Homicide On The Loose

Chapter 7

Our shopping trip was shortened because Margaret remembered that she had arranged a get together for tea with her friends.

I was so happy, I could kiss the floors to show you how dreadful it was to go shopping. I mean if you go to the mall to buy things that you need, that's fine. But not them, they literally bought the whole store. And on top of that, they kept on buying me clothes which, need I remind you, have enough clothes.

They bought me a lot of dresses, but the ridiculous thing was 6 pairs of the same blue jeans. I mean, who needs 6 pairs of the same blue jeans? Not me, obviously!

They bought me a lot of other stuffs which I do not want to mention all of them because there are a lot and if I do, I could write a whole book about it. No kidding.

They didn't buy a lot because they were too focused on me rather than looking for their stuffs. And so, that is how I ended up with 6 pairs of the same blue jeans.

We went shopping for 4 hours and that felt like an eternity to me. It was tiring! All I had to do was try on clothes and they would comment on all of them but they would just end up buying all of the clothes that I had tried.

Sam and I are currently in her room unpacking all of our clothes. When we were done, my clothes were stacked up so high that it was almost like a mountain. I know I shouldn't be complaining but this is the first time that I get to experience this way. Deep down, I like to be spoiled because for the first time in my life I feel like people do care about me.

"Can we do something fun?" I asked.

She thought for a while, until she jumped excitedly "Let's go and dip in the pool! I bought a new bikini, you can have it. It's in black, if you don't mind."

That idea excited me too, but wearing a bikini? Not very much. I have never exposed myself to that extent.

I guess Sam saw the look on my face because she said "It's okay! There's no one home!"

We changed into our bikinis, me in the bathroom and her in the walk-in-closet. I glanced at the clothing that I am about to wear thinking of how exposed it is. I hesitated as I put it on but shrugged it off thinking that there won't be anyone home.

I looked at myself in the mirrow and thought that I don't look too bad.

When I got out, Sam was there standing a few feet away from the bathroom door, I was surprised that I jumped a little.

"Oh my god! You look so hot! Wait till my brother sees this sight! He is going to melt, I assure you!" she exclaimed.

I wanted to reply but was interrupted by someone's voice "Where are you guys going?"

It was Liam. Great, now he get to see me like this. I wonder what he will think of me.

"The pool, duhh! Anyways I'll go first and Leyla" she stopped "Don't be too late!" she winked as she stood at her doorway. What was that for?

"So, was it fun?" he asked me, making me confused"

"The shopping trip." I made a face when he said those words.

He started laughing which was the most attractive sound that I have ever heard in my entire life.

We stared at each other for some time before I heard Sam yelling my name.

"I should go." I stated.

"Yeah, okay."

I walked out of the bedroom and head outside into the garden. The pool was huge and in a corner there was a slide which looks so fun. I ran to the slide, and climbed on the stairs of the slide. I stood on top of the slide, it was quite high. I sat down and slide, heading into the water.

Sam and I talked with ourselves in the jacuzzi and we were laughing about something until we heard a voice "What are you two laughing about?"

There, stood Liam looking so delicious in only his shorts. I eyed him from head to toe capturing this moment in my brain.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." he said smirking.

I looked away trying to hide my blush that was forming on my cheeks but they started laughing in response.

He got in the jacuzzi and sat down beside me real close as if to embarrass me more and he succeeded at that. It just continued to make me blush more.

His skin against mine felt so good that I started to relax and felt comfortable. I wonder what It'll feel like if I get to feel this way, everyday. It will be pure bliss.

We played in the water until it was almost dark. I forgot to bring my towel, why am I so forgetful? Maybe you're just forgetful when Liam's around. This is bad, very bad.

"You don't have a towel?" Liam asked.

I shook my head indicating no. He handed me his towel and I just stared at it.

"What about you?" I asked.

"I'm fine, you use it." I took it from his hand and started to dry myself.

"I think we need to discuss about us." he stated making me nod. We do need to talk.

Sam went upstairs a long time ago. We sat on the chairs and he started the conversation "When do you want the wedding to be held?"

"Whenever you're free. I thought that you'll be busy."

He thought about it before replying "I'm very busy this month." he paused "How about next month? It will still be a summer wedding. But will it be okay if we get married this early? Is it fine for you?"

"Yeah, I mean the sooner the better." I replied.

"You can plan this with my mother, can you?" he asked and I nodded.

"One last thing, when do you plan on moving on with me?" Moving in with him? I will have to live in a house alone with this man that is sitting beside me? I don't think I can survive this. This is too much.

When I think about it, I've never thought about moving in with him. But now that he'd mention it, my heart started to beat faster. Why is it beating faster? What does this mean?

"Uhm, I don't mind." I really don't mind or do I? I am very confused!

"How about on Monday? I will pick you up at your apartment after I have finished my work at the office."

"Okay."

We sat there for a while and I realized that it was now completely dark.

"You should get inside or you'll catch a cold." is he worried about me?

"What about you?" I asked. I don't want him to catch a cold too.

"Come on, let's go."

He took my hand and lead me upstairs. When we got to Sam's room he stared at our intertwined hands until the door was jerked open. Sam stood there looking at us confused.

"I-uh-I should-uhm go and shower now." I walked inside without waiting for their reply. Why am I acting this way? Why did I stutter?

I walked inside the bathroom and decided to have a bath instead. I adjusted the temperature until it was warm and nice.

As I was in the bath, I instantly feel myself relaxing and felt drowsy. I closed my eyes but I didn't realise that I was actually drifting myself to sleep.
