His African Queen || BWWM

°TEN°

I get ready for another day of work. I then dress up and do my makeup. I make myself something to eat and eventually end up going to work.

After a while, I then buzz Liam to tell him of his meeting in 30 minutes. He doesn't answer it. Seriously, where could he be. I then decide to tell him face to face. I go into his office to see it empty.

His coffee that I placed for him was still in the same place. Did he not come to work. Why didn't he say so, I can't cancel his meeting when it's in 20 minutes.

I take out the work phone and contact Jouling Industrial company, canceling the meeting. After a few arguments of the unprofessionalism of me canceling minutes before the meeting and me trying to calm him down, I then successfully cancel the meeting.

I then go back to my office and try calling Liam through my phone. He wasn't picking up. I ten ask Jade to call him just in case he's just ignoring my calls. She reports back that he isn't picking up her call too.

I then just start canceling everything we had planned today for him. 15 minutes later I get a call through the work phone. I pick up to hear Liam's mother's thick Italian accent.

"Hello my baby. How you doing?" she asks me. "I'm good and you, ma'am." "Mario I though I told you with the ma'am thing." "Sorry." "It's all good but I'm doing okay. Can you please put this call through to Liam. He isn't picking up my calls."

"Oh um he's not here and you're not the only one's calls he ain't picking up." I say confused a bit as to why he isn't pickin up any calls. "Oh is something wrong with him?" "Um I don't know."

"Well go find out if my baby's okay. You're his girlfriend afterall." and yes she still thinks I'm Liam's girlfriend... *Sigh* "Yes I was, I was just first canceling his meetings then I was going to go check up on him." I lie through my teeth. "Good and tell me what's going on okay?" "Alright will do." I say and she ends the call.

Now I have to go all the way to Liam's house to get attitude from him. Ugh! After I was doing my stuff, I then pack my stuff and head out. I explain everything to Kade and she wished me luck.

I head over to the first house I went to. Jade told me, he probably would be there. After I get there I then head to the security at the gate. "HI, um my name is Marii and I was told by Liam's mother to check up on him." I say to the man.

"Let me check in with him." check in with him for what? At least now I can just go home without feeling guilty cause he ain't gon let me in. He comes back and opens the gate. He said yes? Oh man... *Sigh*

I then go through and give the man a tight lip smile. After doing long walk to freedom, I finally reached the damn door. The door was opened for me and I head to his room. I knock on the door and I heard a light "Come in."

I go in, close the door and turn around to see Liam looking super pale and weak. "Liam? Are you okay?" he doesn't answer me but justs looks at me. I walk to him and place my hand on his forehead. He was burning. "Oh my gosh, you're burning." I say feeling the rest of his body.

"Why didn't you call and say so. Did you take anything?" he shakes his face. "I'm fine." he says. I freeze and look at him with disbelief. "You're fine? Are you-you damn look like you're dying. All pale and hot. You're not fine Liam." I say and head into his bathroom.

I take a little bucket and fill it with warm water. I head into his room again not before I tell Liam's mom of his condition. I pull the covers off him and he immediately groans.

"Liam come sit up and let's take your shirt off." I say. After a while of me trying to pull him up. I then help him take off his shirt. He lays back down and I dampen his towel and dab it all over him trying to decrease his temperature.

I then tell him of how I canceled everything today and how it might be difficult to schedule another meeting with the industrial company again. I then tell him of how his mother tried to call him. "It seemed important." "I'll call later."

He seems so different when he's sick. He goes from being loud and dominant to being soft and so vulnerable. "You've got medicine that you could drink?" I say as I still dab him.

"Yes in the bathroom counter." he says. I then make my way to the bathroom and look for Medicine for flu. I grab two and refill the bucket with warm water.

I make my way back to Liam whilst reading the dosage times of the medicines. One was before a meal and the other was after. I quickly head to kitchen to fetch a spoon. I poured the syrup onto the spoon and fesd it to him.

His face scrunched up in disgust. I am not surprised cause the syrup was black. Damn all black syrup are ugly. I dampen his towel again and dab him up. "You have to drink these pills after you eat, okay. So I'm going to make you something and then you can drink the pills."

I made him lie on his stomach and placed the towel on his back. He sighed in satisfaction. "You have eucalyptus oil?" I asked him. "No? Why?" "Oh I was just going to do something that was definitely going to make you feel better." "Oh." he says as he turn back to lie on his back.

I dampen the towel again and place it on his chest. I then feel his hand go over mine. "Marii." he says faintly. "Yes." I say as I move the town to his lower abdomen. "Please sit down but first dampen the towel please." he says and I just smile as I dampen the towel.

I place it around his neck and chest making him sigh. I chuckle at the scene. "I want to ask you something." he blurts out. "What's up?" I say dabbing the towel around his neck and forehead. I then felt him and it seemed he had gone down a bit in the temperature.

"Why did you tell me off that day?" I sigh as I knew exactly what he was talking about. "I told you Li-" "No the real reason Marii." he cuts me off as he sits up. I then say nothing. I can't tell him, he will definitely take this so wrong.

I look at him and a look of concern wahsed over him. "I didn't want to say this but I don't want to be played Liam. I can't get my heart broken by you. I don't want a just fuck relationship with anyone."

It's quite for a moment. "Oh wow. You just see me as a player, huh." "Oh don't act surprised Liam. You haven't really justified yourself as a non-player man."

"Look. I get it. I have been a messy person but you probably not going to believe me but I think I' ve... fallen for you." I turn around immediately to face him. I looked at him in disbelief. "You? Liam Augero, falling foe a girl. Yeah, I don't believe you." I say as I stand up.

"Oh come on Marii. *cough* *cough*," "What? You said it yourself, it's unbelievable." he sighs in defeat and closes his eyes. "Prove it." I say to me. "What do you want me to do. I'll do anything for you." he says as he tries coming towards me.

I make lie back down on the bed. "Tell everything that you like me." I say knowing damn well he will not do that. Had to go crazy to really test him. "That's if you agree to be mine." "I'll be yours after you do it." I say folding my arms around my chest.

He looks at me and does nothing. I knew it. "Let me cook you something up." I say as I leave to the kitchen. I then pull out ingredients to make him a noodle soup. I wip my tears as I lay the ingredients that were ready to be used.

I washed my hands and calmed down a bit. After a while I was dishigg the soup into a bowl when I hear footsteps, more like heels. I ignore the footsteps and prepare a tray for Liam.

"Um what are you doing here?" I look up to see who the voice belonged to. Kayla...
