She closed her eyes but the tears refused to subside. Her phone vibrated on her chest. She knew who it was without looking.
" Hey."
She was crying and he wanted to kill something. Who had hurt her? She was home, wasn't she?
" Tell me what's wrong baby, please"
Giselle sniffed once before the entire sad tale spilled from her lips. She was so embarrassed, she finally found the man of her dreams only to be facing this shit. He was used to starlets and super models how could she ever measure up?
" Giselle Lee!," he growled with menace,
" if you don't start talking right now, I'm coming over there to ask someone else!"
" Don't be yelling at me, you big bully! My stupid family don't think you're Chinese enough for me, there I said it," she snapped in torment.
He smiled, loving her fire, this little minx had no fear of him and he loved it.
" Baby, just don't cry, we'll figure it out, I'll come talk to your family just...don't cry."
Giselle's heart fluttered to life and her spine straightened with her resolve.
" Thank you, Liam. I've never had anyone but Janine have my back before."
" Your back, your front, both sides..." He stopped when her fairy like laughter rang in his ear.
" Incorrigible wretch, "she teased.
" There's my baby, no crying, Alexander's don't cry, we get even."
" Alexander's?"
" You heard me."
Giselle felt something flutter within her and sighed.
" How can you be so sure of me, of this, us?"
How do you tell the woman of your heart why she is the woman of your heart? Would she freak out when she found out what he was?
" Tell me, Alexander," she ordered sternly.
" I will baby but not on the phone, we'll talk tomorrow I promise."
" Ok. I'm uh very glad you called, Liam..thank you."
" Always angel. Get some sleep, we'll talk tomorrow, figure everything out, I swear."
