"Doll !! we don't do it like this, give it to me. I will show you", Daniel snatched the bowl from Scarlett's hand and kneaded the dough. He was very good at cooking and Scarlett was impressed. They were preparing special Italian pizza with a wheat base which is not unhealthy for the stomach.
Liam walked into the kitchen and saw the duo giggling and preparing lunch. His blood boiled seeing a happy Scarlett hopping around Daniel. He gritted his teeth in anger and picked an apron.
He marched towards the duo and declared
"I will also cook"
"Have you ever even touched a knife?", Daniel mocked a bit...
"No. So what today I will touch it"
Scarlett was also bewildered by this sudden step taken by Liam. She handed him some vegetables and asked him to chop them.
Liam held the knife and started cutting the vegetables. But being a noob cook it was difficult for him to slice them.
Forget cutting vegetables he had never entered the kitchen before. In order to impress Scarlett, he was taking all these steps. He himself didn't know why he was doing this. He should be angry with her because the other day she said that he shouts at her and now she is even spending time with other men and not even glancing at Liam.
*Did our story end before starting?*, Liam thought to himself after seeing the bubbly duo.
*I am more handsome than him*, he confronted himself and mentally felt proud...
But then he clenched his jaw when Daniel whispered something in Scarlett's ears and she blushed crimson red.
He started cutting the vegetables furiously and in the course cut his finger.
"Ouch!!", Liam screamed.
"What happened? Bro you cut yourself", Daniel said worriedly.
Scarlett quickly held Liam's fingers and brought them under running water to stop the blood flow...Then she ran and brought a first aid box to aid his wounds.
When she applied some ointment to his wounds, they all went numb on seeing the reaction. The wound was completely healed and there was no cut.
"There was a cut here", Liam looked shocked.
Scarlett nodded and stared at his finger perplexed.
She looked at both the palms carefully, then the back of the palm. But it was all clean...
"Huh!! How is this possible?", Daniel looked surprised...
After that incident, they all were dumbfounded because no one knew how did this happen.
Earlier when Scarlett had seen Liam's bleeding finger she felt a sudden pain in her heart. His wounded finger was unbearable. Somewhere she blamed herself for wounding his hand.
In reality, Scarlett's touch made the wound heal quickly.
*Soulmate energy helps to cure illness and heals wounds*
Later that day someone rang the bell. Liam walked towards the door and opened it. His face turned into a frown on seeing the visitors...They were his mom and dad.
"Why are you here?", he asked coldly.
"To meet our beloved son", his mother replied.
"But I don't want you in my house", he coldly stated.
"Behave", his father warned.
Liam rolled his eyes and went from there.
"Oh wow uncle and aunt", Daniel came running and they engulfed him in a hug.
Scarlett stood there clueless.
"Who is she?", they asked.
"She is Scarlett. Liam's tenant", Daniel said.
"Hello", the older woman extended her hand.
Scarlett did a handshake with her.
"So how old are you", she asked.
Before Scarlett could explain in her language Daniel told them that she was mute...Scarlett and Daniel were serving some snacks to The older couple. Whereas Liam was sitting in his room alone.
Liam's pov
Just when I was happy in my life, away from these devilish people they barged in to make it hell. I will not let them stay in my house, I decided.
I went downstairs and saw them sipping some tea.
Author's pov
"Get out from my house", Liam shouted.
"Behave yourself, Liam, we didn't give birth to you to see this day", his father shouted.
"It was better not be born ", he said straight.
A tight slap landed on his face, making his face turn the other way.
Liam looked at his parents with red fierce eyes and ran away from the house.
"Liam waits", Daniel ran after him.
Scarlett was disturbed watching this drama. She felt bad for Liam because his mother hit him but then she knew that Liam shouldn't have mistalked to his parents.
The older duo packed their bags and left the house in anger. Scarlett tried to stop them but all in vain.
Daniel was unable to catch Liam, he had already left with his bike.
He came inside and looked at a worried Scarlett.
"You don't worry, he will be fine", he said.
Scarlett felt a sudden twitch in her body. She wanted to see her soulmate and comfort him. She wasn't able to bear a miserable Liam. It was the first time she felt that connection with him. She could feel his pain somewhere and she knew she has to do something to relieve him.
