The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window (3 page)

“
Holy crap,
Jessica, did you know you left your skirt at home?” I asked with
mock horror.

She scowled
at me and I heard Liam
and Jake laugh.
“Whatev’s, you do know that the emo look doesn’t work for you,
right?” she spat back.

I just
laughed and walked off. It was usual for Jessica and I to have
these sort of comments fo
r each other.
She had dated Liam for a little while, well, if by dating you mean
having sex a few times, and then getting dropped. She still wasn’t
over it and wanted him back, much to his disgust.

“
That wasn’t
nice, Angel
.” Liam laughed, as he caught
up with me and threw an arm around my shoulder. He bent his head
close to mine. “Sorry about this morning,” he breathed in my ear,
sending shivers down my spine. I elbowed him in the ribs making him
chuckle and pull back. “And ignore Jessica, I think you rock the
emo look,” he added, with a flirty wink.

Jake slapped
him on the back of the head
. “Dude,
that’s my little sister!” he scolded angrily, pulling him off me.
Liam just laughed and winked at me again, making me roll my eyes.
Liam pulled away and walked straight up to what looked like his
newest lay. He smiled at her seductively and she blushed as he
immediately started flirting with her.

I found my
friends who were
practically eye shagging
Jake and Liam with dreamy expressions. “Hey, Kate, Sean, Sarah,” I
chirped as I walked up to them.

“
Hey
, Ambs, did you ride in with
hot piece of ass one and two again today?” Kate asked, staring
after my brother as he walked off.

I laughed and
shook my head. “Nope, just plain old Jake and Liam same as
usual.”

Kate sighed.
“How the hell can you be unaffected by how freaking hot they are? I
mean, you’re so lucky to live with Jake! I would love to watch his
hot ass walk around all day,” she purred, fanning her
face.

I pretended
to gag
. “Kate, that’s my brother and his
asshole friend! How on earth can you get past the man-whore
behaviour? Both of them are jerks.” I shrugged. I didn’t get why,
but every single girl in this school was in love with them. Jake
was a great person, but he treated girls like objects, and Liam,
well Liam was just an all-round jerk.

“
They are the
two best players on the hockey team and look like sex gods, and I
wish I could
get past
it
,” she said suggestively, waggling her
eyebrows with a grin, making me laugh. She hooked her arm through
mine and pulled me towards our first class.

School was
good
, as usual; I was quite popular due
to the fact that my brother and his best friend were the most
wanted boys there. They looked after me of sorts, which basically
meant that they warned all the guys to stay away from me, which
actually suited me fine because I didn’t want to date. Most of the
girls wanted to be my friends so that they could get closer to my
brother. The girlfriend wannabe’s were pretty easy to see through
though, mostly you could tell if they wanted an introduction, by
what kind of clothes they were wearing - if they weren’t wearing
much then they were after my brother or Liam.

I loved my
classes, I was quite popular amongst the teachers too because my
grades never went below a B. I always did my
homework
, and was never tardy; I prided
myself on it, though I wasn’t a nerd. At lunchtime I was sat with
my friends when I heard the usual whispers and giggles. Girls
started checking their hair and fixing their make-up so I knew that
my brother and his friends were arriving in the canteen. I sighed
as Kate and Sarah started lusting over them as usual.

“
Oh
yay,
hot piece of ass number one is
coming over!” Sarah giggled, elbowing Kate in the ribs.

I rolled my
eyes as a hand shot out from behind me
stealing a handful of my fries. “Hey, Angel,” Liam breathed
down my neck.

I
sl
apped his hand as he went to steal some
more. “Liam, for goodness sake! Go buy your own food, you tight
ass,” I ranted, annoyed.

He laughed.
“Oh you know you want to share with me,” he replied, plopping down
next to me on the bench, shoving me over with his hip.

“
Liam, what
do you want?” I asked with a sigh, moving my plate away from
him.

He
t
hrew his arm around my shoulder. “I just
wanted to visit with my girl. I know you’ve been missing me not
seeing me all morning, and all,” he said cockily.

My friends
all sig
hed and stared at him longingly.
“Will you get your man-whore arm off me, Liam, for goodness sake; I
don’t want to catch anything!” I scolded, shrugging him
off.

He chuckled
a
gain. “Don’t be like that, Angel. I just
wanted to let you know I’ll be driving you home today. Your brother
has a date, so….” he trailed off, smirking at me.

Great,
jus
t great! He was driving me home.
Fantastic. He always made the drive home as long as possible just
to annoy the life out of me. Then, he insisted on waiting at my
house until my brother came home, which meant that I had to cook
for him too. Damn it, he is so annoying!

“
That’s
great, Liam. Run along now, I’m sure you have some more STD’s to
spread around,” I said
, waving my hand in
a buzz off gesture.

He laughed
and kissed
me on the cheek as he stood
up. “Pretend all you want, Angel, we both know you’ll be wanting me
to sleep with you tonight.” He winked at me slyly, giving what he
said a double meaning, and I prayed no one else picked up on
it.

“
Of course I
will
, Liam, because I’m
so
in love
with you.” I sighed, rolling my eyes and rubbing my cheek where he
kissed me.

“
I love
you
, too.” He smirked at me as he walked
off to the same girl from this morning. He slipped his arm around
her shoulder, his dirty, slutty lips lowered onto hers. I frowned
and looked away back to my friends when he started making out with
her in the middle of the canteen.

Kate and
Sarah and half the girls in the canteen were staring after
him lustfully. “Jeez, that guy is so freaking
annoying! Why couldn’t my brother choose a nice best friend,
someone who isn’t an arrogant, self-obsessed, asshole?” I ranted,
throwing my hands up.

