FALLING

CHAPTER-TWENTY TWO

Walking offset for the last time, the cool breeze hits my face and I'm thankful to finally be done with filming. As much as I love acting the long hours can really get to you after a while, and I'm about ready to go back to normal. That being said I do feel a little disappointed I won't be able to see Liam strut in every morning wearing that leather jacket.

For the last three days, Liam has religiously greeted me each morning with my favorite coffee and beignets just as he did the morning after he took care of my drunk ass. Then we would spend the few hours we had after filming together, mostly trying out new ethnic restaurants and seeing which one of us would be brave enough to try the most adventurous dish.

"Hey there gorgeous," I hear Liam say as he walks up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist and burying his head in the crook of my neck while he peppers me with kisses.

I turn around in his arms as I look up into his blazing green eyes, trying to remember every little detail of his face, the way he scrunches up his nose as he smiles down at me with his boyish grin, the dimples in his cheeks and the sexy way he bites down on his bottom lip when he tries to read my mind. I know I only have a few more days with him before we both go back home, countries apart from each other.

"Hey," I say smiling up at him.

"So, I was thinking since we finished early today I want to take you out on a proper date," he says with a grin.

"We have been going out the last two nights, you don't think those were worthy enough to be called dates?"

"No, I mean a real date, where we dress up and I pick you up at your door. I mean don't get me wrong the last couple of nights have been great, but I want to do this right you know?" He looks at me with all seriousness now.

"Okay, what time should I expect you, and how fancy are we talking about?" I ask hoping it's not too fancy otherwise I will have to go buy something to wear.

"Let's say seven, and not over the top fancy just wear what you would normally wear, besides you look great in anything."

"Where are we going?" I ask grinning up at him.

"I'm not telling, it's a surprise just be ready by seven." He says as he kisses my cheek and pulls away, "You better not stand me up Montgomery," he winks back at me as he heads for his trailer.

"Never!" I yell back at him grinning from ear to ear, already missing the feel of his arms wrapped around me.

"London! stop lecturing me and just help a girl out will ya?"  I say through the phone. I'm beyond exasperated, I've been listening to her go on and on for the past twenty minutes about how she thinks the idea of Liam and I going out on an actual date will turn into a disaster, and to think I just called her for wardrobe advice.

I fall back on my bed letting out a puff of air I've been holding, waiting for the rambling on the other end to stop.

"Listen I know you hate listening to me bitch and most likely you have tuned me out by now, but come on Sam, you heard the guy he said it himself he doesn't do relationships," London says with a sigh.

"Then why would he ask me out on a date, huh, maybe he is changing, maybe this is more to him than just a meaningless fling." Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm trying to prove a point to London or myself.

"Or maybe it is what it is, a convenient fuck for the time being," London says sarcastically.

"We haven't even had sex since we've been back so now what?"I say and it's the truth, we haven't been intimate since the night at the club. We've spent most of our alone time together really getting to know each other, but don't get me wrong I've definitely had moments where I have wanted to, it's just that he hasn't made any advances, like none at all.
