Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: A Family?

Liam's pov

"Is this your house?"

I heard Destiny's amused voice. I looked at her, she was in shock. I replied 'yes' and got out of the car. I moved towards Destiny side and opened the door. She was still looking at the house in shock. She looked at me and got out of the car. She moved forward and let out a cute squeak. She turned towards me in happiness and said.

"This is beautiful Liam. It's so beautiful. I had always seen these type of mansion outside. I really wanted to see this in my life. Can we go inside I am dying to see this" I chuckled at her behavior. She was literally controlling herself not to jump. I can see her feet keep bouncing in excitement. To tease her I started walking in slow steps.

"You tortoise, I know you are doing this on purpose. So....." she said and grabbed my hand and pulled me with her. We were jogging to the door now. When we reached the door, I left her hand and opened the door with the key. We went inside, she looked around admiring the place.

"Wow" she said still looking.

"Thank you. I think you like it" I asked her. She looked at me and said "No I don't like it. I just freaking love it" she said and moved towards the fireplace in the living room. She placed her hand near the fire and then pressed her hand on the cheek. I went and sat on the couch. I called one of the maids, she came.

"I have bags in my car, take them to my room. Take few of them with you" I ordered her. She called two other maids and they went out. Destiny came and sat on the couch.

"When did you buy this?" she asked.

"I took this place years back when I earned my own money. I just started to live here a few months back" she looked at me shock.

"You mean you bought this place and built it with your own money" she asked. I nodded my head.

"Damn when did you even started earning, this freaking cost fortune" she asked in curiosity.

"When I completed high school, my father gave me a part of his company to me. So along with the studies, I took care of the company. Since I was eighteen I am earning on my own" I said.

"Wow, you took responsibility at young age" she said. "Now come on, we will have dinner and then we will sleep. Tomorrow we have many things to do" I said to her and went to kitchen to reheat the food.

We ate silently, she was looking at the kitchen in admiration. I can see the excitement in her eyes. After we ate I took her to one of the guest room on second story. Which is next to my room. I opened the room and allowed her to go inside.

"You will stay here, I will wake you up tomorrow. Good night princess" I said to her looking into her eyes.

"Good night" she replied. I closed the door and went to my room. I saw that every bag were gone. I went to my closet and saw it was already placed neatly.

I made a call to my parents about the dinner we have talked about. Then I went to bathroom and took a shower. After few minutes, I came back with sweatpants and T-shirt. As I sat on the bed, I saw a bag along with shopping bag near the bed. I picked up and looked inside to see the dress I bought for Destiny when I made her wait as I excused to restroom. I will give it to her tomorrow. I placed the bag on the night stand. I think the other bag must be Destiny's, her night dress must be here and she need this.

I took it and went towards her room. I just entered her room saying "Sorry your bag was.... " my words got stuck in my throat looking at the sight infront of me. Destiny was standing there nothing but in a towel. My eyes widened and my jaw hit the ground. My eyes went from her wet hair, face and to her exposed shoulders, the towel was reaching just above her mid thighs. Her eyes were wide and she was holding the towel with her hand to stop it from falling. Suddenly she screamed, covering her body.

"LIAM, DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO KNOCK. And stop staring at me" I came back to my senses and turned around immediately and said " I am so sorry. I just came to give your bag, it was in my room" I said hurriedly, blushing. I placed the bag on the floor and dashed out closing her door.

I quickly went to my room and went inside the bathroom. I splashed the water on my face to cool down my flushed face.

"Liam you didn't see anything, calm down" I said to myself. My body was becoming hot. And I feel a weird sensation throughout my body imagining her. Damn it, I just took a shower. And now I had to take a cold shower now. I quickly stripped my clothes and went to shower again.

I came out and changed into sweats. I went straight to my bed. But sleep was no where near, my mind flashed with her body covered with towel. I tossed and turned till two in the morning and sleep finally came.

I woke up to my alarm. I looked at the clock, it's eight in the morning. I put the alarm late as I slept late because of a person next to mine room. I got up from the bed and went to bathroom to brush my teeth.

After few minutes, I made my way towards the kitchen putting on a T-shirt. I saw Melissa cooking something. I went to her and kissed her cheek.

"Good morning" I said smiling at her. She turned towards and smiled.

"Good morning dear" she greeted and made a plate for me.

"Can you make another plate" I asked her taking my plate and made my way towards dining table. She looked at me confused but started plating.

"Why do you want another plate, I have already plated yours" she asked and bought the plate towards dining table.

