My breath hitched, and my eyes widened. This guy was Lucas, but he wasn’t. His hair wasn’t curly, it was straight. His eyes weren’t the electric blue before, but the color of the ocean on a cloudy day. His body was that of a runner, not a footballer.
“Huh?” I was totally confused. This guy wasn’t Lucas, but he was.
“Yeah, um,” his hand was rubbing the back of his neck, “I’m not sure how to explain this to you.”
“He walked over to me and took my hand and lead me out onto the balcony outside this room. He brought me over to the wicker loveseat swing. He sat down and motioned for me to sit beside him.
I hadn’t realized how long I was standing until he said, I don’t bite. So I sat down.
“My name is Liam. Lucas is my older brother. Most people don’t notice me, the real me. They think I’m going to be exactly like Lucas. But I agree with everyone that Lucas is a total douchebag.
This was a lot to process.
“So, he’s your older brother?” I said it more to myself than to him.
“Yep”
“We’re in the same grade?”
“Haven’t you noticed me?”
“No, I’m not really the type of person who socializes. I’m just a shadow.”
“Katherine-“
“Kate, call me Kate.”
“Kate, you’re in the top ten of our class.” He was counting on his fingers, “One of the most beautiful girls in the whole school. You don’t care what others think. And…your one of the nicest people I’ve ever known.”
“ME? Katherine Stewart? No one ever notices me. Ever.” Okay, maybe I was exaggerating a bit, but he got the point.
“Kate, people do notice you, whether you notice them or not.” Liam was trying to convince me of this. He then pulled me closer than him, and started to twiddle his fingers with my shirttail. It was a sign that he was feeling something deep. It was so cute and such a turn on. “You know what? I know how to prove to your that people do notice you.”
“How?” I was very curious.
“I’m going to get some of my friends together and we’re going to see what they think of you.”
“Whoa, are your friends part of the ‘It Crowd’?”
“Some of them are, but I’m a floater. I don’t have a specific clique.”
“Oh well, I guess it couldn’t hurt to meet some people.”
“How does going on a yacht sound?”
My eyes popped out. Not literally. “You have a yacht?”
“Not only a yacht, but I’ve decided that its time that I throw another par-tay.” The way he said party was so funny I couldn’t help but giggle at him. Then I started to bite my lip. “What is it?” He sounded so concerned.
“I need to go home and get prepped out for this yacht party.”
“You don’t need to go home just to put on more make up,” Lucas protested to my protest. As he was saying this, he placed one hand on my chin and the other was holding my hand. “You look great, but you were beautiful and breathtaking without make up and new clothes.”
I could feel my cheeks turn crimson as I blushed. I could tell now that I was really starting to like Liam. Like really like him. Like..I like like him. The way that Liam called me beautiful and breathtaking gave me butterflies and that warm feeling in my chest. “You really think so?” I asked, trying to hide my blush.
“I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true.” As he was saying this, he placed his hand on my chin again sending chills down my spine. For some reason I got the urge to close the gap between us and kiss him.
Whoa. Put the truck in reverse. Was I falling for someone I just met. If so, I hoped he liked me back.
We spent some time standing like the way we were. Liam looking at me like I was everything he ever wanted in life. Me ever so slightly leaning closer to him every odd second. And I had a feeling he was leaning in too.
We were so close now, our noses were only millimeters apart. I could tell he wanted to kiss me as much as I wanted to kiss him. But just my luck Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepson started blasting from my phone.
“You better get that.” Liam was rubbing the back of his neck. I thought that was so cute. Suddenly I realized how lonesome I felt. How much I wanted him to hold me. Yep, it was official. I was falling for Liam Williams.
I answered my phone. “Yolo”
"Katie Cat, its Kane, Please don’t hang up.”
