Destiny's p.o.v
I don't know what to say to make him stop crying. But I didn't, he should let out his emotions. Looks like he didn't cry for years. So I let him cry. I hugged him tightly and caressed his back. He just needed his parents love.
When he started to say about his parents, I could here the hurt in his voice. I think even Melissa gave the parent love, but she didn't understand him completely. He is lonely even he had supporters and caring people in his life. I am happy that my parents gave us the time and love we needed. Every child on this earth need their parents love.
He was still crying, and I shifted at the end of the couch and made Liam to sleep on it by placing his head my lap. He immediately hugged my stomach and cried silently. I caressed his hair and started to give a head massage to him. Soon he drifted off to sleep. His right side of the face was on my stomach with his arms around me. I wiped his face to remove the stains of tears. I moved my fingers in his hair.
I know Liam, he will forgive them easily. He is kind. He may look arrongent on the outside but he is a softy on inside. I just came to know now when he cried.
After few minutes, the balcony door opened and Alexis came in saying "What are you doing....." she stopped speaking when I slightly turned towards her and said her to be silent my keeping my finger on the lips. She looked confused, slowly she moved forward and saw Liam sleeping on my lap. Her mouth formed 'o' in realisation. She came and sat where Liam sat earlier.
"Why is he sleeping, and why do you have wet patch on your shoulder" she whispered. I turned and looked at my shoulder, sure there was a wet patch.
"Wait, don't tell me he cried" she asked in a concerned voice. I just nod my head. She was surprised to hear.
"I didn't know he would cry. I haven't seen him like this. What happened" Alexis voice was filled with worry. I think she always seen him cheerful, playing pranks with her, being arrogant. I looked down at his face and moved my fingers in his hair.
"I think he was just lonely, all the emotions he had pent up just came out. He started talking about his parents and started crying" I said and looked up at her. She was looking at him in concerned.
"He was always there for me when I needed something. He is like a brother to me. Even though he likes to prank me a lot, I adore him" she said and looked up at me "You might not believe me, since you started working here he had been more lively than I ever seen. He likes you" I looked at her shock. She must be joking.
"You are joking right!" I whispered to her. My heart was beating fast now.
"I am not" she shook her head "Before you came here, I haven't seen him interact with any woman neither standing next to any woman talking. Only with who he is concerned about he cares for them. Yet see him now hugging you and sleeping on your lap" hearing her I looked away. What do I do now.
"By looking at your face, I know you like him too. But something is holding you back. I will just say, give him a chance" she said. I looked at her slightly smiling replied "I am not sure that he likes me".
"It's okay Destiny, I know this idiot of my boss takes time to realize his feelings. Till then you have time too" I just simply nod her. She quickly took out her mobile and clicked pictures of him and me.
"What are you doing" I asked her in confuse.
"This will be in handy when I need it. Till then no word about me being here" I chuckled at her statement. Why did she come here in the first place.
"Why did you come here, did you have any work" I asked her. She shook her head and said "I just thought to annoy him, because of what he did yesterday. When I came here, you and him were missing. I was about to close the door but I saw you sitting here. So I came here to see what you were doing".
"We were working here, and then this happened" I said shrugging my shoulders slightly.
"It's okay, I will go now. Bye" I waved her a bye and sat there looking at his face.
I took the magazine from the table and started flipping the pages. I would move my fingers in his hair. I don't know why I am doing that. But it felt good. His hair were soft. Without my senses I placed a kiss on his forehead. He released a long breath in relief. I smiled at him.
After an hour he started shifting, he left me and faced straight up. His eyes were still closed. I tapped his shoulder and called "Liam wake up".
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at me in sleepy eyes. He smiled and said "You are really my Destiny, or am I dreaming". I ignored his words my destiny and said.
"I am real, for your information" hearing my voice his eyes widened and sat up immediately and looked around.
"Shit, I slept in office" he said running his fingers in his hair "What time is it now".
"It's already six thirty" I replied and stretched my legs a little. It was little numb because I haven't moved for a while.
"Damn, I have so much to do. I should call the designers and then go for shopping. It should be ready by tomorrow" he said hurriedly.
"Liam calm down. Now call and inform them and I will get my things and get ready. Then we will leave" I looked at the laptop and said "So, is this design okay".