"Well it's not for me, it's for Destiny. I have to wake her up" I said stuffing the food into my mouth. I looked up to see Mellisa looking at me in confusion.

"You mean the girl I met in your office".

I swallowed the food and nod at her.

"That's great, I will go and wake her up. I want to see her" she was beaming. She turned around to go. But I called her name. She came towards me.

"I hope you remember about the surprise I said" she nod her head "They are coming for dinner tonight. They will accept my surprise right" I asked her with assuring. She lifted her hand up and caressed my hair.

"As far as I know them, they will agree okay. Now eat your breakfast" she said.

"Okay. But I will be cooking for them tonight. You know try to impress my parents as well as a girl" I said to her smiling sweetly. She laughed at me.

"Sure you do. I will come back soon" she said and moved out of the kitchen.

I ate my breakfast and went to the living room. As I sat on the couch as the door bell rang. I got up and went to open the door. I opened the door and saw a man with few workers behind him carrying the items. I looked at the man.

"Mr. Collins, Miss Jones the designer has sent us to start our work early" he said.

"Okay you can start your work, I will show you the room" I said and started walking towards the room I wanted to complete. Miss Jones is the one who designed my home.

We entered the room, they started to drop the items and went out. I think they will bring other stuffs. I turned towards the man who was examining the room.

"When will it be complete, I want it done by today afternoon by three" I said keeping my hands in the pocket. He turned towards me and said.

"Absolutely sir, we will complete it as soon as possible" he said and workers came with other items. I just stood there seeing them working.

After half an hour, I was talking to the man about the work when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw Destiny standing there. I dismissed the man and turned towards her completely.

"Finally you are awake. I thought Melissa didn't came to your room"I checked her outfit asking her, she was wearing a jean with half sleeves shirt which was tugged inside her jeans. I looked up to see her face slightly flushed. She knew I was checking her out.

"Yeah, she came. She was happy seeing me here" she said looking around the room.

"Did you have your breakfast"

"Yeah, I had. Sorry I came here late, I was talking to Melissa and forgot about you" she said looking embarrassed. I placed my hand on the heart and fake groaned in pain.

"Wow, it really hurt. You stay in my house and you forget about me. That's mean" I said pouting at the last word. She rolled her eyes chuckling and smashed lightly on my arm. I chuckled with her too.

"So what to do now" she asked looking the the work.

"Nothing, just to see how they are doing. But you have to help me with cooking. I said Melissa to go home after her morning work" I said.

"It's okay I guess. But till then can you show me around. Yesterday night we didn't have time" she asked.

"Come on" I said and starting showing around. She jumped up in excitement when she saw the theater and game room. She loved the backyard. Then I showed her upstairs. She totally loved it. It will be prefect when she lives here. I will make that come true.

Until two thirty, we talked and helped some workers. The room was completed faster than I thought. They left after that. We were arranging the items we shopped yesterday.

"How can they make this plain room, into this beautiful room in short amount of time" she asked.

"Money, I guess" I shrugged at her. She shook her head smiling at my answer. We completed it and stood by the door looking at the work.

"Wow" she whispered.

"I think it's complete, now to the cooking" I said and started moving towards kitchen with Destiny beside me.

"So what are you making" she asked.

"Chicken fried steak, spaghetti with meatballs, onion soup and a dessert" I said to her and went to refrigerator to take the items I need. I didn't here a response, I looked at her. Her mouth was wide open. I called her name. She came out of daze and said.

"You are making all of that" I nod my head "I mean how did you learn on your own, I have been trying to learn cooking for years. I just learnt only basic just to fill my stomach" I chuckled at her.

"That's a secret about how I learnt princess, but I can show you one of my secret" I winked at her and started cooking. She helped me with cutting vegetables, throughout the cooking she looked at me in admiration. She asked few questions about it.

After that she said washing her hands "I should get going now, your parents will be here soon" she wiped her hands with the towel.

"Not yet. Come with me" I said to her and took her hand, went to my room where I have kept her dress. I left her hand, took the bag and gave to her. She looked at me confused and lifted the dress from the bag. I rubbed my hand on my neck and said.

"This is a gift from me. I know I didn't say it earlier, but I want you to join the dinner with me. I already told my parents about you coming".

"But why would you tell them about me coming" she asked.

Before I say anything stupid I took her hand and bought her to her guest room she stayed. I left her hand and said.

"You can get ready in here, I will explain after the dinner. Okay" I said and dashed out closing the door. I went towards my room and started getting ready.
