Finding love

The gala

I deserve the truth but you lie
I don't know why I'm so surprised
Coz I'm just a joke waiting for a punchline

I woke up with a huge headache I'm sure it's from all the crying last night. Atleast that's out of my way well, for now.

I glance at my wall clock and it's 5 in the morning guess I woke up too early. I get in the shower but look at the mirror before I hit the bath and my eyes are red and puffy I look terrible with all the mascara down my face.

After my shower I head down stairs and I'm beyond shocked by what I see. Liam uncomfortable on the couch. Did he sleep here? Ok that's a stupid question. I quickly run back to my room and grab a blanket and pillow and cover his massive body and support his head.

I look at his face and it's even more beautiful when he's sleeping. His features look less deadly when he's this peaceful. Before I stop my hand I run my fingers through his hair and touch his stubble. All thoughts rush back to the other day at office when touched my cheek and I closed my eyes because of the feeling.

Flashback

Araa you done here? Cause I was thinking maybe today we'd have lunch across the street instead of the office" He seemed calm as he asked me but then I got nervous. It's soo not me but of course he can't know.

"Uhh sure can Adera and Jaden come with us I'm sure it would be great for them too?" I question more than state .
He just nods his head yes and I'm sure Adera is going to freak when she finds out that I asked for Jaden to come with us. And all because she likes him.

After I survived the attack from Adera we had lunch but Adera and jaden left before us.

"Callie are you done we have to get back to work?" Liam asked me while looking at his phone. But when he looked at me he just put his hand on my cheek and I swear I shivered at that and ended up closing my eyes. It felt good having his hand on my cheek but before I reacted more he pulled his hand away and walked out.

After that we didn't talk much and just stared at each other most of the time.

Present

I guess the roles are reversed now cause it's me touching him now.
I prepare myself to get up and I'm startled when he mumbled something along the lines " he's gone now Callie but I'm here and always will be" I was speechless. So that means he knows something about my past but how? Who told him and what more does he know?

I get up and head to the kitchen and prepare breakfast whilst humming which minutes later turns into me full on singing and swaying.

I then plug in my earphones and listen to stay by Riri and sing along.

"Not really sure how to feel about it something in the way you move makes me feel like I can't live without you it takes me all the way I want to stay"
I don't realize that I'm crying until a big hand turns me around and wipes my tears.

I full on cry after that but the only thing he keeps saying is I will stay forever. I calm myself down and smile brightly at Liam.

" Sorry about that I got a bit emotional OMG I woke you up? I'm so sorry oh hold up why were you on the couch? I don't remember seeing you last night but wait why did you say you'll always be there in your dreams and wait did you call me Callie again I thought I said I told you not to call me that. I guess Giants never listen but then you listen to me well sometimes" a hand on my waist shut me up instantly.

" Did you seriously just ask all those questions in one breath? I'm impressed Callie. " A smirk etched on his face as he speaks.

" I'm only going to answer one question I will always be here for you because I like you and I haven't said it before because I was afraid you'd push me away. I like you Callie, I'm very attracted to you and that's why I'll be there you mean a lot to me" He plants a kiss on my forehead and leaves.
