🌺 Alex 🌺
He opens the door for me and we walk back into the gala. I'm guessing the kiss persuaded him to stay.
Before we enter the room full of people, Liam pulls my arm which causes me to turn back to him. He pulls me close and looks down at me with his crystal blue eyes.
He brings his lips closer to mine and gently brushes them. I close my eyes and feel his hands snake their way to the lower part of my back.
"Please tell me your gonna break up with him" he whispers in my ear and presses his lips against mine.
I smile into the kiss and pull away "David and I aren't even together, were just friends" I Say
"Good, because I want you" he says huskily
Damn, this man was turning me on...
Before we went any further, I pull myself out of his arms.
"We better go in before someone sees us, and please, try not to get into a fight with David." I say caressing his cheek.
I just wanted everything to go smoothly, with no fighting. I don't understand why they never get along.
"Ill try, for you" he says
We make our way back into the room. I am stopped by a few people and greet them before I make my way back to the table.
"Finally your back, that took a while" David says getting up to pull out my chair for me to sit
"Thank you" Trying to clear the air, I don't say anything else and take a seat.
David walks over to Liam and apologies. They shake hands and take a seat beside me. David on my right and Liam on my left.
Let's hope this dinner doesn't get awkward..
Our round table of 10 people was full and it looked like all of our guests had arrived, so we were ready to start.
After the host makes a few introductions and welcomes everyone, she calls me up to say a few words before dinner is served.
I get out of my seat and walk upto the podium, grabbing the microphone.
"Hello everyone, thank you very much for coming here today for the 1st ever Anderson charity event in memorial of my late husband who passed away one year ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I miss him dearly and I know that all of you do too. Ace was a caring man. He loved to give and help the needy.
Which is why in his memory, I decided to host the 1st ever Anderson charity event to raise money for our partnership charities that help the poor and needy. I know that together, we can help make a change. Which is something Ace would have wanted us to do. After dinner, we will start the auction where all the money raised will be donated. I really do hope you participate.
And now for a toast, in memory of my dear beloved Ace"
Iraise up my glass and everyone with me toasts to Ace.
"Please enjoy the night, thank you" I say and get down, people clap and I find my way back to my seat
"Beautiful job darling" David says and places his hand on my back
I give him a soft smile and decide to go get a drink from the bar
"Im gonna get a drink, does anyone want anything?" I ask
"Il come with you" David says
As we make our way to the bar, we stop and talk to some of the guests and make small talk. We finally reach the bar and order 2 drinks. As we wait for our drinks,
David comes closer to me "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry again for what happened earlier. I was on the phone with a potential business deal before and it didn't end up going too well which got me in a bad mood.
So I was a bit pissed off and it wasn't right for me to act up, especially to Liam" He says
I grab his hand "David it's okay, we all have our moments" I say.
We make small talk and after a few minutes, I start laughing. Which was a typical conversation with David, he always knew how to make me laugh.
We were about to make our way back to our seats when I see her standing beside us.
"Veronica?" I ask, Ace's ex-fiancee, the one who left him after his face got damaged. The b*tch.
"Alexandra, how are you doing dear?" she asks
I guess someone invited her....
"Im okay, how about you? How's everything?" I ask trying to not show how fake I was being
"Pretty good." She turns to David
"Ah David Zay! I haven't seen you in forever! Look at you, handsome as ever" She says and gives him a hug
"Veronica, it's nice to see you" he says with a smile
Damn... I feel like they wanted to pounce on each other with the intense look they both had.
"So you and David? Moving on already I see" she says with a d*rty smirk
I clear my throat and look at her with stern eyes, "Um no actually, were just friends. Unlike you, I don't move on so quickly" I get up and head back to my seat.
She annoyed me, so much!
She just seemed like an a*ful person, especially after what she did to Ace. I could never forget that.
I reached my seat and realized Liam wasn't sitting there.
I put down my drink and go out to the hallway where the bathrooms were.
Thinking that he would be there, I see him standing in the hallway on his phone
"Not enjoying the party?" I ask
"It's not fun when your not around" he says with a smile
I smile back at him and lean my back against the wall like how he was standing.
"Well we have that in common, guess we're both not having a great time" I say with a pout
He turns and faces me "What's wrong, is your knight and shining armour not giving you a fun time?" he asks sarcastically
I roll my eyes and point my finger at his chest "Are you jealous, fine sir?"
"Me jealous? Why would I be jealous?" he says with a puff
"Anyway, what's wrong?" he asks with worried eyes
I let out a breath of air "It just, ugh this annoying b*tch!" I yell
"Whoa- alright let's hear about this 'annoying b*tch" he says making air quotes with his fingers.
Letting out my steam, I continue "Ace's ex fiance, Veronica, ugh! She always gets on my nerves and-" I notice he's taken aback and startled at the mention of her name so he interrupts me
"Wait, Veronica's here?" he asks
"You know who Veronica is?" I question
I realize he starts to get nervous and stutter with his answer
"U-uhm, uh well, I know who she is... Um from the tabloids before, when she was um engaged to Ace. But- I've never met her of course, only heard of her..." he says hesitantly
Ok... I don't know what his deal was.
"Uh okay, anyways, so she came up to me and was like 'ah, you and david? Moving on already' ugh this b*tch!" I yell with frustration
"And what did you say?" he asks
"I called her out and was like, 'unlike you, i don't move on that fast' since you know, shes a fricken whore, excuse my language-" I say with a puff
Liam turns his serious face into a big smile and starts to laugh
".. uh what's so funny Liam?" I ask raising one eyebrow
"Stop, did you actually say that!?" he asks while laughing
"Of course I did! And I know it's wrong but-" he cuts me off
"NO! Alex that's the best thing I've ever heard, damn I wish I was there to see it in person" He says as he continues laughing, eventually I join him in this funny moment.
After a few minutes, we calm down and decide to sit on the sofas that were nearby in the hallway, and I explain to him what Veronica had done to Ace. How they were engaged but she left him right after realizing his face was damaged.
Makes my blood boil everytime.
"Well don't stress Over that too much, because Ace got someone better, You." Liam says caressing my hand.
I give him a small smile and look away. I'm reminded of the lie I was carrying and telling everyone in this gala tonight. The lie I've been living for a whole year. I wasn't really 'Mrs. Anderson'. I wasn't 'someone better' for Ace.
He never knew anything about me. But alas, I had to continue faking everything in my life and live this lie.
After a couple minutes of silence, I come back to my thoughts "I just hate how she 'assumed' I had moved on and was with David! Like why call it out?" I say
Liam takes a deep breath and looks at me with a serious face
"Well are you? With David? Like, have you moved on?"
I answer immediately "Of course not. Like I've told you, were just friends!
And, if anything... I'd rather be..." I start to stutter while saying these words
Not knowing what can happen or how this would change things. If he even felt the same way!
"Liam, I would rather be with you"
