Lonely life

May 1st

I was walking down the street to the store. My aunt was making cookies because some guests were coming over and she asked me to buy some ingredients.

After that I was on my way home and suddenly rain was pouring all over me. I had brought an umbrella earlier but it was useless. The wind was too strong.
My clothes and shoes were soaking wet so I had to run and find a shelter. But everything else was closed because of the strong rain.

After some time I found a café that was opened and it had just a few customers. I immediately ran inside and sat by a nearby table. I ordered (favorite hot drink) and looked through the window.

I was so focused on the rain and wasn't paying attention when I hear someone sitting across from me. It was my dear friend Antony. We were kids since kindergarten.

,,(Y/N)! Long time no see!", he sounded very cheerful and happy when he saw me. I smiled at him.
,,How have you been? I haven't heard from you for 9 months!", he said.
,,Yeah I'm sorry about that but I was very busy finding a job", I said, ,, but not much has happened."
I didn't want to tell him about Liam just yet...
He doesn't like the idea of living with strangers and he can be very protective.
,,I heard that a new bar will open just a few blocks away from your house. Maybe get a job there?", he said.
,,Yeah I'll think about it", I said with a smile.
I looked at my watch and I was already late home so I said Goodbye to Antony and called an uber to drive me home because of the rain.

I got home and immediately changed my wet outfit before the guests came. There will be my aunt and her friends. After I changed into some comfortable clothes I went to the bathroom and bumped into somebody on my way there.....Liam.
,,Oh my God! I'm so sorry!", he started apologizing.
,,....It's ok......", I said and went on my way.
He stayes there silent while I walked past him.

~Time Skip~

The guests came and for some reason my aunt wanted me and Liam to stay with them the whole time. I was sitting on a chair and he was sitting across from me on the couch.
My aunt wouldn't shut up about how happy she was to sell half of the house because she needed money and I felt really uncomfortable. I can tell Liam did too just by looking at him. He chatted with the guest a lot and always had a smile on his face that amyone could believe. But not me. I can clearly see he's not enjoying it. Must be very tough when you want to say what you think and not do what everyone else wants you too.
He was a grown man. Why would he have to listen to my aunt? He could just leave at any moment. But he didn't. He's trying too hard to make everyone happy.
I didn't realize I zoned out while thinking and stared at him. He caught my gaze and I quickly looked away. He smiled lightly.
,,Excuse me (Aunt's name), but I will be going with (Y/N) on a walk.", he said while getting up.
,,Oh sure but get back before it gets dark", she said and went on with talking with her friends.
I just followed Liam outside. It wasn't very cold but it was wet.
,,Why didn't you say anything?" His voice caught me off guard.
,,Hm?", I turned my head to look at him.
,,When we were in the house. I thought you would insist on staying inside", he said.
,,I don't know. I just didn't know how to react. And I also didn't want to listen to old ladies talking all the time." I said and he chuckled.
,,It was cute you know, you just sat there awkwardly like a lost puppy.", he said smiling.
,,Where did that come from?", I asked lowly while turning my head away from his dark brown eyes.
We walked for quite some time and talked about random things. Turns out he's very interesting when you get to know him.
He's not a drinker, loves photography, kids and animals. Also, every time I try to ask him about his past he changes the subject. I understand him. Some questions bring up old memories and I don't want to pressure him because of that.

We arrived home at 9:05PM (21:05), the guests were gone and my aunt was asleep. She has a habit of going to bed early and waking up early. Idk how some people do it but ok. I said goodbye to Liam and we both went separate ways.
I took a warm shower, brushed my teeth and went to bed. I was sleepy but I was still thinking about my walk with Liam. He's mysterious and lonely inside but on the outside he's like a totally different person!He's also very handsome. His dark brown hair that matches his eyes of the same color and his long black coat makes me think of autumn.
I'm happy that I got to know him better.

(Holy shit I haven't updated in so long! I apologize for that but I had lack of inspiration and I was busy but I hope I can start updating more often now.)
