Chapter 7: That girl does not look like Anna

The last time we left Julie and Anna at the ladies, Anna confessed to Julie, not knowing the person she was talking about is right behind her. How is she going to handle this? Let's continue..

"What's wrong with you?" Alex saw Julie laughing hysterically as she stumbled towards the group. Anna trailed behind her as they gathered back with the group, feeling so embarrassed right now. She just felt like taking her purse and walk right out of the cafe. What is she going to do next ? No. What can she do next?

Liam made it worst when he came back and gave her a playful smile, it only take as much as one glance at him to make her heart race and her cheeks flushed to a lighter shade of pink. Why was he smiling that like? She waited for a few minutes before she couldn't take it anymore. The awkwardness, the embarrassment. That was it! She stood up, took her purse and announced to the whole group that she is leaving.

"What is wrong with her?" Alex asked Julie, but she just shrugged and continue to hide her laughter in her cup of coffee. Get out.. Get out now.. That was all Anna could think of.. The moment she walked out of the door, she felt someone grabbed on to her wrist.

" Where are you going?" he asked with his gentle voice. That familiar charismatic voice of his.. Damn.. She knew she had to think fast, she can no longer lie. He had heard everything she said to Julie. There is no way she could lie or get herself out of this. She has to face it. She took a deep breath and turned to face him.

" I'm sorry .. I didn't mean to .. I know you are having a rough time and I shouldn't ..." She blurted out,  it was as if that she felt guilty of her own feelings towards Liam. What was this feeling that she felt? Relieved that she had somehow confessed her feelings for him after all these years? Afraid and scared that their relationship would went downhill after the confession? She wasn't really sure.

" you shouldn't even hear that.. " she continued.. Not looking at him..

Oh, poor Anna. Are you about to run now?

Liam didn't say much, he just pulled her in for a hug, the side of her face leaning against his chest.. Because of their height difference, she could only be at his chest level, an advantage for both of them actually. Not to mention, there were people that were walking past and looking at them weirdly, but she didn't care and she didn't bother, what happened outside the bathroom is the top level of embarrassment. What is a few people pointing and staring? Well, and looks like he didn't mind either ..

"How long ? " were the only two words that came out from him which broke the silence between them.. His soft charismatic voice was clear enough just for her to hear. She bit her lips when she thought of her answer.

" Two years.." she replied back honestly,  her head still to his chest not moving. She didn't want to move either. She felt so secured in his arms, as if his arms was made to fit her built.

" Silly girl .. " he stroke her hair gently, making her melt .. it was louder chatters from the public that made her realise she was in public ..

Anna! He is an idol. Do you want a tabloid?

" We are in public ... " she jerked out from the hug and took a step backwards but now she can look in his eyes. His gorgeous dark brown eyes.

" Doesn't matter .. " he gently push loose strands of hair away from her face. Oh dear, can she just melt?! Please?

" Please keep it as a secret .. " she requested earning a small frown from him..

" Why should I ? " he asked ..

" Then forget what I said outside the ladies.. " she requested again..

" I won't ever forget that .. " he answered with a smile ..
