 Chapter2

Iris went to life at the Mill Guesthouse for some time till her house was finish. Iris went through to the backyard where she saw Liam in the pool. As he got out of the pool Iris found herself staring at him. His strong arms lifting himself, the veins showing and taking his black wet her out of his face. His abs slowly becoming visible. He saw her staring at him and asked: “Like what you see?” Iris snaped back into reality and replied, “Sorry I didn’t mean to stare.” “No, its fine there your eyes you can look where you want to.” “I never asked you but what do you do for a living?” she asked. He teased her by saying: “I’m a swimsuit model.” Iris looked at him and nodded her head. He slightly smiled. “I am just playing am a fireman.” Iris was surprised when he told her. “What do you do?” he asked Iris “I’m a photographer so it’s quite easy to pack up and leave…” Liam interrupted her “Wait a minute your Iris Brookes. You’re a famous nature and wildlife travel photographer!” “Yes, I am Iris Brookes. It is always a pleasure to meet a fan but please don’t tell anyone I came here for peace and to get away from some stuff.” Liam could see there is pain in her bright blue eyes.

“You can talk to me about something that is bothering you, Iris. I’m not good at advice but I’m good at comforting you, shoulder is big if you want to cry.” he said to Iris. She looked at him with a smile and nodded her head. Liam went inside and Iris followed his lead a minute after. Iris went upstairs to go get ready for her meeting with the council members of the town to get permission for tear down the Old Crystal house to build a new house. In front of the City hall Noah stood there with his tight fitted navy suit, waiting for Iris. The mayor is Shelly she is a middle-aged woman with glasses and bright colored clothing. She greeted Iris with a dazzling smile and a handshake “Nice to meet you Miss Brookes, I’m Mayor Shelly Miller.” Iris took her hand and greeted her back “Nice to meet you Mayor Miller.” The meeting went down smoothly, and the Mayor gave Iris permission.

Noah asked: “Let’s go celebrate tonight, my treat, we can go to the diner if you want but I got a better place in mind.” “Uhm… Sure.” she replied. “I’ll pick you up at seven” Noah said with a smile on his face.

Iris got a dress at one of the dress shops to wear. She tokes a bubble bath with slow music playing in the background. She did not know that the bath was in Liam’s private bathroom. Liam came into his room and got undressed. He heard music for the bathroom. He tied a towel around his waist and went to look what it was. Iris’s eyes were closed, and she was sing with the music. Liam walked in. “Oh my! Sorry…” Liam got interrupted By Iris “What the hell Liam get out!” “Sorry I am so sorry Iris” Iris got out of the bath. Threw her robe on and went to Liam’s room. “Do you just walk in on your guest taking a bath?!” Liam stood there with a smirk and explained that its his bathroom. Iris stood with a red face and apologized to Liam. He bites his bottom lip and looked her up and down “Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone that you have nice… shoulders” he smiled slightly. She crossed her arms and walked away. Liam staring at her as she walked. “Women! They are hot but can be a tease sometime”

Iris do not like to wear lots of make-up put she did put on some just to look decent. She curled her hair and styled it. She got a dressed and put on her new shoes. The doorbell rang and before Liam could open it Iris was already there to open the door. Noah stood there with his black tux and red tie. He looked at Iris with a sparkle in his eye “You look gorgeous.” “Thank you, you cleanup pretty nice to.” she said with a flirty smile. At the car he opened the car door for her. She thanked him and he went to his side of the car. On the way the music played, and Iris favorite song played. She sang along with the lyrics. “Wow you have nice voice.” Noah complimented Iris. “Thank you but I am not that good” They sang the song all the way to the restaurant. It was a small place just outside Crystalville. Noah helped Iris out of the car and went to the entrance. The place was packed with well dressed people and the waiter took them to their table. They talked all night. On the way back to Crystalville Noah said to Iris “Tonight was fun we should do it again sometime.” Iris had a heartbroken expression on her face. “What’s wrong?” Noah asked. Iris told him: “I am sorry but this was just as friends. I just got out of a relationship with a guy, Bill, We had a toxic relationship and I’m not ready to be in other relationship.” Iris wants to cry but she keeps it in. Not telling Noah the truth for now is the best.
