"You kissed me"

"And?"

"What does it mean?"

Liam sipped his coffee as I trailed behind him as we entered the hospital elevator.

I've been pestering him all night and he still shrugs it off like it was nothing. Hell no, nobody kisses that good if it didn't mean anything.

"It means marry me" he smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth. His eyes closed slightly and I couldn't stop being a pervert and just gawk at this beautiful creature in front of me.

"I love you" I blurt.

His expression doesn't change and instead he shrugs before taking another sip.

Clearly Liam doesn't give single shit because me confessing to him doesn't bring about any change to his attitude. Not that it was a confession or anything..

"Clearly you weren't fazed by that" I said rolling my eyes.

He smirks "I get it all the time"

Cocky much?

The elevator doors opened and Liam walked out with me tiptoeing behind him.

"Quit following me" he hisses with a hint of amusement in his voice.

My jaw drops. "Wh-what? Following? You? Remember your grandfather wanted to see me not you"

I quickly get ahead of him and flip my hair in a dramatic momento.

In all truthiness I was petrified when he did. The last time I was here I left him with a potential heart attack and I didn't think he'd want to see me again.

We reached his room and I took in a deep breath. Liam being the gentlemen he is, shoves me in with a evil laugh.

I stumble into the room and come face to face with his grandfather who had the 'I've been expecting you' expression.

Oh Jesus, I need to stay calm.

"Adeline" grandfather loudly acknowledges.

I smile. "M-Mr.Saevatore"

"It's been a while" he said, clearing his throat.

"Yes sir"

There was a long awkward silence and Liam wasn't making it any better as he sips on his coffee like it was none of his business.

"The last time you were here, it didn't end well" he said bringing back unwanted memories "however, I wish to resolve it"

I awkwardly nodded.

"You and Liam will be getting married" he announces "you can't end a marriage over a petty argument"

Ouch ever heard of being nice?

I opened my mouth to speak but Mr.Saevatore held his finger up to shut me up.

"I don't believe I have long to go therefore the marriage has been brought forward- everything is sorted except your dress which you shall go and see tomorrow. You will be getting married at the end of the week"

I gulped hard as I processed all that information. Wedding-forward..- end of the week- what?!

"But-" both Liam and I protest at the same time.

"It's too short notice" Liam insisted and I nodded my head in a raging manner. If I shake it any harder it might break off- but it might not be that bad since I'm being forced to marry this jerk in a week!

Grandfather's expression turned irritated and oh boy he did not look like the listening type.

"I can assure you my grandson, it is not too short notice" Mr.Saevatore hit back at Liam who couldn't argue back.

I slapped Liam's chest lightly. He's completely incompetence in any damn situation.

"Mr.Saevatore you cannot force me to marry your grandson like this" I say, raising my voice slightly.

Mr.Sae laughed drily.

"And you my dear are in no position to disagree" he states.

I stare at him confused and he smiles at this.

"Firstly, that house of yours is owned by my company and surely you wouldn't want to lose the house that contains all your memories right? Secondly, I employ Adrian Halton at this company and I am also an investor in his café. Bear this all in your mind before you say no"

My mouth slightly fell open. Not only did this man practically own everything I have but he also owns the people I have, Adrian.

He was blacking mailing me into this marriage.

I took in a deep breath. I thought about everything for a moment. My house, The cafe and Adrian. Everything would be taken away from me. How could I lose it all?

"Grandfather we will be leaving" Liam announces and swiftly pulls me out.

"Do not forget to go see dresses tomorrow!" He yells behind us.

"You are so useless" I utter and Liam drops his hand from around my waist.

"I've been called a lot of things but useless? That's a first" he grunts with sass in his voice. We walk towards the car and I stumble in.

"I'm surprised" I say sarcastically rolling my eyes whilst he throws daggers.

"don't sass me" he warns in a threatening manner but I could see the amusing smile tugging on his lips.

"Wow I guess blackmail runs in the family" I said.

Liam chuckles "I guess"

The silent filled the air and the music quietly played in the background. Everything was so confusing right now. That man, Liam's kiss and Mr.Saevatores blackmail all at once.

I'm about to get married in a week, I'm only 19, still in college and I'm working part-time in a cafe. The whole situation is a lot worse when my 'fiancee' is 23 year old business man who is really rich but has a bad attitude. He's also awfully calm about this whole marriage deal. Did I mention this was supposed to be all 'fake'?

Liam's phone rang and I curiously eavesdropped hearing the voice of a female. He laughed and joked around and showed a side I haven't seen before. I couldn't help but feel jealousy at the pits of my stomach.

It made me wonder. Liam is a Greek God kicked out of heaven for being too good-looking and there are bound to be hundreds of girls swarming around him even after our 'marriage'.

"Do you promise to be Faithful?" I suddenly ask, looking directly at him.

Liam raised his eyebrow but kept his eyes on the road. "always"

I bit my lip and couldn't help but smile.

I'm selfish but for some reason, the sound of Liam being all mine made me happy.

Oh here comes the palpitations.

"I'm still going to strip clubs though" Liam slides in the comment causing me to snap my head towards him.

"You what now?" I question, making sure my hearing was bad and I actually didn't hear what he actually just said.

A smirk play on his lips as they curve into a devilicious smile. He ran his fingers through his hair and pushed it back revealing his hairline. My palpitations are getting worse these days.

"I said" he began "I'm still going to strip clubs"

I snort in disbelief.

"That's practically being unfaithful" I state, annoyed. Why does he need to go to a strip club when his got me wearing a hoody and sweatpants? Like that's hotter than any naked body.

Liam laughs. "My eyes will be observing females so technically its not cheating"

I shook my head and refused to believe his excuses. "if you go to the strip club, I'll divorce you"

Liam erupted into a fit of laughters.

A grin appeared on my face as I saw his face lit up with amusement. I couldn't help but stare at his perfection.

The way he laughed made my heart beat faster. The way he smiled, spoke- even thought half of the time he's rude and sassy I still loved the moments he'd actually be nice.

My emotions began to cloud my mind and I could feel the palpitations were back. I really need to get this checked

"jealous?" he asks, rubbing his chin and side glancing at me.

I gulped. The sudden realisation hit me, hard. It wasn't palpitations..it was my heart falling for him.

I wasn't having heart problems like I thought- I was falling harder and deeper.

Oh God, I'm in love with Liam Saevatore.

At least it wasn't palpitations because phew for a moment there i thought I was dying- Jesus Adeline, you have more serious things to worry about like..I don't know-

YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH LIAM! THE MAN YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH!

"Don't tell me you've fallen for me" Liam teases, catching me off guard as I panicked and thought he had read my mind.

His eyes bore into my soul every few seconds and I silently whimpered like a puppy at this adorable piece of shit that I was in love with.

I shook my head removing all my thoughts. I stopped gawking at him and straightened my posture.

I took a deep breath and smiled before opening my mouth to speak.

"Nah"
