't think he's into me like that. "I think you're exaggerating a bit," I told her.

She nodded and replied, "Okay, fine. I might be, but it's still true."

This kind of led me to a question that I shouldn't probably be asking her, but I was curious. "Do you, um, do you know if your boss ever dated?" I asked. She looked confused by the way she tilted her head. "Like, has he ever been with a woman?"

She nodded her head and replied, "Well, I'm not sure if this is accurate, but I've heard rumors from some people. I've heard that Boss was or is still engage to this woman from his current home." I felt my heart sadden from the news. But it doesn't make sense since when I asked Liam, he told me that he hasn't found the perfect person yet. Unless...no, he wouldn't. He wouldn't lie to me.

I felt Gloria's hand on my shoulder. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm rooting for you and Boss to be together."

I nervously smile. "What do you mean? I don't-I don't like your boss that way," I said, but my heart knew that I was lying.

"Are you sure? Are you just saying that?" Gloria questioned.

I tried to remain calm. It's not that I don't trust Gloria. It's just a lot for me to handle right now. I mean, I am not exactly sure if I like Liam or not. It could be because of our fight or me being overwhelmed on stage.

"I think I need some time to think about it," I kind of confessed.

"Well, tell me when you had it all figured out," she told me. "I'm always in the kitchen. If not, my room." I nodded as she stood up and left.

I think it's time for me to get ready for bed too. I walked into the house and up the stairs. I saw Camila standing in front of my door. She looked depress, and I could tell she needed a talk. I nodded at her, and we both entered the room. Once I checked the hallway clear, I locked the door. I turned around and saw her sitting on my bed.

I crossed my arms and asked, "What's wrong, Mila?"

She kind of shook her head and shrugged. "I have this problem, and I cannot get rid of it."

I sat down on the empty space next her and rubbed her back. "What is it?"

Her head was down, and she played with her hands. "Um..." I hear her speak. "It's about Zayn." I stopped rubbing her back as we made eye contact. "It began after you left. I don't know who to talk to because Normani didn't know the situation, Dinah wasn't familiar with Zayn, and this involved Lauren."

"Do you like..." I began to say but she looked at me with confirmation. "Then what's the problem?"

"Lauren likes him too," she answered and I frozen in thought.
