One Week Later...

Today is a big day for me. I am going house hunting, and I am excited. The plan is to move into my home by early spring of next year. I found a great Real Estate Agent I have been talking to back and forth with for the past few days. Today, we are finally meeting up to look at some available homes. To make sure I am not being screwed over financially, I asked Liam to come along. And this will be a great time for us to catch up.

I step out of my apartment complex and spot Liam in his car waiting for me.

"Hey...You look beautiful."

Liam steps out of the car and embraces me with an endearing hug. He placed his hands respectively right over my waist. Though, I could tell he fought the urge to grab my ass by his low groan, seducing my ear.

"Are those jeans new?" He asks while opening the passenger side of the car for me to get in.

"You bought these for me, remember?" I say once inside the car.

He frowns some while recounting the details, before a small smile forms on his lips.

"How could I forget? They look sexy on you."

"Thanks."

Liam gets inside the car. He takes a few seconds to make sure his mirrors were adjusted. By the time he slides his shades on, we are navigating onto the highway.

"So, exactly what time do we have to meet with this lady?" Liam says once at a stoplight.

"Her name is Mrs. Samuels. And, we have another hour."

"Perfect. Wanna grab a bite to eat?"

"Yes. I'm starving."

Liam barely waited for the light to turn green before he decided to bring up the pink elephant.

"What did you and Michael do after the funeral last week?"

A dreaded sigh escapes my lips...I don't want to have this conversation.

"Why?" I say, snappy.

Liam chuckles softly. There is something about pushing my buttons that seems to make him gloat. And it is that one thing about him, that grinds my gears.

"I don't know...It just seemed like he had other plans with you. That's all."

I don't say anything. I am tired of discussing Michael with Liam. I no longer feel comfortable doing so.

"Do you like him?" Liam asks by the time he makes a turn onto another street.

"What kind of questions are these? I thought we were here to house hunt."

"I just wanna make sure the man knows your mine. I don't like the way he was looking at you the other day."

"When did we ever make anything official? Besides, he's still with Ella in case you forgot." I say while, rolling my eyes.

"Oh yes...The same Ella, whose back he's been going behind to cheat on with you." He says sarcastically.

"Your point? That was months ago. We've moved on from that."

"Babe. I'm not stupid. And I was not born yesterday. I like you a lot, in case you did not know. But, I'll be damned if I'm gonna share you. Tell your boy to back off. I'm serious."

"Until we make anything official, I'll see who I want, when I want, got it?"

Liam looks over at me then quickly focuses back on the road. He knew I was right. I refuse to ever commit myself to someone until it's official...I learned my lesson with that while with Michael.
