Loving you again

Chapter 3

"You know I really like you, right?!" Savannah asked with uncertainty.

Damon looked at her, she could see what she means to him in his eyes but now she needs to hear it.

"I want you to say it, Damon," she said twisting a strand of hair.

Damon pulled her close, their noses touching, " Do you not know how I feel about you?" He asked.

"I just need to hear" Savannah mumbled.

"I never wanted anything to do with relationships, I didn't need anyone or so I thought. But I was clean bowled when I saw you in that dark green dress your hair falling like a curtain between us." He said placing a small kiss on her lips, "I really like you too, Savannah Lane."

Savannah couldn't help but lean into him again. She felt like she was in heaven as her arms snaked around him. She breathed in his deep woody scent. She placed small kisses along his neck. He buried his face in her hair. That really was Savannah's happy picture.

Liam was sitting in his cabin trying to go through the documents he was going to sign tomorrow but all he could do was think about the girl with brown eyes, Green dress sitting outside his cabin going through the files. Her eyes had some sense of familiarity in them. At the same time in depths, they showed the pain in them.

when she told him he looked exactly as someone she knew, he didn't like it. and he bloody couldn't understand why he felt like that because for heaven's sake this is the first time he was seeing her.

He thanked heaven's when he made a quick joke about his looks and rushed inside because god forbid if stood there for a second he would have taken her into his arms and would have told her everything would be alright. It all seemed Bizarre to him. He removed his dark blue suit blazer, He was trying to remember if he saw her somewhere but nope, nothing came to his mind. he ran a hand through his hair.

He took his phone and called his security head Tucker.

"Yes sir," came Tucker's voice.

"I Need you to do a background check on someone," he said.

"Yes sir"

"I need it ASAP, like not the regular employee check. I need you to dig deep."

"yes, sir, name?"

"Savannah Lane"

Once he cut the call with Tucker he could concentrate on his emails. Those brown orbs taking a back seat in his mind. He was holed up until lunchtime, he should probably call Ava and ask her to wrap her work before they go to lunch. A sudden email popped in his inbox it was from Tucker.

That is all I Could find in her sir.

Liam frowned looking at the screen. Princeton. He was never been to Princeton and he was sure he has not seen her before.

There was a small knock on the door he called them to come inside. There was silence even after the person entered also if it had been Belinda she would have started speaking by now.

"Would you just keep staring at me, Ms. Lane?" He asked not looking at her.

Savannah found her voice immediately, "No sir, Belinda just asked me to give the file." She said and Liam could note down the nervousness in her voice.

"Place it on the desk", he said dismissively.

Savannah turned as soon as she placed the file on the table. She started walking out, Liam looked at retrieving back. He felt her turn so he immediately looked down.

"Mr. Campbell" she called him.

"Yes, Ms.Lane?" he said still not looking at her.

"Do you have a brother or a cousin who looks exactly like you?" She asked.

That got Liam's attention, he looked up from the screen, "Not that I know of, why?" he asked amused.

Savannah flushed she couldn't believe herself she asked her boss that. She gave him a little embarrassed smile, "Oh.. nothing sir. Just forget I asked that."

Liam chuckled, he couldn't help it. She looked so confused. She flushed a deep red. Frankly speaking, he was amused. Man, this woman is something.

Just when he logged out of his laptop. Ava poked her head inside. "Are you done?" She asked him

"Yeah... I was just about to message you" he told her.

She poked her head and asked Ms. Lane to tell Belinda to cancel all my afternoon appointments. Liam was about to protest but he needs to get out, get out and think straight.

"We are taking my car," Ava said rushing towards hers.

"Ava... I am taking you out on lunch not the other way round. "

"I know and I am quite surprised you asked me for lunch," she said.

Liam just shook his head, "Your mom called"

Ava frowned at him as they hit the road, " She wants me to take you out, she told me how much you are involved in your work. She asked me to make sure at least take you out on a quiet lunch."

Ava sighed, "And here I thought you are taking me out on your free will."

"Well.... that was just what she told and you know how much I love to have you around," Liam said.

"Liar" Ava chuckled.

****

"Let's go to my place, it's been long we hung out together."

"I would Ava... but I have a very important meeting tomorrow and I need to pick something from the office too."

"Oh.. then I will drop you at the office and I will also get some work done." She said.

"No..no... you go home. Have a nice relaxing evening. Come to the office tomorrow and complete your work." He said authoritatively.

"But..."

"No Buts... I will take a taxi and you drive back to your place safely. Bye.. see you Tomorrow." He said getting out.

"Bye," he heard Ava said and slowly driving away.

Liam had no idea why he wanted to go back to the office again. Yes, he had important documents to read and his laptop was still there but usually, Tucker would get them back from the office. But as Liam was getting into the elevator he knew why he was going back. He wanted to see her again.

Yuck! He sounded like those pervert bosses. He contemplated going back. He would see her tomorrow right.? But before he could decide the lift door opened with a ting.

He heard her singing, she was not good. He was a pretty good singer himself. When he was seventeen he wanted to be a singer and that is a whole different story.

"Please, Ms.Lane you couldn't sing to save a life." He said.

****

Shit.

"Mr. Campbell...?!" She asked confused.

"Yes, Ms. Lane..?" He asked grinning at her.

Her face flushed red with embarrassment. Her phone was still playing the song. She immediately rushed to turn the music off.

Liam chuckled at her, "I don't mind little music, Ms.Lane unless there is no horrible singing to it."

Horrible? How dare he!? She knew she wasn't a good singer but horrible?!

He must look like Damon but he is not kind as Damon at least Damon never degraded her singing.

"Aren't you leaving?" He asked.

"I was just about to pack up Mr.Campbell." she muttered.

"Good then, see you tomorrow Ms. Lane"

Savannah breathed out as soon as he was out of sight.' Man, this is super embarrassing' she thought.

By the time Savvy turned off the computer and packed her stuff, Liam was coming out of his office. Savvy rushed behind Liam so that she would not have to go through the torturous elevator ride alone.

The door of the lift opened with a ting, Liam was checking something seriously on his phone. Savannah climbed inside and pressed the ground button. To divert herself from her anxiousness she took out her phone and started looking at the gallery. Obviously, she still has stacks of Damon's picture in her hidden gallery and when she opened a picture and automatic smile graced her lips. This was the picture she clicked on a random day when he cooked for her, it was a side picture and he was flipping their food from the pan. Her eyes zoomed on one tiny spot on his face, he had a small little scar just below the ear and the jaw. The same spot where she kissed him a million times. Savvy jerked suddenly as the elevator door got opened with a Ting.

She straightened her back, she was scared to turn around and look at Liam, if he had any scar.

"Do you plan on getting out, Ms.Lane?" she heard Liam behind. She turned around staring at the dark blue orbs, in the pit of her stomach she knew he was Damon before seeing the scar. 'How was it possible that they had the same eyes'. Her eyes slowly looked at that spot. The stubble growing covered his jaw.

If you are a person who was looking for it the very first time, you will not notice it but for Savvy she had seen that scar so many times. She had caressed it so many times with stubble, without a stubble. Her eyes searched his face, he just looked confused, he didn't recognize her, he didn't recognize his Savvy, his Savannah, how?

How could that happen?
