How can he just sit so comfortably with me and talk with that stupid smile on his face? You're supposed to smile at me like that not my cousin you jerk.
"You're jealous?" Chloé suddenly appeared out of nowhere and whispered in my ears. Startled I backed away, "why would I be jealous," she smirked and turned to look at Liam and Jun who were sitting on the couch laughing together. "First it was Kuals now it's our cousin, you have a tough challenge, my brother." She patted my shoulder and walked away.
What does Chloé know, Liam likes me! Not Kuals or Jun, he only likes me! I took a deep breath and walked to the living room where they were sitting. "Here's your drink Jun," I said handing the glass of soda forcing a smile. "So what are you guys talking about?" I asked sitting down, "Oh, we were talking about how we should all hang out tonight. You know with your friends." Jun replied, "Tonight?" He smiled and nodded. "How about tomorrow, you must be tired from the flight." I said, "It's okay, I fly private so I'm not tired." He said looking at Liam like he was trying to hint that he was rich.
Too bad he didn't know that Liam was a celebrity child so flying private isn't a huge thing for him. "You should call your girlfriend's Lucas, tonight is going to be fun!" He rejoiced. God, I wish Mom and Dad didn't go out with his parents.
A few minutes later after forcing me to call the girls Jun and Liam were in the game room getting things ready. I don't know why Liam was on bored with everything Jun was saying but I hated it. I hated the fact that he was being so nice to my cousin, I mean do you like me or my cousin? Make up your mind!
Seconds later the doorbell rang, "Here we go." I sighed as I went to open the door. When I opened the door, Helena, Charlotte, Evelyn, and…Kuals were standing there with bags in their hands. "You look bummed, I thought we're supposed to be having fun." Helena pointed out. "Come in, the part person is waiting for you," I told them stepping out of their way. When they all walked in I closed the door behind me and led them down to the gaming room.
Once Jun saw us he got up rejoicing, "Hey guys!" He greeted them. They waved back at him, "You're also here Liam" Kuals said, Liam smiled and nodded. "Hi, my name is Jun, nice to meet you guys." He introduced himself, "Nice to meet you June." Helena said.
A few minutes later they all got used to Jun. Now like his their new best friend, I loved that he didn't feel outcasted but, I hated that he was all over Liam. Not only was he doing that, but Kuals also joined in the touching. It's like they were trying to compete for him.
"Must suck to see those two all over Liam." Evelyn said sitting down next to me "I couldn't care less, he looks like his enjoying it." I said taking a sip of my drink, "So you're just going to pretend you don't care?" "I and Liam have already talked it out, if that's what he wants then it's what he he wants." "I'm not going to tell him not to look at any guy but, it's also not hard to look at me. He is looking at Jun and Kuals but not me." "His supposed to like me, only me and nobody else," I replied.
Evelyn stayed quiet for a second and patted my shoulder. I looked at her and got up to go back upstairs. I couldn't stand the sight of the guy I liked being surrounded by my cousin and Kuals.
As I retreated upstairs, I couldn't help but feel a mix of frustration and insecurity. My mind raced with thoughts about Liam's interactions with Jun and Kuals. I needed some time to clear my head and figure out what was going on. Was it possible that Liam's intentions were genuinely innocent, and my jealousy was clouding my judgment?
I decided to take a moment to myself in my room. I flopped down on my bed, staring at the ceiling as I thought about everything that had happened. Maybe Chloe was right, and my feelings of jealousy were indeed causing unnecessary drama. It wasn't fair to burden Liam with these emotions if he was just trying to be friendly with my cousin and friends.
After a few minutes, I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door. It was Liam, I sighed leaving the door open and going back to my bed. "Why are you here alone?" He asked closing the door. "I'm tired and I want to sleep." I said, "Are you angry at me?" He asked sitting next to me.
"Of course I'm not, I'm angry at myself. I can't stand it anymore, I say I like you but at the same time, I push you away and tell you to wait for me. But then again I hate it when you're so close with Kuals or any other guy,". "Especially when that other guy is my cousin." I blurted out. He gently reached out for my hands and tilted my head facing him. "I'm sorry for making you feel this way." He said. Stupid, you didn't do anything wrong so why are you saying sorry?
Liam's sincerity touched my heart, and I realized that he genuinely cared about my feelings. I looked into his eyes and said, "Liam, it's not your fault. I appreciate your understanding, but I need to work on my insecurities and trust you more. I don't want to push you away or make you feel guilty."
He smiled softly, his thumb gently brushing a tear from my cheek. "Don't be silly, you're not pushing me away. All you're doing right now is pulling me in closer."Liam's words melted away the remaining tension within me, and I couldn't help but smile. His kindness and patience were clear indicators of his affection. We leaned in, our lips meeting in a soft and reassuring kiss. The kiss lingered, filled with warmth and understanding.
As we pulled away, Liam whispered, "We shouldn't do this if we're not a couple." "Huh?" I looked up at him confused, "Remember you said you don't want to be doing anything in secret before everyone knows about you." He smiled, like why does he have to remember that now? I already getting into it!
I sighed, my heart aching with understanding. He was right, we had agreed not to keep our relationship a secret, and here we were, caught up in a passionate moment in my bedroom while our friends were downstairs.
