chapter 7

Trish POV

It's been three days since Liam left. And I miss him so badly. I mean, even though we weren't speaking in the past I still felt his presence. Now he was really gone and I felt alone despite Mikel and Samuel being with me. Don't get me wrong I enjoy their company. It's just that they're a couple so the get cuddly and all sweet to each other so I felt like the third wheel. I fucking hate that feeling of being left out. So I just stay in Liam's room and told them I wasn't feeling well and need to rest.

I stare on the ceiling trying to remember where I saw Natasha. She looked so familiar. I don't like her. She seems like bad news. Liam said they had a past and she seems only two or three years older than me. So it means whatever they had wasn't ancient history. Liam said it's business but she doesn't look like a business woman to me. She was wearing a slutty outfit and would probably past as an escort. My jealousy is eating me. I can't help but imagine what they are doing together. Natasha was fucking hot. She's like a perfect 10, how can I compete with that. It's not like Liam's my boyfriend but I am attracted to him. I have to do something of my head would explode.

"Hey, sleepy head. Are you feeling better now?" Samuel asked as I join them in the living room.

"Yes. Can we go out? I've been stuck here for far to long. I think I'm going crazy." I stated.

"Great idea. Let's go shopping." Mikel replied.

"I wish I had money to go on a shopping spree. I don't have a single penny." I stated.

"Liam, left you his extension card." Samuel stated and handed to me the card. "He said you can use it."

"Really?" I smiled excitedly. "Let's get ready then. I have so much stuff I want to buy."

"I think Liam would be surprise on how much you can spend once he see the charges." Mikel stated shaking his head as we were shopping on our fourth boutique.

"Well, he did say I can use it. Besides he left without even saying goodbye. I just woke up and he was gone. Plus with she's with that Natasha doing god knows what." I rolled my eyes.

"My baby girl's jealous." Mikel said giggling. "You're revenge over Liam's card is understandable." 

"Of course it is. Where did Samuel go?"

"He just put some of the stuff you bought in the car. He said he'll meet us at the apple store."

"Great. I need to get myself a phone. Are you sure your not getting anything? Come on, it's on me." I stated while waiting for the cashier to pack the shoes and accessories I bought.

"I'm not going spend a single penny from Liam's card. Samuel can buy me things besides I don't need anything and I haven't seen anything that I liked from any stores we checked."

"Suit yourself." I replied. "Mikel, not that I'm prying or anything, why are you and Samuel not living in a house of your own. He seems wealthy and would have no problem buying his own place." I asked as we walk to the apple store.

"Well, now that you mentioned it he did say we would be moving in the same building where you and Liam are staying at. But I don't mind staying at the house with the rest of the guys. It's like a fraternity house where everybody is welcome. They just have a weird rule that I find strange. No one is allowed to open the curtains in day light. It's like some of them are scared of the sunlight or something." Mikel ranted.

"That sounds strange. It's great to know then that we can be neighbors soon. I can't wait to have some bonding time together with you. By the way aren't you working?"

"I am on leave. And I'm planning to work Liam's company. Samuel said it's going to be great working with them. I'll help them with the club promotions and party stuff."

"Cool. I'm planning to go job hunting next week. I can't just rely on Liam."

We all got back the house after eating dinner at an Italian restaurant. Samuel didn't eat much but drank almost a bottle of red wine. I've noticed that Liam also had the same appetite. They'd rather drink than eat. I looked a all the stuff I bought and realized I might have been very impulsive. Samuel and Mikel already lock themselves up while I put all the stuff in Liam's bedroom. I was downloading some music for my playlist when I got a call. Nobody knew my number except for Samuel and Mikel so I hesitantly answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, love." I immediately recognized Liam's voice.

"Who is this?" I asked pretending not to know and put him on speaker.

"Oh come on, stop acting like you don't know. I miss you." He replied playfully.

"As if. Listen Clark, I know you find me attractive but.."

"Who the fuck is Clark." He yelled cutting me off and I laughed out loudly.

"Our pool boy honey." I replied playfully.

"Patricia." He stated with a warning tone.

