Belle Fawn
Even though Gracie was still mad at me for taking the internship back she still wanted to help me get ready for the charity event. Which I desperately needed help with. While she helped me we talked it out and she told me she was sorry for being dramatic. I totally understood where she was coming from though and obviously forgave her. She's only ever wanted what was best for me and she was angry I wasn't getting it.
How could I be mad at her when she was just being a good friend.
Then when I told her about Liam she totally freaked and definitely wanted to help me get ready. Despite lecturing me before about how I shouldn't trust him so easily. I assured her I was being cautious and that was that. I looked at myself in the dress we both picked out earlier today and I felt happy.

I didn't want to ask my parents for money to get a dress or have them buy me one so Gracie and I put some money together to get me this.
"Wow B, Liam is seriously going to drop dead when he sees you, like the pot he broke." she said making my cheeks grow red but, confused by the end of her statement.
She then went on to tell me how he got so mad about me going to see Nathan the other day that he broke our flower pot. Which had me in utter confusion so clearly Liam is jealous about Nathan that's for sure.
But, my whole question was why?
"Don't think too much about it Belle, like I said he probably just wants you all to himself, now sit so I can do your hair." she told me as I sat myself down in the chair in front of her.
Soon after thirty more minutes my hair was curled to perfection thanks to Gracie.

I got up from my chair and looked in the mirror before hugging her, "Thank you so much." I whispered gratefully.
We pulled away and she smiled, "No problem, just making sure my best friend looses her v card." she laughed while I groaned.
The thought of Liam touching me played out in my head, the way he grips my jaw to the way he places his hand on my hip. It always felt so natural and my body reacted so quickly. His demanding aura had a lot to do with how much he turns me on. But, it also made me feel like mush, a mere puddle at his feet something I wasn't used to. So when he'd touch me I'd have to stop it so quick or else I'd just let him keep going from how fuzzy my mind gets from it.
"You're not saying no!" she practically shouted making me jump from how excited she seemed by the fact, "Ughh." she groaned, "I've been waiting for this day forever."
"What day?" I asked with a laugh at how she's clapping her hands together happily.
"The day you finally let a boy in or in your case a man." she winks and I flushed red once again which made her laugh.
I wish Gracie could come but, she told she also had a hot date tonight and by date she means sex. All laughter seized though when we heard the doorbell. My eyes widen and my heart started racing as I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. While Gracie practically ran to answer the door and a few minutes later I heard her call my name. As I made my way out of my room towards the stairs I hated myself.
Because, from the front door you could see the stairs which meant Liam would see me descending from them and I hope I wouldn't fall. Once I was at the top I instantly met his heated gaze, he looked just as handsome as always maybe even more. As I made my way down my breath caught in my throat. He had on an all black tuxedo that made his hazel eyes pop and his black hair was tousled nicely.

