Chapter 15 - The Ice Cube
Chloe Cage
Why are you taking me?
Liam walked, not talking to me at all.
Chloe Cage
Fine, don't talk to me. Have it your way, Ice Cube.
He glared at me aggressively, slightly angry about how I gave an excuse not to sleep with him.
I looked beautiful in his eyes, too beautiful. He didn't want to show me to anyone, especially when they could look at me like that.
His possessiveness had no bounds and whatever he wanted, he could have. It was just harder to control a human being who happened to be a girl and who happened to have a strong will and a mind of her own.
Chloe Cage
Will there be little cakes at this party?
He still didn't answer me. He was still deep in thought. While he was pondering, I averted my gaze. He did... look handsome like that.
As we walked into the hall where the party was being held, I suddenly felt a shiver.
Unpleasant memories flooded back to me and I froze in place. My eyes darted everywhere at the fancily dressed people and the pretty ladies with purses filled with caramels-
Liam Nightly
What are you doing?
Taking my hand, Liam pulled me to his side again.
Liam Nightly
Are you getting cold feet?
Yeah, this isn't the past. This isn't like before... this isn't like before...
Chloe Cage
No, I'm fine! Let's go!
A cute little smile was all Liam Nightly needed to forget about my sudden mishap.
As wee walked in, I saw that many eyes were on us. Then, he walked up to a woman who barely looked 30.
She then looked at me, then at our clasped hands.
Amanda Nightly
Are you wearing thin latex gloves or something?
Amanda Nightly
And are you, dear?
Chloe Cage
W-Was I supposed to?
Her eyes then lit up like fireworks as she hugged me tightly, making me let go of Liam's hand.
Amanda Nightly
Oh my gosh! You must be Chloe! My, you are such a beautiful girl!
Amanda Nightly
You're a girl, right?
Chloe Cage
Yes, I am a girl.
She squealed and hugged me tightly.
Amanda Nightly
Oh, we are going to be the best of friends, I just know it.
Amanda Nightly
I'm Amanda Nightly, Liam's mother.
Hold on, she's his mother?
Chloe Cage
But... you look so young!
Amanda Nightly
Oh, do I now? Liam, your girlfriend is a flattering little thing. Must be why you like her so much!
Liam then took me from her arms and made me fall against his chest.
Liam Nightly
Stop scaring her, Mother.
Then, my eyes tensed when I realised that he could feel my shivers and backed up, laughing nervously.
Chloe Cage
It's fine, really.
He looked at me, then took my hand and lead me towards a corridor.
Chloe Cage
W-Wait, where are we going?
He lead me away from his mother and the crowds, up the stairs until we reached an empty restaurant.
Chloe Cage
Where are we going? Answer me... LIAM!
He froze when I spoke his name, turning around to meet my eyes.
Liam Nightly
What did you just call me?
Chloe Cage
N-Nothing... you must have heard things.
Liam Nightly
Call me that when we are alone.
I looked up at him, and yet again I saw his domineering expression but with a little smile.
I turned around and looked at the restaurant.
Chloe Cage
Why are we up here?
Liam Nightly
You were trembling.
Chloe Cage
You were imagining things.
Liam Nightly
No, I wasn't. Why were you shivering?
Liam Nightly
Chloe, tell me!
Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered my lifeless self...
Playing against a boy who I'll likely never see again...
Then, a strong arm pulled me into Liam's arms, making me smell a soothing scent of pinewood.
Liam Nightly
It's okay... you're okay. You can cry if you want to...
For the first time in my life, I felt like I could sob in his arms... but not tonight.
I sniffed away the tears and looked up at him, smiling.
Chloe Cage
Don't be like this. This is out of your character, Liam.
Some secrets aren't meant to be shared... and my past is one of them.
