Chapter 155 - I miss him... (1/2)

Tiana shut the door behind her, leaning weakly on it, after some time she slumped to the floor, her eyes gazing emptily.

She had thought that hugging Liam would quench her thirst for Nicklaus but the reverse was the case, it just doubled.

Hugging him made her want Nicklaus more, memories of him came flashing back, so much that she felt her insides about to explode;

Tiana lifted her hand to her chest and rubbed on it, slow pants left her lips as her head fell between her legs;

I miss him…

This was the first time she had let herself believe it, she had always missed him but this was the first time she had accepted it.

Tiana sat there for the longest time before she forced herself up and went to bed.

…

''Hey! Good morning;'' Tiana held her phone against her ear as she prepared scotched eggs for breakfast;

''Tiana, good morning, how are you this morning? Hope you slept well? '' Liam asked, his tone energetic;

''Yeah, I did, thanks to you. '' although that wasn't exactly true because that night was no different;

''I'm glad you slept well; I hope you are relieved now? ''

Tiana swallowed; ''ye…ah… ''

''Great, I just called to check on you… ''

”Thanks… ''

Tiana replied and the call grew silent; she stopped cooking and stepped away from the cooker, as though contemplating a decision;

''Alright, I'll let you prepare for… ''

''Liam… '' Tiana cut him off, her hand gripping the counter;

''I thought about what you said last night; '' She paused, as though wanting to get his full attention;

''… And I've decided to go along with it; I don't love you, but I'm willing to give this a chance, to know if it might work between us. I… I don't want to lead you on in any way, that's why I'm making it clear to you, and if it doesn't work, we'll call it off if that is okay by you… '��

She swallowed; she wasn't sure if this was a perfect choice but at that moment, she had run out of options.

''Okay, we'll do that, ''

Tiana's hands fisted and she nodded;

''Thank you… ''

''Yeah, and right, I have a charity gala to attend tomorrow, can you be my date? That's if you don't mind… ''

''Sure, no problem; ''
