"It's a long story."
"I want to a hear it." It wasn't that she hated knowing, she just found it difficult to start the topics involving those questions.
"Maybe another day."
Another day would never work as she would never start the topic again. So, "How can you go on about sharing secrets but can't share yourself?"
He smiled and walked towards the couch and sat. "My mother sold me due to my embarrassing condition," he laughed a bit, betraying the sad look in his eyes, "Happy now?"
"That wasn't a long story."
"Let's talk more later, I'm hungry."
Liam stood and left the room, just in time to hide the tears that fell from his eyes, or so he thought. He felt his arm being yanked backwards and he fell right into her arms.
Valeria couldn't miss the slight tremor in his voice earlier and had to check. She had made a grown man cry! Her hand lifted his chin and she frowned.
Now that she was this close, she could see his features better. It was obvious since their first meeting that Liam was good-looking. However, he could not be described as handsome but a bit more on beautiful could be said.
His chocolate brown hair was not too short and a bit messy. Few strands stuck to his forehead and almost got to his long cute lashes that were longer than her own. Those lashes fluttered beautifully adding elegance to his enchanting green eyes.
Tears now covered his face, making his cheeks flushed and totally cute. He was also biting his lower lip and his whole face made her pause dramatically.
"How... How can someone be so beautiful?" She voiced out making him frown a bit before he moved away. She immediately felt some kind of longing and frowned. What? She had just met this man the day before, she couldn't let herself be carried away.
"Are you serious?" He asked, more tears falling from his eyes. Seriously, how much tears did he have? However, his tears went straight into her heart. She panicked, a bit too much.
"Listen," she pulled him back into the room and shut the door. She was well aware of her family's interest in her life. She just hoped she wasn't too late in doing that. "I'm sorry for bringing up your past, mmh."
The tears didn't stop. His eyes focused on nothing in particular in the direction of the bed and his tears fell silently. He also didn't know why he was crying so much. It was his first time crying like this and more so in front of a woman! His tears were practically falling endlessly on their own.
Valeria sighed. This man. She could just leave him there but something in her didn't allow it. "Stop crying then," she said as she looked at the unique beauty who, despite his beautiful looks, didn't look like a girl at all. It was weird and sounded impossible but that's what she was looking at.
Liam wiped his tears but more fell. It was humiliating! Especially because he was pinned to the door! "Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself," he said and attempted to get away but she held him in place.
His voice was shrill and his face disheveled, not to mention the crying noises he made. How could she just let him be? "Why won't you stop crying? Is your past that bad?" She asked.
"I don't know why I'm crying this much either. I just feel like crying, especially when I look at you!" He blamed her. She hated to admit it, but every single action of his drew her closer to him. He was just too perfect!
Her eyes fell to his lips, they were trembling and she struggled to stay rational. However, her thoughts betrayed her. He was her husband, right?
She lowered herself and captured his lips smoothly. He didn't push her away, encouraging her to take another step forward. She sucked, licked and bit untill she forced her tongue into his mouth. However, he finally pushed her away before she could do anything else.
He had finally stopped crying but now, he was angry. "You! Why did you do that?" His eyes narrowed angrily.
"What, it's my right as your legal wife!" Her words made him chuckle angrily.
"You're impossible!" He pushed her and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door. He couldn't believe her! So it was okay to make him cry and then kiss him? Claiming it was her right as his wife?
To be honest, Valeria didn't understand her actions either. That's why she immediately felt guilty when he slammed the door. She rubbed her nose and wondered why her lazy self did so much in a few hours.
'Maybe I should make it up? But how?'. Before she could think further, Liam came out. It seemed that he had washed his face. He didn't spare her a glance and wanted to walk out.
"Let's go out for lunch," she didn't know where this idea came from, or if it was a way of fixing things.
Liam looked at her, his eyes were expressionless but as enchanting as ever. "Okay, but I won't forget this," he claimed as his long lashes fluttered magically.
Valeria smiled. She didn't know if it was due to his looks or because he accepted her request. Maybe it was both.
