Diane’s P.O.V. “Huh? W-What do you mean?” I furrowed my forehead while asking. Suddenly, Martina killed me with her suspense acting. “It was Leandro,” Martina confessed audaciously. “What?” I couldn’t help but raised my voice. I didn’t expect them to have an intimate past together, that her revelation made me cover my mouth after being slack-jawed. “Oh my God! Really?” I couldn’t see my whole reaction right now because of my mask, but it looked like my face blanched. “Oh, don’t get me wrong! I never liked him even once, so you can have him all by yourself if you want. I just did what I had to do before to take my revenge on my ex-girlfriend who cheated on me. Leandro couldn’t even remember that we shared a bed anyway. In fact, he was only focused on you that he couldn’t even lay his eyes o

Diane’s P.O.V. “We’re going out. I just came from a whole day of work, and I haven’t eaten yet my dinner,” he said with a magnificent smile. His deep dimple showed again, starting to melt me when I couldn’t even glance away. His tone sounded a little bit commanding, but it wasn’t throttling. Jeez, I’m so excited to be with him! Although Liam just declared it without even asking me if I would be willing to go and have some dinner with him, I still couldn’t contain this exhilarating feeling. My feet abruptly felt like barely touching the ground, and I guessed that it would not even take long for me to surely faint here. “Oh, sure thing! I’ll just need a minute to change my clothes. Anyway, take care of these for now. I’ll be right back, promise!” I responded hastily while handing him the red roses.

Diane’s P.O.V. That made me blush and choke my food. Liam was respondent enough to give me some water before standing and approaching me. He then gently rubbed his palm on my back to stop me from coughing. It took me a while before I cleared my throat. It was my last spoon of blueberry cheesecake, and it was a good thing that I didn’t barf my food. “Are you alright now?” he worriedly asked me. I just nodded before my eyes gazed at him intently, almost raking his whole body. Why would he tell me such a thing? My heart was beating so fast again. “I’m sorry if I made you feel uneasy, Diane. I might have expressed my feelings over a pick-up line, but I just want you to know that I wasn’t kidding. I like you, and that’s the truth,” Liam said casually.  “Hmm, o-kay. I&md

Diane’s P.O.V. Be my girlfriend. Be my girlfriend. Be my girlfriend. Liam was already done asking me about it, but those words still kept on running through my mind. I guessed I was still in a state of shock. Actually, he didn’t ask me if I could be his girlfriend. He only asked me if I felt something for him, I nodded, and that was it. He wasn’t even sure what I felt over that something. Confused, I knew that a sullen and brooding expression crossed my entire face. I wasn’t even expecting us to get into this so soon. I could not contain my happiness, but I guessed that it was all too quick. I didn’t have any experience of having a boyfriend, and of course, nurturing a relationship. Suddenly having doubts, I hardly bit my lower lip. What should be my reaction? I

Liam’s P.O.V. I was able to catch half of his body and decided to lay him down on the sofa first. If I hadn’t done that, his body might have just been injured by the shattered glasses waiting on the floor. That was when I noticed that his right knuckles were wounded as if he cracked them against a firm and rocky object. I went to the guest’s restroom, brought the first aid kit, and returned in front of him. No matter how I tried to ignore his recklessness, I had to treat his wounds immediately so it would not get infected. It didn’t take long for me to treat them. I removed the dirt and some torn skins before disinfecting them. Since his knuckles were no longer bleeding, I used direct pressure to control swelling. After that, I wrapped his hand with a sterile gauze bandage. There was no question that Leandro was too sloshed, but I wanted to call it a night. I
