Unexpected Confrontation

Liam's P.O.V.

A soft nudge against my ribs pulled me from the warmth of sleep. I groaned, burying my face deeper into the pillow, hoping whoever was disturbing me would take the hint and leave me alone.

No such luck.

"Liam." A familiar voice whispered right next to my ear.

I cracked one eye open to see Mai perched on the couch beside me, her green eyes gleaming with amusement. Her curls framed her face, falling down her shoulders in a way that made her look both angelic and menacing.

"What?" I mumbled, voice hoarse with sleep.

She smirked, completely unbothered by my grogginess. "I have to go home."

That woke me up.

I sat up abruptly, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "What? Why?"

Mai sighed, brushing a loose curl behind her ear. "My parents and Ollie have been calling me non-stop. They probably think I got kidnapped."

I frowned. "I'll take you back."
