Decided By Fate

Slap

Today Dawn invited everyone for dinner at her house. Chris, Oly, Liam will also be there. I am excited to see my friends after long. Liam didn't come back to the penthouse, he's still working at the office. I think I will have to go alone. I took a long relaxing bath and decided to wear something casual, it's family dinner. I selected blue denim shorts and white crop top and left my hairs to dry on their own, only a lip gloss, flip flops and I am ready to go. I was wearing my flip flops when I heard the door open. I collected my sling bag and went out of the room.

Liam stood there looking at me, he looked tired and handsome at the same time. He wanted to ask me something, but refrained. "Liam, are you okay?" I went up to him, touching his forehead, no he doesn't have fever. His breathing made me realize I was very close to him, more than needed. I backed up a bit. 'Cough' " Umm, I was just checking if you have got fever again, you don't look good and I am about to leave for Dawn's, if you're not feeling well, just rest here, I will inform her. Ok?" "I am coming with you, give me 10 minutes" "Are you sure?" "Yes"

I decided to wait for him in the balcony. The cold breeze was soothing. I was enjoying the view when I felt presence behind me and i don't have to turn back, i can sense him, and the smell of his shower gel is my favorite. "You got ready really fast" I said without turning back. "Wear this, it's cold outside" he placed his jacket on me, I wore it still not turning back. He was standing just beside me, if I move now I will bump into him, he has me enclosed. None of us making any move. Finally I decided to face him and turned and as expected bumped into his chest. When I looked at him, he was already looking back at me, not taking a step back. I lowered my eyes, I will blush hard if I make an eye contact with him. After few seconds he sighed, took my hand in his "Let's go" I had all butterflies in my stomach when he held my hand, he had very big hands and very warm.

When we reached Dawn and Drew's Nest as they both call their house, we saw Oly sitting on Chris's lap and Dawn on Drew's. What a scene! "Awwww, my love birds" they all smiled when they saw me and I ran towards them and hugged them tight. "You can also sit on Liam's lap and we can also say awwww" Oly said making me blush "What the hell Oly, shut up" everyone else was laughing and when I looked at Liam he was 'smirking' Oh my God did he just smirk? I looked away immediately. We had our dinner talking about nothing special. We were about to have our desert and start the movie marathon. When the doorbell rang. "I'll take this up" i went to open the door.

I stood at the door dumbfounded. "Oh so little missy is back in the town, that is why Dawn doesn't answer our calls" "Isabella, you have let us down as always, why didn't you visit us?" "Why should I visit you both? Just who are you both?" I was enraged. My reply earned a tight slap "How dare you talk to us like that?" I was ready for the other one but someone stopped his hands midway "No one touches her" Liam hissed. "Mr. Feinberg, you should not interfere in our family matters" "But we can" Drew and Dawn said at the same time. "Oh my baby, we both have missed you" Mrs. Brook went to hug Dawn but was stopped. "Mother, Father please leave. You both are no more welcome here" "Dawn, we are your parents, are you doing this because of this filthy girl" "Dad watch your mouth, I won't repeat myself, Isa is my sister and like a baby to me, don't make me end our relationship. If it ever happens again, if you both raise hand on my sister or scold her anymore our relationship will be over at that instant" "Sissy, no" "Shutup you filthy girl, it's all because of you" "Its not because of Isa, it is because of you guys and I am done with it, Drew please call the security to escort them back" Dawn was fuming by the time she said this "You shouldn't take any stress sissy, it's not good for the baby" I said going beside her and she hugged me tight "You're my first baby" "She's right" chorused Drew hugging both of us. After which Chris and Oly joined and Liam too "Thank you so much Guys". This is how a family should be, I smiled to myself thinking of the emotional moment we just had.