She waited for him to return back but he didn't. It was half-past 12 but he was nowhere in sight.
After about 15 minutes Scarlett heard a bike approaching.
She dashed to the door and opened it to find Liam's downcasted face. He looked gloomy, eyes were red and teary. It was clear he had been crying.
Liam walked past Scarlett but she followed him.
"Why are you coming after me?", Liam asked furiously.
*I want to talk to you*, she signed.
"But I don't want to talk to you. Get lost", he shouted.
She was adamant this time and she bugged him.
"What's your problem? Why don't you leave me alone? I don't need anyone. I know you all hate me", he stated in a disheartened voice.
Scarlett held his hand and then signed *I don't hate you*.
"Tsk Tsk.Huh!! I know you do. Now go from here...I don't need your sympathy. I am fine", he pushed her away.
Scarlett again came and stood in front of him more determined than before.
"Why are you bugging me?", he asked frustrated.
Scarlett held her ears this time and gestured a *sorry*.
"I don't need your sorry. Now get lost",
A stubborn boy not ready to forgive her at any cost. But Scarlett decided to be more stubborn this time...
She kept on bugging him until Liam stormed into the bathroom to take a bath.
After 15 minutes he was out with his PJs and shirt on, water dripping from his hair. He looked breathtakingly hot, Scarlett couldn't take her innocent eyes off but then she quickly lowered her gaze. Liam noticed what effect he did on her and then he slowly marched towards her. Scarlett took some steps back until her back hit the wall.
Liam smirked and then looked at Scarlett, she bit her lower lip because she was nervous, she was redder than a tomato, she gulped hard and kept her gaze low.
"You want me to forgive you?", Liam asked with a smirk.
Scarlett just glanced at him for a second and then nodded in a * yes*...
"I will forgive you on one condition. But you have to agree beforehand," Scarlett didn't think much and agreed to him.
She was determined to be forgiven by Liam, she wanted to share his pain.
"Oh Agreed without thinking, nice"
"So, silly girl...You have to kiss me right now", Liam said seductively...
Scarlett's eyes widened and she quickly nodded her head in *No*.
"Okay then, I won't forgive you. You may leave", Liam said and gestured to her to exit...
Scarlett looked at him for a second and then her eyes pooled with tears. She had never before kissed a guy, forget kissing she had never held hands with any guy. Liam was her first in everything. This sudden order from Liam scared her and now she felt helpless. She wanted to share his pain and she was determined. She didn't want to leave him alone because she knew he will be depressed by himself but kissing him was totally out of the league...
The only option the poor girl had was to cry. She somewhere loathed him for making such a request which was difficult for the innocent Scarlett.
If it would have been any other girl, she would have immediately agreed to him. Why not? After all, Liam was so handsome, who would not like to get intimate with him. But Scarlett was just too pure for this side of the world. She had maximum dreamt about the prince of her dreams who would come on a horse and take her away ...Too childish but cute just like her...
Liam looked at her in confusion. He hadn't harassed her that she started crying.
"Why are you crying?", Liam asked ...
Scarlett sobbed and then looked at him...
"Crybaby. You are such a pain in the ass...", he muttered...
Scarlett wasted no minute and wrapped her arms around him. The only option to soothe his pain was not letting go. She couldn't express herself in words but she did it in actions ...bcoz ...
*Actions speak louder than words*.
Liam was surprised, he tried to push her away...But the more he tried, her hold got tighter around him and he gave up...
He carefully wrapped his arms around her making her secure and safe...They fit perfectly in each other's embrace...
Liam planted a soft kiss on her hair which was unnoticed by Scarlett...
After 5 minutes they broke the hug and looked at each other...
Scarlett had already stopped crying and now her eyes were empty but sincere...
*You can tell me anything you want. You can share your pain with me.* Scarlett signed...
Liam was amused by what she said. Never in his life had anyone said those words to him. He always drank all the pain by himself...His heart told him to trust her. She was the one for him...
"Thanks", he said...
Scarlett smiled and then signed *I am sorry*...
"It's okay", Liam smiled and pinched her cute nose...
"Let's eat something, I am hungry", Liam said and both of them went to prepare some meal...
Daniel took his leave that night. Scarlett and Liam were again alone but this time their inner selves held butterflies for each other. And they felt at home together...
