Diane’s P.O.V.
You are embarrassing, Diane! So, what do you expect? That he will kiss you? Oh my God! Maybe his brother, Leandro, will do that to you faster than the speed of light. So quick that you do not even have to wait!
But Liam? Do not ever assume that he will like you! Not even a single chance that he will fall for someone like you, okay? Women like you are not his type. So it will be better not to expect anymore because you will only get hurt in the end.
My subconscious was such a pest, murmuring at the back of my head and acting like it already knew everything. It would not leave me alone, and it was damn too annoying. Suddenly uncomfortable with what Liam had said, I slowly removed myself from leaning against the wall and just followed him with my gaze.
Liam laid his body on the small sofa, but he could not fit in
Diane’s P.O.V.Looking at him again, I could not help but fall more and more into his gaze. It felt like I ended up melting even more. I bit my lower lip as hard as I could.Even if I wanted to be afraid by how deep his stares were at me, I could not understand myself because it was as if I even liked what he was doing. Even if I wanted to get away from him, it was as if I wanted to get closer to him. Tonight might be the first time we saw each other, but I wanted to know him more.“You know what, Liam? Whatever the outcome of me being with you right now, it would be all my fault. The moment I entered your car, I did not think straight though. I just went with the flow—naively crossing something without even discerning about the possible risk. So, I guess I really have to face the consequence. I have to deal with it.”My goodness, I didn’t even know
Diane’s P.O.V.After a few minutes, Liam got out of the bathroom wearing a plain white T-shirt and boxer shorts. He was holding his tuxedo. As much as I would like to see him with his wet hair, I ended up ignoring him.With the towel on my shoulder, I rushed inside and locked the bathroom door. I could not even remember if I closed the fridge properly. All I wanted was to avoid him. I felt like my face was still red from the heat, and I immediately confirmed it in front of the mirror above the sink, installed right next to the door.Soon, I was done showering too. I was not able to bring my bra, so I was sure that my rich breasts could be barely seen through my lacy top. Hiding them from Liam, I just crossed my arms in front of my chest while walking in the direction of the cabinet. I even saw him watching a Netfilms’ movie, but I had decided to look away.“Forget a
Diane’s P.O.V.I woke up to the intensity of the sunlight hitting my face, making me rub my hazy eyes in the process. It was almost blinding me, but I had to open my eyes to see how it seeped into the room. The sun relentlessly poured through the balcony glass door. Another day had dawned, bringing new hopes and aspirations.But wait, why do I seem to be somewhere else? I wondered before I scanned the whole place.Only then, everything that happened last night sank into my brain—that I ended up with Liam while avoiding Leandro. Liam does not want me to commute on my way home, but his sports car runs out of gas in the middle of the road, so we had to check-in, then spend the rest of the night in this budget inn.Left with no other choice, I agreed to share a room with him since there was only one room available. He was a gentleman enough to sleep on the couch, but
Diane’s P.O.V.I smiled awkwardly as the heat rose from the stomach to my face, making my cheeks suddenly warmed up. Marky was like his mother, Alma.Couldn’t he remember last night that I didn’t want to share a room with Liam? Whose wife will do that?There was something in me that was aggravated not because of what they thought about the two of us, but because I knew that it would never happen as much as I wanted to. In the end, I would just hope and assume for nothing. If I continue to nurture this odd feeling, I would only be hurt. Our social status was so much different, and it was so impossible for me to reach him—let alone for Liam to fall in love with someone like me.“Oh, is that so? Sorry, ma’am!” He ended up scratching his head at my response. “Well, it looks like you two were destined for each other.”&
Liam’s P.O.V.Feeling a heavy object on top of me, I slowly opened my eyes only to find Diane’s head leaning over my chest. I didn’t know what she was doing. But when she raised her head, she seemed to be slack-jawed that her chin fell on me, adding more weight in the process. Her brown and tantalizing eyes were stuck at me, making the muscle on my jaw suddenly twitch.Isn’t she used to seeing a handsome angel in the morning?I wondered with amusement, but it would be best if this was her first time. It might be selfish to say because I didn’t have the right, but I would never like the idea of Diane waking up in the morning with another guy.Raising my left hand as I was about to touch her head, my forehead creased with what she did next. She hurried away from me and brought the two stainless trays from the small table into the bed. “Hi! Good morning, Lia
Liam’s P.O.V.“Wait, Liam! We have to pray first,” she declared, and at the same time, she did a sign of the cross and closed her eyes in a slow-motion manner.“Hmm… all right,” I reluctantly replied. It was obvious that I wasn’t used to praying before eating.Tsk! Am I already a turn off for her?After we prayed, Diane and I silently ate together in the bed we shared last night. I couldn’t read what was on her mind, but I didn’t pray for myself. I prayed for her, and that was the first time I prayed for another person. I prayed that she would soon conquer her bad dream whatever it was.And if this wasn’t the last time I would see her, I would help her conquer everything if she would let me. Together, we would defeat all of her fears.Seeing her eat would make me want to ea
Diane’s P.O.V.Ever since he kissed me, I wasn’t able to speak anymore and remained tight-lipped of voicing out even the slightest of my thoughts. I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but I didn’t know.Until now, my heart was beating so loud that I didn’t have the power to control it. I couldn’t understand why I felt like this. It was my first kiss. Yes, it was only a peck, but I would never change the fact that his lips brushed with mine. Liam stole my first kiss, and it was something I could never forget easily.But in contrast, I couldn’t explain the feeling, and it was even driving me insane. I liked Liam. I really do. But I did not expect that he would do that either. I didn’t mean to call him ‘sir’ in the first place. I was reserving my first kiss to whoever would be my first boyfriend. I wanted my first kiss to be extra special an
Diane’s P.O.V.I ended up averting my eyes because I did not know what to say. I was lost for words. With the excessive sound of my heartbeats, it felt like my chest was about to explode.Why is he like that? Oh my God! I am still alive right now, but why does it feel like I could no longer breathe anymore? Does it mean that Liam was not in a relationship too?God knows that he was more than qualified to woo and pursue me, but what about his brother? With Leandro’s temper, everything between Liam and I was truly impossible.“Tonight, I will go to Lucy’s Club and watch you.” Liam almost whispered.He made me look at him again with that statement. He stole me a glance for a quick moment, but with that, I knew for sure that I saw a strange spark in his eyes even though I was not able to answer his last question about c