"What? You're with Natasha having fun and I can't have fun on my own."

"I told you it's business. Anyways, seems to me you have enjoyed using my card."

"Arg! Samuel told you." I stated annoyed.

"Yes, he tells me everything. He told me you weren't feeling well."

"I'm feeling better now. I just got a bit carried away with buying all the stuff. Don't worry I'll return them back tomorrow." I stated looking at all the items I bought.

"Don't. It's good that you bought things you like. So can I at least get a peak on what you bought with my money." He stated.

"Sure." I sent him a picture of the items I bought still on their bags.

"Love, can I at least see what's inside those bags." He said laughing.

"Fine. I'll call you in facetime so you can see." I stated excitedly. "Are you alone?"

"I'm in a restuarant. I'm waiting for my colleagues. Why?"

"You'll see. I'll call you back." I searched for the sexiest item I bought and put it on. "Hey." I smiled at him.

"Hello. I miss you so much." He stated.

"You look tired. Are you okay?"

"I'm good now that I can see you, love."

"So this is what I got." I stepped back from my phone so he can have a full view of my body. "What do you think?" I stated seductively and run my fingers slowly in my bare skin.

"Dammit. Take that off." He ordered.

"I'm not stripping down in front of a camera for you." I giggled as I danced sexily.

"I want you wearing that when I get back." He stated seriously. "Stop teasing me when I'm a thousand miles away. I'm fucking so hard right now."

"Ohhhh to bad I can't help you with that." I teased.

"I have to go my colleagues just arrived." He stated smiling widely.

"Fine. Call me when your not busy. Bye."

I took several sexy pictures of myself and sent it to Liam. For your lonely nights I texted and got to bed. I fell asleep feeling great. I now know how much effect I have on Liam hopefully he doesn't fuck someone else while his away. I wanted to tease him so bad that he'd come home immediately and cut odd his trip shorter.

I found myself running in the hallway being chased after several vampires. I hid myself at one of the rooms and I saw Natasha arguing with Gareth. Then she suddenly attacked him. I froze seeing how she drained the life out of him. She looked at my directions and so I run out of the room just to be ambushed by the vampires running after me. I fell on the ground and screamed loudly. Then the vampires trying to rip me off we're being pulled away. They were being slammed against the wall. I was so scared so when I found the opportunity I run and slipped on the balcony. I was falling and screaming for help but when I saw a vampire trying to rescue me my hands slip from the railing making me fall in the darkness.

I woke up covered in sweat shaking. I embrace my pillow and started crying. My nightmares were haunting me. It felt like an actual event that happened. I couldn't believe I even had Natasha in it. I wish Liam was here to calm me down. I opened the lights and tried calling him. He wasn't answering he was probably sleeping. I went to the bathroom and washed my face then I went to the kitchen and and had a nightcap. The alcohol would help calm my nerves. When I got back the bedroom after ten minutes I saw twelve missed calls from Liam.

"Hello." I immediately answered his call.

"Hey, love sorry I missed your call I was in the bathroom." He stated and I just kept quiet. "Are you okay? Why are you still up at this hour? Patricia?!"

"I had a nightmare." I admitted. "But I'm okay now. I had a drink and I feel more relaxed."

"You shouldn't be drinking." He stated.

"I needed to. If I didn't I would still be trembling and crying by myself." I stated as I sat on the bed.

"I'm sorry. Turn on your video so I can see you." I did as he requested. "Love, I'll have Samuel install a camera in my room so I can watch you is that okay?"

"No?!" I freaked out. "Why would you want to watch me? That's insane."

"I just want to make sure that your safe." He reasoned.

"I'm safe. Mikel and Samuel are with me. I don't like being watched. Besides, aren't you coming back here soon?"

"In a few more days. We still got a lot of things to settle. So what did you dream about?" He asked.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"You called me because you had a nightmare but you don't want to tell me about it. Why did you call me?"

"I just wanted to hear your voice. It calms me down and make me feel safe. Plus you are a good distraction."

"As much as I love talking with you, you should probably go to sleep. It's pretty late. You should take a rest."

