opportunity to pull him aside without alarming Lex.
'Don't go anywhere, it could end
badly and we may need a quick escape.' I chuckle to disguise my
nerves. Hell I don't get nervous.
'Sir.' He nods giving me a
knowing smile.
I go around to open her door
myself and can't help but check her out again, she looks amazing. I
can't get over it, she always looks beautiful but when I saw her
tonight I was lost for words. I just wanted to stay home and make
love to her over and over again. Ignore this dinner and keep her
all to myself.
'Liam.' She says with her
eyebrow raised and a smirk playing on her lips, I realize I am
staring like a creep again.
'If at any time you feel you
want to leave all you have to do is say. Dem will be right outside
waiting for us.' I inform her and she nods in response looking as
nervous as I feel as I take her hand and lead the way.
I kiss her forehead and knock on
the door not releasing her hand as we wait.
'Liam darling, do come in.' My
Mother greets, ignoring the beauty beside me.
'Mother.' I kiss her cheek but
don't embrace her. 'This is my girlfriend Alexis Cross.' I say
pulling Lexi forward to my side proudly. Lexi holds her delicate
little hand out and my Mother shakes it.
'Alexis, How nice to meet you.'
Lie, big fat lie. To anybody that doesn't know my Mother it looks
real enough but I know better.
'Likewise Mrs Coltan.'
Everything will be fine,
everything will be fine... I keep repeating to myself. I squeeze
her hand and run my thumb over her knuckles as I lead her to the
dining room. Just me, Lexi, Mother and Father what can go wrong
really.
I had to hope didn't I, I
couldn't just keep my mouth shut. Already seated at the table are
Mr & Mrs Reddington along with Melissa and my best friend Nate.
Joy oh fucking joy.
'So much for just us.' I mutter
as I shoot my Mother an icy glare to which she just smiles
sweetly.
'Dude!' Nate says clapping me on
the back. 'No wonder you didn't want the waitress.' He whispers so
only I can hear.
'Nathaniel.' He says to Lexi as
he captures her hand and kisses it. 'But you Pretty Girl can call
me Nate.' She smiles at his cheesy line and I instantly feel
jealous.
'Alexis.' She replies sweetly
'But you may call me Lexi.' That pisses me off and I pull her
close,wrapping my arm around her waist possessively.
She snuggles into me not
understanding my motives but Nate does, he holds his hands up in
mock surrender as he backs away.
'Liam honey.' Melissa makes a
grab for me as I try and hide behind Lexi who seems to find it
amusing and looks to be stifling a laugh.
'Melissa.' I respond coolly as I
brush her off and replace my arm back around Lexi. She scowls and
turns to Lexi, oh please god don't upset her or I will be
pissed.
'Melissa Reddington.' She sticks
her hand out to Lex, her tone anything but friendly.
'I remember, we met the other
day.' She informs her sweetly, too sweetly, my girl has claws .
That is so hot, I can't help but smile into her hair to try and
hide my amusement.
'We have?' Melissa looks
confused for a minute then it dawns on her. 'You look so different
in your own clothes.' She remarks bitchily hoping to tear Lexi down
some.
'I should hope so.' My Lexi
replies her voice never changing from sweet and amused. God she is
perfect and Melissa does not look pleased, I thinks she is about to
blow.
'Should we take a seat?' I
interject before we are all covered in bits of Mellissa.
'Liam you're next to me.' She
smirks. 'Alexis you are next to Nathaniel.'
Like hell she is I silently
fume. Over my dead body. I go over to Nate and whisper in his ear
and he moves to the seat next to Melissa as I take the one next to
Lexi.
'Your now next to me.' I smile
and kiss her cheek innocently.
'Oh but what about poor
Melissa?' She whispers in my ear, smile innocently. The little
minx.
'I am sure she will cope.' I
whisper back and she giggles.
'I'm not.' I look at Melissa,
who is red with fury then at Nate who has a big shit eating grin on
his
