"We spent some time apple picking at the orchids, and then decided to head out to the big city and just drive around.
"This is a change of things... you driving. Maybe you don't need me anymore" Liam says
"Im always gonna need you Liam" I say turning to him
He looks at me and answers "ill always be there for you then" and grabs my hand.
After driving around more for a bit, It starts to get late so I drive Liam home which was not too far from Manhattan. I park in front of his building and turn off the car.
"Why don't you come on in?" he asks
I look at the time and notice its getting late, but not wanting to decline his offer, I say
"Ok, but only for a bit, I need to get going soon. Work tomorrow-"
"Jeez I know, my boss is one old looking fierce woman who will fire me if i'm late" he says
I let out a laugh "HeY! I'm not old-"
I walk up the stairs following Liam into his bachelor apartment. When I walked in, I noticed how empty and minimal his apartment was. It was very bare with most of the furniture covered with white sheets which I found to be quite odd.
"I don't really have many things, I'm out working all the time anyway so I only sleep here and leave" he says walking into his kitchen
"Coffee?"" he asks
"Sure, just coffee and then Ill head on out" I say
I sit on a stool and watch him as he makes our coffee.
He changed into a fitted white tee with sweatpants. I admired his back that was faced towards me and took notice of how each muscle moved. I stopped drooling when he turns to face me handing over my coffee
"Thank you again for spending the day with me. I haven't had this much fun in a while" I say
"No, thank you Alex, for everything" he answers
"Especially for driving me, it's a nice change of scenery" he continues saying and chuckles
We drink our coffee and I bring my cup to the sink. I noticed there was absolutely nothing in his apartment.
No pictures of family, no notes, no accessories, nothing.
Only a couple pieces of furniture, a bed, a few clothes and that's it. He didn't ever have a TV... it was quite weird and strange. To me at least....
When I lived in my apartment before, when I was working at the hospital, I had little to nothing in my apartment. But I still had pictures of family, nature and just things that described me.
Liam's apartment gave no personality, no home feeling. It was like he was anonymous....
"I'll see you tomorrow fine sir" I say as he walkS me out the door
"I'll be there, wearing my chauffeur hat" he teases
"Mm that sexy sexy hat" I say turning to face him
He smiles at me and gives me a soft kiss on the lips, we disconnect and I smile back at him.
"Goodnight Liam Wilson"
"Goodnight Alexandra Anderson" he gracefully says
~~~~~~~~~~~
Pulling up in my driveway, I park the beautiful car into the garage and put back my keys.
The house was so quiet. Molly would be back tomorrow so again I was alone. I was used to it anyway, my whole life I've mostly been alone.
I walk up the stairs and decide to stop by Ace's old room.
I walk in and take a look around the enormous room.
The bed still made, for what's been over a year. The clothes were still hanging as they were. And finally, his violin. Sitting in its case, not being played.
I open the case and admire the beautiful instrument he used to play so elegantly.
I take note that for the first time in my life, I was not crying at the thought of him. His memories just made me happy.
Happy that I knew such a good soul and person. I wasn't sad or grieving, but thankful that I got to know him. It was like I was moving on. Finally.
Liam in my life was great. Even though we weren't anything officially, who knew if we would be. But right now, he was a figure in my life, and I was enjoying whatever we have at the moment. Everything seemed to be going great in my life.
Until my phone starts to ring. Little did I know, everything would come crashing down after picking up this call.
It was an unknown caller Id. So I sent it to voicemail.
Probably just and ad. But it rang again. Thinking is quite odd, I pick it up.
"Hello?""
"Ms. Anderson, you will do exactly as we say or else we-" I immediately end the call.
My breathing quickens and I start to feel like I'm having a panic attack again. I close my eyes and try to do the breathing exercise Dr. Ashley had told me to do it when I felt like this.
I take a seat on the bed still shaking from that stupid call.
The voice was disguised with this robot sounding generator and I was just not expecting that.
I calm myself down and wonder what the hell that was.
Was it linked to those anonymous notes from the gala I was getting the other day? Probably They addressed me in the same way by calling me Ms. Anderson.
Maybe it was just some random crazy person who somehow got a hold of my phone number and was trying to scare me. I don't let this get to me too much and try to push it aside.
I get up and walk over to my room. Changing into my pjs, I get another call from the same 'unknown number', but I send it to voicemail. It rings again, and again and again. So I shut off my phone.
I get into my bed and just sit there, in my sheets. Scared.
Every single little noise I was hearing was scaring the Crap out of me.
Somewhere in the middle of the night, I dozed off and got some sleep.
I wake up at the sound of my alarm clock and instantly get up remembering the events of last night. I shake my thoughts away and walk to my bathroom.
I wash up and change into black dress pants with an oversized black blazer with a white bralette top. I put my hair in a sleek bun and put some red lipstick on.
Grabbing my purse, I hear Molly scream from downstairs
"Molly?" I call out and rush my way downstairs to see what happened
I see her standing in front of the big window in the living room, holding her chest with a look of shock.
"Molly is everything okay?!" I ask and see her point to the window which is when I let out a gasp
In big bold red letters: "Do as we say B*tch"
"I just walked in a couple minutes ago and made my way into the kitchen, I turned to put a few things into the pantry and saw this! Who would do such a thing?
