what we started before we were interrupted.' She whispers in
my ear.
I pick her up and she squeals in
surprise as I carry her to my room where we do just that for the
rest of the day. It's just me and her and its perfect. We are
perfect.

Chapter Eleven
Lexi
I am sat in a sleek black sports
car, next to a beautiful man taking me to buy new clothes. I have
to pinch myself to check if this is real. However, the fact I am
dressed in a large grey t-shirt and large grey sweats, that are
rolled up at the waist and the ankles revealing Liam's white socks
and no shoes, I am sure that yep this is real.
'What are you thinking so hard
about?' Liam teases, grabbing my hand and kiss it.
'How I must be dreaming and any
minute now I am going to wake up alone, in my own bed, upset that I
only dreamt you up.' I reveal to him even though my voice
breaking.
'You will never wake up in that
bed ever again, I promise you. If you dreamt me up then you're a
very dirty girl Miss Cross.' He chuckles trying to lighten the mood
as I blush thinking about last night.
As well pull up outside a very
fancy and expensive looking boutique, I feel uneasiness settle like
a rock in the pit of my stomach. I don't belong here, I know it and
so will they.
We get out and Liam's phone
rings, he signals for me to go ahead. He will be one minute he
gestures with a confident smile. Great, I take a deep cleansing
breath and open the heavy glass door to step inside. I immediately
spot a stunning cream, off the shoulder chunky knitted sweater on
the manikin.
'Can I help you miss?' A snotty
voice comes from behind me as I stand there in awe of all the
beautiful clothes. I turn towards the voice, I am met with a middle
aged man. He is tall and skinny with a pointy nose, eyes narrowed
at me in disgust, as he looks me up and down.
'Ermm.........That would be
wonderful thank you, though I just need to wait for
my.......Boyfriend?' I try not to let my nerves get the better of
me but he is so intimidating with his icy glare.
'To be quite honest Miss,
forgive me but our clothes seem a little out of your.....well
taste.' He states not looking sorry at all as the other two ladies
shopping giggle. I put my head down ashamed, how could I argue, he
was right. I probably couldn't afford a carrier bag from this
place. I was just about to nod and leave when I heard the
unmistakable, sexy deep tone of My Liam. Wait when did he become My
Liam? I hope he doesn't mind I called him my boyfriend.
'Does that apply to myself
also?' He asks in his no nonsense clipped tone. The salesman and
the two women stare at him in shock but the salesman recovers
quickly, brushing past me to get to Liam. He still hasn't figured
it out yet. What an idiot! Why would he think you were with that
god of a man my mind taunts.
'Mr Coltan, what a pleasure. My
name is Harold, how can i assist you today?' Wow someone can smell
money, I wonder how he knows Liam?
'Alexis sweetheart.' He holds
out his hand to me and I oblige without hesitation, grateful for
the comfort his touch will give me.
'Now Henry, if you are quite
sure you have nothing that would suit her, I must say I am deeply
disappointed.' I know he knows his name is Harold and I also know
that his is well aware that was not what Harold was implying.
However I am surprised to realize he heard all of that, although I
hide it well, unlike the man before us who looks like he is going
to be physically sick any minute.
'Alexis shall we?' He gestures
towards the door, smugly.
'Mr Coltan I think maybe I could
find something for Miss Alexis, come to think about it.....'
'I thought you had nothing to
her taste or was that not in fact what you were implying?' He cut
him off, hmm he is sexy when rattled and not at me. I press my body
closer to his.
'Sir you must please understand,
you see.' He clears his throat again, I am going to guess its a
nervous thing as he keeps doing it.
