The Nanny Affair

14) SUNSET

I smiled right back. I gently wrapped my hair, behind my ears.

"So tell me, how are you doing,?". 
Liam asked.
"I am fine, just jetlagged,".
  I replied still smiling.

Liam and I both walked ahead together, we saw a raft, and people were there drinking.
Liam turns to me and said.
"Care for a drink,?".

I was a lot hesitant too but ended up accepting.
"Sure, not a problem,". I said to him.
He shook his head. He walked off to get the drinks.

I couldn't just stand and wait. I saw a boulder a few steps ahead and went off to my seat and wait for him.

A few minutes later, he met me there.
"Drink,?". He said.
I looked behind. He held two glasses of drinks.
"Thank you,". I said collecting one of the glasses.

I scoot a little and he sat next to me.
Liam scoots his head. He was busy looking at a couple cuddling with each other.
I held my drink up. I gulped down everything in one go, only to find myself, crying for water.
"Ah! So hot,". I screamed.
Liam turned back, he saw me dancing around.
"You okay,". He lowered his head down and met my glass empty, "oh shit! Did you drink everything at once?"
He takes up his head and questioned me.
I couldn't say anything. I kept on fanning my mouth.
Immediately he ran over to the raft outside and came back with a bottle of water.
"Hey drink this,". He opened it up for me.

I grabbed it hastily and poured the entire water inside my throat just to get rid of the hotness I felt.

Gradually the pain subsided.
I got myself again.
"You okay now,?". He asked me.
I looked at him, tears rolling from my eyes,

"Yes, but tell me, what kind of a drink is this?"
I said, I  tossed the bottle in my hand away.

Liam chuckled.
"Didn't you see the smoke coming out from the cup,  yet you chose to drink it,". He says.
"Well, you should have warned me, about it,".
I grumpily kept my eyes away from looking at him.
Liam saw that. He placed his hand on my head and forced me to look at him again.
"You do know that you're quite stubborn, right?". He smiled
I laughed. " Well, I'm not the only one,". I said.

He gave me a strange look and grinned.
