The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window (17 page)

Liam rubbed
the back of his head
. “Right yeah,
girlfriend,” he mumbled, smiling.

I went
back
to my room, laughing my head off.
“That was so funny,” I told Kate, who was sitting up in bed waiting
for me.

She
started laughing too. “Did he like?” she asked,
waggling her eyebrows.

“
Yep
,” I confirmed, popping the p.
I climbed in to bed with a smile on my face.

A little while later, I heard
Jake go to bed so I knew Liam was on his own. “Kate, I’m going to
go and see Liam for a little while,” I said, once I knew that Jake
would be asleep.

“
Oh really?
Give him another view of tha
t sexy ass
sleepwear?” she teased, smiling.

I giggled.
“Something like that. Don’t wait up, I might be a while.” I winked
at her as I climbed out of the bed, grabbing my cellphone so I
could use the alarm function.

“
Have fun,
and don’t do anything that I wouldn’t do,
” she joked. There actually wasn't much that Kate wouldn’t
do, she’d had a few boyfriends and she definitely wasn’t a virgin.
I giggled and left the room, snaking down the hallway to the living
room, where Liam was already laying on the couch under the spare
duvet. I set the alarm for six; the usual
‘get Liam out of my window’
time, and put it on the floor.

“
Hey
, Angel,” he whispered,
smiling at me and pulling the duvet out of the way so I could lay
down next to him. I eagerly climbed in and melted my body against
his. He sighed contentedly and wrapped his arms around me tightly.
“That was not fair earlier, by the way,” he scolded, as he kissed
my forehead.

I smiled
teasingly. “Really, you didn’t like my pyjamas?” I asked,
innocently.

“
I
loved
the
pyjamas, but not how you paraded your sexy ass right in front of me
with your brother sitting there,” he groaned.

“
You think I
have a sexy ass?” I teased
.

“
Hmm, I can’t
remember, let me have another look,” he said huskily. I giggled and
rolled over onto my stomach
, putting my
hands under my head.

He groaned
again and slowly ran his hand down my back
, across my ass and down one of my thighs before going back
up the other one. His hand came to a stop on my ass, tracing the
line of the lace, making me shiver. Jeez, what’s happening to me? I
actually want him to touch me. If he made a move to touch me, I
wasn’t going to stop him this time. He bent his head and kissed my
shoulder, before moving down lower and trailing kisses across my
back and hips. He kissed to the bottom of the shorts and trailed
his tongue across the very bottom of my ass cheek, just where it
meets the leg. I gasped and stiffened.

He pulled
away quickly
. “Sorry, sorry. I got
carried away,” he said apologetically.

I
blushed
like crazy. “I liked it, Liam,” I
said huskily, my voice shaking slightly from the desire that was
racing through my bloodstream.

“
You did?” he
asked, sounding surprised about it
.

“
Oh heck
yeah,
” I admitted breathily, making me
blush again. Wow, did I just say that? That’s so
embarrassing!

He moaned
slightly and bent his head, tracing his tongue a
long the edge of the lace again. This time I couldn’t help
the little moan that escaped my lips. The sound seemed to encourage
him, as he did it again, and slipped his hand up my thigh,
massaging my ass and back. He kissed up my back, lifting the
material of my top so he could kiss my skin. I rolled over so we
were face to face and kissed him, pulling him down to me so his
whole body was pressed onto mine. I could feel his skin against
mine as I was glad I decided to go for the skimpy sleepwear. He was
getting excited downstairs again, I could feel him pressed against
my thigh, but I wasn’t scared this time, I was encouraged. He
brought his hands up and cupped my breasts; I let out a sigh when I
felt his hot hand just through the material of my top because I
wasn’t wearing a bra. He moaned as he rubbed his thumb over my
nipples making them hard. He was only wearing shorts so I rubbed my
hands down his chest and stomach, just marveling at how toned and
perfect he was.

He kissed
down my neck and a
cross my breasts
through my top. My hands tangled into his silky brown hair as he
kissed his way down my stomach, getting hold of my top with his
teeth and pulling it up, slowly, exposing my stomach. I moaned and
he brought his mouth down on my bare skin, licking it lightly and
blowing on it, making my body almost vibrate with excitement. He
slipped his hand under my top and slowly trailed it up towards my
breasts, trailing his fingertips over them while he continued to
kiss my stomach, but he was kissing higher now and my breathing was
starting to speed in anticipation of him kissing my
breasts.

Oh God, yep
this is way too fast! “Sorry….
Liam….
stop,” I mumbled.

He pulled his
head bac
k immediately, and smiled his
beautiful smile. “You don’t need to apologise, Angel.” He bent his
head and kissed me again gently. I smiled at him gratefully as he
rolled off of me, pulling me close to his chest, running his
fingers through my hair, looking at me lovingly. “You are so
beautiful,” he murmured, kissing my nose gently as he pulled my top
back down for me. I giggled and shook my head. He really was full
of these corny lines! Maybe that works for him to get the girls to
sleep with him. He smiled, looking a little hurt. “You don’t
believe me,” he stated.

“
How many
girls have you said that to, Liam?” I whispered, not really sure my
voice would so
und right if I spoke
normally.

He sighed and
looked a little defeated. “I can’t change my past
, Angel, trust me I wish I could. I’ve never felt anything
for anyone else, I swear. I’ve never told anyone they were
beautiful before, only ever you. Nothing else compares to you,” he
said, looking at me intently, willing me to understand. My breath
caught in my throat at his sweet words. I squeezed myself closer to
him and buried my face in his chest, breathing him in. He sighed
happily and wrapped his arms tightly around me, kissing my
forehead. “Goodnight, Angel,” he whispered.

“
Night
, Liam,” I murmured against
his skin.

