Discovering My Stranger

Flying to London Part 2

Kate’s P.O.V

I woke my head was pounding. The light coming into the room from the windows was too bright for my eyes. How much did I drink last night and how did I get here. I looked around the big room which looked very luxurious and better than the hotel room I woke up in a few months back. Oh no I did it again. I drunk my life away again. I gave myself a slap on the forehead and Liam just walked in.

“Hey. you up?” he smiled at me and started moving forward towards my bed. “How did you sleep?” he asked.

Then it just hit me like a flash back. I was on a plane to London with Liam last night to attend his sister Susan’s birthday dinner.

“What time did we arrive?” I looked at the clothes I wore, and they weren’t mine “and who’s clothes am I wearing?” I wondered if they were his and who changed me.

“Mine. I hope you don’t mind I helped you get changed” he began to laugh “I wasn’t going to go through your bags, so I decided to dress you in my clothes” then he smiled. I felt shy at the thought of him changing me.

“Get a shower while I make breakfast for both of us” I just nodded in agreement. “Eggs, bacon and toast?” he asked

 “Yes please” he turned and left through the same door he came in. I got up from the bed heading to the door on my left which I assumed was the bathroom and I was right. I stripped down, stepping underneath the shower and sighed in delight as the water fell over my body. I could have stayed in there longer, but Liam was making us breakfast. I dried my body and put on a pair of jeans, a tank top and put a cardigan on top. My hair was pulled back in a ponytail and I slipped on some house slippers.

I could hear Liam humming away as I went down the stairs and boy the eggs and bacon smelled good.

 “Can I help you with anything?” I asked

“Can you set the table please?” He said, smiling over his shoulder at me

“Sure, thing boss.” I smiled, looking around to find the plates and utensils. I set the table, making us some coffee before sitting down at the table. Liam joined me placing a plate of bacon, eggs and toast in front of me. I groaned as the food smelled so good. I was so hungry I dug straight in. I would catch Liam having quick glances at me while we had our breakfast and he just smiled.

After we’re both done, I grabbed his plate and mine over to the sink and he tried to stop me.

“No guest of mine shall stand by the sink and clean up. Leave it someone will clean up” he tries to pull me away from the sink.

“No, it’s the least I can do and I never leave a mess for others to clean” just then he pulls me making me turn to face him. We are so close I can feel his warm breath on my skin. This is not the first time we are getting this close, I always think his going to kiss me and I move away but today I want him to kiss me but then as I move closer closing the space between us, he steps back, and I feel embarrassed. I turn to wash the dishes in the sink and try to hide how embarrassed I feel. I have never made a move towards a guy and he dodges it. What was I thinking? I just tried to kiss my boss. Soon I hear Liam exit the kitchen and goes up the stairs to his room. After a while he comes back down asks me to put some shoes so that we can leave for the mall. We drive in silence to the mall recalling the awkward moment we shared in the kitchen back at his apartment. I still feel so embarrassed and I cannot wait to get to the mall and part ways maybe I will feel better.

Once we arrive at Oxford Street I jump out of his car and inform him I will meet up with him later.

“Hey, let’s meet back here at the car in 2hrs, I hope that’s enough time for you to get what you need.” I nod at him in agreement and leave. I know exactly what I am getting because I made my order for the perfect dress two days ago. Oxford Street is very busy over the weekend, so I did well to make an order earlier.

Susan is married to a duke so this dinner is obviously high class, and everyone will be dressed very elegant. I make my way through to Dorothy Perkins which is a global fashion brand with a focus on exciting, affordable and feminine fashion. With clothing in sizes 4-28, daily new arrivals and collections which include occasion wear, bridal, denim, workwear and accessories, there's always something new to discover. This has been one of my favorite stores to shop in and a few others. I present my electronic receipt and collect me dress. There after I visit Calzebonia, Pandora, Next, Swarovski and not forgetting Forever 21. Janet gave me her own shopping list which I had to follow, or I would be dead if I returned without getting her things. I return to Liam’s jaguar and the driver notices me quickly opening the boot for me to put my gazillion shopping bags. Am glad his not yet back and I jump into the back seat and wait. After a good 10mins the back-seat passenger door opens and Liam jumps in sitting next to me. Soon I notice the driver open the boot once more to put Liam’s shopping bags and we soon leave Oxford Street. Liam got into the car with what looks like food packs and soon told me he got us lunch which we can heat up once we got home.

We arrived at the apartment at 1pm and that’s when Liam notices my shopping bags and his mouth drops opens shocked at how many bags belong to me.

“How on earth did you manage to buy all these things in less than 2hrs?”

I burst out laughing “I pre-ordered the things before I came, or should I say Janet pre-ordered and I had to collect on her behalf”

“I never really understand why women ever need so much stuff anyway” we both laugh and head inside.

We both head inside and have our lunch. The next few hours went by like a blur. I was locked up in my room getting ready. I had to do my hair which I curled up in curlers and was working on my nails now.

 At exactly 6pm I went down the stairs holding an Amanda Pearl embossed clutch and a gift bag in my left hand and a Kelvin Klein coat in the right hand. Liam was standing at the bottom looking up at me amazed. He was in a black tax and his hair was combed back with abit of gel to keep it that way. I could smell his expensive cologne as I came down. Liam’s mouth dropped open the moment I was standing next to him. I wore a Royal blue JVN by Jovani high neck and backless dress which trailed my body showing off every detail of my body, Doves by Doron Paloma Gold Malachite earrings and Badgley Mischka vogue lii D’orsay shoes. I managed to pull of deep curls which fell on my left shoulder and leaving my half exposed back open. Liam started biting on his bottom lip. I don’t think he realized what he was doing and that I was standing in front of him.

“You look great boss” I smiled shyly

“You look amazing am so jealous everyone’s eyes will be on you this evening” he looks down from my chest to my hips and back to my face.

 “Damn you are smoking hot!” he bites his bottom lip once more. I hit him softly with my clutch on his chest before I head for the door.

“Will you stop drooling over me and come open the door for me?” I smile at him over my shoulder.
