She's A Mystery

Chapter 5

I ran back to my doorm room slamming the door shut. My mind racing and anger raising.

Why did I have to get mad? Why couldn't I just ignore her? Now everyone's going to think I'm Ally Summer the physco new kid. I've probably scared off my new friends by my outburst, Why couldn't I have a normal life?

"Why couldn't I just be normal!"
I scolded myself as my fist connected with the concrete wall. The pain shot up immediately and although my knuckles were bruised my anger began to subside.

Suddenly the door lurched open and I saw Liam holding his tray in his hand and mine in his other. A small smile tugged on my lips at the gesture.

"You didn't uh finish eating so I thought you would still be hu---." He stopped, glancing at my knuckles. "Woah are you okay?" He said worryingly, setting our trays on his bed and walking towards me.

He gently took my hand in his as he inspected the bruise.
His eyes were filled with panic as he looked for any signs of pain.

But I was more focused on how close he was to me as his scent engulfed me, how gently he held my hand in his as if I was the most valuable thing in the world, how his soft smoothe skin felt on my own, increasing my heart rate.

I snapped back into reality and retracted my hand from his grip, "It's n-nothing really, I'm fine." Great now I'm stuttering.

"Princess, you're not fine c'mon." He said leading me to my bed, as he went to the bathroom and got a first aid kit and sat next to me.

"Really Liam it's not a b-big deal." He ignored me and took my hand back in his the warmth returning instantly. He began cleaning up my bruised knuckles and bandaged them for me. I mean I could perfectly do it by myself, but I'm not complaining.

"Thanks." I said with a small smile.

"Don't mention it." He smiled back, a genuine smile, not that stupid smirk of his. It was beautiful, the way his pink lips curved upwards, complimenting his straight teeth, managing to melt my walls for a split second. It was just so captivating.

"You should do that more often." I said.

"Do what?" He said looking like a lost puppy.

I laughed lightly at the thought, "Smile, you should smile more often." I said averting my gaze from his.

"Well, I guess now I have a reason to princess." He smirked at me and I felt the heat rising to my cheeks.

"I told you not to call me that." I replied playfully.

"What would you rather babygirl?" He smirked.

"God, no anything but that." I cringed.

"Princess it is then." Liam said victoriously.

He then got up and got the trays on his bed an returned in his original position.

"I believe someone didn't get to finish their chicken nuggets?" He said handing me the tray.

"Thank you, but you really didn't ha--." He cut me off

"I wanted to." He said his eyes boring into my own like he could see right through me.

I blushed and tore my eyes away from his own. I didn't reply because I knew I would stutter, so I simply nodded in response. We finished our dinner asking each other questions about ourselves. So far I found out, Liam likes to read, he's 17 years old but will be turning 18 in a couple months. His favourite color was red, he mentioned an older brother named Alec but that was basically all he said about him. But I didn't pressure him into any details. Then he unexpectedly said,

"My favourite snack in the entire world is, gummy bears, somtimes I pretend they're alive as I bite their heads off as they scream in fear." He muttered the last part but I still heard it.

I instantly burst out laughing at his comment mostly because I found it adorable, and the slight reddening of his ears made me laugh more.

"Alright alright, that's enough." He said still embarrassed and I calmed down my laughter.

Liam looked unsure of something before he then asked the question I've been dreading.

"So if you don't mind me asking, what happened back there." He asked lightly, probably not wanting to upset me.

I sighed knowing I would have to explain eventually, "I have anger issues, sometimes I just can't control it and I lose my shit. It's like I know what I'm doing and I'm aware of it but I just can't stop. I'm just clouded with rage and I can't think straight." I felt the tears well up in my eyes but I never let them fall. I let out a humorless laugh, "You probably think I'm crazy." I said as I held my head down and looked away from him.

I then felt his soft gentle touch on my chin as he lifted my head up and my eyes met his beautiful green iris' they held so much emotions that I couldn't read.

"Hey, I don't think you're crazy, or a psychopath cause you're not. It's not your fault, you didn't ask to be this way, and you shouldn't be ashamed of it. We all have our problems and we all have to deal with them, even if it's hard. But we get through it, and so will you. In fact from what I think, to me you're pretty extraordinary Ally."

The way my name rolled of his tongue sent shivers down my spine making me flustered. I think it's the first time he's said my name.

He leaned closer so that his lips were near my ear for the second time today. My breathe hitched in my throat as he whispered.

"Actually, I think your outburst was pretty hot princess, and I'm sure as hell I wasn't the only one thinking it." He said.

I probably looked like a tomato by now. I shoved his shoulder as the blush on my cheeks were evident.

"Shut up Walker." I muttered, but I couldn't help the smile on my lips.

He raised his hands up in defence, "Just stating the facts Summers."

I laughed and whacked him with my pillow, "Alright lover boy it's getting pretty late." I said as he stood up and walked to the middle of the room.

"You're right we should probably get to bed." Liam replied. Then he did something I didn't expect at all. He took his shirt off. My eyes immediately traveled to his tattoos on his left arm starting from his wrist to his shoulder. I think he just got hotter in a mattete of seconds. I relocated my gaze on his muscles and how they flexed by his movement as my eyes travelled down to his six pack, admiring every detail. Of course he had a six pack, but what really got me was his v line. Is it just me or is it not the hottest thing ever? Without even thinking I caught my bottom lip between my teeth as I shamelessly checked him out. Hey, could you really blame me?

His voice snapped me out of my dazed state, "See something you like princess?" He asked smirking.

I have no idea where the boost of confidence came as I got up and walked over in his direction, his eyes flooded with curiosity as he watched me intently. When I was only inches away from him, I let my fingers trace over his toned stomach outlining his abs, even brushing along his v line as I felt his muscles tense under my touch, making eye contact I replied.

"Yes actually, quite alot." It was now my turn to smirk as I saw the dumbfounded look on his face. I quickly turned around and returned to my bed climbing in acting as if our little exchange hadn't just happened. He was still standing there as I said, "Goodnight Walker."

I heard a low laugh escape his lips as he shook his head in amusement, entering the bathroom to get ready for bed, not before he replied, "Goodnight Ally."