“
Oh stop
whining! Liam James just had his arm round you and kissed you on
the cheek, I would give anything for those sweet lips to be on me,”
Sarah
said dreamily, making me
laugh.

“
Whatever.
Come on, let’s get to our next class,” I suggested as we picked up
our trays and headed out.

After school I reluctantly made my way to the parking
lot, where a smirking Liam was leaning against his car waiting for
me. “Hey, beautiful.” He winked at me flirtily and opened my door
for me.

“
Hello,
Liam.” I climbed
into his car, already
annoyed with his flirty ass, if Jake was here he would have slapped
him for that one.

He climbed in
next to me. “So then, Angel, I just need to stop by the store on
the way back.” He put the car into drive and pulled out of the
parking lot.

“
Great,” I
mumbled. I decided to look out of my window and ignore him; I was
still annoyed with him for the whole
‘ten more minutes’
thing this
morning.

He pulled
into the parking lot o
f the store a few
minutes later. “Come on, Angel,” he said, getting out. I just sat
there and crossed my arms over my chest refusing to leave the car.
He walked around the car and opened my door for me. “Come on,
Angel,” he repeated, holding his hand out for me.

“
It doesn’t
take two of us to go in
, Liam. I’ll wait
here,” I countered. He reached into the car and picked me up
easily, slinging me over his shoulder, laughing. He kicked the door
shut and started walking towards the store. “Put me the hell down,
asshole!” I shouted, slapping on his back.

He just
laughed at my meager attempts to get down, and continued walking.
Once we were in the store he finally set me on my feet. I looked
around, embarrassed, checking to see if anyone saw that, but it
appeared that they didn’t. He reached out his hand and tucked some
of my loose hair behind my ear, his fingers lingering on my
cheek.

I slapped his
hand a
way from my face and gave him and
looked at him angrily. “That was so embarrassing!” I
hissed.

“
What’s the
problem? Most girls would love for me to do that to
them,
” he replied, shrugging and walking
off towards the magazines.

I stomped my
foot
, then blushed because I had just
stomped like a child; thankfully Liam wasn’t watching otherwise I
would never hear the end of it. He grabbed a sports magazine and a
bar of chocolate and stalked off towards the counter to
pay.

I was happily
flicking through Teen Vogue when two boys walked over to me. I
stiffened. “Well hello there,” one of them purred. I nodded in
acknowledgement, and put the magazine back, walking off quickly to
find Liam.

“
Hey
, where you going?” the other
guy asked, grabbing my hand.

My heart
started to race
as I looked around,
frantically. “I’m looking for my boyfriend,” I lied, trying to
sound confident.

“
Boyfriend? I
don’t see a boyfriend,” the other guy said
, sneering at me. “How about we go somewhere and get to
know each other better?” the boy who was holding my hand offered,
pulling me towards him slightly.

I felt sick.
Oh God, Liam, help me please! I know I’m pathetic but I just hate
confrontation and I hate people touching me, especially people I
don’t know.

“
Hey
, Angel,” Liam said, slinging
his arm around my shoulder and glaring at the two guys who
immediately dropped my hand and took a step back. I moved closer to
Liam’s side and pressed into him so hard that it actually hurt. “I
hope you guys weren’t hitting on my girl,” he said casually, but I
could hear the anger in the tone of his voice. Liam has always been
protective of me; one time a boy pushed me over into a puddle when
I was seven, and Liam went straight round to the boy’s house and
punched him in the face.

“
No way, man.
We were just talking, that’s all,” the guy lied, holding up his
hands innocently.

“
That’s good.
Come on then
, Angel, let’s get you home,”
Liam said, guiding me towards the door. Once we were outside, he
turned to look at me. “You OK?” he asked, looking at me concerned.
I was OK; my heart had stopped trying to break out of my chest as
soon as I heard his voice.

I nodded and
smiled
at him gratefully. “Thanks,” I
muttered. He opened the car door and waited for me to climb in,
before going around to his side again. Once he was in he tossed
something into my lap, I looked down it was a bar of my favourite
chocolate, I couldn’t help but smile. “Thanks, Liam.” He was always
doing sweet things like buying me candy, it was just a shame he was
such a man-whore jerk, otherwise he would probably be a nice
guy.

When I got to
my house
, I went straight to work making
a lasagne for dinner. Liam hovered around the kitchen behind me,
making me feel violated as he stared at my body. “For goodness
sake, Liam, my eyes are up here!” I cried angrily, pointing to my
face.

He laughed.
“Wow, you really are in a bad mood with me today, huh?” he teased,
smirking.

“
Yeah I am. I
can’t believe you this morning. I hate rushing around; I’ve looked
and felt like shit all day,” I cried acidly.

“
I think
you’ve looked hot all day,
” he countered,
shrugging.

“
Ugh, can you
just stop talking to me? I’m not in the mood.” I threw the food in
the oven and started to chop up some salad.

“
Fine,
whatever.” He shrugged again and came to stand next to me, helping
me chop up the salad stuff. He was standing so close to me that I
could feel the heat radiating from his body to m
ine, it was strangely calming.

“
I’m gonna go
start my homework. That
lasagne will be
done in half an hour; I suppose you’re staying for dinner,” I
stated. It wasn’t a question, I knew he would. I’m not sure whether
Jake asked him to stay with me when he was out, but Liam always did
anyway.

“
Sure, seeing
as you asked me so nicely.” H
e
smirked.

“
I wasn’t
asking,” I growled sarcasti
cally as I
turned to walk off.

He grabbed my
hand and stepped closer to me, he was so close my chest was
touching his, I could feel his breath blowing across my face.
“Angel, I’m sorry about this morning, I am. Please stop being all
bitchy to me, it doesn’t suit you,
” he
said quietly.