"It's perfect. I will call them now" he said and picked up his mobile to call. I got up and went outside of his office. I started to pack my things, shut the laptop and cleared my desk. Liam came out at the same time and said "Ready to go". I nodded my head.
We both went into the elevator and reached his car. He started driving to the mall. He slightly glanced at me and said.
"Thank you for today, I didn't know I would break down" he said looking little embarrassed.
"It's okay but I will always be there for you" I said smiling at him. He smiled at me and drived.
He parked the car and we both got out of the car. He locked it and said "I have some list prepared to buy. I would have asked someone to buy this. But I just want to experience this".
I smiled slightly hiding from him. I stretched my hand forward. He raised his eyebrows in question.
"List you prepared" I asked him. He nodded his head and took out a paper from his coat and placed on my hand.
I opened it and looked over it. "Okay now follow me, I know the best shop where we can find this" I gestured my hand to follow me as I starting walking towards the store. He chuckled behind me and said.
"So are you bossy when it comes to shopping".
"Not really, I just said that because I know the place. This list is about the pictures and household items, I am good at this. But when it comes to clothes, Ava is always the boss" I said shrugging and stood infront of the shop.
"Shall we begin" I asked him. He replied "yes".
We both entered the shop and started looking at the things. The list contains six to seven items but we have to look for it. He wouldn't even look at the price, if he likes it then he buys that. What a billionaire life.
After going to four to five shops we found the items. What will be the surprise he has planned. If I would be there to see it.
"We completed the list. I had payed the bill, so these items will arrive tomorrow along with the workers" he said. I nod my head and started walking to the elevator but I was stopped when Liam held my wrist.
"Where are you going" he asked.
I looked at him confused. If we finish it, we should leave right. "We are going home right". He shook his head and said.
"I said about the list, I still have to do my clothes shopping. It's been a while I had gone to shopping, so let's go" then started to pull me towards the men's store. I groaned at him.
"Liam come on, it's late. Do you have to do it now" I said to him in annoyance.
"Yes. Now that I am here, I will complete it. I don't want to go on another day" he said and entered the shop 'Giorgio Armani'.
Woah it's the best place for men's clothes.
As he entered, the man came towards us and asked "Good evening Mr. Collins, what can I show you. Just today some new designs have arrived". Looks like he is the manager, because of the name tag on his shirt.
"Show it" Liam said in stern voice. Liam started walking following the manager, but I stood at my place. He was still holding my wrist. As I didn't move he felt a tug. He looked back and saw that he was holding my hand. He left it immediately and looked up at me.
"How does he know your name" I asked him. He only smirked at me, I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Well I am a billionaire, everyone knows me. And I visit this shop often" he said. I released a breath and move forward where the manager went. Let's get this done. I know men will choose their clothes quickly.
I totally disagree with the statement I said earlier. He is more picky than any woman. Damn he wants everything to be perfect. I am totally wasted now. He is still in the changing room, changing the clothes. Even though I got a good fashion show of Liam. This is tiring, he takes to much time. He came back and went again to the footwear section.
"You just wait here, I will go to the restroom really quick" he said to me and turned towards the man and said "Give her something to refresh, I will be back" he left.
I was sitting on the couch looking around. The man came with a cup of green tea. I took it and sat there drinking and looked at the magazine I found on the table. After few minutes Liam came back.
"I already paid the bill, let's go" I nod my head and followed him.
Where are the shopping bags, he is not carrying any single bags. I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw four men carrying a dozens of bags with each. My eyes widened seeing this. I quickly turned around followed Liam to the car.
The four men placed the bags in the car. We both got in and Liam started driving. I looked back to see only shopping bags.
"Did you buy the whole store. It's cost fortune to buy in that store. How did you buy all these" I asked him still in daze looking at the bags.
He smirked and took a glance at me and replied "I didn't buy the store but only clothes. And it didn't even cost me that much. Only couple of thousand dollars".
"Why did I even ask. You are billionaire" I puffed and crossed my arms. He chuckled at me. After forty five minutes we reached a big gate. Liam drove inside the gate towards a big mansion. My jaw was probably hitting the floor seeing the mansion in front of me. He parked the car in front of it.
"Is this your house?"
