Chapter 8

"You look beautiful," Ian said with a grin as he saw me walking towards him.

"Seriously? I am wearing a sweatshirt, Ian. How can I look beautiful in a sweatshirt?" I said with a laugh.

"Yeah, I mean in school days you used to wear sweatshirts too but you looked beautiful every day because you are indeed beautiful. You will look beautiful in anything you will wear." He said and I couldn't help but smile widely.

"Oh god, Ian as you said it's not a date and you don't have to praise me this much. But thank you and stop being a flirt." I said with a chuckle.

Ian has a sweet tongue. He always talks sweetly to everyone even though his intentions sometimes are bad but because of his sweet words, no one seems to notice that besides a few people. As we reached a coffee shop he pulled over. After giving our orders we sat in silence for a few seconds before he spoke first.

"I am sorry to hear about your and Aiden's breakup."

"Um, it's okay. It's been four years now Ian."

"Yeah, I know but it was wrong of him to be suspicious about you and not trust you." He said and I looked at him surprised and confused.

No one knows the reason for our break up not even Grace and Aiden but it looks like Ian knows. But how? I am sure Aiden doesn't tell him, they never used to be that close that he will share something so private with Ian and not with Aiden.

"How do you know?" I asked

"What?" he asked being confused

"How do you know the reason we broke up? No one knows about that." I asked and he paused before answering.

"Liam told me. The night you left Italy, Liam came to my house and told me everything." He said with a sad smile. It was hard for me to believe that Liam went to Ian after our breakup.

Why would Liam go to Ian and not Aiden when he is close to Aiden than anyone? Before I could ask more the waitress bought our order so I sat quietly and decided to stay silent. We both talked about some stuff from past and present except mine and Liam's topic remained untouched which I appreciated a lot.

Reaching the resort, I went directly to my room. Changing my clothes from a sweatshirt and jeans to my silk lavender PJs. As I walked down the beach while talking on my phone with John about work stuff. I sat there watching the beautiful sunset scene in front of me. I heard someone coming towards me when I turned, I saw Grace walking in my direction with a big smile on her face. Ending my call with John, I asked her,

"Why so happy?" I asked her as I patted the spot next to mine telling her to sit.

"Tomorrow we are going to pick my wedding dress." She said while sitting next to me.

"We?" I was a little unsure who these 'we' people were. As soon as I asked her, she gave me a smug smile.

"No darling, Liam won't be with us he will go with Aiden but if you want him to come with us then I can talk to him about this." She said to me with a sweet smile to which I just rolled my eyes at her.
