Chapter 10: Caring?

I didn't want to let go

We stayed like that for what seemed like hours, until I stopped crying and he pulled away

I felt cold again

"You okay now?...Im really sorry ba-, I mean Renae, I didn't want you to cry"

I just nodded and sniffled

I felt like hugging him again, his face looked so concerned

He was about to say something until Maybelle through the door

"Seriously, Liam, really?!!"

Liam face showed confusion

"You got a girlfriend, we said side chicks and chicos, not full commitment"

I had just remembered Maybelle was still in the picture

"I don't care, about that, I don't like you, you don't like me, get a boyfriend, I wouldn't care"

Maybelle looked like she was going to burst

"But, I want you I want-"

Liam pinched the bridge of his nose then interrupted

"Maybelle, no strings attached,NO STRINGS ATTACHED, what can't you get? We agreed we didn't want this and now you've grown feelings?"

I winced at his voice, Maybelle looked down and played with her fingers, I actually felt bad for her

"Yeah your right, I'm going to find a boyfriend, and you can't stop me, I might try the Troye boy, weird, but cute" she said trying to put in confidence

Liam looked like he was about to laugh, and I wanted too.

She left and we both started laughing

Troye? Seriously?

Can't she tell he doesn't go that way, the rejection is going to be real

Liam's laugh interrupted my thoughts, it was beautiful

When we stopped, it got awkward

"So you are still going to fire me?"

He thought for a secpnd, still bent on the floor

He got up

"I don't know Renae, you have to prove yourself worthy"

I felt like jumping on him again, but instead I grabbed his warm hands, in my small ones

"Thank you, Thank you"
I said while shaking them

He looked surprised, then smiled

"Your welcome, sheesh"

Then we stood there, awkwardly and nervously until my big mouth said something stupid

"Soooo....you and Kelly?"

He looked away and put his hand in his hair

"What about us?"

Shoot

"Congratulations, I guess"

He whispered some words to himself, then took a deep breath

"So your happy about us?"

He looked confused as hell

"Of course, my bestfriend likes you, why would I not be happy for you?"

I lied so much today

"We're having our annual office celebration and I was wondering if you could be my date to it...just as friends of course"

What he wanted to go with me m, what about kelly? What would she think? I wanted to say yes so bad, but it was wrong

"I-i can't" I managed to get out

He looked striken, and embarrassed, then I guess he remembered

"Oh I would go with Kelly, but it's co-workers only"

He is the boss of this place can't he just change that? And even if he can, I still can't go as friends, Kelly would be so disappointed.

"It's not that, I already got a date"

He narrowed his eyes

"Who?"

Damn. Nosy much?

"You'll just have to see" I laughed nervously

That ended that conversation, I ended up asking him for my work for the day, he gave it to me, but seemed like he was ignoring me at the same time.

I shrugged it off, but I really had to find a date for the party

When lunch came around, I went with Troye to Chick-fil-A, my favorite fast food.

He said he already had a date

Now what was I supposed to do??

We talked about yanny and laurel for sometime, until my eye caught on a man.

He walked in swiftly, wearing a black turtle neck, black pants and black shoes

The way he walked, the way he dressed, his hair.....

It was all too familiar....

He looked my way, but made no eye contact. And I swear I fainted

Right there, standing in THIS Chick-fil-A, with all his fake glory was.........
