Chapter 75 - Rose Garden
She stretched her hand towards him to take the hairdryer from him. He shook his head moving the dryer away from her reach.
"I will do it for you. It will be hard to do it yourself," he said with his signature smile lifting the corners of his lips.
Rose got too mesmerized in his smile she could not refuse as he guarded her to sit on the bed and he plugged the hairdryer. "This isn't right," she said standing up as soon as he began helping her dry her hair.
"What?" He asked stepping away from her with a very innocent look.
"This, all this. You and I together. I don't even know you for goodness sake. I don't understand what is going on.. I just want to go home," she blabbed unable to say all that kept bothering her. She needed a place to think and he was not helping her in any way.
Liam pressed his lips together and gave her the hair dryer. "Dry your hair and wear any of these. I will give you a ride home. You won't find any taxi around here," he told her before leaving the room unhurriedly.
She could finally breath when he left. She dried her hair as fast as the dryer could dry it before putting on one of the clothes he left on her bed. They were not hers but they were new and fit without stress.
She opened the door and walked out of the room after checking around for her bag and cloth but she could not find them. She met him downstairs.
"You are reading. I guess I didn't forget your size after all," he said naturally as he stood up from the sofa he sat on watching her take the steps steadily downstairs.
"Why do you know my cloth size?" She asked watching closely suspiciously.
"That's a story for some other time. I am sure your family members are waiting for you. I will take you home," he said walking to her. He placed a pair of black sneakers on the floor in front of her. "I advice you to abstain from wearing heels for now, you hurt your leg yesterday. I am glad you are not feeling pain."
She opened her mouth to argue, at least to say something but she had to close her mouth after a few seconds of been unable to come up with the right thing to say.
His grey eyes watched her as she wore the shoes he gave her. "The shoes fit too," he said proudly like a little child child that got all his test answers correct in a maths test.
"How is Jace?" She asked as soon as she stood up.
"Jace?" he asked his smile completely gone from his face.
"Yes, my sister and I haven't seen him in a while. I thought he will visit us sometime before he leaves," she replied nodding.
"Oh," Liam could only say at that moment. He found his thoughts going towards the day Jace came to visit him in his office. He tried his best to be as nice as he could to him but it seems Jace was holding his actions against him. He only hoped his brother does not seek his blood over his betrayal.
Rose noticed the change in his mood immediately and got curious although she felt sorry for him. She did not know why he chose to betray his family but she could only conclude that like every other decisions made by people, he also had a reason why he made the decision he made.
"I want to go home," she said breaking his chain of thoughts.
He looked at and smiled brightly in a manner that got her heart beating really fast. She was a hundred percent sure no one will believe she received such bright smile filled with enough sincerity to literally melt someone's heart to a poodle from the famous richest Mafia King in town.
"Here, your clothes from last night," he said showing her a paper bag which he held. She reached for it but he pulled it away from her. "I will carry it for you," he said walking towards the door.
"This house looks really good. I love the color combination," she found herself complimenting his mansion as soon as they stepped out of the large door.
"I am glad you like it. I designed it with you on my mind," he said with a cheeky smile that got her frozen.
"Why will you do that?" she had to ask confused. She really wished her lips was not fast to compliment before her brain could stop it.
"That's a story for another day. We will be seeing each other more frequently," he said.
"I . . . You . . ." she began but could not think of the right way to phrase all the questions she had in her throat trying hard to come out to his ears.
"I know you have a lot of questions. You want to know why I have been visiting you. You want to know a lot of things and I am more than willing to tell you but that will be a discussion for some other time," he said leading the way down the steps infront of the house.
She was welcomed by the most beautiful Rose garden she had ever seen in her life. Their colors were just so beautiful and unique. They planted each color to form a pattern that spelt her name in a very beautiful cursive writing.
Their beauty was magnificent it made her teary. Some had colors she had never seen before. "How is this possible?" she had to ask unable to take her eyes off them.
"Some of them were made specifically for me by a friend of mine. I love roses," he replied pleased with her reaction. He was sure she will get a lot more emotional reaction from her if she sees the roses he planted for her in Star city.
"They are gorgeous," she said looking at them wishing she could wake up to look at this every day. "Their scent is beautiful," she continued compliment.
"Wait a minute," he said leaving her.
She barely heard him as she stepped close to the garden and touched a beautiful Amber rose than looked so beautiful. She leaned down to smell them and had herself falling in love with his mansion, that she did not feel the desire to leave anymore.
Liam watched the breathtaking view as he got closer to her from his car. Her very unique hair flowed beautifully to the side of her face the wave of aurburn in a sea of brown hair were the most beautiful hair color combination in the world.
She seemed to notice his presence when he got closer. She stood up and looked at him her hazel eyes shining brightly at him the moisture in them glistering in a very beautiful manner.
"I will take you home now," he said pointing at his black limited edition electric sport car behind them.
"Oh sure," she glanced at the flowers before following him to the car. It felt sad to part from such beautiful sight.
He looked at her when they got to his car and she wore a pout as she glanced back at the flowers. He found her pout very cute. Her pink natural lips looking really attractive as he gulped. He entered his car to prevent himself from claiming her lips for his completely.
Bad thoughts always tries to find their way to your head when you are having a lot of fun and the picture of her lifeless body in his arms flashed through his mind.
He rubbed his eyes unwilling to let those thoughts ruin his time with her. He was not going to let that happen to her in this life. She was very much alive and he was alive too, at least for now.
