The Guilt Consumes

Chapter 27

"What are we doing back at your place?" I ask Liam as he parks outside of his house.

"Well, the twins are at a friends house staying over and I have another surprise for you"

"At your house? That's empty? Hmmm" I eye him suspiciously. He nervously laughs and shakes his head.

"I'm not planning to sleep with you don't worry. Like I said, I'll wait when you're ready" I smile at him. How can someone be so considerate that much?

"Thanks" he nods his head and gets out of the car. I get out too just as he reaches my side. "Beat you to it" I smirk and flick my hair and walk ahead as I strut, swaying my hips. I hear him chuckle and then following after me. He unlocks the door and we enter. I stand there, not knowing what to do or where to go.

"This way" he takes me out back and I gasp. I walk further out and see the fairy lights hung up on the tree. A huge material pinned up, creating a materialised roof. Pillows and blankets are set up on the ground and a white sheet with a projector. Roses and shinny pebbles surround us and a full plate of chocolate covered strawberries with wine glasses and a bottle of red wine in ice.

"Wow" I breath out as I inspect every intricate detail. "It's amazing" I say and turn around. "I can't believe this. Thank you Liam" I walk towards him and hug him. I clutch on to him so tight I never want to let go. I feel tears fall down my cheek and I wipe them away. Liam pulls away and holds me at arms length.

"Why are you crying?" I sniff and look down.

"I-i Don't know" I laugh and look back up to his eyes. "It's just... I've missed all the romantic gestures. And, truthfully I've never had this done for me. Jackson was romantic, but not to this level. You're really special Liam" I tell him from my heart. He tightly smiles at me and I sense a shift in his mood. "Are you okay?" He clears his throat and nods his head but however, I see through his facade. I decide to not question it further and just let the night end on a good note. He takes my hand and silently leads us to the mat. I sit down and he pours us a glass of wine. We clink the glasses and take a sip. The liquid mixes in my mouth and it tastes so good. I pick up a strawberry and feed it to him.

"Really?" I nod my head and he takes it. "Okay, let's start the movie"

"What are we watching?" I ask him and he smirks.

"The notebook" he says and my eyes go wide.

"Really, you're going to watch a girlie film like that?" He laughs and pulls me closer to him and nods.

"Only for you" I smile and kiss his lips. He starts the movie and we snuggle into each other.

"I can't believe it. I've never cried this bad over a movie."

"I know, you didn't cry this much when we were watching how to train your dragon remember?" He smirks and I laugh as I wipe my nose.

"Yeah, I remember. This movie... gosh. It's something else"

"I mean, I wouldn't go that far. Isn't it being a little dramatic?" I slap his chest and he feigns hurt. "Okay, ow"

"Shush, it didn't hurt"

"How would you know, are you my chest?" He raises his browns and I crease them down. My fingers linger on his brows as we're a breath apart. I shuffle closer till I'm practically on his lap. I feel something hard poking me in my inner thigh and I lightly gasp. "That's what you do to me" he whispers as his breath fans my lips. He leans down and kisses my neck. I tilt my head back at let him drink me all in. My eyes go wide and so does my mouth when he reaches my soft spot. I release a breathy moan and close my eyes. He grips my hips and moves me back and forth on his lap. The pleasure building in my stomach as my heart and mind go haywire. I clutch his shirt and suppress a moan. He fastens the pace until out chests collide. I stop and lean into his ear.