I had a
feeling that the being careful not to give him my heart
plan
, had gone completely out the window.
All I could do now, was pray that he wouldn’t break it. I snuggled
closer to him, laying my head on his chest and falling asleep
within minutes. Just as I started to go under I thought I heard him
whisper something that sounded like ‘I love you’, but Liam wouldn’t
say that, so it must have been something else.

Chapter 10

“WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?” I heard Jake roar from
nearby. I opened my eyes and looked at him. His face was bright red
and he looked murderously angry.

“
Jake
, not so loud you’re going to
make my ears bleed! What’s wrong?” I asked, sitting up. But as soon
as I moved, I realised what was wrong. I was still on the couch
with Liam. Oh no! I jumped up quickly and looked at Liam who had
his mouth hanging open, looking completely shocked. OK, I need to
salvage the situation quickly. “Damn it, Liam! Yuck! Did you have
your hands on me?” I cried, pretending to shudder in horror. Jake
looked at me, his face still angry, but he looked slightly confused
now.

“
I
…. er…. don’t…. what?” Liam
stammered.

“
What the
hell were you doing with him
, Amber?”
Jake growled angrily, pointing at Liam who just looked confused at
this point.

“
I must have
fallen asleep
, I guess.” I frowned,
shaking my head as if I was confused too.

“
Fallen
asleep? Well
, what were you doing with
him in the first place?” he asked, shooting Liam another dirty look
before turning back to me. OK, come on, think! Oh I got it; he’ll
have to accept this one!

“
I had a bad
dream
, Jake,” I mumbled, looking at the
floor, and pretending to be upset.

He gasped and
wrapped his arms around me
, instantly,
putting his chin on the top of my head. “Oh shit, Amber. It’s OK,”
he cooed, rocking me slightly.

“
I was upset
and I thought you were out here
, but you
weren’t. Liam comforted me, that’s all. We must have fallen
asleep,” I whispered, feeling guilty that I was lying. I really
wasn’t ready for him to know yet, especially after the way he was
just looking at Liam.

“
I’m sorry, I
just thought…. well, never mind,” Jake muttered, pulling back to
look at me. “You alright now?” I nodded, biting my lip to try and
ease some of the guilt I felt. He looked over at Liam. “Sorry, man,
I jumped to conclusions and er…. thanks for taking care of my
sister.”

Liam looked
really uncomfortable and glanced at me; I gave him a pleading
expression, begging him with
my eyes not
to say anything. “Yeah, no probs.” He shrugged, rubbing a hand
through his messy bed hair.

I
qui
ckly pulled out of Jake’s grasp. “I’m
going to go and get changed for school. What time is it anyway?” I
asked, looking around for my cellphone. Why hadn’t the freaking
alarm gone off?

“
It’s not
even six yet, Amber. I woke up early.” Jake shrugged.

“
Right, well
then I’m going to go have some breakfast before I go in the
shower.
Er…. thanks, Liam, for last
night,” I said, blushing and giving him a small smile.

“
It was
definitely my pleasure, Angel.” He winked at me, smiling
happily
.

Jake slapped
him across the back of his head
, making
him wince. “Little sister!” he stated, rolling his eyes and
stomping off towards the kitchen, leaving me and Liam in the
lounge.

Once Jake had
gone
, Liam looked at me. “I don’t like
having to lie to your brother, Angel,” he whispered,
frowning.

“
I know, but
just a couple of weeks, please?” I begged, kissing him quickly on
his lips and turning to run off in the direction of the kitchen. He
grabbed my hand and pulled me back to him
, kissing me again, before he gave me one of his beautiful
smiles. I almost skipped to the kitchen because I was so happy.
Jake was having toast, so I made two bowls of my favourite cereal,
one for me, one for Liam. I carried them into the lounge and handed
him one, before plopping down on the floor by the couch.

“
Er…. thanks
for this, Angel, but I don’t like coco pops,” he said, turning his
nose up at the bowl.

I frowned at
him
, confused. He was always eating my
cereal. Every day he had a bowl of coco pops. “Sure you do, you eat
it every day.” I looked at him like he’d lost his mind; did he
think I was stupid or something?

He
laughed
and shook his head. “No I don’t.
I make a bowl of it every day and pretend to eat it, before you
come in and snatch it off me,” he said with a sexy smile and amused
eyes.

“
Why the heck
would you make a bowl and pretend to eat it? Do you like to piss me
off?” I asked
, annoyed.

“
No
, Angel. I like to make you
breakfast,” he said simply.

I
gasped
at the revelation. He made them
for me? “You make them for me? Every day?” I asked, my mouth
hanging open, shocked that he would be so sweet and I had never
even noticed. Every day I would come in and make some nasty comment
to him about eating at home and leaving my cereal alone, and all
this time he makes it for me? Jeez, that is so freaking sweet! He
just shrugged as if it was nothing. All this time I thought he was
just a jerk, when really he was being nice to me! Jake walked in
then, so I couldn’t say anything. I scoffed my breakfast and
practically ran to my bedroom, grabbing my cellphone and texting
him because as I couldn’t speak to him:

‘
Thank you, that is really sweet! I never realised that you
did that. I’ll thank you properly later! X’
I sent. I smiled to myself and went to take a
shower.

As we stepped out of Liam’s car at school, we were
swamped by the usual hoard of girls wanting to paw Jake and Liam. I
rolled my eyes as Jessica pushed her way to the front and wrapped
her dirty little arms round my boyfriend’s waist, looking at him
with her come to bed eyes.

“
Jessica,
seriously you need to get off,” Liam said sternly, unwrapping her
fr
om him and stepping
backwards.

“
Liam
, baby, how about we skip
first period and we go have some fun,” she purred suggestively,
rubbing her hand up his chest.

Oh my
God
, I was so jealous that I actually
felt sick!