We kept our eyes locked on one another's, his eyes gazing at me with so much intensity that made my knees almost give out. My cheeks burned from it as we both drank each other in. Once I made it to the bottom without falling, I realized just how much our outfits complimented one another's.
"Alright this air is just suffocating so I'm going to go, you two kids have fun." Gracie stated, with a laugh which made me as well.
"Bye Gracie." I said, as she walked away and I faced Liam who still hadn't taken his eyes off of me.
His hand came up to my cheek gently, his thumb caressing the skin, "You look absolutely gorgeous." he complimented, which made me smile feeling butterflies swarm my stomach.
"Thank you, you look really good as well." I muttered and he smirked, dropping his hand from my cheek and holding it out to me.
"Ready?" he asked, I smiled sliding my hand into his rough one that was full of rings.
He gripped it in his as I shut the door and allowed him to hold my hand until we got to his car. I got in when he held the door open for me, mumbling a thank you. Once he got in as well I couldn't help but, stare at him. One hand was on the steering wheel while the other rested on his chin. I've never thought anyone could be so attractive just driving but, he's definitely changed my mind.
I think it's safe to say he's changed my mind about a lot of things.
After a couple of minutes we arrived to the banquet and it was buzzing with people already. I was so happy for the big turn out because, it would raise money for the kids. Especially since people would see my decorations. Earlier today I came down to the banquet making sure everything was placed right.
My door was opened and Liam offered me his hand once again which I gladly accepted. He gave his keys to the valet then I felt his hand slide on my lower back as we walked up the steps. I inhaled a breath of air glancing over at him to see he was staring ahead confidently. Sometimes I have to remember he's probably touched so many girls in his life that touching me probably means little to nothing. To me though, it was everything as he's the only person to truly touch me in such an intimate way.
When he opened the doors, I smiled to myself getting a little excited to be arriving with the Liam. I barely even realized, what would people think?
Though everyone paid no mind as we entered, they were either dancing or sitting at the tables.
It was clear everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and I was proud of myself for how well the place actually looked. The tables were set perfectly across from the dance floor while the buffet table was against the wall near the tables.
We walked and he kept his hand firmly on my lower back guiding me through the many people.
He surprised me when I felt him whisper against my ear, "You did an amazing job Belle."
Once he pulled away my lips parted, "Thank you."
The gaze in his eyes fell to my lips before going back to my eyes and we continued until we got to a table reserved for him and I.
"I have to make the opening speech it shouldn't take long." he explained to me pulling out a chair for me to sit down at.
"Okay." I told him in response, finally catching onto the fact that he liked verbal responses.
He retreated towards the stage and I looked around seeing everyone in either black or white dresses as well as tuxedos. Everyone looked like royalty in my opinion. I was staring so much I didn't even realize Nathan appear in my vision. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a single white flower in his pocket, he looked handsome.
"Wow." he mumbled, his eyes trailing over my dress and face.
As I went to stand up he grabbed my hand softly to help me, "You look beautiful Belle." he stated looking awestruck which made me flush.
"Thank you." his hand was still holding mine when I moved it to fix his tie that was a bit crooked, "You don't look so bad either." I stated, with a small laugh.
He laughed too as I pulled my hands away, "Do you want to da.." he was suddenly cut off by Liam.
"Hello could I get everyone's attention please." At this everyone quieted down, taking there seats as well as Nathan and I who sat next to me.
"I'd first like to say thank you to my assistant Belle Fawn for designing such a beautiful event with the help of the staff..." he listed off their names while I was in shock he'd thank me, applause was heard shortly after.
When our eyes met I smiled but, his narrowed slightly which I assumed was because, of a certain someone next to me.
"Damn Belle, I didn't know this was all you it looks really good." Nathan whispered in my ear.
I closed my eyes thinking of when Liam did this earlier but, I didn't get butterflies when Nathan did it. It just made me feel nervous though as I always did when things like this happened.
Opening my eyes Liam was still watching us as I looked away and to Nathan, "Thank you."
"I also want to say a thank you to the catering staff as well as to all of you for taking the time to show up and for participating in the raffles which all profits go towards the foster kids of St. Mary's house." I couldn't help but, stare at him in awe as more applause was heard.
Liam looked so hot up there and knowing he took pride in helping the foster kids made him even more attractive. He held such a demanding and powerful aroma around him that I couldn't keep my eyes from trailing to his lips when he spoke. He was confident when he did like he knew he had everyone's attention just like he wanted.
"Now I hope you all enjoy your night and have a good time the raffles will be drawn close to midnight." he ended his speech there, glancing over at me as he walked off the stage.
The chair next to me scraped back which caught my attention. Nathan went to say something when a deep voice was heard behind me.
"Belle." I turned around at the sound meeting his hazel eyes, "Dance with me." he held his hand out and my heart almost skipped a beat.
With little wariness I got up placing my hand into his, he gripped it gently pulling me over to the dance floor. One of my hands was on his shoulder while the other held his hand, his free one going to my waist to pull me flush against him. My lips parted as we moved and I seemed in a trance when we stared at one another.
His hand slid up to brush some hair off my shoulder his fingertips grazing over the skin. It made my heart race at the contact.
"Why were you flirting with Nathan when you came here with me?" he suddenly questioned that made me sigh.
Why did everything always have to be about Nathan?
Which brought me to my next thought about what Gracie said, "...he's a jealous guy who probably just wants you all to himself."
"Wait, what?" I questioned, becoming irritated that he'd always assume I'm flirting with Nathan.
"I seen you fixing his tie and laughing with him." he explained as we moved around the danced floor amidst the other people.
"So that means I'm flirting with him?" I asked, feeling him gracefully spin my body around and pull me against him again.
Until we were chest to chest and nose to nose, "Yes." he answered, raising an eyebrow challengingly.
"Well you're wrong." I stated, getting lost in the pure intensity of his eyes, "We're just friends." I whispered.
He scoffed, "And what are we?" he asked, pushing away from me so we had space between us while we danced.
His question had me flushing in the face again and I looked anywhere but, his eyes, "You're just my boss and I'm your assistant." I replied.
Somehow I noticed by the end of the dance we made it to the corner of the room. He gripped my chin between his thumb and pointer finger to make me meet his eyes. They flashed with anger, narrowing on me with such intensity that if he wasn't holding my waist my knees would give out.
"Bullshit." he cursed, taking his hand from my chin roughly and grabbing my hand.
He pulled me through a long hallway that lead to the restroom. Dragging me behind a big white pillar away from everyone. Before he ultimately pinned me against it and pressed his soft lips onto mine.
He was right he wasn't just my boss, he was the man that just gave me my first kiss.