We must call the police immediately" she says in a panic and turns to grab the phone
"No Molly don't call the police" I say
"Why not? This is trespassing and a threat Alex, we must"
she says with worry in her eyes
"Don't worry. It was probably just some reckless teens or something. Ill check the surveillance cameras after to see who did this. Don't worry" I say and give her a hug
"Okay dear, I'll grab the keys to the camera room and then I'll get this mess cleaned up" she says and goes off.
After staring at the graffiti on the windows, I wonder if it's connected to last night's mysterious phone calls. Was someone trying to threaten me? What for? Money? Well probably. But Why call me and scare me? What were they trying to do?
Molly comes back with the key and walks me over to the security camera room. I access the computer and look for the files. All of a sudden we hear the doorbell ring.
"l get it, its probably Liam here to pick you up" she says
Before she walks out, I say "Please don't tell him anything yet"
She looks at me hesitantly but after a second, she nods in agreement
I quickly try to access the files but hear Liam walk in the door. I hear Molly trying to distract him but he's still coming towards the door so I quickly email the video file to my work email to watch it there.
I hit 'send' and then hear him walk in "Morning, I brought you coffee" he says with a smile.
I quickly get up "Aw thank you" I answer and take the cup.
"What are you doing in here? Did something happen?"" he asks
Molly looks at me and I look at her "Uh, no. Just trying to see something, nothing of importance. We should get going" I say and try to make my way out of the room.
I could tell he wasn't buying it and probably thought something was up but doesn't ask questions.
We head out the door and walk over to the black SUV he drives me around in. As soon as we close the door and are outside, out of sight from Molly, he grabs my arm and I turn and claim his lips with mine.
I put my arms around his neck and he pushes me closer with his hands on my waist. His soft luscious lips against mine was exactly what I needed right this moment to get my mind off things.
We disconnect and I smile looking into his icy blue eyes
"You look so good today" I say admiring how sexy he looked in his black trench coat and black dress pants
"Not as good as you always look, beautiful" he says and gives me one last peck.
We walk over to the car and he opens the back door for me
I start to laugh
"Ya right-"I say and walk to the front
"Oh, I see how it is Ms. Anderson" he laughs out and gets in the driver's seat
As he drives me to work, I can't help but look at him. I admire his chiseled jaw and gelled back hair. How his muscles in his face move when he's talking and when he smiles.
I feel him place his hand gently on my thigh and gives it a small squeeze.
After a few minutes, I ask him a question "Liam, If I wanted to re-hire security at the house, do I tell Molly or like how-" he cuts me off
"Security? Did something happen Alex?" he asks worried.
This is why I don't wanna tell him what happened, he would get way too worried and I didn't wanna bother worrying anyone if it wasn't even a serious issue.
"No nothing happened. I just wanted to hire extra protection, for Molly you know? She's alone and you never know what could happen." I say
"For Molly yes, and for you. Your home alone sometimes, you really need protection. I'll get in contact with the company, don't worry" he says
"Thank you Liam" I say
We finally reach Anderson Tech and I get out of the car, saying goodbye to Liam and making my way to my office.
I greet my secretary Emma and walk into my office and get right to my emails. I open the file of the security cameras and try to find last night's recording to see who the hell came and wrote the sign on the windows.
Fast forwarding, I get to 5am and see someone wearing all black with a black mask on and a bag of spray cans.
They walk over to the window and write the message.
They then look at the camera and point like they were pointing at me directly. I can't make out the face since they're wearing a mask but watching this sent shivers down my spine.
I start to feel another panic attack coming but I try to calm myself down. I take my pills and try to breathe. I close the video, I didn't want to go to the police yet. Liam said he will get security which is honestly all I needed right now.
So I put this behind me and call Emma. I ask her to book an appointment with Dr. Ashley today. It was about time I gave him a visit, especially with everything that's going on right now.
After everything is settled, I start to review files and send a few emails. I work for a few hours and realize I had a meeting starting in about 20 minutes. I then hear my phone ring.
I start to feel chills and get scared to even look at who was calling me. I slowly lift up my phone and then see Jennifer, my sister, calling, I sigh in relief but at the same time, am not so happy.
Last time I spoke to Jenn was right when Ace had passed away. I never really speak to her, only when she needs money or...actually that's about it. Only when she needs money.
She called my last year to tell me she was 7 months pregnant and she never called again. I wonder what she wanted now? I wish I was closer with my sister, but as sOon as she got married, we just drifted apart.
"Hello?" I answer the phone
"Omg I haven't spoken to you in so long! How's everything going, I miss you" she says
"Hey Jenn, I'm doing well, how are you? How's Frank and the baby?" I ask with excitement, I wonder if I had a niece or nephew!
"Uh, Alex, I'm in Manhattan. I'm actually 2 blocks away from your work. Can we have lunch?" she asks
"What in the world- You're Manhattan!? What are you doing here?" I ask in shock. She lived all the way in Washington, why is she here and when did she get here
"Ya, I came to see you. Surprise hehe" she says
"Omg well, of course we can grab lunch, um... I have a short meeting starting soon but as soon as that's done, I can meet you at Long House Cafe just a block away?" I ask her
"Sounds good. Ill see you there" she says and hangs up abruptly
Well... That was, weird? I felt so many different emotions right at this moment. Confusion, excitement, weirded out, happy.. just to name a few.