"I'm not sleepy. Did you like the pictures I sent you?" I smiled mischievously as I lay down.

"I jerked off looking at them." He replied playfully and I laughed.

"You're a pervert."

"You're the one who sent me those naughty pictures. You better prepare yourself when I get back I'll lock you up in my bed for weeks."

"Yeah, right?"

I lost track off time as we teased and talked about crazy stuff. We constantly talk over the next few days. My nighrmares were back and it was getting worst. It would start from the part where I look for Stanley and me falling down from the castle's balcony. It was the same almost everyday. Luckily, Liam was a good distraction. He always check up on me and he even have flowers delivered everyday. He's really sweet and I am falling for him. Is it possible to fall in love with a person I barely know? Liam is like my knight and shining armor. He was always their to rescue me and protect me. But he can be possessive and arrogant at times. He is also feared by others. So a dark knight would be a better way to put it. A very handsome and seductive dark knight.

"Liam, when are you getting back. I thought you said it's only for a few days. It's been two weeks."

"We're heading on our last stop today so I'd probably be back tomorrow or the next day." He replied.

"Really?" I couldn't hide my excitement.

"Hey, babe can you please zip me up." Natasha suddenly butt in and Liam put his phone down but I can still see them both. "Thanks, hurry up we need to leave in five minute. Take a shower already."

"Shut the fuck up Natasha and just finish getting ready." He grabbed his phone and smiled at me. "Sorry about that Natasha is being annoying."

"Are you sleeping with her?"

"Oh sweetie we haven't been sleeping." Natasha stated.

"Natasha!" Liam stated. "Love, she's just teasing you. I have to go now. I'll see you when I get back."

"Whatever." I hang up and joined Mikel and Samuel for breakfast. "What the hell happen to your neck? You two should try not to be so rough and loud when you fuck. I can hear you."

"Sorry." Mikel stated as he touched the bite mark on his neck. "We got a bit carried away."

"Yeah, right." I rolled my eyes at him. "So I have a full body wax appointment today at the spa are you two coming?"

"Yes, we also want full body massages and facials." Mikel replied.

"Samuel, how long have you known Natasha?" I asked as we were heading to the spa.

"Long enough. Why?" He asked.

"I don't like her. Liam told me that they had a past but she seems to be still flirting with him."

"Natasha just like that but she's okay. She flirts with Liam just to piss him off."

"Were they together for a long time?"

"Don't really know. They have been acting that way since I met them but I have no idea if they we're together or just hooked up." He stated.

We enjoyed our day at the spa. It was very relaxing. After my full body wax I had facial and manicure and pedicure. We retire to bed early and around 3:00 AM the door bell rang and I immediately got up thinking it was Liam. When I got out the room I saw Samuel with another man.

"Who is she?" He looked at me and I can't help but stare at his deep blue eyes.

"Hendrick, she's Trish." Samuel replied nervously.

"A pleasure to meet such a beautiful lady." He moved close to me and lifted my hand to kiss.

"She's with Liam." Samuel added when he refused to release my hand.

"Liam sure has a good taste." He smiled at me sweetly. "Did you know that Liam and I used to share our women? Once he gets tired of you perhaps you can share my bed." He stated while caressing my cheeks.

"What the fuck?" I slap his hand and step away from him.

"A feisty one." He smirked at me. "I'll have my time with you soon kitten and you are going to enjoy every fucking minute of it."

"In your fucking dreams." I walked away from him and slammed the door of the bedroom before locking it.

Jeez! What kind of acquaintances does Liam have. Whoever this Hendrick guy is, his an arrogant prick. What the fuck was he saying saying? There was no way I'm going to share a bed with him. And what the hell was up with Samuel. He was always so protective with me when we go out and would be likely to kill any men who dares to flirt with me. But earlier he just stood still and didn't even dare stop the perverted prick. He had a similar aura like Liam and seems to radiate the same authority like him. Fuck, I miss Liam so much that I'm starting to see him in other people. I lay in bed and checked my phone. Still no update from Liam. He haven't called or texted since this morning so I just sent him a message.
