Their Innocence✓ [UNEDITED]

Sixty Two

"Liam. You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend"

Maria told me. Her tone was bittersweet.

"Yea...we are still new. I haven't told her about-"

"I don't expect you to. Dont stress over it"

She smiled kindly before encouraging me to ask her for a dance

But before I could ask her, Leo had gotten there first

I watched on to see what would happen. Leo knows what would happen if he even made the tiniest move

She accepted hesitantly! But i could tell she wasn't comfortable

So i went over and inturrupted them. Taking our sweetheart to myself as we headed to the dancefloor where a slow song was playing

"I've never slow danced before"

She told me and I nodded, guiding her through the steps as we gracefully danced. It felt as though the whole world melted away. I wish we could stay in this moment forever

"You had an ex wife?"

Trinette asked and i sighed

"Not now sweetheart, tomorrow?"

I asked and she understood

Thank god.

I really didn't want to get into it

But she had already Weasled her way into my brain

And that was it

He left

He left me on the dancefloor

I could tell he didn't want a follower so let him be as i went to tell Ryan

Ryan was understanding , giving me a warm embrace before sitting me down

"So..a Cello huh?"

A man who I didn't recognise asked me and i nodded

"You know, i know of an excellent teacher."

He offered and before I could answer, Milo accepted for me

After he left, i looked at the guys

"Who was that man"

I asked my guys and they smiled to me

"Someone important. I guarantee the person he's going to place as your teacher is Thomas."

Oliver told me and i looked to him

"Thomas is one of the best musicians. He's very well known- it just so happens that we know him. We met him at one of these parties actually"

Ryan informed me and i smiled and nodded. The stuff was getting sent to our home and I couldn't wait

"Did you guys have to learn Instruments as a child?"

I asked and they shook their heads

"Fuck no. We were focused on the business not leisure activities."

James told me and i felt kind of sad for them

Mind you. I'm a pity party myself

"Should someone check up on Liam?"

I asked and they nodded, Ryan left and Maria came over

"Trinette. right?"

She asked and I nodded

"Its nice to meet you"

I smiled to her anxiously and she smiled back

"Nice to meet you too sugar. How long have you and Liam been a thing?"

She started grilling me

"Me and the guys have been together for almost 6 months"

I beamed to her, proud of myself

"You and the guys"

She repeated herself and i nodded

"Yea"

I said. Shyness suddenly overcoming me

"Hmph"

Was the sound she made before leaving

"So what's the deal with you two then?"

Milo asked a smiling London and Aisley

"Nothing"

They both said a little too quickly. Id grown to know that london was the closest to Milo out of her brothers friends

"You cant keep things from me for long "

He warned before going back to his drink

James's phone rang and he answered it before springing up and going to find his friend. All whilst on the phone. The guys all got a message and I felt left out

Ryan said he'd teach me things. And then i can be included

I cant wait

"Shit man"

Ryan said as he saw me with a bottle of red wine

Lorissa's favourite drink

"I miss her Ryan. And i feel awful that I keep thinking of her. And i feel awful when I'm not. My heart is torn"

I revealed my feelings to him and he sat next to me, taking the bottle and reading it before placing it away

"We all miss her man. Im not going to lie to you about that. But maybe you owe it to our girl to tell her what's going on?"

He suggested and I nodded

"I do...what's going on with Lonnie and Ais"

I asked, wanting to change the subject

"Honestly I don't know. Maybe they're planning something"

He said thoughtfully and i chuckled

"You excited for Christmas?"

He asked and i nodded

"Fuck yea, I already brought trinny loads of gifts"

I told him and he nodded

"Me too. I'm so excited to see her face."

He smiled. Christmas was next week. We were planning on doing the tree tomorrow
